Chapter 3: Naughty Babysitter

"Do you really think I'm serious?" Ciel laughed. "You should look at yourself in the mirror. Your expression is priceless!" He couldn't stop laughing. All of a sudden, Sebastian slid his hand under the towel and got a hold of his cock, making him jolt. "H-Hey, what are you doing?!"

"Just following orders, you idiot," Sebastian told him and leaned down to whisper into Ciel's ear. "This is payback."

How was this payback? Ciel held on to the edged of the tub as the babysitter stroked his shaft vigorously. "You have to be... kidding me," Ciel managed to say. He felt electricity running throughout his body and gathering in his crotch, and he bent his legs, but Sebastian wouldn't stop. For some reason he couldn't stop him. "That's just an excuse."

"Doing something you don't want me to do is of my interest." Sebastian pressed his thumb on the tip of the young man's member. His crimson eyes watched Ciel giving in and moaning aloud, throwing his head backwards as he released under the towel. "That was quick. Just as I thought, you look better with your mouth shut."

Ciel panted. Now he knew why Sebastian's voice was so alluring. Whenever he spoke with emotion, good or bad, his tone changed and became seductive. He turned his half-lidded eyes up to his babysitter, who raised a brow. "You will pay for what you just did," he muttered and rinsed the coat of sweat from his body. He tried to stop his hands from shaking slightly. He didn't want Sebastian to see him affected. Their time together began to feel awkward, but he wouldn't show it since Sebastian couldn't care less about what he had done to him.

Back in Ciel's bedroom, he looked away as Sebastian tended for his injuries. He turned his eyes down to the babysitter's hand, the one he'd used earlier. "You're so unprofessional," he muttered and the babysitter slowly looked from the bandaged chest into Ciel's eyes, making Ciel clench his jaw. "You might know how to do things, but you also do others that you shouldn't. And your personality isn't fit to take care of someone like me."

Sebastian leaned back on the chair, folding his arms and closing his lips into a tight line. "Hmm... I have to say that my personality is perfect for this job. I'd be a complete idiot to be pushed around by you like a rag doll. Putting some boundaries in your personality is the best way to get you in your place. You might actually grow a lot more mature if you spend some time with me." He paused and reached for the tube of ointment. "Let's just say that I was meant to guide you somewhere."

Ciel scoffed. "You?! You can't even dress nicely, let alone guide me anywhere. And just because I talk like this to you doesn't mean it's the same to everyone else. You're the one who deserves this behavior in return." He knew full well that his babysitter hadn't done much to trigger such reactions from him, but he wouldn't let someone this... Ciel stopped his train of thought. What was wrong with Sebastian? What had he seen in the babysitter that he hadn't liked? Yes, now he understood. He wouldn't let someone this sloppy think of himself as someone above everyone else. Ciel stared at Sebastian's smirk, making him gulp. Sebastian was certainly hiding something about himself.

The doorbell rang, startling Ciel. He watched the babysitter standing and walking out of the room. That silence had been definitely awkward. He lay down on his side, sighing at his protesting, sore body. As he rested, all by himself, he couldn't help but to remember the beating. It sunk in immediately. Since he wasn't tired, he didn't fall asleep like the day before, so his mind replayed everything that had happened to him. Ciel slowly curled his body into a ball and wrapped his arms around his bent legs. He whimpered and gripped the clean bandage around his head. He wanted to rip it off. Why did he have to be in such a bad shape? No one could see him like this. He sobbed and buried his face into the pillow.

All of a sudden, the covers were yanked away. Sebastian grabbed Ciel's shoulders and sat him up.

Ciel looked up at the babysitter's frown. Even though Sebastian said nothing, it seemed that he didn't want Ciel to focus on what had happened. "Who was at the door?" he asked as he wiped his eyes carefully.

"Girl scouts," Sebastian answered. "They were selling cookies, so I bought a box from them. I left it in the kitchen." He sat back on the chair and fixed the bandage on Ciel's head. "You know, you shouldn't hide your emotions. It's bad for you. It's also my job to listen to you."

"But I have nothing to say," Ciel blurted and looked away. "Nothing would happen if you listened to me, so let's just leave it at that."

Sebastian raised a brow. "The more you hide, the more time I stay. If you talk to me, you'll feel lighter."

Ciel rolled his eyes. "As long as you don't bother me..." he trailed off. He did feel like talking to someone, but his babysitter? He sighed. "I'm not sure what to say. Well, it's not the pain that bothers me, this shit is a mental issue." Ciel gripped the covers. "I know that those... people were put behind bars, but how they left me—I'm broken." He looked up at Sebastian, feeling tears surfacing again. "Do you know what I mean?"

"Yes, you don't like the way you are now," Sebastian started and took a deep breath. "You don't want people to see you this vulnerable, and that's why you pretend to be strong. I assure you, you will breakdown at one point—Everyone does, but some hide it better than others."

Nodding once, Ciel looked down. "Do I really have to... breakdown in order to get better?"

"Not exactly." Sebastian opened the tube, poured ointment onto two of his fingers, and smeared it on the bruise under Ciel's right eye. "Distract yourself by trying to get me fired. It won't happen, but you can try."

Ciel grinned widely. "I will make it happen. Don't underestimate me, babysitter."

Sebastian threw his head back, laughing. "Give me your best shot, Mr. Stuck-in-bed."

The babysitter looked so deviously alluring that it annoyed Ciel. Sebastian needed to get ready to eat his own words.
