Shadow of a Chance


Hello everyone! You mess me? I missed y'all.

So… It's been a while. For this and my other story. I apologize. I have been busy with work and school. And I have been working on this rewrite for a few weeks and I wanted to have a few chapters finished before I started posting. And now here we are! Now I won't post regularly. Obviously XD I have never posted regularly. I will probably post maybe one a month maybe twice depending on how much I write during that time. Is that agreeable?

Anyways I hope you enjoy this rewrite (:


Chapter One

Keir Michaels. One of the brightest students at Kuro-Heart High school, behind his elder brother of course. At the young age of 16 he was set to graduate early along with the upperclassmen later that year.

But despite that great achievement it didn't stop him from hating waking up in the morning and having to walk into his own personal hell. He was bullied most days. He got teased, harassed, and even shoved into lockers. His body was riddled with bruises some new and some old that were beginning to fade. If it wasn't for his older brother, Sebastian, and his brother's lover Ciel, he wouldn't even get up in the morning and go to school each day.

It disgusted him how he allowed Ciel to bribe him with kisses and promises or even allow his brother to be alright with what he and Ciel did. Guilt and self-hatred is what made him do what they asked and go to the hellhole every day. Sure he hates school but he hated himself more and more every day.

Keir normally ate out in the commons area with his friends because it was less crowded and less noisy. However today his friends wanted to eat inside because it was raining slightly outside. He ate quietly as his friends talked, and his ruby eyes roamed around the large room full of students. It wasn't long before his ears picked up his name being whispered not far from him. He was used to being talked about, used to being pushed around, and used to being called names.

If anything he should have known that he would have a really bad day eventually. It so happened today was that day. His side was bruised from where he had hit the railing of the stairs when some kid pushed him into it roughly. In every class that he was without his friends or his brother he was being called names he would rather not repeat by the girls, and pushed around or actually hit by the boys, mostly the jocks. The only reason he didn't fight back or talk back was because the few times that he had only got him sent to detention or even more beat up.

He could hear Sebastian talking about a new student with Ciel, Alois, and Claude but he wasn't really listening as he focused his mind on what a group of girls that sat behind them was saying about them. Some things they said bothered him more than most while others he just chuckled at and shook his head. The things that bothered him where that they, and pretty much everyone else at the school, talked about his friends and his own pasts. They would make awful and hurtful rumors from it. Though they didn't even know the truth. Hell they didn't even know half of the lie.

"Hey" Ciel said as he poked the raven haired teens arm. Ciel was Keir's age but was a week older than him, something they both loved. The navy haired boy was just as smart as him, if not smarter, and was to graduate early with Keir later in the year. His Uncle was his main caregiver but because he was gone most of the year the teen was allowed to do whatever he wished and with that allowance he lived with the Akuma brothers. "Are you alright?" he asked, his blue eyes looking at Keir's oddly red ones.

Keir shook his head softly seeing no reason to lie to his friend. Course lying to Ciel never seemed to work and if it ever did Keir was sure he was just letting the other believe that he got by with it. Ciel frowned softly and wrapped his arms around the raven lightly, his lips just barely touching the others neck in a soft kiss. Keir gave an annoyed sound and pushed Ciel away from him gently. "Stop it Ciel. I get harassed enough in this hell hole as it is. I don't need people seeing that and adding to what I already have to endure." he said, his eyes set in a soft glare the normally ruby color dark with his annoyance.

Out of the corner of his eyes he could see Sebastian giving him a look that told him to be careful. "Aw is our little lion afraid of the big bad girls attacking him?" Alois said from the other side of the table in front of him. "No one asked you to speak Alois." Keir said snapping at the blonde.

"He was only teasing you kid. Calm down." Claude said to him defending his little prince from Keir's anger. "Shut up." Keir snapped at him as well even more annoyed. His fuse already burning short. The elder teen glared at him, his oddly gold eyes looking near brown, but he kept his mouth shut as he turned to Alois letting the blonde talk his ear off. Keir sighed and shook his head and looked over at Sebastian needing a distraction. "So this new kid... What do you know about him?" he asked.

