Brother

Chapter 17

"There's more of you!?!?"

Ciel asked bewildered. Sebastian, however answered calmly, his usual smile spread out on his face.

"Yes, although he lives in Japan, the city of Bunkyo to be precise."

Ciel felt rather offended that he wasn't told any of this earlier. He had always just assumed his butler had no family, so he never asked. Now he was discovering that Sebastian had more family that he did. Ciel sighed,

"Will I ever get to meet this, kyo?"

Sebastian shrugged and Ciel's brow twitched.

"If you do meet him it'll most likely be through Iza considering Kyo and I never did get along."

This piqued Ciel's interest and he asked curiously,

"Why might that be?"

Sebastian's face darkened considerably and he stayed quiet for a while.

"He's the youngest so Iza taught him almost everything he knows. Kyo's always been his favorite."

Ciel cringed at the obvious rivalry his butler had with their younger brother. He couldn't judge however, if he were in that situation he would most likely be jealous and as well. Sebastian's eyes glazed over and a small frown made it's was into his face.

"I see..."

Ciel didn't quite know what to say, the faraway look in his eye glazed over as well as he thought of the new change in his position. The new knowledge that Izaya played favorites was clouding his judgment as to how he should move. Ciel refused to admit it, even to himself, but he had just grown jealous of a man he had never met. It was a thought he would have refused to allow his mind to indulge in, but he couldn't help it. Izaya was strange, perhaps it was that his scent was stronger than average, perhaps it was something else. Izaya's presence was paternal in a way. Ciel always found himself wishing to be carried and cared for, tucked in and woken up. Only to now discover, that the place he wanted had already been filled. Ciel shook his head to rid himself of the thought, the action startling his butler out of his own similar thoughts. In the end, Ciel decided to hold his chin up and act as the earl he was. He should start with the trio that had invaded his manor, correct? Nodding to himself Ciel did just that, a single man will not change his plans.

"Come, Sebastian."
