Hi! I've not been active for a very long time, stuff has happened but now I will hopefully be back and writing again.

It being a dark, stormy night, the young Earl was evidently disturbed from sleep; his pale body shuddered under each minor crack of thunder. Despite hiding his fear of dark nights like such from his butler for years now, Ciel didn't seem to be able to do anything other than uncharacteristically cower under the blankets.
Sebastian narrowed his eyes at the distinct scent of fear; his young master's fear. And after a few moments of hesitation, the tall male had instantaneously disappeared from one end of the large estate and simply reappeared at the opposite end to his lord's chambers.
A gentle knock made the shaking young boy aware of the older man's presence – Ciel quickly cleared his throat and sat up. "Yes?"
The demon's reply was delivered with an oddly soothing tone, "Sir, is everything alright?"
Ciel couldn't reply, throat completely dry as the intense storm shook him to the core.
A few more moments passed as rain hit the manor's window with immense force: Sebastian slowly opened the door and approached Ciel's bedside after closing it. The pair didn't exchange words in this situation, the weather accompanying Ciel's shock at the sheer unexpectedness of Sebastian's gestures.
The butler had removed his shoes and let himself on the bed, scooping up his scared master and planting a gentle kiss on his forehead.
"It'll clear in the morning, young master."
