"My lord?"
He could just barely hear a familiar voice... It seemed so far away...
"My looooord?"
He was probably going to have to respond to that voice sooner or later... But he was so cozy, & he didn't want to...
"... If you don't get up, you can't stop me from singing."
"You wouldn't."
"I would."
"You won't."
"I will."
"Sebastian, I swear-"
"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy when skies are grey..."
"... That's actually kind of nice."
"Get up."
Ciel held his arms up, smiling. "Carry me."
Sebastian sighed, pretending to be annoyed as he picked the boy up bridal style. He carried him to the kitchen as he continued to sing. "You'll never know, dear, how much I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away."
He sat him down at the kitchen table (came with the apartment).
"Sebastian, why are we in the kitchen?" the young demon asked.
"One moment, my lord."
Ciel couldn't really see, his vision was still blurry after having just woken up. However, he could hear something... Water? Was it the sink?
Before he had enough time to comprehend this, he saw Sebastian move towards him. He heard another peculiar noise...
...about half a second before he felt like he had just been thrown in a river, & looked down to find himself completely drenched!
"What the-Sebastian!"
Sebastian stood over him, a rather large & slightly wet bowl in hand. "Are you awake now, sunshine?"
"Yes, but-"
"Great. Now go get changed."
"Why...?"
"We're going out. All day."
"Wha-All day? But aren't you supposed to be working?"
"I asked for the day off."
"You only work, like, two days a week. Couldn't this wait until tomorrow, whatever it is?"
"No, no it can't."
"Why no-"
"Because. Now go get changed."
Ciel rolled his eyes. "Fine."
After he left, Sebastian let out a sigh. The truth was that he needed to get this over with as soon as possible. The longer he took, the more he thought about Ciel, the more the chances of their "love" becoming mutual increased, the more dangerous this became, & the possibility of him not only losing Ciel's soul forever, but turning into a human was getting higher & higher.
This was bad. This was very bad. He hadn't been expecting this... Oh, that brat! Why did he have to be so...wonderful?!
Ciel got dressed in jeans, a white T-shirt, & a navy blue sweater, figuring he would just have to make do with his slightly damp hair.
There was a knock on his door. "Are you ready?"
Ciel opened the door. Sebastian was dressed normally, in his white dress shirt, the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, & his black slacks that matched his tie.
"Where did you say we were going again?"
"I didn't. Come on, now." He took his arm & lead him outside.
Ciel didn't talk again until they are on the sidewalk. "So, where are we going?"
"I don't know. Haven't planned that much out yet."
"So we're going nowhere."
"We're going somewhere, I just don't know where."
Ciel groaned & followed his butler to somewhere. If Sebastian have anywhere in mind, he clearly wasn't saying anything.
But what neither of them knew was that they were being watched. That someone had been watching them. Before this story started, even.
"My, that is low, Michaelis. And you're trying so hard not to fall in love..." The owner of the voice smirked.
"Well, it doesn't matter. The only thing he'll be tasting is bitter defeat. The moment my plan is put into action..." They pet the small bluebird that was perched in their hand. "... Revenge is good as mine."
"I'm not doing it."
"I won't force you to."
"... I'm not doing it."
"Fine, then." Sebastian was silent for a moment.
"... Don't say it."
Sebastien continued his silence, but slowly opened his mouth.
"Don't. Don't. Don't say it."
"Fine, then..."
"No. No. No. No. Don't say it."
"...chicken."
Ciel froze. Now he had to do it. He looked at the area before him. Pipes underground caused water to randomly shoot up in the concrete playground. Children in it were playing around and chasing each other, taking care not to slip. Their parents sat at nearby tables, reading and talking to each other, although most of them were on their phones. That was one of the things that the two demons hated about the 21st century; thanks to modern technology, humans were even more oblivious to what was right in front of them than usual. Even to things like their children growing up.
But that wasn't important right now. What was important was that someone had dared someone to run through the playground, & the latter wasn't too keen on getting wet for the second time that day, but he been called a chicken. That changed things.
So, Ciel took off his jacket, threw it at Sebastian, and got himself ready. After stretching, waiting until there was a somewhat clear path, and throwing a scowl at Sebastian, he ran through the playground, dodging children & trying to avoid getting soaked, but still getting completely drenched. Again.
When he had gotten across, he turned around and glared at Sebastian, who was laughing his head off. Completely forgetting about getting wet, Ciel stormed across the playground, holding his glare. The moment he was close enough, he grabbed Sebastian's arm & pulled him in. The older demon was soaking wet within three seconds.
Sebastian looked down at his attire. "My, that is the second you've ruined for the second day in a row." He looked up & cracked his knuckles. "Expect punishment, my lord. Dire punishment."
And before either of them knew it, they were chasing each other around, laughing when their enemy got squirted & yelling death threats at one another. A few people stared at them, but were soon back to their business, assuming the pair was a loving father and son, with a rather complicated relationship. Oh, but they had no idea...
"Alright how's that?" Sebastian said after taking the towel he was using to dry Ciel's hair off.
"Fine. My hair's a mess, but other than that...fine." Sebastien chuckled and kissed his forehead.
"Go get dressed. We can't have you going around in wet clothes," he said, putting the towel away.
Ciel nodded and went back to his room, picking out an outfit that was similar to the one he was wearing earlier. "Hey Sebastian!" he called as he pulled his jeans on.
"What is it?"
"I had fun today."
Sebastian was silent.
"More than I have in a while. I've...missed those times. Thank you."
"... You're welcome."
When Ciel was dressed, he went back out, expecting to see Sebastian, but was surprised to find him gone. His first instinct was to be worried, but he saw a letter on the couch.
It read; "I've gone out for a short while. I'll be back soon. Nothing to worry about."-Sebastian.
