Final Chapter~Yeah, We'll Be Counting Stars...

Sebastian laid in bed, scrolling through the past texts in his phone. He then noticed the conversation that he had with Ciel. He went in and saw the texts they've sent each other from the first couple of days they've met until the day before the huge argument broke up. A small frown made its way to Sebastian's lips as he read some of Ciel's texts.

Hey there, hot stuff. ;)

Wat?! No way!

I guess so...[icon:blush]

Hey, you wanna come over sometime? Alois won't be home by one in the morning, so...

A trip to Forks? Sweet!

You really want me to say that? Okay...

He then noticed an audio recording that Ciel had sent him. Curious, he pressed the play button and listened to the sound of the boy's melodic voice fill his ears.

"I~love~you~! Oh god...that sounds so weird..." a nervous laugh was followed soon after. "Hey! Remember that this is as friends!" the audio recording ended soon after, making Sebastian sigh.

He played it again and again, trying his hardest to keep Ciel's voice stuck in his head like a broken record.

"I can't believe I lost him..." Sebastian rolled over on his side and he sighed. "Maybe I shouldn't have told him. If I didn't, then things wouldn't be this way." he murmured.

He sat up in bed as the door to his bedroom opened.

"Sebastian?" a voice called out.

"Yeah, Beast?" Sebastian answered, turning to look at Beast, his little sister.

"Can you go to the grocery store and get some groceries? We're running out again." Beast said.

"You mean Quik Mart?" Sebastian corrected.

"Yeah, Quik Mart. Whatever! Undertaker let me come stay with you a few weeks ago, so don't blame me!" Beast whined.

"Okay, okay." Sebastian replied.

She walked over to him and she handed him a pad that had items listed on it in a neat fashion.

"Here's the list." she stated.

Sebastian looked at her and he noticed how dressed up she looked in a peacoat, a dressy red shirt, a black miniskirt, and sand-colored funnry boots with dark chocolate brown laces and pom poms.

"And why are you dressed up like this, young missy?" Sebastian asked sternly, narrowing his eyes at her.

"I'm going on a date!" she whined.

"A date?!" Sebastian stood up from the bed suddenly, his eyes widening. "Since when?!" he nearly exclaimed.

"Bard asked me out! Also, haven't you forgotten? Tomorrow's Valentine's Day! He said he'd be busy all tomorrow night, so he's taking me out now!" she exclaimed.

He watched Beast, a sad look coming back to his face. He slowly glanced down at the text that he had saved and read it.

What do you think it could be? ;)

He heard Beast huff out a sigh.

"It's about the boy again, isn't it?" she guessed.

"N-No..." Sebastian stammered out as he quickly turned his off.

"Screw that shit." she wrenched the phone from Sebastian's grasp. "Let me see this." she said as she quickly typed in his pass code, looking at the text on the screen. She breathed out a sigh.

"It is him..." she looked at him as she grabbed him by the arm and she dragged him over to the bedroom door. "You need to cool your mind! Go out, get the groceries, and take a goddamn breather!" she shouted before letting go of him and marching off.

Sebastian sighed deeply as he looked down at his phone.

"Beast, you have no idea how hard it is for me to let go..."

Sebastian trudged down the sidewalk with the bags of groceries in his hands.

"This is seriously too much...If only I had bought a car rather than a motorcycle..." he thought to himself.

He turned the corner and he noticed something.

"This street seems familiar..." he then heard music coming from somewhere down the street. "Huh? Is someone holding a Valentine's party?" he asked himself.

He walked over to the source of the music and he looked in to see a bar.

"Of course it's a bar..." he muttered.

However, it wasn't just any bar. Sebastian knew that much.

He looked up and read the sign that said The Sexy Drunkard.

"I knew it..." he muttered as he heard the DJ inside begin to speak.

"Alrighty! We're now getting into the vibe of our early Valentine's Day special!" the DJ hollered.

