"Of course you can stay at my mansion tonight, Ciel. You can stay as much time as you like!" Alois exclaimed, excited by the change of plans. Ciel's plan had worked without a flaw. The manor had been burned down and now he would stay at the Trancy manor with Claude. Sebastian would be staying there too since he was now officially Ciel's butler again. Sebastian was surprised. Any other day, Ciel would have ordered him to repair the mansion immediately other than spend a night at the Trancy estate. But it benefitted Sebastian to stay there too so he decided not to mention anything and not think about it.
There was an awkward atmosphere surrounding them. On a normal day, Alois would be hitting on Ciel or Claude, Ciel would be happy to have his butler back, and Claude and Sebastian would be glad to go back to their usual masters. But in just a day, their whole perceptions had changed.
To break the silence, Alois said, "Claude, show our guests to their rooms."
"Yes, your highness." He responded back to his monotone voice.
"Actually, it's fine. I don't really need a room." Sebastian said.
At that, Sebastian and Alois were left alone as were Claude and Ciel. And truth be told, neither cared were the others had gone.
No one had dinner that night. Well, it was another kind of dinner…..
In any case, they were enjoying themselves and at one time or another, someone was bound to figure out what was happening. If the butlers weren't acting as butlers and the masters didn't care what they were doing all day then one of them had to realize what was going on. But love makes people blind. What would they care about the rest of the world when the only person they cared about was right there with them?
So how was this going to keep happening? How could they keep this from ending? Well, why not just go back to how it all started in the first place? At around midnight, Alois went around the mansion looking for Ciel. He finally found him in the kitchen and began, "Ciel, why don't we play a game of chess?"
Ciel deliberated his choices. He could go play chess with Alois or go back to his room with Claude. He finally decided to avoid suspicion and agreed to the chess game.
"Ciel, shall we make another bet?" Alois asked innocently.
"No sex." He answered, stating his only condition.
"Of course not. How about if I win, I keep Sebastian forever?"
Ciel was a little shocked by his request. Was he ready to lose his butler if he lost this game? That would mean he could keep Claude but still… Now, this was the moment had to make his decision. Ciel sat up straight and looked Alois in the eye. He opened his mouth and uttered the words…..
Hmmmm I wonder what he said? Forgive me for the cliffhanger but I need to decide how this story's gonna go. I hope you liked it thus far.
