Fragmenta Glacialis: a Ciel X Sebastian

Master...

Narrator's POV

Ciel looked at the figure that approached him, smiling drunkenly as he sat atop the frame.

"I waited for you!" The blunette repeated

The man stepped out of the shadows and into the moonlight: he was tall with messy yet neat black hair framing crimson eyes; very little of his skin was revealed due to his many layers of clothes, but what was revealed didn't seem like human skin at all.

Humans had flushes of pink and red in their skin, his skin seemed to have a blueness to it, but only his face and fingers —that were ripped with long black nails— were shown, it seemed the rest of his body was pitch black.

He wore a pale blue, loose fitting robe that was tied around his waist with a plain white rope, the robe itself was lined with white lace that looked like snowflakes.

His feet and legs were covered with black leather boots that had large, sharp heels.

Around his shoulders was a pure white fur cape that seemed to be made of fox skins due to the fox head on his right shoulder.

Finally, atop his head, was a crown made of ice that resembled antlers.

"What a beautiful mirror I have." The man commented, getting close to him and asking, "Tell me, boy, what is your name?"

"My name is Ciel, Ciel Phantomhive!" The blue eyed boy eagerly replied, feeling compelled to obey this man's every word

The man chuckled at his behavior, "Such wonderful fortune had brought you to me, Ciel. I will explain more when we return home, but now we must leave; the ghastly sun will be rising soon."

He then snapped his fingers, making a sleigh that was being pulled by ravens made of ice rush towards them.

Holding his hand out, the man said, "Come now, little mirror, tile to go."

"B-But my frame-" Ciel stuttered, taking his hand yet not moving from where he stood

The man snapped his fingers yet again, making the silver of the frame leave the wood and wrap itself around Ciel's head, forming a headpiece continuing just beaded rows draping all over his head with one large snowflake at the side.

Leaving the circle of wood behind, Ciel happily got into the sleigh and cuddled into the man's fur cape.

Ciel didn't know how much time had passed since he had gotten into the sleigh but he didn't care, he had been found.

Eventually, they approached a portal spreading out snowflakes and went right through, entire a dark world covered in snow.

They rode through the snowy ground, passing frozen lakes and fields.

Everything that wasn't made of snow was made of ice, even the plants and animals.

Eventually, they approached a building made of stone encased in ice and lightly dusted with snow.

The blunette looked at it all with amazement, the beautiful structure encasing his sight and yet his mind whispered to him that he was home.

He didn't fully understand the actions he had taken, but he simply knew that it felt right so he would simply continue following his gut.

A few minutes more passed and they arrived at a stable where they exited the sleigh and the ravens melted into the ice.

Ciel's eyes widened at the sight of the animals vanishing but quickly got over it as he rushed to follow the man out and into the castle.

"Where are we?" Ciel asked, catching up to him

"In my palace." Was the answer he received

"And where would that be?"

"In my realm."

Ciel realized he probably wouldn't be getting specific answers so he changed his questions, "Who are you, sir?"

"I am Sebastian, King of Ice and Snow, Lord of Winter and Champion of the Night and Moon and Stars." The man informed, "But you shall be calling me 'master', little mirror."

"Why do you keep calling me 'mirror'?" Ciel asked, tilting his head slightly

Sebastian opened the large door into the ginormous castle, leading Ciel into the throne room, "I imagine you stumbled across a mirror earlier and the glass shattered all over you."

"It did, master." Ciel confirmed, nodding his head

"My mirror fell from my sleigh last night and fell into the woods were you found it. I was unable to return for it until tonight." Sebastian answered, sitting upon a beautiful carved throne made of ice like most things in this world, "The shards of the glass has merged with you, thus making you the mirror. The mirror was magic and semi-sentient, it has chosen you to be its new form."

Ciel nodded, accepting it, "And what is the mirror exactly?"

"It is my most prized possession, it allows me to see anywhere in all the realms and it's the only one in existence. I cannot leave my realm during the day, so the mirror allows me to watch the other worlds while I am restrained to my own." Sebastian explained

"And how will it work now? I'm not really a mirror." Ciel frowned, feeling a bit ashamed of his very human body

"But you are, no you do not have a panel of glass but you are still a mirror. The eyes are windows to the soul and your soul is where the magic of the mirror now resides. My little mirror, you will spend eternity allowing me to gaze into your beautiful eyes." Sebastian informed

Ciel blushed at the compliments, "Okay, master."

Back in the other world, Lizzy rushed to her aunt and uncle's farm house as soon as the sun rose, telling her Uncle Vincent and Aunt Rachel that Ciel had run into the woods last night.

Rachel immediately began crying, terrified her baby was dead.

Vincent cursed, grabbing a rifle as he planned to bring his son home dead or alive.

"I'll come with you!" Lizzy decided, following him out

Together, they went into the unforgiving forest surrounding their village, determined to save Ciel if it wasn't already too late...
