The sun began to rise over London, painting the sky with brilliant reds, yellows, blues, and purples as it greeted the new day. The city was lively as always, while the early-birds started their days in accordance to their own personal routines. Unfortunately, there was one person whose routine was disrupted as he was awoken at this time. Ferris Fairburn usually awoke much later, but he had torn from his sleep by an urgent call from the main office of Fairburn toys.

"What's going on?!" he demanded as he walking down the hallways of the building, trying to get to the bottom of things. "What's happening?!"

"Sir, we just don't know what to do!" said one of his financial advisors. "Our stock is being bought up like crazy! We're being greenmailed, sir!"

"Then buy it back!" barked Fairburn as he and his posse stepped into his office. "Whose responsible for this?!"

"We can't! We don't have the funds! We'll go bankrupt if we try!"

"I think you should take a look at this, mister Fairburn." Added another one of the men in suits tailing him. He handed the man a slip of paper as Fairburn sat down behind his desk. The CEO furrowed his brow as he took the page and looked it over. The area between his eyebrows wrinkled as a snarl appeared on his face.

"That bastard…" he hissed, crumpling the bad news in his hand as he held it. Ferris looked up. "Someone arrange me a meeting with Phantomhive right now!"

Ciel's plan had been put into motion, even while he slept at his home on the outskirts of the city. It was the weekend, so he and his beau were well intent on sleeping in. While Fairburn panicked, the demonic duo were peacefully bundled up underneath their warm comforter with their limbs tangled together, as per usual. Even still, they were interrupted as well, with a gentle knock on the bedroom door.

"Master? Are you awake?" called the butler on the other side, causing the younger demons to stir. With a sigh, the Phantomhive sat up slightly and rubbed his eye of sleep. The blonde next to him, however, was far more reluctant to awake, so he simply kept his arms around the bluenette's middle with a small whine. After a few moments, Ciel spoke.

"I am now." He answered. "What is it?" With that response, Sebastian opened the door, slightly, peeking his head inside.

"Fairburn's people are on the phone." The butler stated. "They want to know if they can arrange a meeting with you sometime today."

Ciel scoffed at the news with a smirk. He had been expecting this. Mister Fairburn had noticed what was being done to him, and was going to beg for the FUNTOM CEO to stop. After all, it wasn't in the capacity of a Phantomhive to merely let someone go with a few scrapes. Oh, no. Ciel was going to crush Mister Fairburn, and take his company away from him. A chuckle bubbled from the bluenette's throat at the thought.

"Tell him I'm busy." Ciel answered. "I want him to sweat it out a bit longer while everything else is being put together."

"As you wish." Answered Sebastian with a small chuckle. He turned and closed the door in order to pass on the message, leaving the two other demons alone again. Ciel laid back down and pulled the blankets back up over his shoulder before draping an arm over the blonde menace beneath them. Before long, the other demon in the room giggled.

"Good morning." Alois said, tilting his head up in order to kiss the other man's cheek before putting it back again. "You're not just going to go for a company takeover, are you? Otherwise, you would've just gone to the meeting."

"Of course not." The Phantomhive replied. "I'm going to ruin his life."

"You're so bad." His beau mused, sighing through his nose. A grin was on his face but his eyes hadn't opened yet, as he was still reluctant to do so. "Are you bored or something?"

"A little. Also, I've been meaning to get rid of him for a while." Answered the bluenette. "This gives me an excuse to finally get around to it."

"You have weird hobbies."

"Perhaps, but you still find them interesting, don't you?"

"Yeah, because I'm evil like you." Alois stated.

"No, you're not. You're sweet in comparison.

"You're sweet, too, but you just don't fuck around when people get in your way." Alois replied. "How long are you going to make him wait?"

"That depends entirely on how long it takes for the Yard as well as the media to process what I've given them." The bluenette said, stroking the flaxen locks on his lover's head. "Perhaps sometime this afternoon?"

"I can't wait. This is going to be good." The Macken said, relaxing into the Phantomhive's touch. They both eventually dozed off again and slept for a few hours until the pair decided that it was time to get up.

By then, the answering machine at the manor had blown up with messages from Fairburn Toys as the company was sent into a tizzy over what the bluenette had done. The demons got dressed, and but this time, Ciel had gotten another phone call; one from the yard. He grinned as he set the phone back down on the receiver before dialing it again. Now, he would accept that meeting with Fairburn. Everything was set in place for him to completely ruin him.

When Fairburn arrived, he practically stormed into the manor, passing the butler, only to realise that he needed the man to escort him through. He had no idea where he was going in the strange place. Sebastian led him to the drawing room, where the demonic duo lied in wait for him. They both assumed their disguises once more as Ciel sat on the sofa with his beau standing behind him. He smiled as his enemy walked in, putting on a friendly façade that masked his true intent.

"Ah, Mister Fairburn, so good to see you again." He greeted. "Now, what is it that you wished to discuss? From the sound and frequency of your calls, I assume it's urgent?"

"You know damn well how urgent it is!" spoke Fairburn, his face red with rage. "Stop buying up all of my companies stock! You're ruining us!"

"That's just how business goes, Mister Fairburn. If you can't keep hold of your company, then it probably isn't able to last on its own." Said Ciel.

"It was just fine until you tried to take it over!"

"Oh, really?" asked the Phantomhive, arching an eyebrow. "That's not what my sources say. Apparently, you've been having trouble selling merchandise over the past few years. At this rate, you would have to sell off Fairburn Toys, eventually. So why not now?"

"Keep your hands off it!" Fairburn shouted. "It's mine! It's been in my family for generations, and I'm not going to let it go to the likes of you!"

