Thank you all for who reviewed, favorited and followed my story~! I just want to make it clear that in some parts, Ciel may be OC because he's...well...somethings are better not said. ^_^'
Also there will be parts from Black Butler the Anime in here, but they are not really part of the story and it never happened in my story expect that Ciel did get kidnapped but he was never branded or rapped in my story, just letting you know.
I don't own Black Butler but if I did, you know that in the end of the first season it would end with a kiss. X3
Ciel Phantomhive, son of Vincent Phantomhive, heir to the Funton Co. , his stepfather and mother taking care of it till he became of age..was left utterly speechless by a CEO of another business.
He watched the tall, red wined eyed man walk up the slop, his bright blue eye following him.
'Just a Feeling.'
Ciel pursed his lips together as the man faded into the night. Ciel wondered silently if it had all been a hallucination, but the business card in his hand said otherwise.
He took his hat off, placing the card in the brim of it, noting to put the number in his cell phone when he had the chance after he got home before his mother sent a search party out. Ciel sighed to himself, touching the eyepatch gently.
'How long till it heals?' he wondered.
Ciel stuffed his hands in his pockets and headed the opposite way the slope was.
It'd take him about ten to fifteen minutes to get home, five minutes if he ran really fast.
He walked slowly in fact, not really wanting to get home to his over-bearing mother and his...odd stepfather.
His mind began wandering towards the dark haired man he met, Sebastian was it?
Ciel imagined him a bit different, hearing bits and pieces about the elder man from his stepfather when his mom and him were arguing.
Ciel sighed, letting his mind wander till he remembered when Sebastian has patted his head. His cheeks turned a dusted pink before he smacked himself mentally for thinking a such thing.
It was pretty dark but it was clear out with a beautiful crescent moon in the sky, guiding his path. The stars were out and twinkling like the heaven's were blessing the Phantomhive child. Heh, yeah right.
If anything, they were mocking him. He was shorter then his best friend who was the same age as him, and his hair was the same shade of blue as his father but he had his mother's eyes. He was small and thin, barely able to defend himself properly but handy with a gun and a pocketknife.
Sure, he was loaded but it wasn't like he was spoiled or heck, he just wasn't happy. Simple as that.
He was anything but happy. Kids who found out who he was scolded, and ignored him, adults often told him off for his lack of social when it really just was the other kids' fault. He pretty much only had two to three friends.
Alois Trancy, his best friend who was the same age but taller by three inches. He wore booty shorts often and mocked older men who stared him down. Alois was a bit of tease, enjoying his fights with other kids and Ciel. He laughed when someone who had irritated him in anyone get hurt and even caused some pain. But he and Ciel were closer then two peas in a pod despite the differences of the boys, they had each others' backs.
Alois was the heir to the Trancy Estate and Company. Right now his 'uncle' was watching over things till Alois was of age. Alois and Ciel had promised to merge their companies when they got older.
Elizabeth Midford, or 'Lizzie' was Ciel betrothed fiancé. She was a year younger then Ciel and was obsessed with anything girly but she was fun to hang out with on occasion. She loves to wear dresses and making everything girly but will wear pants and shorts when she should. Ciel and Lizzie played together a lot when they were younger but Ciel grew a bit distance from her after his dad died. She now has a hobby of trying to make the teen smile.
Ciel sighed, looking down at his tennis shoes, scowling childishly at them. It's not he didn't want friends, its just that people tended to stay away from him.
After crossing the large lawn to the back door of the manor, Ciel reached his home. The Phamtomhive Estate.
He unlocked the door and walked in, shutting the door behind and relocking it. He untied his shoes, picking them up and taking them with him as he walked through the kitchen towards the main part of the house.
He kept quiet not wanting to awaken anyone but not so much to act like he was sneaking in. He reached the main entrance where the double stairway was.
'Almost there...'
"Ciel Phantomhive!" a stern female voice shouted from the open front door.
'So close!'
His mother stood there in a creamy white night gown that reached her ankles, her feet covered with slippers and her light amber hair in a tight braid. Her hands were on hers hips and a irratted look was upon her usual kind face. Her blue eyes stared down Ciel's lonely one, the other hidden behind an eyepatch.
"It's nearly midnight, young man! Where have you been?!" His mother shouted, her voice hard and stern as she could muster. Ciel just stared at her with that single eye, starring his mother down.
"At the park." he finally answered. "It's not like it matters." he turned on his sock heel towards the stairs and began his climb.
"Ciel! Don't turn your back on your mother!" His mother cried out, clearly she had been worried sick for her only son.
'If You don't my back turned on you, why do you always turn your back on me?'
"I'm sorry, I fell asleep, okay? Good night." Ciel muttered.
"Ciel..."
Ciel ignored her. It's best he stay away from her anyway. He loved his mother and tried to live up to her expectations but whenever he was around, he'd see that sad look in her eyes because he looked similar to his father.
