"Nope, seems everything is fine, just like the first time I said it." A man with gray hair and tired from age eyes who was wearing a white coat finished examining the blue haired child, Sebastian had found this man who happened to be a house doctor on one of his calls walking the street. It was a turn of luck for him because the doctor didn't turn them away and guided them back to his home which was only a few houses down. He had examined Ciel's throat, eyes, mouth, and nose for any signs of irritation when he had finished with that Sebastian was adequate on making sure the man checked him again. And so here they were, after the second checkup.

"Is there anyway a poison would be undetectable?"

The old man sighed, it seemed he had gone through this a hundred times over with Sebastian however the butler could care less of his annoyance. Ciel was more important.

"No, there is no such thing as of yet, I fear the poison you speak of is only known as your own anxiety; this child is in perfect health despite some minor issues that are unrelated to your scare."

"See Sebastian? I'm fine, now can we please take our leave?"

Suddenly the raven haired man felt bad for keeping Ciel here to go through yet another doctor visit, he knew the boy hated these. He helped the bluenette up and placed his hand over his heart apologetically.

"Forgive me for ruining your first free day here."

Ciel looked him over almost studying him before he spoke "Its fine, I sort of liked today. I learned a great deal."

Sebastian turned to the doctor and handed him a few pounds to thank him for his service, he was also grateful the man never questioned who Ciel was or even why he was checking the child for poison. Sebastian could only assume the man was just tired and wanted to retire for the day. More questions meant more time he wasn't willing to spare.

Once that was handled he set his gaze on Ciel who looked terribly tired, it had grown dark outside and the day had been very eventful, in one motion Sebastian leaned down and picked the boy up bridal style causing the bluenette to blush in embarrassment.

"What are you doing?!" Ciel demanded

"After the events of today I assumed you were too tired to walk all the way back, however if you feel you can walk ill place you back down." The boys silence made him smirk, they both knew he was tired and that he didn't want to walk but his pride wouldn't allow him to voice it.

Sebastian proceeded to walk toward the inn that Claude had arranged for them, whether the taller man was there or not he did not know but secretly hoped he wasn't. As he walked he could feel Ciel breathing; they were gentle breaths and when Sebastian looked down to see the boy's face a gentle smile curved his lips. Ciel had fallen asleep.

He walked gently to not wake the bluenette till he made it to the inn, it wasn't anything fancy and that's just what he needed. No one would recognize Ciel here, most knew Vincent's face but hardly anyone knew his sons unless they were of high birth and attended one of Vincent's balls. For once Sebastian found himself grateful to the father for keeping his child locked away. When he made his way inside Claude was nowhere to be seen, but that was all the better. The inn keeper immediately showed them to their room. Sebastian supposed Claude had described what they looked like so that he could give them the room. Once inside the inn keeper closed the door and left. The room wasn't anything Ciel would be used to but to him it was much nicer than anyplace he had stayed before he worked at the Phantomhive manor. The walls and floor where made from the same wood, there was a small window that out looked to a few pubs and shops. An empty chest was pressed to one of the walls and next to it a bed. One bed.

A sigh escaped him, Claude probably did this to spite him. they both knew that the young master would get the bed and he would have to sleep on the floor. It was apparent that Sebastian and Claude where going to be at each other's throats from here on forward.

Sebastian walked to the bed and gently placed Ciel onto it, the boy fussed a bit in his slumber but did not wake. The older male chuckled and proceeded to slip off his master's shoes then covered him.

It was going to be a long night for Sebastian so he took off his coat to use as a pillow and laid down on the floor next to the bed Ciel was sound asleep on. It took him awhile but he finally fell asleep and soon his dreams took him.

…

The air was thinner, and all that surrounded him was a black Forrest full of black barked trees with crimson leaves, the trees cried blood the way they normally seeped sap. As Sebastian walked deeper and deeper into the Forrest he found it odd that there were no signs of life. Not even a sound, the silence was maddening. Suddenly he heard a sound that broke the silence and when he pointed his gaze to it Sebastian found a black as death crow with blood red eyes staring at him.

