Thanks for reading! Please let me know if you enjoy! I don't own any of Black Butler!

——————————————————————

Ciel, the new Earl Phantomhive, narrowed his eyes at his butler, Sebastian, as the tall man placed a cup of tea on his desk.

Sebastian was frowning again today.

That annoyed Ciel.

Sebastian was normally the proper, dapper servant, the perfect, charming gentleman.

Something was wrong with him lately.

His usual smile had faded.

He wore a frown most of the day, his mind had become scattered, he forgot intricate details about day to day activities.

Things that he never forgot before.

What was wrong?

Ciel scolded him, over and over, but so far, that hadn't really worked out very well.

The bluenette scowled.

Now that the Phantomhive Earl had reached manhood, he understood the complexities of the adult world better.

Sebastian was a man...........

Men had.........needs.

Did Sebastian need......something?

Or someone?

Ciel blushed.

The Earl didn't want to know details, he just wanted Sebastian back. Normal Sebastian as his perfect, attentive butler.

To achieve that, he was willing to make him a generous offer.

Even though it irked Ciel greatly.

"Sebastian!" Ciel said suddenly.

"My lord?!" Sebastian asked as he jumped.

Ciel seemed to have startled him out of his thoughts.

"I order you to take this evening off. I want you to leave the manor, forget this place, and return to me tomorrow. I don't know what's been troubling you lately, but get it off your mind. It's affecting your work." Ciel huffed.

"My lord....." Sebastian began.

"An order, Sebastian." Ciel commanded, going back to his paperwork.

"Yes, my lord." Sebastian bowed.

That evening, Sebastian sat, riding in the carriage Ciel had forced him to take, as it rolled towards London.

He had removed his uniform. Now, he wore only a white shirt, black tie, and his black trousers.

His raven-Black hair was as neatly combed as always, his shoes perfectly polished.

Coins jingled in his pocket. Ciel had given him a bit of money to "clear his mind".

Whatever that meant.

Sebastian still frowned.

Now that Ciel had sent him away for the night, what was he supposed to do?

He had many things that needed to be done at home.

Why this?

Once Sebastian arrived in London, he exited the carriage and began to walk around.
