A/N: It's been a while since I've written something new. I know I have Diamond in the Rough to write and I haven't updated that in two weeks but I've been busy and I had this fic idea for a while so I wanted to write it. Thus I present to you this fic that may possibly become a multi-chap, but it depends on what you guys think of it. And of course in most AU fics, there's gonna be some OOCness. Also Diamond in the Rough will be updated soon, so don't worry.
Edit: Made a mistake with the rating, this is meant to be rated T, sorry bout that.
"Damn it." Ciel muttered; his voice muffled through the airbag plastered on his face. For once he was grateful for having a seatbelt; if it wasn't there then he would've flown out of the window and slammed into the tree that his car collided into. There was a deer in the middle of the road and Ciel swerved the car, trying not to hit the stupid deer that couldn't get out of the way. In result, Ciel's brand new BMW slid off a hill and crashed into a tree, nearly costing the teenager his life.
Ciel kicked open the door and jumped out to see what the damage was. The accident caused a deep dent in the side of the car and a broken headlight. Ciel groaned, kicking the back tire before returning back to the driver's seat, attempting to see if the car still had life left. It didn't.
Repeatedly, the teenage tried to start the car, slamming the ignition and praying for it to turn on, but to no avail, nothing happened. The car however did emit a few faint grunts but afterwards it stopped.
Ciel banged a fist on the wheel, his agitation boiling as he muttered all curse words he knew in a distressed, hastened manner as he stomped out of the car. Not only were his parents going to kill him, they were going to skin him alive. He was supposed to return home after a trip to the library, but now he was stranded in the middle of nowhere underneath the cloak of nightfall.
The teen swiftly checked the sky for precaution, but there was no cloud in sight, just a few stars peeking their dim illuminist across the darkened sky. Ciel deserted his car as he blindly wandered through the woods, hoping to find shelter before it got too dark. He searched his pockets for his phone, deciding to call his parents to pick him up. He checked his iPhone and―to his great displeasure―it was running out of life.
Frantically switching to speed dial, Ciel called his house before his iPhone could take its final breath. The other end started to ring and Ciel waited impatiently for someone to answer, raying that someone would pick it up soon―
'Hello, you have reached the Phantomhive residence-' the message wasn't able to finish since Ciel clicked it off, remembering that his parents went out to dinner. So Ciel called his dad's cell, but before the phone could reach the other end, it turned off. Ciel stared vainly at the blank screen for a long, nerve-racking time with the urge to toss it into a tree, but Ciel composed himself and shoved the now useless device into his pocket.
He would've climbed up the hill, returning back to the road but he didn't want to be taken hostage by some creep in a van, which by Ciel's calculations will most likely happen. So not taking any chances, Ciel decided to take his own route back home through the woods.
Ciel began walking past the tall pine trees that enveloped the sky in a dark canopy, making it gloomier than it actually was. He walked for a while until he spotted a faint orange glow behind a grove of trees. Ciel went up ahead to see what it was. Ciel soon entered a small clearing where a campsite was set up, and that the light came from a bonfire. However, the last person that he wanted to see was tending the bonfire. Sebastian Michalis.
Despite being incredibly handsome, Sebastian was incredibly diabolical and enjoyed playing tricks on Ciel throughout the last three years of high school. Nonetheless, Sebastian was extremely popular amongst the girls―and some guys―but Ciel just thought he was horrible, which was why Ciel really hated standing where he was as the latter smiled pleasantly at him.
"What a surprise to see you here, Ciel." Sebastian exclaimed, lifting up a bag of marshmallows and waved it in the air. "I was just about to make smores, want to join?"
"No." Ciel replied bluntly, practically spitting the word out as he glared coldly at the older teen. He was not in the mood to deal with anymore shit and it certainly didn't help that he ran into Sebastian.
"But I heard you have a sweet tooth." Sebastian kept a genuine smile that Ciel just wanted to slap off. Sebastian picked out a marshmallow and stabbed it with a long, sharp stick. He placed the stick over the fire, allowing the flames to lick the marshmallow's squishy body as it gradually started to burn. Sebastian swirled his stick around and turned his attention back to Ciel, ignoring the teen's glare.
