Ciel placed a hand to his cheeks, they were burning up, but why, could it have been because Sebastian kept feeling him throughout the day, then appeared out of nowhere in the Nurse's office?

No it had to be because he had almost told Sebastian his secret, of course that was it, it couldn't be anything else.

Ciel sighed and started to walk out of the Boy's Locker Room after he had changed back into his uniform. He walked out to see Finnian waiting for him.

"Ciel! I waited so we could walk home together" Finnian yelled, causing nearby students to stare. Many kids in the school thought Finnian was gay, since he always walked home with Ciel, and gave him slightly killed flowers, but Finnian wasn't like that. Finnian just lived right next door to Ciel and his Aunt, Madam Red, and really loved planting gardens.

"Lets go" Ciel replied with a forced smile, he felt a little flustered for some reason. Finnian nodded once and they began to make their way down the crowded hall.

"Did…Sebastian say anything to you, to make you feel down?" Finnian asked confused at Ciel's new attitude. He shook his head in response. Ciel looked around and made eye contact with a few people, they looked amused; they were probably making fun of him. Ciel had learned not to care ever since his parents passed away. Most of the walk home was silent.

"You sure?" Finny pried only out of worry. They were about half way home at this point.

"Yes" Ciel replied slightly annoyed "nothing he could ever say to me would matter…" he added studying Finnian's expression. Some of the worry had faded.

"I see" Finny retorted. The conversation had finally ended. "Can you hang out today?" Finnian asked cocking his head slightly to the side.

"I'm kind of tired actually…" Ciel replied feeling a little bad afterwards, he always seemed to be rejecting Finnian's invitations. Finny simply nodded, they had made it to their destination.

"See you tomorrow then" he said waving at Ciel and making his way up the concrete stairs that led up to his front door. Ciel started walking across the grass in front of his house, climbing up the stares, and opening the front door. The house was empty; it echoed with loneliness. Ciel shook his head, making his way around the corner that was next to the coat rack which was to the right of the door, into the kitchen. As he thought Madam Red was not around. Ciel took and apple from the bowl in the center of the table. He couldn't help but think about what his aunt spent her days doing; sleeping with men she didn't know anything about in order to obtain cash. She was a call girl, and apparently a good one at that considering her constant absence. Turning to face the living room and then beginning to walk, putting the apple to his mouth and taking a bite; then spitting it out. He pulled his face back in disgust and looked at the apple, it was almost completely brown he walked over to the garbage and threw it out, going to the fridge afterwards. All he had eaten that day was a bread bowl full of pudding. When he opened the fridge it was empty the only thing in there was, a container of butter, his stomach growled; he had no choice but to go to the market, Ciel grabbed the twenty dollars Madam Red always left next to the spice rack for Ciel to buy food and went out the front door.

The store was only a few blocks away, it would only take ten or so minutes by foot. For Ciel it seemed to take a half hour considering how out of shape he was. His breath was a little heavy when he entered the store, the cool air conditioned building; covered in white tiles. Ciel thought about what he wanted to eat as he started making his way toward the ice-cream isle, instinctively. He looked back and forth between the strawberry flavor and the chocolate, he couldn't decide. He finally decided on the chocolate taking it from the freezer and turning to make his way towards the cake section, running into someone who seemed to be standing next to him in the process, he looked up at the person.

"EH!" Ceil responded in irritation. "STALKER!" he yelled, a few old women looked over, and picked up the pace they were moving with their walkers.

"damn kids" Ciel heard them mutter, they seemed to be scared.

"How am I a stalker?" Sebastian replied tilting his head innocently. Ciel narrowed his eyes.

"You are a serious creeper"

Sebastian turned his face into an expression of false offense. Ciel rolled his eyes.

