It was a pleasant, sunny day in the Phantomhive household.
Maylene was polishing the grand staircase with shoe polish, Bard was cooking the dinner with a flame thrower, and Finny was mindlessly throwing a couple of trees around in the garden.
Sebastian, on the other hand, was being his usual perfect self, doing all household chores that were supposed to be done.
Every so often, he switched the can of shoe polish for a bucket of water, prepared sashimi for dinner while Bard "Roasted" the turkey, and replanted an uprooted tree.
It was all according to schedule, nothing was amiss in the household.
As expected of a servant of Phantomhive.
Or so he thought.

Ciel was in his office, conducting business over the phone.
He tapped his hand impatiently on the polished mahogany of his desk.
" I want the arrangements done by tomorrow." He was began to get annoyed. People of lower class had no right to be stubborn towards him.
".........."
" Why does that matter? Does it sound like I care?" Now, the conversation was beginning to bore him. How long would it take for them to understand that they should just shut up and listen to him?
Out of the corner of his eye, Ciel saw Sebastian silently glide in with afternoon tea.
The demon was almost like poetry in motion, silent like a black and white movie. Staring at Sebastian set up the platter made Ciel's mind wander.
The nimbleness of his gloved hand, elegantly tilting the teapot, and how it would feel against his skin, glove-less...........
His face burning, Ciel quickly turned the chair around so his back faced Sebastian.
" Don't push your luck, haven't I made my point clear? I want it done by tomorrow, or Funtom Company will consider dropping you as a partner." Feeling quite unerved, Ciel had decided to take it out over the phone.
Ciel smiled triumphantly. " I'm glad we came to an agreement. I'll send a messenger tomorrow."
With a click, he set down the phone.
Then he swiveled around to Sebastian who had finished setting the tea.
" Young Master, today we have coconut custard and rhubarb crumble. To compliment the snacks we have oolong tea."
Ciel nodded his approval and daintly picked up his fork.
First he tried the rhubarb crumble, and noted that the flavor was quite sweet, but not at all overwhelming.
Just as expected of Sebastian.
"Young Master, today have we finished our business with our partner, Googlefrump and Company?"
Ciel smiled.
" After they deliver the package, inform the board to drop them."
The demon looked admiringly at his charge and said, " Did they say something to offend you?"
Ciel frowned, and took another bite of rhubarb.
" They said that with all the candy that Funtom Company made, they were surprised that my mouth wasn't full of cavities."
Sebastian chuckled, and poured another cup of tea.
" Well, Young Master, you never know."
The boy replied by shoving away the half eaten rhubarb and starting on the coconut custard. " On other matters, how is everything going with the servants?"
Now Sebastian frowned.
" They are the same as usual."
" Ah. How many turkeys did Bard fry today?"
The demon kept his cool, and replied, " We have sushi for dinner tonight."
Ciel smiled sweetly and took another bite of the custard.
" And I suppose that Finny has broke----"
He stopped mid-sentence, or rather mid-chew.
His fork dropped, and his hand flew to his cheek.
" No. It can't be. "
Sebastian looked at Ciel, alarmed.
" Young Master?"
