History HoYay / BlackButler

''Manga/BlackButler'', as evidenced below, has [[CatchPhrase one hell of a]] lot of HoYay.

* Sebastian grabbing Ryan from behind in chapter 54 and holding his arms behind his back when interrogating him.
* The New Year's VA event features Joker showing up at the onsen in full swim gear and Sebastian responds by trying to rip Joker's clothes off ''himself'' in order to follow the rules. This leads to Grey calling Sebastian a pervert and electrocuting him.

** The triplets comment that they find Alois's [[CryCute crying to be cute]] in Spider's Intentions.

* Ciel's twin brother, the real Ciel is a yandere at almost incestuous levels. Even as a child, "Ciel" hated being separated from his brother; he actually cried when Ciel said he wanted to move to London to work at a toy shop. When Undertaker resurrects him as a Bizarre Doll, "Ciel" declares that he will never leave Ciel's side ever again.

* Episode 20: When Sebastian is getting FoeYay directed towards him by Angela who's decked out in dominatrix gear he refuses her advances and states "My young master is the only one I want. I desire nothing else."

** Maurice gets some of this in the form of FoeYay with Ciel when he grabs Ciel's tie and gets close to his face. He's pissed and states that the seniors "kind of fancy" Ciel.

* There is some rather blatant FoeYay between Sebastian and Ronald, like in chapter 64 where Sebastian gets ''really'' close to Ronald's face and Ronald gets a heart in his speech bubble when saying he'll finish off Sebastian or chapter 54 when, after fighting Sebastian, Ronald says that Sebastian is as good as the rumors say he is. He also winks at Sebastian and calls him "Sebas-chan" playfully much like Grell does (Grell has a crush on Sebastian)

* Azzurro grabbing Ciel's face in episode 2, saying they're NotSoDifferent and telling him "Let's get along."

* Episode 7, the butlers are dueling and Ciel invites Alois inside the house, planning a proper duel between them two. Alois agrees, unaware of these intentions, saying he needs to go to the bathroom anyway. They get inside and Ciel challenges him to the duel. Alois just replies: "So you didn't just come here to piss with me?" Golden line- no pun intended.

* If Grell falls in love with Madam Red before she eventually [[spoiler:killed her]] and is portrayed dancing with her on chapter 100's cover and once commented that she thought Hannah (in the second season of the anime) had a cute/pretty face.

* Ciel gets some with Grell when Grell gets close to him physically as the Chesire cat.

** When Grell says she/he would much prefer to be around a more handsome guy Ronald immediately thinks of Sebastian.

* There is debate over Grell being male or female but he/she was assigned male at birth, and other characters use "he". If male: there's the huge crush on Sebastian and William to consider. Also, when he got a look at Undertakers face he hugged him, with heart marks and sparkles in the background and told him "make love to me" with Undertaker smiling at this in the anime. In the manga, he also said he thought he was pretty hot. He also gets excited over seeing Pluto in his male form, calls him handsome, and chases after him while releasing heart marks as well as getting physically close to Alois in a carriage.
** Grell fluttering his eyelashes and blushing while giving Undertaker a drink.
** Or him and Ronald reenacting Rose and Jack's scene on the bow of the ship like they did in the Titanic movie.
** Grell saving Ryan from falling and calling him "handsome".
** Grell putting his foot on Sebastian's leg while standing quite close to him with Ronald putting his foot on Sebastian's.
** Grell states that with all the handsome men around him (Undertaker and Sebastian) he's not going to leave like Cinderella in chapter 64.
** In the Hamlet OVA Grell falls for Agni upon seeing him. And in Ciel in Wonderland he rubs up against Agni's leg when dressed as Chesire Cat.
** In the musical Grell finds Kirito to be attractive too and hits on him.
** In the Ciel in Wonderland OVA Grell is shown resting in Soma's lap like a cat.
*** If Grell is actually a she then there is the case of her initially falling in love with Madame Red before she [[spoiler: killed her]] and dancing with her on chapter 100's cover and once commented that she thought Hannah (in the second season of the anime) had a cute/pretty face.

*** Which was to enable Ciel to crossdress as a girl (wearing a frilly dress and sporting longer hair) so he could attend Aleister's party where he shared a dance with Sebastian who was wearing gentlemen's evening wear... Later on, Sebastian saves Ciel from being auctioned off by Aleister, [[http://mangahere.com/manga/kuroshitsuji/v02/c008/7.html even carrying him bridal style while he's wearing that frilly dress]].

** And then there's [[http://mangahere.com/manga/kuroshitsuji/v06/c027/37.html this]], even though it seemed like there were other things to hide ''behind'' in that room... or they could have just ran out of the room, even.

** Don't forget [[http://mangahere.com/manga/kuroshitsuji/v07/c034/17.html these]] [[http://mangahere.com/manga/kuroshitsuji/v07/c034/18.html pages]] from Chapter 34 of the manga (it's vomit).
*** In the anime adaption, the face that Sebastian makes while looking down at Ciel...'''Dear Lord!'''

