My Butler Forever Obedient

Ciel awoke to gentle rays of sunlight being let in through the thin inner curtain of his window as the thicker outer curtain was drawn away. The scent of tea leaves and hot water filled his lungs and beckoned him to get up. When Ciel did finally sit up and open his eyes, he saw his butler standing patiently with a tray in either hand. Sebastian still seemed cheerful to be his butler even though he would no longer get anything out of it. It was likely a charade, but Ciel accepted it.

Sebastian placed the tray containing breakfast food on the empty stand by the bed and expertly poured the hot water from a kettle into the tea leaves and through the strainer on the tray he still held. After the freshly brewed tea filled a delicate cup half an inch from the brim he kneeled on one knee and presented it to his master. Ciel took the cup and sipped it carefully, smiling to himself. Perfect flavor and perfect temperature as always.

Sebastian remained silently by the bed as his young master drank his morning tea and ate his breakfast slowly. He had provided a selection of croissants with various fruit and cheese fillings as well as three blueberry crepes. It's amazing that Sebastian was able to find blueberries in season this early in the spring time, but that much was to be expected. Ciel smiled as he mimicked Sebastian's voice in his head. 'A Phantomhive Butler who can't do this much isn't worth his salt.' After the city was destroyed and the fight with Claude had occurred the other servants had all left the manor to help rebuild the city. They said they would return when they were done, but Ciel didn't find that very likely.

After finishing his breakfast Ciel slid to the side of the bed and extended his legs. Sebastian swiftly moved the boy's trousers into place followed shortly by a pair of black silk socks and dark blue slippers. When Ciel stood the butler finished buttoning his trousers and deftly removed the boy's white bed shirt to replace it quickly with a black v-neck tee. Over the tee followed a long sleeved formal shirt, which was buttoned instantly by Sebastian. The final layer was a dark blue vest which was temporarily left unbuttoned. Sebastian produced a tie and moved to put it around Ciel's neck, but he stopped instantly when Ciel raised his hand.

He wasn't going to be seeing anybody important today. No need to get all dressed up. Sebastian finished with buttoning the blue vest and finally stood up before Ciel. Ciel was 15 now, but he still hardly reached his butler's shoulders. Very shortly after becoming a demon he had stopped growing at all and his features had stopped maturing. Perhaps the most noticeable difference would be that, at 15 years old, Ciel had no body hair at all. Not exactly something he minded, but it would be noticeable in the next few years by anyone who saw him shirtless or, God forbid, naked.

Sebastian began combing Ciel's dark hair gently. The blue tint in his hair had become more noticeable since his transformation, which a few people had commented on. "You look very handsome today, Young Master," Sebastian said softly as he continued to comb the boy's hair. Ciel parted his lips to respond but closed them before he could. That sort of thing was very strange to hear from his butler, particularly when Elizabeth wasn't around to embarrass him.

"All done," Sebastian said as he stood, straightening Ciel's clothes. "You don't have any appointments today, so it may be a good opportunity to approve some of the papers in your office."

Ciel sighed. Paperwork didn't suit him. He was the Queen's guard dog, he couldn't just sit and sign some papers all day. Regardless, there hadn't been much investigating for him and Sebastian to do lately. "I want to go to the lake," he said. Sebastian smiled and nodded.

"Yes, my Lord." Within moments Sebastian had several baskets ready to take with them and brought the carriage to the front of the estate. He held the door patiently for Ciel and put the baskets on the top before taking his place in the driver's seat. The carriage leaped into motion and traveled quickly down the road to the spacious lake on the manor's property. The carriage stopped and Sebastian opened the door for his young master.

Ciel stepped out carefully and began walking down to the water ahead of his butler, who was carrying the three baskets he had packed earlier. When Ciel made it to the edge of the water he used his feet to slip each of his slippers off of the other foot. He slipped off his black socks and timidly tested the water with his toes. It was cool, but not cold. He stepped in the water and enjoyed the contrast to the hot sun in the sky. He wouldn't dare go any further, as much as he wanted to. Elizabeth would kill him if he ruined his clothes, and Sebastian likely wouldn't stop her.

"Young master," Sebastian spoke up behind him. "I brought your bathing suit in case you wanted to swim." He held up the slim black swimming suit that Ciel had rarely worn. Ciel nodded and stepped out of the water, allowing Sebastian to adeptly undress him to his bare skin for a brief moment before sliding the tight stretchy shorts up his legs to rest snugly around his waist. The suit was also snug around his firm rear and, much to his embarrassment, his prominent crotch. 'It seems like all the growing I should have done height wise happened down there,' he thought.

Sebastian stood and smiled at his young master. Ciel looked down to hide the light blush in his cheeks. "Don't look at me like that," he muttered.

"Like what, Young Master?" Sebastian questioned with expertly feigned confusion. Ciel shook his head and turned away from the demon butler before running and jumping into the water. He completely submerged himself into the lake and opened his eyes. His eyes glowed in a red and purple duo and allowed him to see more clearly and farther than would be possible for a human. After a few minutes just floating beneath the water and enjoying not having to breath, Ciel finally resurfaced to see his loyal butler standing at the edge of the water.

"Sebastian!" he yelled to the demon standing patiently on the sand. "Come in and swim. You look so bored." A small smile decorated Sebastian's mouth and a gleam of amusement danced quickly across his eyes.

"No thank you, Young Master," he said kindly. "You enjoy the water. I'll watch our things." Ciel smacked the water in an attempt to splash Sebastian, the water falling short by several yards.

"Just get in the water," he said and crossed his arms in a pouting manner. The display elicited a giggle from the demon butler, but otherwise had no effect.

"I'm sorry Young Master," Sebastian said in yet another evasion of the matter, "but I didn't bring a swimsuit for myself. Perhaps next time I'll remember to do so." Ciel smiled and stuck his tongue out.

"Fine then," he said in a not-so-compromising tone. "Skinny dip then. The lake is on our property, and I doubt you have any shame." The boy removed his trunks underneath the water and threw them onto the dry ground. "See, I'm doing it too. Now get in."

Sebastian smiled and shook his head, loosening his tie only slightly. "Young Master, you do remember how to make me obey you, don't you?" Ciel blushed deeply and stared down at the water before snapping his gaze back to that of his butler.

"Sebastian, I order you to remove your clothes and come skinny dip with me." The Faustian Seal on his right eyes glowed purple as he commanded the demon, and in turn Sebastian's eyes glowed red.

"Yes, My Lord."