Everyone cheered and heckled while Sebastian watched, nostalgia washing over him.

"I remember when I came here for Valentine's Day last year...Ciel was singing Clarity then." Sebastian frowned. "I should stop dwelling in the past. I should leave before I decide to go in." he thought to himself before beginning to walk off.

As he did, he heard the DJ holler again.

"Now, let's bring Ciel up!" Sebastian stopped in his tracks. He slowly turned as he watched Ciel walk up onto the stage wearing a baggy black shirt, a sand colored jacket over it, skinny jeans, and brown boots. He also had a black and white houndstooth pattern scarf wrapped around his neck.

"Hello." he said into the mic, earning a few heckles. "So, I've heard from Alois during my long absence that you've wanted to see what I look like without all the dresses and makeup. Au naturel, to be exact. So, this is me." he said as he did an awkward spin, making the boys holler.

"So, I know I've been gone for exactly two months now and I apologize. Something happened on my birthday and it just got to me. So, Madam let me take a long break from work to cool myself down. But, here I am. Tonight, as it is Valentine's Day, I'll sing a song that is very dear to my heart. It may not be as romantic as you think it'd be, but...that's how I met the person of my dreams. They introduced me to this song and I've loved it ever since." Ciel began.

Everyone went 'ooooh' while Sebastian's eyes widened.

"He found someone new...Well, it makes sense. He was upset with me, anyway." he thought to himself.

"I'll begin singing it, then." Ciel said.

Sebastian sighed softly.

"I should just go..." he murmured under his breath.

He was ready to try and leave again, but the first few lines of the song caught him, keeping him rooted to the spot.

"Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep, dreaming about the things that we could be...But, baby, I've been, I've been praying hard, said no more counting dollars, we'll be counting stars...Yeah, we'll be counting stars..." Ciel began to sing in that soft voice that he had heard five years ago (yes, the year is 2020).

Sebastian looked at Ciel, his eyes wide in shock.

"Counting Stars...Was he talking about me?" he asked himself, obviously surprised by this turn of events.

"I see this life like a swinging vine, swing my heart across the line. In my face's flashing signs. Seek it out and ye shall find the old! But I'm not that old. Young! But I'm not that bold. And I don't think the world is sold. I'm just doing what we're told." he began to sway his hips to the beat. "And I, feel something so right doing the wrong thing. And I, feel something so wrong doing the right thing."

"I could lie, could lie, could lie. Everything that kills me makes me feel alive." he then launched into the chorus. "Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep...Dreaming about the things that we could be...But, baby, I've been, I've been praying hard...said no more counting dollars, we'll be counting stars." he spun around as everyone began to dance a little to Ciel's singing. "Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep...Dreaming about the things that we could be...But, baby, I've been, I've been praying hard...said no more counting dollars, we'll be, we'll be counting stars."

Everyone applauded as Ciel continued singing.

"I feel the love and I feel it burn, down this river, every turn. Hope is a four letter word. Make that money, watch it burn." Sebastian looked at Ciel and he noticed how there was this small shimmer in his eye. "Old! But I'm not that old. Young! But I'm not that bold. And I don't think the world is sold. I'm just doing what we're told. And I, feel something so wrong doing the right thing."

"I could lie, could lie, could lie. Everything that drowns me makes me wanna fly. Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep...Dreaming about the things that we could be...But, baby, I've been, I've been praying hard...said no more counting dollars, we'll be counting stars."

"Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep...Dreaming about the things that we could be...But, baby, I've been, I've been praying hard...said no more counting dollars, we'll be, we'll be counting stars."

Ciel began to clap his hands and almost instantly, the crowd followed soon after.

"Take that money and watch it burn, sink in the river the lessons I learned." they clapped in time with Ciel's claps as he danced a little on stage. "Take that money and watch it burn, sink in the river the lessons I learned. Take that money and watch it burn, sink in the river the lessons I learned. Take that money and watch it burn, sink in the river the lessons I learned."

