dreamgirl: Ok, so how many of you have seen the first episode of the new season? I won't spoil anything for those who haven't seen it yet but let me just say this, I am disappointed. Not by what happens later on, but at that one thing that happens at the very beginning. I mean, I started crying when I saw that. After I stopped crying I got nauseous and threw up. Now, I don't have a weak stomach, nor am I emotionally weak but that scene was just too much for me. Why do all anime/manga have to go that way? It would've been fine without the non-con (at least it's a theory right now that it was non-con). It took me a while to get over that, but after what happens later on, I fangirled but that thing at the beginning is still on my mind. Hence, I was inspired to update with a new chapter and add in some fluff (although small amounts) and some lulz!
disclaimer: I swear to God, I wish I owned Kuroshitsuji so I could change all of the shit that's going on right now (well, probably not ALL of it ;D) but I don't. Yana Toboso does.
Chapter 26
Ciel couldn't believe how incredibly stupid he was for letting the newcomers, Agni and Soma, to stay at his residence. It seemed apparent that he liked picking up strays (Leviathan very much included). And although he had no problem with the Indians staying at his mansion, the teen felt the repercussions of his decision the next morning.
Agni had just woken him up instead of Sebastian and that was a bad way to start your morning in itself. While Ciel raged, the prince, Soma, carried him off the bed and held him in his arms.
"We're going out, Little One. Show us around."
"Why should I have to?" Ciel was outraged at this point. "And I have a proper name. It's Ciel, not 'Little One'."
"Then, Ciel, I ask that you be our guide." Soma leapt over the bed and was almost out the door when Sebastian appeared in front of them.
"Sorry to intrude, but the young master has studies and work duties to attend to today." Said the demon-butler.
Ciel was pissed but relieved at the same time. "Where the bloody hell were you, Sebastian?"
The butler bowed, "I am sorry, my lord, it seems that Agni came to wake you up before I did. Nevertheless, that is inexcusable of a Phantomhive servant."
The blue-eyed boy glared at the hint of sarcasm his lover had on his tongue. He quickly forgot about it though, paying more attention to the teen holding him in the air. "Can you have some manners and put me the hell down?"
Soma chuckled and did as he was told, "Haha, sorry. Anyway, when can you show me around?"
"Are you deaf? Sebastian just told you; I have work to do and studies to attend to. Unlike you, I'm busy. Now, if you will, I need to get dressed."
The foreign prince seemed a bit disheartened but allowed Ciel his privacy…until a later time.
'When am I ever going to get these goddamned things done!' Ciel thought to himself.
Soma had not only interrupted his violin lessons, but he interfered with his fencing lessons as well. Along with his French, Latin, dancing, and etiquette lessons as well. The only time he had to himself was when he sent Agni and Sebastian to get dinner ready and he was obligated to do some paperwork. Soma thought that was too boring so he didn't want to be around and he left him alone.
It was now a quarter to ten and the British teen still hadn't finished his work.
'Oh well, I'll make Sebastian finish up the rest later.'
Ciel opened his desk drawer, pulled out some playing cards, slid out of his chair and walked out of his office.
He walked into his room and settled the cards on the table; "Even you should know the rules to Old Maid, right?" Soma seemed surprised, "My tasks for today are all finished. I'll play with you until I retire for the night."
"Ciel…"
"It's not for your sake or anything. I'm playing with you because I'm bored." The young Phantomhive lord did not sympathize the foreigner. Not one bit…. or so he told himself.
The younger teen offered up the cards and the prince said, "Sorry, but I have things to do."
Ciel froze, "What?"
"Unlike you, I'm busy." Soma got up from his chair, "Agni, we're going out."
The loyal slave ran to cloth him at once, "Yes."
As he walked out the door, Soma shot back, "If you don't go to sleep early, you won't grow, Little Ciel. See you!"
And with that, the teen was left alone. Still in shock. Lau came in blabbering some unnecessary things and Ciel sent him away.
He crumbled up the cards in his hands, "That little piece of—"
"Angry, young master?"
Ciel looked towards where he heard the voice coming from, "Vexed is more like it."
Sebastian kneeled down to his master's height, "Yes, yes, I see." The demon began unbuttoning Ciel's clothes.
"I just cannot stand it when I have my own words thrown back at me!"
"Then perhaps the young master should choose his words wisely." Sebastian smirked as he looked into Ciel's eye.
The teen stood up so that now he was standing above his butler, "Since when have you become a smartass?"
"Haven't I always been?"
'There's that stupid grin of his,' Ciel thought.
"Don't get cocky with me, Sebastian." The young earl scoffed.
The demon brought up the boy's hand and brushed his lips against it, "It's a natural demon tendency. Shall I teach you more of it, my lord?"
Ciel quirked an eyebrow before giving his butler a seductive look, "I guess you should since we haven't gotten the chance for my 'lessons' today."
"Why so eager? The young master is never like this."
The blue-eyed boy grabbed Sebastian's waistcoat and brought their faces close to each other, "Shut up."
The younger boy planned on kissing the ebony-haired man but by that time Sebastian had already pushed him towards the bed and it all began anew.
And somewhere, through the crack of an opening, the eyes of a certain redheaded maid who was now sporting a nosebleed could see all.
'Sebastian and the young master? But whatever happened to Master Leviathan?' Maylene thought.
Of course, misunderstandings could be made if all you do is peek through a door.
When breakfast was served in the morning, Ciel felt as if his clumsy maid was acting a bit strange around him. She wouldn't look at him in the eye nor would she talk directly to him.
Example one:
"Maylene, get me a new pair of silverware."
The redhead shuffled around a few times before getting the silverware and passing it to Finny for him to give it to the young earl.
And that wasn't the end of it. Lately, she seemed to be on very good terms with the prince and his slave. Ciel often saw them whispering to each other and watching him with intent eyes.
The boy face-palmed, 'Why must my servants be such idiots? And not only them but that horrid prince as well!'
Of course, Ciel wasn't the only one who noticed this as well. Sebastian had known all this time, pretending to be oblivious to things was one of his strong points.
'I wonder how the young master will react if he found out…'
That's when the wheels began to turn and a familiar evil smirk was plastered on the demon's flawless features.
dreamgirl: Seriously, I just wrote whatever came to mind. I actually like it. It brings some calmness before the storm. I just want to hurry up and get to the end of this story, I have such an awesome idea and I want to post it already! Don't get me wrong, I love writing this fic, but I wish to spread my happiness with the world! Seeing as how SOME people *coughSquareEnixcough* like to throw loads of shit at us and then suddenly pull a trump card from their ass like it's nothing -_- I'm sorry, my rant is now over. PLEASE REVIEW!
