Ciel waited nervously at the kitchen table. How was Sebastian going to react when he saw him? He was probably completely different now; after all, it'd been a full five years since they'd last seen each other. Ciel was surprised he'd kept the apartment. 'Maybe it held too many memories.' He thought hopefully.
Sebastian parked his car and entered the apartment. He felt exhausted. Who knew working as some idiotic cashier and having to deal with idiot customers could be so tiring? "I need to get a new job." He said to himself, running his fingers through his hair. He reached his floor and opened the door to his room. He stopped.
Sitting in his kitchen was a boy, no, a man. A man he knew, a man he'd lost, and now found. "Hey." Ciel forced a smile at Sebastions gape. "Remember me?" "Bocchan..." Upon hearing his nickname, Ciel shuffled over to the black haired man with the aid of his walker. He hadn't changed at all. His shoulders were a bit broader, but that was about it. "I did it." Ciel said triumphantly. "I can walk. Sort of. And I kept my promise. I came back." He looked up expectantly.
Sebastian's eyes filled with tears. "You came back." He repeated, and pulled Ciel into a tight embrace. "Bocchan, you came back." He buried his face in Ciel's shoulder and whispered again, "You came back." When Sebastian finally pulled away, he said, "And you can walk! I can't believe it! You can't imagine how proud I am! You can actually walk again!" Ciel laughed, relieved at Sebastian's enthusiasm. "You haven't changed."
Sebastian grinned. "You have. Now you're not just cute, your totally hot." This made Ciel blush. He may have grown up, but he was still easily flustered.
Sebastian picked Ciel up bridal style. "Now promise me you'll never leave my side." Closing his eyes, Ciel replied with, "I promise." And brought Sebastian into a kiss.
