Yes, Lord Trancy (Ciel x Alois)

Chapter six: Insomnia

Alois' POV

I heard the door close, the light of the hallway disappearing, leaving my room temporarily pitch black, though my eyes soon adjusted to the low light.
I suddenly felt restless, this had often happened to me since Claude left, I would feel sleepy during the times I was supposed to be awake but as soon as I lay still in my bed I would feel incredibly agitated.
I lay for a bit, shutting my eyes, before getting up and pacing. This was something else I had done a lot.
Round and round and round and round and round I walked until my legs were worn out, but despite this I still felt so hyper-awake, jumpy, anxious.
This was usually the point I would start screaming as a means of trying to let out the frustration which sat in my stomach like a big, angry weight, there was even some almost invisible marks where I had weakly punched at the door, but I obviously couldn't do that now, Ciel would hear and think that something was wrong, or maybe I'd wake him up, does Ciel sleep now he's a demon? None the less I reluctantly got back into bed.

As a substitute I tossed and turned for what felt like forever, until I finally got too restless and began pacing again, briefly stopping to look out the window...
I hadn't been out in ages, I didn't want to, I looked and felt dead and couldn't be bothered with human interactions, with their complex and delicate nature.
My thoughts buzzed like flies around my mind, a whirlwind inside my brain, a bad headache probably minutes away. I rubbed my temples huffing, I wanted sleep but I couldn't, my mental state and natural urges fighting a tug of war, that my mental state was winning. It's like when you're sick and you want to drink or eat something but feel too queasy to get yourself to. It was frustrating and anguishing and it made me so uncooperative and aggressive, which only made me feel depressed and excluded yet I so longed for someone to be there for me, for someone to spill my worries to, but no one was there, Ciel wouldn't care, he probably didn't understand, no one does. It's just me.

I flopped back down on my bed, staring irritably up at the ceiling, as if trying to bore holes in it.
Just then the door opened, and I swiftly looked over to it. Ciel stood in the doorway, wearing a resolutely blank expression and I night shirt, I suppose he must sleep then, I was probably keeping him awake.
"Sorry, I-I didn't know I was disturbing you..." I stuttered, really I shouldn't have to apologise but I feel obliged to now, in all honesty I felt like apologising for my existence, but I didn't know who to apologise to.
"No, not at all. Are you unable to sleep Lord Trancy?" He asked as expressionlessly as he could, only a hint of what sounded like empathy peeking in, but I brushed it off as my sleep deprived mind playing tricks on me.
"I'm fine..." I mumbled apologetically. Ciel hesitated, planning out his next move, before deciding.
"Goodnight then Lord Trancy, I apologise for bothering you, sleep well," he decided, closing the door softly behind him. I turned onto my side, curling up into a ball, feeling a heat on my cheeks.
I lay still, not quite sure what to think...
