~At the Phantomhive residence~
"Bocchan," Sebastian began. The butler shook his head as he continued to circle he young master that is sprawled on the over sized sofa. I suppose that these actions were caused by his hormones...or puberty, but this is a bit over the line...
"Your actions today, they surprised me. Why were you lying on the bed with Alois-san?" Sebastian questioned. His eyes narrowed a little, but did not make his tone threatening. This is his master that he's talking to.
"Y-you saw m-me and Alois lying on the same b-bed?" Ciel shuddered. Oh shit shit shit... he really did see. Wait... Sebastian said he saw me lying in the bed with Alois, is that all he saw, just me in the bed? Nothing else? Oh. My. God! Please be that way!
"You saw that, only that me and Alois...in the bed."
"Why yes bocchan." Sebastian answered smoothly.
"Oh. Ok then. Um... I was with him because... I-I was playing a game with Alois," Ciel blurted out.
"Oh," the butler raised an eyebrow is amusement. "And what were you playing, exactly bocchan?"
"T-tag. We were playing tag. I was it, so I was running around the whole Trancy mansion to try to find him. I refuse to lose to that ignorant boy. I found Alois hiding in the big walk-in closet in that room. I dragged him out of the closet and onto the bed. I was sweating because of the running and A-Alois was sweating because he was... uh, in um... the closet. We decided to take a break, and I was very tired, so we ended up sharing the same bed. It was sweaty and gross, but I was too tired to care." The noirette finished, satisfied with his lie. Let's see you top that Sebastian. Ciel smiled triumphantly in his mind.
"I see, but why was Alois-san dressed in that...outfit of his, hmm?" was Sebastian's comeback
Ciel's mind went blank. Damn, he had forgotten about the dress.
"Uh, he was dressed up like that so... it would be harder for me to uh...find him, because if he wore normal clothes, it would stand out to um, the girly ones. So he dressed like that so I wouldn't find him that easily." Ciel stuttered, trying to breath regularly.
Sebastian nodded, "Of course bocchan, now, would you like some dessert?"
"Make it so." The Futom boy waved off the butler. Silently thanking that Sebastian did not question anything else.
"Bocchan, Alois-san has arrived. It seems as that he invited himself over to see you."
Ciel groaned. What? Alois is here? When the bloody hell did he tell me that he was coming? The noirette forced himself out of the couch and lazily walked down the grand staircase.
"Ciel!" Alois grinned and pounced on Ciel. Smothering the younger boy with a bear hug and a frenzy of pecks when the butlers weren't looking.
"Alo-Alois! Get off me!" Ciel managed to save from the abusive greeting.
"Meh, I was bored, nothing but fat old men. You know, the usual. I missed you." the blond replied, finally getting over the greeting.
"Ciel my boy, " called a stern but motherly voice. It was Madame Red, and following her were Elizabeth and her maid Paula.
"Cieluuuuuuu~" the young girl whined. Her heels clicking , curls flying as she ran towards Ciel. She twirled him around.
"My. my, isn't this a full house," Lau commented. Ranmao nodded in agreement.
"Sebastian," Ciel twitched, "Why are all these people here?"
"Why don't you remember bocchan? It was scheduled that you were to hold a year end meeting to discuss financial issues, followed by the small tea gathering." Informed the butler, not too pleased that his young master is forgetting all of this.
Ciel exhaled slowly. His mind whirring as the group sat down, and dove head first into the grabbing of money.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Two hours later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"This aroma, Earl Grey is it not?" Ciel barely spoke as he took a long sip of the drink, behind him, Sebastian merely nodded.
After the tea sipping, everyone sat down in the grand hall, Madame Red and Lau playing an intense game of chess.
"Elizabeth my dear, why don't you go and play with the boys while I...settle this with Lau-san." The red wearing woman said. Not even looking up as she was fully intrigued in beating Lau.
"Ok!" The overly excited girl skipped down to the two earls. Linking both her arms with the other two. "So, what are we going to do?"
Alois beat Ciel in speaking up.
"Why don't we play house? We could all dress up." The Trancy boy suggested, raising a suspicious black bag.
Lizzy didn't seem to notice as she squealed at the idea.
"Ok! I'm the mother! Ciel can be the dad and Alois-kun can be the brother."
"Hmm, how about you be the Lady, I'll be the Earl, and Ciel can serve us?" Alois asked innocently to the unknown girl.
Ciel was insulted by that, "Hey, why is it that I'm the servant?"
Elizabeth pondered at that, but finally, she nodded.
"Ok, we'll go to Ciel's old play room. I'll get something to wear, and you will too!" Lizzy marveled at her direction, "We'll meet up in the room to play!"
Alois grinned, "Perfect"
Hearing the footsteps of the blond girl's disappear, Alois grabbed Ciel's hands and rushed to the nearest room. Slamming the door, Alois thrust the bag into Ciel's hands.
"Here, put this on while I dress up." Alois said, unbuttoning his shirt.
Ciel was a bit bewildered at this, "Are you really willing to keep Elizabeth company? You know we can just tell Paula to do th-"
Alois scowled.
"No. The least I care about is the blond girl. I just want you to wear the maid outfit. Remember our deal?"
Ciel's face flushed at Alois's reminder. He did forget the deal, and the last thing he wanted was for someone else to see.
"Al-Alois, uh, how about we don't do this...I'll even agree to do this another time. Please! It's bad enough I have to do it, now Lizzy has to see? I'll be so embarrassed for the rest of my life that I'll never be able to look at myself again."
Alois rolled his eyes at Ciel's plea.
" A deal is a deal. I don't care if the queen herself sees you dressed like this, you're still going to do it. Now get in the fucking costume and let's go." The blond finished with a smirk and fiddled with the last button of the suit.
Twelve minutes later, Ciel was fixing the lace-y cap on his head and rigidly walking behind Alois, trying to sink in a hole. The noirette had a corset top on that is black. The center is white silk with black ribbon cris-crossing towards the middle. The bottom was a frilly black skirt that was too short. Revealing vanilla skin. His legs were concealed by a classic pair of stockings, followed by Mary Jane shoes.
The door to the play room was opened, and Elizabeth got an eyeful of Ciel is his "costume"
The blond girl's eyes widened, her face got red and her moth dropped opened.
"PPPFFFTTTT"
...PPPFFTTTTT!