"You know you love it" Sebastian retorted winking at him, Ciel faked a gag. "You really came here for sweets, no wonder you're so out of shape"

"N-not just for sweets!" Ciel snapped grabbing a box of sponge cake and then making his way in the opposite direction towards the meat section. Sebastian followed!. Ciel glanced over his shoulder. "C-creeper!" He stammered.

"I just want to make sure you're safe" Sebastian Replied sounding serious for once.

"I can take care of myself" Ceil mumbled. Sebastian turned Ciel around so that the two were facing each other.

"I express my feelings of worry towards you, and that's all you say?" Sebastian said leaning in to their faces were kind of close. Ciel's face flushed.

"D-don't come any closer" Ciel stammered, the shade of red on his cheeks darkening. Sebastian smirked and began to lean even closer as if he were going to kiss Ciel, the surrounding old people looked at them with disgust

"two boys" one of the old lady's whispered, triggering Ciel to back up and slap Sebastian across the face and then running off before he could see the taller male's reaction. Sebastian stood there completely in shock. Ciel left the store without paying.

"Damn it!" He said to himself when he realized this. "Freaking old people" He added as he caught his breath. Ciel glanced around to see the people around him, over by one of the cart returns there was a mother begging her son.

"Please let me see your test scores Light!" She cried as if the world was going to end if she didn't see. The boy simply rolled his eyes.

"Mom! I'm twenty-three, there are no test scores!" He snapped and headed back to the car. The woman started to cry hysterically. Ciel just continued on, it seemed that nobody had noticed he stole the ice-cream and sponge cake. Ciel sighed and turned to go back and pay, but he saw Sebastian standing there with his wallet out in his hand.

"I paid for you; in return I want to walk you home." Sebastian informed him, Ciel's sweat dropped.

"Creeper! Then you can stalk me!" Ciel yelled as he made an attempt to leave, but Sebastian grabbed the smaller boy's shoulders.

"I'm walking you home; I've been worried ever since I saw you walk out of the Nurse's office." Sebastian told him. "I didn't mean to frighten you." Sebastian added, turning Ciel to look him the eye, Ciel's eyes were wide and his cheeks red. 'How cute' Sebastian thought as he moved next to Ciel,

"Shall I walk you home now?" Sebastian asked, getting a nod in return, Ciel must have been in a slight daze. No one but Finnian has really ever cared for him, he felt a small smile appear of his face, it quickly disappeared when Sebastian groped his ass

"HEY!" Ciel snapped as he glared up at the taller male, a smirk on the older one's lips.
It only took a few minutes for them to reach Ciel's house, it wasn't in the nicest condition on the outside, the yard was half dead.

"It was nice when Madam Red first owned it, but Finnian came along and…this happened." Ciel explained as he opened the front door. He turned and looked at Sebastian. "You can leave now."

"I just want to take a peek inside Ciel~ Please~?" Sebastian cried a fake emotion on his face. Ciel glared.

"You act just like Grell." Ciel informed him and walked inside his home to place the food inside the fridge, Sebastian walked right in since Ciel didn't close the door on him.

"It's not that nice on the inside, it's quite creepy if you ask me." Sebastian thought aloud, placing a finger on his chin. "I might be able to fix it up." Sebastian stated as he looked at Ciel who was about to open the sponge cake.

"No." Ciel answered in an emotionless tone. "I'm not having a creeper like you over on a daily basis."

"Then…I guess it's settled…I'm finding your room!" Sebastian announced as he disappeared from his previous spot at the counter. Ciel gasped.

"Fuck!" He yelled as he ran towards his room on the second level, he ran in and looked around, but gasped when the door shut behind him. He turned and saw Sebastian. "Damn it" He said aloud, he was tricked into Sebastian's game. Sebastian leaned into the smaller boy closely.

"You're not mine…yet." He whispered as he took his leave and exited the house. Ciel sat down on his bed, his cheeks slightly red.

"What the hell?" He wondered aloud as he got up to go and have sponge cake, since his stomach had growled reminding him of his hunger.
