(Ciel's POV)
I was sitting at my desk tapping my foot. I had wanted to get some work done but I was too distracted. My mind was running through everything that could've possibly happened. I would never admit it to anyone else, but I was honestly terrified. The thought that something could break my carefully crafted facade was truly scary. I shifted my weight around, trying to get comfortable in my chair. Realizing I couldn't, I got up and grabbed a book from a nearby shelf. I looked at the title without actually reading it, and flipped to a random page. My eyes quickly skimmed over the words.
"She ran over to him; her worried face dripping with tears and sweat. 'I thought I'd lost you.' 'I will always be with you my love.' She smiled. She then knew that she would be okay as long as she was with him."
Ew what kind of sappy story is this? Something had clicked within me but still hadn't registered in my mind. I put the book back on the shelf, wondering why I even had a book like that. My mind snapped back to reality. How long is that bastard going to take? My thoughts turned to Sebastian. He had looked so terrible earlier, I wondered what had happened to him. Had someone raided the mansion? Somewhere it clicked that it had been my fault, and a strange knot formed at the bottom of my stomach. Why the hell would I be worried about that bastard? But I was worried. I was truly concerned about him, and something else. I missed him? But what does that mean?Someone knocked at my door. The knot became tighter. Was it him?
"Young Master?" A high pitched female voice rang out from behind my closed door.
"You may enter Mey-Rin" I waited for her to come inside and shut the door behind her. "What is it?"
"I'm sorry if this is rude of me but..." she trailed off. I motioned for her to continue. "Um, do you know what's wrong with Mister Sebastian?" I laughed, the empty sound reverberating off the walls of my office. I combed a hand through my messy hair. "I was honestly hoping you could tell me". She looked disappointed, and I couldn't blame her.
"I'm sorry for the trouble, Master". She slipped out of the room, uncharacteristically quiet. I blew the hair out of my face frustratedly. Another dead end I suppose. Soon enough there was a familiar knock at the door.
"May I come in, Young Master?" Relief and tension filled my body all at once, and I took a shallow breath before replying.
"Yes Sebastian, you may"
