Ciel profusely blushed when Alois' lips brushed against his cheek, gazing at him with his eyes wide open. Unable to speak for a few moments, he simply gaped before he swallowed hard in an attempt to regain his voice. "W-What are you doing, Alois? And why are you in m-my estate?" he stammered, though his tone showed that he was attempting to be forceful. Unfortunately, it didn't work, considering that he had clearly stuttered.
"Giving you a good morning kiss, Ciel," Alois purred back, giving the other teenager a smile, though he also moved to sit back, not wanting to overdo it. "You're at my home, not yours." Cocking his head to the side, he was quite comfortable in his lace and silk pajamas, a little amused as he remembered how embarrassed Ciel had been with his bunny pajamas. "Sebastian's ill and Claude's taking care of him, remember? I didn't want you to miss breakfast..."
"Oh. That's right..." Sitting up himself, Ciel was still blushing, unable to look at Alois for a few moments. He couldn't believe that the blonde had kissed him on the cheek like that; no one had done that but his parents, the now deceased Madam Red, and Lizzie. "Any word on how Sebastian is, Alois?"
Shaking his head, Alois watched Ciel closely, a little amused that a little kiss had mortified the very serious teenager so much. "No, but we can check on them- after we eat. I'm hungry and I'm sure Hannah has breakfast ready by now." He stood carefully, before jumping off of the bed easily. Glancing back, he gave Ciel a slow smile. "After that, I must decide on Timber and Canterbury's punishment, Ciel. Did you want to contribute to it or not?"
Climbing off, rather than leaping as the way more energetic Alois had, Ciel listened, thinking for a few moments. He'd punished people before, though the smile had him wondering just what Alois would choose for the two that had hurt Sebastian so badly. His blush faded at that though, a dark look entering into his blue eyes. Did he want in on deciding their punishment? The answer to that was a resounding yes. Even if there was a fight, there was no reason they should have touched Sebastian against his will.
Ciel, personally, did not know if his contracted demon was even sexually active. He never discussed it with him, for Ciel himself had little to no interest in it at the present time. He was young yet and therefore would likely not want to engage in sex for at least two, perhaps three more years. At least, that was his honest opinion. "Of course I do, Alois. It may be your servants that violated Sebastian but Sebastian is my butler. Any such actions against him are a reflection on me. I won't allow one of mine to be hurt without... proper retribution."
Alois' smile turned into a smirk, a flash of something within his paler blue eyes. "We'll discuss it at length after eating and checking on Sebastian, since I know you're worried about him. I have complete confidence in Claude, though; I'm sure Sebastian will be fine." He knew Claude wouldn't fail him in caring for Sebastian, though he did hope that Sebastian did not get well too quickly. Otherwise, Ciel would leave and Alois didn't like that idea.
Ciel nodded, following Alois as he led the way out of his room and to the dining hall. Briefly wondering what Mey-Rin and Finnian were up to, he reasoned that if they'd been doing their usual antics, he'd have gotten complaints by now, so he figured that for the time being, they'd found something to amuse themselves. At least they wouldn't see him in these blue oversized pajamas with little pink bunnies on them. The ends of the sleeves were folded up to show his hands, while the legs covered his feet completely.
"I'm not worried about Claude not taking proper care of him, Alois," Ciel told him seriously, looking at the other boy. "But I've never Sebastian so weak and helpless before; it's actually kind of surprising to me. For some reason I thought he could never be hurt, because he is a demon."
Less jealous now that he heard that, Alois listened as Ciel finished speaking. "It's because he was hurt by other demons, Ciel. Before, it's mostly been humans, if I recall correctly. And that one Shinigami- that really weird red-headed one... Anyway, Claude told me that only demons or angels can really hurt demons. Had it been anything else, Sebastian probably could have healed instantaneously."