Ciel opened his bedroom, flipping the light on. He had ordered it to be a bit of a Victorian era like. He thought it looked great though.
He gave it a bit of in time era with a Tv with a Playstation and two beanbag chairs, one blue and the other purple. He had another one somewhere but he wasn't sure where it was. It was pink, though he wasn't much of a fan of the color.
Ciel flopped onto his bed, tossing his shoes to the side, taking his cellphone off his night stand and flipping it on. He bit his lip turning it to his contacts and taking the card from his hat.
'SM. Perfect. No one would expect who it really was.'
He added the cellphone number, putting the card back in his cap before putting the cap on his nightstand. He pulled his family ring of his thumb, then his gloves, then finally his eyepatch, grabbing the bottle of eye medication on the stand. His eye had a large scrape on it, his eye swollen and dull. He could see through it a bit but he had to wear the eyepatch till it healed.
He dropped a few drops into his eyes, flinching but managed to do it. He tossed his bag to floor, pulling his shorts off and heading to his dresser. He pulled off his shirt next, standing only in his blue and black plaid boxers and socks. He took out a white large shirt, pulling it on, it obviously too big for him.
He sighed, looking at himself in the mirror. A lonely looking boy stared back.
Ciel sighed again and headed into bed, his mind swimming with thoughts as he shut off the light. He rolled over, facing the window, his back to the door.
'Everyone has their own problems, My problem is I just don't give a single fuck.'
That line he's used so often when talking to the street boys when he's joking around with Alois. He remembered that feeling when Alois would laugh loudly whenever he would say that.
Alois hid his own depression but Alois knew Ciel knew about his depression. It wasn't obvious, only Ciel could see through the cocky attitude and the happy-go-lucky smile of the Trancy boy.
Inside was a monster who enjoyed people's pain and making sure he caused that pain. His friend had been broken and Ciel was sure it was that Uncle of his who did it. Alois smiled still but Ciel could see pain whenever he sat down but Alois always said he was fine.
'You're lying!'
' How would you know, Phatomhive?'
'You always have a smile on your face! Always! Why won't you tell me what's wrong with your uncle!?'
'Because I'm Afraid, Ciel.'
Afraid? Afraid of what? Ciel always asked himself that. Ciel and Alois would always have that little fight once a month. Once a month they'd leave each other for a week to just get away.
Even the best of friends need to get away from one another.
Ciel's mind drifted off to the man he met today.
'Sebastian Michaelis.'
The name echoed in his head. He wrapped his arms closer to himself. He might as well meet the elder man, seeing as the Trancy boy and him haven't made up yet.
Ciel sighed, letting a breath out. He let his mind shut down slowly as he fell asleep. Unfortunately, his dreams were only beginning to transform into not something beautiful or hideous but something in between.

Ciel was running, from someone he knew. Someone who's hurt his feelings but he couldn't see who. He was in a forest, surrounded by fog. He ran into the clearing, the middle of the forest.
"Ciel...Ciel..." a dark voice whispered. Ciel whirled around, looking at a crow, just standing in a bare tree. Suddenly all the trees were bare, making the forest bare.
"What do you want from me?!" Ciel yelled.
"Young master, who are you yelling at?" Suddenly the dream transformed into a study room, with Ciel sitting at a desk, holding a feather in his hand. A slice of strawberry cake was placed in front of him.
"Today's snack is a simple strawberry cake with whipped cream. To wash it down, I've prepared Early Grey tea, your favorite."
Before Ciel could see who had given him the cake, a cloth was wrapped tightly around his eyes and another around his lips. He screamed, feeling his body tortured and touched. The cloth around his eyes was ripped away.
He was held down by masked men, one carrying a smoking brand, red hot.
"Hold him down!" he said. He pressed it against Ciel's thigh, making the teen scream in pain.
The dream disappeared and so did the pain.
Ciel was walking in another forest but with no fog and it was clearly day time.
"Good bye." a voice whispered. Ciel looked up, seeing a silhouette of a tall dark man in the distance.
"N-No don't leave me!" Ciel wasn't sure why but he didn't want the man to leave him alone.
"I have to, I'm sorry. Good Bye Ciel."
"DON'T DO IT!" Ciel screamed, running after him

Ciel groaned as he woke up. He glared at the sun staring at him from his window. He forgot to close the curtains again before bed. He got out of his bed, taking off his sleep shirt and pulling on jeans and a blue shirt, grabbing his coat and pulling on his sneakers.
He put the eye medication on his eye, putting his eyepatch on, grabbing his bag and his cellphone, before racing out the door but ended up bumping into someone.
"Sorry, Mey-Rin!" Ciel said, helping the maid up.
"It's alright, master." Mey-Rin said. "You're up late. You're parents already are gone. "
"That's fine. I'm heading to town. I won't be back for lunch though so don't prepare anything for me." Ciel said, racing past the maid.
"Such a strange boy, but at least he's active." Mey-Rin commented.
