Cleaning the manor was always an everyday chore. Mostly due to the fact the house could get dirty rather quickly, especially in the summer months. Dust clung to the furniture and glass vases like a leech getting a meal from the person it was clinging to. But that was simpler than most of his tasks. On Sundays however Sebastian's chores were different. While on Monday through Saturday he had to ensure the house was polished so clean it sparkled. Sunday was a slow day, which meant only one thing. Laundry day.

He shuddered as he hated it so much. But it had to get done, or no one would have clean clothes. Even if it was his day off he did the laundry on sunday religiously. Picking up his laundry basket, he started walking towards the laundry room in preparation to complete his task. He always took his laundry basket down to the laundry room last. And ensured the other servants knew to take their own to the room as well. Each person had their own basket which was placed in a specific spot so's not to confuse things. Not that it mattered much. But he was very particular about his laundry. Everything was color coordinated. Finni and Bards laundry was together due to being lightly colored or white. They wore white socks as part of their uniform, so any pair of white socks belonged to them since they shared. Maylene's was obvious of course. While he and Tanaka were given black socks for their uniform. But he didn't share. He didn't like the idea of sharing socks, not that it had anything to do with Tanaka. He was just picky that way. He couldn't understand how Finni and Bard could share even as much as their briefs. He shuddered again. The other servants sharing their clothes was the least of his problems.

He got to the door and prepared himself. Taking deep breaths before stepping in. He gagged and dropped his laundry basket instantly. The scent of dirty laundry overwhelming his nose. He ran out of the room for a moment and took a few breaths again. This was why he hated laundry day. He couldn't understand how people could get their clothes to smell so horribly. Strangely the servants were actually pretty good at getting baths everyday. To him it just didn't add up. Sighing he dug into his pocket for his handkerchief and tied it over his mouth and nose.

"Another Sunday of horrible smells." he stated aloud as he walked back in and picked up his dropped basket. He made a mental note to shove some poppuri in the dirty laundry to see if it'd make it smell better.

"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

Ciel smirked as he sat in his bed in his pajamas. He loved laundry day though he didn't do any of it. To see Sebastian's expressions each time was glorious to him. Though he personally didn't think they laundry smelt that horrible. Except maybe on a few occastions. But those were rare. Putting his newspaper down on his bed, he climbed out of bed and headed towards his destination. He loved to watch the demon do the laundry and wanted to see what form of expressions the demon would make this week. Sunday was also the day Sebastian didn't dress Ciel unless something important was going on. But otherwise he'd be dressed after the laundry was fresh and clean.

As he got closer to the his grin just got bigger and bigger. Soon he was at the door. And he was simply beaming with a smile. Sebastian had more than likely only gotten there a few minutes before. Opening the door he saw the demon sorting the laundry by color, stains, and a pile he deemed was just better to burn it than to salvage it. He smiled as he saw that pile mostly consisted of Finni and Bard's stuff. Holely white socks and underwear with a plain shirt or two.

"Honestly how do they ruin so many so quickly?" Sebastian complained as he tossed another white sock into the burn pile. "It's like every month they need new underwear and socks." he muttered as he inspected a shirt.

Ciel took a seat in a chair as he watched. This was probably the most casual he could ever see the demon. Sebastian was in nothing but a pair of his butler slacks, and shirt. Sitting crosslegged on the floor as he sorted through it all. He wondered if the demon was just comfortable in his uniform or if it was all he had. He never looked at the demon's wardrobe before, but he was rather sure Sebastian didn't have much else. "Having fun?" he teased.

Sebastian scoffed at his master as he started looking at Maylene's apron to inspect it. "Every month we get them new socks and underwear. And by the end of the month Finni and Bard always need new ones. Do they put them with moths to eat?"

"I dunno. But I would think the smell of their laundry would kill the moths." he grinned.

"Possibly. I'm surprised the whole house doesn't stink of their laundry. I can only imagine if we did the laundry once every month instead of per week."

Ciel started swinging his legs as he had his hands in front of him to hold the front of the chair. "I don't think anyone of us has enough laundry for a month."

"Have you seen your wardrobe young master? You have enough for 3 months. Though I will admit soon we shall have to go through them and remove the clothes that no longer fit." he tossed the apron in the white pile.

"I would think as a demon the moment I blink the laundry would of been done."

"Well young master, i'm very particular about the laundry. One cannot simply toss everything in the wash and be done with it. There's color sorting, certain stains that need presoaking. Darker colors that have to be washed separately. Some can only be washed by hand as well."

"Even so your a demon. You should have this done in under five minutes." he grinned. "Or perhaps you just can't."

