Ciel Phantomhive was given eternity, he was gifted a life beyond time and an escape from death. All of these,when presented to a normal human, would be like winning an impossible jackpot, and human as selfish as they are will grab at the chance. But Ciel Phantomhive was no ordinary human, well not anymore. Turned into a demon against his will by Alois Trancy and now forever hated by the person he cared for the most, His demon butler Sebastian.

A year into his new demonling life he was contemplating his decision in setting the demon free or not. Ciel knew that if he held Sebastian captive he might die of starvation with the contract still in order and the bloody idiot refused to take side contracts to keep his being fed. So it was either set him free or let him die. Either way both options include the older demon to leave his side.
On a fine day in London, Ciel lounged in the inn they had rented, he had wanted to go back to the human world to think things through and Sebastian couldn't care less of what his master had in mind.

The demon butler hardly cared anymore, as if his life had just ended there, that day he was turned into a demon. Ciel still remembered his butlers smirks, his witty comeback and jokes just to jest his young master, he could still remember Sebastian's smile every so often, now though all of that was non existent, as if blown away by the winds of fate.

The young demon wouldn't admit it but he hated how they are now, a stark contrast to their relationship before. Sebastian was cold and distant, he was eerily quiet and reserved, only speaking when necessary or to answer a question. His face bore an expression that told how much weight the demom was carrying on his back, the weight Ciel had unintentionally put. He didn't want ANY of this, he told the bloody sod to hurry up and eat his soul before any external intervention brought them apart and because of the demon's posessiveness on his soul, Alois (the bastard) found a way out for Ciel. Maybe Alois did succeed, he brought Sebasyian to his slow demise and Ciel to his eternal pain of loosing the one being that he loved.

He hated it...and he wanted to end it.

"Master, the carriage is here" Sebastian's monotone voice called out, Ciel turned, looking at how stiff Sebatian had become. A hollow demon devoid of his phantom spirit that the young demon once loved.
At that instant, Ciel had finally decided what to do.

"Tell him to take us to the cementery"

Despite the seemingly cheery day, the ride towards the cementery was anything but. Sebastian sat stiffly, looking anywhere but his young master who looked as if he were to make the biggest decision of his demon life. Ciel internally sighed, the faster it's done the better.

The cementery was quiet and still, as Ciel wanted it to be, he was going to need to do this away from prying eyes and wandering stares. Sebastian followed in suite, trailing behind the young one as they walked from grave to grave until finally Ciel stopped. It was then that Sebatian had realized what grave his master stoped at. It was his own, the gravestone stood with the letter engraved:

In memory of

Ciel Phantomhive, who had left way before his time.

Sebastian stood, shocked. Though he would never show thay emotion to his young master...not anymore.
Ciel snorted, to see his own grave despite still living, though now not as a human, but as a vile creature chained to the earth and below. It was all a jest to him, they put so much effort in his burial, there were fresh flowers still by the side,placed there by none other than Elizabeth just recently, if they'd known he was still alive they'd pester him and never let go. But he was beyond that now and as unprepared as he was, he was ready to let go on his own.

"Sebastian" the young one called, the older demon placed a hand on his mock heart and answered a curt "Yes my lord?" in a tone Ciel was beginning to get used to despite getting hurt everytime he hears it. No. This was no time for his selfish desire, this was about their survival.
