"I'm cold, Sebastian." Ciel said while lying on his bed, below the mountain of blankets. He looked up at his butler expectantly with raised eyebrows.

"Young master, your fever has not subsided yet. Do you want me to light the fireplace for you, my lord?" Sebastian asked with a worried look on his face. A sickly master would disrupt his schedule and this is not a favorable thing at all. Ciel shook his head slightly at his butler who was watching him at the edge of his bed.

"Some hot milk with honey, perhaps?" Sebastian enquired. Ciel shook his head again. What a child, Sebastian thought to himself. "I'm not in the mood for one."

"A hot water bottle maybe?" Sebastian asked again. Ciel shook his head, this time his cheeks slightly flushed from all that head movement, or maybe it was the fever, or maybe both.

Sebastian sighed. "Well, what it is that you desire, my lord?"

"Think of something yourself, Sebastian." Ciel replied carelessly with half closed eyelids while facing the window, already drowsy despite his complaints of the chill.

"Be creative." The young earl said again, with a slight smirk on his face. It was one of those days where the earl feel like taunting his butler, disrupting his schedule and doing all possible things to annoy his butler.

"Very well then. I'm left with no other choices, young master." Ciel could sense a hint of mischief in the demon's voice. And with that, Sebastian blew out the flames of candles on the candelabra, shadowing the room in darkness. The butler took off his long tail coat and his waistcoat and placed them neatly on the bedside table, not forgetting to take off his shoes before climbing up the bed, laying next to his master. The child's body stiffened up at the close proximity between him and his butler. Sebastian was not going to get away from this, Ciel thought to himself while lying with his back faced to his butler.

The demon's eyes shone brightly in the now darkened room.

"What do you think you are doing, Sebastian?!" Ciel turned around and faced his butler with a glare on his face.

"I am merely following your orders, young master. With this, I can easily share my body heat and warm you up instantly. Isn't this what you wanted all this while?" Ciel was not sure what the demon meant by what he wanted all this while. Sharing a bed with him and it was Sebastian of all the demons. Not that Ciel knows any other demons like him though.

Sebastian waited for his little master to be filled with rage and trash around soon. Maybe a slap or two on his face. A kick here and there. And the demon would only enjoy the show presented to him with so much of an amusement. After all, Ciel had been tormenting him all this while, and a little revenge every now and then would be fair.

Though, wasn't getting to eat him soon is fair enough? A part of him told himself. The demon brushed that thought away. Sometimes he couldn't help but be too logical and rational.

Meanwhile, the demon showed little care about his master's well-being as no one should ever agitate the sick. The demon knew that humans are fragile and can be easily broken, and he wondered how Ciel would look like when he is.

Soon.

His eyes glowed a little bit more than usual at that thought of it.

Ciel looked at his reflection from the window. The glow of Sebastian's eyes were visible to him but it did not frighten him the least bit at all. In fact, he did not give a damn about the demon beside him.

Contrast to what the demon had thought of, Ciel did not trash around or even kick up a fuss. In fact, the young master turned around and nestled into his butler's chest. Too tired to fight and argue anymore, he fell asleep instantly beside the butler.

Brat.

The demon frowned a little while looking at Ciel as the opportunity to watch a show slipped away like a slithering snake.

Shall I cut him up a little?

Sebastian continued staring at Ciel while pondering that evil thought.

No. Too much trouble. Ciel would wake up.

The demon finally had a moment of peace after a long day and was starting to enjoy his private moments. Waking the brat up would be the least thing he desired right now. He sighed in contentment and relaxed while one hand was stroking the young one's hair. It felt soft and fluffy against his palm so he continued playing with the earl's hair. It somehow felt better than a cat's fur, he concluded to himself, and Ciel's porcelain skin is not bad too. Honestly, the boy looked angelic when he was sleeping and even innocent.

Ciel unconsciously inched closer to Sebastian, trying to feed off the body heat of the demon.

Well, a sleeping Ciel is not such a turn off after all. So very much better than the usual one.

Very well then. The demon wrapped his arms around Ciel and decided that he would play angel for the night, since Ciel look rather pleasing to the eyes at that very moment.

He closed his eyes and inhaled in the earl's scent, and thought that he rather enjoyed that moment.
