That’s a good way to think about it, the link they have. But do you think their relationship will change a bit, because Ciel changed into a demon- which to me I would think would change some things personality and emotionally wise. So he might treat Sebastian differently. And Sebastian didn’t seem to happy to a butler  to “another fiend of hell” So the contract is iron tight, but their relationship might change?

A certain change in Ciel’s personality is unavoidable. But I do believe that even after many years his human part will still belong to him. He is a demon with a soul, therefore he might have different ways of perceiving the world rather than Sebastian. After all changes in personality don’t happen in a day or even in a year. They take quite a long time. Ciel will take his time to understand his new feelings, new possibilities, new powers. He learns quickly, but aside of learning he will have to get used to his new life. And to get used to something is still a different thing than simply learn something well.

The main thing about their relationship in overall is that their relationship is actually many-sided. They are shown as the teacher and the pupil, they are shown as the butler and the master, they are shown as two persons who compete with each other, they are shown as two friends who throw jokes at each other, they are shown as father-like and son-like figures even. They are many things. They are connected not just by contract, but by their, what’s probably fair to call, - true feelings. They somewhat depend on each other, but it’s not what many see as ‘love’. It’s not love, at least, not that kind of love.

Of course, think about it yourself, would you really like to serve someone for the whole eternity? Especially when you are a demon, a potent and willful demon? Eternity isn’t just a plain word, it’s just… It’s an unimaginable period of time. It’s forever and it’s unchangeable. Certainly, to Sebastian it seems like a damn death warrant. He probably feels himself 100% done, because he hadn’t only been through a lot with Ciel and is finally deprived of his desired dinner. Sebastian is presumptuous, he is arrogant, he likes to be arrogant, he likes to be 'the boss’ as well as Ciel does, but unlike Ciel, Sebastian is very sure that he is worthy of that. He is a demon, who lived more than hundred years, he’s seen too much, he’s too powerful to be left only as a servant for eternity. And the thing is that it’s not just Ciel who showed him that even though he’s demon - he’s not allmighty, the thing is that the fate turned to be unfair towards him. And who are demons if not the ones, who love to play with the fate?

It’s obvious why Sebastian should feel so… wretched? At this point he is really wretched, because his own contract turned into an eternal prison for him. But at the same time - is Ciel really the one to blame for that? Is this all really only Ciel’s fault? No. It’s not. Even if Ciel isn’t holy. That’s why I suppose Sebastian will have to get used to that and continue to live like this. After all, I don’t think that if he’s stuck with Ciel forever he can’t have contracts with other people or anything else. He’ll just have to count with Ciel’s opinion and Ciel’s desires. And as long as Ciel is a demon, who can perform the same tricks as Sebastian (and probably even more as I think), there comes another question: how Ciel will actually use Sebastian? Is there ar real need in having a servant? I think to Ciel it’s not a need anymore, but something what you can see as his personal privilege. It is familiar to Hanna having triplets as her servants. Basically she doesn’t really need them, but she doesn’t truly neglect them.

Sorry for the long speech, ahah. The subject is simply interesting to me.
