Chapter Two: The contract
Ciel startled when a paper ball that hit the back of his head and dropped to the table with a soft thud. The lecture had been going for only thirty minutes and already Ciel got pranks done to him. He looked at the white ball on the table and wondered if he should open it or not. Almost every lecture he got something thrown at him and he just didn't care about it anymore. Besides, he already guessed what the paper contained.
He slowly unrolled the paper and saw just what he had guessed: a sloppy picture of him having sex with two men. One of them was behind him, grabbing his hips tightly while the other male thrust his hard rod inside the boy's mouth. Ciel crushed the paper and turned his head towards Lau who sat a few roads behind him, sniggering with Grell. Not a surprise. Ciel's eyes stopped at Sebastian who sat next to them and looked apologetically at Ciel. The boy snorted and turned his back to Sebastian, he really didn't care what the other man felt. He was their friend, so he was just as bad.
"What's this?" Finny asked and took the paper from Ciel's hand.
"Don't look", Ciel whispered and tried to snatch the paper back but Finny had it too far away.
"Why? Is it a love letter? From certain Mr. Michaelis perhaps?" Finny sniggered and Ciel's eyes widened.
"From Sebastian? Why would he sent me a love letter?" Ciel watched as Finny covered his laughter in his palm.
"Oh, come on! Like you haven't seen how he looks at you", Finny pointed at the man behind them. "Even now, he clearly has a crush on you."
Ciel resisted the urge to turn around and instead smacked his friend's arm.
"Don't be stupid", Ciel leaned back on his chair. "If anything, he's just messing with me like everyone else."
"Just you wait and see", Finny said mysteriously and Ciel was just about to ask what his friend meant when a figure in front of them brought them back to reality.
"Is my lecture not interesting enough for you two?" Their professor asked, her blue eyes stared at them behind her thin glasses. The look in them was piercing and made Ciel feel small, and guessing by Finny's shrugged figure, his friend felt the same. "I know neuropsychology might not be the most interesting part in psychology, but I assure you, you need to pass this curse too."
"No miss Anafeloz", Ciel answered and shook his head. "It is very interesting."
"Then pay attention", she snapped and turned to leave when her eyes hit the paper ball on Finny's hand. "What's that?"
Finny gave Ciel a careful glance before he gave the ball to their professor. She unfolded the paper and scanned the picture, her face expressionless.
"Who drew this?" She asked, her eyes turned to scan through the class and some of the students flinched. The class stayed quiet, everyone too scared to let out any sound. "If you don't tell me, I will find it on my own. And trust me, it won't be pretty."
She started to walk through the class, her long lilac hair swung from side to side when she walked and stopped occasionally to stare at some students. When she reached Lau, she stopped and stared at the man for a long time. Lau stared back, his expression natural until he rose up.
"It was me."
"Detention. Come to my room after class.", the professor said and went back to the front to continue the lecture like nothing had happened. Ciel caught Lau's eyes and the anger he saw in them made his stomach turn. The gaze hinted that Ciel was in a real trouble, and though he wasn't that scared of the man, he had connections. If Ciel weren't careful, it would surely become dangerous.
Suddenly another paper ball hit his head and Ciel groaned in frustration. He smacked his hand to the table and opened the ball, ready to rip it in pieces. What was inside wasn't a bad picture of him though. It was writing, the letters tall and cursive.
'Follow me after class, don't let anyone know.
- Sebastian'
Ciel quickly glanced at Sebastian but the man focused on the board ahead. What was the man thinking? That Ciel would follow him without a question? That Ciel didn't know what kind of a man he was? He must have been out of his mind! Ciel crumbled the paper to his hand and pushed it to his pocket. Like hell was he doing anything that Sebastian Michaelis told him to do.
When the lecture ended, Ciel packed his things and followed his friends out the auditorium. He saw Sebastian look at him but turned his head away quickly. Whatever the man was planning, it wasn't working. Finny and Bard talked happily to each other, and Ciel just listened to their talk. Apparently, they were going to the restaurant Finny had mentioned earlier to keep their date. To think this was the last moment he saw them before his week-long job really pained his heart. It wasn't that long, but it felt long without the support of his friends.
