The Rock Star-His Secret
Chapter 10
-Final-

XXX
It was a cold and rainy day. Paparazzi were surrounding the cemetery because it was Sebastian's
funeral today.
The members of the band made sure Sebastian had a decent funeral just far from the reporter's
eyes. Sebastian's closest people and musician colleagues were present.
The priest was currently reciting some prayers. There was a dull silence, their eyes were focused on
Sebastian's black coffin. The coffin was covered with white roses and raindrops since it had been
raining a lot.
Tanaka was holding a black umbrella for Ciel.
Ciel had been devastated these days, He wouldn't want to speak with anyone, he would just sit in
his room alone and, eventually, he would come out to eat something. He was as good as a dead
person.
The boy wasn't looking at the coffin; he was just staring at the ground and listening to the priest's
words.
Four men began to lower Sebastian's coffin into the grave six feet under.
"We therefore commit his body to the ground... Earth to earth..."
Sebastian's coffin reached the ground and the men grabbed their shovels and began throwing dust
on Sebastian's coffin.
"Ashes to ashes..."
Ciel closed his eyes as Sebastian's coffin was being buried.
"Dust to dust... in the sure and certain hope of the Resurrection to eternal life..."
Some people left as the four men continued to bury the coffin.
Undertaker looked sadly at the grave and spoke softly to Tanaka. "Mr. Tanaka, thank you for
helping us with the funeral, but we have to get going, we have an interview to get into a new band,
we won't lose contact with you."
"Of course, my condolences once again." Replied the old man.
"And, take care of Ciel; he will need all the support he can get..."
Tanaka looked at Ciel sadly.
Ciel was standing in front of Sebastian's grave with a single red rose in his hand.
He looked at the tombstone and read "Sebastian Michaelis" over and over again. He knew his lover
was going to die but he never imagined it would actually happen this soon, he didn't imagine he
would feel so sad, so depressed... And so lonely...
Ciel placed his red rose in the middle of the white ones and with a final glance he walked away in
fake resignation.

Ciel and Tanaka arrived home.
"Ciel dear, I am going to bake something sweet, would you like to eat something sweet?"
Ciel nodded sadly.
"Anything special you would like?" Tanaka asked.
Ciel shook his head and went upstairs to his room.
Tanaka sighed sadly and went to the kitchen.
Just as Tanaka was about to cook, someone rang the doorbell.
Tanaka opened the door and was surprised to see it was Sebastian's vocalist, Grell.
"Hello, Mr. Tanaka, I am here to see Ciel."
Tanaka called for his grandson and guided Grell to the living room. Then the old man went back to
the kitchen.
Ciel came downstairs and sat on the couch on the opposite side to the red haired.
They both stared at each other for a couple minutes.
Grell was the first one to break the silence.
"Listen, I never really liked you, I actually hated you because you were just a spoiled and full of
himself brat, I never once understood why Sebastian fell in love with YOU, but... you took care of
him very well, you were always there for him and you were the only person on this planet who
could ever melt his heart. Sebastian died peacefully, and for that I want to thank you because the
last months in which he struggled a lot with his illness, you fought together with him, you stood by
his side and you made him happy."
Grell took a couple things out of his pocket, a medallion and a tape recorder. He placed them onto
the table.
"I can't stay long but I want to tell you this, I've found this medallion into Sebastian's things and
figured out it was a present from you and I thought you might want it back... As for the tape,
Sebastian made me promise that after he died, you would get to listen to it."
The blue eyed boy looked at the two objects and then back at Grell.
Grell sighed. "Well, I have to go, maybe someday we will meet again, goodbye Ciel, and good
luck..."
With that Grell went to the hallway and exited the house.
Ciel heard a car driving off and focused his attention on the two objects again.
He looked to see if Tanaka was in the hallway but there was no sign of him. He slowly reached for
the tape recorder.
He studied it a little and then decided to listen to the tape. He pressed the play button...
"Hello, Ciel...."
Ciel's heart jumped in his chest as he heard Sebastian's voice on the record.
Sebastian chuckled.
"I bet I scared you, didn't I? Sorry about that, Ciel, I know what you are going through now and I
know that it's because of me, but please Ciel, I want you to stay strong, I want you to get over this.
Remember when I was at the hospital and you told me that I shouldn't give up on living and to try
to move on and fight against my cancer? Well this is what I am telling you now... I want you to live
your life happily, I know that you love me and I know that you miss me, but I will always be there
for you, my love..."
Tears left Ciel's eyes as he continued to listen to Sebastian's voice.
"You were the best thing that ever happened to me, you were the only one I truly loved and I want
to thank you for everything you did for me. I had the time of my life during these last months and
that was because of you Ciel... although you can't see me, I will always watch over you and I will
always be there for you, just like you did for me; when you feel lonely I want you to listen to my
song, the key is not to live forever Ciel, but to create something that will last forever. If you want to
find me you just have to do one thing..."
"W-w-what do I have to do?" Asked Ciel between soft sobs.
"Just believe. Believe in my song and believe in me Ciel... I will always love you, and I am not that far
away from you; when you gave me that medallion with those engravings, when you were away, I
always thought of the words written on it..."
Ciel took the medallion and looked at the engravings on the back of it.
"Say it with me..."
Ciel slowly smiled as he whispered at the same time with Sebastian.
"I never knew about happiness;
I didn't think dreams came true;
I couldn't believe in love,
Until I finally met you..."
