Loooonnnggg chapter! I'm a happy turtle!
Ding!
Hey! How was your test?
Ding!
Sebastian! I just finished it! I can't text right now I have another class!
Ding!
What are you? A parent? You can text in class if you don't get caught.
Ding!
Sebastian if I get in trouble I'm going to murder you.
Ding!
Hey now! Let's calm down on the violence! Besides, if I were killed you'd be really bored!
Ding!
I already am really bored. This class is terrible and it just drags on and on.
Ding!
I could change that? ;)
Ding!
…What exactly are you planning to do..?
Ding!
I was just gonna play a game with you! What did you THINK I was going to do?
Ding!
Nothing! A game? How can we play a game through text message?
Ding!
20 questions!
Ding!
Ughh, no.
Ding!

Ding!
Hey! I don't want to play!
Ding!

Ding!
I'm not playing! And you can't ask questions like that, only Yes or No!
Ding!

Ding!
Shut up!
Ding!

Ding!
Ah ha! I was correct! It was me (:
Ding!

Ding!
Now it's my turn. Ask away!
Ding!
Ugh fine. Is it Alive?
Ding!
No!
Ding!
Is it edible?
Ding!
It sure is!
Ding!
Is it chocolate cake?
Ding!
…How'd you do that?
Ding!
I love chocolate cake.
Ding!
That doesn't answer my question.
Ding!
I already told you I won't answer something if I don't want to.
Ding!
Yeah but it was a simple question!
"Ciel Phantomhive!" A voice bellowed throughout the room. Ciel's body went rigid, and he looked up with a shocked look on his face. He felt his heart nearly drop out of his body when he saw the teacher close to his desk glaring at him.
"I suggest you put that away before I ask you to leave this class permanently!" The teacher screeched.
"Yes sir! Sorry Sir!" Ciel's heart was racing. He had absolutely no idea why he did it, but as the teacher turned around to walk back to the front of the room Ciel typed one last message before turning his phone off:
You. Are. Dead.
Sebastian looked at his phone and felt a bit guilty. Ciel had obviously gotten in trouble, now he's going to get an ear full. Oh well, it was worth it. It showed his friends Andrew, Logan, and Kendal, who were sitting around him laughing, that he was making some progress with the kid. He felt happy he had made a connection with Ciel so quickly. Well, sort of. According to Andrew, Ciel seemed to keep to himself, no one ever really talked to him. How did Sebastian do it so easily?
When Ciel's final class got out he headed out the front doors and began walking home. He was still fuming about being caught texting in class. Ciel was a good student. He was very smart and he had never gotten scolded before.
"Hmm some friend." He headed home to make some food and relax, that test and getting yelled at had stressed him out; he was very tired. However he was also very angry at Sebastian. The man was going to get what he deserves next time he sees him. When will that be exactly?
Wait! Ciel didn't care! He didn't need the man in his life he had lived a perfectly sane life until he met Sebastian.
Still…the man deserves it. Perhaps it wouldn't be so bad to contact him?
Ciel turned onto the street where Sebastian lived. He stopped down the road from the house. There was no way in hell he was going to the door and asking for Sebastian.
Ciel reached in his bag and pulled out his phone; he sent a text to the man.
Come outside now.
Ding!
Why don't you come inside?
Ding!
SEBASTIAN! GET OUT HERE!
Ding!
Okay Okay!
Sebastian appeared at the door a few seconds later. He noticed Ciel standing down the street a bit glaring at him and tapping his foot. Sebastian smirked and walked up to the fuming boy.
"you JERK!" Ciel whacked him hard in the chest as soon as he was in arms reach.
"What kind of friend are you? You let me get in trouble! You know I've NEVER gotten in trouble before! I swear if I fail that class I will kill you!" Ciel continued whacking Sebastian in his chest and arms. This didn't hurt Sebastian; in fact he found it rather cute that the boy was trying to be aggressive.
On a particular hit Sebastian grabbed Ciel's wrists and held them down so he couldn't hit him again.
"Ciel, please calm down." He said slowly
"I won't!" Ciel wiggled
"Ciel I'm sorry! Please, calm down!" Sebastian pleaded