"I could if I wanted to young master. But since it's a slow day i'm going to take my time. If the young master does not like it he can simply go do some work." he stated with annoyance. He hated it when his master watched him do the laundry. He knew his master was only stating a fact for his own amusement. But it still annoyed him greatly.

"Se...Sebastian..." Maylene gripped the door frame as she looked that butler sitting on the floor. Seeing him sit so casually made her blush and wish she was the pile of laundry.

"What is it?" he tossed her maid uniform to the dark colors pile.

"Umm...I...could you..." she was clearly embarassed. "I..had abit of an accident."

Sebastian visibly sighed as his head fell forward. "What's broken?" he didn't need to deal with this at the moment. The laundry needed to be sorted.

"Not that...it's just..." she slowly walked forward and held out her fists to him. Making him look up at her and blink at her in confusion. Her hands were completely trembling.

"Well what is it?" he shouted. He hated that she was standing there instead of telling him.

"Pa...pan.." she shook and blushed even more. "My favorite...pan...panties..." she squeeked. "Per...per...i...oodd.." she stuttered. Opening her hands to reveal a handkerchief with held the item forementioned.

Sebastian's mouth was hanging open in complete shock. Never had he been requested to wash a woman's garments when her cycle had stained them. Not even his mother had him do that. This was also the first time in all the time he'd known Maylene, that'd she'd every had such an accident. "Uhh...I...o...kay?" he slowly pick up the handkerchief and watched her run off in complete embarassment.

Ciel had watched her run off as red as a tomato as well. "What's with her?" he looked back at the demon who was clearly blushing himself. But it was light. "On second thought, what's with you?" he smirked. He couldn't imagine Sebastian being embarassed over a pair of panties, so to see it was just beautiful in his eyes.

Sebastian dropped the item and put his face in his hands. "How embarassing!" he shouted. He wanted to curl up into a ball and die. He was used to cleaning Maylene's panties weekly, but this was different. This was her panties with her monthy lady markings. "Ahh!" he jumped when he remembered the item was still in front of him and tossed it into a nearby empty bucket. Getting up to grab a bottle and pouring it in the bucket with some water. As soon as he was done he backed away like it was possed and kept eyeing as if some sort of monster would pop out.

Ciel was probably the happiest child on the planet right then. He got to see his perfect demon butler freak out over a pair of woman's panties. Was priceless. "What's the big deal they are just panties."

"Young master they are not just panties. They are panties with Maylene's period stains on them." he glared at his master.

"So?"

"Young master don't play ignorant. You know very well what a period is."

"Yes, but I don't see why it's an issue with her panties." he stated bluntly.

"A man, be it demon or human should never have to see a woman's period panties. It's just not right!" He tossed a dirty towel into the whites pile. "It's disgusting! That's on par with Finni's crap stain briefs!"

"Finni has crap stains on his briefs?" he raised a brow.

"You know nothing of the horrors of the Phantomhive manor's laundry. I've seen things that could give you nightmares." he tossed a final pair of his pants into the darks pile and got up once more.

"I'm in here with you every week. How can I not see it?"

"Indeed you are in here ever week on Sunday, but you fail to realize that throughout the week some items are soaking to make it easier for things to wash. Sunday is just the day where the main washing happens." he started tossing the darks into the washing machine. Adding abit of soap before closing the lid. Picking up the burn pile he put them in a basket and started walking towards the incinerator outside.

"Apparently, I never knew Finni pooped his briefs."

"Indeed he needs another lesson on wiping after using the toilet. But that's actually better than Bard's sweaty socks."

Ciel laughed as he thought about that one. "Maybe we should sell them to the Royal Army to use as weapons." He remembered the first time his nose was assaulted with Bard's dirty sock smell. It was horrible. After that he made Bard put scented food powder in shoes which eased the smell. But only by so much.

Sebastian actually laughed abit for that one. "It might be considered treason if you attempted young master." he tossed the clothes into the incinerator and closed the door. Ciel didn't seem to care that he was only in his pajamas outside. Just watching as the butler turn it on and picked up the basket to walk back into the house. Once back in the laundry room he looked back at the bucket that held Maylene's panties.

"You know you have to get them done. The washing machine is being used. Time for hand washing." Ciel smirked evilly.

"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

Sebastian was scrubbing at a stain on Bard's chef jacket nodding in satisfaction when it was clean once more. Standing up he hung it up on the line that was indoors. Wiping at the sweat on his brow with his arm. "Ahh."

"Don't forget you still have that to wash." Ciel smirked with glee. It was the final piece of laundry that needed to be washed. Everything else was washed and drying.

Sebastian looked at the bucket he'd been avoiding for the past 2 hours. He could swear he saw a demonic aura coming from it. An aura that clearly stated, i'm going to destroy you. He whimpered as he grabbed at the handle and picked it up. Slowly walking over to the hand washing area, he poured the contents in like it was a regular bucket of water and watched as the item floated up the surface. Silent was consuming the room as the minutes ticked by. "Young master you wash it." he stated after a moment. His face clearly expressed he was in thought.