"Guys?" Ciel called and they both stopped. He took a deep breath, carefully thinking his words. They needed to know, otherwise they would be worried. "I… I will be away for a week again."
"What? Again? I'll miss you so much!" Finny yelled and hugged Ciel tightly. "Do you really have to go?"
"I wish I didn't", Ciel answered and pushed his friend away.
"Is it the same dog again?" Finny asked and Ciel nodded. He had told ages ago that he took care of a sick dog when his owner was out of town. The 'dog' had a stomach cancer and was nearly dying, that's why Ciel had no choice to leave him be even for a second. "Poor thing, but he is fighting very hard. What has it been? Half a year already?"
"Something like that", Ciel said. "He is very strong."
They started to walk again when someone grabbed Ciel's arm and stopped him.
"Wha-"
"Come with me", he heard Sebastian's deep voice and the man started to pull him with him.
"Hey! Let me go-mmph!" A large hand pressed over Ciel's mouth silenced his protest.
"Shut up or they'll hear you", Sebastian whispered between his teeth and continued to pull Ciel with him. Ciel did his best to struggle but Sebastian's glare stopped him half way. The look was something he had never seen on Sebastian's face, filled with annoyance and anger. Ciel swallowed and let Sebastian take him to an empty room before he broke himself free.
"Get the hell away from me!" He yelled and pushed the man further away.
"I think I told you to follow me after class", Sebastian's voice was deep and made Ciel's stomach twist unpleasantly. The man was seriously angry.
"Why do I have to do something you tell me to do?" Ciel spat back. Sebastian started to walk towards him and Ciel had no other choice but to back away, the aura around the man making him shrink a little.
"I wouldn't have sent you the message if it wasn't important", Sebastian said and walked towards the boy until his back hit the wall. Ciel looked around him and saw that there was no way out of it. Sebastian was close, but didn't touch him. It didn't matter though; he could easily grab him if the boy was to escape.
"W-what was so important?" Ciel asked and swallowed when he found his voice being unsteady. How was it possible for this man to make him react like this?
"Lau is planning something against you", Sebastian's voice was so serious Ciel had suppress his chuckle.
"Tell me something I didn't know."
"You don't understand. This time it's serious", Sebastian said.
"Like he has the guts to do anything serious", Ciel snorted. "He's just a pussy when it comes to-"
"Listen to me!" Sebastian banged the wall next to Ciel's head and the boy flinched. "He's going to hurt you."
"How?" Ciel asked, not really believing what the man was saying. Like he could be hurt in the university grounds.
"Needle shower", Sebastian answered and Ciel's eyes widened.
"He's that imaginative?"
"Ciel, you need to take this seriously. He's-"
"Sebastian. I don't see why you are telling me this", Ciel looked deeply on the man's eyes. "Doesn't it mean that your plan is going to waste too?"
"My what?" Sebastian asked and the boy snorted again.
"Like this isn't a part of your plan already", Ciel said. "Look, I have experienced a lot in my life; one stupid joke isn't going to hurt me that much."
Sebastian grit his teeth as he banged the wall again, his red eyes fixated on Ciel's.
"Look, I know you don't trust me but I really need you to believe me this time. Stay out of the main door."
"Why do you care where I go?"
"I just do it. Please?" Sebastian's voice was so serious Ciel felt an odd twist in his stomach. Maybe the man wasn't playing with him. Could he really be trusted?
"Well well, someone has you under his spell already?" A mocking voice said behind them and Sebastian turned away from Ciel immediately. He looked at Grell who walked slowly towards them. He didn't stop until he was just an inch away from Sebastian.
"Get lost, Grell", Sebastian said but the red-haired man only smirked and revealed his sharp-like teeth.
"Oh, but then you'll stay together with him", Grell pouted and put his hand on Sebastian's shoulder. "God knows how fast he'll take you away, Sebas-chan." Grell rose to his toes and licked Sebastian's lips slowly. "That would be awful."
