The prompt used for this one shot is A Moment in Time.
Sneaky Peaceful Moments
Ceil let out a soft sigh as he stared down at the newest blend of tea Sebastian had given him in his latest china. Delicately lifting the china cup up to his lips Ceil gently blew on it and took a small dignified sigh as he enjoyed the atmosphere around him.
"Does my Master approve of the tea?" came Sebastian deadly yet soft voice to Ceil's ears, "It is b-"
"Quiet Sebastian, you are going to ruin it," Ceil said softly and powerfully without opening his eyes, "I will not allow you to...destroy this."
"Destroy this?" Sebastian asked while blinking in confusion, "I am afraid I do not understand."
"Tell me when was the last time it was this quiet?" Ceil asked simply as he took another sip of his tea, "Have you not noticed that there has been nothing destroyed in the last half an hour?"
Sebastian froze for a moment as Ceil's words ran through his mind a mile a minute, Ceil gave himself a pleased smirk and mentally patted himself on the back.
"Now that you mention it you are correct," Sebastian replied slowly as he turned to gaze at the door, "I have gotten so used to all the noise they make...I have learnt to tune it out..."
"Well now you know so shut up already," Ceil replied as he took another sip from his china cup, "I've done all my work for today and I've even been nice to the idiots...now shut up."
"You have been nice to the staff?" Sebastian asked slowly as his mind raced a mile a minute, "Should I go and check on them young master? Normally your form of fun includes throwing darts at my head."
"No," Ceil replied as he felt his free hand twitch as if looking for a dart, "I simply gave them a few hours off with a special blend of tea and a special cake that was brought the last time we were in town."
"That is generous of you young master," Sebastian replied with a kind smile, "Let me get you another slice of cake.
As Sebastian got Ceil another slice of cake Ceil decided it was best not to tell his demon butler that he had laced the cake with a strong dose of sleeping powder or that he had added a few drops of a sleeping medicine to his servants drinks just to keep them quiet for a few hours.
'A moment in time...this moment in time in question got me a quiet afternoon' Ceil thought with a hidden glee as he watched Sebastian place a second slice of cake in front of him 'Taking the time to personally add in that sleeping medicine was defiantly worth the time.'
