That morning, the demonic duo were awakened by a knock at their bedroom door. The Macken released a small, annoyed groan, as it was finally the weekend and he could sleep in. He simply shifted, squeezing the bluenette beside him tighter in hopes that whatever it was would go away if he ignored it long enough. A second groan escaped his lips as his beau sat up in order to address their unwanted visitor.
"Yes?" called the head of the household, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. It was his butler who peeked through the door, opening it just a mere crack.
"My apologies for waking you, master, but I'm leaving in order to escort our guest home." Sebastian informed. "Is there anything that you need while I'm out?"
"Not that I can think of." The bluenette replied. "I'll text you if I think of anything important."
"Very well, then. I'll be taking my leave." Answered his servant. He paused for a moment before adding: "My apologies to you, too, Alois."
"Uuuuugggghhh…" moaned the menace in complaint. He childishly made an attempt to burrow himself further into his pillow in an effort to escape. With a chuckle, the butler simply shut the door again and left, leaving the two gentlemen alone again. Ciel ran a hand through his hair, sighing, only to have the blonde sit up and wrap his arms around him once more.
"Oof!" grunted the Phantomhive as he was pulled back down so that he was lying beside the menace again. A smile formed on his face as Alois made himself comfortable again, squeezing the watchdog tightly and nuzzling against him. Ciel had no other choice but to pull the covers back up and allow the Macken to have his way.
"This is my favourite part of the morning." Alois mumbled into his partner's nightshirt. "How dare you try to take it away from me prematurely?"
"You're so clingy…"
"You are, too." The menace accused. "Remember that time I didn't cuddle up next to you on the couch just to see what would happen and you looked so dejected?"
"I was merely confused because you went against your ordinary behaviour." Ciel said.
"Liar, you looked pitiful." The blonde accused. "You're just as needy as I am." He ran his palms lower down the other man's back before taking them away. He playfully brought his hand down on the Phantomhive's rear, playfully patting it. "Silly puppy…"
"Is that entirely necessary?" asked the bluenette. It wasn't exactly an uncommon occurrence for the menace to do such things, but it was still embarrassing.
"Yes." Alois stated. "It's just a playful little butt-pat. I could do worse."
"Well, if you're going to do that, then do it soon. I have a business-meeting in a few hours." Replied the Phantomhive. He sighed and ran a hand through his beau's hair. "Christmas is coming soon, and we've gotten a late start, this year…"
"Noooooooo…" whined the menace. He rubbed his face against the fabric of his beau's shirt. "It's the weekend and I'm supposed to bother you."
"Sorry. Work is work." Ciel chuckled. "I'm always busy around this time of year. You know that."
"Fine… Is there anything I can do to help?"
"Not that I can think of, at the moment." The bluenette answered. "Mostly just behave until I get back from all of the meetings I have to go to."
"Ew, no." Alois replied. "I don't even know how and that's really gross. I can't believe you would even suggest such a thing!"
"I'm sorry to offend you."
"You're lucky you have a cute butt, or else I might not forgive you." Stated the menace, giving his beau's tush a playful squeeze.
"I'm glad I can somehow make amends." Ciel jested. He pecked the blonde on the lips before grabbing the man's hand and moving it so he could sit up. "I'm sorry to cut your fondling short, but I have to get ready sometime soon."
The menace pouted at the revelation, but decided to sit up as well. He wrapped the blankets around himself, having lost his preferred source of heat. He asked: "How am I supposed to stay warm now?"
"You have blankets, and there's a perfectly well-lit fireplace in the other room." The Phantomhive said, swinging his legs over the side of the bed and walking over to the dressing room in order to get ready.
"I am being neglected." Alois declared. "How very dare you?"
"I love you too, muffin." Playfully retorted the watchdog, selecting the suit that he was going to wear that day. His business suits were in a completely separate location from his "work" suits. They came in different colours and shades instead of the plain, black, cheaply-made suits that he tore through while on missions and such. He selected a dark blue suit and a black tie. He put on the pants along with a shirt and was about to tuck it in, when he felt a familiar presence behind him.
"Jim, you can't sneak up on me anymore. You know that." He said with a small, yet amused smile. The menace huffed and placed his forehead in between the other man's shoulder blades.
