Yaoi Lemons,

Ciel x Sebastian (pt. 5)

"Bocchan, are you okay?"

Ciel lifted his head slowly, looking away from his butler.

"Of course I am." He stated with a pout and a stubborn voice. "I'm Ciel Phantomhive."

"If my master says so." Sebastian continued, putting on the tealhaired boy's socks.

"So today we will inspect a hotel in the outskirts of London. The Queen has heard rumors about it being a place where many wanted people hide out." He stated with his calm voice.

Even though Ciel said that he was okay he actually felt quite bad. A strange sleepiness held him in its grip, making his eyelids unusually heavy. And he also felt kind of warm, but maybe it just was that he had been in the bed for too long. Still, more than anything he wanted to go back to bed and stay under his warm marinecoloured duvet, drifting off into sleep.

"..Master?" The butler asked with a slight hint of worry.

Ciel reluctantly got up from the soft bed and went towards the door. If he didn't go now he would never leave.

"Let's go, Sebastian."

It was very dim outside. The clouds covered the sky like a grey blanket, barely letting any sunshine in at all. Ciel sat in his horsecarriage, with Sebastian driving it. As soon as he had got in the carriage the young boy had closed his eyes and drifted away. It felt so good just sitting there, how come he hadn't noticed before?

"-ong master. Young master?"

"What?" Ciel mumbled as an answer.

"We're here. We have to get going."

The boy slowly opened his eyes and fixed his gaze on the butler. He held a black umbrella, as a faint rain had started to fall down. A wind blew into the carriage, giving Ciel goosebumps, and making him shudder.

"Bocchan?"

"Yes I'm coming right n-" Ciel didn't get to finish his sentance before he started to cough violently. His eyes became moist, and his throat dry.

"Are you okay, Ciel?" Sebastian asked, giving him a peck on the cheek when it stopped for a second.

The boy didn't have time to answer though, as the harsh coughing soon continued.

"I-I'm okay." He said after some time. "Show the way to the hotel."

Sebastian gave his master a worrid look, but did as he said. The young master had always been tough, and almost never gotten ill. The butler thought about taking Ciel home again, but then decided to trust his master's words.

The two of them started walking down through a road with gravel. Sebastian held the umbrella over his master's head, successfully protecting him from the rain. It had started off as a soft rain, but now it fell down quite roughly.

Suddenly Ciel stopped, to his butler's surprise. He again started to cough badly.

"Ciel, shall we return home instead?" Sebastian asked, getting an uneasy feeling.

"N-no... I can k-keep going." He stubbornly said between coughs.

"You are not feeling well, young master. We really should return to the mansion."

Ciel got quiet and looked away with a stubborn pout and hazy eyes. Just as the demon was about to open his mouth the young master fell forward. In shock Sebastian caught him, calling his name over and over. This was very unusual of the young master. The butler put his hand on Ciel's forehead.

'You're burning up master..' Sebastian ran towards the carriage, carrying his master like a princess.

Ciel opened his eyes to notice that he was in his bed. 'Was it all a dream?'
