Yes, My Lord.

Chapter 7

Ciel's carriage is pulling back into the front drive of the Phantomhive Mansion. It is well past sunset and the young lord is fast asleep. Sebastian is watching him. The carriage stops slowly at the front door.

1 minute, 5 minutes, soon almost 15 minutes go by and Sebastian can't bring it apon himself to wake his master.

His head is rolled to his side and his little mouth lies a few centimeters open. Small breathing sounds are coming from him and Sebastian smiles.

"Such a peaceful looking lord while he is sleeping..." Sebastian whispers out loud.

"Makes up for all the times when he's awake." Sebastian chuckles to himself.

He leans over to Ciel and in one swift movement picks him up in his long arms and steps out of the carriage into the cold night air.

Ciel notices the change in temperature and turns his face into Sebastian's strong shoulder. Ciel buries his face into His Butler's coat and Sebastian stops dead in his tracks.

"Oh!" Sebastian makes a little sound of surprise. He knows that Ciel is sleeping and he would never do this if he was awake.

Now, more than before, Sebastian wishes that he did not have to wake his master. Sebastian stands there, in the middle of the drive, in awe.

After what seems like hours, Sebastian makes his way up into the manor.

Ciel begins to stir and Sebastian stops and holds his breath. He doesn't want this moment to end. "Not yet, no I'm not ready for him to wake up." Sebastian hastily mumbles.

Starting to walk again, Ciel stays asleep, much to Sebastian's visible relief.

He pushes open the large door that leads to the master's bedroom, and unwillingly puts Ciel down on the bed and changes him into his night attire.

As soon as Ciel is out on the bed, he realizes that the warmth of Sebastian is gone. Curled up into a ball, Sebastian pulls the comforter over his master and blows out the candle Mey-Rin had laid out.

"Sweet dreams, for a sweet master." Sebastian says in a hushed tone. Ciel slowly opens his Colbalt eye, and smiles. He watches as Sebastian turns and swiftly exits the room.

So many thoughts run through Sebastian's mind and this point. Thoughts from moments ago, and thoughts from two weeks ago he sill can not quite piece together.

He places a hand on his shoulder in the same place Ciel had put his head. He is quiet for a few moments, quiet with thought.

He knows I am a demon. He knows that I am... Incapable of human emotions. No demon has ever been known to love, or be sad about a human. They are meals, just there for us to feast apon.
But maybe... Just maybe the other demons never loved because they never met someone like Ciel Phantomhive.
Would Ciel have still leaned on me if he was awake? What's to say he wouldn't?

Sebastian sighs.

What am I going on about.. I am losing my grip. There is still so much to do tonight.

For a moment, Sebastian contemplates going back to Ciel's room. He quickly decides against it.

His hand still on his shoulder, Sebastian throws open the door to the kitchen and is gone from view.
