CHAPTER 2


It was nearly two in the morning before Alois finally decided to call it a night and that was only because Claude decided to go to bed so Alois followed him into the elevator so they could ride up together.

"So, it's been awhile huh?" Alois said smiling.

Claude looked down at him for a single moment before he grabbed his chin tilting his head up and he leaned down kissing him softly on the lips. Blushing Alois pulled away, "Claude, we agreed we wouldn't do this sort of thing until I'm eighteen remember?"

"It's been two years since I last saw you, you really expected me to not sneak in at least one," he said turning to face the doorway as the elevator came to a stop. "You don't really appear to have missed me at all…"

Alois looked annoyed at this comment and he hit the emergency stop button on the elevator before he spun around and hugged him wrapping his arms around Claude's torso and pressing the side of his face against his chest. "Of course I did, I thought about you a lot. Though, this is a secret right? So I couldn't very well just run up and kiss you in there could I?"

"I suppose not," Claude said wrapping his arms around Alois in return.

"I really did miss you," Alois said standing on his toes so he could place a single kiss on Claude's cheek.

He turned undoing the emergency stop and the elevator doors slid open. He was just about to step off when Claude suddenly grabbed his arm pulling him back in the corner he pushed him against the wall kissing him fervently which didn't even begin to show the torture he'd gone through in their time apart. After finally prying his lips away, Alois started in on his protests even as Claude placed a few enticing kisses on his neck.

"Claude, settle down, I don't need you getting in trouble because of me," Alois said sternly in a rather authoritative tone. It was a similar tone he would use with Luka when he was getting out of hand.

Claude rested his forehead on Alois' shoulder sighing, "You're right…"

"Of course I am," Alois said softly pushing him back. "I'm sorry, I know how unfair it is asking you to wait until I'm old enough, but… I just couldn't forgive myself if anything happened to you on my account alone. You know if you ever got caught with me it wouldn't matter if I explained it was consensual because my age would automatically put it in the class of statutory—"

"I know already," Claude said folding his arms.

"I'm sorry," Alois said again with a halfhearted smile. "I really do love you though."

Claude stared at his smile. Alois really was something else...

"So, it's been awhile huh?"

Claude blinked. "What?"

Alois looked at him, "I said it's been awhile huh?"

"Oh yea," Claude said shrugging. He had been daydreaming again. Damn it, why couldn't he keep these thoughts out of his head!

"Do you want to do it?"

Claude felt his heart stop and he turned to him, "What?"

"The movie, do you want to do it? I can't really get a good grasp of the plot from just the script of the first episode I wish they would have given us a plot summary. Though, they probably will tomorrow at breakfast," Alois said removing the scrip from his pocket he scanned the first page over again as the elevator doors opened.

He stepped out in the hallway, Claude walked to his room. He didn't want to stay with Alois alone for too long. He didn't really trust himself after the kinds of thoughts he had been having. Alois continued to speak as he followed Claude to his room, "I guess I'll have to decide better tomorrow, you go and get a good night's sleep Claude."

"You too," he said in a monotone before scanning his card and opening it. "You're going straight to bed right?"

He nodded pushing back a few strands of his blonde hair so it was out of his eyes, "Yeah, after I check on Luka I'll hit it too. See you at breakfast tomorrow."

Alois was too adorable, he wanted so much to just drag him into his room right then, but that would only cause problems; with that Claude shut the door. Either way, he was at least very happy to see him once again.


Ciel went down to breakfast sitting with Alois and Elizabeth feeling tired. He hadn't slept much since he spent much of the night thinking about Sebastian. Why couldn't he get that man out of his damn head for just two minutes…

"Are you alright Ciel?" Elizabeth asked noticing how tired he looked.

"Unn," he nodded dully before noticing Sebastian walk by the table. Alois couldn't help but catch the quick glance Ciel shot in his direction before looking away rather quickly. Smiling Alois put his hands behind his head, "It's not going to work you know."

"Excuse me?" Ciel snapped looking up in his direction.

