"Sebastian! Where is my morning tea?" Ciel yelled to him in a very aggravated tone. Today was the day the young master's fiancée was supposed to spend some "quality time" with him. The butler, upon hearing his master call for him, rushed to get his morning chores done, including getting Ciel's favorite tea ready. He could just tell what type of day it was going to be for him, considering the fact that Finnian already ruined the garden, Bard set the young couple's lunch on fire, and Mey-rin broke about six brand new plates.
Despite all of this, the demon butler found a way to get everything straightened out and was able to have his master's tea prepared close to the normal time. He easily carried the tray up the grand staircase and to Ciel's study, giving a gentle tap on the door before entering.
"Young Master? I have your tea ready for you." He told him in a calm, sweet tone, a tone he has always used when talking to the younger male. He made his way into the room, the task not being too hard since he was trained to carry trays with one hand instead of two. Sebastian lifted his head to search for the boy's location in the room and gave a smile as his gaze is set on Ciel. The younger's glance was instantly piercing into his own red eyes as he looked at him. After he stepped completely into the study, the butler closed the door behind him and swiftly walked to him. Their gazes staying locked since neither one exchanged a word of greeting. The stare was broken only moments after when Sebastian bended down to settle the tea tray on the desk. He stepped back some and closed his eyes to show his respect for the younger male. His head remained in a slight hang as if he was bowing towards the younger male, making sure to be really respectful towards him so as to not further upset him.
Ciel gave a gentle huff as he lifted the teacup effortlessly prior to sipping out of it, his own eyes closing as well so he could experience the full flavor of the very familiar drink. After only a couple of moments, he placed the cup back on the saucer and shifted to get up, not really in the mood for drinking all of it in one sitting as he normally did. The young master proceeded to slowly glide across the room and to the window, sadly glaring out of it as he watched the rain pour down from the sky. He let another sigh slip passed his lips as his hand reached over to the other, his gentle fingers starting to toy with the blue diamond ring he has always worn. Ciel's mind seemed to be engrossed in thoughts as he continued to subconsciously play with the ring on his thumb.
As Sebastian finally peered over at his master, he noticed the sadness looming in his eye, the other eye always covered by his patch. Very concerned about him, the demon moved to follow his steps, placing a gentle, caring hand on the small man's shoulder once he was next to him.
"It seems as though you are stressing about some things young master. What is bothering you?" He questioned curiously as he felt Ciel tense up at the touch before relaxing just seconds after. The younger male's eyes closed slowly in defeat as his head hung for a moment or two so he could gather his thoughts. He took a few paces just to the left of Sebastian, causing the demon's hand to slip off his shoulder and back to his side. Ciel continually stared out at the rainy sky through the sheet of glass that was, by now, glossed over with a layer of water on the outside as he begun to find his words to explain his thoughts.
"It just has to do with Elizabeth. I don't want to see her today really. I honestly just want to call of this whole engagement off." He explained in agitated tone as he faced his butler. The elder stared into his eyes, seeing a lot of sadness and confusion contorted in them. He let out a soft sigh prior to him taking a couple of steps towards his master, the palm of his hand rising up to meet Ciel's cheek. He gently caressed the younger male's cheek while his thumb stroked the soft skin in a comforting manner. Ciel, out of instinct, leaned into the loving touch while he continued to keep eye contact with Sebastian. He knew the demon would be giving a speech as to why he needs to stay with his fiancée so he had to keep his focus though he really did not want to.
"Young master, I know you have feelings for me. You have told me numerous times about it. Listen to me now though…I have loved you for a long time that much is very true. I always will as well but it is more appropriate for you to marry Lady Elizabeth. It will make you look more professional later on and everything else." While listening, he nodded a bit to show he comprehended what his butler was talking about but he could not shake the sad feeling in the pit of his stomach. He wanted nothing more than to be with Sebastian, to claim him for good as his own but he knows the butler is correct in his words.
"I loathe all of this so much Sebastian." He voiced, his eye shifting to look down at the carpet. Sebastian offered a slight nod in agreement before he knelt down to be eye level with Ciel to ensure he was not crying or anything else. The demon proceeded to lean forward, placing a deep, wet kiss on the younger male's lips. Ciel's cheeks grew a bit heated as they turn a gentle pink color as the kiss ended up deep and passionate. He leaned in a bit to deepen the breathtaking kiss even more. His eye closed to focus his full attention on making the kiss deeper and more loving for the time he had. The raven eventually pulled away slowly, a small smirk crossing his lips.
"I propose a deal, Ciel." He requested while keeping the smirk although it grew wider. The younger male, while maintaining a soft blush on his cheeks, regained his thoughts since the kiss made everything go blank.
"A-And what w-would that be?" He stuttered quietly while still attempting to comprehend his surroundings. The demon swiftly and gracefully moves to stand behind Ciel, his smirk holding a devious look. He bent down so his mouth was next to his master's ear.
"If you go through this date with Lady Elizabeth and be /nice/ to her, I will reward you with many pleasures tonight and do as you wish, my Lord." He licked up the shell of the younger's ear after whispering the compromise to him, resulting in his small body to shudder. A grin appeared on Ciel's face and he nodded, strutting away from Sebastian.
"You have yourself a deal, my love." He stated before grinning more. He then walked to the door, opening it up quickly and walking out into the hall. Ciel head turned around to look back at Sebastian, who was still in the same spot with the same smirk firmly planted on his lips. The younger shook his head a bit before starting his journey to his own room.
"Are you coming? Lizzy will be here very soon and I must change into the proper attire to please her." The young master told him. The butler nodded and followed behind his master into his bedroom, moving to the dresser to pull out his new outfit. He laid out the fabric on the bed before unclothing Ciel and dressing him in the fancier material.
