A bed of red roses fresh from the garden, on top of them in his eyes laid everything he desired and more. You were his innocents in a life of nothing but it's counterpart. You adorned his white dress that was oversized for your thin body to the point it hung off your shoulder swallowing your body whole. In that moment you realised you weren't Alois's anymore nor were you Sebastian's rather you were his, Claude Faustus's. You were caught in his spider web with no escape. Claude danced around the room, until he found himself bending over the top of you staring at your contract that sat on your shoulder, it was the last thing that reminded you of Sebastian apart from your memories and as you sat there you found him staring at it with an obvious distaste.

'Claude,' you whispered tiredly,

You rubbed your eyes, removing the sleep from them, as Claude began to cradle you in his arms. You were his little doll that he could cradle and keep at bay for years on end. You were entrapped in his web. He whisked you around the room, he turned around when the door was opened by none other than Hannah. She bowed her head and the sounds of a yelling match behind her between familiar voices.

'The phantomhive servants are here to break up the engagement.'

You could see the anger on Claude's face though he didn't show it that much. He struted with you in his arms standing atop of the balcony he stared at Sebastian while you stared at one of the paintings not daring to make eye contact with him.

'Miss y/n.' Sebastian called to you yet you ignored,

'Is this what you want, you vermin?'

He held you in front of Sebastian like a toy to a cat, you met his eyes and you realised you had hurt him that he wanted you as much as you wanted him. In that moment it was like nothing surrounded you and it was only you and him. You gave him a smile until you were thrown. You were thrown into a room by Claude, you barely reached the bed of roses sending them flying as you were consumed by them. The moment you weren't completely riddled with fear from being hurt you span on your heels trying to get back into the room. Yet you had no chance when the doors were slammed shut by Hannah, you sprinted towards them though the thorns on the roses and sliced your legs and you dress. You banged on the doors trying to push them open yet they didn't budge, you tried so hard yet you were weak compared to the strengths of a demon, you stood no chance.

'Sebastian!' you screamed,

For the next ten minutes you heard nothing but chaos, you sat with your back pressed against the door crying, wailing even. You stopped when you heard someone moving towards the door. You crawled away when the door squeaked open. Sebastian stood there, it was him! His uniform was torn and his crimson eyes were shining as brightly as ever. He picked you up and the two of you just held one another dearly.

'I'm-'

'My feelings are the same as yours, my lady.'

~~~

That was the first time you felt that he loved you in return, the first time your feelings were matched in par. It had been a week since, he was still the only thing you could think of, the only thing you desire. Sebastian spent days with you lounged on top of him, his hands playing with your hair, while he held you like a fine china doll. He loved you and that was all you needed, all you wanted and more. You were his master yet you weren't anymore you were much more than that. You were his and that was all that mattered now and forever, till death do us part.
