Work Promotion 4

Ciel's eyes fluttered open, and he sat up. As he stretched, his leg brushed something smooth and warm. He looked over, glaring at the blonde in the bed besides him. Not wanting to wake him—for he would be in a terrible mood for the entire day—Ciel got up and went into the bathroom, and started stripping down. He turned on the water, and stepped into the shower. The icy cold drops pelted his neck and his back, giving him a burst of energy and finally waking him up. 

He stepped out of the shower, wrapping the towel around his waist and head out into his room again. Alois was sitting up, playing with Ciel's iPad. Ciel cleared his throat, and Alois gleamed up at him with a joyful grin. 

"Why are you in my bed and playing my iPad? I changed the lock. Again." 

Alois pursed his lips. "Well a good morning to you too, Ciel. And the passcode is so easy. I never thought you would choose it to be Sebastian." 

Ciel's face blushed bright pink, and he grabbed his iPad. He smacked the back of the blonde's head and forced him up. "Why are you in my bed?!" 

"I had a nightmare." 

"Aren't you a little too old to be crawling into my bed if you have nightmares?" 

"Aren't you a little too old to be putting your crush's name as a passcode?" 

"Touché..."

Alois and Ciel arrived at Starbucks and ordered two ice teas. Alois was sorting through some paperwork and Ciel was reading a document Sebastian had sent him about some fashion show in Milan. Alois had glanced up, and smiled, poking Ciel's shoulder.

"Ciel. That guy over there is looking at you! And he is H. O. T. Hot!"

"No one is-" Ciel started and looked up, and there was someone staring at him! As soon as they made eye contact, the man winked and smiled. Ciel smiled back a little, holding back a blush. He was pretty darn cute. 
 
The man had golden hair that was slicked back lazily. Ciel could see his gray eyes staring at him intently. The man was a decent size, and had a muscled figure, but he wasn't totally ripped. That's how Ciel liked it. As he looked closer, he couldn't help but have his smile grow wider. The man was wearing his company's jeans and the shirt Ciel had personally designed. 

"I have to use the men's room." Alois announced loudly, and got up, quickly walking over to the bathroom hall. The man followed Alois with his eyes and waited until he was completely gone, and then he strode over to Ciel, with a bright smile on his face. 

"Hello." the man said, with a suave voice. "I'm Luke."

"Ciel." Ciel said, nodding in acknowledgement. He was begging his blush wasn't too bad. 

"May I sit here?" Luke asked, and Ciel gave a mere nod for a response. The man sat down and smiled over at the gray-haired boy, whose blush darkened. "I see you here often with that other guy. Is he your boyfriend or something?" 

"N-No! He's a co-worker and an old friend." Ciel said, and glanced over at Alois who was peeking around the corner, watching. Great... he thought. 

"Even better." Luke smiled, and winked at Ciel. "So what are you into?" 

The conversation seemed to go on for minutes, though they spent an hour talking about TV shows, books and what Ciel loved about him most of all: Shakespeare. He was handsome, funny... And intelligent! He never thought this day would come, but it did. 
 
Around ten Luke glimpsed at his watch and frowned. "Aw crap, I'll be late for work..." he sighed and looked at Ciel. "You doing anything Friday at eight?" 

"Nope." Ciel smiled, but remembered the 'mandatory FW talk' that Sebastian had him set up at his mansion. He and Sebastian would be the only ones there, and... Ciel shuddered at the thought. He could call in sick. 

"Great!" Luke smiled, and took a napkin and scribbled down the time, date and address. He winked at Ciel and added his cellphone. "In case something comes up or you just wanna hang out sooner."

Ciel nodded and tried not to blush. This was probably the best day EVER. Luke smiled at him and the blush finally revealed itself. Luke let out a huge laugh. "You are so effin' adorable!" 

"Thanks..." Ciel's cheeks were beet red by the time they said their goodbyes and Luke had left. Ciel busied himself, transferring the cell number to his phone and Alois ran over and hugged Ciel, squeezing the air out of him. 

"OMIGODOMIGODOMIGOOOOOD!!!!" Alois squealed, and Ciel was turning even more red from lack of oxygen. "HE WAS SO CUTE AND YOU LOOK SO CUTE WITH HIM YOU GUYS LOOK PERFECT TOGETHER OMIGOD!!!! O. M. G!!" 

"Alois! Stop! People are staring!" 

Alois eventually stopped fangirling ten minutes later, when Ciel had insisted they should go or they would be late for work. Even as Ciel drove, Alois was bombarding him with questions, and answering them himself. 

"Ciel WHAT are you going to wear? You have to wear something really sexy and revealing! Like lingerie! No wait, that's for women. What about man-thongs? No... Are you having sex on the first date? Of course you are look at him!! We need to get you those boxer prototypes from floor 2!  You okay with that? Sure you are!"

"Alois, I highly doubt he would want to do that on the first date." Ciel sighed, and turned right. 

"Sure he would! Look at you! I mean, yeah, your dick is kinda small but hey! You're really cute!" 

Ciel sighed and parked in the lot, and cringed when a familiar sleek black Ferrari pulled up next to them. Alois was rambling on about the date, and Ciel begged him with his eyes to stop. Alois saw and immediately shut up, and they both watched as Sebastian got out of the car. "My dear Mr.Trancy, did I hear you say 'date?'" 

"Yes, you did! I have one tonight!" he said, and smiled nervously. When it came to love, he was a suckish liar. 

"Ah, but I heard it was for Mr. Phantomhive." Sebastian stated, and lowered his sunglasses, peering at Ciel. Ciel flinched. Work was going to be hell today.

Ciel sighed and stood up straight, and smirked, staring straight into his boss' crimson eyes. "Yes, that's right. I have a date friday, so I am afraid I must cancel." 

A flash of anger ripped through Sebastian's eyes. "You can't do that." he simmered. "That meeting is mandatory and my wife is out that night." 

"Mr. Michaelis..." Alois chimed in. "Why does it matter if your wife is home or not?"

Sebastian was instantly silenced after that, and he glowered at Ciel, a merciless smirk forming from his lips. "Fine. You may go on that date. You'll have to work overtime though."

Ciel's heart sank to his stomach. He would actually have to go through with his perverted boss' wish. "It is a simple meeting, sir. I shouldn't have to work overtime..." 

Sebastian smirked. "Yes you do. And you better be in your office at lunch. I need to talk to you privately." 

Ciel looked down and suppressed a groan. "Yes sir..."
