Hello all! I've finally been able to get this story started. I posted an exclusive preview on DeviantART a few months ago but just now got off my lazy ass to get it started. So hooray for that.

FULL SUMMARY: AU Sebastian Michaelis and Ciel Phantomhive were an engaged couple who couldn't wait to wed. But in a sudden turn of events, it is revealed that Sebastian had recently married Grell Sutcliff, a rich aristocrat who had been childhood friends with Ciel. Enraged, Ciel derives a plan to get back what is truly his. He continuously follows the couple around everywhere they go and sends constant death threats. They meet up again on a boat where the couple has no where else to run. What will happen when Ciel finally gets his chance to get revenge?

Sebastian: Cookie doesn't own Kuroshitsuji or its characters.

Me: This is AU and is based off of Agatha Christie's novel "Death on the Nile" and its play counterpart "Murder on the Nile".

This is AU so expect for some characters to be OOC and for logic to not make sense (ex: Two men getting married in London and it being socially acceptable).

You Don't See the Moon Anymore

A redhead walked down the streets of London, secretly cherishing every head that turned in the process. Whether it was a man or a woman, no one really knew. But one thing was for sure, everyone knew the ever so popular name.

"Did you see that?"

"Was that Grell Sutcliff that just walked by?"

"The one and only!"

He flashed a smile to the whispering folk and kept walking until he reached his destination: his mansion. Grell Sutcliff was famous because of his father being such a wealthy and successful business man. The young redhead had everything he had ever wanted, so he was used to getting whatever he felt should be his. Grell Sutcliff always got his way, no matter what. The only thing he yearned for that was never given to him was the want to be female. Even as a child he admits to feeling like he was trapped in the wrong body. It never felt right. Another thing he didn't have was someone to love. Every man he came across only tried to buy him off with their own riches, riches that he didn't need. And the only thing the women did was try to impress him with flirting and seduction.

He sighed as he sat in his study, filing through some paperwork about partnering with another business, a job that he tired of doing.

A knock at the door was like music to his ears as he allowed the person in. It was his personal assistant, "Yes? What is it, William?'

"You have a visitor. Someone who claims to have known you from long ago. I heavily encourage you to send the idiot away post haste."

Someone from behind pushed the stern man out of the way, "Grell! Would you please get Will to realize who I am?"

A smile came upon Grell's pale face, "Why Ciel, how nice to see you! How have you been?"

Ciel came up and grasped the redhead's gloved hands in his small ones, "Well it's been tough since the… incident. But I must tell you about a man I met!"

"Who?"

"His name is Sebastian Michaelis! He's so charming and quite handsome! Oh Grell, how I love him so!" He said with a dreamy look in his eyes.

It slightly stunned Grell to see his best friend feeling so unlike himself, but was happy nonetheless, "I'm so glad you found someone! You deserve to have a break from the troubles in your life."

Ciel let go of the taller man's hands, "I actually didn't come here just to tell you that."

"Oh?" The wealthy man said with interest.

"It's about Sebastian. He's as bad off as I am financially. He's asked me to marry him, and I said yes, but neither of us has enough for a wedding or even rings. I was hoping that you could perhaps give him a job somewhere in your business. Surely, you must understand. Sebastian can do anything you ask of him, anything at all." The 20 year old spoke in a melancholy tone.

Grell thought for a moment, glancing at William who still stood rigid at the doorway, "Of course, Ciel. Yes… definitely. I'll be sure to find him a place. Can you bring him by at the end of the week?"

Ciel's face lit up as he embraced the other in a hug, "Oh thank you! You have no idea how much this means to us! You have our eternal greatness! See you in a few days!"

William promptly moved out of the way for the young man to leave and then turned to his superior, "Who was that?"

"Will, you must learn my friends' names. That was Ciel Phantomhive; we've known each other since when we met in school." He smiled, reminiscing through the memories, "We were inseparable, until he disappeared."

"Disappeared?"

Grell nodded, "Yeah. His parents were murdered by a group of cultists, and Ciel was their only child. But all of the money they had was gone and Ciel soon fell into poverty. He's still struggling, but I'm glad that he's found someone he loves."

Two days later, William was sitting in one of the small cafés in London, sipping a cup of coffee quietly. As he set the cup down on it's saucer, he overheard a rather enthusiastic conversation from a few tables over. But one of the voices was one he faintly recognized.

It was Ciel Phantomhive.

Without making it noticeable, he turned to get a good look at who he was sitting with. It was another man, with broad shoulders, jet black hair, and a face that looked like it was sculpted perfectly. He leaned in slightly to hear more of the conversation.

"We'll wait about a month or so for you to get comfortable with your new job. And then… oh Sebastian I can't wait!" The young adult said ecstatically.

There was a chuckle from the older man, "We can't rush into this, Ciel. Keep in mind that we have all the time in the world." He stroked the other's hand, "There is no need to be hasty."

"I just can't believe that you're all mine. I want to make sure that… I couldn't handle another traumatizing event in my life. I might just go mad. I'd die if you ever left me, Sebastian. I could never survive without you." Ciel spoke with a contented sigh.

"There is no need to worry. You will always belong to me, and there will be no one else. I don't need someone else." He kissed Ciel's temple.

William frowned at the exchange between them. It practically made him sick to see such things in a public place. He finished his coffee, choosing to ignore what was left of the couple's conversation. He didn't care anymore.

The next day, a small carriage arrived at the Sutcliff manor. Grell peered out the window to see a dashing young gentlemen get out, followed by Ciel. He was overcome with the other man's beauty. He looked flawless, humble, and elegant. And those eyes looked like they could melt anyone's heart.

He hastily made his way outside to greet Ciel with a hug, "Ciel, I'm glad you could make it!" His attention turned to the handsome man, "And is this who I think it is?"

"Grell, this is Sebastian, my fiancé." Ciel said with a smile, gesturing to the tall raven-haired man beside him.

Sebastian took ahold of Grell's hand and kissed it lightly, "We can never fully repay you for what you have done for us."

A blush crept across the redhead's face at the action and nodded, "B-But of course, it wasn't that much trouble. Come, let me show you around. You shall be my new land agent."

As he lead the happy couple inside, a voice screamed in his head over and over again. He wanted Sebastian Michaelis, and he had to have him.

No matter what it takes.

"Lucky Ciel…" he thought enviously to himself.

Madam Red was sitting at her desk, going through her mail on a hot summer day. She stopped upon a letter that was from her nephew, or as she sometimes considered to be her niece.

Her business partner Lau walked in at that moment, "What is that you're reading?"

"A letter from Grell." She said, her eyes still skimming through the elegant handwriting, "It says in the letter that he got married!"

"Married? To whom?"

She kept reading, "It's apparently someone who just started working at her company a few months ago. I don't recognize the name. He must not be a royal, or at least someone socially well-known."

"Who is it?"

"Michaelis. Sebastian Michaelis."

I know you must have some questions right now regarding Ciel's behavior being rather happy. Well that's going to change very soon. In this chapter, he's kind of like the way Ciel was as a child before the fire and his parents' death. Meeting Sebastian made him become happy again, in a sort of possessive way. His happiness will not last very long at all.

Hope you enjoyed it so far! Sorry if it seems to drag or is going to fast. If you think so, please let me know! I'm trying to get information across that needs to be mentioned without making it seem boring or uninteresting.

Love you guys! Bye! I've got a convention thats in 3 weeks I need to prepare for!
