I do not own Kuroshitsuji nor any of the characters.
Rain shot down like bullets at Ciel's face and body. His dark hair was matted against his face, and his black suit was soaked. He looked at the dull, boring sky and hoped that today would be the day that he would finally escape from this place. Being forced to work in a host club…surrounded by young flirtatious boys trying to get people to have sex with them. It was insane.
"Hey! Ciel! Hurry up and get inside." Yelled a voice from across the street. "Madame Red is coming over for an inspection today, you don't want to be punished, do you?"
Ciel glanced to the other side, and to his horror, it was a gray-haired boy named Pluto. Pluto was supposed to be his 'teacher and friend' at the host club and told Ciel the dos and don'ts of the Club. Ciel only saw him as a bothersome prostitute dog, who just flirted around all day…wagging his tail at who-ever would take the time and ask him to have sex.
Pluto was also a happy, child-like boy who actually enjoyed flirting with all the clients that came to see him. Today, he was dressed in tiny bright pink shorts, and a cropped neon green sleeveless shirt, letting his pale skin be exposed to everyone. He was holding a yellow umbrella and running towards Ciel to escort him back to the Host Club. Ciel raised an eyebrow. Pluto was looking like a total girl today.
Pluto reached Ciel, Caught his breath and gave Ciel another umbrella. The umbrella was black with red roses printed on it…just his type, but Ciel didn't bother to take it. He just stood with his back against the lamppost, and eyes fixed at the gloomy gray sky.
Pluto sighed, "Look Ciel, I know you were forced into this, but so were the other boys over here. Unlike you, they do their jobs instead of standing around like some low street prostitute!"
Ciel shot Pluto a dark glare…what did he mean, 'do their jobs'?
"First off, Pluto, I am disgusted by the rest of the boys at the Host Club, including you. This is not your 'job'; you are forced into attracting men with your bodies for the sake of money. Instead of doing your 'jobs', you should be thinking of a way to run away from these types of places and back to your families. It would be a shame if I were compared to the pathetic 'other boys', so I'm quite happy I am nothing like you idiots."
Pluto just cocked his head to one side as if he didn't know a single word Ciel just said, "We're lucky we were sent here! If it wasn't for our gorgeous looks and personalities, we would have been raped right when we were kidnapped." He exclaimed.
Ciel groaned. Thank god his virginity was safe. Ever since he had come here, he acted arrogantly, and quite mean to his clients and scared them off. What Pluto said was very true, Ciel still remembered being thrown into a small room with two women examining his face and saying that he was 'fit' for the job. Other boys that had an ordinary face would be raped countless times and end up dying of exhaustion. Apart from the way Ciel felt, He did consider himself lucky enough to have a pretty face; but that didn't mean that he was happy to be here.
"Now come on! Madame Red is a very strict lady! If she sees anything out of place, she'll punish it severely!" Pluto exclaimed.
Ciel groaned as Pluto dragged him black to the club, which was filled with the rest of the male prostitutes. All of them were as equally stupid as Pluto, and were trying to enjoy themselves with their pedophile clients. Ciel almost gagged when he heard one of their conversations.
"You legs are looking very pretty today…I think I'll try them out…May I buy you for tonight?" Said an elderly man.
"Why thank you, and yes, I'd be delighted…make sure you show me a good time though." Said one of the boys.
As quiet as Ciel usually was, he couldn't help but snort loudly as he passed the stupid people at that table. This was so ridiculously hilarious. Only a desperate boy would have sex with an old man. Why was one of the top boys in the club even considering it?
Suddenly, the old man stood up from his seat and pointed at Ciel.
"You, the one dressed in the black suit." He said.
Ciel and Pluto both stopped and looked at the Elderly man. Pluto gasped, "Ciel! He's one of the top clients around here! I can't believe he's noticing you!" He whispered to Ciel.
"Tell me your name, boy." The man said curiously.
Ciel noticed that all eyes were on him. The Clients and hosts were staring at the both of them, wanting to know what would become of this situation. Both the crowds had in mind how rude Ciel was.
"Why the hell should I tell you my name?" He coldly asked.
The man crossed his arms. "What if I were to buy you for a week?" He said. Ciel could here more gasps from the crowd. "I've heard that you're still a virgin. You're worth a lot of money, young lad.
Ciel snorted again. "Oh please, go fuck someone your own age, old man. I'd rather sell my soul to the devil than go anywhere with you."
The crowd was shocked. Although it was no surprise that Ciel acted this way, the client had never been refused. He stood with his mouth open as Ciel stomped away with his chin held high.
"Ciel! Are you out of your mind?" Pluto silently whispered. "Madame Red was sitting right behind you! She saw everything!"
Ciel shrugged. "Fine, then she'll beat me up, so what? It's better to get beaten up than to be hit on by some grandpas and end up having unwanted sex with them…" He replied.
Ciel walked towards the exit door. He had seriously had enough of the fakeness of this place. Even though there was a storm outside, he didn't care, he just wanted to get out. It had been three weeks of shit and he couldn't take it anymore. With an angry sigh, he reached for the exit doorknob and turned it; but before he could open the door, an umbrella was shot right beside his head...Ciel stopped and stared at the umbrella. It was blood red, and being held by a woman's scarlet-gloved hand.
"Where do you think you're going, you little dog?" Said a woman's voice.
Ciel turned around and came face-to-face with a woman with red hair, a puffy red gown, red shoes, red gloves, and a red umbrella. Her looks said it all. This was Madame Red.
"I'm leaving." Ciel answered. "I have no intention of staying in this shit hole for anymore amount of time."
Madame red raised an eyebrow and used here umbrella to lift Ciel's chin. She moved Ciel's face from side to side, examining his flawless pale face, and his deep ocean blue eyes.
"You say that you would rather sell your soul to the devil than stay here, am I correct?" She asked, with a grin on her face.
"Yes" He firmly replied. Was this woman a psychopath? She kept looking up and down at Ciel, like she was judging a dog at a dog show, examining him carefully.
While the club was filled with silence and suspense, the door of the club opened, and in came a Chinese looking man with short black hair. He was smiling as he walked in, and stood beside Madame Red.
"Madame Red, What are you doing to this cute little boy?" He said through his smile.
"Well Lau…I think I might have found us a servant for him." Madame Red said.
Lau's eyes widened, "Really? I'm sure he would be pleased with a boy like this."
The club was filled with whispers and gestures towards them, and Pluto was pointing at Ciel mouth the words, 'you idiot'.
Ciel furrowed his eyebrows. What were they talking about… a servant? Who was 'He'? What were these people planning to do to?
Madame Red and Lau started whispering to each other. They were caught in a deep conversation and didn't notice Ciel extending his neck towards them. Ciel listened closely to what they were saying it all sounded like a bunch of words muffled together…he only heard someone's name though…and that name was, Sebastian Michaelis.
