This is the final chapter of this story, but don't worry, there will be more! One thing I thought of doing is a few little scenes based on Ciel's height, let me explain. As we all know, Ciel is short and adorable, and cute/funny things are bound to happen due to his height. I haven't found a fic with something like that (please let me know if you have :3) so I thought I'd do one :-D I have no idea when it will be up, though.
I hope you enjoy this chapter! I tried to make it as cute as possible. Thanks to promocat for reading this story and for all your reviews! Thanks to everyone who reviewed, followed, favourited or just read the story!
Side note: It mentions Ciel loving Sebastian in this chapter, but it's completely intended to be more of a father/son type thing than a relationship.

Ciel groaned and clutched his stomach in pain. Opening his eyes slowly, he saw that it was 12:30 at night.
He gave a small cry as a strong bout of pain shot up his stomach, tears appearing in his eyes. Why, oh why did he eat all those sweets?!
Sebastian. The butler's face as Ciel greedily and angrily ate the sweets appeared in the child's mind; he had looked shocked and disappointed. And Sebastian had been so kind to him when he was ill. Ciel felt horrible. He needed and appreciated Sebastian, although he rarely showed it, he would go as far as to say he loved him. But what if Sebastian hated him now?
Ciel couldn't take it anymore. The pain of his stomach and the pain of the thought of being left by Sebastian were too much. He slowly got out of bed, groaning as his stomach ached even more.
He made his way down the dark corridor in search of Sebastian. Where would he be? Ciel had no idea what the butler did at night.
A noise from the library caught his attention, and the earl saw a light under the door. He opened the door cautiously, blinking in the sudden light.
Sebastian was there, dusting books. He looked at Ciel in astonishment. "Young master! What are you doing? You must be freezing."
Ciel burst into tears. Sebastian knelt down in front of him and gently pulled him into a hug. "My lord, what on earth is the matter?"
Ciel cried harder, clinging onto Sebastian and snuggling into the hug. Sebastian stood up, holding Ciel; the child put one arm round Sebastian's neck and leaned his head against his chest, sobbing.
Sebastian wiped Ciel's tears away with his gloved thumb. "Shhh…stop crying…"
Ciel managed to reduce his sobs to sniffles. Sebastian cuddled him comfortingly. "Now, are you going to tell me what's the matter?" He began walking to Ciel's room.
The walking motion soothed Ciel. "I thought you might hate me…I'm sorry Sebastian!"
Sebastian smiled, not that Ciel could see. "Don't worry about that. While it was rather bad behaviour to throw a tantrum like that, I understand that it's frustrating being ill. I will never hate you."
Ciel smiled contentedly, then grimaced as his stomach reminded him of his other problem. "Tummy hurts…"
Sebastian tried to place him on the bed, but Ciel clung to the butler. Sebastian sat down on a chair near the bed and cradled Ciel in his arms. He rubbed the child's stomach with one hand, to try and ease the pain.
Ciel yawned and closed his eyes. It was comforting having Sebastian rub his stomach like that, and in Sebastian's arms he felt completely safe and at ease; nothing could possibly harm him and he knew that.
Sebastian was pleased to see the child drifting off. When he was sure Ciel was asleep, he gently placed the little earl in his bed.
"Sebastian?" whispered Ciel, startling Sebastian.
"Yes, my young lord?"
"Please stay with me…I don't want you to go."
Sebastian nodded and sat back down, watching as Ciel fell asleep.
