Sebastian laid in the dirt, his life slowly fading due to the injury he sustained while fighting the Undertaker. With teary eyes and failing strength, Ciel clenched tightly his butler's hand. The boy sobbed and sniffled so violently that he could hardly manage to turn his thoughts into words. "That damn..reaper! Sebastian, hold on, please! You're... You are all that I have left!" The demon slowly opened his cloudy eyes, a slight smile growing on his lips. He squeezed his master's tiny hand affectionately. "Forgive me, my lord. I won't be able to make it this time. Even so," he paused to catch his breath, "...you know that I will always, be with you, even if my earthly body disappears. My spirit will live on inside of you, beside you. Now, in my last moments, take this time to say goodbye." Sebastian's eyelids began to droop. His enchanting orbs, once a fiery crimson, were now a tragic shade of grey. Ciel's face contorted into a painful expression of heartbreak. "No! I don't want to say goodbye! I can't..." He buried his face in the man's chest. He felt it heave as he chuckled with what little energy he had left. "The end has come, I fear. I cannot recover an injury, from a reaper's scythe. Look at me," he said quietly. The Earl lifted up his head. He was trying his best to remain strong in the final glances of his beloved servant, but the tears still streamed down his cheeks. "I will die soon. Though you won't be able to see me anymore, you will have your memories. Cherish them, never forget. You cannot let them go. Know that, whether in your darkest times, or in your best, I'll be watching over you. Remember the time we spent together, remember me...forever. And, if forever doesn't last, you will have no need for my memory anymore. For now, though," he coughed, "you must accept that you can survive whatever the future has in store for you. As long as you continue to hold me close, we will never grow apart." - ✞
