There was silence for a while. My skin was filled with goosbumps, and I think I felt a bead of sweat role down my cheek. "C-Ce-Ciel..Ciel.." I was begging, trying to tell him to put the gun down. Where did a gun even come from!? It didn't matter, right now, my heart was pounding and blood was pulsing in my ears.

"Whatever your armed with, put it down."

He thinks I'm armed. Surely why else would I be crawling over him!?

"Ciel...Ciel..please. Gun, d-down."

I'm not sure what came over him, but pretty soon he lowered the weapon. A wave of heat rushed over me, my cheeks grew red and I began to sweat more. "You really are stupid. What do you think you are doing? Disrupting my sleep at this hour?" Now his tone was quieter, as if trying not to wake a certain someone.

"I- I...I'm sorry...so, so sorry. "

"What?" Ciel then smirked, shutting his left eye and sighing. "A pity you are. I can almost laugh."

I noticed he was calming down, and so was I. I leaned back, sitting on my knees and watching as he stuffed the handgun under his pillow. He slept with a gun? After a moment a silence, Ciel turned his head. Giving my a sideways glare from his left. "What are you still doing in my room?"

"S-Sorry!" I jumped off immediately, but Ciel only sighed and stared at me. "I didn't tell you to leave. Just answer the question."

" I thought this was my room." My reply was weak and soft compared to his blunt and aggravated tone.

Ciel shot another glare, then crawled back under the covers, his head turned towards the window and away from me. "The room's darker than it was hours ago."

"Are you, afraid of the dark?"

"Che. Don't be stupid." There was more silence, "Just, stay with me until I fall asleep."

That demand caught me off guard. I stood on my toes, then moved to sit on the edge of the bed. I couldn't help the growing blush and soon began laughing.

"What's so funny?"

I continued to laugh, "It's just, a minute ago you were ready to blast my head off. And now you ask me to stay until you fall asleep?" His eye was piercing, that one eyed gaze made me shut my mouth quickly. Yeesh this kid, could he not take a joke?

Ciel closed his eye, then let out a single chuckle. "Yes, it's funny how things turn out." His face went back to normal and he shifted back on his side. I gazed at him cautiously. Both his eyes were closed, and the moon seemed to reflect off his navy hair. He looked, almost older there.

"Why do you sleep with a gun?" I asked softly, shifting my wait onto one arm.

"To be honest, that Grell figure creeps me out." Ciel's explanation was short and didn't exactly explain anything. Grell couldn't possibly be the reason!

However, he did have a point. That Sebastian loving, red haired, man-woman was just as flamboyant as his hair! Plus his sharp teeth and Houdini chainsaw added to the creepiness.

"Ciel. Isn't watching you sleep a job for your butler or something?"

He didn't reply, he just laid there, facing the moonlight with closed, peaceful eyes. I looked out toward his bedroom door, he was right...the house was darker. I turned back to Ciel, then found myself crawling over to the opposite side of the bed. It was big enough for three people anyway, I turned and faced the sleeping boy. I stared at his right eye, maybe he was blind in one eye. Or perhaps, it was cut?

But that didn't explain why he purposely closed it...I wondered what he thought of me? He clearly didn't trust me, but why did he ask me to stay with him? He trusts me enough to make sure he sleeps soundly...

Something inside wanted me to keep our piano playing ordeal a secret. He obviously didn't know it happened. (Or at least acted like it never happened.)

But oddly enough, I wanted to talk about it. I wanted to hear his perspective on it...

As like always, Sebastian entered his master's room. A tray with hot morning tea ready, as well as an outfit picked out for the day. The black haired butler even picked out an outfit for the ball. He walked about the room, ready to peel back the curtains when he saw her. She was waiting for him like always outside. Her black fur gleaming in the sun, she peered up at the window expectantly. And ear twitching, her tail flowing in the distant wind.

But no, not now. He needed to wake up Ciel, get him ready and then get Rayne.

It would be a while before he could pay 'her' a visit...

A shift in the bed caught his attention. Sebastian turned around and saw, her. Lady Rayne, sleeping soundly next to his master. 'Oh dear. I placed her in a room on the opposite wing specifically so this wouldn't happen.'

'Oh well.' He'll just have to remove her early before his master wakes up. Sebastian swiftly pulled Rayne into his arms, her brown hair falling down towards the floor as he held her bridal style. Sebastian sighed, he walked out of the room and down the hall. Not stopping until he reached Rayne's room.

He set her on the bed and figured, before he attended to his master, Rayne will have to be first.

Why was the room so bright? I yawned myself awake and sat up. The bed was smaller, the room looked different. No more navy accents. Huh? This was my room!

"Morning Lady Rayne." Sebastian greeted. I rubbed my eyes, catching myself before asking him why I wasn't with Ciel.

Maybe it was a dream? What if that whole thing was a dream!? In this world, it was hard to tell reality from dreams.

"Sebastian? Uh...hi."

"I have a dress prepared for you. Allow me to go get it." When Sebastian returned, I smiled softly as the butler laid out a pink ankle length dress with black and white accents. It was quite beautiful, and I loved the style. "It's a fabric from France. Very valuable. I'd like you not to ruin it, this is the dress you'll be wearing for the ball tonight."

I stared at it and picked at the giant black bow in the back. I smiled and nodded. Sebastian leaned up and placed down a pink hat to match. The hat reminded me of a sun-hat, also accompanied with a white bow. I stared at all the black bows and lace with a chuckle. "Bows are really in style huh?"

"Precisely. Now, if you excuse me I will be sure to make this quick." Sebastian took a white cloth and began to tie it over his eyes.

I soon got what he was doing and scampered back.

My eyes widen and I shook my head vigorously. Quickly snatching the white cloth from his hands. "No, no thanks. I can do it myself. I am very independent." I said and shooed him out.

No way, no way! Butler or not, he is not undressing...and redressing me!

I quickly began to change. Pulling the dress over my head. I even clasped on the dress cage myself. As for the corset, well..the dress was tight enough!

I walked out of my room. Making my way to the living room area hastily. Ciel was there and was eating a small breakfast. I quickly joined him, sitting in the same red chair across.

It was silent as he ate, dressed in blue and looking quite casual...for a rich kid. He even further ignored my presence and picked up a newspaper.

What a great way to start off the day.

I APOLOGIZE FOR THE SHORT CHAPTER! Anyway guys, there you go! See? I wasn't going to kill Rayne off early..Ciel was just spooked. When I found out he actually slept with a gun in the manga I died and knew I had to add it in. Please leave a comment and tips and thanks for reading!