"How rude." Noted Alois, causing the human's eyes to wander in his direction. It was then that the other CEO's stern frown warped into a gross smile.

"I've got something that you're not gonna be happy about." Said Ferris. "According to my sources, you've got a dirty little secret, don't you, Phantomhive?"

"Ah, blackmail for greenmail. Interesting." Ciel mused. "And what exactly did you come across?"

"You're gay." Fairburn replied. "Apparently, you've got a young college student boy-toy, don't you? It would be a shame if word got out to the media, wouldn't it?"

"Excuse me?" the Phantomhive inquired, raising a brow. He looked at the menace, who looked back before returning his gaze to the human before him. Both demons chuckled at his threat, amused that he would even bother.

"You mean my brother?" asked Alois, telling the lie that he and his beau had fabricated.

"One of his younger brothers is in a relationship with mine, mister Fairburn." Ciel added. "Surely you knew that. It's not necessarily a 'secret'."

"Wh-what?" the human asked. "They were wrong?! Those fuckers!"

"Yes, about those gentlemen who were stalking and harassing us…" the Phantomhive continued. "You are aware that that's a crime, right?" The human's eyes widened at the statement. Oh, dear. He was certainly in trouble now, wasn't he? Ciel only chuckled at the man's nervous reaction, watching as he fidgeted where he stood.

"Don't worry, I won't press charges." The bluenette said. "All you have to do is surrender your company's assets to FUNTOM, and all will be well."

"Like hell I'll do that!"

"Then enjoy your orange jumpsuit." Ciel looked past Fairburn and toward his butler, who was waiting at the door. "Sebastian, if you'll escort Mister Fairburn out, please?"

"No! Wait!" the human interrupted, holding a hand up. Silence hung in the air as he paused to think of what he was going to say. Ciel waited. He knew that his foe was debating the pros and cons of surrendering now. He would lose his company, but he was still wealthy. It would be easy for him to be put in charge of another corporation right after. Gritting his teeth, the man finally reached his conclusion.

"Well?" spoke the Phantomhive. "What is it?"

"I…" Mister Fairburn began, hesitant to throw away his family's company, but left with not much choice. "I'll… sign the company over to you." He concluded, visibly cringing at the statement. The bluenette simply smiled at him again.

"We'll see you again, soon, then." He stated, waving his hand. With that, the butler came over and quickly escorted the man out, as mister Fairburn nervously looked back at the head of the household. The door closed, and just like that, it was settled. Immediately, the demonic dup resumed their original shapes and the Macken hopped over the back of the couch in order to sit next to his partner.

"Well, that was anti-climactic." He said, placing his arm over the other demon's shoulders. The blonde arched an eyebrow as the other man chuckled at his statement.

"We're not done yet." Ciel stated, crossing one leg over the other. "Turn on the TV." He added, gesturing to the screen mounted on the wall.

With a shrug, Alois complied, grabbing the remote on the coffee table in front of them and switching on the device. The channel was set to some sort of news station, much to the confusion of the menace. His eyes watched as a nicely dressed woman addressed the audience from behind a desk with papers in hand about what was happening.

"This just in: it seems as though the company Fairburn Toys is in hot water today as he faces harassment and conspiracy charges for illegally placing the home of his rival, Damian Phantomhive, owner of FUNTOM toys, under surveillance. He may face additional charges, as one of his people supposedly put their hands on a man who is involved romantically with the FUNTOM CEO's younger brother, Ciel, in order to gain some kind of dirt on his business rival."

A smile appeared on the blonde's face. Ciel lied. He had already sent the police everything, and was it a beautiful thing! Alois turned to the bluenette and pecked him on the cheek.

"That's so evil." He said, causing the Phantomhive to smile as well.

"Sssh, there's more." Ciel stated, and Alois turned his attention back to the screen.

"If that wasn't enough for Fairburn," the news anchor continued, "his wife has decided to file for divorce in a settlement that may rob him of most of his wealth, after been tipped off to Fairburn's affair with a female secretary. More at eleven."

The blonde menace laughed aloud at that. It was the icing on the cake! When Ciel said that he was going to "ruin Fairburn's life", he wasn't joking! The best part was that the Phantomhive only did it because he could! Alois liked this game. Partially because his rich boyfriend was taking out other rich people who weren't nearly as nice, and partially because he liked that Ciel had the power to do so. He leaned over to rest his head on the Phantomhive's shoulder while reaching a hand up in order to play with his bluenette locks. After his giggling died down a bit, he looked up at the other demon.

"What are you going to do with the extra money from Fairburn's business?" he asked, hoping that his beau had one more jab at the other CEO to make. Ciel hummed in response as he thought of an answer, eventually coming out with:

"I don't know. Let's donate it to a few charities." He said, knowing the Mister Fairburn would absolutely hate it. He would make FUNTOM look good, while at the same time, delivering one final blow to his foe's ego.

"That's so wicked." Alois replied, shaking his head even though he was grinning from ear to ear. "Having a rich boyfriend is fun. I don't get what you see in me."

"You're funny, smart, dashing, and just as evil and messed up as I am." Ciel answered. He stood up, straightening his back before turning to hold out a hand to the blonde. "Come on. We promised that we'd go take Luka out for ice cream."

"Oh, yeah! That was today!" Alois said, taking his lover's hand and leading him out of the room. "He says he wants to try a new flavour."

"I bet he'll go for 'birthday cake'."

"No, that's you."


A/N: Huhuhu... Yeah, I just wanted to end it. Wasn't feelin' it. Dunno what I'll do next, but I now know why I don't dabble much in the whole "business" area of DLTD.

It's boring.

I need ACTION!

Eh, I'll try to come up with a murder or something tomorrow.

Until then, my duckies~!
