Dark shadows were looming over him. One of them held a knife high over his head, the blade glinting in the non-existent light. The knife was plunged through his pale and dirty skin, pouring blood across the stone slab. He felt faint… Sebastian!
Sebastian! Se..bas..tian! Se…bas…..tian… …
…bas..tian…
"Young master!" Sebastian shook Ciel awake, fairly worried about him. He was finishing his night duties when he heard his young master screaming his name. When he had rushed to his bedroom, he found Ciel covered in sweat and tears. His sheets were quite damp and his hair stuck to his face, and he looked quite pale. "It was only a nightmare." Ciel took deep breaths, his throat hurt. "W-water.." he managed to croak. Sebastian quickly poured a glass of cold water and helped his young master drink, small water droplets dribbling down his jaw. He finished it quickly and fell against his pillows, worn out. Sebastian picked up his young master and changed his clothes, and put him into warm, dry ones. He wiped away all the sweat and tears, and tended to changing the sheets. He tucked his young master in, "I'll be right back." He murmured and dashed to the kitchen, preparing a warm cup of milk with honey. When he returned, Ciel had calmed down. He sat up when Sebastian entered his room. He drank the milk hungrily and placed the empty cup on his bedside table. Sebastian turned to leave when he heard a soft, scared voice behind him. "Sebastian?" "Yes, bocchan?" he turned. "Will you…sleep with me…tonight?" he asked. Sebastian nodded. "I'll be right back." He murmured. He quickly went to his room to get changed into sleeping attire. He exchanged his butler uniform for black, silk bottoms and went to comfort his master. He quietly slipped into bed beside Ciel, and wrapped his arm around him comfortingly. Ciel turned around and hugged Sebastian, falling asleep, feeling safe and protected in the demon's arms.
The End! Hope you enjoyed it!