"Let's see from what I've heard he has long light brown hair that he has tied back at the base of his neck and he has green eyes with gold fleck in them. He is about as tall as me and Claude. All the girls think he's hot but from what I understand he doesn't talk much or smile. Short answers when asked a direct question but he is smart. I talked to Lizzie in English, from the few minutes I actually paid attention to what she was talking about, and she said he has a great taste in clothes and style. She also thinks he's gay from that fact." Sebastian said before he finished up his lunch. Keir nodded just picking at what was left on his tray with his fork as his brother spoke. He looked up once he was finished talking. "So what's his name?" he asked noticing that he never said it. Sebastian just shrugged his shoulders. "I never caught it." he said to his brother. Keir shook his head. "Well you're useless." he mumbled.

Without the distraction of Sebastian talking to him his mind quickly wandered off after that few moments and he heard the girls behind them whisper an old rumor around. He knew the rumor very well and normally he laughed it off and called the person who spoke it a dumbass. However, today wasn't a day he could do that. Instead his anger burned inside him its claws digging into him not letting go.

With a low growl like noise from deep within his chest he pushed away from the table. His red eyes glared down at the faux wood grain as his hands formed fists at his sides, nails digging into his palms. He heard Ciel give a startled gasp at his rough movement and the girls quickly went quiet. "I... I need to go home." he said each word dripping with anger even though he tried to cover it. He didn't spare anyone, not even his friends, a glance as he rushed towards the outer doors.

"Keir!" he heard both Sebastian and Ciel yell after him and their footsteps on the tile floor as they followed him to the doors. He sighed once he was out in the commons and he walked to a table that was just barely covered and out of the rain. He sat down on the top of the table waiting for the two to catch up to him. Not even seconds later was Ciel out the door and had his arms around Keir. "You can't do this. You can't leave. If you skip another day you'll be expelled." Ciel said as he looked up at Keir. The raven gave a faint sigh as he wrapped his arms around him. "Ciel… I just can't deal with it anymore. The more they say and the more pissed I get…. And you know what happens once I've reached my limit." He said before getting cut off by a harsh and demanding kiss from the other.

Without even thinking about whether or not there was a teacher around or any students he kissed back. The only sound he could hear, over the sound of his heart beating loudly, was the sound of Sebastian shifting his weight from one foot to the other but his brother didn't make a move to stop them so he assumed they were clear. With that in mind he tightened his arms around the blue haired boy and pulled him onto the table with him, forcing Ceil to straddle his hips. He knew he was going too far, he knew he needed to stop but even though he knew didn't make him stop from running his tongue over Ciel's lip.

"Someone is coming!" Sebastian said to them to get them to stop and to separate. But his warning was unheard and too late as the door leading out to the parking lot opened, making them all freeze where they were. "Shit." Ciel cursed and hid his face in Keir's neck, using a part of his jacket to hide the dark blush that rose to his cheeks. Keir prayed to whoever listening that it wasn't a teacher before a soft pink rose on his face when he laid eyes on the student that walked through the doors.

Immediately he knew it was the new student. Not only because he had never seen the boy before but because of what he looked like. His hair was long light brown with dark natural highlights throughout, and it was so long that if it wasn't tied up he was sure would go down to the middle of the males back. He wore a black leather jacket with a light blue shirt underneath and he had on dark blue jeans. But what all that wasn't what made him blush. No it the boy's green-gold eyes that at first glance almost fooled him into thinking of innocence but at the second glace he saw everything but innocence. There was only one person that could make the raven blush or have him feel any type of attraction towards. That was Ciel but now apparently this new student whose name he didn't even know could as well.

