Well. It's been a while. ^^; But I'm back again with a new fanfic. I've always wanted to try a modern day one, so here it is. I don't think this story really has a plot. It's just me taking some of the characters and dumping them into an average AU school world. I suppose we'll see how it goes. It's also the longest fanfic I've ever written.
I hope you enjoy and please review. (:
~Double Chemistry~
"Ciiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeellllllll!"
"Go away."
"Ciel! Ciel! Ciel!"
"Alois. It is too early."
"Ciel."
The young boy (whose name was quite clearly Ciel) hesitantly poked his head from beneath the covers, to see a large, icy blue pair of eyes glare at him.
"You promised, Ciel," the blonde growled.
"Promised what, exactly?"
Alois let out a dramatic sigh, leaning back slightly from the unlucky soul he deemed to be his "best friend," and rolled his eyes in a surely-you-haven't-forgotten manner. "Ciel. You promised that we could walk to school together this morning. Seeing as you blew me off yesterday afternoon so you could go and make out with that... Sebastian guy." The blonde's eyes narrowed in bitterness and a pout of jealousy formed on his petal lips.
"Ugh! Alois, you're disgusting!" Ciel's ears were steadily growing red, a flush staining across his cheeks, "We were not doing anything of the sort! He tutors me. You know that."
"Because I'm the only one for Ciel, right?" Alois confirmed, snuggling up to his friend.
"Alois, get off me! Why are you sitting on me in the first place? Who let you in?"
"First of all, no. Secondly, to wake you up. You're a really deep sleeper. And thirdly, I know that your auntie Anne keeps the spare key under the door~"
Finally, Ciel's head cleared. He groaned, sat up a little, and...
"GAH! Alois, what the hell are you wearing?"
"My school uniform. What else?"
"I don't ever remember thigh-high socks, heeled boots and... booty shorts becoming regulation."
"Well, they didn't... exactly..." Alois bit down on a fingertip in what he obviously thought was a cute, seductive manner and looked sheepish.
"...Fine. I don't care. Just let me up."
"But, Ciel, I came early for a reason..." the blonde leant forward, but his grey-haired friend snapped into action quickly, jerking his legs back so that Alois was sent tumbling to the floor.
"Ouch! There was no need for that," he grumbled, picking himself up and rubbing his head slightly.
"Yes, there was," Ciel retorted blankly. "Now stay here, don't break anything. I'm going for a shower."
"I'll join y-"
"No."
"Ciel!"
xXx
"Go away."
"But-"
"Go and die."
"You don't mean that, Ciel!"
"Yes. I do." The grey-haired boy stalked ahead of his friend, the sky above them dull and cloudy. His blonde friend merely pouted and quickened his pace to meet that of Ciel.
This was the beginning of a migraine.
Any time spent with Alois usually was.
The blond pouted a little more, before quickly getting distracted as usual.
"Hey, Ciel, look how fat that pigeon is!"
"..."
It was going to be a long morning.
xXx
Alois clearly had not realised that his friend was not listening to a word he said. He decided to spend the morning nattering away, quite pleased to get a short grunt in return to any questions he asked.
This, Ciel could deal with. It was rather peaceful, actually, with the exception of his blond "friend" talking about nothing next to him.
"DOUBLE RAINBOW ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE SKY!"
"Alois Trancy," Ciel began, mentally face-palming at the blonds' ringtone, "What the actual f-"
"Hey, Lizzie!"
"L-Lizzie...?" Ciel froze. What exactly was that nut job doing talking to his cousin...? If Elizabeth talked to that thing, her mind would most likely be... scarred forever...
"ALOIS TRANCY, HANG UP THAT PHONE RIGHT NOW!"
The... poor... blonde very nearly dropped the device in his hand in shock, fumbling and catching it at the last moment.
"Ciel, what the hell?" he growled, glaring at his friend. "She wanted to talk to you anyway," he concluded, rolling his baby-blue eyes and passing the phone over.
"O-Oh." They grey-haired boy's ears turned a noticeable shade of red as he accepted the phone and Alois giggled.
