Ciel woke up early to make breakfast for his master. While he did have a master before this, they never made him cook, so he would have to figure this out on his own. He went to Sebastian's room to look up what types of breakfast foods people eat in America. He examined the computer, struggling to find the on button. The computer didn't seem to have much buttons, so he tried slamming ht keyboard and clicking randomly with the mouse in an attempt to turn it con. Ciel would ask for help, but that would be too embarrassing.
Butlers don't ever need help from their master. It's just a disgrace.
Then he got some brilliant idea and decided to look at the back and finally turned it on.
That took longer than necessary.
He logged on and looked up "popular American breakfast foods", and scrolled through pictures of pancakes and waffles with maple syrup and various types of fruit with sides of bacon, eggs, sausage, and hash browns. Then he read the recipes.
How am I supposed to make this?
If only he thought about this beforehand. He was tempted to wake Sebastian up and ask him what he liked to eat, but he felt like he should already know that, as his loyal servant. Ciel rubbed his temples, What kind of butler am I if I can't even cook a simple meal or even decide what to make?
No, calm down. These thoughts are pointless and won't get you anywhere. Just try and make something simple.

At the kitchen Ciel found some bacon he could just microwave, and added an orange and a glass of water on the side when the bacon was done. This should be good enough.
"Sebastian," Ciel said as he gently shook Sebastian,"It's time to wake up. I made you breakfast."
Sebastian opened his eyes and stretched a little,"What is it?" He said, his voice groggy.
Ciel smiled in a slightly seductive way ,"You will find out if you come downstairs"
Sebastian eagerly hopped out of bed and went downstairs. His butler followed closely behind.
Ciel pulled out a chair for Sebastian in an attempt to act polite. Sebastian gave him a weird look before sitting down, then took a sip of the water Ciel put out. He sighed, "Don't you know that water tastes terrible in the morning?"
Ciel shook his head, "No, demons can't taste human food."
Sebastian chuckled, "I'll take it that humans can't taste human souls then."
Ciel laughed along with him,"Of course not, you aren't even capable of eating them!"
Sebastian picked of a piece of bacon and took a bite out of it,"How do they taste? Sweet? salty? spicy?"
"Well I'm not a hundred percent sure on what you mean by sweet, salty, and spicy, but every soul tastes different," Ciel said.
"You didn't answer my question."
Curious little human are you?
"Well, humans couldn't comprehend how a soul tastes, but I think the best thing to compare it to are emotions. The higher the emotional intensity, the better the taste," Ciel explained.
Sebastian was so concentrated on this conversation that he forgot all about his poor quality food,"So, what type of emotions do you like?"
Ciel just smirked, "It would ruin the fun if I told you that. Now why don't you eat your food while you still can."
Sebastian gave Ciel a confused look, but then picked up the orange and began to peal it,"You make weird breakfasts. Why can't you make hash browns or something like that?"
"I will make that tomorrow," Ciel promised.
"Good, 'cause you suck at microwaving bacon. Have you ever cooked anything in your life?"
Ciel looked down in embarrassment, "No," He admitted.
"Well you better learn," Sebastian said,"I am looking forward to good food."

Later that day, at the local morgue shop, many people could hear The Undertaker was laughing hysterically,"You always tell the best jokes. Now what do you want?" He asked, still laughing.
Ciel looked away in embarrassment. He couldn't believe that he actually did that, "Well I just want to get a soul back."
The Undertaker got his composure together, and looked rather interested, "Oh, who's soul do you want?"
"My master's boyfriend's," Ciel answered.
"Aww, how cute. You want your master to be happy."
"It's not like that. I'm just following orders," Ciel said.
The Undertaker pushed by with gray bangs out of his face, revealing some lime, green eyes,"You did heal it, right?"
"Of course, but I do find it odd how I've seen him with dark hair and nice eyebrows in pictures, but when I went to freeze him, his body was completely hairless. Is there a disease that causes humans to lose their hair?" Ciel asked.
"I'm sure there's plenty, but he most likely had cancer, "The Undertaker explained.
"Oh I never heard of that, I guess I'll look that up," Ciel said.
"You haven't heard about that disease? It's quite common. I would say about half my clients loved ones die from it. You really need to get more in touch with humanity if you're gonna serve one," The Undertaker said.
I don't need to get in better touch with humanity. You just need to mind your own business and do what I ask!
"What do you think I'm trying to do? I have a human master and he wants me to get his poor little boyfriend's soul back, and I need you to do it for me!" Ciel said, raising his voice more than he intended to.
The Undertaker chuckled, "Don't get me wrong, you're good at telling jokes and all, but you'll have to do much better than that. Why not do something more foolish? Like a human."
"You mean you want me to humiliate myself?"
"Yeah, that is the price for a soul," He said, "But you're on the right track, so it shouldn't be too hard for you. "
Ciel shot an angry glare at The Undertaker,"If that's what you want, then fine. What exactly am I supposed to do anyway?"
"I will leave that up to you."
"Where do you want us to meet when I do this embarrassing thing?"
"We don't need to meet anywhere since I will be following you around. Is there any place off limits for me?" The Undertaker replied.
"No bathrooms or anywhere that you can get perverted glances of my master!" Ciel warned,"If I catch you then you will be in trouble."
"Of course, I will respect your privacy. I can't wait to see what you come up with."