"So what brings you here on this nice, summer evening? Hiking? Camping? Just taking a stroll around?"
"I crashed my car." Ciel grumbled, breaking eye contact from Sebastian who was immediately intrigued with the story.
"How terrible, I wonder how much trouble you're going to be in from your parents."
"Shut up! There was a fucking deer in the way and it made me swerve off a hill."
"Course there was." Sebastian chuckled; he stuck a marshmallow on another stick and handed it out in Ciel's general direction. "You sure you don't want one?"
"No." Ciel repeated again, stressing the word strongly. He deepened his glare to show that he didn't want to deal with the teen at all, and would rather try to fix his car even if it took the whole night.
"Oh?" Sebastian pouted, tilting his head to the side. "So you don't want any marshmallows? How about some cookies?"
"I don't want anything from you. I'm leaving." Ciel retorted and turned his back on the teen and started to storm off. But once Ciel placed one foot out of the clearing, he was face to face with absolute darkness accompanied by the eerie howl of a wolf in the distance. Ciel stopped himself from going any further; either he was going to wander through the woods blindly in the upcoming cold or stay with Sebastian who had a nice cozy fire, food, and a tent.
"I also have sandwiches!" Sebastian called out, and just when he said that, the teen's stomach started to growl hungrily. "Shit."
Ciel slowly turned around, sighing in defeat as he dragged himself over to Sebastian. He reluctantly sat down across from the teen, moving himself into a cross-legged position as he stared hatefully at the latter, but Sebastian barely noticed. Sebastian dug into a bag next to him and pulled out a sandwich that was wrapped in aluminum foil. He humbly handed the sandwich over to Ciel along with some napkins, but Ciel still kept an intimidating glare trained on him.
Instead of saying thank you, or anything at all, Ciel unwrapped the sandwich and took a huge bite out of it, and it didn't take long for him to eat all of it.
"My, my, you were quite hungry. Imagine what would happen if you didn't stumble by here. You probably would've starved to death." Sebastian joked.
"Shut up." Ciel muttered.
"Is that all you can say? Shut up and no?" Sebastian inquired, pursing his lips slightly in a disappointed manner. "I know that we never had much of a good relation back in the past but things have changed."
"Like what?" Ciel hissed. "You've humiliated me throughout high school so how the fuck will I forgive you?"
"Well I saved you from starving to death," Sebastian mentioned, scooting closer to Ciel at each word and then wrapped an arm around the teen. "As well as providing you warmth from the cold night."
"Get off!" Ciel shoved Sebastian's arm off of him and shot up to his feet. "I'm seriously going to leave if you keep acting like that!"
"Fine," Sebastian sighed, returning back to his spot. "Lets talk then."
Ciel plopped back down, crossing his legs and arms and refusing to say anything while Sebastian talked.
"As I said before, we haven't really been in good relations with each other, but perhaps I can make it up to you." Sebastian remarked, but Ciel didn't buy it and just grimaced at him.
"Sure." Ciel rolled his eyes, not believing this guy, especially with all the crap he went through in the past three years of high school because of Sebastian and his friends. And in a couple of days they were going to be seniors and Ciel was definitely not looking forward to it.
"I'm serious." Sebastian said, trying to sound sympathetic but Ciel turned away and looked out at a random direction, it was better than looking at the teen. When Ciel didn't say anything, leaving a trail of awkward silence to drag on for several minutes―Sebastian got up and headed to his tent, sorting things out before poking his head out.
"There's enough room in here for the two of us."
Ciel's face immediately scrunched up in disgust as he bellowed. "Are you implying we should sleep together? You're out of your fucking mind!"
"Would you rather sleep out here in the cold then?" Sebastian inquired.
"It's not even that cold out, besides there's a fire right here." Ciel remarked.
"That fire will eventually burn out, though." Sebastian pointed out.
"I'll make another one!"
"Do you know how?"
"Of course I do!" Ciel barked, but Sebastian just scoffed and went back inside his tent.
