Funtom was a profitable organization that started out small, family owned, but had grown exponentially over the last fifteen years. It had prestige and power, highly charitable to boot, and hundreds of applications are filtered through each year. Only a handful were accepted into the coveted intern spots, the ones that would shoot them up to the higher level positions. Others were accepted into lower level positions, factory positions and the like.
The company was run by Vincent Phantomhive, a man who was intelligent and well liked by all employees. He tried to treat everyone fairly and when he had to step away from the building for meetings or a family emergency, he was confident in leaving the company to his second-in-command, Sebastian Michaelis.
It was Sebastian that Ciel was on his way to see, as he marched through the halls with his head high and giving friendly greetings when he made eye contact with an employee. He was well-liked by the workers, stopping by often to see his father, yet in all this time, he’s never met Sebastian. He’s only heard about him, all good things, and he was looking forward to working with him over the course of the next few months.
He had to ask his father’s secretary where the man was, and he stepped into the open doorway to the man’s office, knocking quietly on the door. He had arrived on time, so surely he would have been informed of his arrival, and he took a moment to get a good look at who he’d be working with.
His breath caught in his throat and he had to take a moment to get his thoughts away from where they were straying.
‘Hello handsome... This is going to be harder than I thought..’ Sebastian had to be the most gorgeous man he’s ever had the pleasure to lay eyes on, and all thoughts he had about an easy semester went out the window. All he would be able to do was make sure he didn’t do something embarrassing.
Ciel waited until Sebastian was looking at him before he stepped further into the room, lifting a hand for a handshake. “Sebastian Michaelis? I’m Ciel Phantomhive. It’ll be a pleasure to work under you.” He mentally slapped himself, hoping that hadn’t come off as flirty, even that was all he wanted to do at the moment. He probably wasn’t even interested in men, so he needed to not make this awkward until he knew further information.
