Chapter 1
Your Ruby Eyes
.
.
Two brown mahogany doors were opened. White ribbon rolled beautifully on the doors' handle. Laces, ribbons, and colorful balloons hang on the wall and on every curtain binders.
In the middle of the well-decorated room, the Phantomhive family and their relatives gathered. They surrounded a cute teal-haired boy. The boy's sapphire eyes reflected the candlelight on the top of the huge blackforest, the light from six thin candles.
"Well, Ciel, pray your wish and blow the candlelight," said a woman with blonde hair in a soft tone to the teal-haired boy. A smile graced her beautiful face when she talked.
"Besides, your present can't wait any longer. They wanted to be opened soon," said a man besides the blonde-haired woman. His hair was as teal as Ciel's.
He has a handsome face which was also grace by a smile.
"Alright, Mum, Dad!" the boy named Ciel shouted in bliss.
A few minutes later, Ciel finished his pray and blew all the candles off. The claps and laughter filled the room. Most of the relatives shook Ciel's little hand or patted his head and said 'happy birthday', while Ciel's parents had a chat with their relatives.

"Congratulation, Vincent, Rachel! Your son is six years old now," said a tall man with black locks. He was looked mysterious and wise because of his red-wine eyes.
"Thank you, Albert," Vincent chuckled.
"Besides, your son is very cute," said the woman beside Albert. Her hair was as black as Albert's, but her eyes were as beautiful as amethyst.
"Thanks, Lillia. Well, it's the first time you see him since you became Mrs. Michaelis, isn't it?" said Rachel smiling. Lillia smiled back. This wasn't the first time they met. Even they had become a good friend for each other for a long time. The two men followed smiling.
"What's a pity? My dear cousin can't see our Ciel when he was younger," said Vincent in a teasing tone. Vincent knew well the reason why his cousin couldn't see Ciel before, but he also loved to tease her.
"Huh! Don't be so rude, Vincent! Albert had an important job in another town! That's why we couldn't see each other back then,"" Lillia pouted. Vincent, Albert, and Rachel laughed at this point.
"By the way where is your son?" asked Vincent while searching through out the room. He wanted to see that boy, Sebastian Michaelis, who had raven hair and red-wine eyes. Of course, he wanted to introduce him to his own son.
"He's over there," said Albert, pointing at the window direction, "He doesn't like noise and … crowd."
All of them wanted to approach Sebastian, but they stop and decided not to interfere when they saw a small boy approached Sebastian before them.

Sebastian Michaelis was leaning on the wall. His gaze flew far away through the window to the fallen snow.
"Whoaa! It's snowing!" said a cheerful tone.
Sebastian turned his gaze. His eyes were locked to the little figure next to him. A teal-haired boy stood beside him with hands clenching on the window frame for height support. The boy's sapphire eyes went wide in awe.
"Yes, it's so beautiful, too much," said Sebastian almost whispered to himself. His eyes never left the figure. The boy was so cute. He was trapped into that view, the view of Ciel in front of him.
"Ah! Are you watching the snow too?" Ciel finally noticed Sebastian's presence and started the conversation.
"Yes," Sebastian answered gently, "the snow reminds us that Christmas is coming soon, doesn't it?"
"You're right, brother. Then it's time for Christmas tree, present, and CAKES! Yaay~" Ciel raised both of his hands.
"Well, you must like cakes very much. That's the loudest part you shout," Sebastian chuckled.
"I do!" Ciel nodded. He smiled brightly towards Sebastian.
"By the way, what is your name?"
"What? You come here even without knowing my name?" Ciel asked back in confusion.
"…."
"…."
"Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't participate in the party, so I don't know you're the one on birthday," at this point Sebastian kneeled down in front of Ciel, "Besides this is our first meeting, isn't it? You must be Ciel, aren't you?"
"Why didn't you join us then?" Ciel pouted. His face was still cute even those azure eyes were glaring daggers at Sebastian.
"Umm…. I don't like crowd…. Once again, sorry," Sebastian cupped both of his hands on Ciel's pouted cheeks.
"I'm truly sorry for saying late, Happy Birthday, Ciel…." Sebastian smiled gently. His crimson eyes met Ciel's sapphire.
Both of them were silent. No word was spoken.
Ciel gazed at the older boy, observing Sebastian intently. His raven hair was as dark as the night sky. His pale skin was the same as vampires in those fairy tales. And most of all his eyes … his crimson eyes were so beautiful, red like the richest wine, glowed like ruby, as if he didn't belong to this world. This older boy was so … handsome. Ciel blushed at the thought and the fact that the older was holding his face.
"So," Ciel averted his sapphire eyes, "as you said before, this is our first meeting. Then, what is your name?"
"Sebastian," answered the raven, "Sebastian Michaelis."
From faraway, Albert and Lillia called Sebastian and informed him that they will come home soon. Sebastian also swore he heard his mother mumbled something like 'cute' or else.
"Okay, Mum, Dad," Sebastian removed his hands which caused Ciel felt a sudden lost. Then he stood and threw the last smile for Ciel.
"Nice to meet you, Ciel," with that, Sebastian left.
Ciel was still speechless. His mind was too busy to process all that had happened just now. He just stood there, stared at the older's back as he went away.
"Nice to meet you too … Sebastian Michaelis," Ciel almost whispered to himself when Sebastian was lost from his sight. In the depth of his heart, he felt something unusual. It felt like a wish, a wish to meet that raven again.

Author's Note :
Hi, all! I'm a newcomer here. This is my first fanfic and it's goin' to be a multi-chaptered fic. Haha. (I'm not sure it's my first. This fic come together with "Monochrome Tune", but that one is in Indonesian. Does that count?)
Actually, I dedicate this fic for Christmas. But thanks to my dereliction so I can't publish this fic on time. *sigh* (sarcasm for my own self)
Since English is not my mother language, I apologize for such a bad grammar, typos (if there are any), and many other mistakes.
Reviews are so appreciated. So, if you don't mind, please give me one or more. Heheh. Really, I will treasure them as long as they're not flames. Because I want to improve my writing ability and flames won't be any help, will it?
At least, thanks for reading. Hope you like my story.