"You and Sebastian. First you're too young, and second you both have Seme personalities, and it never works when that is the case."

"Semi?" Elizabeth repeated blinking. "What do you mean semi, like, he only has a little—"

"Never mind Lizzy, what would you like Alois and I will fix you a plate," Ciel said getting to his feet.

"Oh," she said smiling as she named a few foods of interest. After Ciel grabbed Alois dragging him up to the buffet area.

"Could you not say things like that in front of Elizabeth," Ciel snapped.

"Well it's true. You look like a good uke but your personality is a seme, that's Sebastian's personality too, so honestly, I don't see how—"

"Ugh, you're annoying," Ciel snapped before grabbing a plate.

"Well, you feel that way about Sebastian don't you?"

Ciel turned immediately trying to hide the flush of color that rushed to his face at the mention of Sebastian's name. "Oh my God, you're serious! I was just teasing you, but you actually think that about him!"

"Shut up!" Ciel snapped. He was being way too loud, someone was going to overhear.

"Alright answer me this, if you two were to sleep together who do you imagine on top?"

Ciel didn't feel like answering this he started to fix Elizabeth's plate completely ignoring him. If there was one thing Alois really hated it was being ignored.

"I knew it," Alois grinned. "You have to understand you'd be on bottom because with yaoi couples there is a bit of a height restriction when it comes to these sorts of things. The smaller of the two is always on bottom."

"Would you stop," Ciel snapped. "This really isn't the place to be discussing this."

"I'm just trying to help," Alois said grinning.

"I don't see how height has anything to—" Ciel began only to be interrupted.

"Think of it as an amusement park ride." He put his hand in the air above him, "You must be this tall or taller to ride Sebastian."

"Will you keep your voice down!" Ciel snapped glaring.

"I'm just being honest and—. Oh hey, Oshiro-san is here."

Alois hurried back to their table and Ciel followed handing Elizabeth her plate.

The man had his hair slicked back and was dressed in a business suit. He walked up to the front of the room. "I hope you're all enjoying your breakfast. I'm having my associates pass out plot summaries to you all, I'll give you all thirty minutes to read and discuss the idea. Then I would like to take a poll to see which of you would be interested in acting in this."

Ciel took the pamphlet handed to him and read through the contents quickly.

"I'll do it," Alois said looking up from the pamphlet. "So long as they don't kill me off again."

"It doesn't even mention my character in the overview description, and I'm not in the first episode," Lizzy said sighing.

"Well you weren't in the first episode of the other series either," Alois pointed out.

"I know," she said sighing. "Are you going to do it Ciel?"

Ciel folded his arms. In truth, no. He didn't want to. The plot sounded ridiculous. As if it were just an overload of fan service and filler combined to be its own series. Though, if he said no, production would stop on the film, everyone would go home. Sebastian would return to wherever he lived and Ciel would go back to hopping around from one tourist attraction to another in wake of his parents who would go off and do their own thing. Thus he would spend a lot of time going places on his own and staying by himself in lonely upscale hotel rooms.

If he said yes, and they started filming this new series Ciel would see Sebastian almost every day until filming concluded. They would go to parties and attend events all the while. He didn't have any delusions of course. Ciel was not expecting Sebastian to fall head over heels for him or anything. Though if he could kiss him (the peck in the elevator didn't count), just once maybe he would finally stop thinking about him every damn second of the day, they kiss at the end of the first episode according to the script. After that he would surely be able to move on and stop thinking about him!

Either way you look at it, the latter was the best option...

"I guess I will."

"Oh good!" Elizabeth said happily. "I'll be looking forward to filming!"

"Elizabeth, don't you have that other film you're doing?" Ciel asked remembering she had mentioned something about it.

"Oh yea, I'm sure I can do both. I'll just have to keep an eye and schedule things accordingly. It'll all work out," she said grinning. She really couldn't wait to work with Ciel once again. Meanwhile across the room Sebastian, Claude, Hannah and Luka were seated at their own table. Luka (who really idolized Hannah) had chosen to sit with her.