No words were shared, just silent starring from him to the crow until Sebastian's eyes opened and he found himself still laying on the floor. Something about that dream made him feel uneasy and when he attempted to shift himself into a more comfortable position he realized he couldn't because of a weight on his arm and chest. Looking to the source he found Ciel was laying with him on the cold floor, cuddled into his chest much like a kitten. "did he fall?" analyzing the bed it was easy to tell that the boy did not fall out but rather woke up in the middle of the night and took his blanket to join the butler on the floor. A gently smile escaped him and he pulled the younger male closer to him lovingly, Ciel who was still asleep didn't protest and in response cuddled into him until the unnatural eyes he possessed slowly opened.

Embarrassment took Ciel as he looked up to the man who was holding him in his previous slumber. He shifted in his humiliation but Sebastian gently tightened his grip.

"It's okay young master, don't be embarrassed."

"Embarrassed? I'm not embarrassed….I must of fell off the bed." God he was so stubborn in his pride.

"Is that so?" the older male's brow lifted in amusement.

"What were you even doing on the floor in the first place?"

"There was only one bed and It's not my place to climb into bed with you."

"…I See."

Sebastian was about to sit up but to his surprised the Ciel laid his head on his chest showing he was still wanting to be held so Sebastian complied and held the boy.

"You know..." the boy with two different color eyes spoke, breaking the silence. "Next time, you may lie in bed with me. If there's only one, I mean." As he said this he kept his gaze off Sebastian, still showing his discomfort in his kindness. The older male couldn't help but smirk. Suddenly he desired to be in a bed with the boy but he held back his urge's.

"I had a strange dream Sebastian."

"Oh? What was it about?"

"I was in this room, it was a Dark room and I Couldn't much see anything around me. When I started to walk to the center of it I found a pool of blood on the stoned floor, and standing in the middle of it was a crow. A Black Crow and it did nothing but stare at me."

Sebastian's eyebrows furrowed as he tried to understand how he and the boy both dreamt of a staring crow, this wasn't real was it? How could they share a dream?

"A crow?"

"Yeah, it was quite odd."

Silence took Sebastian as he chose not to tell Ciel he shared the dream, there was no reason to startle the boy anymore then he probably already was from yesterday's events however he did want to speak to someone later that might know what was happening. The question was who? Adrian was mad but not a psychic, and no one in the Phantomhive manor could even know that they took a day in London.

"What's on the list for today?" the child's voice broke him out of his thoughts once again from the sudden shift in conversation and he looked down to meet the mismatched eyes.

"Whatever you wish my lord."

"Anything's fine, as long as no one blows in my face again."

A dark chuckle escaped Sebastian "The city is full of creeps my lord; you were fortunate it was just a mad man who you encountered."

"I'm sure, but what do I have to be afraid of with you by my side." Ciel then started to stand up but suddenly lost his balance and fell back, in swift movement Sebastian quickly moved to catch the boy.

"Master are you okay?" Ciel was holding his head with one of his hand while the other held on to Sebastian for support.

"Master?"

"I'm fine…just Dizzy."

"Are you sure?" the butler's expression was painted with concern but Ciel brushed it off.

"I don't have much time Sebastian, let's make today count."

With a sigh Sebastian could do nothing but nod and agree to the boy. That day he had took Ciel to countless book stores, shops and to see the Thames river, Along with other sight-seeing architecture like the Elizabeth tower. He even timed it perfectly so that the bell inside would toll over the city right when they got there, his favorite part of the trip was when it started to snow, even though it was cold Ciel really seemed to love the way the city looked in the white fluff. Truly a child born in winter.

The day ended with Claude preparing the carriage so that the three of them could start their long journey back.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Life man…life.

Anyways here's a little fun fact that most of you probably already know but I'm going to throw it out there anyways.

Big Ben is not the tower but actually the name of the bell inside. The tower it is encased in is called Elizabeth tower but now-a-days locals in London just call it "the tower"

This chapter was quite short but its only because I felt that the next part needed to be a fresh chapter otherwise it wouldn't have meshed up well.

Ciel is going to start growing ill from here on out so….you have been warned.

Like always thank you for sticking with me even when I take a long while to update. I truly love this story and I always want to update as fast as I can but life is well…life.

Ive been planning a trip to Arizona and there has also been family troubles keeping me away. (nothing serious no worries!)

See you all next time!
