Get Up
"Ciel!" I stood in the doorway of the Earl's bedroom. He had a lavish mansion, much more furnished than my own back at home. You see, my home was decorated with statues and gold, while Ciel's is decorated with night tables and couches.
"Ciel!"
"Mmm?"
"Ciel, get up and take me to see the circus that is in town. Back at home we have no circuses!"
"Go away." It was more of a sleepy mutter than a demand, so I allowed myself to walk into the room where he slept.
"Ciel, get up." I stood by the boy's bed now. The smell of Agni's cooking made my tummy rumble, and it mixed with the scent of the tea Sebastian had left for my host. "Cielllll."
"Go away." The boy muttered again, rolling from his back onto his side so he faced away from me.
Due to the fact I was becoming irritated with this game, I sat on the side of the bed, shaking the Earl's arm frantically. "Ciel, you must wake up so we can go and have fun."
"Sebastian!" Ciel called out, his blanket pulled over his head. I did not understand why but he always did this when he had no eyepatch on his eye. I know, because I have seen him do it many times before when I have tried to wake him. "Sebastian!"
"Yes, my Lord?" The butler stood in the doorway. He was much different than my Agni. He did not seem to have any emotion at all towards anyone, but he would still labour for his master.
"Sebastian, do remove Prince Soma from my bedroom."
"But, Ciel, the circus is in town and I want you to take me to go see it."
"Perhaps another time," Sebastian picked me up by my arms and carried me out of the room, closing the door with a soft thud.
...
"Ciel," my back was pressed to the bedroom door of the Earl Phantomhive. It was a rainy day and I was bored. "Ciel, get up."
"Go away, Prince Soma." Ciel muttered. He had a sleepy tone as the sun had yet to rise that morning.
"But, Ciel, I am bored."
"It is too early for your silly games. Do us both a favour and go back to bed."
"But, Ciellll."
Here was a silence for a moment. I took this chance to open the door and peek through, the Earl appearing to be asleep in his bed. I was wrong.
"Sebastian!"
Moments later the dark butler stood in front of me, shaking his head with a slight smirk on his face. "Perhaps he'll play when he has properly woken up."
"Okay." I sighed, Sebastian chuckling as I made my exit.
...
"Ciel, get up!" Today I had opened the door to the boy's room, but remained server metres away from the doorway.
"Hmmm?" The boy muttered, rolling so he was in the direction of the open door, and hand resting on his bad eye.
"Ciel, get up and play something with me."
The boy sighed, opening his uncovered eye and looking at me with a yawn. "Play what?"
"Anything, just get up." I walked closer to the door, "you can try to teach me how to play chess again!"
"How about I teach you how to play hide and go seek instead."
"What is that?" I questioned, the boy sitting up but refusing to remove his hand.
"It a game. You go hide and I'll find you."
"But how can you find me if you are in your bed?"
"I'll get out of bed."
"You will get up?"
The Earl sighed, nodding and standing to his feet. "But only if you promise not to wake me again."
"Oh I promise, I promise!"
And with that he began to count.
And I hid for thirteen hours.
I had won both the games of hide and to seek, and I had gotten the Earl to rise from bed.
I had gotten him to get up.
