Ciel Phantomhive stared blankly at the many documents he still had left to sign and sighed. He was bored. It was so tedious, signing business documents for hours on end. He was tired of this. Shaking his head, the young boy rubbed his eyes as he fought to remain awake. Oh, but he was tired. So tired...Soon, Ciel's eyelashes fluttered as he slowly drifted off to sleep.

I sighed. Did mishaps in this house have no end? The servants were always finding new ways to damage something, leaving me to clean up the mess. I sighed again. Taking out my pocket watch, I glanced at the time. Eight pm. I decided to check on my Young Master. He had a tendency to neglect his work sometimes, which only left more work for him to neglect the next day. Climbing the carpeted stairs, I reached the door to my Master's study and knocked. No answer. Curious. "Young Master?" I called softly, knocking again. Still nothing. What on Earth could the boy be doing? Whatever it was, it was most certainly not his paperwork. "Young Master, I am coming in". I turned the doorknob and slowly pushed the door open, taking a step inside.

My Master sat at his desk, his hands folded neatly in his lap and his head falling gently onto his chest. With his closed eyes and smooth, even breathing, he was the perfect picture of peace. I smirked. "Oh my, Young Master, have you fallen asleep at your desk again?" I stepped forward, taking in the unsigned documents in front of him. "You couldn't even wait until you had finished your paperwork. Whatever am I going to do with your?" I sighed and smiled indulgently as I rearranged the papers on his desk into neat piles. "Well, I suppose there is nothing that can be done". I stepped around his desk and stopped beside his chair. His hair fell softly in front of his face, begging to be touched. How could I resist such temptation? I bent down and gently brushed his hair away from his eyes. My Master sighed in his sleep, his eyelashes fluttering before eventually settling against his cheeks. I gently wrapped an arm around his shoulders and another under his knees. "Come along now, Young Master", I said as I lifted him into my arms and turned towards the study door. "It is time for bed".

The gentle murmuring of a quiet voice brought me to a vague semi-consciousness as I dozed in my chair. I couldn't hear what the voice was saying, but it's seamless flowing was like a gentle melody, lulling me back to sleep with every syllable. I felt perfectly relaxed and content. A hand gently stroked my cheek, and I sighed with pure bliss as the light touch left an exquisite tingle on my skin. I felt a pair of arms wrap around my body and lift me up to a broad chest, sending shivers down my spine as warmth radiated throughout my body. I rocked gently back and forth when the person holding me began to walk towards the door. The voice spoke again, and I finally connected it's deep, melodious tone to that of my butler, Sebastian. Something to do with sleep. Sleep...What a glorious idea...I shifted slightly, letting my head rest more comfortably against his chest before settling back into his arms. "That's it." He purred softly into my ear, making me shiver once again, "Just close your eyes and rest...Yes...That's it..." he murmured, seeing me sigh and let my body relax in his arms. My mind floated as Sebastian continued to carry me down the hallway, until I heard a door open and click shut as he brought me into my room.

It only took a few minutes to reach the door of my Master's chambers, and I hurried in order to have him safely tucked into bed before my voice could lull him completely to sleep. It was adorable sometimes, the way my voice could send him into dreamland faster than any lullaby. I opened the door with one hand, letting it swing shut with a click. Walking further into the room, I set my Master gently down on the bed before reaching up to unbutton his coat. Sending it down the laundry chute, I then turned and began to work on his shirt. Since my Master was asleep, I was free to marvel at his perfect skin while I worked. That glorious skin which felt like silk to the touch, an exquisite sensation which only I had the pleasure of experiencing. I bent down and unbuttoned my Master's boots and set them down in the closet, then turned my attention to his socks. I slowly slipped them down off his small feet before sending them down the laundry chute as well. Now there was only one article of clothing left for me to remove.

Laying my Master back on the bed, my hands moved down to his pants, where I struggled to keep my mind on task as I swiftly popped open the buttons. I lifted my Master's back as gently as I could while with one hand I slid his pants down his legs, and sent those down the laundry chute as well. I set my Master back into a sitting position as I reached for a nightshirt to dress him in. At that moment, a gust of wind blew through the open window, causing my Young Master to shiver as a low moan escaped his lips. I stopped for a moment to look up into his face. "I am nearly finished, Master. Please, try to endure it for a little while longer." When my Young Master had relaxed slightly, I slid the nightshirt over his arms gently and buttoned it up. Then I lifted him up into a seated position in my arms where I could hold him with one hand while I pushed back the covers with another.

I felt Sebastian's hands on my back and under my legs as I was once again lifted into his arms. The hand supporting my back was removed and I heard Sebastian pulling back the covers on my bed. His arms were around me again as he set me down on the bed and pulled the blankets up, tucking me in. Within seconds the warmth had spread throughout my body and I sighed contentedly, ready to drift into sleep. I felt Sebastian's hands in my hair as he removed my eyepatch and set it on the nightstand. My mind barely registered as Sebastian once again brushed my hair away from my face. I felt so warm, so comfortable, so content. I had no doubt I would be asleep in a matter of seconds. I felt a weight press against my body, and a moment later, my forehead tingled as I felt a pair of lips softly brush my skin. Then the weight pulled back and I heard my butler's voice one final time as my consciousness slipped away by the second. "Good night, Young Master", he murmured softly. I heard the door to my room click softly shut as the last of my consciousness left me, and I fell into a deep sleep.

So, I fixed up a couple of errors here and there, and most everything should be okay now...hopefully.
