I Don't own Kuroshitsuji / Black Butler. You know this.
Ciel and his butler left after an incident with Alois. The blonde insisted on showing Ciel his room and well… things happened. The situation ended with me having to literally pry the boy's hands from Ciel, all while trying not to grope the earl for myself. And at the end of the day, I still grin and bear it. I smiled as the carriage rolled away, attempting to pass this off as a normal visit between friends. When the coach was out of sight, I face-palmed and slammed the door.
"Claude, you didn't have to ruin my fun like that you know," Alois chided.
"Perhaps if you had a cleaner idea of "fun", I wouldn't need to interfere," I said, supervising Hannah and the other servants as they tidied the mansion.
Time passed. I sat and watched the sun set and the moon rise.
"It's getting late, Your Highness. Would you like to retire for the evening?"
"Hmm… I guess so," he answered, leading me up the stairs.
When he was tucked into bed, after being bathed and told a bedtime story and having a warm glass of milk, I finally thought he'd close his eyes and go to sleep. I was sadly mistaken.
"Claude. Before you leave, I'd like a midnight snack," the blonde told me, in that mocking tone of his.
"I'm afraid you cannot, Your Highness. It is time to sleep."
"What? Are you defying me?!" He shrieked.
"No. It's just that you'll ruin your teeth if you eat sweets this late—" but I was interrupted by the sound of sniffles.
"This is just because you don't love me, isn't it?" he asked between sobs. "Nobody could ever love a brat like me. You'd get Ciel a snack at 12am if he asked, wouldn't you? Wouldn't you?!" He hunched over and hugged himself. This was actually quite sad in a really pitiful sort of way. I thought about leaving him there to cry himself to sleep. But if I did that I'd never hear the end of it. I sighed. If I had known serving Jim—I mean Alois, would be this difficult, I probably wouldn't have made that damn contract.
"I'll get you a slice of cake if you stop it. Just, stop it!"
His sobs reduced themselves back to sniffles and eventually stopped altogether. "Th-thank you, Claude."
"Whatever," I mumbled, trudging out of the room.
ON my way down the stars, dark as hell save for the candle I held, I couldn't help but complain about how demanding His Highness was.
Damn Alois. Askin' me to go get stuff at 12 in the morning. I mean, I know I don't sleep but I still like to lie down every once in a while. He's such a bossy child. "Claude, I want cake. Claude, dress me. Claude, wash my back. Claude, do some other unreasonable shit I asked you to do because I can!" Ugh… I hate him so much!
By the end of my rant I made it back to His Highness's room.
And he was asleep.
Wonderful. Just, bloody wonderful. What am I supposed to do with this? …. Well, I've never had human food before. I'm sure one bite won't kill me…
A/N: Sooo... yeah. Claude will try human food. I wonder how this'll turn out. I didn't really plan to get this far... meh. REVIEW! ^^ ~xoxo~