"I said knock it off", Sebastian pushed Grell away from him but the man just bounced back.
"Aww, just a little kiss, please?" Grell blinked his eyes on Sebastian and leaned in closer. "Just a small one…"
Ciel's eyes widened in surprise when Grell pulled Sebastian in to a heated kiss. He could see Grell's tongue go in Sebastian's mouth and the red-hair groaned, pushing their bodies together. The kiss seemed to be endless and Ciel felt his insides turn cold. Sebastian wasn't pushing Grell away anymore; just simply let the man do whatever he wanted. When Grell's eyes turned to Ciel and told him to fuck off, Ciel took a shaky breath and ran away, not bearing to look at them anymore. He ran as far as he could go. Sebastian yelled his name at some point but he didn't care. He just had to get out. Immediately!
His heart pounded loudly in his chest when he finally stopped, the image of Sebastian and Grell kissing seemed to be stuck on his retina. He had known it was a prank. Ciel had to give them credit though; the situation had really shocked him but he couldn't tell why. Sebastian had looked so serious, that for a second, Ciel had actually believed that the man was worried about him. How stupid of him. Like anyone would really care for him.
"Ciel!"
Ciel heard Finny call his name and turned his eyes to his two best friends that came running towards him. "Where did you disappear?"
"I had a small talk with Sebastian", Ciel answered.
"What did he want?" Finny asked and lied his hand on Ciel's shoulder. "You look pale, is everything alright?"
"Everything's fine", Ciel said and brushed the hand off before he continued. "He asked me to avoid the main door."
"Why would he ask that?" Finny asked and looked at Bard.
"He told me it was a prank", Ciel let out a small laugh and Finny frowned.
"You don't trust him?"
"Why should I", Ciel said and grit his teeth. "He's just as bad as anyone else."
"I trust him", Bard said behind them and made Ciel look at him with surprised eyes. "He has never done anything to hurt anyone. He's not a bad person."
"You really think so?" Ciel asked and felt a warm feeling appear to his body. "Would he seriously care for me?"
"There's no doubt about it", Bard answered and smiled. Ciel couldn't help but believe his friend and let out a small smile himself. It Bard trusted him, so could Ciel.
"Besides, he's attracted to you. It would be bad for him if you started to hate him", Finny sniggered and slapped Ciel's back.
"Finny seriously, knock it off", Ciel said but couldn't keep a little blush away from his face.
"Why should I when I'm only telling you the truth", Finny smiled but the left the following comments to himself. "By the way, where are you meeting the customer this time?"
"At the undertaker's", Ciel answered and looked as Finny's eyes lit up.
"Undertaker's? That's just next door from the restaurant we are going!" Finny said and looked at Bard with pleading eyes. "Can Ciel come too, please? Just for a little while!"
"Sure, I don't mind", Bard answered with a smile. The question made Ciel frown and he pulled his friend closer so that he could whisper to his ear.
"What are you doing? I thought this was the night for only you two", Ciel said and Finny's expression dropped a bit before he whispered back.
"I'm too nervous to go alone."
"You'll be fine. You talk to Bard all the time", Ciel said but his words didn't seem to courage Finny enough.
"I just have a bad feeling about this. Maybe it really isn't a date", Finny said and glanced at Bard before he continued. "He's not acting all that different from before. I thought he would be excited or something but he's just so… Bard."
"You know he doesn't show much emotions", Ciel said and Finny frowned again.
"That's why it's so hard."
Ciel looked at Finny for a long minute before he said: "Okay, I'll come. But I leave as soon as it looks like you can handle it."
"Sure, thank you, Ciel", Finny smiled his sunny smile and rushed to Bard. Ciel knew their situation wasn't the best and Finny must have been very anxious about their evening. So many times something went wrong so it was understandable. If only this time, everything would turn out well for Finny.
As soon as they got to the restaurant, Ciel understood why it was so popular among couples. It was small and homey. The walls showed parts of red brick wall, here and there were paintings of love couples or gentle landscapes. The roof was high, long logs went throughout the air, and small lamps lightened the air dimly, creating a gentle atmosphere. Everywhere Ciel looked, he saw coupled fallen to their own little worlds. Some fed big pieces of cakes to their lovers as others just drank tea and talked. Ciel even thought he saw a couple kissing each other in a dark corner.
