Sebastian Michaelis sighed heavily as he lowered himself down onto his bed. He had no use for sleep but at times, he did enjoy the quiet of his room.
His Young Master had been extraordinarily demanding that day.
The demon hardly had time to think between the normal chores, the servants and his Master.
He reached over and picked up the book that was lying on the table beside his bed and opened it gently revealing several photos. He ran his fingers over the face of the woman gingerly and smiled.
"I can remember that day so clearly, never had I been so contented as I was back then. The feeling I had with just the two of us, running my fingers through your long, silky hair, what I wouldn't give to-" There was a sudden knock at the door.
"What could it possibly be now?" He said out loud before standing and walking over to answer the door. He wasn't at all surprised to see Mey Rin standing before him in her night clothes and robe looking quite distraught.
"What ever is the matter Mey Rin?" He asked suddenly worried.
"It's the Young Master, I'm not sure what's happened but I think he may be ill, He's coughing and it sounds like-" Sebastian didn't need to hear anymore, he rushed toward Ciel's room and threw open the door without bothering to ask permission.
The boy was leaning against the headboard of his bed gasping for breath.
"Se-Sebastian, c-can't- I c-c"
"Easy My lord, please. Mey Rin, call for a doctor immediately." He shouted kneeling down beside the boy. Without a moment's hesitation the maid ran off down the hall.
"Slowly My lord, try to calm yourself, it will be alright, I am here now, I won't allow anything to happen to you. Try to relax, you will be able to catch your breath much easier that way." He placed his hand on the young Earl's head and began to stroke his hair gently.
"Stay awake Young Master, you mustn't sleep just yet, I need you to stay alert." The rasping and coughing worsened as the boy fought to stay awake. Sebastian felt helpless as he watched the boy struggle. His mind raced, what could he possibly do for him?
Seconds later the boy became silent.
"No, Young Master, open your eyes, please, you must stay with me. Ciel, wake up now, come now, take a breath." Sebastian said in a panic.
"Ciel, I mean it now, breathe damn it!" he shook the boy but got no response.
