Chapter Twenty-Seven: Sebastian's Sense of Humor (Sebastian's P.O.V.)

All day long, the servants have been lurking behind me with a camera. I didn't see the purpose to going to such lengths to take a photograph of me, but then again, the young Lord managed to confuse even me sometimes. It was cemented in my mind how badly he wanted to take a secret photograph of me when he desperately went to Lau for help. I must admit, I wasn't surprised that Chiyo joined in with the madness and the angry pout on her face when I denied her a kiss was cute.

I served the young master and Lau dinner and made sure Bard wasn't blowing up the kitchen and was actually eating his own dinner, before taking care of the dishes. I noticed someone was missing from the servants eating dinner.

"Where is Chiyo?" I asked.

"Last I saw, she was sitting out in the garden with Pluto," Mey-Rin said.

"She was there when I came in too," Finny said, "She was asleep on the grass. It's getting dark out though. We should see if she's still there."

"Never mind that. I will go get her in a moment," I said.

The servants finished dinner and hurried away and I finished taking care of the dishes. When that was completed, I headed out to the garden. When I arrived, I saw Chiyo laying in the grass, with Pluto laying on her stomach. Both were asleep. Fortunately, Pluto had reverted to his dog form, so it wasn't as disturbing as his naked human form laying on her. I leaned down to wake her up, but I sensed the young master was in danger.

I hurried to his side in time to protect him from a statue crashing down onto his head. Suspicious. The garden suddenly lit up and Ciel looked at me with his usual, emotionless glare.

"Took you long enough," he said.

"I'm sorry, my Lord. I was finishing the dishes and checking on Chiyo."

"Is she well?"

"Yes, she's asleep."

"Good."

Oh dear, it seems I allowed ten seconds to pass. I'll have to take care of that. I pulled the young Lord up and dusted him off.

"Well, I have work to do before bed," Ciel said, walking inside, "Go ahead and do whatever it is you have left to do."

I headed back to the garden to retrieve a certain fire-breathing demon hound. I stood down the hall from the room where the servants were developing the photograph. I heard screams and the sound of roaring flames. I couldn't help but smile a little knowing that their photographic evidence was destroyed. Pluto came running to me, panting and smiling, even though I had forced him to wear his suit once again. I gave him a treat, which he collapsed and began to eat. 

"Pluto, go sit with Chiyo," I said. He perked up and dashed off. At least he would keep her warm, but I had to check on the young master. I knocked and when it was silent, I entered. The young master was asleep, leaning on his hand on the arm of his chair. 

"My Lord, it's not good for you to sleep like this. You're going to strain your neck," I said. He didn't reply. Fast asleep. I noticed the camera sitting on one corner of his desk. I wonder, what I would see if I took a picture of him? Either way it would irritate him without violating our contract in any way. I quietly took the picture. This would be a perfect revenge for having those clumsy servants chasing me around all day. I took the camera with as I went outside to the garden. Chiyo was still there and Pluto was laying across her stomach again snoring. I placed the camera so I could only see her face and waited for the camera to finish. Perhaps I would keep this photograph. I shooed Pluto off of her and picked her up. She stirred slightly before leaning into my chest and being still again. It sent a rush of pride through me when she curled into me and slept soundly. I headed back to the door to the manor when Pluto started growling and I heard a loud yell.
