There are some moments like these where it’s painfully apparent that Ciel is just a thirteen year old child. He has a sweet tooth, and he likes to drink his tea and milk with honey… he’s so cute that it’s painful to see.

I think Ciel’s age plays a (somewhat) big role in how his relationship with Sebastian turns out. It’s both cute and sad; he lost his family at such a young age, and most of the care he’s received—and allowed himself to receive—since then comes from the demon who is waiting patiently to eat his soul. He’s been with Sebastian since he was ten—he hasn’t even lost all his milk teeth yet back then. It’s inevitable for such a young child to be compelled to depend on his caretaker—even if Sebastian was also completely out of depth and inexperienced in taking care of a human child; he is still Ciel’s primary caretaker and the only one who knows all of Ciel’s secrets and vulnerabilities.

With Sebastian being a demon, one could expect him to try to manipulate and foster unhealthy dependence with such a young child—and honestly, I am not crossing this possibility off the book either, what’s with Ciel not even knowing how to dress himself (I’m not sure how common this is amongst 13 year old filthy rich Victorian era nobility, but the kids in Weston seem to be doing fine without a live-in butler)—logically speaking, he’s probably one of the worst choices for anyone to depend on.

And yet, I think it’s precisely because Sebastian is a demon that Ciel allows himself to depend on Sebastian; because Ciel knows exactly what Sebastian wants, and he’s already agreed to give Sebastian what he wants. Ciel has a deep distrust on human nature; humans are fickle and have no scruples about lying. Humans can change, just see how quickly Elizabeth and everyone else change their attitude on him after they figured out he wasn’t who they thought he was. Humans cannot be counted on. Sebastian, on the other hand, is bound by their contract and has laid his cards on the table. Ciel can’t *trust* him, but Ciel can count on him to remain by his side—until Ciel gives him what he wants eventually. So Ciel can “trust” him—or more like trust the contract—and depend on Sebastian to some degree.

I think with Ciel’s naturally suspicious personality, if Ciel had been a young adult or at least a few years older; he might have been more wary and distant towards Sebastian, and Sebastian too would be less required to care for his master to this degree—but Ciel just happens to be at the age where he still needs a lot of care. Due to this vulnerability, Sebastian might have started out looking down on this little crybaby master; but Ciel surprisingly shows an undeterred perseverance that Sebastian has never seen on any master before him.

The two of them; a young child who has been rendered incapable of trusting any human, and a starving demon who is left in awe by the unexpected strength of his little master; form a strange, unlikely, and unique connection.
