Chapter 2

The group with ten students, one professor, and one assistant walked down the hallway and up the stairs, making their way towards the main hall as Professor Tanaka explained about the history of this campus.

It was quite boring for the students but they couldn't complain much about it. They would whisper to their friends about how boring it was and Sebastian had to shush them.

"Stop talking and listen to the professor." That was what Sebastian would say every time the younger students talked to their friends. Well, some of them obeyed him, so it wasn't that bad.

"Ah, here we are. The main hall." Tanaka announced with his raspy voice and opened the wooden door, revealing the large room with a big crystal chandelier hanging and a podium.

"This hall is used for big events such as the college's anniversary, concert and many more. We use this as a meeting room occasionally." Tanaka explained and stepped to the side so the young ones could see.

The students walked into the room, looking around the large-sized room while admiring how large it was, or probably how beautiful the crystal chandelier was. Well, it was—indeed beautiful.

While the other students were busy chit-chatting with their group of friends, one student kept silent as he peeked his head inside then stayed out of the room, keeping himself busy by fumbling with his clothes. This moment didn't go unnoticed by Sebastian since he was keeping an eye on the students.

The college student took a few steps closer to the lonely teenager and put a hand on his shoulder gently. "Hey, you're not joining your classmates?" He asked with a soft voice, hoping that he didn't scare the boy.

Ciel looked up at Sebastian and felt a very light blush came across his cheek for a split second before quickly avoided the taller male's gaze. Calm down, Ciel, calm down. "Nah, I'm fine by myself."

"Are you sure? I can keep you company if you-"

"It's fine. Don't worry." Ciel cut Sebastian off as he shrugged off the hand on his shoulder. He didn't need someone else to worry about him. He preferred being alone.

Sebastian let out a small sigh. All right.

The old professor lifted his sleeve a little, revealing a silver watch around his left wrist. Then he clapped his hands a few times to get the students' attention. "Okay, everyone, it's time to go to the next place."

The group was in the quiet library after a moment of walking and again, some of the students didn't enjoy their time in this quiet place. But for Ciel, this was heaven on earth.

Thousands of books were placed neatly in shelves and the library was completed with a sofa and some tables and chairs for college students who wished to read. A few college students were in the room as well, doing some research for their current projects.

Ciel went to an aisle where famous literature books were. He noticed a collection of Edgar Alan Poe's poems on the highest shelf and his face lightened up almost immediately. He really liked Edgar's poems.

He went tiptoed while his hand reaching up in an attempt to get the book. But, sadly, he was not tall enough to get his favorite book. The teenager frowned and tried again and again but to no avail. Then, he glanced around; making sure that no one was around him before he jumped.

Well, he got the book, but when he was about to land, his hand accidentally pulled out two other books next to the Edgar's poems collection book. The books fell onto his head then onto the floor, creating rather noisy sounds in the very quiet place.

A few seniors sent a glare to Ciel and shushed the poor boy. The librarian who was checking the new books that just came stood up and walked towards the sound source. She folded her arms against her chest and frowned.

"Put them back." She said with a small, yet stern voice.

"Yes. I'm-"

"I'll help him."

Ciel looked up at the person who cut his words off and raised his eyebrows in slight surprise. Sebastian? How did he find out?

The taller male wasted no time and knelt down to pick up the books then stood back up, putting the books back on the shelf with the right orders. Then he turned to face the librarian and apologized to her, for letting this happened.

"Just make sure that kid doesn't make noisy sounds again." She said before leaving the two.

Sebastian only replied with a brief nod and looked back at Ciel right after she left. The taller male noticed that Ciel was avoiding his gaze and decided to ignore it. Maybe he hates me for some reason, he thought to himself.

"I'll be at the desk if you need anything."

A brief nod was all that Sebastian got from the younger male then the black-haired man headed back to the reading desk and sat down there. They had plenty of time in the library before they go to the computer laboratory.

The college student continued to read the book he picked out earlier as the hours ticked by. But the silence didn't last for a long time when Ciel pulled out the chair next to him and sat down there, right next to him.

"How much time do we have left?" Ciel asked to with a small voice. But the fact that the younger male didn't even bother to look at the college student while talking made Sebastian frown the slightest and kept quiet.

"Hey."

No answer.

"Sebastian." Ciel called sternly as he clenched his fist, turning in his chair to face the person he was talking to. Forget about everything he thought earlier, this guy was a jerk.

"You're talking to me?"

"No, I'm talking to the book." He rolled his eyes while answering the question sarcastically. "Of course, idiot." The thirteen gave the real answer as he shot a piercing glare towards the other male.

"Well, you weren't looking at me when you first called," he shrugged and looked at the younger student. "What is it?"

"Never mind that. I don't feel like talking to you." Ciel waved Sebastian off. Besides, the question he was about to ask wasn't really important. Surely his classmates and Sebastian would let him know when their time in the library was up.

Sebastian couldn't help but chuckle soft as he went back reading. Anyone could tell just by looking at his face that he truly was amused by Ciel's reply. How adorable.

Forty minutes passed by in silence and it was almost time for group A to leave the library. Tanaka looked up at the clock while adjusting his monocle in order to be able to look more clearly. After he was sure about the time, he gently clapped his gloved hands to gain his group's attention.

"Alright, everyone. We have five minutes before we have to go to computer laboratory. Put the books back to its place then we shall be off." Tanaka announced with raspy voice.

About an hour and a half had passed and Tanaka's group had gone to the computer lab, biology lab, and the gym. The group would happen to pass by another group on their way to their destination and they would be noisy for a brief moment, saying 'hi', 'it's boring', and many more.

