Ciel is younger, still innocent and naive as a young boy should be his age. But he had his share of the cruelty, he could thank his parents for that. And it was at that night that he had finally broken down, finally decided to cry for what he wished for, and grieve over what he had lost. It was at that moment that that creature had appeared, the mysterious stranger that held him close when no one else did. It was then, he realized, despite loosing so much, he gained one thing that could replace all....
AU: Modern, Sebastian is the demon living under Ciel's bed.
I've made peace with the monster under my bed. They were here to hold my hand, the night you left.
Sixteen year old Ciel Phantomhive is a strange, sickly boy. On top of having an asthmatic body that easily gets sick, his mind is inhibited by his severe Peter Pan syndrome. Because of his mental regression, his parents don't believe him when he informs them of the monster under his bed.
Peter Pan Syndrome describes one's inability to believe they are of an older age and/or to engage in behaviour usually associated with adulthood.