They took a table next to a shell filled with tealeaves that created a mixed smell of sweet and bitter tea. Finny and Ciel ordered some tea while as Bard took a coffee along with a huge piece of chocolate cake. Finny's eyes widened when he saw the treat and he stole most of it to himself and left just a small portion for Ciel and Bard. Not that Ciel minded much, he was getting more and more nervous the closer the client's meeting came and doubted that any more food could stay in.
"Oh yeah, did I tell you about the girl I met the other day?" Bard said when he ate the last piece of cake. Ciel shook his head and Finny seemed to become more alert, the spoon in his mouth stilled in place as he looked at Bard.
"She's Mey-Rin, a super-hot lady who has these huge… glasses. The redhead", Bard said excitedly and looked at both of his friends. Finny's smile dropped a bit, not enough for Bard to notice. Ciel knew immediately that this conversation would end badly.
"She's from upper class, right?" Finny asked, his hands shaking slightly.
"That's her. A perfect package. Round chest, long eyelids, perfect tongue... And those legs, ah. The best night of my life", Bard closed his eyes, his face oozing from happiness, happiness that made Finny drop his spoon to the plate with a loud clang. The orange haired boy lowered his head as he shook heavily. Though Ciel couldn't see his face, he knew that small tears threatened to break free. "You know what? I asked her to be my girlfriend."
"W-what did she s-say?" Finny whispered and waited for the reply.
"She hasn't said anything yet but promised to answer sometime on the future", Bard laughed. Finny couldn't take it anymore and quickly stood up, the table jolted from the impact.
"Wow, what-"
"I'm really glad for you", Finny said between gritted teeth and pulled Ciel to him. "Excuse us."
They stormed to the restroom and before the door managed to close, Finny hit the wall in frustration, his hand cracking unpleasantly. Ciel listened the hurtful cries as his friend doubled to the floor. It wasn't the first time that Bard spoke about some girl while he was with Finny. Sometimes he even told him very specific description about what had happened during the night, breaking Finny's heart repeatedly. This had been going on for almost two years now and Ciel truly wondered how much longer the small boy could take.
"That... That damned idiot!" Finny cursed and dried his eyes to his sleeve. "How could he!"
"Finny-"
"I truly thought this was my change!" Finny cried out and hugged Ciel tightly, burying his nose to the nook of his neck. CIel felt the warm tears drop to his shoulders and his friend shook slightly. This shock had clearly been more than Finny was used to and there were no words that could be said to make him feel better. He hugged his friend tightly, not knowing what else he could do.
"W-what if they start going out?" Finny whispered when the sobbing finally subdued. He pointed his swollen turquoise eyes to Ciel's and demanded for an answer the boy couldn't give. "It would break me!"
"No one knows what will happen. You just have to wait and see", Ciel said quietly and saw a small smile appear to Finny's face.
"Yeah, you're right. It's stupid to stress over at it right now", he said and hugged Ciel once more before he let go and washed his face with cold water to make the redness on his face disappear. Ciel watched as the boy dried his face and looked at his reflection before he placed his usual smile to his face. If it weren't the slightly red eyes, Ciel couldn't have told the difference between his usual and fake smile.
"Well then, shall we go?"
"Actually, Finny, I have to go now", Ciel apologized and grabbed Finny's hand. "I really wish I could stay for longer but..."
"It's not like you can do anything about it", Finny said with a smile and guided Ciel out the restroom. Bard casually drank coffee when they walked towards him but almost dropped his mug to the table when his eyes stopped to Finny.
"What happened?" He asked and took the boy's hand to his own. "You're bleeding!"
"It's nothing. There was a cockroach I took care of", Finny smiled and tugged his hand away from Bard. Ciel hadn't even noticed the small wounds on the boy's knuckles.
"Cockroach? And you took care of it by your hand?" Bard let out a small laugh. "You sure are violent."