"We can explain." Sebastian said as he stepped in front of Keir and Ciel effectively blocking the new kid's view of the pair and breaking the intense stare the new kid and Keir had. The new kid just switched his gaze to Sebastian and shook his head before walking off towards the main building only glancing back at Keir before disappearing behind the large black doors.

Sebastian was quiet for a while before turning around towards Keir and Ciel. "So…. That was the new student." He said as he walked to the table sitting beside Ciel once he slid off Keir's lap. Sebastian laid down on the table sighing. "I think we scared him." Ciel said looking down at Sebastian a soft smile on his face. Keir hummed softly in agreement his eyes still on the doors that the boy has disappeared behind. "He was hot." He said not thinking and only looked at them when no one said anything, both of them where staring at him in surprise. "What?!" he asked blinking. "It's not impossible for me to like someone other than Ciel." He mumbled making the two laugh at him, both happy.

Before any of them could speak about what happened the bell rang ending lunch and not long after did Alois and Claude walk out of the cafeteria, joining them by the table. "I thought you were leaving?" Claude said looking at Keir as he handed Sebastian his backpack and Alois handed Ciel and Keir's theirs. Keir shrugged and smirked over at Ciel. "I was convinced otherwise." Alois gave a soft laugh while Claude just looked like he wished he never asked. "Please tell me you didn't fuck out here." He said looking disgusted making Alois laugh even more. "Of course not!" Ciel said blushing and glared at Claude. "So what if we did? You jealous?" Keir said easily covering Ciel's words and laughed when the other boy punched him in the arm.

Claude shook his head and walked off towards the main building Alois following him with a soft laugh. Sebastian grabbed Ciel's hand shaking his head Keir thought it was obvious he was amused. Keir watched them walk in the same direction as Claude and Alois and looked towards the outer doors leading to the parking lot before he turned and followed them to their classroom.

He gave a faint sigh as he walked into the physics room every black top table full except for the one at the back near the windows that sat him, Ciel and Sebastian, with one stool open beside himself. When they did labs and experiments they would move the stools to both sides of the table but during lectures the four stools were lined behind the table facing the front of the room. Keir quickly saw that they would be sitting through yet another long and undoubtedly boring class when he saw the stools and were they sat as he walked to the back of the class taking his seat next to Ciel.

The table in front of them sat Alois, Claude, Ronald and some boy he didn't remember the name of. Alois turned around on his stool to talk to them while Claude seemed more interested in his notes. "So when you three left those girls from the table next to ours came over. They were annoying as usual but this time I really wanted to slap them. But Claude stopped me." He said his eyed wandering over to his boyfriend trying to get his attention. Keir frowned, he hated how their relationship was. How Alois practically begged for attention and Claude would only give it when it suited him. Keir cared for both of them but he wished they would see that their relationship was going to end at some point… Whether it was good or in disaster it was going to end and depended on when or if they figured it out.

"What were they doing now?" Ciel asked looking at Alois making the blonde turning his attention back to them. "Oh this and that. They wanted some dirt on Keir just to tease him with, As if I would tell them anything. But one girl, the one with glass and is real quiet asked a question that nearly made me slap them. She asked… She asked if you had really done it." Alois said looking at Keir.

Keir frowned more and his muscles tensed just like they always did when the subject was brought up. He felt Ciel's hand start rubbing his back in between his shoulder blades and once he started to relax his hand played with the black strands on the back of his neck. "Sorry." Alois said looking at him. "But I thought you should know that it was probably going to be coming up around here again."

"It's fine." Keir said shrugging making Ciel's hand stop playing with his hair. "If anyone gets bold enough to ask me themselves then I'll just hit them and let them come up with their own conclusion."

"You know you can't do that Keir. If you get detention or expelled it won't do good for graduation." Sebastian said looking over at his younger brother. "After you get your diploma sure go ahead and get in some fights I won't stop you." He continued with a chuckle making Keir join in smiling. "I'll hold you to that." He said once his quiet laughter had calmed.
