My Butler Forever Professional
Sebastian removed his clothes with the grace that he did everything. He didn't even bother to turn around, simply standing full front and nude for Ciel to see. That made the boy look down, blushing only slightly. Who wouldn't blush at seeing another man so plainly strip in front of you, let alone your own butler. It was indecent, but it was what Ciel had ordered so he couldn't complain.
Sebastian folded his suit neatly with his long black socks on the top as he placed them carefully on top of the basket with the clothes of his Young Master. After that he turned back to the water and leaped incredibly high to plunge into the water several yards behind where Ciel was wading. The Butler's graceful contact with the water barely made a ripple.
The demon resurfaced only a few feet away from Ciel, wading gracefully in place. "Are you content my Lord?" Ciel nodded and continued swimming around, Sebastian staying where he was and simply observing the delicate strokes of his Young Master. After a few minutes of only the movement of Ciel in the water filling the silence, the boy stopped and waded back over to his butler.
"You're so boring," Ciel said with a blank expression. He splashed some water at Sebastian, but it was dodged with demonic reflexes.
"Forgive me Young Master," Sebastian said with a graceful midwater bow. "How would you like me to entertain you?" Ciel placed a hand on his delicate chin in contemplation. Sebastian had never offered to entertain him before; he'd always had to order Sebastian specifically to entertain him.
"Teach me how to float on my back," Ciel said after the brief silence. "I never had the time to learn before."
"Yes, My Lord." Sebastian moved behind his Young Master and placed a hand on his upper back. "Lean back and let your legs float up, Young Master." Ciel did as instructed and Sebastian quickly placed his free hand under Ciel's slender legs just below his buttocks, using both hands to steady him on the water. "Very good. Now close your eyes."
Ciel closed his eyes, blocking out the bright sun above. He relaxed in the water with Sebastian holding him so his body was slightly above the water surface. His breathing deepened and he heard Sebastian say something, but he didn't quite catch it in his daze. Soon he vaguely felt the hands supporting him slowly move away.
Ciel's body sank slightly into the water's surface, but he remained afloat in his semi-conscious state. When he finally came back to his full senses he was floating gracefully in the quiet water. He looked to his side to see Sebastian staring shamefully at the water below. "Sebastian?"
The demon looked up to meet his master's eyes. "Perhaps I should go, Young Master." As he spoke his eyes flicked down Ciel's body and a new sight came to life. The demon butler was... Blushing? Ciel glanced down at himself, careful not to move and disrupt his floating, only to realize why Sebastian was so... Off. At the sight of his own prominent erection the boy lost all control of his balance and flailed as he splashed back into the water.
Ciel stared down into the deep blue water, his own blush much deeper than that of his butler. "I- I'm sorry," he muttered, more to himself than to Sebastian. "I didn't realize..."
Sebastian swam to the shore quickly, and Ciel didn't attempt to stop him. He was so embarrassed. How could he have become aroused? He was just floating in the water with Sebastian holding him up... Ciel's already present blush deepened as he thought of his butler's hands resting gently on his skin. This whole situation made no sense to him.
Ciel watched Sebastian on the sand. The demon shook his head and body like a dog getting out of the water. Apparently that one motion had gotten all of the water off of him, since when he put his suit back on it was spotless with no trace of water staining it. Ciel waded slowly back into the shallow water by the shore and stopped when his feet could touch the sand at the bottom. "Perhaps we should return to the manor for your lunch," Sebastian suggested. He had completely regained his normal composure without even a trace of the blush he had displayed earlier.
Even though Ciel was now a demon, he didn't have nearly the flawless composure that his butler did. Ciel nodded and checked himself under the water to make sure there wasn't going to be another incident like earlier. Sure enough his little friend was back to normal.
Ciel walked out if the water as casually as he could, stopping a foot away from Sebastian. The butler began dressing the boy, indicating when to raise each leg with a gentle nudge. Once he was dressed Ciel quickly got in the carriage, not even waiting for Sebastian to open the door for him. The man seemed taken aback, but Ciel ignored it and shut the door. He was so embarrassed to have been seen in such an indecent state, especially in front of Sebastian. He always tried to refrain from showing any weakness in front of his butler; even more so since he had become a demon himself.
The carriage didn't move in the slightest as Sebastian mounted the driver's seat above. The only way Ciel knew he had gotten on is that the horses started pulling it forward, and Sebastian had the horses very well trained. It was a quiet ride back to the front of Phantomhive Manor, but a peaceful one. The carriage was stopped only a moment before the door was opened by a very straight-faced Sebastian. He had always been very professional and had taken the job of being a butler very seriously, but he just seemed… colder.
Ciel brushed it off as his mind knit picking at details. He took Sebastian's waiting hand for balance as he stepped down onto the pavement in front of his home. Sebastian silently made his way to the door and held it as Ciel walked through, closing it behind him as he entered. "I will prepare your lunch immediately," Sebastian said, finally breaking the silence. "Where would you like me to bring it to you?" Ciel thought for a moment.
"I'll take my lunch in my bedroom," he responded. "It's not very often I have days without meetings with pompous company officials, so I think I'll take today off entirely and have a… 'nap'" He emphasized the last word. He had never taken a nap mid day like lazy commoners seemed to do, so he never had much use for the word.
"Yes, My Lord," was the butler's only response before striding off toward the kitchen. Ciel went to his bedroom and removed his day clothes and slipped on his night clothes. Luckily they didn't have buttons, so he didn't need Sebastians help. He placed his old clothes in a corner for Sebastian to take care of later. Ciel crawled into his bed and laid on his back, waiting for his lunch to arrive. He felt strange just lying in bed in the middle of the day. There were only two good reasons for a person to be in bed at this time, and that's if they're injured or if they have… company.
Ciel blushed at his own thoughts, quickly slamming them back where they came from. There was no way he would let himself be aroused when Sebastian arrived with his food. As he laid there in wait for his butler, he began getting tired. Of course he was tired, that's what happens when you're in bed this early. He struggled against his fluttering eyelids for a few minutes before finally conceding to let them fall shut. It wasn't that big of a deal. He could just rest his eyes and… and…
