It was only five p.m. and Ciel was already yawning from his days work. Ciel sat his desk, sorting out papers and going through potential contracts and business deals. He looked at the clock hanging above his double wide doors, counted the time until dinner, and hoped to quickly wrap up his agendas for the day. He could hear Finny and Bard walking upstairs talking about their after shift plans and sighed to himself. He needed a day off. Thirty minutes passed by and Sebastian gently knocks on the door to Ciel's room and enters to bring his young master his tea.
"Here you are, young master." Sebastian smiles gently and places a small cup of Earl Grey tea on a small plate on the corner of the desk. "How is work coming along?" Sebastian asked upon seeing Ciel signing papers while resting his head on his arms.
"Tiring. Boring." Ciel answers trying to hold back another yawn.
"Shall we take a break for today and resume tomorrow, young master?"
"No, I think tomorrow I'll go out." Ciel proposed his plan to take a day off. Sebastian stayed quiet for a moment before speaking.
"Young, master. Tomorrow there are many meetings and you still have quite a lot of papers that still need to be looked at for confirmation." Sebastian warily looks at Ciel who's staring back at him irritated.
"I don't care. Reschedule! I'm tired of paperwork!" Ciel raised his voice.
"I'm sorry, young master. That wont work. Tomorrow you must be at the meetings. Gerald Maret will be traveling here all the way from Germany." Sebastian tried to compromise with his stubborn young master. "Just take a break from the paper work tomorrow. Now, try to remove that sully look from your face."
"I'm not attending. Reschedule it." Ciel crossed his arms. He refused to budget.
"Young master, I'm not in a position or a mood to argue with you. Now come downstairs, dinner is ready."
The rest of the night was quiet. Ciel ate dinner, which was served beautifully by Sebastian, was put to bed where he read his favorite book, and eventually very late in the evening fell asleep. Next thing Ciel remembered is opening his eyes to Sebastian opening his blinds to reveal the sun and serving him his morning tea. Sebastian quickly dressed Ciel and proceeded to list his daily tasks.
"Sebastian, didn't I tell you that today I was taking a day off." Ciel menacingly stared up at Sebastian.
"Young master, I told you that was impossible. Today is too busy, let's go out tomorrow. Gerald Maret will be here at four p.m., so you have ten hours." Sebastian tried to plea with his stubborn master once again. Ciel turned his head to the side, pouting. Soon after Sebastian served Ciel breakfast and Ciel found himself once again in his bedroom doing paperwork. Ciel continuously looked at the clock. It was 11:14 in the morning. He finally got up and looked out the window. It was nice outside; the air was cool and Ciel was steaming that he was being forced into his room on this gorgeous day. I'm done with work. Ciel thought as he picked up his landline and dialed for a horse and carriage. He was taking his day off. Ciel waited a few minutes then walked downstairs to get his shoes on.
"Young master? What're you doing?" Sebastian asked annoyed as he walked down the stairs to check on what the noise was about.
"I'm going to the city. You don't need to accompany me." Ciel spoke and went to turn around until Sebastian grabbed his arm.
"I told you that someone is coming to meet you in a few hours." Sebastian argued.
"And I told you to reschedule." Ciel barked back as he yanked his arm away.
"Young master, you're being extremely childish. You need to be here when he arrives." Sebastian was getting mad.
"GO TO HELL!" Ciel screamed back before groaning as Sebastian roughly grabs his chin to force eye contact.
"I'm giving you this warning, young master. I won't stop you from leaving, but if you're not here before your meeting today at FOUR, then you will be severely punished. Do you understand?"
"You can't touch me." Ciel spit back and stomped out of the room, slamming the door, leaving Sebastian standing there fuming.