"Ciel is so cu-"
He was cut off by a foot hurtling for his shin.
"CIEL!"
The feminine boy's wail went apparently unnoticed by his friend, who was directing his attention at the phone.
"What is it, Lizzie?"
"Ciel, that Soma guy is-" The voice of Ciel's cousin was abruptly cut off, as the small but ridiculously over-priced mobile hurtled to the floor at the blonde's feet.
"CIEL! You are never using my phone again," Alois huffed from somewhere behind him.
"Damn it!" Ciel growled through clenched teeth. Not only was that pesky guy bothering him, but now he had gotten started on his cousin. Would he be surrounded by idiots his whole life?
"Ciel, wait!" the blonde boy moaned.
"No, walk faster."
xXx
"Alois-" Ciel turned to his friend, only to see that the psychotic blonde was no longer trotting along by his side, huffing, panting and complaining bitterly. Ciel turned in a moment of confusion. They had finally reached the school grounds, yet it seemed that the blonde had apparently... disappeared into thin air. It actually crossed the grey-haired boy's mind for a second that Alois had, in fact, died as he had threatened to many a time on their brisk walk.
That was until he turned his head to see Alois' real location.
Ciel let out a sigh to see Alois hanging on Claude Faustus' arm, just as the rain had come on, it seemed. The blonde clearly took great joy in huddling underneath the vast black umbrella with the older student, nattering away and grinning happily. Claude, it appeared, didn't particularly mind it either, as he hadn't shoved the blonde out into the rain, as most people who knew Alois Trancy would be inclined to do.
"Trancy!" Ciel barked the other's name, and the blonde finally took notice of him, tearing his eyes away from Claude's flawless face and letting the sky blue orbs rest on Ciel again.
"Oh, hey, Ciel!" he called, waving.
The sharp droplets falling from the overcast sky overhead fells into Ciel's long fringe, dripping into his azure eyes. He glowered and the drips rolled off his neat, little nose. "Are you coming or not?"
"Umm..." Alois pouted a moment, looking from Claude's emotionless and noticeably dry face to Ciel's ticked-off, dripping one. "Actually, Ciel, I think I'll stay with Claude a while... eheh..."
"..."
"..."
"I'll see you in registration class, right?" the blonde trilled, "Let's go inside, Claude!" The poor older pupil was dragged into the school building, with a tiny, barely visible sigh.
Ciel growled, before ramming his way through the school doors and bursting into the library where Lizzie usually spent her mornings.
"LIZZIE!"
The grey-haired boy was greeted with "Shhhhh!" hissed by those who actually wanted to study. Or read. Something which Alois seemed to believe people never actually did in real life.
"Ciel!" A little blonde head popped around one of the shelves, brilliantly blue eyes blinking in a mixture of surprise and confusion. "What are you...?" Elizabeth's voice trailed off when she saw the expression on her cousin's face.
"Where is he?" Ciel hissed, glaring.
"...?"
"Where is Soma?" Ciel growled the Indian's name.
"Hi, Ciel!" The golden eyes slid shut as the Indian boy grinned in stupid bliss.
The grey-haired boy blinked in apparent bemusement. He had thought that... He eyed his cousin in suspicion.
"Lizzie... what was it that you wanted to talk to me about?"
"Oh. That." The girl grinned sheepishly, dropping her gaze, "That chemistry that I wanted you to help me with, well, it turns out that Soma knew what to do anyway."
"...What?" Ciel gave a half-hearted snarl, more out of exasperation than anything.
"Um... well... you know. I didn't want you to get held back from your own work, Ciel..."
"But I thought that..."
"You thought that...?"
Ciel turned a startlingly deep shade of crimson. "I... never mind," he muttered, dashing from the library and leaving the pair behind him merely sitting there and staring after him.
xXx
The science corridor.
Yes.
At last he was somewhere quiet.
Somewhere where he could think.
And reflect.
And-
"CIEL!"
The grey-haired boy's left eye twitched.
"Alois."