"Well, it'll be hilarious watching Ciel in a casting like this," Sebastian said after setting the pamphlet down.

"Hannah, we'll see each other a lot won't we?" Luka asked happily.

"It seems so little one," she answered taking a drink of water before cutting a piece of her pancake. She held it out at the end of the fork to Luka who opened his mouth accepting it happily. Pancakes were the best. Claude couldn't help but glance over towards Alois, though his back was to him, so he couldn't catch a glance from him. Damn, he almost felt like suggesting a move to another table.

"Ugh goodness me," came a voice from the entrance. Angie had walked in with Eustis (whom had been known as Undertaker on the show).

Angie wore a dark green business suit and pearls, her deep red hair clashing horribly with the outfit making her look like a horrid walking Christmas ornament. She looked beat and somewhat furious. Eustis on the other hand seemed quite cheerful. Despite his costume on the show making him look creepy and somewhat silly at times, Undertaker in real life was actually quite a handsome man with short light bluish hair, almost grey though he wasn't old. His eyes... Well God, there were no words that could describe those eyes. His face smooth as porcelain. The scar he bore on the show was the work of a makeup artist. Much like Grell's entire face…

"Hi," Elizabeth said spinning around in her chair. "You guys are a bit late."

"Don't even get me started!" Angie suddenly snapped making Elizabeth flinch. "I had three layovers and had even had to resort to a bus to get here because my purse was stolen in Venice."

"Oh…sorry," Elizabeth said meekly before slumping in her chair.

Alois turned to the Undertaker, "What's your excuse Undertaker? Was your purse stolen as well?"

"Oh no, I just happened to look at my calendar last night," he said nonchalantly. "Oh my, do I smell ham?"

He suddenly wandered over to the buffet table.

"Now where is that idiot Gell, we were supposed to arrive together, and then that jerk bailed on my last minutes so I ended up having the trip from hell!"

Alois laughed, "He is probably still sleeping, he did have quite a bit to drink last night."

"Ugh, we'll see about that!" she snapped spinning around she headed back out into the lobby.

"Oh man, these guys crack me up," Alois said grinning. "Man, they could seriously make some money just by putting us all in the same house and calling it one of them reality tv skits."

"That I wouldn't do. I don't like the whole big brother idea…" Ciel's attention concentrated on the straw in his glass which he was using to swish the ice cubes around. Too many thoughts were in his head to concentrate on any one in particular.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like now to take a vote from the cast. Some of you don't seem to be here yet, but I can get their votes later. So… all in favor of filming raise your hand," Oshuro called to the room at large.

Every head seemed to turn in Ciel's direction. He blinked. After all, he was the main character. Ciel sighed. "Jeez," he sighed raising his hand in the air. The hands of the other cast members followed suit shortly after.

"Wonderful!" Oshuro said grinning quite widely. "Well, to promote the new series we have decided to hold a contest. Fans will submit an essay to the company about their favorite Kuroshitsuji cast member and why. The best will be chosen and the fan will get to spend the day with their favorite character! Doesn't that sound like wonderful publicity?"

"Hey Lizzy," Alois said turning to her. "You better call your Mom and tell her to submit an essay so you won't feel bad when no one wants to spend the day with you."

"That's mean! There are a lot of people who would like to spend the day with me," Elizabeth said frowning.

"Of course there are," Ciel said reassuringly because she really did look upset by it.

"And you," he threw his straw wrapper at Alois hitting him in the forehead. "Stop teasing her."

"We'll send the info for the contest out soon today, and by the end of the week we'll choose a winner. Needless to say cast members nor their families are allowed to submit essays."

Luka suddenly looked a tad upset. "I wanted to spend the day with Hannah," he said frowning slightly.

"Nonsense," she said patting him on the head. "You don't need to win a contest to spend a day with me. All you have to do is ask your brother if it's okay and we can spend any day you want together."

