This chapter is short but I quite like it haha
Bored, Ciel decides to annoy Sebastian by playing hide and seek. But in the end, it's Ciel who's worn out!
I don't Kuroshitsuji or any of these characters.

"Young master?"
Sebastian frowned. It was his young master's lunchtime, but he couldn't find him anywhere. He hadn't been kidnapped, because no one could get into the manor without Sebastian knowing. Then where was he?
As he walked around the house in search of the child, the butler asked the other servants if they had seen the young lord but no one had seen him since breakfast.
As he was leaving the kitchen, Sebastian noticed the small table in the corridor. It was covered in a table cloth that reached the ground, and the demon smirked as he lifted the cloth.
Sure enough, Ciel was sitting cross legged underneath the table, his hands over his mouth as he shook with laughter.
"Young master." Sebastian tried to hide the amusement in his voice. "May I ask what you are doing?"
"Hiding!"
"Why?"
Sebastian could almost see the cogs turning in the child's mind. "Because it's fun."
"Your lunch is ready, so may I request that you stop hiding?"
"Okay," said Ciel innocently. He slowly crawled out from underneath the table and Sebastian smiled.
But before the butler had time to even register what had happened, the child had sprinted away down the corridor, laughing loudly.
Shaking his head and sighing in annoyance, Sebastian sped off after him.
Ten minutes later:
Sebastian had looked absolutely everywhere.
But as he was walking into the kitchen for a double check, he noticed that the blankets in the laundry basket were steadily and subtly rising and falling.
Suspiciously, Sebastian approached the basket and lifted the top blanket.
What he saw made his heart melt considerably.
Ciel was curled up in the basket; it was a small basket, but it fit his master perfectly. The child's hand was clutching a blanket and his eyes were closed, his expression was peaceful and his mouth was open slightly as he breathed deeply. He looked so innocent and delicate.
A soft smile appeared on Sebastian's face, almost stretching from ear to ear. Slowly, he reached down and picked his master up, his arms strongly but gently cradling the child. Ciel remained asleep, feeling almost like a kitten in Sebastian's arms.
'How childish,' thought Sebastian, as he walked to the earl's bedroom with his young charge asleep and snuggled up against his chest.
