3rd Person POV:
An ominous dark shadow with ebony hair and crimson eyes prowled the halls of the Phantomhive Manor. Silent as the night, it made its rounds making sure everything was in its place. A small voice could be heard coming from the master's chambers and the shadow went to see what could be amiss.
Sebastian's POV:
I silently walked up to my master's door and knocked lightly on the large mahogany door. When I received no reply I allowed the door to creak open slightly and peeked in through the doorway. Sweeping my gaze across the entire room, I saw nothing that could be threatening or otherwise wrong. A rustling in the direction of my young master's bed slightly startled me and I walked over to his bedside. His covers had been pushed toward the foot of the bed and he lay like a starfish upon the excessively plush bed. There was a sheen layer of perspiration covering his face and, drawing my eye further down his body, I could see that his night gown had ridden up his legs, revealing creamy, unblemished skin. I wonder what that skin would feel like if I just…
"Mmmn…"
Ciel squirmed in his bed making his night gown ride up even higher. My eyes widened as his slender thighs came into view.
"Hhmmm…Sebastian…"
Is he having another nightmare?
"Sebastian…more…I want more"
I gasped. My eyes grew to the size of saucers when I heard my young master moan my name. A sudden realization came upon me. Ciel was having The Dreams.
I stood there too stunned to do much else. Why would Ciel be dreaming about me? He couldn't possibly think of me in a romantic way. Could he? Wait, why should I even care? It's all his fault that I'm stuck in eternal servitude.
A sigh came from the sleeping form on the bed as it turned over on its side, its breathing turning into short gasps and long, drawn-out moans. The thought of waking the boy flitted through my thoughts as Ciel's breaths came more quickly, and his small hands gripped the sheets with much force. I knew I should leave before he awoke, but the sight before me was simply too enthralling. Ciel moaned loudly, and it was obvious that the end was near. Ciel writhed and twitched in his bed until his movements finally slowed and he let out a contented sigh. Slowly, he cracked open his one azure eye followed by his contract-marked one, and his dazed gaze fell upon me. My breath caught in my throat and my heart beat faster as I anticipated Ciel's reaction. Gradually, comprehension crept into his eyes and they widened making him look like a deer in the headlights.
"S-Sebastian? What are you doing here? How long have you been standing there?"
Seeing Ciel start to panic knocked me out of my daze, and I slowly walked toward him.
"I heard noises coming from your bedroom and when I came to investigate, you were calling out my name in your sleep. Were you dreaming about me…Ciel?" I teased, adding in a smirk for good measure.
"Of course not! And don't call me by my name, it's improper! Now get out of my room!" he snapped, still panting heavily.
"Yes, my lord," I answered, turning around and heading toward the still open door. Hesitating slightly, I turned and faced Ciel, "Sweet dreams."
"GET OUT!"
Quickly, before Ciel started throwing things, I slinked out the door and closed it behind me with a soft click.
As I walked down the dark, drafty hallway, I could still hear Ciel fuming inside his bedroom. The image of his surprised face flushed with embarrassment was still fresh in my mind, and it made my heartbeat quicken, which confused me to no end. Ciel going through puberty may prove to be more troublesome than I had expected.
(Ciel POV)
Damn that butler! How dare he come in here when I'm having those dreams, and have the audacity to stand there staring at me the whole time! This has got to be the most embarrassing moment in my entire life.
I have only had these dreams for a little less than a month and it already feels like an eternity. I wish they would just stop. Almost every night I wake up sweaty, aroused, and craving my butler, and it drives me to the brink of insanity! I feel as if there is something inside me just building and building, wanting to be let loose.
Exhausted from my latest dream and my outburst at Sebastian, I drifted into sleep easily.
(THIS PAGE BREAK LOVES YOU VERY MUCH)
Yet again I wake up to light shining through the windows and directly into my eyes. The light is very peculiar. It is not the kind of light I would expect from the sun. It seems fake and out of place. I have not once ventured outside of the mansion so I have no clue as to what hell looks like beyond these walls.
As I bring my arm to my eyes to shield them from the light, I see Sebastian at my bedside yet again, laying out my breakfast for me. The air felt thick with tension as he avoided my eyes, not uttering a word, and carried out his daily duties. Still mad at him, I also kept my mouth shut until he announced my tea and crumpets were ready to eat, and asked if I wanted to be dressed.
In the most even voice I could muster, I answered, "I will dress myself today you may leave."
"Very good my lord. I will be waiting for you in the study when you finish." With a swish of his coat tails, he disappeared out the door.
I took a slow, calming breath to ease my lingering anger and proceeded slowly to dress myself and eat my breakfast.
(Page break! I choose you!)
Floorboards creaked as I walked down the desolate hallway to the study. I would have to notify Sebastian of this later. Priceless works of art littered the hallway and as I passed them, a wave of nostalgia washed over me. I remembered the times I had played hide-and-seek with Elizabeth when they were small children…before the fire. Sighing, I shook the dark thoughts out of my mind, and quickened my pace.
As I reached the study door, the faint scent of Earl Grey tea teased my nose. I strode past Sebastian and plopped into my favorite high-backed chair. He said nothing as he stood next to the small coffee table directly in front of me. His wine-red eyes shone with an unknown emotion. We gazed into each other's eyes for what seemed like eternity. Heat radiated off my cheeks and I just knew that I was blushing. Wanting to get rid of the offending blush as soon as possible, I shifted my gaze to the carpeted floor, hiding my face in my fringe, and cleared my throat.
"So where is this annual gathering you spoke of before?" I asked, getting straight to business.
"Every year it is held in the Devil's Den, an old, Victorian styled castle, nestled deep in the darkest forest in the demon realm. Our elders call it by its original Latin name, Diaboli Lacum."
"Will you will be attending with me?" I inquired, trying harder to conceal the redness upon my cheeks.
"But of course young master. I am, after all, still your butler so I will be there to service your every whim," he replied, sending me a small, half-hidden smirk.
My heartbeat quickened and fluttered inside my chest like a small hummingbird trying to escape its cage. What on earth is this man doing to me?
His smile widened as I grew more flustered, fidgeting and smoothing out non-existent wrinkles in my clothing.
"There are still arrangements that need solidifying, as well as bags to be packed before our departure."
"Very well," I replied taking a sip of my, now cold, tea. "I will be in the library reading for the rest of the day. Bring up fresh tea and something sweet."
"Yes, my lord."
I swiftly rose out of my comfortable chair and made my way out of the study, pausing momentarily at the door.
"Oh I almost forgot. There are some creaky floorboards in the hallway near my bedroom. Fix them immediately."
Before he had the chance to reply, I slammed the door closed and made my way to the library.
I'm so sad that spring break had to end so soon. I wish summer vacation were here already so I can just sleep in every day and not have any homework. School just sucks sometimes. Anywho...Thank you my bocchan for editing this for me! And to my friends who are reading this and are going to tease me about it the next time you see me(you know who you are)…Love yew!