"I want to go to the amusement park!" Luka said happily. "Claude you come too!"

Claude blinked, "Me?"

"Yes, it'll be fun. All the Transy house can come!" Luka said happily.

"Fine, exclude me then," Sebastian teased. He didn't honestly care about go, but it would be fun to see him get nervous and hurriedly invite him.

"Nope!" Luka said cheerfully. "You're not invited!"

"Well that's rude," Sebastian leaned back. Truly, Ciel was the only kid here who was fun to tease.

"For our younger cast members you'll need to get your parents' permission to participate in the contest, and we really want everyone to participate so please get their permission for the contest as well as filming soon. Now, please enjoy the rest of your breakfasts," cheerfully Oshuro hurried off to the table with his other associates to discuss business.

Ciel didn't really want to do this. Spending twenty four hours with some crazy fan girl was not his idea of a good time, and… His mind suddenly realized. Sebastian would be spending the day with some crazy fan girl as well. Who knows what she might do with him.

He suddenly had a mental picture of Sebastian with a young girl on a Ferris wheel sitting close appeared in his mind.

She turned to him. Her waist was small, her breasts large. Her eyes narrowed seductively.

"Oh Sebastian this is so much fun!"

"Indeed it is Katherine," Sebastian said shooting one of his classic smiles her direction.

"Uh-uh," she said. "According to the contract you must refer to me like you would have Ciel in the show."

"But of course," Sebastian said kneeling down he took her hand kissing it softly before whispering, "My Lady."

"Oh Sebastian, isn't being here with a woman so much better than being with that little brat Ciel?"

Sebastian sat beside her pushing aside a few strands of hair from her eyes. "Indeed. How could Ciel ever compare to a beautiful woman like you?"

She chuckled softly, "He can't obviously."

"Men are meant to be with women after all, and I have yet to see a woman quite as fine as you. There is no other way around it," Sebastian said tightening his fist.

She looked up at him with concern touching his gloved hand softly. "Sebastian darling?"

"We will have to do it. Katherine, will you marry me?" he asked clutching her hand.

"Of course I will, nothing would make me happier!" she said blushing and Sebastian slipped the Phantomhive Family ring on her finger. "My it's just like in the show."

"Of course, because you are my mistress now," with that the two leaned in, closer and closer until they kissed...

Ciel shook his head breaking out of his daydream. Hell no! Hell no! This was not happening! Sebastian was not going to spend the day with some strange girl with large breasts and curves that would put Ran Mao to shame! He looked over at Sebastian who was sitting at the far off table clearly not worried about this at all. He's only going to use this as another opportunity to make fun of me. He'll come back talking about what a wonderful time he had, and how he had the kind of fun you can only have with a woman. God he hated the thought of it…

"I wonder who we'll get," Hannah said offhandedly as breakfast was coming to a close. "With my luck I'll get some horny high school creeper."

"Well I don't think there is an age limit," Claude said teasing her. "Who knows you could get so horny old folk home geezer."

"Ugh, don't joke about that!" Hannah said shivering.

Sebastian hadn't thought of that. What if Ciel got stuck with a so called, creeper. His mind too began wandering…

Ciel sat in the back of a limo a man in thirties sitting beside him as they headed down the highway to their next event.

"Where would you like to go next?" Ciel asked him in an uncaring tone.

"How about we head to a nice hotel room?"

Ciel's face flushed. "I… I don't think that's in the contest's contract," he said shyly turning away.

The man reached out grabbing Ciel's chin forcing him to face him. "Come now young Earl. Just think of me as your faithful butler. I am only here to fulfill your desires."

He pulled Ciel down in the seat climbing on top of him as he leaned down kissing him. Ciel pulled away. "No stop, I'm only fifteen I can't—"

He forced another kiss on him before pulling back, "Now now, I am just one hell of a lover after all. You won't even know Sebastian's name by the time we're done."

He leaned down undoing Ciel's tie and working at a hickey on his neck. "No… wait… ngh!" Ciel's face flushed furiously as he gasped at the feeling.

