Short drabble based off a fanart meme on DeviantArt. It's a stupid little thing (the story). Don't know if I'll do anything with it because I didn't even know what I was doing with it when I was writing it.

Warning for Alois being Alois and for slight shota-con.

Butler Swap

For some reason they decided to switch butlers. Maybe it was because Alois wouldn't stop heckling Ciel or maybe it was because Sebastian was being more infuriating than usual. It was mid morning now, Sebastian set off earlier in the morning and Claude was to arrive soon. Ciel was in his office working on some paperwork. The next thing he knew Claude was standing in front of him. He thought he'd warn Claude about the other residents of the household.

"I don't know if Sebastian warned you but the other servants tend to make a mess of things instead of help, if you recall at that so called party. I don't know how you'll keep them in line. Just don't kill them."

"Yes…" Claude didn't know how he should address the young Earl.

"Ah, you may just call me Lord or young master. Why you call that brat Highness still baffles me. Also how you survived without killing him already. I met him for a day and I couldn't wait to get away from him." Ciel glanced up at Claude. Claude nodded and felt his lips twitch in amusement.

"Yes, young master. Sebastian did not say anything about the other servants here but I shall keep the place in order if I must. He did give me your schedule for the day." Ciel frowned at that, hoping that Sebastian wouldn't have even said anything to Claude but of course his butler had to be infuriating at every turn. Claude started listing what was on his schedule like Sebastian did earlier that morning.

"Must I have tutoring today? Especially history. That subject is dull and boring. I have paperwork to do." Claude raised his eyebrow at the boy and was about to comment when the doors to the study burst open and in fell Mei-rin.

"I'm sorry! I tripped! Young master!" She yelled out and kept apologizing. Claude, who went on guard as soon as he heard someone outside the doors, relaxed and looked at Ciel wondering what to do. Ciel just sighed and yelled over Mei-rin.

"What is it Mei-rin?" That snapped her out of her embarrassment and she sprung up.

"Your history tutor called. She will not be able to make it today and had to reschedule for next week." Ciel suppressed the grin from forming on his face and nodded at Mei-rin. She took that as a sign to leave but not before looking at Claude and then doing a double take because it wasn't the usual butler. As soon as she closed the doors they heard another muffled thump and Mei-rin apologizing and then laughing at why she apologized to a wall.

"Looks as if my schedule has opened up."

"I'm afraid to say that Sebastian seemed to have an inkling this would happen. He told me that if it were to happen to have you practice your violin."

"That bastard!" Ciel seethed. He didn't want to do anything but get through as must paperwork as he could. Due to expansion and new products he had an increase in workload.

"Young master. How about we compromise?" Ciel looked at Claude and gave him an inquiring look. "I shall tutor you in history but instead of the allotted time given for the tutor I will do it in half the time. You won't have to practice your violin and you will have more time to finish up paperwork." Claude hoped Ciel would accept the offer. History appealed to him because it amused him what was written in history books and he was there for most of the events, so he knew some facts were wrong. Also he wanted to teach someone that wasn't Alois. Ciel regarded Claude. The offer appealed to him more than music and he only had to put up with it for half the time. Since the lesson usually ended at lunchtime, Sebastian forced him out of his office to eat. But if the time was cut in half, then he could work and then request to have lunch in his office letting him work through lunch. Ciel nodded at Claude agreeing to it. "I just need the text you are studying from." Ciel pointed towards the bookshelf and, because he knew Sebastian would look, got out his notebook that he used for history. The notebook was full of half-hearted notes about history. He only took notes so Sebastian would keep making him sweets, if he didn't then he'd get less but if he scored badly on a quiz, they were taken away for a week. He opened the notebook and looked at Claude ready to begin.

-Trancy Household-

Sebastian felt like breaking something. That something happened to be Alois Trancy's neck. Let's see why, shall we?

Right when he appeared in front of the boy he said he wanted to play. Sebastian nodded. The next thing he knew he was wearing a black and white maid's outfit and the boy was wearing a short black tutu with a red corset over it. For some reason the boy kept dancing around and saying 'Ole!' But Sebastian was amused more than anything. He noticed the time and asked what the boy wanted for lunch. Alois said that the triplets would handle the food and then said that they should play a different game.

