Ciel stomped all the way to the carriage, giving the front door of his manor once last glare before jumping in. He hated when Sebastian acted like the boss and lectured him. Though his nerves did jump with Sebastian's threat of a severe punishment. Sebastian had never punished him in any way other than refusing to serve sweets and a swat on the palm if he didn't study correctly. Though none of these punishments were severe, just annoying.
"To the closest library," Ciel hands the carriage driver enough money and sits back, staring out of the window. He was starting to feel guilty that he had left in such a way, especially because he knew he had the responsibilities of being the Earl to the Phantomhive company and Sebastian was for the most part right. Childish, Ciel kept recalling what Sebastian called him. He hated being called childish the most.
Eventually, the carriage stopped moving and the driver called out to Ciel, "We've arrived." Ciel jumped out and entered the huge library in front of him. He hadn't been to the library in only a week, but it was one of his favorite places to go. He immediately guided himself to the fiction section and browsed through the stacks until he found Edgar Allen Poe's books. He randomly grabbed one that he'd never heard of and checked out. Once exiting the library, he walked to the closest park and sat down to read. I'll go back to the manor after I relax soon, Ciel thought to himself.
Meanwhile, Sebastian was left at the manor in a general sulk-like mood. Sebastian looked at the clock, realizing the time was already 2:27p.m. and worried whether Ciel was going to be so childish as to miss an important meeting that he'd set up months in advance. He thought about going out and dragging him back the manor early, but he knew the boy was stubborn. He had already started preparing dinner, cleaning the house, setting the table, and making sure the other servants were preoccupied with chores. Now all he had to do was finish the last touches and wait for Ciel.
Ciel suddenly jolted up off the park bench to the sound of a little boy running to go home and tripping over a stump in the ground. He had fallen asleep and the sun already had gone down. He sat back down on the bench for a moment, nervous and thinking about what to do. He knew that the sun went down around 4:30p.m. and now he wanted to avoid Sebastian at all cost but as the sun went down the air got chilly. Ciel sat on the bench with his arms wrapped around his knees. It was quiet, everybody had retired for the night and he was left cold and hungry. Finally, he decided to walk to the library to return his book and to check the time.
Shit… Ciel thought as he stood outside of the library doors. Closed. The sign said closed. Ciel could feel his heart beating through his chest. The library closed at nine p.m. and now he knew he was in trouble. Ciel quickly called a carriage to go back to his manor where he was dropped off at the gate. Ciel took a deep breath, he didn't want to deal with Sebastian.
"Young master…" Sebastian quickly walked towards the gate upon hearing the carriage arrive. Ciel didn't move. "It's nine o'clock." Sebastian's tone was short, making Ciel more nervous.
"Sebastian, I fell asleep." Ciel defended himself. "Let us go inside." Sebastian turned to walk away.
"What's going to happen?" Ciel asked standing still.
"Do you recall what I warned you about before you left the manor?" Sebastian reminded Ciel of the punishment to come. Ciel's eyes widened, nervous.
"I'm not going then!" Ciel shouted backing up but keeping his eyes on his butler. Sebastian sighed at the inconvenience and quickly grabbed Ciel, picking him up by carrying him under his arm, and carrying him inside.
"Put me down! It's an order!" Ciel screamed out. But Sebastian ignored him. "Sebastian you bastard!" With this Ciel started kicking his legs and hitting Sebastian's back in hopes he'd be put down. SMACK! Sebastian raised his arm and smacked Ciel's bottom hard enough to make him gasp as he walked back to the manor.
"How could you?! You can't hit me! I'm your master! Fucking Demon!" SMACK! "OW! Stop it!" Ciel yelled. SMACK! SMACK! SMACK! Ciel gripped Sebastian's tailcoat.
Ciel struggled to get put down for a few moments before he realized it was impossible to escape. "Sebastian…" He gritted his teeth, "This punishments for children…" Ciel whispered. "Which is exactly what you've acted like today." Sebastian answered before raising his hand up and landing it on Ciel's backside again. Ciel gritted his teeth, the pain wasn't the worst, but his face was blood red and it was starting to sting.
"S-Sebastian can't we talk about this." Ciel tried to negotiate. Young master, this is just a warm-up once we go inside, we can begin." Sebastian warned. "Wait! Sebastian, you have no right to punish me this way!" Ciel started to panic knowing he'd be punished more inside. But Sebastian stayed quiet the rest of the way inside.
Sebastian put Ciel down inside of his room and locked the doors, once again grabbing him and dragging him to his bed. Sebastian gently positioned him, "Are you comfortable, young master?" Sebastian asked. Ciel scoffed at the question. Sebastian grabbed his waist band to his pants before Ciel realized what was happening. "Wait! How can I have any dignity left if you do this?! This is too far!" Ciel screamed in protest. "Don't!" Ciel grabbed his pants trying to keep them up, but Sebastian just moved his hands and proceeded to de-dress him. "I told you, young master, that it would be a severe punishment." Sebastian reminded. "Punish me differently!" Ciel protested, again, trying to push himself off Sebastian's lap. "I'm sorry young master. You'd made your choice and I have made mine. You'll be receiving a spanking tonight and go off to bed."
Ciel breathing got heavier. "Wait, is this going to hurt?" Ciel asked, confused. He had only seen Lizzy punished and it was only a few smacks with her clothing on. She'd cry but she was a small child. "I believe very much so." Sebastian answered. Ciel burrowed his head into his blankets. Sebastian took his glove off and threw it to the side before lifting his arm up and delivering a few warm up smacks to Ciel's bottom.
Sebastian again raised his hand after a moment break and really started to punish the boy. SMACK! "Sebastian! That's too hard!" Ciel spoke out not expecting it. SMACK! By the fifteenth smack Ciel was trying his best not to cry. The small stings that he initially felt now intensified to a deep burning pain.
"Sebastian, please stop." Ciel tried to beg. Sebastian's rhythm wasn't slowing down and he was at his wits end. "Not yet, young master." Upon hearing Sebastian refuse to stop Ciel threw his hands back in protest, "No more! This is enough! You're hurting me…"
"Young master, it's supposed to hurt. Next time you'll think of this pain before skipping such an important meeting and coming home passed normal curfew." Sebastian lectured as he grabbed Ciel's hands and painfully pinned them behind his back before continuing spanking his young master. SMACK! SMACK! "Let go of me! Demon! Bastard! I hate you!" Ciel began getting desperate, tears were forming, and he couldn't be seen crying in such a position. Though Sebastian quickly got annoyed from the barrage of name calling and the childish kicking. SMACK! SMACK! SMACK! Sebastian landed three hard spanks causing Ciel to cry out.
"Okay I get it! I'm sorry! Please, stop Sebastian!" Ciel cried out, his voice started to crack. Sebastian looked down at Ciel's dark red bottom and quickly decided that was enough and picked Ciel up placing him on his feet. Ciel's face was as red as his bottom. He stood there biting his quivering lip and hiding his eyes with his arms. "Young master, we're done now." Sebastian gently spoke as he stood up to get his night clothing for bed. But upon turning around Ciel hadn't moved, instead tears quickly began to fall. Sebastian watched his young master for a moment, he hasn't seen him cry since that day.
"Young master, it's okay." Sebastian walked over to try to console the boy, who was now shaking. "That was cruel..." Ciel whispered trying to calm himself. "Come now let's get dressed." Sebastian quickly got his young master dressed for bed. As Ciel crawled into bed his stomach growled loudly, causing his to blush, embarrassed. "Come young master, we can't have you going to bed starving."
