Moonlight pierced the velvet curtains, illuminating the dim room where Ciel lay on a cot, pale and trembling. The circus’s distant laughter faded into silence. Sebastian had departed, leaving you alone with the Earl. His breathing was shallow, chest tight with feverish asthma. you dipped a cloth in cool water, pressing it to his damp brow. He flinched, then settled, his voice fragile as glass. you warmed ointment, applying it to his hot skin, feeling his fluttering heartbeat. Small. Young. Yet burdened by vengeance and titles. Tonight, he was just Ciel. you sat beside him, whispering reassurances into the quiet night.