"I wonder where the stupid whore is." Alois said aloud to himself. Sebastian thought, 'he is standing in front of me wearing a tutu.'

"I believe she was sent to town to fetch ingredients for dinner." Alois pouted and then turned up his nose.

"She probably went to spread her legs for some filthy street rat. And I wanted to practice my target practice. Are you any good at darts Sebastian?" While saying the butler's name, he sidled up to him and was practically rubbing up against him. He mentally sighed and gently pushed the boy away from him.

"Of course for I am one hell of a butler." When he said this the boy giggled and just glomped back onto him. "After lunch you have a lesson in Latin and then you must make sure the accounts are in order." Alois shoved off of Sebastian.

"I refuse to have a lesson!" he screeched out. "Why do I need that? There is no way. I'll just get rid of this tutor like I did the last one." In a snotty way he said, "And the accounts are meant for accountants to look over. I've told Claude this repeatedly. Why do you think we have accountants anyway?" After saying that he flounced off towards the dining room to eat his lunch. Sebastian braced himself for dragging the brat away to go to his lesson.

Right when Alois declared that he was finished eating Sebastian led him upstairs. Alois thought Sebastian was leading him to the bedroom but when he ended up in the rarely used study he thought 'kinky.' Sebastian turned towards the bookshelf while Alois hopped up on the desk and leaned back on his elbows.

"Now then, for your lesson." Sebastian turned and looked at the boy who was lounging on the desk, giving him a come hither look. "It is hard to teach you Latin when you are on the desk and not taking notes." Alois pouted at Sebastian.

"I don't want to learn Latin. Teach me something else. I've always like anatomy. Teach me that and use me as a model." Sebastian just gave him a blank look then walked over to Alois. Alois grinned in triumph but whined when he was manhandled into the seat behind the desk.

"You will take notes and be quizzed after this lesson. If not then I shall find a way to punish you that will not please or benefit you in anyway."

"I refuse."

"But if you're good then you shall be rewarded. Only if you take notes and pass the quiz." Alois' eyes gleamed but then dulled. Obviously the boy didn't know how to feel. It looked as if he came to a decision and nodded happily.

Teaching him Latin is what led to Sebastian wanting to break the boy's neck. Instead of taking notes and listening, the boy was drawing lewd pictures in the notebook. They weren't half bad but he didn't like the ones where Alois drew himself dominating Ciel. He knew he was possessive so feeling like that didn't faze him. Also when Alois asked a question, without warning, and interruped him, it was to ask about Ciel, Ciel's sex life, Sebastian's sex life, or for an opinion on how he could get Ciel. Sebastian ended the lesson and exited the study without Alois.

-Phantomhive Household-

Ciel sat drinking tea in the sunroom with Claude standing behind him. He got through the majority of his work, which made him immensely happy. Since he ate lunch in his study, Claude suggested that he have his tea somewhere else. Usually Ciel would argue that he had to get his work done but he was in a good mood today so accepted. As he was drinking his tea and eating the cake, which wasn't as wonderful as Sebastian's but it wasn't horrible, he kept thinking about the History lesson he was given. The way Claude explained everything actually made the lesson interesting and he found himself asking questions and Claude seemed happy to answer. Even now he wanted to ask questions about it. Claude seemed to understand how Ciel was feeling.

"If you have any questions you may ask them young master." With that, Ciel asked everything that popped into his mind. Claude was only too eager to answer and thought that this type of childish curiosity was adorable as apposed to his master's twisted curiosity. Ciel didn't even notice when the tea went cold and scrunched his face up when he took a sip.

"Shall I fetch you a fresh batch of tea young master?" Ciel looked at the clock and was amazed he had tea for so long. Usually it was for only half an hour to an hour but he stayed in the sunroom for about two hours. Claude noticed the time as well. "I'm sorry young master but time seemed to have slipped away from me." Claude was amazed at himself for not noticing.

"Don't apologize. I'm sure if I had something pressing such as an event or a guest you would have kept better track. As it is, it is late. I should finish up some more paperwork before bed." Ciel stood and headed towards his study. He must be in a great mood to make someone, besides Lizzy and Agni, feel better. But he was only speaking the truth. Claude cleared the table and went to check on the servants. He was wondering if there was a way to switch contracts with people and not have the other person who issued the contract stop him.