"No! You are terrible!" Ciel was angry
Sebastian didn't know what to do; he honestly never dealt with problems such as this.
Ciel was rambling and Sebastian just wanted him to shut up! Without thinking Sebastian pulled Ciel into a hug and waited for Ciel to react. Surprisingly Ciel quieted down a bit and his charade had stopped. After a few seconds Ciel began wiggling again.
"Sebastian, let me go." Ciel's voice was muffled by Sebastian's shirt in his face.
"Are you calm?" Sebastian said quietly
"I am calm. Please let me go." Ciel said in a quieter voice
"Do you forgive me?"
"Sebastian!" Ciel yelled
"I thought you said you were calm." Sebastian smirked
Ciel sighed. Honestly! Unless he does everything Sebastian says he will never get what he wants!
He gave in completly and let Sebastian hold him, as much as he didn't like it.
"I'm calm! I forgive you! You're forgiven, please let me go!" Ciel said through gritted teeth.
Sebastian finally let him go and took a step back to look over Ciel. The boy was flushed from yelling as well as being so close to the taller man.
Ciel's gaze was anywhere but at Sebastian; he didn't really know what to do now.
"Is that all you called me out here for? To yell at me? Well if that is all you requested I guess I will take my leave." Sebastian said those words but didn't exactly move.
"Well I….I uh" Ciel stuttered and continued to look away from Sebastian.
"Yes?" Sebastian stated
"I was just gonna…I'm done with classes and.." Ciel didn't really know how to do this. He didn't often ask people to hang out and he wasn't doing so well with this situation.
Sebastian could tell from the way Ciel shifted his weight and gazed elsewhere. He knew what the male was trying to do and smirked.
"Ciel." Sebastian started "I am terribly sorry for getting you in trouble in class I refuse to let such a thing happen again and to make up for it I would like to take you out for some chocolate cake."
The mention of chocolate cake caught Ciel's attention. He didn't say anything at first then decided that it wasn't so bad and he did deserve it. Right? Right…
"Ok." Ciel mumbled and scratched his arm awkwardly
Sebastian took Ciel to a local restaurant and sat down. A waitress wandered over and asked for their order, but was completely turned towards Sebastian. He smiled and she began flirting hardcore with the man. She twirled her short red hair and popped a piece of gum in her mouth; leaning against the table a bit closer than a waitress should be.
Sebastian ignored her and ordered a slice of chocolate cake. The waitress's bubbly personality shortened when she turned to finally notice the boy across from Sebastian. Ciel sat quietly in his seat and looked anywhere but at Sebastian; the waitress huffed and left.
"Ciel?" Sebastian asked
Said boy looked up directly at Sebastian, sadness was present in his blue eyes.
"What's wrong?" Sebastian asked worriedly. His hand reached across the table and touched Ciel's own hand slightly. Ciel jumped and Sebastian retreated quickly.
"People are staring at us." The boy mumbled
Sebastian looked around and noticed a few people were indeed giving them odd looks. He noticed three girls in particular who at one point in life were sitting here with Sebastian. The only difference between them and Ciel was their gender, and the fact that Sebastian didn't care about them as much as he did Ciel. Woah…back up. Just one difference. Their gender..that's all!
Sebastian's face was matching his thoughts, and Ciel noticed him thinking. Sebastian turned to Ciel and shook his head.
"Pay no mind to them Ciel. They all mean nothing." Sebastian shot a glare at the girls who were whispering to each other and giving Ciel harsh looks.
Ciel shook his head. "I don't like them. They are giving me rude looks like I didn't something wrong." Ciel hid his face behind his hair.
"You did absolutely nothing wrong Ciel! Their just jealous." Sebastian said feeling a bit guilty. After all he knew what they were all whispering about and he also knew Ciel didn't actually do anything wrong.
"Jealous?" Ciel looked up at Sebastian with a questioning glance. "Why would they be jealous?"
