A Butler on a Beach
Ciel's POV
I was awoken at 7:00 A.M. sharp by the blinding light of the sun, and the scraping noise of curtains being drawn. I sat up tiredly, rubbing stray sleep from my eyes. Sebastian turned and faced me. A slight smirk played on his lips and I glared, annoyed. Why was he so happy this morning? He bowed slightly to me. "Good morning master, I have breakfast prepared. It consists of maple pecan scones and mint tea. Shall you eat at the table?" My stomach rumbled as he sat me on the edge of my bed and undressed me. As he did, I answered him. "Yes. What of my plans for today?" I was hoping I could work a little in peace, but peace wasn't exactly happening lately. With Pluto having bad fleas, all I ever heard was him constantly scratching. He wouldn't stop and he did it everywhere. Sebastian had to put one of those cones on his head. Today is his first day wearing it around. Hopefully, he can be silent for me. "Well my lord, it appears lady Elizabeth has asked you accompany her to the beach. She also said anyone else may come with you." I sighed. The beach. Just what I needed on a day like today. I wanted to work, not frolic like a fool on a beach… "Must I go?…" I knew I had to go for Elizabeth, but I still felt I should ask just in case by chance I didn't. " Now master, you know the answer to that question yourself…" I sighed again. Sebastian got up and found a pure white, button-down and sleek, black pants. Then, he knelt back down in front of me. "I assume this is the only thing you have that can match a beach theme." He put it on and stood up, before looking me over. "You look very handsome in that my lord." He smirked. I grumbled as he led me downstairs. I sat in my chair at the table and began eating, watching Pluto sleep in his bed by the corner of the dining room. He was snoring, laying on his back, hands and feet in the air. The white cone hid his face but I guessed him drooling. Sebastian must have seen me watching him, because he gently kicked Pluto in the side with the heel on his shoe. Pluto sat up sleepily, whining. Sebastian whistled to him and opened a bag of Inukko dog food. As he heard the kibble fall into the metal bowl, He got up and hurried over to Sebastian. Once there, he tried his best to eat the food, but it must have been hard because when he put his face in the bowl, the cone hit the floor. I snickered quietly. "I'm finished, when are we leaving?" Just then, the four servants skipped in. Finny and Bard had surf boards and Mey-Rin and Tanaka were carrying a large picnic basket. I stopped. "They are coming to?" I asked, looking at Sebastian angrily. He sighed and nodded. "Would you trust them alone in your manor my lord?" "No, I see your point. Are you attending as well?" As much as I didn't want to go at all, it deemed more interesting and bearable if he came too. "Yes. Pluto and I." I groaned. Even the dog was coming. How was I ever able to find relaxation now?
