For those who don't know, anything in italics are thought moments and anything in bold italics is like switching viewpoints or settings to focus on a different character.
"Wakey wakey, young master." A familiar suave voice said, opening the curtains within the grand bedroom.
"Mrrr," was the only noise the young boy responded with, being struck with the light that beamed down eagerly to his waiting, tired face. As if trying to escape it, unconsciously, the bluenette reached over to his other pillow and slammed it down on his face.
"Now don't be like that."
The demon reached over and grabbed the pillow from the boy, easily yanking it away with his strength. Ciel groaned and turned away from the light.
"Come now, the light won't hurt you."
"Piss off."
"You're just tired, that's why you're being so mean..." The butler fake pouted, still holding the pillow in his hand. "Anyway, you could have easily suffocated yourself if you had kept this on your face too long." He said with a smile. And maybe that would have been a good idea... He thought at the same time.
"What, so now you're my hero?" Ciel snapped angrily, the light still finding it's way to further piss him off along with his annoying butler. He wrapped himself in blankets, covering his head to shade himself.
"Tsk tsk." Sebastian responded, waving a finger. "No wonder you're still a child, you lack the understanding and importance an Earl has. You have many duties to attend to, master, and those duties can't be seen too if you're sleeping on the job."
He walked over to his Master's side and gripped the sheets he was folded in.
"You look like a caterpillar trapped in a cocoon," He chuckled, as he unraveled the sheets nimbly with speed despite his master's pleads, "And all caterpillars must leave their shell and learn to fly~!"
"HEY!" But Ciel's body was left to shiver without warmth from his sheets.
"You will pay for this dearly, Sebastian." Ciel yawned through half-narrowed eyes, slowly sitting up. His hair was a mess and his nightshirt revealed his bare shoulder from his awkward position. He also reeked of morning breath.
"Of course, my lord." Sebastian smiled back, putting the sheets down and kneeling to start dressing his master.
Meanwhile, outside the Manor...
"I HIT THE THE JACKPOT!" A furry chuckle escaped the bear as his eyes widened and his mouth began to drool from the site of his newest pray.
The bear had been walking through the woods, looking for a fellow woodland creature, fish or an adolescent child to sink his teeth into.
"I'm so damn hungry..." He sulked as he padded along, holding his growling stomach (and other things) sadendly.
His earlier dinner wasn't at all enough to satisfy him. Little Johnny just kept running and running, the chase was exciting, at least. But the aftertaste was horrid and Little Johnny just kind of... took it. There was nothing fulfilling about it without hearing the screams.
"It's just too sad that Little Johnny fox had to die like that." The bear sighed remembering the plump fox he had eaten. "At least I didn't have to use any of my special tools."
The bear peeked at his supplies within his hidden furry pocket. Laced candy in one pocket, regular in the other, colorful balloons to make animals, roofies, kiddy toys, rope, blindfold, binoculars, camera, and his car keys to his signature white van.
"They're all here, all I need is something to use it on."
It was then that the most pleasant sound took hold of his eardrums. A child's voice.
The bear immediately became joyful. He had stopped dead in his tracks. His ears were perked, following the sound and the general direction the noise had come from. His body led him to the edge of the forest, into a large well-kept land. He quickly hid himself behind a bush on the very border of the land, peeking his head up in fear he would be spotted if he were to venture further onto the grounds. His ears twitched again, the voice more powerful as he was closer to it, and he heard the child once more. He dug through his supplies and quickly produced his binoculars.
There, through the window of the large manor, the bear could see a young boy. Everything about him was beautiful. The way his blue hair carefully laid down around his face, his blue piercing gaze, those earrings, and oh that eye patch! The bear wanted him, badly. He's so perfect... the bear was on the verge of tears from just staring at the boy's dazzling figure.
"Hmm this won't be easy," the bear had only just noticed the adult like figure standing near the child, cringing at the sight. Keep your filthy hands off him you bastard. He lowered the binoculars slightly and his eyes narrowed, He's mine.
Back inside...
"Your breakfast this morning shall be pain perdu complimented with a side of hot maple syrup freshly gathered from the nearest Maple Tree and served with your usual tea of choice, Earl Grey."
He put it down gracefully and bowed. "Enjoy your meal, young master."
The Butler presented the dish beautifully, taking extra care not to let a single drop from the syrup touch the plate within one-inch of the actual bread. Served on the finest China money in that century could buy. To say the least, the dish was spotless.
Ciel simply snorted, carefully putting on his napkin and picking up his silver. He had been through this same routine too many times before. Everything he had was carefully prepared, perfection at it's finest, and was always delicious. But the thing that was most irritating to him was the fact that his butler just wouldn't mess up.
We're all human, we all make mistakes, he chewed his food angrily, He just seems to want to reiterate the fact that he will never make a mistake.
"Is it to your liking, my Lord?" Sebastian inquired, attempting to analyze the anger plastered on his master's face as he ate.
"How could one expect anything less?" Ciel responded indifferently padding his napkin on his mouth, "Of course from, 'One Hell of a Butler' as yourself."
Sebastian smiled, "You took the words right from my mouth."
It was then Ciel had an idea.
