"Ciel... Sir? It's time to wake up." A voice - thick with an accent - whispered softly. Ciel stirred in his sleep, his consciousness stirring. "Um... Ciel? Sir?" Ciel groaned silently, rubbing his eye as he reluctantly pulled away from the comforting grasp of sleep.

"Good morning!" Agni beamed when Ciel sat up. The young blunet jumped, his mind entering a frenzy. His vision was blurred with sleep and he couldn't tell who was before him; all he knew was that it wasn't Sebastian. "Namaste*, Ciel Sir. Breakfast has already been prepared." By now, Ciel's eyesight was in tip-top shape and he recognized the person who woke him up as Agni.

"Wh...." His mind couldn't seem to wrap around the idea of being woken up by Agni. "What are you doing in my room?!" His question, sadly, went unanswered as Agni scooped him up. The duo failed to notice the door opening.

"Excuse me," were the first words to leave Nagisa's mouth. He already knew that Agni was there - he assumed to wake up Ciel, which turned out to be correct - but he wasn't prepared for...this.

"The food will get cold if you don't hurry!" The white-haired man sang, grinning widely. Ciel growled, slamming his palms against Agni's head before attempting to push himself away.

"Wait a second! What the hell is this?!" The Young Master bellowed, his voice drowning in annoyance. Nagisa hid an amused smile behind his palm; he barely held in his laughter. With the ghost of a smile gracing his crepe pink lips, he stepped forward.

"Hand him to me. I can take it from here," Nagisa stretched his arms out as if he were being given a baby. Agni seemed slightly disheartened, but who was he to refuse such a precious child? Maintaining his bright smile, he passed Ciel to Nagisa as if he were a baby. Naturally, Ciel flushed a bright scarlet.

"Stop treating me like a baby!" He cried, squirming in Nagisa's arms.

"Of course, Young Master," Nagisa responded, his voice smooth as silk. It was a miracle he was keeping his cool; inside, he couldn't stop laughing. The second Ciel was standing straight, he made a 'hmph' sound and crossed his arms, turning his head away from Nagisa and Agni. Nagisa used this opportunity to turn his face away from Ciel and laugh quietly.

He'd never be caught dead blushing that brightly.

"Oh? It's been lively here since this morning," Lau's voice suddenly cut through the air. If it was possible, Ciel managed to blush even more furiously. Nagisa jumped, startled by the ravenet's sudden appearance. He quickly scolded himself for letting his guard down. Agni, on the other hand, remained as radiant as the sun with his smile.

Lau soon turned around to leave, but, Nagisa stopped him. There was just one thing he needed to ask - a question he never thought he'd have to ask.

"Wait! Can you pass a message to Sebastian for me?"

Brisk footsteps were muffled by a woolen carpet. Trolley wheels seemed to struggle to keep up with the pace of the butler pushing it. Falu red eyes were filled to the brim with annoyance. The glimmering orbs soon locked on to a figure clad in a changshan exiting an all too familiar bedroom a ways away.

Lau's usual grin grew a little larger when he caught sight of the lanky butler. After quickening his steps, he made it to Sebastian's side. However, by that time he'd already forgotten Nagisa's request. 'Oh well,' he mentally shrugged, 'I'll remember eventually.'

The two began to walk in line, a comfortable silence enveloping them. Sadly, that silence was short-lived, much to a certain butler's chagrin*.

"SEBAAAAAASTIAAAAAN!!" Finny, Mey-rin and Bard yelled as they sprinted to Sebastian. His brow subtly twitched before he spun on his heel, facing the panting mess that was the chaotic trio. Lau followed suit, ready to soak up the interaction before him as if he were a sponge.