"Good luck with that then." Sebastian called out encouragingly, but Ciel merely took it as an insult, like the teen was mocking him. Ciel grumbled something incoherently as he stayed at his spot, not moving at all as he stared at the sizzling flames in aggravation.
The crackling fire was the only sound in the air; Sebastian had stopped bugging him and probably went to sleep while Ciel just huffed inaudibly every so often and stared around.
The night got much colder and the fire was dwindling in size. Ciel tossed a couple of sticks into the flames but it didn't do much. So Ciel tried to ignore the cold as he settled down on the grass, curling himself in a ball and tried to fall asleep. He huddled his arms around himself, sustaining as much body heat as he could against the cold air and chilly winds passing by.
Ciel groaned when he found that the only solution was the tent, which was where Sebastian was sleeping. Ciel let out a long, exasperating breath as he dragged his feet over to the tent.
When Ciel entered the tent, he saw Sebastian asleep underneath a blanket with his head resting comfortably on a pillow. Besides the sleeping teen and some of his belongings in bags, the tent was pretty spacious but not much to move around a lot, but it could at least fit two people. So Ciel crawled in and pulled a large majority of the blanket over him while staying at a good distance away from Sebastian.
However, Sebastian woke up from the sudden coldness and didn't like how Ciel was hogging the entire blanket. So the teen pulled Ciel over before he could move away and locked him in a firm embrace.
"What the hell are you doing?" Ciel muttered.
"I could ask the same to you since you wanted to sleep outside." Sebastian countered calmly with a smirk.
"It got cold."
"So you couldn't make a fire after all."
"Shut up, now let go of me." Ciel demanded.
"Nope." Sebastian simply said with a light chuckle while Ciel squirmed weakly within him, but he was too tired to muster that much strength. "Plus don't you feel warm now that we're sharing our body heat as we're wrapped in a cozy blanket?"
Sebastian did make a valid point since Ciel did feel warmth, and, somewhat comfortable to say the least, but Ciel just scoffed and muttered under his breath: "Don't do anything perverted while I'm asleep."
"Don't worry, I won't." Sebastian assured, but Ciel didn't believe him and just hoped that when he woke up the next morning, he'd still be a virgin.
x~x~x~x~x
When Ciel did wake up the next morning, he found that his clothes were still intact and that he didn't experience any form of violation to his small body while sleeping with another man, which was great. What was also great, was that Ciel was alone in the tent and didn't have to deal with waking up to find that pervert lying next to him.
After rubbing his eyes and stretching his arms, Ciel went outside to find Sebastian cooking breakfast over a new fire. He stirred the frying pan around the fire and flipped the eggs over a few times. He then noticed Ciel and smiled at him slightly.
"Good morning, did you sleep well last night?"
"Alright I guess . . ." Ciel shrugged. "Although, did you really have to sleep so close to me? I could have sworn you were going to take advantage of me or something."
"Now, why would I do that?" Sebastian inquired, feeling a bit hurt. "I just found it necessary for us to share our body heat and the blanket to fight off the cold, nothing else."
Ciel frowned regardless of Sebastian's words. He sat down and watched impassively as the latter continued cooking. Sebastian scooped one half of the eggs on a plate and handed it to Ciel along with a fork. When the teen served himself, he sat down next to Ciel but he scooted away.
"Awhile ago I checked to see where your car was and called up someone to pick it up. So a tow truck should come by soon to take your car to a repair shop." Sebastian explained.
"Really?" Ciel asked, raising an eyebrow in suspicion. "You sure you didn't throw any extra eggs on it like you did to my old car last year?"
"I don't recall throwing eggs on your car, it was probably Claude's or Alois' doing." Sebastian shrugged indifferently, but Ciel didn't believe him.
"If you caused anymore damage to my car, I swear I will file a restraining order against you." Ciel threatened.
Now it was Sebastian's turn to frown, but he was more passive and composed as he argued back calmly, keeping his tone steady and quiet. "I was going to give you a ride back home, but it looks like you can just walk back."
"Walking home will be fine with me." Ciel exchanged a similar frown, getting back up on his feet and turning his back on Sebastian. He left the plate of eggs on the ground as he swiftly stomped off before hearing anymore out of the teen.
