Thanks for your reviews in the previous chapter :) I didn't have time to check this one for typos, but it's nice.

Chapter 2

"Oh, okay," he mumbled and stood straight. "I'll be in the room next door. If you need anything, just call me, okay?" He looked down and made his way to the door.

"Okay.. Thank you so much.." He uttered quietly, bringing his legs up to his chest and staying quiet.

"You don't have to thank me." Sebastian took the chance to caress Ciel's cheek again before he left the room. He wasn't sure how he could handle the boy, but he wanted their relationship to develop into something more. Sighing, he went next door to the bedroom, his office.

He brought his legs up to his chest and sighed. Everything had progressed so quickly.. But he was enjoying it. The bed was overly large, making the boy shiver and curl up further towards the edge. If truth be known.. He didn't want the man to leave.. I already missed his calming company. He was now all alone in the big dark room.

Sebastian tapped his finger on the table. What if Ciel needed something but wouldn't say anything? The paperwork in front of him seemed so irrelevant when the boy was right in the room next to this one. He stood and paced over to the bedroom. He stopped in front of the door. What if Ciel was already asleep? Taking a deep breath, Sebastian knocked on the door twice and opened it slowly.

Almost instantly he sat up, resting both his hands on the mattress. The over seized silk shirt sliding down his arm. "Sebastian..?" He called, unable to make out who, or what the figure was. He became stiff with fright, who was it..?! What if it was a robber.. Or-.. Quickly the boy shrieked the other mans name again. "Sebastian!"

"Hey, it's me," Sebastian tried to sooth the boy. He turned on the lights and went over to the bed. "You seem really shaken up. Are you alright?" He sat on the edge of the bed. Sebastian was glad that Ciel called him as if he depended on him, but he didn't want to see the boy this frightened.

He sighed in relief and rested his head on his knees. "I'm sorry.." He did seem rather shaken up, he didn't really know why. Maybe it was the spacious dark room. Or the lonely large bed, or perhaps it was the house? He slowly put his legs down, pulling the shirt over his shoulder. "I'm fine..."

Sebastian gazed at Ciel's shoulder once he knew that the boy was all right. "Uh... Do you need anything? If you're having trouble sleeping, I can help you however you want me to."

He watched the man contently, shifting slightly in the bed. "Well.. Uh.." He paused, thinking it through. Sebastian wouldn't want to get close yet, would he..? The boy didn't know.. He sighed and let it go. "I'm.. Fine.. Really.."

He looked at Ciel in concern. "Are you sure? You sound as if you're hiding something," he said quietly. Sebastian sighed and ruffled the back of his head. "I know that we started talking with each other just a few hours ago, but you can tell me anything. I have a feeling that we're going to be together for quite a while, you know?"

His cheeks quickly darkened a scolding pink. He stared at the, what seemed like, bashful mans confession. "I don't.. Want to sleep alone.." He murmured, trying to sound strong and confident, though it came out as a feeble whisper.

Sebastian widened his eyes somewhat. "I can... keep you company until you fall asleep. If you want, obviously." He chuckled slightly. Ciel looked so adorable when he said that. He would hug the boy, but he didn't want to scare him away or make him feel uncomfortable.

He stayed quiet and looked away, could it get any more awkward..? "Maybe.. I can sit with you as you work..?" He questioned rather hopefully. He wasn't tired.. And he didn't want to be alone, it sounded perfect.

"But, don't you want to rest?" he asked, raising a brow, and looked down. "My work would be really boring for you and the office is cold. Well, I could always get you a blanket." He turned his eyes up to Ciel. "Sorry, I was thinking out loud." He smiled tightly. "Okay, come with me, then." He crouched and reached under the bed. "Here is a pair of home shoes. They're certainly big on you, but it's just so you don't get cold."

He slowly slid out of the bed and slipped his feet into the home shoes. He smiled slightly and took a few steps forward. "I'll sit nice and close, it'll keep me warm.." He murmured, chuckling slightly.

Sebastian nodded, smiling widely, and held Ciel's hand. "Come on." He led the boy to the closet, took a blanket from the bottom drawer, and guided him to the office. "Just tell me if you get bored, okay?" He walked into his office and motioned Ciel to a chair close to the desk. "You can sit wherever you want as long as you're comfortable."

He nodded and seated himself on the seat, wrapping the blanket around himself. He sighed and nuzzled into the silky fabric. "I'll be fine.." He murmured quietly, studying the mans every movement.

"Okay." Sebastian felt somehow awkward. Ciel was right there, but he couldn't simply touch him. He took a quiet deep breath and sat behind his desk. "It's going to be really quiet in here, so I'm sure that you'll get bothered to no end." He took his black pen and continued to sign a few papers.

He watched quietly, tightening the blanket around him. It was somewhat peaceful... He was pondering on what the man had said; 'sit where ever you want.' He smirked slightly. Maybe when he got bored, he could go sit on the mans lap..? A small giggle escaped his lips as he thought about it.

He looked over at Ciel giggling and tilted his head. "What's so funny?" He raised a brow. "Are you thinking of something you shouldn't?" he teased and approached Ciel. "What went through your mind just now, Ciel?" He looked down at him, the makeshift cocoon making the boy look even more cute.

"Nothing that should concern you.. .." He teased back, still laughing a little at the thought. "Maybe you'll find out~ Maybe you won't." He smirked slightly and bit his bottom lip.

"Hmm..." Sebastian looked into those blue eyes for a few moments. "I want to find out." He leaned down, closing the distance between them. "I know you want to tell me." He rested the tip of his finger under Ciel's chin and moved it up.

He gulped but managed to stay confident and cocky. "You'll have to make me." He murmured slyly, smirking at that towering man. "Or are you afraid to...?"

He gulped, gazing at down at Ciel. He had such inappropriate thoughts in his mind that he had to look away from the boy. "Come on, tell me, Ciel," he teased again and tickled Ciel's side. He didn't know if the boy was ticklish, though, but he couldn't find any other innocent way to make him talk.

He raised his eyebrows at the attempt to make him laugh. "Tch.. Bad luck..." He muttered, sighing and pouting. "Guess you'll never know, Mister Michealis.."

Thanks for reading and please leave a review!
