Despite Death and Sorrow

Chapter 20: Reunited

Herro fellow lovelies! I'm so sorry this update is late, I was very very busy over Christmas and New Years as well as my birthday and didn't get the chance to right this chapter. But do not fret!!! Dye-Kun is here for you!! And with my magical pixie powers, I shall grant you your wish of a new chappie!!

(Sebastian's P.O.V)

My eyes fluttered open. "Oh my. I must've fallen asleep reading the Young Master his stories," I said to myself. Looking down to the bed sheets I saw a smaller body beside me, beginning to stirr.

I froze. "Ci- My Lord?" I asked softly, not believing this to be true. "Ugh, Sebastian...?" Ciel groaned softly, looking up at me with sleepy mismatched eyes.

"Yes," I said with a small smile. His eyes suddenly widened as the smaller demon lunged at me, wrapping his arms around my neck.

I was at a loss for words as my head stung slightly. Probably just a headache from all the excitement. "Y - Young Master are you feeling alright?" I asked.

Ciel only tightened his grasp. "Sebastian I...I remember everything from before. I remember making a contract with you, and all the servants, and you." He looked up at me.

"I remember what we had between us. What we have." I blinked. "Ciel?" I questioned quietly. The boy chuckled softly, a small grin gracing his features. "Yes, Sebastian?" He asked.

Overwelmed by so many emotions, I could only embrace him tightly. "Ciel...my Ciel," I whispered softly, stroking his blue-grey hair gently. "I have missed you so, so much. You have no idea how much it hurt me to see you look at me every morning with nothing but pure resentment in those beautiful eyes of yours."

Those words were true. Living with Ciel for this long with him having no memory of our past together caused me more pain than any blade every could.

Ciel looked away in thought, seeming to remember something. "I think I can imagine it," he said softly, pulling away slightly to look me in the eyes.

"Did you put me in that dream state?" Ciel searched my eyes. I bit my lip nervously. "Yes," I admitted. "It was the only way I could bring you back to your normal self. I tried everything. I did not think it would take so long. I deeply apologize if I hurt you. Please forgive me."

The boy sighed softly, resting his cheek on my chest. "It's alright,"he mumbled. "I understand. I'm kind of glad you did. This whole time, I was sort of stuck inside a shell of myself. I yearned to come out and tell you how I really felt but I could only watch as this strange, other me did all the talking for me."

I grinned slightly. "And how do you really feel?" I teased softly. Rolling his two-toned eyes, Ciel looked back up to me. "Sebastian. I...I love you." His pale cheeks were tinged with a soft pink in embarrassment.

My head stung once more, stronger this time, but I ignored it as the happiness in my heart overpowered the pain. "I love you too," I chirped happily.

Ciels blush increased before slowly leaning up to be eye level with me. Smiling warmly, I brushed my lips against the youngers, the same spark from long ago returned stronger than ever.

Oh how I've missed this feeling. But the more I kissed him, the more pings of pain I felt in my head. It's nothing. I gently pulled away from the kiss. "You look like a tomato, my love," I chuckled deeply.

"S-Shut up," he mumbled, looking away. Ciel and I could finally spend the rest of eternity together. And I know we would enjoy every second of it.