Ciel raced out the door, across his lawn, towards the city. He had things to do, people to meet. He couldn't waste anytime.

Sebastian sighed, looking at the time. Today was his day off and he had slept till noon.
He sat up, glancing around. He sighed, grabbing his cellphone off the night stand to check any messages he could have gotten. Nothing. Thank the Lord.
Sebastian planned on a nice shower, a deilous lunch at his favorite café, then maybe going to a nice movie and might go to the Park to find stray cats. (yeah, the last one isn't creepy)
He got up, heading to his bathroom, not even bother shutting the door. He turned on the water and as he waited for it to heat up, he got out of his pj's [If you fangirls want to know, its just boxers ;3]
A little while later.
Sebastian was enjoying a nice walk in a white t-shirt and leather jacket with jeans. It was sunny out and it smelled very nice out and Sebastian was now in a good mood.
He managed to reach his favorite café and sat down on one of the outdoor tables, waiting for a waiter or waitress to give him a menu.
He smiled as a young waitress came out with a menu, handing it to him
"What would you like to drink, sir?" she asked, blushing at his smile.
"Hm...I think a Coke will suit me fine today." Sebastian said smoothly. She blushed and nodded, heading back into the café.
Sebastian heard a racket coming from the alley close by, but didn't react much. Soon it got louder, causing Sebastian to be annoyed.
Suddenly, a loud young yelp was heard from the alley, followed by a screech, then laughter. Sebastian stood up, heading to the alleyway, wondering what was going on.

Ciel sighed, sitting on a small box in front of a make shift desk of a card board box, playing a game of poker against an older kid who was obviously poor and was probably cheating. He often did this, gambling against the boys around here but never taking the prize money when he won.
He tossed a twenty on the stack of change and dollars in the middle of the cardboard box.
The boy glared at Ciel and gave his buddy a look.
"Full house." he said, putting his cards down, showing it, before leaning back, grinning cocky. "Beat that Phantom."
Ciel looked at the boy, putting his cards down to start a cigarette then flashing his cards.
"Royal flash, I win again Jake." Ciel said. He took a deep puff, before blowing the smoke to the side.
"Damn it!" Jake shouted, punching the box.
Ciel stood up, heading to the entrance way of the street, blowing a ring of smoke.
"Where the hell do you think you're going Phantom! Take the money you won!" Ciel sighed, stopped his walking and leaned against the brick wall.
"From what I heard, you've tried to earn enough money to play me for nearly two months, practicing nonstop. I do admit you were a better challenge this time, but I don't want the money." Ciel said.
"Damn it Phantom! Stop acting like you're all high and mighty just because you're the heir of the Funton Company!" Jake snarled, standing up.
"I don't want the money and I don't want a fight, Jake. " Ciel sighed.
"Phantom!" Jake grabbed Ciel's arm pulling him back over to the box. "Take the money you pussy!"
Ciel sighed again. "I don't want it." He got a smack for it. The smack was hard enough to put him on the ground. "Jake, I don't want the money or a fight! You need it more than I do anyway. " Ciel said. Jake's eyes glared down at Ciel before roaring and attacking the poor kid along with his friend.
"J-Jake!" Ciel shouted, punching Jake in the stomach to get him away from him. " Daniel, quit it damn it!"
"You're going to get it now, Phanthom and this time Trancy isn't going to help you." Jake laughed. He and Daniel began kicking and punching Ciel. Ciel bit his lip before he arched his back, kicking the two into trash cans. He crawled onto his feet, wincing realizing he had scrapped his knee and his lip was bleeding now.
"You're going to regret that, Phantom!" Daniel yelled, grabbing Ciel. He held him down while Jake began kicking him everywhere. Finally they yanked him up. Jake pulled his eyepatch off.
"So, that's the little secret of the Phantom. A hurt eye. Well now its going to hurt even more!" Jake reared his fist back and punched Ciel right in his hurt eye. First Ciel let out a yelp, feeling the contact but then screeched, the pain unbearable but he did not cry. He yanked Daniel off his arms and fell on his knees, holding his eye.
"Haha!" Jake and Daniel laughed, starting to kick Ciel again before the boy could fight back.
'They are just childish creatures, believing that their way is right. All of this is because I don't take the money I win and leave the money I put in, I'm just trying to be nice!'
Jake gave Ciel a good kick in the stomach, causing Ciel to react by coughing up blood.
"Oi, you damn kids!" A far away voice yelled.
Author's Note: Cutting it off here, not wanting to get ahead of this now are we? Okay, I'll explain a bit. Ciel didn't take the money from Jake and Daniel because he didn't want to seem like a spoiled snotty rich kid who takes money for granted. He wanted them to have it because he wanted to make friends but they took it the wrong way sadly. And this has actually happened to one of my friends one time. It shows that a lot of people are way to literal sometimes. :/
Please Review!
See ya later Alligator!
