While the demonic duo had plans of sleeping in, it simply wasn't meant to be. They were both awakened by the sound of Ciel's phone going off, causing them both to scrunch their faces in displeasure. Taking a deep breath to help wake him up, Ciel rolled over to glance at the name of his sleep's assailant.

"It's Daniel." he mumbled to his spouse, who stayed clutching to him. "I need to answer him."

"Then do it." Alois sleepily replied. It was obvious from his speech and mannerisms that he wasn't truly awake.

His husband had intended to get up and step into the other room in order to talk on the phone as to not disturb the blonde, but it seemed like the menace had other plans. Laying back down with phone in hand, Ciel allowed his beau to get comfortable and lay down on his chest as he placed the phone to his ear.

"Hello?" Ciel greeted while the other Phantomhive was still getting comfortable. As the menace slowly began to wake up, he listened in on the conversation for as long as he was able. When Ciel began absent-mindedly playing with the blonde's hair while talking, however, he was lulled back to the border between sleep and wakefulness. Still, he could vaguely hear his beau's responses. Whatever he was talking to the Westley about didn't sound good.

"Alright. I'll see you there." finally concluded the bluenette before bidding their mutual friend farewell. He set the phone back down on the table and sighed, laying there for a while longer.

"What did Dan want?" inquired the menace with his eyes still closed.

"He wants us to go down to Warwick with him." Ciel replied. "Apparently, one of the staffmembers has been a bit too 'friendly' with the students, according to his sister. He wants help going down there to have something done about it. I told him I'd investigate and help with negotiations." Rolling over on his side to face the menace, he kissed the blonde's cheek.

"Sorry, I know I said we'd go do something today." he said apologetically.

"It's fine. This is still 'something', even if it's not a date." Alois answered as his eyes opened and struggled to focus. "Do we wear work suits or business suits?"

"Business. We have to use wealth and influence as an intimidation tactic."

"Roger that, dear." the menace replied, sitting up on his knees as the covers slid off of him. He saw the other's eyes scanning the parts of him that were revealed with a pleased expression.

"Perv." accused the blonde before crawling over the bluenette and hopping off the bed. His spouse watched after him while sitting up, himself. Ciel's smirk widened as he saw the menace shiver. "It's so cold..."

"That's why clothes are a thing." Ciel stated as he stood up and followed behind him. Despite his talk, he shivered as well as he stepped into the dressing room. "Do you want to shower first or should I?"

"Whatever." Said Alois. "Doesn't matter to me. Why don't you go ahead?"

"Alright. I will, then." Grabbing his clothes, the bluenette took the other man up on his offer and grabbed his necessities before making his way to the bathroom, all the while ignorant to the fact that he was being watched.

Alois kept his eyes trained on the blue Phantomhive's figure, nodding to himself when the door finally closed. While he waited, he picked out his outfit and donned a pair of pyjama pants before proceeding to pick up clothes off of the floor. It was then that he realised there was a prescence looming outside of the door leading to the bedroom. It was not a source for concern, however. It was familiar, which prompted the menace to open the door without much worry.

"Hey, Bass-man." he greeted upon removing the barrier. He already knew that it was the butler on the other side, so he already knew how to address the visitor. That said, he was a bit surprised to see the man looking so eager. Sebastian wore a face of someone trying to conceal excitement, which was rare for the man. "How can I help you?"

"Revy is at work and everything is in order for the day with the ability of staying that way without maintenance for twenty-four hours." Sebastian answered. "If I may, I would like to inquire about the possibility of taking my trip to the cat cafe today."

"Oh..." said the menace, arching an eyebrow. It took him a moment to remember their conversation from the day prior. "Oh! Right. I have to talk to Ciel about that first… Also, we kind of have a thing to take care of..."