He spun as the lights turned back and a white spotlight shone down on him.

"Everything that kills me...makes me feel alive." he looked at the crowd and continued to sing. "Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep...Dreaming about the things that we could be...But, baby, I've been, I've been praying hard...said no more counting dollars, we'll be counting stars."

The crowd went wild as Ciel sang the next line.

"Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep...Dreaming about the things that we could be...But, baby, I've been, I've been praying hard...said no more counting dollars, we'll be, we'll be counting stars." he sang out.

The whole crowd began dancing and clapping to the beat as they began to chant.

"Take that money and watch it burn, sink in the river the lessons I learned!" Ciel joined in with them soon after. "Take that money and watch it burn, sink in the river the lessons I learned, take that money and watch it burn, sink in the river the lessons I learned, take that money and watch it burn, sink in the river the lessons I learned!" the song ended and the bar went into an uproar of cheers, heckles, and wolf whistles.

Sebastian couldn't help but clap. The performance (like always) was simply phenomonal.

He then looked and saw that Ciel's eye had locked on his. The azure orb widened as Sebastian's vermillion eyes widened, as well.

"Shoot! I was seen!" he thought to himself.

He quickly turned and began to walk off, hoping that the bluenette didn't run after him.

Ciel raced off the stage at the speed of light. He didn't know what had happened, but when his eye locked on Sebastian, he knew he had to do something about it.

"Ciel! You have another performance in- - -" Wendy was cut off by Ciel.

"Cancel it! I have to go do something!" Ciel tossed the mic into Wendy's arms, startling her.

"Wha...Ciel!" she shouted.

But, Ciel was already gone.

Wendy couldn't help but breath out a sigh.

"Just where in the world is he going...?" she asked herself.

Ciel pushed through the crowd, saying "excuse me" every once in a while. He finally got out of the crowd and stumbled out of the bar. He panted, whipping his head left and right in search of Sebastian.

"Where is he?! I need to talk to him. I want to clear things up!" he rose his head and looked to his right to see a figure heading down the sidewalk. He remembered seeing him with shopping bags, so he knew that it was him.

He turned and let out a loud shout.

"SEBASTIAN!"

He watched as the man stopped in his felt himself begin to move and he ran down the street towards him. Sebastian turned as Ciel ran into the arms that Sebastian didn't know he had opened out. The man didn't wrap his arms around the boy due to his shock of the boy actually coming after him.

"I finally...got you..." Ciel panted out, his head resting on Sebastian's chest.

Sebastian watched Ciel, obviously surprised.

"Ciel...why did you come for me?" he asked.

Ciel trained his eye on the ground, his cheeks a bright red. That familiar feeling was rising up in him again. That feeling of love.

"I can;t keep it in anymore...I have to tell him how I feel!" he told himself.

"I love you..." he whispered out.

"What?" Sebastian questioned.

"I love you! Goddammit, Sebastian!" Ciel shot his head up to look up at him. "I love you..." he trailed off, his eye beginning to gloss over with tears.

Sebastian looked at him as snow began to slowly fall. He never knew he would see this day coming.

"You...do?" he asked.

"Yes, I do..." Ciel's hands gripped onto the shirt that Sebastian wore. "I love you to death." he confessed.

Sebastian watched as a tear rolled down the boy's porcelain cheek. His cheeks were red and his eye was glossy. Sebastian missed seeing that cute, cherub face. He truly loved the boy.

He cupped the boy's cheeks and he leaned in towards Ciel, pressing a kiss to the sweet cherry red lips. Ciel's eye widened, another tear falling down as they heard the clock toll.

"I love you, too." Sebastian said.

They pulled away from the kiss and Ciel looked in the direction of the clock tower.

"It's midnight..." Ciel trailed off.

"I know." Sebastian held Ciel in his arms. "Happy Valentine's Day." he whispered before kissing him again.

Ciel smiled into the kiss as he kissed back.

He truly did love the man.
