Sebastian had to hear the complaints all day, and although it wasn’t an issue, not even him with all his otherworldly knowledge could decipher what they were saying.The aching muscles and popping of bones said as much. It was restless sleep instead of, “Yeah, I slept like an hour, but at least it was good”. 45 minutes of sleep, he literally knows how much they slept and although he’s seen them pull all nighters and manage just fine, this time was different.The tossing and turning wasn’t out of the ordinary for them, but the fact that it kept up all night pretty much set the foundation for how the morning was going to be. He knew this was going to happen before his S/O even did.It’s getting rubbed in their face later and Sebastian is restraining them in bed until late next morning. Eventually Ciel found his S/O curled up in a random chair, face hidden behind their hands and he couldn’t help but smirk, eye rolling at the sight.He told them to take a break, to rest and perhaps eat because their stomach was forming a new language. It would be hypocritical of him to scold them, but he owns this mansion so that’s exactly what he did. There could only be one sleep deprived person in this mansion and that was him.It seemed as if they were talking to themselves and eventually figured out whatever was being asked of them and went to it. Their reply made no sense after the first word. It was the way they replied to his question, and the dark circles, that did it. Eventually, while on a break from reading through a stack of documents, he’d notice.Low, heavy sighs escaping their lips every time they did so. It would honestly take Ciel a moment to notice the signs, the butterfingers and the way they unceremoniously dropped into their seat, harshly.Pushing through and giving it their all was part of their personality, but that didn’t mean that they could handle it half the time. The work ethic was appealing and although they worked hard they weren’t as used to it as Ciel. Let’s be real, Ciel is a workaholic and it wouldn’t be surprising if he was with an S/O who worked just as hard.I remember in HS, I slept one hour went to softball practice and still went to bed at 1 AM.
