So, I was up late. And I came up with this (like, literally, just now). Tell me what you think.


I was already up early, as I always was. There were just minutes left until I had to wake up my master. Oh, what a dreadful time that would be. Dressing, and re-dressing, and disciplining the boy. It's atrocious! And he always complains about how emotionless I am. Believe me, if I allowed a single drop of what humans call "emotion" to fall, the child would have been ripped to shreds faster than I could snap my fingers. And mind you, that would be very quick.

I often wonder why I even contracted with this sorry fool. His soul doesn't seem like much of a catch at all. It certainly isn't anything like that Phantomhive's soul. Which leads me to believe that I must have been really, truly bored when I did it. Aside from what many think, there isn't much to do in hell. It isn't like people visit or anything. And the immense heat and screams of agony get old after a while. I will say, the occasional brawl over a wandering soul is quite entertaining. But that is a rare sighting.

Hm… Almost time to wake… His Highness. I shivered with disgust. I had 60 seconds exactly. Just enough time to turn day into night, ivory to gold, yadda yadda yadda. Because that's what makes a Trancy butler.

Finishing the task of setting the dining room table, I begin the march to a new hell. Walking down the halls I approach my master's bedroom. Right on time. As I always am. Parting the curtains, I watch his little blonde head stir around the sheets. His cerulean eyes flutter open as the sunlight hits them.

Oh, I suppose he isn't that bad. When he's not digging random servants' eyes out. Even I thought that was a bit uncalled-for. I sighed, realizing that he was finally awake. Goodbye, for now. I mustn't be distracted while preparing His Highness for the day's schedule.


A/N: I apologize if Claude is a tad OOC. However I do plan to keep him that way, somwhat. These are his thoughts. So I thought it woule be fitting if he had a bit more personality here than he does anywhere else. REVIEW PLEASE! ~XOXO~