"This is the worst part about having a contract…" he grumbled before turning around to go back to bed. When he did, however, he jolted and let out a small squeak before facing the Phantomhive again with a reddened face. Ciel held his hand up in a fist, tapping his thumb against his index finger with a smirk.
"Revenge." He said mischievously as the blonde rubbed the now stinging spot on his backside. He huffed before crawling back into bed and trying to get comfortable, mumbling and grumbling at the "unfairness" of the watchdog's actions. Ciel simply chuckled and continued getting dressed, assuming his "CEO" disguise in the process.
When he walked back into the bedroom, he found the menace occupying as much of the bed as he possibly could, monopolizing all of the blankets, and even hugging the watchdog's pillow. Ciel rolled his eye at the juvenile act of protest against his actions and made his way toward the blonde. He leaned down in order to peck the blonde on the cheek one last time before getting his papers sorted for his meeting, only to have the blonde interrupt him.
"You better not try to kiss me with that manky-ass beard again." Alois stated, not even bothering to open his eyes. His instructions were willfully ignored as the bluenette leaned down and kissed the menace on the cheek anyway with a smirk. He did it again, and thrice more, chuckling as the blonde squirmed and complained.
"Gross!" the Macken declared, scrunching his nose and wrestling his hands out of the blankets in order to shoo the other man away. "Quit it! Arrgh! Fucking ugh! Piss off, bloody douchelord!"
"Oh, come, now, you're hurting my feelings." Ciel jested. He shifted his form so that it was closer to his ordinary face, getting rid of the beard before leaning down and pecking a disgruntled and pouting Alois on the lips. After releasing the man, he changed back and walked toward the door, turning to peek in at the menace one last time before he left.
"Have a nice day, Jimmy." He called, sweetly.
"Fuckity-bye!" the Macken barked, throwing the covers over his head as he heard his beau laugh outside the door.
It was then, and only then that he allowed himself to smile at the watchdog's antics. One of his favourite things about dating the bluenette was that he, and only he was allowed to see this playful side of Ciel's. Alois laid in bed for a while longer, pondering what all he was going to do that day. It was then that he got an awaited phonecall.
Alois' hand reached out of the blankets and groped around the surface of his nightstand for his cellphone, listening to the sound of its obnoxious ring. He really ought to change the tune. Once grabbing hold of the device, the blonde pulled it under the covers with him and placed it against his ear.
"What's up, Bass-man?" he greeted, knowing full-well that it was the butler on the other end. He could almost hear Sebastian rolling his eyes as he waited for a response.
"I'm on my way to take care of that little errand of yours." Answered the man clad in black as he drove down the street. "Hopefully everything will be sorted out in time."
"Good." The blonde replied. "Sorry I had to ask you to do this. I thought Ciel's meeting was next week, and also, to be honest, I have no idea how to go through the process."
"Perhaps next time, you should accompany me." Sebastian said. "It's quite alright. After all, if I couldn't do this much, what kind of butler would I be?"
"A bloody awful one." Giggled Alois. "Ciel's about to leave for the day. He's getting his stuff sorted before he heads out."
"There's plenty of time." The man reassured. "You're really going all-out this time, aren't you?"
"It's only fair..."
"Didn't the master specifically ask you not to worry about it?"
"I told him the same thing, but did he? No." replied the Macken, rolling onto his back while keeping the phone against his ear. "Besides, I just want to…"
"How sweet." Chuckled the older demon. "Now if only you didn't have me do all of the dirty work."
"Not cool, mate. Not cool." Alois said, sitting up. "Oh, did I give you my card? You might need that."
"You did. You told me the pin, too."
"Oh, good. That would have sucked." The blonde stated.
"I'm already here. I'll call you if I need anything else." Sebastian replied.
"Okay. Later, Scratch." Alois replied, hanging up and putting the device back on the nightstand. He then stretched his arms over his head with a grunt and shook off some of the sleep. Now it was time for the Macken to get ready for the day.
A/N: Ah, more repetitive shit, but there's some important stuff in there, too, I guess.
Uh. I wanted to update more, but I just couldn't bring myself to write anything...
UUUUUUUUUUUUuuuuuuuuuuuugggggggghhhhhhhhh...
Eh, until the next chapter, my duckies~!
