       Heading toward the main bathhouse, clothes off, towel on, you were prepared for heat and serenity to take you in whole! Sadly, it was soon to be revealed that you weren't the only person with this idea. 

  "Ciel! What're you doing here?" You asked. 

    "Taking a bath, obviously. I assume you are here to do the same?" He asked, you nodded. Unlike you, Ciel was still dressed, his towel draped across his left arm. 

     You sighed, "I am, and I really need to take a bath, Ciel. I'm not backing down." 

        There had been a disturbance in a nearby town of which had been concerning the queen. The area seemed like a ghost town and was barely even able to be called a 'town' in your opinion, but the disturbance had been a reoccurring and unresolved one. With the 'people' in the area complaining, the queen decided to act and sent over her favorite pet. 

    You joined Ciel in the hopes of visiting a new town and possibly having some fun roaming the area, but you soon realized your error. 

     To make matters even worse, this town had a water conservation policy of which you were not happy about. From what you could remember of the bathing rules, each household is allowed to take a maximum of one bath per 3 weeks. 

    The size of the household nor the amount of people in one household, matters. If one were to take multiple baths within that secluded time frame, the house's entire water supply was to be shut off for about a week. Sinks, baths, toilets; All. Off. 

    The building you were staying at was no exception to this policy, even despite it being a hotel. The hotel was nothing fancy; it looked old and not very well kept, but you heard that it did have a wonderful bathhouse. Luckily, the hotel wasn't even occupied by anyone else; such a shame none of the other 7 people who lived in this town wanted to stay for a night or two. 

       "Hmm, that's too bad." He said. 

    "Yes, for you. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to take a bath." 

     "I won't, I'm taking the bath. I need to bathe." 

     "Oh, come on! Ciel, are you seriously going to get the water cut off completely for this?" Well, you'd do it in a heartbeat, but that wasn't the question; this was his reputation, not yours. If the water got shut off and the hotel owner had a complaint, Ciel would be hearing it... 

      Ciel began to stare you down with a glare. It's not like you didn't anticipate this, Ciel disliked being limited and if he wanted a bath and was only able to take one every 3 weeks or for the length of this trip, he was going to want that bath. 

    "Ciel... I'm sorry..." You mumbled from underneath his stare. He seemed suspicious at first, but he was soon to understand what you meant. Once you threw open the door and darted inside, it was very obvious.

"(Y\N)!" He yelled, running after you. 

  You had a hypothesis when you ran inside: If Ciel was expecting to take a bath, then he must have asked Sebastian to prepare it around 10 minutes before he actually expected to get in. It was a good thing you were correct. 

    Getting into the water, the heat soon began to soothe your body. You firmly held your towel to you body during this, you were planning on waiting until Ciel left before you took it off. Smirking, you noticed anger gleam in Ciel's eyes. 

    Something unexpected happened next. You had thought Ciel would've known when he was beat, but he was proving you otherwise. 

      Turning around, he began to undress himself, causing your face to tint red. "Ci-ciel...what-what are you doing...?" 

    "Taking...a...bath." He grumbled. 

      Just before Ciel showed too much skin, he replaced his clothes with his towel. This was quite indecent and out of character for him to do. 

     Of course, it's not like this was against the policy. It was one bath per 3 weeks for all households, there were no rules as to how many people can be in that bath. 

   Entering the bath as well, he avoided looking at you, a visible blush adorning his cheeks. 

      There was a lot of tension in the air, making you uncomfortable. You noticed his towel try to float to the top of the water multiple times, causing him to push it back down. You decided to end the awkward silence by talking, acting as if you both weren't basically naked. 

      Your decision made things a little less awkward, but only a little. To lighten things up a bit more, you splashed him; you had fun.
