Like many people Kuroshitsuji has been on my mind lately
And I know that one of the big debates is whether or not Sebastian cares about Ciel
But
What I find more interesting is how much the rest of the staff cares about Sebastian.
Bard Finny and Mey Rin genuinely give a damn about him. Bard lends Sebastian his nightclothes, he taught Finny how to read, they all admire him for the way he keeps the manor under control. When they thought he was dead, they cried for him.
It's just kind of profound, even if he loves no one, even if he's not capable of that, he's still so loved by these silly humans

Me, midway through ch 206: You know, all things considered, this confrontation is going pretty well.
Me, at the end of ch 206: I DIDN’T EVEN KNOW THAT WAS A POSSIBLE SCENARIO. SAVE MY BOY.

More Black Butler/Kuroshitsuji Headcannons!!!
- William's an insomniac and perfectionist, he thinks about if his work is good enough or not whenever he can't sleep
- Grell and Ronald like to go out to parties together as friends, Othello picks them up when they can't be trusted to make it home alone, they tell him everything that happens at the parties but he's sworn to secrecy
- Grell buys herself boxes of chocolates every valentines day because nobody else will and she eats them on the couch while watching romance movies
- Ciel used to sleep in his father's shirts as a kid, but he started sleeping in Sebastian's after his father's death since he saw Sebastian's as a father figure
- Lady Sullivan really likes collecting and drying out flowers, she has an entire collection and she makes Wolfram make sure they don't get damaged
- Lizzy has sleepovers with Grell where she picks out dresses and does Grell's makeup for her. She doesn't understand, but she knows that Grell's a girl, she started using the correct pronouns after she found out
- Ran-Mao is autistic, that's why she doesn't talk much and her voice is flat whenever she does speak
- Snake makes art out of his friend's shedded skin and he became really popular for it
- Mey-Rin is one of the only people Ran-Mao will actually talk to, she understands that she has a hard time socializing and is super patient with Ran-Mao
- Finny had Ciel teach him how to be more gentle so that he could keep a pet (He has a pet bird now, it's the exact same breed as his old friend and he spends all of his free time with it)
- Ciel goes over to Undertaker's for cookies and tea whenever Sebastian doesn't want to give him sweets, he eats those cookies like he's been starved his whole life
- Bard is making Sebastian teach him how to actually cook, he uses cookbooks when Sebastian isn't available and he makes the other servants try his food when he's done to give him honest criticism
- Ronald keeps shoving William and Grell close to each other to try to get them to kiss. It worked one time and William's been a little less cold to Grell ever since
- Grell brings homemade coffee and breakfast to her friends in the office, she saves extras for William, he secretly really likes the stuff Grell makes for him
- Ciel leaves little gifts for his servants throughout the manor, he's too prideful to directly give them

Tbh I know people find it funny that Ciel just walked around without shoes in that chapter in Emerald Witch because both Finny and Sebastian were carrying other people and talk about how the others probably offered but like.
Think about it.
I can't imagine Ciel willingly letting anyone but Sebastian carry him pre-Emerald Witch. I don't even think that he used to let Sebastian carry him, at least not without some fighting. He doesn't trust it.
So can you imagine how honored Finny would be when he realizes that now, Ciel is letting Finny carry him too? Something that previously only Sebastian was allowed to do?
Especially since I feel like the servants are, on some level, aware that Ciel and Sebastian are equals in a way. They know that Sebastian isn't a servant to Ciel, not like they are. There's something special about him. So the fact that he was the only one allowed to carry Ciel would be something that fell under that - Sebastian is separate from them to Ciel, and that's why he's the only one allowed.
So Finny would be overjoyed to realize that now, on some level, Ciel considers him more than just a servant as well.
