A/N: Thank you so much for clicking! But I have several things to say about this story:

-It is taken place in Modern Times

-Sebastian is human so he will definitely be Ooc, and maybe even Ciel might be as well (accidently)

-Since this is still the first chapter they wouldn't be at the academy… yet

-I am not a good writer, so please, please excuse me for my mistakes!

-Also this is based on a drama called "Mei-chan no Shitsuji" so the plot will be really similar but with different outcomes of course (Also I based this one other crazy Japanese school dramas as well…)

So the first chapter! Please enjoy!

Chapter 1: Ungrateful Meeting

Ciel Durless loved his life which he shared with his parents. Every day he would wake up in the morning to help his parents mend the dough for their bakery. Then he would always go off to school and return later to work behind the counter.

And he loved his parents dearly. His beautiful and kind mother, Rachel loved Ciel with all her heart. She would always sing or read to him at night times and will always embrace him whenever he felt pain. And his charming and gentle father, Vincent taught Ciel of the world. He was always strict when it came to becoming strong but always gave Ciel a pat on his head whenever he was proud of him.

But unfairly, Ciel's peaceful life did not last…

A car crash it was, a crash that took both their lives in a heartbeat.

Ciel was devastated beyond grief but he had so much to do. First was to graduate from high school, he had promised his parents that no matter what happens he must graduate high school. And the second thing was to set up his parents' funeral.

So that was what he had done. Over the past few days he got ready for his parents' funeral and he had used up all of their savings for it. Now he was broke…

It was the right after his parent's funeral. Clearly exhausted, Ciel let his necktie loose and slowly walked into the closed bakery shop. Nightfall has fallen and the store was only lit by the rare appearance of the full moon in the gloomy London sky. With a small sigh, Ciel walked over to the shop counter, sat there and rested his head on his arms and quickly fell into deep sleep.

Then after a few hours, Ciel felt a small nudge on his shoulders which caused him to flutter his eyes open. He rubbed his groggily eyes and looked up to find an insanely handsome man wearing a butler's uniform smile down at him. The man had long ebony colored hair that framed his beautifully structured face. There was a small smile on his lips and Ciel couldn't help but wonder if the man wore colored contacts because his eyes were an unusual shade of red.

"I'm sorry sir but the shop is closed for today" Ciel said with a yawn and a small stretch.

"I have come to pick you up, Bocchan" the man said as he gave Ciel a small bow.

"Bocchan?" Ciel blinked as he stared at the man in confusion.

"I have come to pick you up, Bocchan" the man simply repeated, his smile never faltering.

Ciel frowned and for the first time he noticed the rays of the sun sweeping though the shop curtains. Ciel stood up aburtly and fumbled through his pocket for his cell-phone. He snapped it open and the clock read 7:38.

"Shit!" Ciel cursed as he ran back into his house which was located at the back of the bakery. He quickly trotted up to his room and pulled on a cashmere sweater over his rumpled funeral clothes. Then he rushed into the bathroom and quickly brushed his teeth and tried to straighten his grayish-blue locks without any luck. With a poor attempt on his tie, he grabbed his bag and ran out from his room. But instead he bumped into the man whom he thought he left at the bakery.

"What are you doing here?" Ciel growled. However the man said nothing but instead reached out and tied Ciel's tie professionally. Ciel quickly slapped the man's hands away from him and glared at the man with both his large midnight blue eyes.

"Who are you?" Ciel demanded as he studied the man suspiciously.

"I am sorry for not introducing myself properly, Bocchan" the man said with a gentle smile. "My name is Sebastian Michaelis and I am your butler."

Ciel raised his eyebrows and asked mockingly, "Butler? Do you think I have any money to heir a butler?"

"No…well specifically your grandfather is paying but… that is not to your concern, Bocchan."

"Grandfather? I don't have a grandfather…"

"But you do Bocchan" the man said, his smile widening. "Your grandfather is Nicholas Phantomhive, he is your father's father."

Ciel's eyes widened at first in surprise and shock before he started to laugh. He laughed in a half crazy manner before it quickly rested to a stop. Then he glared at the butler and said seriously, "You are really fun aren't you sir? Please move out of the way." Then he swiftly walked past the butler before he felt someone smooth down his hair.

He turned back abruptly to find the butler smiling at him. "What are you doing?" Ciel hissed as he continued to glare at him.

"Bocchan, your hair was a bit messy so I decided to smooth it down."

"Whatever…" Then Ciel walked down and ran towards his school. He was already late and he couldn't believe that some guy was telling him nonsense to mess up with his head. He ran and ran until he got to school and he felt relieved for some reason… Was it because he got away from that guy?

Nevertheless, he straightened his back and walked into the school.

"Are you alright Ciel?" Ms. Angelina asked with a hint of concern in her voice. "You did not have to return the day after your parents' funeral…"

Ciel sat across from Ms. Angelina who was the headmistress of Ciel's school. Since Ciel's mother and Ms. Angelina were best of friends, Ms. Angelina took care of Ciel at school. Because Ciel had no friends, you could say that Mr. Angelina was the only person Ciel could talk to and the only person whom he trusted other than his parents.

Ms. Angelina's office as usual was filled with the brilliant shade of red which caused Ciel's eyes to blink more frequently from the flamboyancy. Also Ms. Angelina's clothing, hair, lips, and nails were a brilliant shade of red. Well after all, she was rightfully nicknamed "Madame Red" by the students and teachers.