Ciel knew he was probably lying; Sebastian most likely sent Ciel's car to a junkyard where it would be crushed to a million pieces. Ciel made a note to ask his father―who was a well-known lawyer―how to file a restraining order. But Ciel needed to get home first. Problem was . . .Ciel soon found himself lost in the massive woods.
Ciel stared vacantly at the trees, not knowing where he was going and how to get out of there. His cellphone was dead, his car was gone, and he just ran off from the only person around in the area, but there was no way that Ciel was going to go back there. But it didn't mean that he left Sebastian entirely.
A black Lexus swerved around the trees, driving close by to Ciel who grimaced to see that Sebastian was driving it. Sebastian rolled down his window and called out.
"Do you know where you're going?"
"Of course I know!" Ciel exclaimed and quickened his pace, walking in a different direction, trying to lose track of the teen.
"Oh, really? So then, where are we?"
"In a forest . . .near a neighborhood."
Sebastian heaved out a sigh, having the last straw with the other. Before Ciel could go any further, Sebastian blocked the car right in front of the teen.
"Get in the car." Sebastian ordered.
"No."
"You're just going to get even more lost."
"I know where I'm going."
"I live in the same neighborhood as you and you are not heading in the right direction."
Ciel took a second to think, and then it hit him. Sebastian did live in the same neighborhood as him; actually, they lived right across from each other. So Sebastian knew that Ciel really was lost and that there was no way out of this.
Knowing that he had won from the awkward silence from Ciel, Sebastian opened up the passenger seat for the teen to get in. Ciel reluctantly stepped into the car and slammed the door shut, followed by his head, which banged against the window.
"I hate you . . ." Ciel muttered.
Sebastian ignored the comment as he started the car and drove out of the woods. The two were quiet for the entire ride. Ciel stared out of the window, anticipating each passing minute to get out while Sebastian focused on his driving.
Their neighborhood was out in the countryside, consisting of luxury houses that were scattered around on rolling hills. Sebastian pulled into the long, cobblestone driveway of Ciel's house and parked.
When Ciel opened the door, he was quickly caught in the embrace of his mother, Rachel, who was practically in tears as she hugged her son.
"Where were you, Ciel? Your father and I were so worried about you!" Rachel exclaimed, not wanting to let Ciel go but the teen could barely breathe.
"I―I was . . ." Ciel started, but Sebastian cut him off as he got out of the car as well.
"Ciel was in a car accident, but I was there to help." Sebastian replied rather cockily, receiving a glare from Ciel. "I'm Sebastian by the way, I live just across the street and am one of Ciel's classmates, so we know each other pretty well."
"In a bad way." Ciel hissed.
"So I was happy to help Ciel out, and we camped out in the woods and I provided him with food and shelter for the night." Sebastian continued, ignoring Ciel's comment with a slight shift of the eyes.
"That's very generous of you," Rachel smiled slightly but it changed quickly as she frowned at Ciel. "But what about the car, and why didn't you call me?"
"My phone died, " Ciel mumbled. "And apparently Sebastian called a tow truck to pick up my car . . . right?" The teen took a suspicious sideways glance at Sebastian who nodded.
"Yes, anything to help a fellow classmate." Sebastian smiled widely, while Ciel just wanted to smack him in the face. "Now I best be going, goodbye." Sebastian waved and went back to his car, driving off.
Rachel turned Ciel to face her and frowned deeply. "You're in so much trouble, but you're lucky that one of your classmates was able to help you like that, what would have happened if he wasn't there? You would just be stranded in the woods until someone kidnapped you! When you see that kind and generous boy again, you better thank him somehow."
"But, mom-"
"Don't make me take away your iPhone and ground you." Rachel threatened, making Ciel gulp. "If you don't want that to happen, then you should treat Sebastian to dinner sometime."
Ciel groaned and felt like slapping himself; he couldn't believe he got trapped in this situation.
A/N: So should this stay as a oneshot or become a multi-chap? Reviews would be awesome and if I get a lot than I'll continue this~