Sebastian was suddenly in pissed off mode. It was almost like his side of the table was filled with a heavy smog of an "I want to kill you attitude."

"Jeez, what's you're problem," Hannah snapped though Sebastian was too angry to pay attention to her. Hell no! Hell no! That was not going to happen. No way! I'm the only one allowed to tease Ciel like that, he thought furiously.


With their little get together concluded they were all making arrangements to stay in the area. Ciel called his parents letting them know his decision, and that he would be getting a temporary place near the set. Alois who overheard his conversation rushed over grabbing the phone from his hand.

"Is this Ciel's Father?" he asked. "Oh his Mother. Hello Ciel's Mommy this is Alois, do you remember me?" he asked. Ciel meanwhile was attempting to get the phone from him but failing to do so as Alois was taller and quicker. "Yea, Ciel and I are going to get a place together so you won't have to worry about him."

"Who says?" Ciel snapped.

"Uh-huh, alright you take care," Alois grinned before closing Ciel's phone and handing it back to him. "C'mon you know it will be much more fun if we live together. Plus I have a car."

He said the final sentence as though it settled the matter. "That reminds me Claude still has my permit…"

Annoyed Ciel turned to him, "I like my privacy I don't want to live with you!"

"Aw, the lovebirds making plans for their love nest," came Sebastian's voice from behind Ciel. Ciel felt his heart skip a beat as it usually did when Sebastian showed up out of the blue like this. Alois' eyes narrowed. He had known for some time the way Ciel felt about Sebastian. It was very obvious, and with Sebastian's constant teasing and ridicule which at times was borderline cruel… Yeah, he knew exactly what was going on... He grinned. Maybe it was time Sebastian got a taste of his own medicine…

"Oh of course," Alois said walking over wrapping an arm around Ciel's shoulders. "We don't need anything too extreme. A single room with a large bed and a mirror on the ceiling would do nicely."

"What are you talking about?" Ciel snapped. "Get your arm off me."

The tiniest flicker of annoyance shot across Sebastian's eyes as he stared down at them, "Surely you're not implying that you two are dating."

"Why is it so hard to believe?" Alois asked before Ciel could say anything to the contrary. "We're good looking (which automatically gives a 25% greater likelihood that we're gay), the two of us are close in age, and we're right around the age when hormones are running high and we're at the age when 56% of male teens lose their virginities."

"Stop joking around!" Ciel snapped, "And just where did you get those statistics from, that's total bullsh—"

Alois suddenly covered Ciel's mouth with his hands. "Now now, save your energy for when I got you on your back tonight."

That seemed to be the last straw, something in Sebastian's gaze seemed to have snapped and he suddenly grabbed Ciel's arm, "You'll stay at my apartment until you make other arrangements, NOT with him!"

"Wait, you can't just decide that yourself. Let go of me!" Ciel snapped. His cast members could be so annoying sometimes. It almost felt like they were filming again. Alois waved bye as Ciel was dragged off by Sebastian. Claude had just emerged from the dining hall catching a glimpse of Ciel being pulled off just before they disappeared around the corner.

"What's happening with those two?" he asked Alois who threw his hands behind his head.

"Either something really good, or really bad. Oh well, it's no longer my problem. Do you still have my permit, I'm gonna take Luka and—"

"You're not driving without an adult. I already told you," Claude snapped.

"Damn it Claude. I drove here just fine," he pointed out in a matter of fact tone a slight pouting expression on his face.

"I don't care. I'm not letting you drive. Where are you two staying?" Claude asked.

Alois shrugged, "We're gonna get a short term lease apartment until filming is over."

"You two can stay at my place if you want to," he said somewhat shyly. Claude was really hoping he would say yes, but wasn't expecting him to.

"No thanks Claude. Luka can be a bit of a hassle and I'm sure you'll be much happier without some annoying kids takin' up your space. Thanks anyway though," he said before turning around. "I'm going to go find him, and THEN I want my permit back!"

