The two went downstairs to the bar and sat down at a table together. Although at first Ciel was a little uncomfortable sitting with his butler he did so anyway without complaining. Each of them looked around the room studying each character. Despite the inn's size on the outside it had only a few rooms. There was a family of four, an older couple, a group of men in their 20s, a few other men who looked like they were on their own and one or two women that looked like they worked at the local brothel. They each ordered some food, not that Sebastian needed to eat, and ate as they watched the other's behaviour closely.
Ciel finished and ordered Sebastian to keep on the lookout for any suspicious activity before going
up to the room. The room was dark and smelt a bit funny. He opened up the bag Sebastian had packed for him and took out his shirt before changing into it. When Sebastian was gone he would teach himself how to do and undo buttons so his butler wouldn't always have to do it for him. He had gotten to the age when he had begun to find it awkward. Just as he finished he heard a knock at the door. He walked over to the door and listened closely. Outside he heard whispering. He looked through the crack in the door and saw a trio of men dressed mainly in black huddled outside the door. Before deciding to open the door Ciel thought he would watch them a little longer. One of them moved his coat revealing a selection of daggers in his belt. At this point Ciel had come to the conclusion that they were trouble and kept the door firmly shut. He grabbed a cup from beneath the bedside table and placed it against the door so he could just make out a few words.
"Boy.......... Around 15............ soul............. Suspicious................ larger man" the rest was muffled beyond hearing but Ciel had heard enough. He put the cup back and waited. The men began to get impatient and again nocked on the door but harder this time. Luckily for Ciel he heard someone walking up the stairs and they quickly departed. He clambered in the bed which was incredibly thin and uncomfortable not to mention a big squeeze. Sebastian came through the door surprised to see Ciel still awake.
"Young master, it's late why are you not asleep?" Sebastian looked genuinely worried.
"Three men came to our door each dressed in black," Ciel replied "I didn't let them in, they were armed I think we should keep an eye on them". Ciel's small frame was perfectly outlined by the thin sheets covering him. He was terribly pale.
"Sebastian?" Ciel asked turning his head to look anywhere but his butler.
"Yes my lord?"
"I'm Cold," Ciel ordered waiting for Sebastian to do something. He was expecting an extra pillow or blanket but instead he felt someone get into the bed with him. He turned to face his butler who had taken off his shirt and wrapped his arms around the boy pulling him close.
"WHA-WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!" Ciel screeched his face completely red. He turned stone cold and his heart thumped in his fragile rib cage.
"My body heat is the most effective way of keeping you warm." Sebastian stated looking down at the flustered boy. Ciel muttered under his breath and pressed his head against the demon's warm chest. He could feel Sebastian's breath against the back of his neck and pulled his legs up to his butler's stomach. Suddenly Ciel forgot everything. He snuggled closer into the man placing his arms around Sebastian pulling him closer. He began to blush again when he realised what he was doing and quickly let go. Sebastian gave a little chuckle and pulled the boy closer.
"Don't you dare ever mention this again," Ciel whispered as he drifted into sleep.
It was almost midnight and Sebastian admired the tiny frame he was clutching in his arms. He watched as the boy's chest rose then fell. He removed one glove and brushed his fingers through the blue silky hair. The boy groaned in his sleep enjoying his hair being played with. Sebastian exhaled. He smoothed his hand over the boy's face, he felt wanted to hold him close forever and not let anyone ever touch him. He knew he shouldn't feel this way. He was the predator and Ciel was the prey, just another master soon to be his meal. A butler should have no such feelings for his master let alone a demon for a human. It was unheard of. But as much as he tried to deny it he loved the boy. He closed his eyes and like the boy dosed off into a sleep.
