An Artist's Love

Sleep

~Meredith's pov~

"Alright. Paint?check! Brushes? Check! Canvas? Check!" I said checking for missing supplies.

I put everything out to start my new painting. I cant work unless there is music. I walk over my cd player and turn on my ABBA disc. I sat down opening my paint trying not to spill it. One problem, what do i paint.

"Oh! I know!" I shouted.

I turned my phone on and looked up Black Butler images. I found one of Claude and starting painting the outline him. He is my favorite, his slim body, sleek glasses, and yellow eyes. Funny part is i hate spiders. All of a sudden there was a bright light ffollowed by a thud.

"Holy shit!" I yelled putting down my brush.

I ran over to a familiar unconscious blond lying on the floor. I look closely at the face, the boy had dried tears on his soft cheeks. Hold on, hold on. I took out my phone and continued looking threw the images until i found it.

"Fan-flippin-tastic! I have Alois Trancy on my floor!" I yelled.

I cant leave him on my floor! I guess there is room for this kid on the couch. I went over, picked Alois up, and carried him bridal style to my couch. I placed him down with his head on my lap. I really couldn't help but stroke his blond hair. I kept on hand on his head and the other painting Claude. I put down my brush when i felt him stir. He let out little moans. Then he slowly opened his blue eyes. Alios jerked up in shock.

"Why the hell are you painting Claude?!" He said raising his voice.

"Why the hell are you here?!" I retorted

That shut him up real good. Of course Alois starting crying again which made him pass out onto my lap. I cant paint with him here! God damn you Alois Trancy. I lifted him up and slid a pillow under his head. I decided to clean up my art supplies, put them in my art room, turn of the cd player, and go to the kitchen.

"Where is it? Where is it?! I can't be out of it while he is here!" I said out loud.

"Where is what?" A voice asked softly making me jump.

"Tea, earl grey tea." I responded

I looked all around the cabinets, but no luck. When i turned around i check my drawer. Of course it was in there! I grabbed a pot, filled it with water, put it on the stove, boiled the water, put the tea bag in the cup for Alois, poured the water in, let the bag set, and took it out. I brought the cup of tea to the blond sitting on my couch.

"Here, this is for you. Its earl grey." I said holding it out for him.

Alois took the tea from my hands, and began to drink it. I come over, sat next to him, and was quite.

"I was running from Sebastian. Claude told me to run into the forest and chant a spell. I saw a bright light and ended up here." He explained.

I could see has was depressed, probably about Claude not being here. Alios finished his tea as i watched television, but he never asked about it.

~TIME SKIP~

When i finished criminal minds i looked at Alois asleep on my sholder. Do i wake him? Or let him sleep? I guess wake him so he can change for sleeping. I poked his cheek. He slowly opened his eyes.

"Lets get some sleep." I said softly

He nodded and followed me up the stairs. Not to mention that Alois was holding onto my hand. I walked to my room. I opened the drawer to grab an old soccer shirt and lounge pants. I handed the clothes to him.

"Listen i know you normally dont wear these for pajamas, but you're going to have to pull threw tonight. Okay?" I said

"Can you help me like Claude would?" He asked quietly thinking i didnt hear.

"Sure." I agreed.

I walked him to the guest room. Alois stood infront of the bed. I took off his coat, unbuttoned his shirt, i quickly put my old soccer shirt on him, i unlaced his shoes, took off his socks, then slid his butt shorts off, and rushed to put pants on him. Dont beat me up like Hannah please.

"Comfy! But next time dont go as fast." The blond snapped.

"Alright, my room is across the hall." I said pointing to my room.

I watched Alois tuck himself in bed. I left a nightlight on for the poor kid. When he fell asleep i walked to my room. I settled in my bed with my stuffed animal bunny, turned off the light, and went to sleep. I was less the 20 minutes when i felt something crawl into bed with me. Alois got into bed with me and wrap his arms around my waist. I turn over and kiss him on the forehead.

"Whatever helps you sleep at night Alois." I sighed then went to sleep with Alois aroud me.