"It's alright Ms. Angelina" Ciel said in a monotone voice, "I had promised my parents that I will graduate from high school and that is what I am simply doing…just keeping my promise."

"But are you sure you don't want to rest a bit more? Since you never rested even a day… I still remember that day when you still came to school with a fever, your parents were furious. Can't you just stay home for a few more days?"

"Ms. Angelina… I can't simply rest because of this. My father told me to be strong and so I shall… So is that all?"

Angelina gave out a large sigh before her red eyes peered into Ciel's very own midnight blues eyes, "Please do not conceal your emotions Ciel. It will simply just break you."

Ciel just gave Angelina a blank look before he whispered, "But what if I broke already? I have been broken for the second time. My parents fixed up my broken parts the first time but they are not here… I am too broken to piece back together again."

Angelina looked at Ciel sadly and answered, "You know… I really wonder what happened to you that day, that day when you were kidnapped."

"That is not your business Ms. Angelina. I shall return to lunch if I may" Ciel said before he stood up and walked towards the door.

"Oh and Ciel, one more thing."

Ciel turned towards her with his usual bored expression and waited for her to continue.

"I didn't announce your parents' deaths to the school like you told me to do."

And for the first time since his parents' deaths, he gave Ms. Angelina a genuine smile before he continued his way out the door. Since Ciel had no money, he had no choice but to skip lunch. So he headed over to the library where he went very often. When he opened the library door, he was met with silence, silence which Ciel welcomed dearly. Picking up some random book from the shelf, he walked over to his favorite spot which was the window seat. With one feet dangling from the edge of the seat he sat rather comfortably, well rather comfortably if Ciel placed his rumbling stomach aside. Then after a few good minutes, Ciel heard a click of heels against the wooden floor which approached him slowly. Ciel chose to ignore it as he continued reading until he felt a presence next to him.

"Bocchan?" he heard a rather familiar voice call out to him, causing Ciel to look up to find that man from this morning, smiling down at him.

"What are you doing here?" Ciel shouted as he stood up, his eyes widening in shock.

"I have lunch ready for you outside Bocchan" the man said as he clearly ignored Ciel's question.

"I said what are you doing here?"

"I have told you many times before that I have come to pick you up Bocchan."

"Will you just stop the act and leave me alone!"

Then the man took out a photo with Ciel's father and an old looking man. They stood side-by-side with a serious expression, both having identical features.

"W-what is t-this?" Ciel muttered as he took the photo from the man. His midnight blue eyes widened more and more as he recognized more similarities between his father and the man. His father definitely looked younger then he remembered him to be but it was still his father. And the old man…he looked so much like Ciel's father in many ways.

"I-is t-this my grand-grandfather?"

"Yes Bocchan. This is indeed you grandfather, Sir Nicholas Phantomhive and your father, Vincent Phantomhive."

Ciel said nothing as he shoved the photo into the man's chest without looking at him. "What's your name again?" Ciel whispered as his midnight blue locks covered his eyes from the man's view.

"My my Bocchan… I have told you my name few hours ago…"

"Just tell me your name" Ciel commanded, still not daring to look at the man.

"My name is Sebastian Michaelis, my lord."

Then Ciel looked up and glared at the man who will soon become his butler.

"Shut up…"

Yes, soon to become butler.

.

.

"Stop bothering me!" Ciel shouted as he paced even faster.

It was right after school and Ciel was on his way home when he found Sebastian waiting for him at the school gates.

"But Bocchan, as the heir of the Phantomhives it is important that you shall be protected at all times" Sebastian answered swiftly as he matched Ciel's pace.

"What are you? A stalker!"

"No Bocchan. As a Phantomhive butler what will I be if I cannot protect Bocchan from any harm?"

"I am not your master! Nor will I ever become the heir of the Phantomhives! And you never told me about such things earlier!" Ciel yelled behind his shoulder but never slowing his pace.

"True, I never talked about you becoming the heir but you shall be. No one else can take you place, Bocchan."

Suddenly Ciel stopped and turned towards Sebastian with a large smile. Sebastian crimson eyes widened slightly in surprise before he too returned the smile. Ciel slowly approached him with the sweet, innocent, angelic smile which would have caused everyone to melt. And Sebastian too couldn't help but find his new master adorable.

"Sebastian…" the boy whispered as his smile widened.

"Yes Bocchan?"

Then Ciel kicked the butler's shin with all his might which caused Sebastian to wince in pain. A chuckle escaped Ciel's innocent lips as he turned and ran in full speed towards his house, never once looking back. Sebastian looked at Ciel's retreating back with an pained expression as he massaged his abused shins.

Ciel truly was a very stubborn Bocchan…

Of course Sebastian knew where Ciel lived so he ran to the bakery shop. But what met his eyes was something Sebastian could have called his worst-case-scenario. Ciel's house was burning…

"Someone!" a woman screamed as firemen sprayed large amounts of water onto the burning house.

"A boy! A boy ran into the house!"

Sebastian felt his breath stop as he ran towards the woman and demanded, "Was he that boy who lives here! Was he!"

"Y-yes… The child of the Durless family! Please someone save him!"

Sebastian turned towards the burning house with a determined expression and rushed into the licking flames.

A/N: I really hope you enjoyed it somewhat… And I actually started writing various scenes between SebCiel and I have to say that I am really excited to post the part when they go to the academy!

Also this is actually not my first account. I have another one which I am actually still using and of course I will update the stories on that account as well. But I simply wanted a fresh start somewhat.

If you have anything to say, please review! I will really appreciate them!