It was 12:15 PM at the moment and every group was heading to the cafeteria to get some lunch. A certain boy was sitting alone while trying to enjoy his lunch. At least the food is not greasy, Ciel quietly thought.

"Hey, loner~!" Alois cheerfully called when he saw the boy with eye patch sitting alone and walked over with a wicked smile tugged on the blonde's lips. He snatched the bottle of orange juice then poured it all over Ciel's food.

"There. For being so lame." Alois finally said then turned to leave. But as he was about to walk away, he felt a tight grip on his wrist and yanked him forcefully.

"Alois! You jerk!" Ciel spat as his grip tightened around Alois' wrist. He was beyond his limit and this fucking bastard kept bullying him over and over.

"AAH! HE'S HURTING ME!" Alois yelled out, his eyes welled up with tears with his expression showing great fear towards Ciel.

Other students only stared at them and began to whisper to their friends, talking about those two. Well, Sebastian was an exception. The black haired male was standing in the line to get his lunch when he saw the whole thing.

He quickly made his way over to those boys and forced Ciel to let Alois go. "Come on, you two! Acting like a bunch of kids is unacceptable." Sebastian told them off, looking down at Ciel and Alois.

The blonde managed to blurt out some apologetic words between his sobs and ran out of the cafeteria, ignoring all the stares that he received. Sebastian frowned and cursed Alois under his breath before letting out a small sigh.

The cafeteria became a rather noisy place again after a few moments. Students were talking about the study tour and chitchatting with their friends again. Everything was back to normal; just like nothing happened.

"Are you okay?" Sebastian asked softly to the younger male.

Ciel said nothing and just stared at his food. He didn't even know whether it was right to call this thing a food. Scrambled egg, some bacon and two garlic breads with orange juice all over it. How disgusting and he was really hungry.

Sebastian glanced at the food for a brief second then put a hand on Ciel's head in a friendly manner and smiled in an attempt to cheer him up. "Wait here. I'll get some lunch for us."

The teenager widened his visible navy blue eye and looked up to watch Sebastian walk towards the line to get some food. Us? Did he say 'us'? Does that mean we were going to…Eat lunch together?

Such simple thoughts in Ciel's mind made the thirteen-year-old boy's cheeks heated up, even just a little. Sebastian was kind, handsome, and he seemed smart—considering that he was the professor's assistant.

Ciel didn't know how much time he had spent thinking about Sebastian but as soon as he looked up, his disgusting food was replaced with a new one and the college student was sitting right in front of him.

"Here you go. Sorry for taking so long." Sebastian spoke and offered the other male his apologetic smile. He saw the teenager's face became slightly red and raised an eyebrow in confusion. "Are you really okay? Your face is red."

The younger male's cheeks flushed even more when Sebastian asked him and tried to calm himself down. It was really embarrassing. He was able to calm down and the blush on his cheeks slowly fading away.

"I'm fine. Don't worry." Ciel answered and picked up the spoon and fork before he began eating. He knew that he actually had to thank Sebastian, but no, he wouldn't do that. His pride was important to maintain.

Sebastian empty-mindedly drummed his fingers on the table while watching the eye-patched boy eating hungrily. "Come to think of it, I don't know your name."

"It's Ciel. Ciel Phantomhive." He answered right after he paused eating then took a bite of the garlic bread. It didn't take a long time for Ciel to finish eating his lunch. It was quite delicious.

"By the way," the taller male spoke as he straightened up in his seat, trying to get a comfortable position. "You seemed really excited when we went to the library. Do you like books?"

"Yeah, I do. Pride and Prejudice is my favorite." He shrugged and drank his cold orange juice.

"I like that book as well. We had an assignment to analysis the story and I had to read it. Turns out that I like it." Sebastian chuckled softly.

Ciel could feel a small tint of blush appeared on his pale cheeks when he heard the male in front of him chuckled. It was really nice to see him happy like this. His heart was hammering against his chest when Sebastian liked the same book as him. Was this a fate?

"I have a mini library in my apartment. You're welcome to come over if you'd like."

"What?"

Ciel blushed again as he realized what he had said. What was I thinking! We just met and I invited him to come over! The embarrassed teenager screamed in his mind. He resisted the urge to slap himself for being stupid.

"I-it's not-"

"I would love to come over some time later." Sebastian gave Ciel his sweet smile as he gladly accepted the offer. "Where is your apartment?"

The younger male didn't say anything. He just took out his notepad and pencil from his jeans pocket and wrote down his apartment's address, complete with the room number. The teen ripped the paper then handed it to Sebastian, still blushing slightly. "Bremerton Apartment, fifth floor, room number 506."

"Right, thanks. Can I come over tonight?" Sebastian took the paper and read it for a brief moment before folding it and put it inside his jeans pocket.

The male with eye patch quietly thought for a moment then shook his head. "Probably not. I have to make a report about today's tour tonight. What about tomorrow."

"I don't think I have classes tomorrow. Let's hope I'm not too busy." Sebastian said as he got up from the chair, giving Ciel a friendly smile. Lunchtime was almost up and they had to go to the auditorium.

Ciel made a small nod and stood up as well, avoiding Sebastian's gaze. To be honest, he was really excited for tomorrow to come. He just didn't show that he was excited.

This was a good start.

Okaay how was it? XD Sorry for those who expect Sebastian and Ciel to be in a relationship in this chapter, I don't want to rush them. Btw, the new chapter will be up in a few weeks because school's keeping me busy :( But I promise I won't abandon this fic~ Keep reviewing!
