Hello everybody! I've been a long time reader of fanfiction and I've just recently joined, and this is my first story! I've always loved the Ciel-Sebastian pairing, but what will happen to them after this chapter who knows... This chapter's quite innocent by the way hahaha. (I can't have too much on the first chapter! .)
Background info: Ciel, 15 years old, junior high school division, Sebastian?... high school division, all in the same school. I guess I'm following the Japan Education grade thing, but only that, I'm not following strictly.
Please leave reviews so that I know where I've gone wrong, or gone good heehee. Thank you, and hope you all enjoy!
Ciel slowly wheeled his bike into the school grounds to the bicycle lock rack, chaining it to a free rack, and sauntered to the entrance of his school building. He could feel the people around him gazing, and as he turned his head slightly to his side, a group of school girls who were staring at him shrieked a bit, blushing ferociously as he stared back with his large azure blue eye, and continued walking towards the building.
Annoying.
All he could think of, as he swung his hand-carried bag over his shoulder, was fucking, annoying.
It was annoying that he had to put up with this every day, with shrieking fangirls who crowded around his classroom during lunch break just to get a glimpse of him, of students who would stare at admiration as he ignored teachers when they scold him for being too arrogant with them (what's so admirable about that? Teachers were a bore anyway), or even with the people who tried to be his friends to be in the cool crowd. Cool? Was he really that great? All he wanted was to live a normal school life, with nice friends, and a nice environment. Not a noisy, hierarchical school. God, he could actually die of being tired here.
But normal was kind of out of range for him, with a medical eye patch over his right eye because of abnormal incidents, and the mystery behind it made it all the more annoying that many people would always ask about it. Was it really that fascinating? It was just a normal piece of white cotton, nothing fascinating at all.
Yeah, he was fairer than any other guy, and had pretty decent looks – navy hair, with bangs barely draping over his eyes, large blue eyes, and, as his aunt would gush over, pink pretty lips. Ugh, the thought of having pretty lips was beyond disgusting. And yet, chicks dig it, his classmates would chuckle, only to look at him once more with weird looks in their eyes. Yeah yeah, he also looked like a girl as well. That's twice the gross factor.
He sighed as entered his class, only to have more eyes on him as he made his way to his desk, which was right beside the window right at the back of the room. He put his brown bag down standing upright on the floor and looked out of the window. One good thing about his seat, other than there was good wind, was that there was a tree right outside, and during the session it would shower pink petals, a beautiful sight. He placed his cheek on his right hand, with his elbow on the table, and cocked his head to the side, thinking about jumping out and landing on the tree, pretending to be the ruler of the world – not even noticing the girls gushing over his dazed look – when all this was broken with someone jumping on him really hard, and Ciel only groaned really loudly, too used to this everyday occurrence.
Alois Trancy suddenly appeared right in front of him, taking his seat in front of Ciel, and sat facing Ciel, holding the back of the chair excitedly, like a little kid expecting some candy in return.
"Did I finally manage to scare you? Did I?" Alois seemed to be the very exact opposite of Ciel; cheery, childish, jumpy, and too excited to be even fifteen years old, while Ciel seemed to be some grumpy old man.
"Oh yes, you finally did, I was so scared," Ciel could hardly keep the sarcasm out of his voice, and rolled his eyes. Alois was the most childish person he had ever seen in his life, and was still puzzled as to why he was insistent on following Ciel around. Alois frowned, and flicked Ciel's forehead with his middle finger, earning a loud yelp of surprise and Ciel snapping, "What was that for?"
"Stop being such an unemotional little brat, you need colour in your life!" Alois chirped, and pointed towards himself, "I'm a great service I'm sure," and he tipped Ciel's face towards his, pulling close until their noses touched. Screams could be heard from all over the class, and Ciel head-butted Alois and the latter was soon touching his forehead grumpily, looking all pitiful and upset. "It was only fan-service!"
Ciel smiled slightly; Alois seemed to be the only friend he could trust. With short light blonde hair which curled at the ends, and side bangs which were obviously breaking school rules, Alois got into more trouble than Ciel, but always managed to wriggle out of it, walking away with a cunning smile. He had blue eyes as well, except they were icy blue, and together with his skinny frame, just like Ciel, he looked like a girl as well, except he acted like one. Sometimes, Ciel was glad Alois insisted on following him around; despite being such a frilly character and attracting unnecessary attention, and also always bugging him and trying to irritate him in every way, Alois would always protect him from the constant bullies he faced. Having such a skinny frame, good looks, and high popularity, it was not surprising the seniors would always corner him and taunt him. And then all Alois had to do was look at them with his icy cold eyes, pull their ties forcefully down until they were eye to eye, and say, "I'm going to be nice to you and give you a teeny tiny warning – you touch him and I'm telling everyone you ravaged me. Not very hard to convince I dare say," and they would immediately step back. Of course, it was the other way round.
Ciel shook his head and looked out of the window, and shifted his eye to the people walking towards the school building, noticing the same group of girls gawking at another two individuals walking slowly towards the school. They both had raven-coloured medium length hair; one had a center parting with a long fringe hanging, and did not have his tie on, his shirt tucked out, and was wearing the senior division long black pants. The other had his long fringe tucked to the side so that it did not cover his angular face but still looked slick and neat at the same time, and had rectangle spectacles, his shirt un-tucked as well, but still looked neater than the other one. They got stopped by a balding teacher who was scolding them for their appearance, and with one glare the teacher cowered to the side, letting them pass. Ciel snorted and thought, useless.