With that he headed off to find Luka.

Of course he wouldn't want to come, Claude thought reaching into his pocket he removed the keys to his car. While he did secretly adore Alois as more than just a coworker and friend, he truly hadn't had any perverse agendas for inviting him to stay. The thought of merely having his company around had been enough to bring out the invitation. Ever since that time, he had thought often about having Alois around and how it was always better than him not being there…


Ciel was nearly thrown into Sebastian's car, and Sebastian himself walked around climbing into the drivers' seat. "You're not dating him are you?"

"No of course not," Ciel snapped. "He was just being his same old stupid self."

"Well, he's bad news, and he's not right for you anyway," Sebastian explained starting the car.

"So exactly who IS right for me?" Ciel glared.

"Why don't you date Elizabeth, she's got a crush on you anyway," he pointed out. Ciel wouldn't possibly have a hope of getting into trouble if Elizabeth was his girlfriend. The girl was practically an angel without a single perverted thought in her head. Ciel would be perfectly safe then...

"Ugh," Ciel folded his arms leaning back as Sebastian started the car.

"Where are we going?"

"I just told you. My place," Sebastian explained. "I said you could stay with me until you find somewhere to stay without him around."

"I don't have my stuff," Ciel snapped thinking of the clothes he had packed in his hotel room and then another thought hit him. "My Mother is going to be pissed if she finds out I stayed at your place."

"First, don't cuss. It doesn't suit you. Second, I'll have someone get your stuff later. As for your Mother just… don't tell her," Sebastian said shrugging as though it were perfectly normal to invite a minor over to your house to stay without telling their parents.

"How can you be so carefree," Ciel snapped feeling his heart beat a little faster from sitting so close to him. He was in Sebastian's car… His brain was having a small fan girl moment right now.

"Because I don't let things worry me, and you shouldn't either. You're already starting to get a wrinkled forehead like some uptight old man," he said making fun of him once again. Well, Ciel had expected it. It had been almost three minutes since he had said something mean to him. It was about due.

"Whatever," Ciel snapped turning to look out the window as the car pulled out of the parking structure it was in.

"I guess they did a really good job of keeping this meeting of ours under wraps there aren't even any paparazzi at the main entrance hoping to get a picture of us," Sebastian pointed out as the car drove by the entrance to the hotel.

"You sound disappointed about that. Isn't it a good thing?" Ciel asked. He was quite happy they weren't there. If someone were to take a picture of him in Sebastian's car and post it somewhere and then heaven forbid his mother saw it. He could almost hear her screeching voice as she listed all the reasons she disapproved of Sebastian.

"They're easy to deal with if you answer a few of their questions, let them take a few pictures and politely say you're busy and have to go," he explained.

This was bad. He really couldn't go to Sebastian's apartment no matter how curious he was to find out what it looked like. His mother would kill him if she found out.

"I'm going to get a short term lease apartment. You can drop me off at the nearest one," Ciel explained.

"Is that an order, my Lord?" Sebastian asked in his classic Sebastian Butler voice. This wasn't to imply that he used a different voice on the show; merely his voice was just more suave on the show than in real life, and the words send an unwanted chill down Ciel's spine.

"Yes," Ciel snapped.

"Well sorry, I'm not your butler," Sebastian said grinning as they drove by a billboard for their show. "You're coming to my place. We have to catch up anyway. I wanna hear what you've been up to since we parted."

Sebastian pulled into a parking structure and turned off the car.

"C'mon, my apartment is on the 8th floor."

"You didn't live that far away I see," Ciel said climbing out of the car with Sebastian walking with him to the elevator pressing the button.

"My stuff is still at the hotel you know."

"I'll have someone pick it up later," Sebastian said reaching into his pocket he texted Claude to pick up Ciel's stuff. "So…"

"So what?" Ciel asked folding his arms.

"Well I would have thought you'd have kissed me by now," Sebastian said smiling.

"Excuse me?"

