"Learning to dance is such a pain."
The young earl groaned.
It was in the middle of the afternoon when Ciel and Sebastian made their way down the hallway at a slow pace. It was time yet again for another dance lesson.
"But young master,"
Sebastian held back a snicker and put his hand lightly on his lips.
"Your so much fun to watch, I'm sure if you invited guests over, nobody would ever dare to be bored." Sebastian finished.
Ciel averted his head sharply with an annoyed glare at his butler.
"Oh, shut up." He said quickly.
"I know your just mocking me."
"Young master, you misunderstand me." Sebastian spoke with an amused grin as the two entered the wide room.
At first, Ciel expected to see his regular dance tutor, but she was nowhere seen.
"Where is Mrs. Telska?" Ciel asked his butler. "You told me she had arrived and was waiting for me."
Sebastian put his hand on his forehead. "Ah, that's right, It slipped my mind. Mrs. Telska couldn't...make it today." Sebastian gave a small nod with a hidden smile.
"What? How could you forget something like that? I don't need to waste my time here then."
Ciel turned to exit the room but was stopped by his butlers voice.
"Wait young master, you shouldn't give up just yet, I have an idea. Your lesson can still go on as planned, you'll just have a different teacher."
Ciel turned towards him, not liking the conversation at all.
"What..?"
Sebastian bowed in front if his master.
"I will be your dance instructor."
With a scrunch if his nose, Ciel scowled. "Absolutely not! Such an action to take place would be below my dignity."
"But master..." Sebastian started.
"You had no problem dressing up as a lady at Viscount Druits party. Surely this is nothing for you."
He titled his head with a mischievous expression.
"But then again, you are a child I suppose, Hm."
With a growl, Ciel spun around. "Fine! I'll go along with the horrid dance lesson for status sake only. "
He reluctantly stepped towards Sebastian.
"This better be worth it..."
The butler smiled.
"Have no fear master, I am much experienced with dancing. "
He took the young masters hand and showed him the proper way to stand.
"Now, let's begin."
-—
Only six minutes had passed since the lesson began and Ciel had already tripped three times and stepped on Sebastian's foot.
"Are you feeling the elegance?" Sebastian teased with an amused smirk and glint in his eyes.
"What?" Ciel responded blushing from embarrassment. He tried to focus and follow Sebastian's instructions, but dancing was just not natural to the earl. He fumbled and twisted on his feet, but he was improving a little since they started.
"Very good young master." Sebastian encouraged the boy.
"Lead with this foot, yes your doing it right this time, keep going."
A few more minutes passed-
'Im doing it, finally.' Ciel thought to himself. He was still no professional but at least he was improving.
An hour had passed by now since the two has stated dancing, and Ciel was rather getting weary of it.
"That's enough for now. Until the next lesson." Sebastian said promptly releasing Ciels hand.
Ciel huffed out a breath.
"It was all torturous from the start." The earl spoke flatly, but was happy it was done.
"You flatter me, master." Sebastian smirked and put his hand on his chest.
"Hm. But now I must carry on with my other duties. Come, Sebastian." The young boy began to walk for the door briskly, wanting to forget all about dancing.
"Yes sir," Sebastian replied calmly and followed close behind.
As the two exited the room, they were both silent. No words were exchanged.
When they started walking down a flight of stairs, Ciel looked down and lost his footing on a step. With a yell, he flew forward and heard a strange, but quick tear-like noise. Ciel's eyes locked onto the floor and watched it fly up closer to his face. He closed his eyes on instinct but never hit the ground.
"Young master, are you alright ?"
Ciel opened his eyes.
"Ah...um, yes I'm alright"
Sebastian held onto his master steadily, and then set him down firmly on his feet.
"You must watch your step, are you feeling alright, master? Was the dancing lesson that tedious?" He asked.
"No I'm fine..." Ciel said annoyed and a bit more embarrassed since he practically almost fell down a flight of stairs right in front of his butler.
"I just need to sit down, and get to work." Ciel said sternly and stomped off quickly.
"Yes of course, sir..."
Sebastian watched his master strut off into the hallway. But something out if place caught the butlers eye. His jaw dropped open halfway and he covered his mouth with a gloved hand, stifling a huge laugh.
Sebastian's eyes had locked onto his masters pants.
There, in the back, from top to end, was a large rip.
