Black Butler: Dangling From The Web

~Idiots~

Ciel screams himself awake as it echoed down the hall. He woke from the same dream, the one memory that wouldn't leave him alone.

Sebastain was preparing the morning meal, he had managed to do the outdoor chores before anyone had awaken, since demons don't really get any sleep. He checked the time from his pocket watch and knew his master would need to wake soon, he stopped when he heard the scream. As quick as lighting he broke the door down and rushed towards his master.

"Master?!" he quickly went to fetch him a glass of water and came back with it, as helped him drink...Ciel looked bothered "you're awake now Master, I am sorry about the door..."

Ciel looked at the door and sighed "it's fine...just renew it later" he spoke with annoyance in his tone. He sighed as he looked up at Sebastian the beautiful sapphire blue eyes sparkling a bit, as his grayish blue hair falls back showing the eyes patch on his right eye.

"Been some time since you've waken up this way, do you need time to recover?...." The butler asked, looking back with light redish brown eyes, and black hair falling to the sides of his face. He wore a soft, small smile as he looked at his master.

"No, I'm fine...just forget it even happened..." his legs swing over to the side of the bed and he sits waiting for his morning routine with Sebastian, being undressed then dressed again, going into the studies and out again...eating sweets and spoiling dinner, then suddenly getting another task from the queen.

"Yes, my lord...." He adjusts his coat and starts to remove Ciel's night shirt "today I have prepared a light breakfast...and after tea, you have studies until the afternoon tea" starts to slip on his day shirt and buttons it up "does this bore you master?...." He begins to slip on his pair of long shorts and socks.

"Yes, it does bore me a bit...try to make it a little less boring from now on" he closes his eyes while Sebastian tied the bow around his neck and slipped on his jacket. Ciel yawns and walks out of the room and head towards the studies as his butler follows.

Seb grins... he follows his master to his chair as he sits at the small table for breakfast. Seb sets the table and lays out the meal "here's your tea, enjoy your breakfast my lord" the butler sighs "your tutor had to cancel today, I can reschedule him or..."

"Is this tea Earl Grey?"

"Yes, it is. Excellent observation my lord..." Seb smiles a bit bowing at his master, and stepped back as he waited for any orders.

"It isn't much of observation, just the smell...it is my favorite" he sets down the tea cup and looks at his breakfast feeling sick, he gently pushes it away "hmm...I don't seem to be hungry at all...please take it....it makes me feel sick" he sighs bored.

"Yes my lord..." he clears the table and watches his master walk over to his desk to catch up on business and work on his studies "would you want an herbal tea for your upset stomach?"

"No, I'm fine...it'll go away" he doesn't look up at Sebastian he just keeps his head down in his work, reading and writing, everything looked the same. Waking up to repeat the same simple tasks everyday...boring it is....boring. He needed entertainment, something to give him a little break from all the work...the tired, bored expression on his face showed. Sebastian noticed the look on the young boys face, and came up with a plan.

Seb nods and goes out the door and down to the kitchen..

Finny there setting the firewood down..."morning sebastain! Why are you throwing that away?.. looks really good..." Seb explains about the master feeling ill.... and Fin promises to do all his chores quietly. Soon, the word of mouth spreads.. it seems by the time Mey-Rin hears the news and thought the master was dying. She rushed up to his study room and knocked on the door but she couldn't contain it...she stumbles in and he jumps shocked spilling the tea on himself "huh?"

"master!..." she drops to her knees in front of him " you look so healthy! you are so brave master!!...Yes you are, the bravest master ever! Even if you die now you will be the bravest master I have ever known!.." she starts to cry.

He growled and stood up soaked with the hot tea spilt on him "what the devil are you talking about?!"

"Bardroy said your stomach... that ... that you couldn't eat anymore... and...." She cries more as a loud explosion rocks the castle, it came from the kitchen...typical thing that happens when the chef Bard is in the kitchen, Rin freaks out a bit "just tell me what I can do to make your day easier. I can take your tea and refill it...i got the hot water right here!" Her hand shakes as she adjusts her glasses, "you don't have to be so brave master...."

"Mey-Rin!" he grabs her hand as she almost spilled hot water, his hands were soft with a nice touch that sent a chill down the spine.

She shivers a bit "I'm sorry master! I'm sorry! You have been so kind to us... I want to repay you with excellent service! I promise it. Yes. I promise!" he sets the hot pot down and she returns to her cleaning and polishing.

Seb steps into the room "i am sorry for the explosion... Bardroy decided to cook with dynamite again"

The master closes his eyes and he hangs his head down...slowly giggles, giggling turns into laughter...he laughs and throws his head back holding his stomach "...oh these idiots make me laugh, first maid thought I was dying and now the chef has used dynamite to cook...why aren't I firing these people?" he stops laughing but still has a small smile, he sits back in his chair but still soaked in hot tea "Sebastian..." he called him but Sebastian didn't need to ask what was wrong, the tea stain was visible on the clothing.

The butler smiles "I'm afraid I made Fin believe that something was wrong.. and the word spread that way, Bardroy insisted for me to relax and now we have a blown up kitchen...once again..." He grins and then sternly stares at the stain, and walks over to his master "I didn't know you bathed in earl gray as well..." The butler teases as he grabs another shirt for his master.

He sighed annoyed "just change my clothes and shut your mouth..." he stands holding his arms up so Sebastian could slip off the shirt.

Seb bows and changes the shirt, reties the bow and smiles, "i will bring you lunch soon young master" another explosion... The Butler sighs as Fin and Mey starts yelling..."honestly, those two..." He mumbles as he exits the study room.

The master sat in his chair as he tried to relax a bit, spins the chair around to face the window, he looked out and saw them running out of the mansion afraid of Sebastian yelling at them, he laughed a bit as he leaned back in his chair. Slowly his eyes began to relax and close, he falls asleep starting up a dream.
