Light peeked through the blinds, dully illuminating the hotel room in which the Phantomhives resided in. It was quiet as the awake demon within it tiptoed and tried to make as little noise as possible while his husband still slept peacefully. During this time, Ciel got cleaned up and dressed before waiting on the menace to either wake up on his own, or by his hand once they had no more time to spare and needed to leave. The Watchdog checked and answered messages and e-mails on his phone while waiting, then moving on to checking his usual news websites. After while, the menace finally stirred, drawing his attention, but it was a while longer before he opened his eyes.
Taking in a sharp, deep, breath, Alois scrunched up his face for a moment before rubbing his eyes. With a grunt, wriggled as his body continued to wake up, finally opening eyes after he couldn't feel his spouse next to him. With that realization, he forced himself into a seated position with his blankets pushed down in to his lap.
"Good morning." Ciel greeted, standing up from his seat while his husband stretched.
"Mornin'." answered the other, surprised at how rested he was. Reaching up, he wiped some drool from the corner of his mouth, only to look back at his pillow to find a large puddle of spit in the fabric. Returning his gaze to his spouse, he was handed a plastic cup.
"Water?"
With a sleepy sigh, the other took him up on his offer. "Ta..." the blonde said, taking the cup and bringing it to his lips.
"That stuff certainly knocked you on your rear. I was surprised at how heavily you were asleep when I got up this morning." the Watchdog pointed out with a smile. "You were drooling..."
"I noticed." replied the menace. "Sorry 'bout that."
"No bother. It was kind of cute."
"Which one? Me being high or me drooling?"
"Both, actually."
"Only you could find drool cute..." Alois shook with a small chuckle.
"Only because it was you, my darling." Taking a seat on the edge of the bed, Ciel made himself comfortable. "Are you feeling better?"
"Yeah, much. Though, to be fair, I wasn't feeling bad before."
"You said it felt pretty good."
"It did. I can see why people do drugs recreationally."
"Please don't..."
"I know, I know. I won't. Don't you worry about that." the menace replied. "You'd be pretty upset with me if I did, wouldn't you?"
"Well, yes. I would." stated the other. "I don't want you getting addicted to something. It would be detrimental to everything you've worked for."
Somehow, that made the menace smile a bit. "You kinda like me as a hard-working normal person, huh?"
"Honestly, I couldn't imagine that. The 'normal' part, that is. Though, I am very proud of you for your work with Gehenna and your work as an agent. I admire that."
"Oh, is that all?"
"Not quite." Admitted Ciel with a small laugh after being caught. "You're also very attractive when you take charge of things."
"Ah, so you think I'm sexy?"
"Well, of course. That's part of it, but also… attractive. That's the only way I can think of to explain it. It's not just in a sex way, it's also in a… Well, I just want to be around you. I pine for you."
"What, no sonnet on how pretty I am?"
"If you want, I will write you one later."
"I'm holding you to that." Alois said, finishing off his water. "What time is it, by the way? Aren't we supposed to be working?"
"As soon as you get up and put on pants." Offered the bluenette, prompting the other to roll his eyes despite getting out of bed anyway.
Throwing his legs over the side, he stood up and gathered another cheap suit to work in out of his bag. On his way to the bathroom to shower and change, he passed by the bluenette, bringing a hand up to cup his cheek while he went in for a quick kiss. His intentions were not carried out, as it turned out to be much longer than he anticipated as the bluenette returned the gesture. Ciel put a hand on Alois' hip, giving it a squeeze while preventing him from passing as his arm crossed the man's abdomen as a barrier. As soon as Alois pulled away, he regretted it, wishing to kiss the other more. He allowed himself to peck the other's lips once more, but was prevented from leaving since his spouse still had a light grip on him.
"You know..." bashfully began the Watchdog, a light pink dusting his cheeks. "You don't have to get ready right away. Sebastian left earlier because we needed petrol, but we didn't want to disturb you."
"What do you propose?" Alois inquired despite knowing just from the look on his husband's face. The Watchdog always tried to maintain a serious persona when embarrassed, but it never worked. The hesitance from his spouse made Alois laugh every time.
"We've been together for years and married for almost one, yet you still can't bring yourself to ask for a good morning romp..." observed the menace, prompting the other to clear his throat. "Who cares if it's morning? An itch is an itch."
"Well, what am I supposed to say?" Ciel questioned before adopting a mockingly sultry tone of voice. "'Listen, baby, I know you just woke up from being accidentally stoned, but the butler has left for a few minutes, so how about a shag?'"
"Sounds good to me."
"Doesn't that sound shady to you?"
"Yeah, but you're not like that. You're shady, but not a fuckboy."
"Thanks, that really warms my heart- Hey!" Ciel was cut off as his spouse wrapped his arms around his waist and lifted him off of the floor. The Watchdog was helpless as he was carried by the menace, only to be dropped on the bed with untidy sheets and a bit of drool on one pillow. Still, it was enough to make the man's face turn completely red, only to darken once the other climbed on top of him and straddled him.
"Only a few minutes, remember? We need to be quick." reminded the menace with a mischievous grin. "One of the drawbacks of that stuff is that I can't actually do hardly anything. You okay with me taking the lead for a bit?"
"Uh… O-o-okay..." bashfully replied Ciel. Now it was his mind that was a bit fuzzy as he couldn't really give a proper response. Instead, he babbled like a fool, but his husband didn't mind in the slightest.
"So cute..."
In the end, they took a little more time than they really ought to have. In fact, the butler went for a brief drive when he came back and realised that something was "off". When everyone was finally ready, they climbed into the car and started the drive back to the new town while sitting in awkward silence. The two Phantomhives held hands in the backseat while avoiding eye contact with the butler. Somehow, they were aware that he knew why they were late. Fortunately, they wouldn't have to explain to those already at the site, as they had already started working again and didn't have time for questions.
They had started on the next building, moving their schedule up by quite a lot. Respectfully, those coordinating everything asked if Sebastian would please refrain from advancing things faster than they can plan them. With that boundary in place, the demons worked alongside those at the site until it was time for them to leave for London. With them, they brought news for Gehenna's newspaper, jotted down by a reporter who was sent to work. The demons took it happily, both because it would be a good propaganda tool and because it felt like the right thing to do.
This line of work was completely foreign to both Phantomhives, but not unwelcome by Alois. It was Ciel who struggled, finding assassination far easier. Thus, he was relieved when it was time to go home, although it was fascinating to see the other supernaturals go about their business, taking to it like ducks to water. When they were back home, it would be business as usual. Alois would be working with Gehenna from London and Ciel would be working on his business, unless they were called out for something sinister. For now, however, they had a somewhat mundane agenda in mind. For one, the office, and for the other, the new supernatural town of Pyestock.
A/N: This was unnessecary, but whatever. All I needed to do was give you the last word...
Ah... I don't have much else to say...
There's not much point to this A.N...
I should go to bed soon probably...
There's no questions to answer, so might as well...
Until the next chapter, my duckies~!
