Headcannon #4? Maybe? Idk

I've been thinking...

This fandom talks a lot about Ciel accidentally calling Sebastian dad, but I've never seen anyone talk about when Sebastian will inevitably slip up and refer to Ciel as his kid. So that's what I'm doing today.

Here's what I'm picturing: People have been disappearing under strange circumstances. There doesn't seem to be much of a pattern- the person's age does not seem to be a factor, nor their social status, ethnicity, ect. It seems random, and they might not be connected to each other at all, but the timing indicated that they were not isolated incidents.

Ciel and Sebastian eventually track down the culprit and it is no grim reaper, nor a demon, or a ghost. It is simply a human being. A middle-aged man who disappeared and was presumed dead some time after his wife and children were killed in a robbery.

So why, Ciel asks, had this man gone through the trouble of getting off the radar only to take all of these people from their homes, their families, their lives, and hold them here?

The man explains that the first several people he took had been associated with the robbery that lead to the deaths of his family. He had taken them and killed them shortly thereafter. But there had been other disappearances, this man had taken people who had no connections whatsoever to that robbery- why?

Well, you see, he wanted a family again. He had been alone since the death of his own family, he had been flying under the radar so that he could locate and dispose of the criminals who killed his family without interference from the police. But now... he was lonely. So he created a new family. He had been watching these people, and they all seemed unhappy with their day to day lives in some way or another, so he brought them here, where they could all be together.

Ciel and Sebastian are already disgusted, not to mention unnerved, by just how unhinged this man had become. But then he said something really interesting...

"I've been watching you too, you know. Since you began looking into these disappearances. A part of me hoped that you would find me- after all, you remind me quite a bit of my own son. And I can't stand to see my son so unhappy in life."

The man moves to grab Ciel, and Sebastian laughs. It's a rather cold, threatening kind of laugh; one that doesn't imply any real humor so much as a dark kind of amusement as one watches their prey attempt to escape. Just as the man grabs Ciel by the arm and attempts to drag him away, Sebastian laughs as he calmly steps between Ciel and this man who had clearly lost his mind.

"I was going to be kind and grant you the mercy of a quick death," Sebastian commented as he shoved the man back, forcing him to let go of Ciel as he tried to regain his balance. "But that was before you laid your filthy hands on my child."

Sebastian turned around, just for a moment, offering that pleasant smile to Ciel as he said, "Please do close your eyes, young master. You needn't witness such a violent display." as if he were completely unaware of what he had said just seconds ago.

Nonetheless, Ciel did as Sebastian asked and kept his eyes tightly shut until some time later when Sebastian declared the coast to be clear. When Ciel opened his eyes, the man was gone- as was any evidence that he had been brutally killed in this very spot not five minutes ago -and Sebastian stood there as if nothing had happened at all.

"We should fetch the others, my lord. I'm sure they are anxiously awaiting the arrival of those who will return them to their homes."

And so they located the victims- those who were still alive, that is. Those who were part of the 'family'. And they returned to civilization victorious, having found those who were missing, and returned them safely to their loved ones.

It all worked out rather well in the end- there had been nothing they could do about the victims that had been involved in the robbery, those who had already been killed when Ciel and Sebastian found the others, but the other victims lived, they could return to their normal lives, and if anyone asked, the culprit had been insane and was killed as an act of self-defense, which wasn't entirely untrue. That left only one question to plague Ciel's mind...

"Did you call me your child?"

Sebastian stopped what he was doing and froze only for a few seconds before turning to Ciel, trying to keep his expression neutral.

"Pardon?"

"After than lunatic grabbed me, just before you told me to close my eyes while you disposed of him, I heard you call me your child." Ciel stated.

"Ah. So I did." Sebastian acknowledged, knowing that he couldn't lie. "My deepest apologies, my lord, it won't happen again."

"Why?" Ciel pressed. "Why would you call me that?"

Sebastian let out a sigh. Damn this child's stubborn nature.

"For better or worse, you have been under my care for these past three years, and I suppose one could say that in that time, I have grown somewhat fond of you." Sebastian admitted reluctantly. "Call it a simple slip of the tongue."

Ciel wants to push and to ask more questions and, if he's being honest with himself, he wants Sebastian to plainly say that he cares about him. But he's not going to do that, because Ciel doesn't want to show that kind of emotion and weakness. So Sebastian called Ciel his child, Ciel asked about it exactly once, and then it was never mentioned again.

Anyway, yeah, that's it, that's the post, love you, ravens <3

Love, after all, is a wonderful thing.

Skk at 17 is so funny cause imagine you’re in the port mafia, about to go on a serious and dangerous mission, and your executives are two insane hormonal teenagers. Yeah one of them can make black holes and the other can inflict terrifying psychological damage on people but then Chuuya is giving a big scary speech and his voice cracks and Dazai fucking loses it.

NOOOOOOOOOO I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A FIC

What am I supposed to do now??

Poor Sebastian

Ciel: How could you, Sebastian?! How dare you! What you have done is unbelievably cruel! I will never forgive you for what you’ve let happen to me! You were supposed to be my protector! I can feel myself fading… It won’t be long now. Tell Finny that he was my favorite. This is it. This is where I met my end. Goodbye, cruel world.

Sebastian: My lord, please, it’s just a paper cut.

Ciel: Shut up, Sebastian. You have no idea how much pain I’m in.

Sebastian:… I’m not your favorite? :(

Ciel: Not after this disgrace.

Ciel: I don’t know why everyone acts like I’m the one who needs Sebastian. I am perfectly capable of doing anything and everything without my butler. If anything, he’s the one who needs me. He would be completely lost without me.

Sebastian: Is that so? Well, I suppose the young master can dress himself, read his own bedtimes stories, and bake his own sweets.

Ciel: Just because I could, doesn't mean I should have to. Stop trying to get out of your job, Sebastian.

Sebastian: Of course, my lord. I don't doubt you for a second.

sobbing crying and throwing up as I open yet another untitled document

I’m just saying, right about now would be a good time for Verlaine to step in