Finny fell silent and Ciel saw the distress on his pale face. He surely hoped he could stay. The situation seemed to be overwhelming to the boy and Ciel sighted heavily. If only an hour longer, it would be great. Sadly, that wasn't possible.
"Well then, I have to go", Ciel waved to his friends and gave Finny one last assuring glance.
"Have a nice week", both Finny and Bard said in unison and laughed immediately afterwards. Ciel gave them an empty smile in return. 'Nice' was probably the last word to describe the upcoming week.
"You too, bye", Ciel waved and stepped out of the restaurant to a cold evening air. He took a deep breath, and tried to calm down his nerves as he walked down the street. He gave himself the usual strength-speech. Only a week, no time at all. He could handle it, he always did. Only a week…
It took Ciel five minutes to walk to the Undertakers. The huge sign and the light showed far and it wasn't hard to guess what kind of people it attracted. If the porter dressed only in black leather pants and a police cap wasn't enough cue, the population inside sure was.
Everywhere Ciel looked, he saw lots and lots of gay people, some of them smooched and touched each other in a way that left no room for imagination. Most people just calmly drank and chatted while others kept some kind of a dare contest, yelling loudly and clapping every time someone completed their task. Ciel was actually very amazed about how openly the men let know they were gay. He even saw a few guys that walked round nearly naked and begged for someone to slap them on their round butts.
"Ah, a new guy!" a grey haired man shouted behind the counter and waved for Ciel to come to him. Ciel looked around him before he walked to the man. The man had long bangs that covered his face almost completely. The only things visible were his wicked smile and a long scar that ran across his face.
"What's your name, honey", he said and poured Ciel a glass of something transparent. The smell of liquor filled Ciel's nostrils and he suppressed a gag. Alcohol always made him feel bad. "Cat got your tongue?"
"I don't like talking to strangers", Ciel said and looked away from the man.
"Ah, pardon me. My name is Undertaker, I own this bar", the man said and bowed deeply. Undertaker? Really? It wasn't someone's real name, was it?
"I'm Ciel."
"Ciel? Phantomhive right?" Undertaker asked and Ciel startled a bit. He frowned before Undertaker showed him a contract paper all Ciel's clients had. This was Ciel's client. Seriously?
"Yes", Ciel said, still slightly dumbfounded by his client. This man didn't look like he was too old, maybe around his thirties and didn't look that bad. Unfortunately, Ciel had so many times witnessed his clients change their behavior midway he didn't let first impressions fool him anymore. "Where would you like for me to go?"
"Oh, just go to that room over there, I'll be there in just a bit", Undertaker said and pointed at a dark door at the opposite side of the bar. Ciel nodded and took the glass with him, not intending to drink it though.
When he reached the room he was pointed to, it was like he entered a whole new world. When the bar itself was clean and decorated nicely, this room was like a rubbish dump. Dirty pizza boxes lied everywhere, the tables were covered in dust and the old sofa was moldy and stank like something had died in it. Ciel held back the nausea and tried to breathe through his sleeve so the stink wouldn't be so bad.
He wondered around the room and tried to find a place he could sit on. When he glanced at the kitchen, he nearly threw up. Piles of rotten food lingered here and there, the dishes unwashed and gathered to a shaking tower. When Ciel spotted a window, he almost yelped in joy before he noticed that it wouldn't even budge, mostly because of the stuff that lied in front of it. Seriously, could someone live in this kind of place? Without being seriously ill?
Suddenly the door opened and two men entered the room. They held each other close and kissed deeply, clearly unaware of their surroundings. Ciel looked away when the lilac haired man pulled down his pants and showed his round bottom to the whole world.
"Soma, you are so hot", the white haired man whispered and pulled his own pants down. "I want you so badly."
"Agni, do me, now!" Soma's cheeks were flushed pink and his lilac hair slightly messed up. He bended against the wall and pressed his bottom against the other man. They both grunted in bliss when the taller man entered Soma, the small man moved his hips wantonly.
