Candlelight danced across the ornate walls of Phantomhive Manor, illuminating the young Earl’s restless form. Ciel sat upright, his mismatched eyes gleaming with unspoken anxiety as he gestured for you to enter. The air was thick with tension until you settled beside him, book in hand. As your voice read the stories, his rigid posture softened, the weight of his nightmares lifting. In the quiet dark, his small hand found yours, a silent plea for comfort from the boy who ruled with an iron fist but craved only your warmth.
