Chapter 3
What he wants
People of all kinds bustled by Ciel. Some with light skin, others darker; some tall, others short; male and female. How unusual it was for him to not take note of this. After all he was a connoisseurship in people watching. However something else was occupying his mind that left no room to register the chaos around him, try as it might to drag its way in.
All of last night and today was spent fretting over Sebastian's sudden appearance. What could he possibly want after going through all that trouble of abandoning Ciel? He should have just stayed away, that is what Sebastian wanted after all, right? To be alone... free of the burden of the boy.
With a quick flick of his head Ciel attempted to clear the thoughts away. Seeing his butler had reawakened painful emotions he had fooled himself into believing he was rid of. One glance at those crimson eyes had his insides twisting into painful knots. Then that voice... He kept hearing that vexatious tone replaying in his head. Ciel... Ciel... Ciel... Ciel... Never had he heard the demon utter his name before. It was strangely... welcome, at least compared to being called 'My Lord.' He was no lord, not anymore. That was of a time long past.
Ciel took a sip of his tea, that he had to get from a different lesser quality cafe thanks to that insolent demon, and made his way to the sure to be empty park. It was fair in size, but even in the day time it rarely had any occupants, and as it was nearing dusk it was more than likely to be abandoned. Ciel had believed it to be the ideal location for him to meet with Sebastian. Far better than his apartment in a building full of people, or the cafe. Who knew how the whole ordeal would blow over and Ciel could do without a human audience. Not that he had told Sebastian that they were meeting here, but Ciel knew the older demon would seek him out again; sooner or later.
Throwing his empty foam cup into a trash can he entered the park and sought out a bench to wait.
Sebastian stood, cascaded in the shadows, yet so manifestly in sight. How foolish mortals were to just walk by without even a mere glance his way. After all he stood right by them as they passed. Watching, or more often glaring, at the inferior species and mulling over their idiocy and ignorance, because hell knew that was better than what he should be thinking about. With a sigh he realized that human philistinism wasn't really all that interesting, nor had it ever been. But when he was originally looking for a preoccupation it had sure seemed like it.
The initial adrenaline from seeing his once master again had by far worn off and he was once again left with that, awful, horrid, wretched, feeling; along with it an anxiety of sorts towards what he was going to have to say to Ciel.
What was he going to say to Ciel? 'Hello there, sorry I abandoned you, but would you mind helping me?' Without a doubt that would earn him a slap across the face and another century of searching for his former master. Maybe something like... 'Good evening, My Lord. Would you care for some tea?' Hahaha! Yeah right... Perhaps if he tried to think more from Ciels view of things... 'I am Ciel Phantomhive, on my tenth birthday my parents were killed and I was kidnapped into a cult. I traded my soul to a demon to attain revenge on those who ruined my family name. Only to be turned into a demon myself three years later. After which the demon left me alone, now centuries later he's back. What could he possibly want?' Want... Sebastian wanted... wanted... wanted what?
Thinking about it now, he had never really thought that far ahead. He had kind of just sought Ciel out blindly without knowing why. Did he think that just seeing Ciel would make this feeling go away? Truth was, yes he had. What a fool Sebastian had been, and now he was paying the price. He had never actually wanted anything from Ciel, except that oh so precious soul... he got shivers just thinking about it. Oh how delectable it was, drenched in sin yet so, so, pure... but that was besides the point.
Without his soul what else did Ciel have to offer? Could Sebastian have over looked something while Ciel was still human? Could that precious soul really have distracted him that much? Or was this internal battle just a waste of time? Sebastian sighed. Too many questions, not enough answers. If only he could figure out what this horrid emotion was.
Oh how the mighty have fallen. Sebastian was unsure of even himself now. That feeling had taken control of him, made him bow to its whim like a puppet. No, not like a puppet. More like a cobra and its charmer. He was writhing to whatever tune the piper played. This wasn't a game of chess anymore, nor was he a pawn. It was just a piper, a hollow tune, and a sorrowed snake named Sebastian.
Hey guys hoped you liked it ^.^ Again sorry it took so long. I just had difficulties figuring out how I wanted the plot to go. The next chapter shouldn't take so long. I have some of it written and I have a sense of where I want it to go. Unlike when I started this one. PLEASE REVIEW
