Fanfiction: "Blurred" - Sebastian/Ciel
Fandom: Kuroshitsuji (Black Butler)
Pairing: Sebastian Michaelis/ Ciel Phantomhive
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Death, Gore, Implications of sex between a minor and an adult, heavy symbolism, Anime spoilers
Summary: Ciel knows how to play Chess well. Even if he does occasionally blur the lines.
Author's Note: Just a drabble written months ago while hanging out at a friend's house.
Blurred
They were never ones to obey the rules, nor were they ones to blatantly disregard them completely.
They just simply blurred the lines so no one could see where they cross them.
The path they tread was wrought with the numerous corpses of pawns and rooks and blood stained kings. The queen herself remaining the only pure symbol in their path. However, she herself was starting to gain the tell-tale signs of contamination; the black slowly creeping into her base. The hands slowly tinging with blood. Her Knight standing proudly beside her with its false cleanliness; Its stark whiteness a masquerade hiding its true black colors. They were stubborn however, the Knight and King. Proudly flaunting their dark colors. They appreciated their colors almost relishing in the blood that tried in vain to drown them. Suffocate them.
With the sun they carry on with their lives, snacking on treats and the finest tea, repairing mistakes made by the pawns, visiting the bishops, and ruling their kingdom. With the moon, their true colors show as they use their pawns to seek out attackers and terminate them. Using the moon as their light they make it known to the Queen just who they are. The Queen smiles coyly and lets their game continue, thinking she has it won.
Unbeknownst to her watchful eye, the Black King seems to be breaking at his core, but the Black Knight calmly consoles his mind slowly one by one fixing the cracks with kind gestures and smooth gloves. Together they work together moving against one another; the lines separating the two blur making it hard to decipher where one ends and the other begins. Their dance is a sensual one. One that people may never know about. Even the Black King's servants must not find out. Time stops in these moments and the two breathe in relief catching their breath. Together they reach the heavens and come back down to the hellish void known as their game.
The White Queen and her Knight know nothing of their secret dance as it is uncouth to dance with players of unequal standing. Especially if the fellow player is of the same gender. The Black King and Knight pay this no mind and continue to blur the lines they tread until the rules are barely legible. They follow their roles true and loyally until they are once again alone, the Black King seeking refuge and solace in the Black Knight's protective, dark, and bloody embrace.
What the White Queen doesn't know is that very soon the Black King and his servants will soon win this game due to the strength that the Black Knight solely gives the Black King. Thus, erasing the lines separating their power struggle for eternity.

Symbolism:
Black
King - Ciel Phantomhive
Queen - Queen Victoria (before Ash/Angela)
Knight - Sebastian Michealis/ Phantomhive Nobility
Bishops - Lau and Undertaker - Briefly mentioned
Pawns - Grell Sutcliffe, Madame Red, Maylene, Bard, Finnie - Briefly mentioned
Rooks - Agni and Sohma - Never mentioned
White
King - London Bridge
Queen - Queen Victoria
Knights - Ash/Angela
Bishops - Royal Court Advisers
Pawns - Scotland Yard Police
Rooks - Royal Guard's Special Forces
Note: In the Victorian Era, Homosexuality was illegal between men. Not between women though because the Queen refused to acknowledge its existence.
Synopsis - Ciel is the Black King and he does his job as he is supposed to, but he seems to be breaking at the seams due to all the trauma he has seen and been dealt. So Sebastian his Black Knight is kind and offers him protection and comfort.
The Queen isn't as nice as Ciel once thought so now he is confused and once the Queen turns her fangs onto him he vows to take her down. So this explains how he will be the one to win the game.
The Pawns are his servants at his manor, and his Aunt and her Death god. I used them in these roles because Ciel himself claims they are nothing but pawns in his game. The Aunt ends up dead, but her Death God ends up helping him at times when neccessary. The servants of his manor all possess some trait that benefit his protection, so he uses them as servants during the day, but once night falls and trouble comes he uses them to their fullest extent.
Bishops are Undertaker and Lau because he runs to them for Advice and yet he uses them to his advantage.
The Rooks are Agni and Soma because they are helpful but only at foward angles. They will never attack behind someone's back. They are a honest frontal piece