"F-faster!" Soma pleaded and Agni sped up his thrusts, slamming the small man in such speed Ciel wondered how it didn't hurt. They shared many kisses, mostly because Agni swallowed Soma's loud moans. Agni changed speeds and made the man under him shiver in pleasure. Soma's eyes were closed as he grabbed the back of his lovers head.
"I love you", Agni said and nibbled Soma's neck, moving his hand to the leaking member. Soma groaned and bit down to his hand, barely able to muffle his moans. Their movements became irregular as they neared their peak, Soma blabbering some nonsense as Agni buried himself deep inside the man.
"A-agn-nnnh! I-I'm c-coming!" Soma yelled and Agni placed his hand to cover his mouth.
"Just a bit more", Agni huffed and sped up his thrusts. Soma threw his head to the ceiling and let out a loud scream as he came, Agni pumping his pulsating shaft. With a couple more thrusts, the white haired man came also, burying his groan to the shivering man's neck.
"Ah, Soma!" the man grunted and he collapsed to the floor, taking the smaller man with him. "I can never get enough of you."
"Me neither", Soma said and took Agni to a hungry yet slender kiss. "You are awesome."
"Nothing compared to you", Agni smiled before he gave his lover one last kiss and rose up, helping the bit shivering man to find his balance. Suddenly Soma turned his eyes to Ciel and his face went pale as he quickly covered his genitals.
"Wh-who are you?" he asked in shock whereas Agni just smiled happily.
"You didn't notice him?"
"You say you did?" Soma asked. "Why the heck didn't you say anything!?"
"Would you have let me continue if I did?" Agni asked and kissed Soma's neck sweetly. Soma blushed and lowered his head in defeat when Agni turned to Ciel with a smile.
"Sorry to have bothered you", he smiled and bowed. "We will take our leave now."
Soma gave Ciel one last glance before he followed the man out the room, Ciel didn't know which way to turn. He just stood there and thought about the action that just occurred. Action, that seemed to be so easy for them. Ciel doubted he could ever feel anything even close to the heat those two men shared, it was just psychically impossible. The lilac haired man seemed to even enjoy it! Like sex wasn't only pain? Ciel snorted and put his hand over his covered eye, feeling pain take over it for a second. Yeah right. Sex was nothing but pain.
Suddenly Ciel felt like he really needed to get out of there, to get some fresh air, and possibly disappear before anything happened. Screw the client, screw the punishment he would definitely get later. He just needed to get out. Ciel roughly opened the door and ran out, only to bump to someone standing right in front of the door. The impact made Ciel fall to the floor and he groaned in pain when his head hit the doorframe.
"I'm terribly sorry! I hope… Ciel?"
Ciel's eyes widened when he saw the red orbs that looked worriedly at him. Not him. Not in a place like this. Sebastian kneeled beside the boy and pointed out his hand to lift him up. Ciel just glared at the hand and shifted his body further away.
"Sorry, I didn't notice you", the man said. "What are you doing here?"
"I could ask you the same question."
"I don't feel like I need to answer to that", Sebastian smirked and Ciel fell silent when Sebastian's hand wrapped around his waist and lifted him up in a smooth movement. "Would you like to have a drink with me?"
"W-what?" Ciel asked, unable to believe his ears. Sebastian Michaelis was offering him a drink. After the incident just a few hours ago. "No!"
"Why not?" Sebastian asked, his voice sounded honestly disappointed but Ciel couldn't care less.
"First of all, I don't drink, and secondly, I would never be happy to drink with you", Ciel spat and Sebastian laughed at him.
"Never say never", Sebastian said and Ciel opened his mouth to scold him again when a shadow appeared behind Sebastian and made him shut up completely.
"I see you find it difficult to fulfill my orders", Undertaker said, his voice and composure not a bit threatening but it made Ciel shudder in fear.
"Undertaker, you know Ciel?" Sebastian asked and his gaze changed between Ciel and the man. For a split second Ciel though he saw something fear like flash over Sebastian's face but it was gone before he could focus on that.
"Don't worry honey, I didn't say anything", Undertaker said. "Your secret lies with me."
