Falling In And Out Of Love

The ending that starts the beginning...

     ((Ciel's P.O.V.))
"SEBASTIAN!! HELP ME!", I screamed as I plummeted towards the ground. I knew deep down that wouldn't survive this. There would be nothing I could do. Nothing Sebastian could do. Nothing anyone could do. I ceased my attempts to call for help because in the end they had all been futile. I honestly wished that I could have ended my life better. I planned on exacting my revenge on all of the people who'd embarrassed me and sullied my name, but I won't even live to see the next day.  I closed my eyes and prepared myself for death. I know that I won't be going to heaven.

I'd be going to hell.

Sebastian would probably be there, so I guess this is what I wanted in the end.

-End of flashback-

"Young Master, it is time to wake up." I'd heard my demonic butler say this phrase hundreds of times, but it never really meant anything to me. I opened my eyes, only to be blinded by the golden rays protruding through my windows. I mentally begged Sebastian to keep the heavy, velvety curtain closed, but it seemed as though he read my mind. He looked into my eyes with that same nonchalant smile and tore the curtains open.

Knowing I wouldn't be able to go back to sleep, (mainly because of the bright sun, but also because Sebastian wouldn't allow it) I threw the blankets off of me and my legs to the side of the bed. I had a slight headache, but I figured that it was from the way they I'd slept last night.

I sat on the edge of my bed silently and waited for Sebastian tell me what I would be having for breakfast along with today's schedule. "Today, you will be having Earl Grey tea with a choice of a scone, danish, or muffin. Which would you like, my lord?" With my eyes still closed and my hands massaging my temples, I finally managed to speak. "The scone."

Sebastian hands me the scone along with my cup of tea. The small porcelain cup was beautiful. It was a natural beige color with gold accents. There were vines entwined around the cup and I felt as though they were pulling me within the cup.

'The cup was beautiful, like my mother. It was delicate, yet intricately detailed.' I thought to myself. My hands began trembling and I felt the strong urge to scream, but I suppressed it.

((Sebastian's P.O.V.))

'Young Master looks troubled. Should I ask about it? No, that is not my place. I am his butler, he is my master. That boundary shall not be crossed.'

((Ciel's P.O.V.))

Sebastian was about to begin to tell me today's schedule until he looked at me and saw how I was admiring the cup. I was able to sneak a quick glance at him while he gazed out of the window.

He looked worried. 'No, not Sebastian. I'm just seeing things. Demons don't feel. They have no emotions. He's only pretending to worry about me to sway my emotions and "spice up his meal".' I silently began to sip my tea and nibble on bits of my scone.

"Today's schedule, young master..." , Sebastian began, "is actually clear. There were a few things planned, but I felt the need to cancel them. Seeing as though you have received quite a lot of mail from the Trancy residence."

"The Trancys? I feel like I've heard that name, but I cannot remember where." Sebastian lets me finish eating and then he bathes and dresses me. We head downstairs and I being eating breakfast. 'What should I do today? I could focus on my studies and let Sebastian tutor me? Or I could invite Lizzy over? I do not know.
