Hi guys, I hope you're all excited as I am!

Warnings for this chapter: nothing

Thank you all so much for the reviews and favorites/follows!

"Here you go, sir." a smiling woman working liquor store counter number three said. "Thank you and have a good day!"

Claude Faustus grabbed his bag of highly intoxicating wine and leaned forward as his informer, a man he met with earlier on the street, told him to do so. "What a strange receipt." he said. These were the code words for the pickup.

The smiling woman's eyes took on a mysterious quality and she squinted slightly. "Yes it is sir, let me get you another." she said familiarly, as if she said this often. As she printed up another receipt, Claude pulled out more money and slid it across the counter, his hand pulling back with a small vile of brown liquid.

"Come again!" she called as he left the store, secret substance in hand.

Sebastian coughed and waved the puff of dust from his face. 'Why didn't I decide to clean out the attic sooner?'

A medium sized maroon colored photo album of sorts caught his eye. He picked it up, dusted it off, and found that it was the one from his school days.

"Sebastian? Are you up there?" called Ciel from down below.

"Yes but I'm coming down now. I have something to show you." he called back.

After he climbed down the folding ladder, Sebastian motioned Ciel over to the couch and set the book down on the coffee table.

"What's that?" Ciel asked.

"It's my photo album of all my school days. I think I started it in the beginning of high school."

He opened the front cover to a particularly embarrassing shot of him in braces and goggles working in a lab room. "Wow I remember this. Creepy Mrs. Silincio was always taking pictures of me."

The next picture revealed the doctor in tight jeans and a band T-shirt popping a large bubble of gum.

They quickly flipped past a couple more pages at Sebastian's persistence. He did stop to explain little things, like how he graduated valedictorian and refused to go to prom because of all the others that would have been unhappy. The pictures showed a steady progression from lanky teenager to finely sculpted girl magnet. Ciel erupted in a fit of giggles as soon as they hit the college days, showing Sebastian disgustedly snapping a secret shot of his roommate picking his nose over his shoulder.

It felt nice for both of them to laugh together. Ciel was finally getting a long awaited insight into his caretaker's past and Sebastian had a good time remembering back.

As they were getting to the pictures of med school graduation, Sebastian remembered a picture coming up he didn't want Ciel to see. 'I'll just pretend the next two pages are stuck together.'

"Agh, we'll just have to skip these." he said as he started to flip past them.

"Let me try." Ciel offered and began pulling them apart before Sebastian could protest.

"Oh my, look at the time!" the doctor pointed out panicking with his right hand and shut the book with his other. "I'd better start on dinner." He couldn't allow Ciel to see that picture at any cost and began questioning his motives for putting it in there in the first place. The boy nodded, got up, and headed to the kitchen.

'Wow, he was hot even back then.' Ciel thought as he made his way to help set the table.

'I'd lose all respect if he saw me like that!' Sebastian thought on his way to prepare the meal.

Behind them on the coffee table, a picture taken by the host of a college party held the image of a very drunk Sebastian sloppily making out with a random guy in a love-seat. It sat glued to the book, forever more to collect dust again.

Oooh, a shady something from a liquor store and Sebastian in braces! What will happen next?

Thanks for reading, see you next time!

Question of the Week: If you could keep only one memory, what would it be?

If I would be left with one memory, I think I'd want it to be the day I got my current cat, Fritter. He's my precious baby and I would never ever want to forget that!