"Well, that's what you did last time we were in an elevator alone together. I thought that was going to become a regular thing between us? You do things because you feel like it right? Don't you feel like it anymore?"

"Stop making fun of me," Ciel snapped glancing to the side so Sebastian wouldn't see the embarrassed flush on his cheeks.

"Should I do what I feel like then?" he asked smiling.

Ciel narrowed his eyes, "Stay on your side of the elevator."

The doors opened on the eighth floor and Sebastian walked him down to his place and opened the door stepping back so Ciel could walk in first. Sighing he walked into the apartment which was…

Trashed. Bottles of alcohol and clothes were everywhere as though someone had had a party and not bothered to clean up, there was even some… drug paraphernalia about and… a girl's leg was visible just above the back of Sebastian's sofa, and there was a high heeled shoe about to fall off the toe it was clinging to.

Sebastian followed in a second later. "Woah," he said looking around. "What happened?"

The woman attached to the leg sat up looking completely hammered. She had long black hair and brown eyes. Her blouse was no longer buttoned, and only on one arm was through the sleeve. At her other arm the strap of her bra had fallen off her shoulder and her hair was a mess. Her eye makeup was smeared across her face. "Sebastian darling!" she said smiling.

"Uh-oh…" Sebastian said sighing. "Sammy…"

"Sebastian!" she cheered climbing over the back of the sofa nearly falling over but regaining her balance before rushing over to him and throwing her arms around him. "You weren't here when I came over so I invited a few friends, but then you didn't show up all night. Where were you sweetie?"

Ciel looked furious, his fist tightened until his knuckles turned white. Sighing Sebastian pried the girl off him. "Sweetie? Sammy? What are you playin' at? Just go okay."

"After I waited up all night for you baby?"

"Sammy what the hell are you…"

"I'm leavin'," Ciel snapped spinning around and heading out into the hall.

"Ciel wait, Sammy get off me," Sebastian snapped shoving her back and running out into the hall after him. Ciel was already standing back at the elevator. He had hit the button for the first floor, "Ciel, it's okay, she's my sister."

"Give me a break," Ciel snapped hitting the button for the ground floor. He wasn't about to believe that load of crap.

"Ciel, Seriously. It's okay," he said. "It's not what it looks like."

"I'm gonna catch a cab and find somewhere else to stay," Ciel said as the doors opened. He stepped inside. "Bye."

"Ciel,"Sebastian called as the doors closed. Ciel was gone. In quite a bad mood, he returned to his place. The girl whom had been in a disheveled state moments before had been working on cleaning herself up. Her blouse properly buttoned, her hair combed nice. She was currently working at fixing her makeup when Sebastian stepped in and slammed the door.

"Samantha! What the hell was that?"

"That was me saving you from screwing up your life even more than you already have," she said as she recapped her lipstick.

"What are you talking about?"

"I received a tip about your little friend there. What were you planning? Bringing him back here anyway?"

"Are you… having me followed?" He snapped.

"Of course. Now, this little crush you have on that kid. It can ruin your career. He's fifteen years old, you'll end up in jail if you do anything with him. Not to mention you'll shame your entire family. Is that what you want?"

"I don't have a crush on Ciel," Sebastian said rolling his eyes ignoring her comment on family. "We're friends, I hadn't seen him in a long time and I wanted to catch up with him, and you ruined that thank you very much."

"Right, that's why he's all you talk about, that's why you tease him, and it's for that reason I had to nip this in the butt, and if anything between the two of you starts up again, I will email him a list of every one of your little call girls numbers…" she said. "Don't underestimate me…"

"Sis…" Sebastian sighed. "There is nothing going on between Ciel and I. I don't think about him that way, and frankly it's rather disgusting that you do. So… you don't have to worry okay. I don't view him like that."

"Good, keep it that way," she said grabbing her bag which was on the floor. "I hired people to trash your place, so get someone to clean it and send me the bill."

"You can be a real brat sometimes you know that?" Sebastian said throwing his coat on a nearby chair.