Alois wrapped his arms around Ciel's neck and placed his head on top of his, looking to where the latter was looking to, and licked his lips, "Hm, you have good taste friend!" Ciel snorted again, and said, "I don't swing that way like you do, friend." But he continued to stare at the good-looking men. The one with the center parting suddenly lifted his head looked at Ciel's direction, and gave a small smirk towards him. Suddenly Ciel realized he was surrounded by not just Alois but his female classmates as well, and they all shrieked when the senior smiled towards them. But for some reason, Ciel had a feeling that man was smiling directly towards him. Alois blew an air kiss towards the two seniors while Ciel looked onwards boredly. What rubbish, is this even a school? Ciel thought and stood up, deeming the place too noisy and walked out of the classroom for a slow stroll first before school started.
He slowly walked down to the first floor – his classroom was on the third – and plugged in his earphones, listening to his usual Japanese rock music. He loved loud music; it seemed to just drown him and wash away every problem he had. Ciel slowly strolled towards the school's garden, which was unused except by him when he wanted some peace and quiet, and looked down at all the flowers which were soon wilting away. Even on the brink of death the daisies and sunflowers looked happier than he was. He poked them with his feet, careful not to step on them, and then walked to the garden shed, hidden in another corner, to take the watering can. A year ago this entire garden was dying away, and although it did look much better now thanks to Ciel the flowers still needed caring for. Although it seemed like something Ciel would never do, caring for little pathetic flowers, it soothed his raging mind.
Ciel tipped the can over the flowers and showered them. Hopefully they would make it, he thought. He had absolutely no idea whether he was doing the right thing, but at least he was doing something. Suddenly, the loud music going, "…little did I know, you would save my soul…" stopped and his earphones were unplugged. A small whisper filled his right ear, "Bringing earphones to school? How naughty."
"What the-"
Ciel whipped around to find the senior student with a center parting right behind him, holding his earphones and whipping it around, a smirk on his face. Ciel growled, and tried to snatch his earphones back, only to have his hand caught by the smirking senior, and the senior pulled his face close to the younger male, and looked at him intensely. Looking at the older male at such a close range, Ciel realized his eyes were an intense crimson red, and stared at Ciel as if piercing his soul. Ciel was definitely annoyed by the handsome male. No one has ever dared to touch him in such a way, not even his fangirls as it would only earn them a glare and a growl – which usually just increased his fangirl population. Ciel retracted his hand back and pushed the senior back, rubbing his wrists where the senior grabbed him.
"What a friendly greeting, I was merely reminding you of the school rules," the older male chuckled, clearly amused by Ciel.
Ciel merely stared at him with shock and anger, clearly not amused and unhappy that someone spoiled his morning, although it was a change from his boring school life.
"Sebastian Michaelis," the senior held his hand out, but Ciel immediately slapped it. First, his earphones were taken away from him, and then he was taunted with that stupid smirk on the older male's face – this was definitely not amusing at all, at least not to Ciel. Although there was no one around, he felt humiliated.
Ciel began to walk away, and then Sebastian grabbed him by his arm, the smirk still on his face. "Aren't you going to ask why I approached you?"
Ciel rolled his eyes. "Not interested."
"Such a sharp tongue for such a pretty boy," Sebastian said, rolling his eyes in a mocking way.
Ciel began to turn red – no one has ever talked to him in such a way except for Alois, and that was only after they established their trust in one another, and not as strangers.
"You're not going to tell me your name?" Sebastian pushed on, still staring at Ciel right in his eye.
"None of your fucking business, now let me go, I've got class." Ciel pulled his arms hard, and did a half jog to avoid getting caught by him again. He heard Sebastian call again, "If you want your earphones you can always ask around for me." A laughter followed. Ciel looked slightly around his shoulder, and realized the older male was gone. He shrugged before jogging up the stairs and getting scolded by the teacher for being 20 minutes late. He sat back down in his seat and immediately looked out of the window, a habit either when the lesson was too boring – it was history right now – or when he wanted to think things through. This time it happened to be both.
Alois leant back and turned sideways, looking at Ciel's thinking face, which Alois always thought to be quite charming. "Whacha thinking of, little prince?" Little prince was a nickname Ciel was used to – Alois said Ciel was too stuck up to be an ordinary human being. Ciel ignored him and began to think of this morning's encounter with the handsome senior. Coolly parted raven hair, crimson eyes, an angular face, a devilish look, piercings lining his earlobes, un-tucked shirt… Really, why did he approach Ciel? Ciel thought for a moment, but it was too early in the morning to think, so he decided to lean his head on the table and sleep through the day's lessons.
Sebastian looked down from his classroom window and realized the charming little boy he found this morning – who was humming to Sebastian's favourite song – looking out of his own classroom window one level down at the opposite block. He chuckled softly; what an interesting boy. Every other person was the same – flustered and embarrassed in Sebastian's presence. At first, he thought it to be interesting that he was thought of that way, but it grew boring in the end. The little boy with the bluest innocent eyes he had ever seen was very different. In fact, it was a first that one would actually talk back to him.
Claude looked at his smirking friend – the grin which obviously said I've-found-my-next-target-and-I'm-going-to-fuck-him-so-badly; Claude thought, Oh god I have never seen him giggle so hard to himself before. He pushed his glasses up his nose and stretched his left leg and pushed Sebastian off-balanced, before saying, "Found a new toy?"
Sebastian only chuckled. "Perhaps, an interesting one."
Claude sighed; Sebastian's sexual cravings were so high he could find 6 people in a day to "eat"; it was no joke, with sex, Sebastian could go all day without food. Claude just continued to write his plans for the day in his journal and let his friend be in his giggly world for all he cares.