"Undertaker!" Sebastian raised his voice and grabbed the man's collar. "Shut. Up."
"I said nothing", Undertaker sniggered and Sebastian grit his teeth.
"You already said too much."
Ciel looked at the two men and couldn't help feeling a bit curious. Sebastian had a secret he didn't want anyone to know? This he had to find out!
"Go inside", Undertaker ordered and pushed Ciel and Sebastian in the room before he followed them and shut the door.
"My my, you really should clean up more often", Sebastian said and covered his nose. "It stinks!"
"I'll clean when I have time", Undertaker said and took out the contract paper. Ciel's eyes widened in horror as Undertaker swung the paper in front of Sebastian's nose.
"This is for you", Undertaker said and gave Sebastian the contract. Sebastian read the paper and turned his red orbs to Ciel.
Ciel didn't fully understand the situation but didn't like where things were going. He felt shivers run down his spine when Sebastian's eyes examined up and down his body. Ciel blushed slightly when their eyes met and turned his head quickly away. The fear started to take control of his body as he thought how Sebastian would react when he found out his secret.
"Seriously?" Sebastian asked and looked at Undertaker with a disgusted face. The disgust made Ciel's stomach twist unpleasantly and he hugged his body tightly. It was just the reaction he had feared for.
"It's a present for you", Undertaker smiled, his long bangs shaking as he laughed to his sleeve.
"Present?" Sebastian asked with a deep voice. His gaze moved again to Ciel but the boy couldn't bear to look him in the eye. "He's a present?"
Undertaker nodded and laughed again.
"No", Sebastian said then and pushed the contract to Undertaker's chest. "I won't accept it."
"If you don't take him, I'll give him to one of my customers. I think I know someone who is missing a pet at the moment", Undertaker said and sounded like he seriously thought about giving Ciel to someone else. Sebastian seemed to have a battle of his own. His eyes moved from the contract to Ciel and back. He grabbed his hair and tugged it roughly when thought about his answer. Ciel felt his breath hitch to his throat when he waited for Sebastian to speak.
"Fine", Sebastian then said between gritted teeth and looked at Undertaker in defeat. "This is better be the last time you try to help me out."
"Have a nice week", Undertaker snickered, ignoring Sebastian's words completely. He waved for both of them before he disappeared from the door.
Silence fell between them. Ciel felt his beat loudly in his chest as the situation sank in. He was going to spend the whole week with Sebastian Michaelis. Of all people, it had to be the person he couldn't handle. He felt Sebastian stare at him but kept his head lowered. How could he handle the situation now? If it was just a random person, he could immediately forget him after the week, but Sebastian he saw almost every day. If the week were as bad as the usual ones, he wouldn't be able to get over it so quickly. That only meant more pain for him.
"Ciel", Sebastian said quietly and the boy flinched. "I'm sorry."
Ciel turned his eye to Sebastian and looked at him with a frown.
"Undertaker can be such a dick sometimes. I had no idea he was planning something like this", Sebastian sounded truly honest and Ciel didn't know if he should believe the man or not. "If I had known, I would have stopped him in time. I'm sorry."
Ciel stayed silent for a moment and focused on Sebastian's red orbs that looked at him apologetically. Could he really believe that the man was honestly sorry, that he didn't want this either? Ciel bit his lips and thought deeply to his next words.
"… I accept your apology. But so that you know, I'm not letting you sleep with me", Ciel' face burned from his words and he was glad the light was dim in the room. He heard Sebastian gasp before the usual smirk appeared to his face.
"I'll make you want to sleep with me", the man teased and ruffled Ciel's hair.
"I will never give you the pleasure", Ciel spat but didn't pull away from the warm hand. It was like a contract between them, that everything would be all right. Ciel found an odd warm sensation take over his body the more Sebastian touched him and slowly moved the hand away.
"This week is going to be interesting", Sebastian smirked and walked out the room. Ciel pressed his hand over the hot spot Sebastian had touched and felt his body shiver oddly. It was like his body had betrayed him and now longed for the touch again. Ciel gritted his teeth and followed the man out. If anything, this week was going to be a complete hell!
