The night was silent and peaceful, and all the members of the Phantomhive estate were soundly asleep except for it's master, Ciel Phantomhive. He stood facing the window, his hands behind his back as he fretted about the events earlier today. The moonlight cast an eerie light on one side of his face as he sighed. He knew he should probably be asleep as he had an important guest tomorrow..No, it wasn't some rich earl or viscount...It was Elizabeth.
He realized he had been thinking alot about her after the morning's events. Elizabeth had wanted to go catch some white deer that would bring happiness to the person that found it but a slight argument between the earl and the lady had resulted in Elizabeth running away and went scouting on the deer herself. This had caused quite a big accident, due to his order and Sebastian's reckless actions. He couldn't help thinking what if he wasn't in time to save her, and Lizzy had drowned. What would he do? How would he feel? And why, was he thinking of her? The earl let out a irritated 'Arghh' and scrunched up his hair in frustration. As if right on cue, the door opened to Sebastian holding a candlestick. He stared up in amazement at the Earl and Ciel's hands flew down from his hair as he looked away in awkward silence.
"Young..master?" Sebastian was amused but did not show it.
"What are you doing at the late time of the night, Sebastian?" Ciel casted a glance at Sebastian, not removing his head from the turned away position.
"That should be my question, Young Master. Demons do not need to sleep like ordinary humans. Did you forget i was not a ordinary butler, Young Master? "
"Of course not!" Making the 'shoo, shoo' sign, "Get out"-Ciel said flatly.
"Yes, My Lord."
As the lights went out, Ciel decided that he probably should be asleep, preparing for Lizzy's outbursts and cuteness remarks... After much tossing and turning and much more thinking , the earl finally succumbed to sleep.
