Hey everybody xD this is my first story. EVER. So please bear with me if i have made any mistakes! I really hope you like it!

A brief rumble of thunder, and a flash of lightning that accompanied it right after, made themselves heard across the sky, had everybody cooped up in their warm homes, most likely asleep. Except for one young man, who indeed, loved storms like these, preferred to stay outside.

Leaning against a ledge on the balcony of an apartment building lazily, two blue, sapphire eyes looked up into the midnight sky while his lips parted in awe.

"Ah..how beautiful this storm turned out to be." he breathed while his hair swayed in the cool breeze that passed by.

He sighed softly and stuffed his hands into his back pockets. 'Why can't nights always be like this during the winter? It seems so much better this way, I swear.'

Seeming slightly disappointed, he sauntered back into his small, too small, apartment, and slid the glass door closed silently. He made his way to his bed and almost immediately fell onto it, while stuffing his face into his pillow. Tomorrow would be a long day for sure, he knew.

Closing his eyes, his worries slipped away as the storm lulled himself to sleep.

It was twelve in the afternoon when the alarm started going off. The young man groaned in his sleep, and lazily reached on the bedside table to turn it off. Mumbling incoherently, twin blue eyes fluttered open trying to blink away the sleep that had come.

"Stupid thing" He glared at the alarm as if he could burn a hole through the damn thing with his glare alone. He ran his slender fingers through his hair and shut his eyes closed again.

Today was going to be his first day as a coffee maker at the coffee shop, Java Jive. It was a popular place to go to when you just wanted to relax and sip a cup of their finest latte's and mocha's. They even had freshly brew tea made everyday, which to Ciel Phantomhive, was his absolute favorite. Sadly for him, he couldn't afford to relax and down some of that precious tea, for he had a job to do in thirty minutes.

He shook his head and stood up from his bed, pushing aside the covers from his body messily. He would tend to that when he got back home from work.

Placing a hand over his mouth, he yawned softly and walked over to his bathroom. He glanced at his reflection from the mirror briefly and pouted. 'I look like shit.' he thought while tugging at his messy, ashen hair.

A sigh passed through his lips as he turned on the sink and started washing his face preparing himself for the day to come. There was nothing more than a cold wash to his face that Ciel liked best. A smile made its way onto his face as he relished in the feeling of the cool water trickling down his face. But it soon came to an end as his eyes darted over to his wrist watch. His eyes widened. It was already twelve twenty five.

Rushing back to his room, Ciel stripped off all of his clothes in a haste, and slipped a plain white v-neck shirt over his head. He knelt down and grabbed a pair of his jeans from the night before and shrugged them on quickly.

"Shit. Shit. Shit." the teen cursed as he hopped up and down frantically to fit into his pants. Finally doing so, he searched around the room for belt to put on seeing as his pants were too loose fitting for him.

He glanced at his watch again- twelve twenty eight.

He sat on his bed and shoved his black converse shoes on giving up on finding that useless belt. Rushing to the kitchen he grabbed a half eaten donut that was already on his table, stuffed his phone in his pocket, grabbed his keys for his car, and made his way out of his small apartment while shrugging on his blue jean jacket, locking the door behind him as he went running down the steps of the apartment building complex.

He needed to make it there, no matter what. He needed this job and he was not going to screw up.

Stuffing the donut into his mouth, he rushed over to his black Nissan. He clicked the button on his keys as his car unlocked itself, and he ushered inside into the drivers' seat.

"Oh man, don't do this to me now, baby. Come on!" Ciel groaned as he fumbled with his keys. This was not the time to be a clutz.

The teen squealed with joy as he successfully got his keys into the ignition, and started the car to life. He blew on his hands for warmth seeing as they were beginning to freeze in the cold weather he loved. His foot stepped on the gas as he reversed out of his parking spot and sped off to the coffee shop.

Thinking back to how he hadn't even met his boss yet, he wouldn't want to make a bad impression of himself. God knows what the man will say about him being late on his first day. Ciel shuddered at the thought briefly when he stopped at a red light while his car was purring lowly adjusting to the cold weather it was rushed into in mid December.

He drummed his fingers on the steering wheel impatiently and chewed on his almost forgotten donut as he stared forward at the road. The light soon turned green and Ciel eased his foot down onto the gas pedal again as he made his way through the light traffic to the coffee shop up ahead.

Ciel swallowed deeply before parking his car into a space, and stepped out of his car, locking it shut. He walked over to the front of the building and looked it over.

The sign on the top of the building read Java Jive, as it was written in bold crooked letters that gave it it's personality straight on. It was refined and could be elegant, but it was also very layed back.

Smiling a little at the thought, Ciel stepped in front of the doors and closed his blue orbs briefly. 'This is it, Phantomhive. Keep your cool, and hopefully this will turn out to be a good day.' He sucked in a deep breath and opened his eyes again, which now held a more confident look in them, and nodded at his own words of encouragement. He straightened out his jacket and smoothed down his shirt brushing away at the wrinkles that had made themselves there. Just to make sure he looked appealing enough, he brushed his fingers through his ashen hair again a couple of times.

Finally pushing open the doors, he stepped inside the store, but froze soon after. There, standing at the entryway, was a tall young man with his arms crossed against his chest, tapping his black leather shoes lightly on the polished floor. He looked pissed.

Seeing that the teen knew who he was right then and there, his lips settled into a small, playful smirk, and his ruby eyes flashed briefly.

"You're late."
