A/N: This is my first ever published fanfic. I hope you like it.
Reviews are always welcome. Same goes for ideas for the next chapters. :3
It was a day like any other – at least that's what I thought. The day began just normal. Sebastian woke me up, made my breakfast, assisted me with getting dressed, and I started doing my paperwork. Eventually I couldn't concentrate anymore. I stood up, walked to the window and looked outside. It was a pretty spring morning and the snow of the last year began to defrost. I saw Pluto raging through the garden. He's probably chasing a cat again.
Then I heard a knock at my door. "Come in!" I called. It was Sebastian. "What is it, Sebastian?" I asked astonished. Usually he doesn't visit me before lunch. After breakfast of course. "Young Master, I have to tell you something." he said slightly hesitant. I raised an eyebrow. "What is this all about?" He looked at me lightly abashed. "Well, I have entered us for a stage play. As actors." I stared at him puzzled. "You're kidding me, right?"
"I'm afraid, I'm not kidding you. I thought you should have some fun. And don't worry, like I just said, I will be by your side all of the time." Sebastian said, grinning. "I won't do that!" I shouted in his direction. "Young Master, you're not afraid to disgrace yourself, are you?" he asked me. Afraid? Me? No, Ciel Phantomhive doesn't know fear. "Pshaw, bring it on!" I called enthusiastic. "Very well," Sebastian said, "then pardon my interruption." He stood up and walked out. Now I had to get along with the fact, that I had to act in a stage play.
To distract myself I carried on with my paperwork. Unbelievable that one sole company has to do that much paperwork. Shortly after my phone rang. I called Sebastian and told him to answer the phone. I never answered the phone myself. I mean, you never know what crazy freak may call you. "Yes, my Lord." he said as he took the receiver and talked to the caller. "Phantomhive Company, Sebastian Michaelis on the phone, how may I help you?" he said with a fake excitement and joy. I saw him nod and he said "Yes, he is present. One moment, please!" He took the receiver from his ear, bent over me, whispered Elizabeth in my ear and gave me the receiver. I could have strangled him for that.
"Hello Lizzy." I said cold. She started talking and it seemed like it won't ever stop. New clothing here, new shoes there. A new pony. Great news. She wants to visit me tomorrow and tell me something really splendid. Wait, what?! "Excuse me? You want to visit me tomorrow?!" Elizabeth, she was so annoying. The worst part was, she was my fiance. If I could, I would have asked my parents, why I just had to marry her. Sure, her parents also owned a big company. But I was pretty sure, that there had to be more big company owners. Furthermore nobody had asked me, if I even wanted to be married at all. Let alone who I would have liked to marry. One thing I could assure you, it was certainly not Lizzy.
After we agreed that Lizzy will be here tomorrow at 3pm, someone knocked on my door, again. Man, what was going on today? "Come in!" I called. It was Finny. He looked ashamed on the ground. "What's wrong, Finny?" Sebastian asked. "It is about Pluto. I really didn't know that he could even do such a thing, but apparently he ate a full tree! Now he's laying in the garden, not moving anymore! Please tell me he's not dead!" Finny sniffled. "Sebastian, you go look after Pluto!" I said. "Yes, my Lord." he answered and left.
"Bocchan? Umm.. well.. by the way.. is it true, that Lady Elizabeth will be here tomorrow?" Finny asked and stared at the ground. "Unfortunately." I answered. Finny raised his head shocked. "Would it might be possible, that I could do something with her? Like playing a game?" Finny had just now, without even knowing it, saved the day. "Finny, we will talk about it tomorrow, after lunch." I replied. Moments later Sebastian came back in. "Finny, Pluto is not dead. But you should bring him to a veterinarian ASAP, best straightaway." he said. "Okay!" Finny said and left.
"Sebastian, you will tell me everything about our stage play tomorrow and show me where it will be taking place." I said. He looked at me confused. "But, that will not do. Have you already forgotten, that Lady Elizabeth will be coming tomorrow?" he asked. "Don't worry, we'll make it anyway." I said, slightly smirking. Sebastian then went again, due to he still had work to do, and he had to prepare lunch. So I also continued my work. Every day is the same. It got really boring lately. Maybe Sebastian was right, and something new would do me good. I had nothing to fear, after all, he would be right by my side.
After lunch I still had to do some paperwork. That's damn much, when you're considering that I am just thirteen years old. I could sure ask someone for help. So let's see.. Sebastian has enough to do already, I don't think, he could help me. He would surely help me, if he had enough time to do so. Mey-Rin would be too clumsy. Baldroy would probably be getting impatient eventually and burn my papers with a flamethrower. Finny is at the veterinarian with Pluto and he would probably just break anything. Tanaka also wouldn't be very helpful.
Maybe I should hire a secretary. Whereby then I would have still less to do and it would be way more boring. I was torn from my thoughts, as someone knocked at my door, again. "Come in!" I called, almost bugged. It was Sebastian, again. "Bocchan, I made you some tea." he said. "How did you know..?!" I really wanted some tea. Could he read my mind? "I am simply one hell of a butler." Sebastian answered. A thing like that he doesn't usually just do from day to day. Is something to be due? Perhaps a holiday? What ever it was, I had forgotten.
"Sebastian, what does this mean?" I asked confused. "What do you mean, Bocchan?" Sebastian questioned. I just stared at him for a while. "Don't pretend as though you don't know what I'm talking about! I never asked you for tea!" I shouted. "Bocchan, are you in a bad mood?" Sebastian asked. "No, I'm not in a bad mood, and even if I were, it's none of your business!" I retorted.
All of a sudden Sebastian walked towards me. His face was showing no emotion. I observed him intent. He looked me right into my eye. As he stood directly next to me, he knelt down and put his right hand on his chest. "Bocchan, if something's troubling you, then you can tell me. Perhaps I can help you. Don't forget, I am your butler and I obey all your orders. So don't hesitate, to entrust yourself to me." Sebastian said then and looked me, with a grin on his lips, into the eye.
Then he did something unexpected. He reached for my hand. At first he stroke all over my hand. I felt my face turning pink. He raised his head and looked into my eye. Then he lowered his head again and kissed me on the hand. I felt sudden heat building up in my face and it getting red. I turn my head to the side, so Sebastian won't notice it and pull my hand away reflexively. After that I slapped him. What was he thinking? How could he? Stupid demon.