-Trancy Household-

Sebastian wanted to leave and return to the Phantomhive household right after the lesson but he had to tough it out until midnight. The actual time he had to stay was until morning when he arrived but he couldn't take the Trancy heir any longer. Also after the lesson he returned to his regular butler attire. As he was undressing the boy for the night, which he didn't want to do but the boy wouldn't shut up about it, Alois kept trying to seduce him in some way. When he didn't react at all, Alois tried taunting him, which irked him but didn't prompt him to do anything. Alois just sat there glowering at Sebastian while Sebastian was staring at him blankly. Alois even tried ordering him.

"I order you to sleep with me!" Sebastian minutely raised an eyebrow.

"I do not follow your orders. You are not my Lord and Master. Everything that I have done today has been to humor you." Alois glared at him, then rolled over on his side and hid under the covers. After a little while he finally fell asleep.

It was a few minutes to midnight now. He was very tempted to leave but he could feel his pride telling him to wait. If Alois were asleep, then the brat wouldn't bother him. So he decided to stay until morning.

-Phantomhive Household-

Ciel was a bit iffy about letting Claude undress him for the night. Claude understood and reassured him.

"I shall assist young master if he wishes but if he feels uncomfortable about anything then I shall stop at once." Ciel nodded at him and held his arms out to the side. Claude stepped forward and meticulously undressed him starting with the shirt jacket. He knelt down to remove Ciel's boots and socks, and then started unbuttoning his shirt. Ciel looked away when his shirt was removed. Claude didn't indicate noticing the brand mark on his side. When Claude started unfastening Ciel's shorts, Ciel stopped him with a slight blush of embarrassment. Claude quickly stood and held up Ciel's sleeping attire. Ciel held his arms out once again and let Claude do up the buttons. Ciel then wiggled out of his shorts and let them fall to the ground. Claude picked up the shorts and neatly folded them and set them to the side to be washed late. Claude turned down the covers and waited as Ciel made himself comfortable. He kept himself from smiling indulgently as Ciel snuggled into the pillow after taking off the eye patch. He picked up the candelabrum on the nightstand.

"Goodnight young master." He murmured before heading to the door to start on Ciel's laundry.

"Goodnight Claude." He let a small smile grace his face when he heard the mumbled reply.

-Morning. Phantomhive Household-

After waking and dressing the annoying brat, Sebastian left as soon as possible, which was an hour before he was supposed too. He arrived at his household and let himself in. After freshening up and seeing that the mansion was still intact, he headed to his master's study. He knew Claude was in the study with his master. For some reason a question Alois asked him suddenly popped into his head. 'Sebastian~ Do you think Claude's done anything to Ciel? I mean Ciel is too cute for his own good that even the asexual Claude would want to do something.' Why it appeared in Alois' annoying voice, he'd rather not think about. But the thought of Claude touching Ciel in ways that he himself hasn't (yet), made him speed up a little bit more. He entered the study and stood by the door. Ciel looked up and raised an eyebrow at Sebastian, then looked at the time.

"You are an hour early Sebastian." Claude stated, displeased as usual to see the other butler there. Sebastian gave that grin that made Claude want to punch him and then walked to stand in front of Ciel's desk.

"You didn't kill him did you Sebastian?" Ciel asked in a bored tone. He wouldn't have minded if Sebastian did. Claude secretly wouldn't have either if not for the fact that he knew his master was still alive and if Sebastian did then he would have lost his meal.

"No young master. I was tempted but I am one hell of a butler, so I refrained." Ciel just hummed in acknowledgement. Ciel then looked at Claude and frowned a little.

"I suppose since Sebastian is back that you should get back to your master before he feels like ringing incessantly." Claude tensed but knew that it was true. He really didn't want to go. Ciel was an angel compared to Alois. Sebastian smirked at Claude knowing what he was thinking.

"You are right young master and I do not want my master to bother you." Claude sighed and prepared to head back to his household.

