-3rd POV-

"Do you want the bed above or the one under, Mal?" (Y/n) said, looking at her twin.

Malleus turned to her, smiling, "I don't mind which one. You pick."

She nodded with a smile, "Alright, I'll take the top one then." She said, climbing up the ladder to take her bed.

He chuckled and sat on the bottom one.

-----

"Say...Can I sleep on the top bunk?"

"By all means. I was just thinking I would prefer the lower bunk." Ciel said, looking at his roommate, who was already climbing up, 'I don't want to climb up there...' He thought.

"I've been thinkin'. You sure speak real pretty 'n' upper crust, like."

"Eh?! D-Do I? It must be because I've been working at a manor since I was little..."

"Ohhh! Well, if you need help, ask me anythin'! I've been in the circus a lot longer than you! I know! Want some candy?" They looked through their bag and got the sweets out, "It's that popular Funtom kind! I got caramel, milk, and strawberry! Which one you want?"

'Ahhh, our own product...' He thought, "I—I'll take caramel then..." He smiled, taking the sweet, 'Damn! I won't be able to visit Sebastian's tent like this.'

-----

"You'll sleep on the upper bed." William marked a line with his death scythe, "This line marks the edge of my own private territory, so please do not set foot beyond it."

"Very well." Sebastian said.

"I say! Why must I live with a devil...?" He turned, muttering, "Let me make one thing clear from the outset. Unlike devils, grim reapers need to sleep. Don't make noises late at night and disturb my rest." He pushed up his glasses.

He let out a breath, "My kind does enjoy sleep as a luxury, however..."

As it became later into the night, the butler laid on his bed, before rising and moving to leave the bed, but was almost struck by the pruner.

"Where are you going? Lights-out was ages ago. For heaven's sake..." The reaper put his glasses, "I won't stand for you snatching souls while I sleep. Please do not go wandering without your master."

The demon let out a breath of annoyance, laying back down, "I shall be rather bored till morning."

-----

"...y. Hey!"

"U...Nn." Ciel groaned, rubbing his eye, "...Sebastian? Mother?" He sleepily muttered.

"What're you sayin', Smile?! Wake up!"

Instantly, the earl sat up, covering his marked eye, in alarm.

"Oh! Yer finally awake. Rookies gotta get up early and make the mornin' grub! No takin' it easy and stayin' in bed!"

"Yes!" He said, reaching over the small table to grab his eye-patch. Then, tied it and slowly got dressed.

"Too slow! Smile, I'm gonna leave you behind!" His roommate exclaimed.

"Coming!"

-----

"Can you really call that personal grooming? It seems you cannot even dress yourself properly." Sebastian smirked.

"I was in a hurry." Ciel said, as he struggled to carry a wooden bucket full of potatoes, "How was your sleep, mother?"

(Y/n) pouted a bit, "Mal and I could barely get a wink of sleep because our horns were uncomfortable."
