Sorry I kept you all waiting, but I am running completely dry on ideas for the parts of the story leading up to what I actually do have ideas for. If you have a good idea, please send it in.
Around a week after the Talent Show, the trio were doing their normal daily routine. At this specific time, Klaire was assisting Sebastian with breakfast because, as per usual, he was having to fend Grell off with one hand and cook with the other. Ciel was gazing at the newspaper uninterestedly while sipping his Earl Grey tea. Suddenly, he did a spit take, causing everyone except Sebastian to jump and/or fall over in surprise. Ciel leaned forward so quickly that all his tea spilt, right onto Grell's face.
Ciel was looking at the front page of the newspaper, and then everyone crowded around to see what surprised him so much. As they did, though, there were several shouts of, "Move," but mostly, "Grell, move your gross, tea-covered self out of my way!" When they all saw the article, everyone's jaw dropped, except for Sebastian's. The article was about their performance at the Talent Show, calling it mesmerizing and wonderful. It also said that several people wanted them to be a cover band at their parties. Some even said they were better than Maroon 5 at performing their song.
"That is... unexpected," said Klaire from her spot looking over Ciel's shoulder. Suddenly, Grell jumped backward, knocking Sebastian over, and squealed, "I CALL BEING BAND MANAGER!" Klaire facepalmed, and grabbed Grell, then pulled him into the next room, left him there, and came back. "We should get back to cooking breakfast, Michy, or we'll be behind our schedule." Sebastian nodded and they went right back to their daily routine.
It was a Saturday, so everyone got to hang out at the house. Klaire and Ciel helped Sebastian finish grading, then Sebastian went grocery shopping, reluctantly letting Grell tag along. "So, Ciel, you never told me your backstory," observed Klaire. Ciel ignored her. She kept pestering him until he spilled his life story.
"So, you used to be human until this crazy Alois Trancy dude used his perverted maid to turn you into a demon so neither his butt-ler Claude nor Sebastian could have your soul, all while both of them were locked in a ninja battle?" Klaire tried to clarify the last part. "Yes, I suppose that is one way to put it," Ciel said. They found themselves leaning in, their lips inches away, until- "Would either of you like some cake?" Sebastian took in the scene before him, and three things happened at once.
1. About 1,000 ways to kill Ciel without breaking contract went through Sebastian's mind.
2. Klaire, who was very surprised and embarrassed, whipped her head around to look at Sebastian.
3. Klaire, in her surprise and embarrasment, punched Ciel in the jaw in in effort to get away from him, sending him flying into the wall.
With Ciel K.O.'d, Klaire said, "Is it cheesecake or just regular cake?"
Very, very short chapter, but I had to put something up, and now I am officially declaring writer's block.