"I see..." In an instant, that hopeful twinkle in the butler's eyes was dashed to pieces. Alois was surprised by how quickly rainclouds formed around the poor man's head. "That's quite alright…"

Guilt washed over the blonde as rain began to pour. Sebastian had been excited about the potential of taking this trip and that was significant. Alois had seen Sebastian genuinely excited, but the sight was rare and far between. Naturally, he hated to take that away from the poor demon.

"Let me talk to Ciel real quick." he offered. "I'll see if we can work something out."

"You will?" Sebastian asked, perking up. His rare brightness returned before he immediately tried to contain it. Pressing his fist to his lips, he coughed in order to clear his throat. "Thank you for your generosity..."

"Wait here." Alois instructed with a chuckle and a smile. He turned around and walked through the bedroom and passed through the door of the dressing room on his way to see the other Phantomhive. Once he reached the bathroom door, he knocked, informing his beau that he wished to speak to him.

"Yes?" Ciel called out through the sound of running water.

"I need to talk to you." the menace replied. "Sebastian wants the day off." To this, Alois heard the water turn off and the shower curtain open. A few moments passed and the door opened with the bluenette wrapped in a towel peeking through the gap.

"He what?" the bluenette questioned at the unusual statement. He wasn't even sure if he heard the blonde correctly, it was so strange.

"Sebastian wants the day off." Alois repeated. "Yesterday, I told him about this thing called a cat cafe, and said that he should go one weekend. I said that I wouldn't be mad if he took one day over a weekend to go if everything was in order."

"Alright?" the other said, indicating that he was up to speed thus far. "And?"

"Only thing is, we need somebody to watch Luka." the blonde explained further. "I said that I would watch him if Sebastian wanted to go. Only thing is, I doubt I can take Luka to a meeting like this at Warwick."

"Then tell him he can go tomorrow."

"I could, but he's just so excited..."

"Sebastian?"

"Yes! He has this look on his face. When I said it might not happen today, he looked crushed."

"He's a demon."

"So are we." Alois reminded. "So, my question is: am I really needed for this meeting?"

"I don't know." the other said before pausing to think. He internally went over what all this sort of meeting entails before nodding. "I think I can handle it. You take care of your brother."

His eyes closed as he was kissed despite the awkward angle. "Thanks, baby."

"Now, if you'll excuse me, I am very cold."

"Go on. I'll tell Sebastian." the menace replied before leaving the bluenette to his own devices. Returning to the butler's view, he gave the man a thumbs up.

"He says it's cool." Alois stated. "Just be back by nightfall, okay?"

"Understood." Sebastian replied back with a bright smile. The man was practically sparkling at the news. "I will do just that."

Rather quickly, he turned to walk away, leaving the Phantomhive to shake his head. Sebastian had somehow managed to conceal his true feelings long enough to make it to his room, even though his grin persisted. Sebastian's room was as pristine and unused as ever, but it did hold his closet, which had all of his clothes inside. He knew that since this was his day off, he would need to change into something suitable for a civilian to wear.

"Oh, dear..." he said aloud upon opening the door and peering inside. All of his jackets, pants, and shirts were the same. All of them were simply multiples of his butler uniform, as he had no real need for other clothes. "Surely there's something in here..."

Digging around, he did find a pair of jeans and a leather jacket, but the shirt was a problem. He didn't have one that was plain. Thus, he had to make do with the dress shirts that he did have and unbuttoned the top two buttons. Perhaps he would have to purchase him some more "ordinary" clothes if he was going to have more days off in the future.

Either way, he would have to make haste. Naturally, Sebastian did his research on the establishment, and knew that if he should move quickly if he was going to make it in time for the place to open it's doors. He knew it would take him a while to meet each and every cat and make sure that the list that the cafe had online was accurate. With great haste, he got dressed in hopes of seeing Mittens, who was foretold to get up early.


A/N: Hello, hello. We're back. Welcome.

I have no questions nor do I really have anything to say...

Hmmm...

I'm kind of hungry, so there's that I guess.

I should fix that.

What should I talk about here? You tell me? What's interesting lately?

Until the next chapters, my duckies~!