Let's see what you think when you can't fulfill a command. He thought to himself, a smile tugging his lips as his free eye locked with the crimson of his Butler. This was his childish behavior taking light in his usual stiff, cold self.
"Sebastian," He began slowly as the idea flooded his mind, "I have a request for you to fulfill."
"Your wish is my command." The butler responded, placing a hand over his heart and bowing.
"Well, you see, this... CREATURE I would like you to find is most rare." He had to hold in his laugh as he continued, "You are aware of the mythical creature known as a Unicorn, correct?"
"Of course."
"Well, that is the creature I would wish for you to find."
The Butler smiled back at his master. He accepted his challenge, knowing fully well what his master wanted of him. He obviously wasn't retarded, hell he was well over a hundred years old in human terms. And being the hell of a butler he was, he knew exactly where to find this creature.
"Then it shall be done, I only hope that I can make it back before this afternoon's tea wi-"
He was cut off as the child continued, wickedness shining in his eye, "But not just any unicorn, no. Being an Earl I of course demand the highest grade beast money can buy. I wish for it to be..." his voice trailed off as he gazed around the room, searching for a color that would be nearly impossible to replicate, "Rainbow. With an... automated body that can allow it to have the freedom to jump and dash (with the appropriate commands of course) whenever it feels free too. But can also be tamed by a mere mortal just the same. Oh, and with it's dashes, rainbow's must trail behind it in it's epicness."
Sebastian simply stared at his master. His smile still managed to glue to his face, not betraying a single other emotion other than obedience and happiness.
His voice said, "Not a problem, I will see to your specifications, young master. And I will return, beast in hand; all for your pleasure."
While in his mind he simply REALLY wanted to choke his cocky, childish lord. That little prick. He just wants to make me look like a complete fool. Do those things even fucking exist in the 19th century?!
"Good. Now be back before my afternoon tea." Ciel smiled back kindly, something that he only does when he wants to make you suffer.
Sebastian began to gather the silver and other dishware his master had finished, carefully laying them back onto the cart he usually brought out. His brow began to twitch on it's own, letting all of the command now sink in further.
"What's the matter Sebastian? 'If you couldn't do this much, what kind of butler would you be' correct?" Ciel called as the demon began to walk away.
Sebastian turned behind him and called back with equal determination, "I just hope the young master will be fine without his Butler until noon. It's a challenge for both of us, my lord." and with that he walked out of the room.
It was only about five minutes later when the Butler departed, making sure to leave the other servants with his duties and specific instructions for the young master's care.
"Now, if I come back and find the manor ablaze, guess what's going to happen?" He asked happily.
Finny timidly raised his hand, "You'll hang our behinds triumphantly above the fireplace?"
"Not quite."
MeyRin stuttered out, "Y-you'll leave us with no meals for the rest of the week?"
"Close."
"You'll shank us with silverware?" Bardroy shouted with disbelief.
"Correct."
The three servants glanced at one another.
"We promise we won't mess up." They all said in unison.
"Good." The demon nodded as he opened the large front door to the manor and stepped out before turning around and checking his pocket watch within his vest, "I'll be back promptly at twelve o'clock sharp. I expect nothing will happen in my absence." He said with finality and then swiftly closed the door right in there faces and left.
So guess what, 'pain perdu' is basically french toast but in french! YA! :D The more you knowwww~! But ya, if you haven't picked up on it already, I am NOT historically accurate when it comes to this. I mean, I try, but there will obviously be plot holes only because this is a CRACK story. This is why Pedobear can have a white van and Unicorns can exist in the 19th century. Oh and there wlll be references to well known stuff in here, like the Pedobear meme as you've seen along with: Robot Unicorn Attack (AWESOME GAME), Okami, an OC whale named Sheldon, and many MANY more. I sincerely hope you enjoyed the first chapter, and please do drop a review and follow/favorite! Thank you so much!
This next part is for my broskie in particular that I'd like you to read (you all can read it if you like, it kind of explains some of the character's that will be coming in future chapters anyway):
ON THIS DAY, AUGUST 24 (will not say year ;) LATEZ's GREATEST BROSKIE WAS BORN. A sunny day, August 24 was also known for being the day the first scientist had discovered and captured a robot unicorn. The progress onwards was commendable. To this day Robot Unicorns roam the earth, searching for robot fairy's and stars to bust through with rainbows shooting out of their assholes. Coincidentally on that same day, marine biologists stumbled upon a certain... "Mutant" whale in the Atlantic. It consisted of a long blond like hair braid down it's front face, a prominent unibrow, and extremely small fins for such a big ass whale. It's personality consisted of major derping along characteristics of pedophilia It's most notable competitor and long time rival is the Pedobear, a land like bear that has somehow found it's way into the ocean. Scientists believe that all the used up young girls and boys on land were not satisfactory for the bears hunger, thus, he made his way into the ocean to prey on young, adolescent fish and marine creatures. August 24 was also the blessed day that J. Michael Tatum realized his voice acting godliness and talent and auditioned for his first MAJOR role, a certain butler whose voice can make any woman pregnant. Happy Birthday Buddy and it's twelve o'clock midnight so I think I'll be going to bed now. Love ya and let THIS SHIP SAILLLL~! :U
