There he was, reaching out for him.

 just a little bit more and i'll be safe with him!

Ciel streached his petite arms as best as he could, Sebastian was there, he was right there just wanting, needing to touch his young master. His eyes held that of desperation, an emotion in which Ciel had never had the chance of witnessing till now. 

Young master!

He could almost hear Sebastian's voice call out to him. Almost there.

And then..And then

"Sebastian!" Undertaker's death scythe had plunged itself into his stomach, blood came out of his mouth and his wound. His desperate eyes still fixed on his master and how he wanted to take the kid in his arms and keep him away from the world. 

"Sebastian! Sebastian!!!"

Ciel suddenly shot up from his bed in a cold sweat, his chest heaving up and down as he took big deep breaths in hopes of calming himself down, with each breath he took he only felt his lungs cave in making it a struggle to breath properly. the horrible image had somehow etched itself in his mind and shaking him to the core, Ciel felt the tears but they didn't help him one bit. he needed Sebastian, he couldn't be dead, no. He's a powerful demon, he would never leave Ciel behind, he is still bound by the contract wasn't he? Ciel ran to the bathroom in a frantic state, looking at himself in the mirror to see that the mark was still there and it was glowing, Sebastian was still there, he was safe.

"Young master!" he heard a distant voice call out to him, Ciel immediately recognized the voice and ran towards wherever it was while stumbling on his own two feet. Strong arms wrapped around his body as Ciel relaxed, he needed to regulate his breathes and calm down. he was safe now and Sebastian was alive..he's alive...he's well.

"Sebastian..Sebastian, Sebastian!" Ciel cried, gripping tightly unto his butler's tailcoat and finding comfort little by little. "Young master i'm here..i'm still here and i will not be leaving you anytime soon" Sebastian breathed into Ciel's ear, the boy's body was shaking in pure fright and hie tears fell like a waterfall on his chest. Sebastian, in his state, disregarded his aesthetics and had settled them both down on the floor for Ciel refused to move, he continued to soothe down his young master with warm and soft words. It was night like these when Sebastian would fear for his master's mental state. he was still just a boy and yet he held within him countless amounts of traumatizing memories, one that would haunt him at night, either he'd wake up screaming for air or just startled. 

Sebastian pulled away to look at Ciel's eyes, they held so much emotion, such a level of fear was never fit for someone his age, the war in himself and in his mind, his identity and who he really was meant to be. "I don't want to be alone Sebastian please! don't leave me! never again Sebastian do you hear me?! Sebastian don-" Sebastian dipped his head and had cut Ciel off of his sentence with a gentle kiss on the young one's lips, instantly calming the boy down as he gripped Sebastian tighter and closer to him. "Young master, i would never desert you, till the day our contract end and beyond i will always be by your side. you will never loose me young master and that is a promise i intend to keep for eternity" he hugged the boy once more, relieved at the fact that his cries had slowed down and he was shaking less now, Sebastian always knew how to calm the Earl down, he was his anchor to reality, the demon that had fallen in love with a human and had grown to care for his master in a whole new way. He was not going to let anyone touch or hurt his master, never again will he be in pain, not one single drop of blood will be shed in the future and not one single hair will be harmed.

Sebastian moved them to the bed and there he cradled the boy in his arms, his arms never left Ciel even as he reached over to move the candelabrum close and blew into the flames to extinguish them, he carefully took of his shoes and coat before he laid down, pulling Ciel with him.

Ciel nuzzled his face in the crook of his lover's neck and took a deep refreshing breath, he was here and alive and that was all that mattered. Sebastian's body heat was still existent and his heart was beating slowly for his master and only for his master.

"Close your eyes, Bocchan. You still need to rise early tomorrow" He cooed in Ciel's ear and placed a soft kiss on the boy's head.

"Stay with me until i fall asleep Sebastian" Ciel mumbled, feeling his eyelids grow heavy once again, he pulled himself closer to Sebastian to reassure himself that it was not some dream. 

"I will stay until the end of time, Bocchan"

Needless to say, Ciel rose early feeling refreshed and ready the following morning.
