"I hope you know...once you agree to this...you'll never go through the gates of heaven..."
"Just do it!"
With that the demon slightly chuckles before he simply nods. Right then, the agreement was set

Curtains were suddenly drawn back and a light poured onto the sleeping figure on the bed. "Good morning young master." Harry spoke with a small smile and turned to him. His smile went to a frown when the boy huffs and hides more in his blankets. "You mustn't do this this morning young master...there's much to be done."
Louis huffs as he sits up right as Harry is placing the tea on the nightstand. "Here is your morning tea. Breakfast shall be served shortly..." He mentions
Louis only huffs and sips his tea. He glances to the cup and speaks. "Earl grey? This normally isn't the morning tea." He states before taking another sip.
Harry only hums as he begins to gather his master's clothing. "Always time for a change young master." He speaks as Louis only sips quietly. He allows Harry to dress him which isn't too bothering for him. It's a normal thing for the two
"When will my guest be here today?" Louis asks as he places his cup of tea on the nightstand and allows Harry to put his shoes on. He watches as the tall lanky man puts them on and all he could think of is how much shorter the man is than him. He didn't know why he was super short. He is eighteen after all.
Harry hums and stands up allowing Louis to as well. He pulls on his patch to cover his eye. "Should be here by supper time sir." He said putting his hands behind his back and glancing to the young master who nods.
"Then I expect this house to be clean by then." He said as he slowly walks out and leaves the butler to watch him with his red eyes.
With that he walked out seconds later and was nearly ran over by someone running past quickly. He steps back and watches as Niall falls onto the ground along with a crash of the plates. The butler sighs and puts his hand on his head with a frustrated look. Silly house servants.
The gardener and the chef run in and gasp at Niall. "God dammit Niall you and your clumsiness." Liam mutters as he helps Niall to his feet.
"I can't help it the floor was waxed and well I just tripped." He said with a slight shrug and a small blush
"You should of still been careful! If Harry sees this he-"
Harry cleared his throat and the two jumps and looks to Harry. "I've seen all of this." He said to Zayn who looks away. "Now please clean this up Niall and Zayn...we need to have the food prepared for tonight. Liam...make the garden look presentable." He said.
They all said yes sir in unison and ran in all different directions. Harry sighs once more and he walks the other way to go do his butler duties.

It was hours later and surprisingly everything went well. Nothing burned, or broke, or anything too disastrous. A carriage pulls up in front of the awaiting butler and he smiles. A man steps out of the carriage and is surprised at the surroundings. "Welcome to the Tomlinson estate my lord." The butler says giving the man a bow.
The man smiles and is led inside. "The place is lovely." The man said and the butler smiles at that.
"I'm sure the young master will be delighted to hear your compliment..." He said. The man furrows his eyebrows when he hears "young" he doesn't have time to say anything as the butler opens the door and allows the man to walk into Louis's office.
Louis doesn't look up but instead focuses on his work. "Young master..." Harry speaks. Louis doesn't look up and continues to write. "Your guest from Italy has arrived."
Louis eventually looks up and looks to the man with an expressionless face. "Very well...fetch us tea Harry." He said. Harry gives him a bow and leaves the two alone.
It is silent for a while so the man speaks. "Mr. Tomlinson I would like..."
"Do you want to play a game?" He asked. The man is taken back by that and takes a moment before speaking.
"A game sounds nice." He said with a small smile. Louis stays emotionless before standing up from his chair and walks over to two chairs in the room and a small table in the middle. On this table a game is sprawled out and Louis looks to him.
"Have a seat." He said motioning to the chair in front of the one he slowly sits in and then crosses his legs. He locks his fingers together and looks to the older man with a small smirk. "You'll go first..." He speaks

"Mr. Tomlinson I would really like to..."
"Damn...I am stuck in the haunted forest." He said looking to the game and laying back before closing his eyes with a sigh. The man looks to the board game and then to Louis. "I lost a turn...it is your turn." He said and looks to him with the same expressionless face.
The man sighs and rolls his dice before he moves his character. He moves his character before he continues. "Sir I would really like to discuss the trading to India." He said. He finishes moving his piece and he looks to Louis. The boy's eyes are trained on the board and he waits for an answer.
"You lose a leg." He said. The man frowns and looks to the board game himself. He sees a picture of a man having his leg chopped off.
"This game is a little gruesome don't you think?" He mentions hoping to get small talk out of the smaller boy. Louis only hums and leans his head back against the chair.
"Your move...I lost a turn." He reminds.
The man tries not to let out a sigh but he rolls the dice anyway and moves his piece once more. "Now Mr. Tomlinson about the trade for India-"
"You are staked and caught on fire...seems like a tragic streak for you..." Louis speaks.
The man is silent and is about to speak up but Harry walks in right then and gives the two a kind smile. "Dinner is ready..." He announces. Louis keeps his eyes on the board before he nods and stands up
"Very well...we'll continue our game after." He said completely ignoring the subject about the trade leaving the man to sigh and follow after him
A/N Once again...if any of this confuses you. I suggest you watch the anime. I am basing it off of that. It is called Black Butler if you haven't caught that already. :)
Also I know I said I would have this be coming soon but I couldn't resist. I was so pumped about this.