"Just stay away from the kid, you've already embarrassed us enough by this little acting shit you do. Don't embarrass us further by adding pedophilia charges to the list," she snapped before slamming the door.

"Nice to see you too Sis," Sebastian called sarcastically after her.


Ciel knew that shouldn't have upset him so much. Though seeing that girl in Sebastian's house and the mess… He sighed before texting Alois' number with the words: I'll take you up on that offer after all…

With that he closed his phone waiting for his reply with the address to wherever he was staying. To kill time he walked to a nearby restaurant where he ordered a shake. The girl behind the counter had fawned over him so much that she wouldn't give him his drink until he had signed a napkin for her. While she squealed over his signiture he snuck back out quickly. A few minutes later he received his text from Alois that appeared to be an overjoyed message where he teased him about not staying with Sebastian in the first line and then left his address in the second. Ciel called a cab and hopped in.

This was turning out to be a bad day already so really nothing could make it worse now.


"CIEL CIEL CIEL!" Luca called as he swung open the door to the short term lease apartment Alois had rented out. He ran over to him hugging him around the waist. "Brother says you're gonna stay with us!"

"Just for a day or two," Ciel pointed out. He really didn't feel like place hunting after the shock he had received at Sebastian's apartment.

"Yea!" he cheered as he ran back inside.

Alois was sitting on the sofa when he came in. The cushions on the furniture were white whereas the wood was a glossy black. The carpet was a light blue. The place was fully furnished. These short term lease places usually did.

"Yea, my roommate's here!" Alois grinned when Ciel walked in. "Shall I order some pizza?"

"Yes!" Luca said cheering.

"I guess," Ciel said shrugging.

"Yea! Pizza!" Cheered Luca.


Hours after Luca had gone to sleep Alois and Ciel stayed up talking in the living room. Alois had been anxious to hear what had gone wrong making Ciel come to his place instead and when Ciel finally explained Alois had cracked up laughing. Realizing Ciel really wasn't finding anything about the situation funny he quickly composed himself.

"Well, c'mon he Sebastian is clearly a babe magnet. Their probably isn't a teenage girls bedroom lacking a poster of him within' one hundred miles, and the grown women clearly would be attracted to him for his money if not for his looks. So it's really not surprising that he would have a girlfriend. Probably more than one."

"I know…" Ciel said dully.

"What were you expecting when you saw him again anyway? Him to just fall for you?"

"No, of course not. Though… I guess I thought he would be nicer to me at least."

"Nice? Has he ever been nice to you?" Alois asked raising an eyebrow.

"Sure," Ciel answered.

"Okay, let me rephrase that. Outside of filming has he ever been nice to you?"

"…"

"I thought so. If I may, I think I know your problem Ciel. I don't think you're crushin' on Sebastian the actor, It sounds to me like you've fallen in love with his character," Alois explained.

That… that could be true. As embarrassing as it was to admit, the Sebastian he fantasized about would call him Lord, wait on him, and perform every command he ordered. Hell sometimes in his fantasies his eyes would even glow as they did on the show. Never once had he fantasized about the Sebastian who picks on him and teases him, and does everything within his power to make Ciel as uncomfortable as possible. No…he clearly loved Sebastian the demon, the butler, not Sebastian the actor. He was no better than a damn fan girl at this point. Ugh, he was disgusted with himself.

He wasn't sure what hurt worse about this situation. The fact that the man he had kissed in the elevator wasn't the person he had actually fallen for, or fact that person he was in love with didn't actually exist…

Alois noticed his face drop and an unnerved almost frightened expression came across his face. "Well I wouldn't worry about it. You'll find someone someday who suits you. I'll help. I am an incredible matchmaker by the way. Don't know if I've ever told you or not."

"…" Ciel got his feet. "I think I'm going to bed. Goodnight Alois."

"Fine," Alois sighed getting to his feet as well.

Worried, Ciel entered his room and plopped onto his bed. He was just going to have to find someone else to think about. Perhaps Elizabeth wasn't such a bad idea after all…
