The First Sin [Sebastian x Claude]

Chapter 3 - The Game

Sebastian stopped under the overhead ledge that shadowed the front of the manor from the rain. Swiftly closing the umbrella, he firmly flicked his wrist, shooting the raindrops off. He gave a small smile, entering the jaws of the estate. He placed the now dry umbrella back into the silver stand. Resting a gentle hand on his chest, he looked down at the kitten who poked her head out. Sebastian smiled sweetly down at her, walking off towards the large bathroom. Setting the feline down on the counter, the butler removed his gloves, exposing his black fingernails and contract symbol. He began to fill the sink up with warm water, the kitten curiously watching him. Once the warm bath was prepared, Sebastian scooped up the small black cat, slowly setting her inside the heated pool.

"There we are~" The butler cooed softly, smiling as he watched the feline squirm around in the water. Sebastian began to carefully clean her. His gentle hand stroked her wet pelt, massaging only the finest of soaps into her jet black fur. The demon was quick, wanting to get the feline dried up. He scooped up the cat in a large white towel, purring softly as he held the bundle like a newborn. Exiting the bathroom, Sebastian headed down the long hallway. Stepping into his personal quarters, the demon set down the bundle. The black cat slowly crawled out, giving a quiet mew as she examined the new territory. Finding comfort on a pillow, the cat curled up, almost immediately falling asleep. Sebastian admired the beauty for a moment before walking up to her, stroking her back. He spent a few more seconds grooming the cat before exiting with the damp towel.

"So much to do..~" The ravanette butler cooed to himself, running a hand down his tie to keep it smooth. Meanwhile, the two boys were still up. Ciel laid in bed, both hands resting on his stomach, fingers interlaced. Alois was on his stomach, tracing designs on the goose-stuffed pillows. He hugged it, snuggling his pale face into the soft cotton.

"Hey, Ciel.. What do you think of playing a game?" Alois muffled into the pillow, his small smirk hidden. The blue-haired male glanced over at the other, raising an eyebrow slowly. He shifted a touch, intrigued at the word "game."

"Game..? What type?" Ciel asked, keeping his head turned. Alois grinned, flipping onto his side. He propped his head up with his hand, the boy's elbow resting on the pillow. He slowly raised his finger, twirling it in the air.

"I want to test our butlers... They react to one another like oil and water. Don't you think it would be amusing to order them to complete errands together?~"The Trancy boy slyly said, drumming his fingers together. He tilted his head, awaiting Ciel's response. Ciel's eyes were wide, his mouth slowly curving into a sinister smirk. He turned on his side as well, pushing his hair away from his face.

"That does sound rather intriguing.." The Phantomhive replied, scanning the other's mischievous face. Alois giggled suddenly, clapping his hands together. He flopped onto his back, raising his arms up.

"This will be so fun! And it means I can stay longer!~" Alois pointed out, now squirming back and forth in excitement. Ciel slowly groaned, nodding faintly. He rolled back onto his back, looking up at the ceiling. This was quite a change in pace for the earl. He never imagined himself allowing Alois staying over for not one night, but multiple. Though, with this new game in mind, Ciel couldn't resist. He loved it when there was a twist. Alois was squirming around still, unable to remain put. He was growing excited about the thought. He let out a laugh, suddenly rolling over and grabbing Ciel. He hugged the Phantomhive against his body, giddily propping his chin on top of the boy's head. Ciel gasped, his eyes instantly widening. He looked over at the other, pinned and unable to move. He couldn't suppress the bloom of pink that grew on his cheeks.

"A-Alois.." Ciel breathed, unable to free himself from the Trancy's grip. Alois opened his eyes slowly, smiling at the other. He slowly weaved his slim fingers though Ciel's hair, playing with his locks.
