"Young master."

Ciel looked up from the paper he was reading.

"Yes, what is it?"

"It's already past ten p.m, sir. You should retire now."

The young earl nodded, set aside the document and stood from his desk, approaching his butler.

"Let's go."

Not longer than thirty minutes later, the little boy was already washed and being dressed in his nightshirt by Sebastian. Ciel was unusually quiet this evening.

"Young master? Is there something troubling you?"

A shake of head. "No, Sebastian, it's nothing. Remove my eye patch."

The small accessory was set on the bedside table, and the little earl tucked safely in the warm confines of his oversized bed.

Sebastian bowed to him dutifully. "Good night, young master."

"Wait."

The butler halted. "Yes master?"

"Can you...can you stay with me until I fall asleep?"

A small smile crept onto the demon's lips. "Of course."

Tiny eyelids fluttered close, but the butler didn't move.

Once Sebastian was sure that his charge was asleep, he approached him.

Looking tenderly at Ciel, he reached out his gloved hand and cupped the boy's cheek.

"You're beautiful." He whispered.

Then, a small white hand moved from under the covers and laid itself atop his hand.

"Liar."
