Brinng Briing
The alarm shrieked into the sleeping boy's ear as he lazily swung his arm around, hoping to grab a hold of the alarm clock. He quickly switched off the alarm and struggled to rise from his oh-so-comfortable bed. It was 5am in the morning and Ciel began to slip into his beige jeans and black shirt that clipped a nametag that read, 'Hi, my name is Ciel'. His eyes were filled with sleep and his hair was disheveled from the twisting and turning throughout the night. Disregarding his appearance, Ciel groggily rose from his bed.
"Ouch.." Ciel muttered as his bruised arm bumped into the nightstand. He began to trace his fingers onto the purple-blue bruises he developed.
Last night, Ciel thought. Right, I fainted during P.E. So embarrassing…
A sharp pain in his head dragged Ciel back from his reminisce. Quickly, he applied pressure on both his temples to ease the pain. Must be from yesterday, Ciel assured himself.
After his episode, Ciel shuffled into his kitchen and began to pour himself a glass of steaming water. His kitchen, not noticeable large, took the dimensions of a rectangle. White cabinets and white tiles decorated the room while a dim fluorescent light illuminated the room. Ciel shivered as he introduced his bare foot onto the ice-cold tiles. Dammit, Ciel thought. The heater is probably still broken. He cupped his hands on the steaming mug, warming his cold finger tips. Afterwards, Ciel rummaged into his fridge, hoping to find something to break his fast.
"Ciel, honey, up already?," Rachael Phantomhive asked as she yawned her way into the kitchen. She poured herself a glass of hot coffee as she skimmed the local New York Times.
"Yeah..", Ciel murmured as he closed the refrigerator door which was void of any consumable food. He flinched in pain as his arm accidentally collided with the marble-white counter.
Rachael looked up from the newspaper and discovered the big bruise that was forming on her poor son's arm. "Ciel! What is that?!" Rachael exclaimed as she made her way to Ciel. Gently, she lifted his arm and began to pester him with questions.
"Mom… it was nothing. I just fell during P.E.", Ciel said as he yanked his arm from his mother's grip. He let out a large sigh as he began to munch into an apple.
Rachael was not convinced at her son's statement and insisted that she can at least bandage his arm. She understood that her son's health was frail and it always bothered her to see Ciel hurt in any way.
"Mom! I'm going to be late!" Ciel moaned out as she began to apply the finishing touches onto the bandage.
"There, there…Don't forgot to eat during lunch! I packed your favorite turkey sandwich" Rachael said happily as she helped Ciel into his winter coat and backpack.
Rolling his eyes, Ciel left his apartment without exchanging any 'good-byes' to his mom. Oh great, I'm late for work again, Ciel thought to himself. Baldroy is going to kill me! Baldroy runs a local convenient store which sells all things convenient such as toilet paper, candy bars, newspapers and chips. Ciel was a part-timer working from 5:30 to 7:30 where customers are either half-awake or half-asleep.
"Ey Ciel! What's up? Late again?" Baldroy said as the doors swished opened. Panting, Ciel made his way into the employee room and dropped off his bookbag along with his winter coat.
"I –ah- I'm s-sorry", Ciel said panting heavily from the rush of adrenaline coursing through his body. His cheeks were flushed red as he began to take charge over the counter.
Baldroy eyed Ciel's newly bandaged arm and decided that questioning it will only result in a useless conversation. "Ya better get her on time here pal. It's a good thing that I'm friends with your mom" Baldroy chuckled as he retired to the employee lounge.
The rest of the 2 hours went by smoothly. There was not a noticeably large amount of people coming in, given the time. Yet, Ciel felt exhausted afterwards. He retired to the employee lounge to retrieve his coat and backpack and exchanged soft farewells with his boss while leaving his workplace.
The only enjoyable thing about working at Baldroy's store is that it was just a few blocks away from Ciel's high school. It was normal to find his school vacant of people in the mornings and Ciel took advantage of that. He enjoyed the silence and tranquility of the library, watching the Sun's dim rays slowly penetrate the windows. This was something he savored the most during his 24 hours.
However, this time it was different. As Ciel made his way into the library he noticed something that he has not for quite some time- another person. It didn't shock the young boy, but he did find it curious. Gradually, Ciel settled into the chair furthest from the 'other person'. Yet, he didn't find it comforting at all. A strange wave a tension filled the room disturbing Ciel's idea of 'peace'. Anxious, Ciel looked around and accidently locked eyes with a certain raven-haired male. Ciel quickly diverted his gaze hoping he was unseen from his action.
