Business as per usual at the Phantomhive manor, Ciel was up, dressed and had his morning fill all thanks to his trusty butler, Sebastian.
Ciel always headed off to his study first thing after breakfast, unless there was a visit from the Queen's butlers or then again the ever annoying Lizzy and so Sebastian was left to his normal duties.
Today was an easy enough day, not much would be happening. Although there was always a surprise visitor, as now the doorbell rang.
"My, my young master, having visitors at this time," Sebastian sighed, putting away his pocket watch that read 3:45.
No one was scheduled to arrive today anyway or so Sebastian thought.
"Ah Mister Sebastian good afternoon," Angela greeted, as she let herself in.
"What brings you here Angela?" Sebastian asked, rather cross at her rudeness.
"I'm so glad you could make it, Angela," Ciel called from the top of the stairs, he was now descending.
"Not at all young earl I received your letter just the other day and made my way over here as fast as possible," Angela replied taking out an envelope from her coat and holding it up to show Sebastian, a devilish smile crossing her face.
"Young master how is it I was not informed of her arrival," Sebastian asked, his face quite serious.
"Because Sebastian, I wanted to surprise you with our new maid."
"But master, what of Mey-Rin?"
"I did not state, I was getting rid of anyone did I? It's just that after Lord Barrymore's death, Angela was out of work, so I thought it wise to have her work for me. Besides why complain, I've hired you extra help have I not?"
"Yes master, I appreciate your kindness," Sebastian bowed.
"Well master what will you have me do?"
"I want you to help Sebastian in keeping those three in line."
"And you will start by moving that thing, its repulsive," Sebastian ordered, looking to the great demon hound that had somehow made its way round to the front of the manor.
Ciel cracked a smile. He loved having the demon hound around just to piss his butler off.
Angela bowed slightly with a smile, "Yes mister Sebastian."
Sebastian took her coat, before she went off to fulfil her duty.
"Hey look, its Angela," Finny called excitedly, to the other servants. Snake wasn't entirely interested and got on with the tasks assigned to him, in which he would be rewarded yet again by Sebastian.
"Angela," Finny shouted running to her.
"Hey Angela," Bard greeted.
"What brings you here, Angela?" Mey-Rin asked.
"Young Lord Phantomhive, asked me to come work for him," Angela replied, as she now sat with a fully clothed Pluto resting his head on her lap.
"Really?" Finny and Bard cried in unison.
"Yes, I had no work after the loss of Lord Barrymore."
"You three if you have time to talk, get back to work," Sebastian scolded.
"Yes sir," they all said, jumping out of their skin and heading back inside.
Angela sat with Pluto a little while longer. Sebastian on the other hand was now distracted by his black beauty, as he too now sat on the floor with a purring kitty on his knee.
Pluto had reverted to his hound form, as Angela had told him to rid the garden of any pests that were lurking nearby. She headed over to Sebastian and sat beside him.
"Sebastian we could be great together you and I," Angela told him, as she caressed his arm.
"Why would someone such as yourself be interested in someone like me? Are your kind not against my kind?"
"Yes that is true, but I am against my kind. The demon kind calls to me."
"Yes I know full well, you and that wretched hound," Sebastian replied with full disgust, "Although I have to say, I do not feel the same way."
"Do I not please you?"
"No you smell too much of him?" Sebastian plainly pointed to Pluto. He then petted the kitten one last time and headed inside, leaving Angela to sit by herself.
"So you have a thing against dogs and Angels," Angela said angrily to herself, "I shall teach you to just, push me aside Demon."
A few hours had passed. Sebastian had let Angela cook the master's meal as she insisted. They both then washed up in silence, as Ciel headed to his study for the remainder of the night.
Ciel had been feeling a little strange, he felt a little light headed and fell asleep not long after. Sebastian had come up to the study. He knocked and waited for a reply, there wasn't one so he just entered.
"Young master it is time for you to retire."
Still no reply, so he must be sleeping. Sebastian walked over to the chair and swung it round, but Ciel wasn't there. That's when he heard some light breathing from under the desk.
"How did you…." Sebastian started with a smile that soon disappeared.
"Sebastian," Ciel called looking up at his butler, only it didn't come out as he had expected, but as a low growl.