Ciel noticed more people staring and the restaurant seemed a tad bit quieter than it had been. He also saw some skanky looking brunette girl who walk by and stare him down. He blushed slightly and looked away.
"Uh because you're…" Sebastian trailed off. He realized that saying Because you're with me! Sounded very bad on many levels. He quickly made up another excuse when he noticed the waitress carrying Ciel's cake.
"Because you have delicious chocolate cake and they don't." Sebastian smiled.
The waitress slammed the plate on the table, scoffed at Ciel, then walked away. Ciel stared at the cake in shock. He couldn't believe what was happening and this wasn't something he was used to dealing with.
"I think I should leave." Ciel stated. He stood up and headed for the door.
"Ciel, wait! Please." Sebastian dropped a few bills on the table and followed Ciel through the doors and away from the caddy whispering people.
He ran up behind the boy and gently grasped his arm. "Ciel"
"It's OBVIOUS isn't it?" Ciel shrugged Sebastian off and turned around, his face blank.
"What their talking about. What they think." Ciel backed away from Sebastian
"Look." The boy started "I'm not gay. I'm not here to date you. I don't have a crush on you. If that's all you're after you better just stop talking to me right now. You're making other sluts jealous and the last thing I want is to be gossiped about when I did absolutely nothing."
"Ciel I don't understand where you get these assumptions from! I never once stated that I had special feelings for you! I simply want to be you're friend. The last thing I ever wanted was for you to get hurt like this! It's my fault, Ciel. Because of those women you assume the worst of me. Ciel you need to stop assuming! You must believe in what YOU believe! Not everyone around you!
Sebastian hadn't realized what he just said, or where it came from. How did he make all that stuff up so quickly?
Ciel was breathing heavily, he took in everything Sebastian was saying. He put his head in his hands.
"I'm sorry." He mumbled
Sebastian smiled again and wrapped his arms around the shorter boy who hid his face.
"Don't worry about it kid." Sebastian pulled away and patted his head.
Ciel sniffed and looked up at Sebastian. "Don't call me kid." He smiled weakly, his eyes showed no emotion, just a blank page, as he turned to walk home.
Sebastian saw the loneliness in his crisp blue eyes as he gave that sad smile. He saw the shy boy turn and walk away from him. Back to his apartment, to be alone. To eat alone. To sleep alone. Sebastian thought of this and for some strange reason, it was the last thing he ever wanted to see happen to the boy.
Sebastian ran after Ciel and touched his shoulder.
"What are you doing tomorrow?" Sebastian asked
Ciel shook his head "Sebastian I don't think we shou-"
"Not what I asked Ciel."
Ciel sighed "Tomorrow is Thursday. I have one class at noon. It's an hour and a half long."
"Noon huh?" Sebastian smiled and continued walking with Ciel.
"Yes…what about it?" Ciel looked suspiciously at Sebastian
As they walked Ciel noticed Sebastian's house home into view. He turned to tell the man goodbye but Sebastian just continued walking.
"Sebastian? You just walked by your house." Ciel was confused
"I want to walk you home." He said simply
"I'm not your girlfriend!" Ciel shouted
"Ciel, I want to. Anything to stay away from that house. People are normally doing naughty things in the rooms next to mine."
Ciel smirked "You're room never partakes in 'naughty' things?"
"Well…I don't think that is appropriate to talk about." Sebastian mumbled and turned away
"No, come on Sebastian. There is no need to try to deny that anything happened." Ciel teased.
They arrived at his apartment building, Ciel stopped and turned to Sebastian to bid him goodbye.
"Seba-"
"Ciel can I come in for a bit?" Sebastian interrupted
Ciel gave him a weird look "Sure. I suppose."
Ciel led Sebastian up to his apartment. On the outside he acted as normal as ever. However, on the inside he was jumping up and down with gratitude because honestly, he didn't want to spend the rest of his night alone.
I'm so lame.