"Ciel.. Phatomhive, is it?"
Ciel quickly looked up, uncertain of what to say, and nodded politely. He recognized that he was staring into a pair of ruby red eyes which stood out against his fair white skin.
"You fainted during P.E yesterday, right?"
Again, Ciel nodded cautiously. His tiny fingers started to fidget around each other. The red-eyed teen quickly took notice of it and began to form a smile.
"I don't.. really like gym" Ciel forced face quickly flushed red when he heard a faint chuckle coming from the other man. Oh great, now he's laughing at me?!, Ciel thought.
"And your arm..", the black-haired teen went on. "Is it ok?"
"O-Oh yeah! It's just a bit bruised" Ciel said as he lifted up his bandaged arm. The teen got up from his seat and walked over to Ciel. Gently, he ruffled Ciel's hair, smiled, and said, "We should get to class right now"
Ciel's face flushed while he felt contact onto his hair. "R-Right… Oh yeah, what's your name?" Ciel asked as he rose from his seat.
"Sebastian", he answered as they walked out of the library. Sebastian helped Ciel's small frame in his strangely large backpack as they arrived at Ciel's world history class.
"Thanks" Ciel murmured. "Oh, I guess we'll see other during gym?"
"Yep, hopefully you won't faint this time" Sebastian said as he smiled to himself.
The two exchanged farewells while they departed to class. Ciel, still dumbfounded, sat at his chair as he recalled what just happened. He's treating me like I'm a kid!, Ciel angrily thought to himself. Such a rude person!
As the day passed, all Ciel was thinking about was his 6th period class, P.E. It wasn't because he actually enjoyed sports or physical activity; it was because Sebastian was there. However, sitting in the cafeteria, Ciel was regretting that he came. His blonde friend Alois was talking on about the new episode of Dexter.
"And guess what" Alois asked excitedly.
"What" Ciel asked, uninterested at what was to come.
"He killed the guy. Straight out murdered him!"Alois said as his arms went up to the air. His cheeks began to puff up and turned to a light shade of pink.
Ciel rolled his eyes as he remembered the packed lunch still sitting in his backpack. He took out the turkey sandwich and gave the larger half to Alois.
"Thanks!" Alois said with a mouthful of food. "Are you sure you're not too hungry?"
"No, not anymore, anyways" Ciel said as he nibbled the edge of his sandwich.
Ciel was glad when he was finally away from Alois. On top of that, it was his phys ed. period. Bittersweet emotions arose when Ciel sat in the boy's locker room. Despite looking forward to meeting Sebastian, he absolutely hated changing here. The locker room was infamous for being obnoxiously loud. He dropped his heavy backpack and scanned the area. It stinks, Ciel thought to himself as he quickly took off his black T-shirt. Reaching into his backpack, he grabbed out one that was much larger and began to stick his head into the shirt. However, his body went numb when he felt eyes glaring onto him.
"What is THAT?!" several voices asked. Ciel defined one of them as Grell Sutcliff, who he wasn't on friendly terms with. He felt a large knot tying in his throat as his ear became muffled with all the voices. Oh no, Ciel panicked. They've seen it, they've seen it.
"Looks like a cool tattoo" he heard one kid say. Ciel quickly dropped his shirt, covering his marking. He felt his heart pounding against his chest while he realized his rapid breathing was not enough to sustain his lung's demand. He quickly ran into the boy's bathroom and locked himself in one of the stalls. Leaning over towards the toilet, Ciel became to vomit while gasping for air. His throat burned each time vomit rose up towards his mouth while his tears were running down his dark blue eyes. This can't be happening, Ciel thought as his arm began to clench his chest. No.. please. He closed his eyes, feeling completely drained and tired, and remembered that he was suppose to meet Sebastian. Did he see?, Ciel wondered as tears came down his cheeks.
Ciels stumbled onto his own two feet as his shaking fingers unlocked the stall. He felt as if he spent an eternity cooped up in the bathroom as a wave of air brushed onto his sweaty palms. It's okay, Ciel reassured himself. I'm okay…
"Ciel!" a familiar voice called out. "Ciel! I was looking for you!"
He can't see me like this, Ciel anxiously thought. However, it was too late as Sebastian was already right next to Ciel.
Again, I do apologize if it's bad, please be easy with me haha :)