"What?"

Sebastian looked at his master, "You wash it."

"What? I'm not going to wash it! I'm the master, your the servant, you wash it!"

"You wash it, I did all the other laundry. You can wash this one." he backed away from the thing.

"It's just a pair of panties, just wash them."

"Males aren't supposed to touch such types of panties." he muttered.

"Is that some kind of rule or something?" Ciel put his hands on his hips. "Fine then go burn them. Just means we have to get her a new pair anyway."

Sebastian suddenly had an image in his mind. An image of his mother and father. Back in their home. A particular day coming to mind when he was about fourteen years old.

"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

"Darling have you seen my favorite black lace panties?" she asked pleasantly.

"The ones that had the red stain and soaking in the bathroom sink?" his after asked as he was reading the newspaper.

"Yes those are the ones."

"I threw them away." he stated bluntly.

"You what?" her tone changed.

"I threw them away. I know how you hate having to clean stains out so I tossed them." he stated as he sipped his drink.

Sebastian came into the kitchen, just coming home from school. Carrying his books in his arms. "Hi mom. Hi dad. Here's the mail." he placed them on the table.

"Thank you." his father stated as he picked up the mail and starting going through it.

"Baby...go to your room and do your homework." her vein was throbbing. Her fingers were twitching.

"Ummm...okay..." he took a final look at his parents and started going towards his room completely confused. Before he even got halfway the wall to the kitchen exploded as his father's body burst through it and landed with a loud thud against the other wall. Sebastian gripped the rail as he dropped his books and looked down. "What the?"

"DIE!" came his mother's shout soon after. She tackled her husband and was punching and beating him up like he was some pervert on the street. She started to strangle him and shake him. "HOW DARE YOU THROW AWAY MY FAVORITE PANTIES! THOSE WERE MY FAVORITE! FAVORITE!"

"I'm sorry! Uhhh! I'm sorry! Gahh!" his father shouted as his wife clawed, punched and kicked him. He went down fast as she kicked him in his groin.

She then looked at her son who was watching in shock. "TOUCH A WOMAN'S FAVORITE PANTIES AND I'LL KILL YOU!" she pointed at him.

"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

Sebastian trembled as the memory faded. "Sebastian?" Ciel poked at his butler. "Sebastian...SEBASTIAN!" He saw the demon jump.

"Huhh what?" he looked at his master.

"Just go burn them, we'll get her a new pair."

"ARE YOU INSANE?" he shouted. "She'll kill us! Those are her favorite panties!"

"So?"

"So? So? You never burn or throw away a woman's favorite panties...EVER. That's a deathwish!"

"Is this another one of those lessons like the tampons?" he asked.

"Yes."

"And is there a completely random lecture involved?"

"Yes."

"...I'd rather wash the panties." Ciel pushed the demon off the side to go near the basin. His hand hovered above the item, and his gut was telling him he shouldn't touch them. "Sebastian..."

"Yes young master?" he looked at his master from behind him.

"I can't do it." he whimpered as he felt like the most pathetic person on the planet.

"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

"Here you go Maylene, your favorite panties are all nice and clean." Sebastian smiled as he handed her panties that were neatly folded.

"Than...thank you Sebastian." she blushed as she took them and ran to her room. Thoughts of how amazing it was that Sebastian had touched her favorite panties and wishing he'd touched her while she was in them.

Ciel just stared as she ran down the hall. He was now dressed in his green suit while Sebastian was in his full uniform. "...So you gonna tell her you didn't wash them but took them the cleaners?"

"Nope." Sebastian smiled.

"How is it you can touch her other panties but the ones with period stains you couldn't? Your a demon I thought you liked blood and disgusting things."

"A womans cycle is very sacred young master. And to see the stain is like a sin. To wash it is even worse. It's like taking a bite of the golden apple."

"...You actually just think it's really gross don't you?" Ciel smiled as he stated that.

"Damn straight I do." he walked around his master to go to the kitchen to make lunch. "Never again will I wash that type of underwear. It's the signature of a pervert. On par with a man who keeps a pair of used women's underwear."

Ciel looked disgusted as he heard that. "Who's keeping used women's underwear?"

"Some human males do it as trophies for the women they've mated with." he smiled. "A few women do it to men too. It's like a sign of adult hood."

"That's it, i'm not growing up." Ciel started walking around the demon. "Adults are disgusting." he ran up the stairs.

"Pft your one to talk, you still can't wipe your own ass." he muttered as he went walked down the hall to the kitchen, giggling as he imagined his master's disgusted facial expression.
