"HOW COULD YOU BE SUCH AN IDIOT?" Claude yelled, walking into his and Sebastian's apartment with a basket of pink laundry. "I'm sorry, I dropped the sock in and I didn't notice. It's my bad." Sebastian said in an attempt to get forgiveness from his roommate and best friend. "WELL OFCORSE IT IS YOUR BAD, YOU'RE THE ONE WHO DID IT!" Claude yelled after slamming the basket on the coffee table on the middle of the living room. "That is what I just said, and could you keep your voice down the whole damn floor can hear you." Sebastian said closing the door behind him. "Fine, whatever. Just know you are never doing my laundry ever again." Claude said in a calmer tone. Sebastian watched as he picked up his clothing basket and walked away grumbling.

Claude and Sebastian had known each other since they were little kids. Claude's parents had moved in next door to Sebastian's family when the boys were six years old. Claude's family was from London, but when his father got a better job offer in Olympia; while Sebastian had lived in Washington his whole life. The two met through a hole in the fence and became best friends. After they graduated high school, they had both decided to go to Washington University, in Seattle. It wasn't too far from their home farther south but they wanted to get an apartment up there anyways.

Now the two were in their last year of college. They only took one class together, because of their majors differing so greatly. Claude was studying for his medical degree in psychology, while Sebastian was going for a law degree. The only class they had together was French.

Sebastian looked at his phone. It was Half past nine and he had a class at ten. He usually left by now, if he didn't leave now he would be late.

Ciel Phantomhive lived in Phoenix, Arizona as a child. It had always been dry and hot, so moving to Washington was a huge change. He wanted to be somewhere where it wasn't quite as dry and hot, so Seattle seemed like the best place to go.

Ciel was sitting in his advanced calculus class in his usual seat. The place was filling up fast as time was nearing for class to start. Every day for the past two months Ciel waited for the man that sat in front of him to get here; Ciel thought one day he would get up the courage to talk to him, or at least ask him his name. But today someone different was sitting in the seat of the raven haired mystery man. Ciel's eye searched the classroom, to try and find the tall man. Right when he was about to give up hope, he saw the man walk through the door. Ciel locked eyes with the deep scarlet ones, but as soon as it happened he looked away. The young man did not go unnoticed by the stranger, as he went to sit next to him. "Hey, I'm Sebastian." Sebastian said startling Ciel. "I….umm…..Hi" Ciel said fumbling with his papers while turning to the stranger now known to him as Sebastian. "And what would your name be?" Sebastian asked smiling at the young man. "Oh! My name is Ciel; it's nice to meet you." He said blushing a little. Sebastian noticed and let out a small chuckle. "Well it's nice to meet you too Ciel. I haven't seen you around here before, how long have you been going to school here?" Sebastian said propping is head up on his palm. "Um…. This is my last year here, but I'm only 20 because I skipped a grade and graduated early…." He muttered. "Well then I am in the presence of a genius." Ciel was about to say something when the professor walked in. "Well Ciel it looks like class is about to start, here's my number" Sebastian scribbled on a piece of paper and handed it the younger boy. Ciel took the paper and put it in his pocket.

Ciel tried to concentrate during class but everything just went in one ear and right out the other. Thoughts of why Sebastian gave him his number raced through his mind. 'Had he given it to him to be friends, to ask him out, or to be polite? Was Sebastian even gay? Probably not, he is way too attractive to not have women swarming around him. And even if he was gay why would he fall for someone like me?' Ciel was so consumed in his thoughts that he completely forgot about class till it was over. By the time he realized that class was over Sebastian, and half the class, had filed out of the room.

Ciel didn't have any more classes for the day so he decided to go home. When he got there the apartment was empty. His roommate Alois was probably hooking up with some random girl or guy, depending on what his preference for the day was. But either way Ciel would have some time to himself. He pulled out his phone and decided to text Sebastian.

Hi, it's Ciel. I'm not sure if you remember me but you sat next to me in calculus today.

As soon as Ciel sent the text his heart began to flutter, waiting for Sebastian to reply. Ciel couldn't believe how stupid he could be. Weren't you supposed to wait a certain amount of time before texting someone? Sebastian probably thought he was pathetic and desperate. Ciel's phone started to buzz, pulling Ciel out of his frantic thoughts.

Hey Ciel, how could I forget such a beautiful face?

Ciel blushed at the sight of the message.

I would hardly call myself beautiful…

Ciel never really thought he was that good looking. His mother and father always told him he was the most handsome boy in the world, but they are his parents they have to say that.

You underestimate yourself. How would you like to get drinks with me Friday night at 8?

Um sure, where at?

How about the Alibi Room?

Sure sounds nice I'll see you then.

What had Ciel just gotten himself into?