"Claude." Ciel said his name before he could take a step towards the door. "Thank you for making my lesson more interesting. If I could, I'd want you to tutor me in that area more but then I'd have to put up Alois." Claude smirked mentally when he saw Sebastian's eyes widen slightly. He walked to the other side of Ciel's desk and knelt on one knee next to him looking him straight in the eye.

"Thank you for letting me teach you. You have no idea how wonderful it felt. And perhaps something could be arranged." Claude could feel the rage emitting from Sebastian even though he kept a stoic face. To really get to Sebastian, Claude grabbed Ciel's hand and brought is up to his lips, kissing the back of it. Ciel just raised an eyebrow at this and saw the mischievous gleam in the butler's eyes when his eyes darted over to his butler. He glanced over and could see Sebastian shaking a little and then realized what Claude was doing. He loved getting one up on his own butler and it seemed as if he had an ally now. He kept himself from smirking and looked back at Claude.

"It did feel nice. And we will have to work something out because I'm afraid no one else will do now." Claude still hadn't let go of Ciel's hand and if he didn't see the teasing gleam in Ciel's eye he would've taken it the wrong way. He could tell Sebastian did by how tense he'd gotten. Before he realized it, instinct made him dodge the barrage of cutlery thrown at him. He jumped away, quickly bowed towards Ciel, and jumped out of the open window behind Ciel. Claude sighed and reluctantly went back to his own household.

Before Sebastian could run after Claude and destroy everything that was Claude, Ciel stopped him.

"Sebastian. I'm feeling a little peck-ish. Make me something sweet." Sebastian froze and looked at his haughty little master.

"My lord, did Claude do anything to you while I was away?" Ciel glanced at his butler.

"That is a bizarre question. He did what he was supposed to do. But his sweets aren't as good as yours. So I want some of your sweets now." Sebastian blinked and walked over to his master.

"I shall make you your sweets when you tell me what lesson Claude was talking about." Sebastian was hoping that it wasn't anything to do with anatomy. If anyone was to teach Ciel that, it was going to be him.

"Honestly Sebastian, we were talking about my History lesson. The tutor called out so he taught me. He is quite good at it. I wonder what other lessons he would be good at." Hearing that hurt his pride a little because whenever he tried to teach his master in the past, Ciel never seemed to like it. Ciel's eyes widened when Sebastian was leaning over him with his hands on his chair's armrests. "Sebastian! What are you doing?" Ciel demanded. He didn't like it when people towered over him.

"You don't need Claude, my lord. After all, you have me." Sebastian smiled down at Ciel while Ciel's mouth was in a tight line. It was then he realized that Sebastian was jealous of Claude. Ciel smiled up at Sebastian surprising the butler a little.

"Is someone jealous?" Ciel asked innocently. Sebastian's eyebrow twitched but he didn't move. "I told you to give me something sweet Sebastian." Ciel's innocent act ended and went back to his usual dull tone. A finger under his chin made Ciel look from his desk to the demon. Sebastian was looking at Ciel seriously making Ciel a little nervous.

"Alright young master. I'll give you something of mine that is sweet." Sebastian leaned in and kissed his master on his lips. Ciel's eye widened and he tried to pull away but Sebastian had a hold of his chin. He opened his mouth to protest but Sebastian pushed his tongue into the open mouth. Ciel made a muffled noise of protest but once the tongue touched his and he tasted it, he melted. He didn't know something could taste so delightful, so sweet, and so sinful. Before he knew it he had his arms wrapped around Sebastian's neck and was sucking on the tongue in his mouth. Sebastian shuddered as his master did this. He pulled his tongue away and ended that kiss. Ciel moaned at the loss and looked at him with a dazed eye. He gently untangled himself from Ciel and stood up straight. Ciel snapped out of his daze and glared at his butler while blushing.

"Sebastian! Explain yourself!"

"You wanted something sweet, so I gave you something sweet." Sebastian stated with a happy tone to his voice.

"I said 'make' me something!" Ciel said indignantly. Sebastian brought up his hand and put it to his chin as if he was thinking.

"I could make sweet love to you." Sebastian said. Ciel's jaw dropped and his face exploded with color. He tried to say something but his mouth couldn't make any coherent words. Sebastian just smiled at him and then bowed. "I shall go prepare some cake and tea for you my lord." And with that he exited the study, leaving his master gaping like a fish.
