It was December. It was FUNTOM's busiest time of the year and products were flying off the shelves. Meeting after meeting, the CEO had to attend, making sure that progress was running smoothly. One small mistake could prove dangerous. When Christmas finally comes, the Phantomhive will finally have some time off, but until then, it was all business.

He was getting tired of working so hard. Yes, even Ciel Phantomhive, who liked to shut himself away in his office and work liked to sit around and do nothing sometimes. Sure, he had plenty of other things he could do, but some seemed more appealing than others. For now, the bluenette simply wanted to relax and rid himself of stress.

The Taxi ride home seemed to take longer than usual. Perhaps it was his haste, or the choking smell of cigarettes that seeped into the seats of the cab, but whatever it was, it was suffocating. He really wanted to rid himself of this silly, older form. It was stuffy. When he finally made it to the front gate, Ciel hastily paid the driver and walked through it. The bluenette got approximately a few yards from the door when he hears a voice.

"Ciel, oh, Ciel! What for art thou, Ciel?" called the blonde menace from somewhere above him. Ciel looked up to see the menace leaning out their bedroom window on the second floor, grinning down at him. "Deny thy harshness and refuse thy beard. Or if thou wilt not, be but sworn by my love and I'll no longer be an idiot."

"That's not how it goes." The Phantomhive called back. Still, he changed his form back to his usual appearance, surrendering the "CEO" disguise. "Perhaps you should brush up on your Elizabethan literature."

"Oh, lay off. I'm tryin' to flirt, here. Gimme a break." Alois replied. Being the mischievous soul that he was, he placed his foot on the bottom of the windowsill and jumped, soaring through the air with his hair whipping around his face as he fell. Effortlessly, he landed on his feet before trotting over to the bluenette and kissing him on the cheek. "Welcome back, pooch. Have my words wooed you, yet?"

Ciel chuckled. "Perhaps not in the way you intended, but somehow, yes." He said. His Macken's hijinks were always endearing. Even if the man deliberately butchered Shakespeare for a laugh, Ciel could see a bit of charm in Alois' actions.

"Close enough." Answered the blonde. "How was your meeting?" he asked, walking alongside the bluenette toward the manor.

"Dreadful. It was just the standard stuff, what are market research has come up with, how our sales are doing, and the like. Nothing of any interest. I don't see why they didn't just fax the information to me." The Phantomhive stated. "What about you? What did you do, all day?"

"Oh, you'll find out pretty soon." The menace cryptically replied.

"Have you been up to no good?" questioned his beau.

"Always, but today's a little different than usual."

"Oh, and why's that?"

"What's today's date?"

The palm of the bluenette's hand met his forehead. Of course the menace was up to something on this day. "December fourteenth… What did you do?"

"If I told you, it wouldn't be a surprise!" Alois declared. "I went through quite a bit of trouble to arrange this. It was really long, hard, and exhausting, but hopefully it'll be worth it."

"Can you give me a hint, at least?" inquired the watchdog, causing the blonde to hum in response as he thought.

"Pfft-! It goes between your legs, how's that?" A naughty grin appeared on Alois' face as a blush appeared on that of the bluenette. He almost cackled at the other man's expression.

"Jim!"

"Calm down, don't get so excited." He walked ahead of the Phantomhive a few paces and waved for the man to follow. "Hurry up and come inside. Unless, of course… you want me to…"

"Just get in the house." Ciel replied, quickening his pace so that he walked ahead of the Macken. Alois watched after him for a few seconds before calling out to him again.

"It's not that way." He informed, causing Ciel to stop in his tracks. The watchdog looked over his shoulder confusedly. "Follow me. I said we were going inside, but I never said which entrance."

Arching an eyebrow, the watchdog curiously followed his beau, walking around side of the manor. He was puzzled by what the menace could possibly be up to, but then Alois stopped in front of the garage. Suddenly, the menace took a few steps toward Ciel, causing a look of surprise to appear on the man's face as Alois gripped his tie. The blonde put a hand on Ciel's shoulder as he loosened it before tugging it off. Now the Phantomhive had absolutely no idea what his boyfriend was doing!

"It'll be more fun if you're blindfolded." Alois said, placing the fabric over the bluenette's eye and eyepatch. He reached behind the other man's head in order to tie it before stepping behind Ciel and grabbing his shoulders. Alois then started guiding him forward. "Let's go~!"

"You're killing me…" Ciel stated as he stepped onward. He wasn't worried about tripping over anything, seeing as though he could sense if he was about to be in distress and had Alois' guidance in addition. They both stopped and he heard the garage door open before moving forward again. "

"Don't be such a tight-ass. We're almost there." The blonde replied. "In fact, we're already here. Happy Birthday."

With that, the tie was removed and Ciel opened his eye. Now it made sense. Among the Phantomhive vehicles was now a motorcycle, matching the black hue of the cars around it. Ciel looked at the vehicle before looking back at the menace with a spark of excitement on his face.

"How did you…?" he began to ask, baffled as to how Alois managed to acquire such a thing, let alone know that Ciel would hold interest in it.

"Well, I figured I'd get you something that I knew you really wanted, but would never get for yourself." The blonde answered, smiling at the bluenette. "I see how you look at the dealership every time we pass it, and you've said so yourself that they're 'pretty cool'. As for how I got one; since you take care of most of the expenses, my paycheck adds up. Money wasn't a problem, it was getting the bloody thing. I had to have Sebastian's help. Oh, and by the way, he also added something to your schedule. You'll be taking the class to get your license starting next week. By the way, I've already got one. Remember when I said I was staying after school to work on a project? Yeah, that was only half-true."

Bluenette locks shifted as Ciel shook his head back and forth, wearing a big grin and trying not to chuckle. "That was elaborate." He said. The amount of time it probably took for the menace to arrange this and how he did it without the Phantomhive even suspecting a thing was impressive. "You never cease to amaze me, Jim."

"Don't laugh at me! I tried really hard!" pouted Alois, snaking his arms around the watchdog's waist. He buried his face in his beau's shoulder, actually a bit nervous as to what to other demons would think about his gift. "Do you like it?"

"I love it." Ciel replied, placing his hands on top of the blonde's. "I just don't really know what to do with it!"

"Easy." Alois stated, pulling away and placing his hands on his beau's chest. "Do whatever you want, whenever you want, for as long as you want."

"It'll still be a while before I can do that. I still have to get my license."

"True, but in the meantime, I could always take you for a ride." Answered the Macken. "Then again, it wouldn't feel right to be playing with your toys."

"I don't mind." Spoke the Phantomhive, putting his hands on his boyfriend's hips. "We'd be doing it together, so I don't see the problem."

"Good." Alois said. "Oh, while we're on the topic, you've still got one more present to unwrap. There's just one condition…"

"Really? What's that?" With a grin, the lover of the watchdog leaned in to peck the man on the lips before pulling back again.

"You'll have to catch it first." Alois pushed the Phantomhive away with a giggle, forcing them both to separate so he could run away. Then, his beau simply stood there in silence with a stunned look on his face as he watched the menace and heard him laugh as he fled. Soon, however, a smirk graced his face and he began to walk after Alois.

"You really are a clever one, aren't you?"


A/N: Not nearly enough dirty jokes...

I spent hours on this like: "How can I word this suggestively?"

The ONE time I want to on purpose, I've got nothing...

Pisses me off.

It's three a.m. so I'm skipping the questions today...

Until the next chapter, my duckies~!
