"Young Master, are you certain that I cannot persuade you to return to your bed?" Sebastian asked looking at the boy with concern.
"Quite sure yes. There's far too much to do." Ciel leaned back in his chair, placing a hand gently on his stomach. The butler sighed.
"It would be advisable to-"Ciel held up a hand to silence him.
"That's enough. It's just a little discomfort, that's all. We'll continue our day as the schedule says." The boy said stubbornly.
"Yes Young Master, as you wish." The demon bowed his head and returned to his work.
A long silence filled the room as Ciel began the paper work that needed to be done for that afternoon's meeting. As he continued writing, he found the discomfort becoming worse, he pressed his hand onto his abdomen and gasped.
"Sebastian?"
"Yes young Master?" The demon was instantly at his side.
"Clear the schedule for today." a hint of pain could be detected in his voice, though he did his best not to show the full extent of the pain.
"Would you like me to return you to your bed first?" The boy merely nodded. Sebastian picked him up from the chair and gently carried him off to his room and prepared him for bed.
"Shall I call for the doctor?" He asked covering Ciel with the blanket and watching as the Earl settled himself in bed.
"Not just yet. It's nothing to be concerned about, I've had stomachaches before, you know that" The butler sighed and removed a glove from his hand which he then placed on the boy's head.
"Slightly warm. I shall have to keep watch on that. Though I can't say that I would put off the doctor."
"I'm fine. Probably just that stomach thing going around. It'll pass by morning."
"Let's hope so, in the meantime, would you like anything?" Ciel shook his head.
"Perhaps later. Right now, I would just like to lie quietly."
"Of course My Lord, should you need anything, you only need to ring." Ciel nodded and dismissed him.
Sebastian stood outside the bedroom, he somehow doubted it was the stomach flu. Briefly he contemplated calling the doctor anyway, after all, any health problems should be looked after, even if it meant disobeying the master.
It was his job as butler to tend to him as best he could.