** The [[http://mangahere.com/manga/kuroshitsuji/v08/c041/33.html scene]] in Chapter 41 where Ciel [[spoiler: straddles Sebastian's supposedly dead body, buries his face in Sebastian's throat and insists his butler was never to leave his side]], as well as putting his hand on Sebastian's face.
** If anything, the entire purpose of Nina Hopkin's appearance in chapter 37 was to provide us with some comic relief, fanservice, shotacon, lolicon (meaning some LesYay between her and Mey-Rin which includes kissing her and openly groping her breasts and thighs with some heavy breathing sound effects and hearts), and even more HoYay between Sebastian and Ciel (e.g. [[http://mangahere.com/manga/kuroshitsuji/v07/c037/25.html here]], even though he could have just done [[http://mangahere.com/manga/kuroshitsuji/v07/c037/28.html this]] from the beginning...).
*** The end of chapter 53 has [[http://www.mangareader.net/kuroshitsuji/53/33 this picture]].

** The LoveBubbles (seen [[http://mangahere.com/manga/kuroshitsuji/v09/c050/24.html here]] ) and later Snake's [[http://mangahere.com/manga/kuroshitsuji/v09/c052/11.html blush]]. Though that [[LuminescentBlush blush]] could've been caused by Ciel or Sebastian.

* This troper might be wrong, but wasn't there a promotional picture that had Ciel and Sebastian in bed together while everyone else (including Lizzie!) were in the room as chibis watching over them, smiling and wearing sheep's clothes?
** [[https://picclick.com/RARE-Kuroshitsuji-Black-Butler-Promo-big-POSTER-Sebastian-202473727341.html#&gid=1&pid=1 Yes there was]]

** Also of note is [[spoilers: Soma dropping his hope and kindness almost completely now that Agni is gone and descending into despair]]

* One of the promotional images for Kuroshitsuji II is pretty much Sebastian and Ciel flat out kissing... or at least the placement of their heads gives off that illusion.

* Another example not in the series proper. One of the Ciel figurines includes a side story that contains Sebastian (and the others) gushing over said figurine, and Sebastian reminds the owner to gently brush Ciel's "delicate parts" (bonus both for being said in a seductive manner and while there's a fantasy shot of Ciel lying down seductively above Sebastian).

** Alois teases Ciel during their duel and says that they should have fun dancing.

* As seen in the above picture, there's plenty of HoYay regarding these two in official art and of course fanart.
* Alois's final wish results in [[spoiler: Ciel's immortality.]] He also apologizes for how badly he treated Ciel.

* In episode 11 of season 2, Alois screams at Claude "Embrace me, until the end of the world!" and Claude is able to pass through the trials in the maze because he knows so much about Alois which pleases Alois. Alois states "Claude knows everything about me. Everything...even to the deepest, innermost, soft part of me!" He even seems to get jealous of Claude's interest in Ciel over him. He thinks Claude loves him a lot and this makes him happy.

* Soma is visibly shaken and distraught over [[spoiler: Agni’s death]]

** Sometimes, Sebastian's behavior could almost resemble that of a {{Yandere}}. Take note of how he brutally stomps on the face of Baron Kelvin's corpse in the anime in disgust and possibly jealousy for his [[StalkerWithACrush actions towards Ciel]] and then sets the manor he is in on fire at Ciel's orders. He also acts downright murderous and moody when it comes to Claude's, Aleister's, and the Undertaker's blatant interest in Ciel.

* Chapter 123: Sebastian seems upset/surprised to see Ciel vent out his frustrations by smashing a vase. He says its not like him to act that way. He later follows Ciel's plan to stop murderers in their tracks and alert the world to their wrongdoings by putting them in the paper. He says Ciels plan was masterful and praises him saying "As expected of Bocchan!" The cover also shows the two intimately clinging to each other while underwater.

* Chapter 73 where Sebastian places his hand over Ciel's mouth and pushes him against a bookshelf. There's also how he hides Ciel under his cloak and holding him close to his body.

* Chapter 105 has Ciel giving a suspiciously jealous look at Sebastian carrying Sullivan. There's also another bath scene.

** Alois declares that Ciel should just give up during their sword fight and become his. When Ciel stabs Alois he clings to Ciel and begs Ciel to spare him and the view from behind makes his face appear level to Ciel's crotch making it look like he's giving Ciel a blowjob.

* In episode 11 of season 2, Alois screams at Claude "Embrace me, until the end of the world!" and Claude is able to past through the trials in the maze because he knows so much about Alois which pleases Alois. Alois states "Claude knows everything about me. Everything...even to the deepest, innermost, soft part of me!" He even seems to get jealous of Claude's interest in Ciel over him. He thinks Claude loves him a lot and this makes him happy.

** Druitt also takes a moment to appreciate [[http://www.mangareader.net/kuroshitsuji/76/35 Joanne Harcourt's looks]] [[http://www.mangareader.net/kuroshitsuji/76/34 as he]] [[SomethingElseAlsoRises is doubled over]] and [[LuminescentBlush blushing]]... [[MoodWhiplash from the]] [[FanDisservice unbearable pain]] of [[BringMyBrownPants a large dose of laxitives]]. [[CrowningMomentOfFunny Which just makes it better]].

* Joker in chapter 24 and 25 to Sebastian. He calls Sebastian a "really distinguished gentleman", insists he get
checked out by a doctor when he gets bit by a tiger, and says he's surprised when Sebastian says he's a butler because "with yer nice appearance I thought you were a gentleman." He also says that he wants to scout Sebastian, touches Sebastian's shoulders when he makes him laugh and says he likes him.
