"This is not my Butler!" or you can call this "Beyond is one hell of a butler." :)
(This is following the manga and the anime. But mostly the anime since I don't have all the volumes. )
Chapter II
.
.
.
"I am the butler of the Phantomhive family." Beyond stated, "It goes without saying that I can manage a technique as elementary as this."
Beyond smiled and glanced at the young Earl whom was sitting on a chair, his face bored and uninterested.
"...Now then, Young Master. As I have won this battle..." Beyond started, referring to the battle he had against the 'Tiger Technique' dude not too long ago. Beyond continued, "Please review what you did today and prepare for tomorrow's lessons until dinnertime, as promised."
"Y-You are amazing, Beyond!" Finnian, the Phantomhive's Gardner, stated with a glint of excitement in his voice. "That makes fifty wins in a row!"
"That's my- Er, that's mister Beyond to you." Mey-rin, the Phantomhive's maid, said with a blushing face.
Baldroy, the Phantomhive's chef, chuckled, "Ain't our butler flippin' awesome?"
Ciel sighed and rubbed his temple, "And after I went to the trouble of going to mysterious lands to bring back an expert in Chinese martial arts..." he said, "I thought for sure today will be the day I would see you down on your knees..."
Beyond smiled, once again, "That is most unfortunate, sir."
Ciel nodded, "I see. Very well, then."
Beyond blinked and glanced at the three people behind him, "What are you three doing here?" he snarled.
Beyond pinched the bridge of his nose and walked up to the three.
"Finny," Beyond started, "Have you finished weeding the inner court-yard?" he asked.
Finny stared at him and silently let his head fall in a depressed manner, "No..."
Beyond sighed and looked at the other two whom also shook they heads.
"If you all have the time to dally and socialize here, GO DO SOME WORK!" Beyond shouted.
"Speaking of work... Sebastian." Tanaka, the house steward(?), said.
Ciel stood up from his chair. Beyond was just like Sebastian. How?
"Sebas- Umm... Beyond, I have gotten a call from Chlaus in Italy." Ciel stated, "I need to talk to you about it. Come." Ciel demanded.
Beyond nodded and followed after. "Yes, sir."
- Time Skip "Chlaus is gone, whatever." It's the end of the day. (Because I don't want to actually copy everything from the manga down. ) -
Ciel sighed for the millionth time that day and sat at the edge of his bed.
This was just crazy. Beyond was just like Sebastian. And more obedient, much more obedient. Of course, Sebastain was, too. But there was something more in Beyond, and Ciel couldn't put his finger on it. Why is Beyond here? Finnian, Mey-rin, Baldroy, and even Tanaka act as if nothing changed. It is as if, Beyond was always there instead of Sebastian. But why can't he remember? Is he going insane? What going on?
Ciel was soon interrupted from his thoughts due to a silent knock coming from just outside his wooden door. Ciel sighed, yet once again. Speaking of Beyond...
"You may enter..." Ciel said.
As if on cue, the door slowly creaked open and Beyond emerged from behind it, his blood-red eyes gleaming. Ciel shivered. It was intoxicating.
Beyond raised an eyebrow as he approached the young Earl.
"Is something wrong, Bocchan?" Beyond asked, kneeling down in front of him and starting to take off the young one's boots(whatever they are called).
"Oh, nothing." Ciel scoffed, raising his leg slightly to make the job easier for the man.
"The day had gone well." Beyond said, intending to build a small conversation. Ciel simply nodded.
"I guess so." he whispered, yawning.
"Oh, they have your walking stick ready." Beyond stated, peeling off the stocking from the young Earl's leg slightly and carefully.
"...Great." Ciel said, clearly uninterested at the moment.
Beyond took note on Ciel not clearly pleased and simply shrugged it off, he stood up and began to take off Ciel's coat.
Ciel stared at Beyond with soft eyed. He was quite... handsome.
Wait... what?
Ciel blushed at the thought and looked away. No. He can't think of his "butler" that way. It's... wrong. Is it?
Beyond stared at Ciel with confused red eyed. "Young Master..." he began, his voice soft and soothing, "are you... uncomfortable with me undressing you?" he asked, taking a step back and giving the young one space.
Ciel shot his head up. "Don't be ridiculous. Of course not." he scolded, "continue, yes?"
Beyond nodded, "As you say." he whispered and continued the process and changing the young Earl into his night clothes.
"Very well, I assume I have finished." Beyond said, "Please rest, sir."
Beyond bowed and made his way to the door, grabbing the candelabra on his way.
"Beyond." Ciel blurted out.
Beyond stopped dead on his tracks and turned to face the young Earl. "Yes?"
"U-Umm..." Ciel shook his head, "Nothing."
"Very well, please sleep." he said before bowing once more and walking out, shutting the door silently behind him on his way out.
Ciel sighed, probably not today.
Not today what, Ciel? ;D Hope you enjoyed this! Please leave me a review! I love reviews, they make me all tingly inside! x3
