Touch averse vs Touch allowed
"Don't presume to touch me!"
It's kind of comforting that as an abuse survivor, Ciel has someone he trusts enough to touch him in a familiar manner. Sebastian's presence in his life so incorporated that at this point in time he trusts his touch enough (or trusts the contract enough) to never hurt him. Finding reluctant comfort in the devil. (Until the end that is, but that's a different matter, and in fact makes this comfort many-layered and double-edged).


He falls asleep from exhaustion and the coolness of Sebastian's touch...



He's very visibly heightened and reliving traumatic experiences. Only his butler, the one who was there can hold him right now.
Ciel sees the darkness with his eyes wide open. He knows what Sebastian is upfront, he could trust that he couldn't trust him. He could trust where that trust's limit lies, that for as long as they are master and servant Sebastian wouldn't be so bold as to inflict harm on him (emerald witch arc aside, but I still think that shock was ultimately a good thing for the story).
He could trust in the contract. In Sebastian's touch. and I think that's one of the reasons why he's able to melt into it.
Through the years perhaps he's learned that he musn't fear the weapon in his own hand, to the point that even at his most vulnerable he would allow the contact, and no one else's.

the first thing that comes to mind looking at this is, "that’s my demonic bride right there, and he’s gonna have on a black veil so I can lift it."
