It was an absolutely beautiful, lazy and hot summer's afternoon. The kind that was hot, but not so hot as to make one uncomfortable as long as they were dressed sparingly. Finnian had spent the day toiling in the garden, and thus was covered with small smudges of dirt and sweat as he made his way into the refreshing cool of the mansion. That air

The house really did seem empty, today. Lots of errands to be done, apparently, and Alois had at first been called along to go with Ciel, but he'd protested the heat and raised a fuss and in the end, he'd stayed after all. He couldn't decide whether it was boring or nice, actually. He'd wandered the house before, but it had admittedly been a while, so-
And there was Finny, midway down the hallway Alois had just turned onto. Also undressing.
Ha."Finnyyy," he said ( ... )

"Ah! Lord Trancy! I was... I was about to take a shower! I'm sorry!"
The apology was, of course, for being in the presence of one of higher rank without being fully clothed. Nevermind that Alois was before him with entirely bare legs; a realization that caused the gardener's face to take on a lovely shade of red. The skin there was so milky white... it looked soft. Just like a lady's. Or so Finny assumed, anyay.

As seen right now, he was definitely one of the most amicable here, too. With one set of fingers splayed over his mouth, he laughed, and came nearer. That's right. Nearer. "Apologizing for having skin, are you?" Stupid stigma, if Alois were to give his honest opinion. Finny's blush didn't do much to keep Alois' giggles down, either. "It's hot, a shirt's not that important, I guess. I don't know how you can even stand trousers right now!"
Since clearly, Alois himself couldn't.

He felt two kinds of uncomfortable around Alois. One was pure fear. The fact that the younger boy could be somewhat unpredictable in his moods, and he was never quite sure if he'd be kind or cruel upon running into him. This fear made Finny want to scamper like a frightened rabbit into the nearest hiding place as soon as possible.
The other uncomfortable, however, was much more difficult for him to understand. The tingly, shivery kind that his entire body was feeling now.
