''W-Whatt?! A-a neighbour?'' Ciel's jaw dropped. ''Him?''
''Yeah, why?'' Rachel asked, raising her brow.
Ciel gulped again. He glanced at Aunt Kate and Sebastian, to his mom, to Aunt Kate, and back to his mom. ''U-Um, nothing. It's good to hear.'' he smiled weakly. ''Ahm, i...i think i'll go to my room.'' he turned his back.
''Now Ciel, wait a minute.'' Rachel's voice stopped him. Ciel turned around. His eyes pleading. He doesn't like being here, with Sebastian's crimson eyes watching his every move.
''Sit here, Aunt Kate sure wants to talk to you, right, Katie?'' Rachel grinned to her friend, which answered with a nod.
Seeing that he can't fight his mom, Ciel shuffled over and sat down beside his mom, right in front of Sebastian.
He looked at the boy, and glared at him. Sebastian only blinked, but Ciel didn't miss the little twitch on the corner of his lips.
''Ciel. Look at you.'' Aunt Kate smiled widely at him. ''You have grown a lot.''
''Not his height.'' Rachel put her palm beside his mouth, acting like she was whispering, before giggling softly.
Ciel gave her a cold glare, lips unconciously forming a small pout, unaware of Sebastian's surprised gaze.
'Whoa.' Sebastian thought, as he felt heat rising up to his cheeks. 'That was...cute...'
''Stop teasing your adorable son, Rachel.'' Kate chuckled. ''Oh, anyway, do you know that Sebastian is transferred to Ciel's school?'' she said excitedly.
''Really, Ciel?''
Ciel nodded. ''He's in the same class with me.''
''That's great! How's Sebastian at school?'' Kate asked, with a smile on her lips.
Ciel looked at Aunt Kate, and smiled nervously. ''Umm...He's nice.''
''And?''
''Well, he made a lot of friends at school, and he's good at acting, too.''
''You're good at acting, Sebastian? Wow, i'm sure you're going to make a great actor with that handsome face of yours!'' Rachel smiled widely.
''Thank you, Aunt.'' Sebastian smiled.
That's the first time Sebastian has spoke since they arrived here (minus the mumbling!), and Ciel swore that he just got a goosebumps upon hearing that husky voice.
''And he's so polite, too.'' Rachel grinned.
''Thank you, Aunt.'' Sebastian said.
Rachel smiled. ''No need to be so formal, young man. Just call me Rachel.''
Sebastian glanced at his mom nervously. Kate grinned and gave him a look.
''Okay, umm...Aunt Rachel.''
''Rachel.''
''Ra-a-auntie...'' he said nervously. Geez, how hard it is to say someone's name?
''No, no. Just Rachel.''
Kate chuckled at the sight.
Minutes passed and the family had a great time. Until Ciel yawned slightly, already feeling sleepy.
''Ah, it's evening already. I have to prepare dinner.'' Rachel looked at the clock.
''You're right.'' Kate added. ''I'd better get going now. It's been half an hour since i'm here.'' she said and stood up. ''We'll talk later, kay?''
''You're not going to have dinner here?''
''No, thank you. I still have some stuffs to get arranged at home. Maybe later.'' Kate smiled, and took her purse.
Rachel smiled back. ''Alright.'' she stood up as well and hugged her friend. ''Be careful.''
''You too, Rachel. Take care.'' Kate said, and turned to look at Ciel.
''Oh, and Ciel, you may want to look at your bedroom after this.'' she smiled michievously and winked, before walked out. ''Bye!''
Rachel waved her hand by the door. ''Come again!''
''What did she mean by saying that?'' Ciel asked, turning to his mom.
Rachel just shrugged. ''You can check it by yourself...''
Ciel turned and ran to his room, but Rachel once more stopped him.
''...right after you help me wash this plates.'' Rachel pointed to the ditry plates that Kate and Sebastian used earlier.
Ciel's eyes widened at the sight, before let out a long, desperate sigh.
After all the plates are done, Ciel walked upstairs and laid down on his bed.
'Soo tired...'
''Oh?'' His eyes darted to the window and he looked outside. There is a window across him, but it's closed.
'It's Sebastian's house, isn't it? Whose room is it?' he narrowed his eyes, trying to peek behind those black curtains.
Got nothing to see, Ciel turned his body and looked at a wall clock beside him.
'06.00. Agh, it's such a long day, i might as well have some sleep before eating dinner...' he said to himself, laying on his bed.
Bad decision.
Because after his head touched the fluffy pillow under him, Ciel fell asleep.
Ciel sat up on his bed. A 'nature-call' has woken him up. He glanced at the wall clock beside him.
03.00 AM.
'Hmm...no wonder i'm still sleepy...' he thought.
The boy got off and shuffled to his bathroom, rubbing his sleepy eyes.
''Um?'' he looked beside him and noticed the window had been closed. His mom should've closed it that night he fell asleep.
Oh yeah, the new house beside him, is was made a couple of weeks ago. Before it was built, the land is empty, unoccupied, and the sunlight can went directly to his room. Now that there is a house on it, his room looks dark in the afternoon.
'That guy...always causing me trouble, everywhere, everytime.' Ciel scoffed and pouted.
He walked in the bathroom and closed the door.
It's 5.00 in the morning, and Ciel is still asleep. This time his mom won't be waking him up, because that treatment only goes for first day of new semester.
KRINNNGGG...
In return, he set an alarm to wake him up.
Ciel groaned.
He rolled over to the side and tossed the alarm off.
Ciel's small finger ruffled his hair, and he rubbed his eyes, before turning on the lamp.
'Mmmnn...' he walked sleepily to his bathroom, and flicked on the lamp.
The sound of water echoed from the bathroom. A small body stepped out, wrapped in a dark blue robe.
Ciel walked to the window, and opened it.
At the same time, the neighbour next door opened the window.
Surprised faces met.
Ciel's eyes widened.
It is Sebastian's room.
In a flash, Ciel slammed his window shut. Sebastian saw him in his bath robe!
Ciel sat down on his bed and ruffled his hair in frustation. Oh god, why did he feel uneasy all of a sudden? It's just Sebastian!
Right.
Sebastian is a boy, just like him.
No need to be panic.
It's not like a girl spotted him in his boxers.
It's fine for a boy to look at other boy's body, right?
Ciel took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
No need to panic, no need to panic...
''AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!'' A high-pitch scream echoed through the morning air.
Updated! :D
