Hey~ I'm back with a fun plot bunny after watching a movie
Disclaimers: I don't own the charcters, but well...I love them all anyway...heeehehe :)
ENJOY!
...and then REVIEW ;-)
After being forced on a date on one of his rare day offs by an effeminate redhead, William was now sitting at a table at a Chinese restaurant in the Chinatown part of London waiting for his date five minutes before arranged time, since he was early since he was strict when time was involved, but knowing Grell he was most likely going to take at least fifteen to thirty minutes late but either way it was unsightly to make a lady wait.
William sighed as the waiter hesitantly approached, "Good evening sir, would you like to order?"
With a slight bow William stated flatly "No, maybe later…but something to drink would be nice"
"Oh? Then would you like to try out our tea of the day?" the chinese waiter said with a smile
"hmm…tea…alright give me one then"
"Of course, one moment"
XOXOX
Meanwhile on the another side but same restaurant, Ciel was having a meeting with a Chinese investor that was interested in the Funtom company and wanted to franchise said business which sounded like a pretty good idea for expanding especially in the East part of the world, which was foreign territory to the Ciel
"So, Mr. Chaolan, do you agree with the terms we mentioned earlier?" Ciel spoke a direct to the point way.
"Excellent, it is definitely a win-win situation for both our companies, lets' start as soon as possible" Lee said in a fluent English with a chinese accent.
"Well then, Sebastian lets close this deal then hand Mr. Chaolan the contract we both agreed on"
"Yes my lord" the butler standing right beside Ciel, said curtly along with his characteristic bow, and with that the Earl and Mr. Chaolan began signing papers and continued on with their dessert right after.
XOXOX
"Sir I apologize for the wait, but here is your tea"
William was getting irritated as his date wasn't here yet and he was sitting here for almost an hour, and so with huff "It's quite alright my friend isn't here yet anyway". The waiter then poured tea to a the china and handed it to Will and placed the teapot on the table along with a saucer of mooncakes,
Sipping the black tea, "hmm~ the tea tastes good and what is this?" referring to the pastry
"it is mooncakes, it taste very good with tea, it contain red bean inside pastry" the waiter said with a heavy Chinese accent
Taking a bite off of the mini muffin sized cake, smiling "its good~ thank you"
"I am glad you like it sir"
"yes, I'll call on you once my friend arrives"
"of course, I'd be happy to serve, my name Chen", then with a bow the waiter left, and Will though it doesn't show much, happily ate the cake.
XOXOX
With the deal closed and a full stomach Ciel shook hands with the investor saying, "Its been a pleasure doing with business with you, the food was delicious"
"Likewise, I am glad you appreciated the food and oh~ I almost forgot" He then snapped his fingers and the waiter came in with a basket full of fortune cookies "cookie?"
Ciel shrugged but took one anyway, and cracking it open and read it, "Hold on to the past but eventually, let the times go and keep the memories into the present." He chuckled at the saying and placed it in his pocket.
"get one too, Mr. Micheles"
Sebastian slighty narrowed at the sound of his name being mispronounced "Its Michaelis, Mr. Chaolan"
"I am truly sorry, but still...cookie?"
Sebastian hesitated then Ciel said impatiently wanting to leave "just get one Sebastian so we can leave"
"Yes of course" he then took one but didn't read it but placed it in his pocket then stood up as well just as Ciel stood up to leave. then both left.
XOXOX
William's patience was wearing thin, an hour of waiting the redhead still hasn't arrived yet,
"I knew it, I just wasted my precious day off evening when I should have done something more relaxing", he stood up and was about to ask for the check when,
"Will~ I'm here~" Grell cheerfully walking in a red mid length long sleeve wrap dress, with matching heels, revealing his feminine like curves, with hair tied neatly into a bun, at first glance you would mistake him for a woman.
"What in world, took you so long?!" the ravenette nearly shouted in irritation, though looking at Grell a slight blush appeared on his face,
"I so sorry Will~ the dress I was planning to wear wa-" the boss held his palm up interrupting along with an icy glare "Save the excuses and lets eat as I am hungry waiting for you when I could have done something else"
Grell although inwardly turned on my the glance was slightly hurt but he knew that it was his fault for not coming on time which In turn resulted to a pissed off boss. Will raised his hand to call Chen,
Chen came immediately at the sign
"Yes sir, are you ready to order?" handing a menu to both Will and Grell
"Yes, uhm what would you recommend?" William inquired
"Sir, for our specialties, we have Chinese chicken salad it has shredded chicken over leafy greens, crispy noodles and sesame dressing. For soup we have Sweet corn and Egg drop soup, for main dish we have, Beef & Broccoli sliced beef and stir-fried with broccoli, and covered in a dark sauce made with soy sauce and oyster sauce and thickened with cornstarch. And our specialty fried rice"
"Grell what would you like?"
"All of it sounds lovely dear~"
"Uh-hmm~ well then we'll get the…uhm….all of each, a size that's fit for two…"
"Of course, drinks?"
"chilled lemon tea" Grell said cheerfully
"is that all?"
"yes"
"then….is twenty minutes alright for waiting? No worries it'll be served as soon as its ready"
"alright fine" Will sighed
While waiting boss remained silent as he glared at the redhead, As pleasant as the stares felt to Grell he sensed an unspoken anger toward him, as soon as he noticed this he immediately apologized, "I am really sorry William, I swear it won't happen again"
"Hmm…don't worry this wont be happening again after making me wait so long" the boss huffed still pissed
but surely enough, twenty minutes later the food arrived, and then both ate happily but in tense and awkward silence. Satisfied at the food, paid the bill and stood then waiter handed them a basket full of fortune cookies for them, "Thank you for coming, here cookie", no questions asked both took one.
Grell cracked his cookie open and read "The world may be your oyster, but that doesn't mean you'll get it's pearl." Then sighed since it didn't sound good and wasn't about love.
Will didn't feel like reading his cookie at the moment so he just pocketed his cookie.
XOXOX
Sebastian checked his pocket watch "10:45". Ciel was already asleep he could finally relax, he lied on the bed tired of the errands the little Earl was giving him all day and repairing whatever the other servants destroyed, then he remembered the cookie in his coat pocket so he stood up and got the little pastry and wondering what his message was, he lied back on his bed as he cracked open the cookie.
William rented a carriage and drove Grell back to his apartment like any gent would, bid their farewells and left to go his flat, once there he sighed contentedly knowing he finally could rest peacefully knowing he had work the day after next, he took off his coat and hung it to the wall then went to the bathroom for a quick bath before bed. Ten minutes after bath, he checked the clock with a yawn after slipping into his pajamas "oh, its already quarter till 11, I better g-", with a short flashback, he then recalls that he didn't open his fortune cookie, suddenly curious about his message, so he took the pastry from his coat, cracking it open
Incidently both of them read the message at the same time…
"A journey soon begins its prize reflected in another's eyes when what you see is what you lack then selfless love will change you back"
