Previously on Black Butler - The True Story:
Alois recaps on how he knew Ciel before Black Butler: "I'd rather not talk about it, for it was years ago obviously. I think we were around six and seven, and we were adventurous, curious, little boys." I breath calmly, pausing. "We were playing outside, then we laid on the grass and stared at the clouds. So . . . Him, being a bit more curious then me, asked how it was to kiss someone. I told him that I wondered the same and then we both decided we'd kiss each other."Claude confesses he has a thing for Sebastian: I can't help but to think of Sebastian. I never really talked to the guy, but I really want to get to know him before we start filming Black Butler II. By how Ciel laughs a lot around him, he looks like he's a great guy, but I don't know how to speak to him properly.
P.O.V of Claude
I wake up with a sleeping Alois in my arms, and a quiet hotel room. I'm still kind of tired, but I need the comfort of my own hotel room and I need to get up the courage to talk to Sebastian. I carefully slip out of the bed and put my clothes back on and carry my shoes. I glance over at the sleeping Alois and I make sure to cover him up so he won't wake up cold. I walk out, closing the door softly, and go to my room which is next door. I don't even know if I'd be bothering Michaelis or not, that's the main thing I'm worried about. As much as there is a rival between Alois and Ciel, that doesn't mean I can't talk to Ciel's best friend. I lay back on my bed and press his speed dial number, waiting for him to answer . . .
P.O.V of Sebastian
Ciel went to go take a bath, so I decided to stay in the living room and stare blankly at the TV. I get startled when my phone starts vibrating in my pocket. I look at it and see that it's Claude . . . Claude Faustus that plays the other demon butler. I wonder why he's calling me.
"Hello?" I answer.
"Oh, uh, hi there, Sebastian. It's me, Claude."
"Alright. What do you need?" He wouldn't be calling me for no reason would he? He's working along side Alois, so it could be anything.
"Well, I just wanted to talk to you and . . . I was wondering, in a convenient time, if you'd like to hang out with me. I'm in Florida right now, but-"
"I'm in Florida too . . ." I blurted out. He seems a little tense, and it's obvious he really wants to get to know me. I can even hear him smiling.
"Wow, that's great. Well how about we hang out in an hour from now then? I can come and pick you up!"
I tell him that that sounds fine, and then tell him the hotel I'm in, and we hang up. I hear Ciel come out the bathroom, and I glance back, seeing him walk into his room closing the door.
"Ciel I'm going out soon . . . With Claude!" I yelled loud enough for him to hear me. I hear little footsteps, his cute ones, coming towards the door and opening it.
"What?! You're going out with the devils assistant?"
"Oh relax! We're just hanging out! Just because you and Alois hate each other doesn't mean we have to hate each other."
I see him pout slightly, then sigh.
"Fine, Sebastian. You have fun, but be careful." He says, a little worry in his voice.
"Of course, of course, Young Master." I grin and laugh. He rolls his eyes and laugh as he closes the door once more.
I'm glad I didn't stare at him with lust! All he had was his towel around his waist! I shake my head and go to my room, trying to figure out what to wear. Nothing fancy, maybe just a vest, white shirt, and some jeans . . . Black jeans. That sounds nice.
P.O.V of Alois
I wake up with Claude gone, and me laying there alone obviously. I can't believe he just left . . . Oh well. I'll just have to be in here alone then, and I wonder where he went. I shake my head and look at my phone: No messages, no missed calls. I kind of miss Ciel, despite the fact that he overreacts a lot, I really need someone. Hannah is also on her vacation and I don't want to bother her, but I really wonder badly about how Ciel is doing. I already know he's saying false things about me, and calling him may start an argument, but I don't care anymore, I'm already desperate. I hesitantly call and wait for an answer. It takes a while, but by the last ring or so, he answers.
"Alois? If you're calling to yell at me save it-"
"No, I just want to talk to you." I say shyly. There's a sigh and some ruffling going on in the background.
"About what? About how you promised promises you couldn't keep?!"
"Which was the past, Ciel!" I yell. He just can't get over the fact that I was just a kid and I never really loved him and he was bothering the hell out of me. I just wanted out of the emotional bullshit.
"I don't care! You never apologized! All you did was tell me how annoying I was to you, and how we were just kids and that I should just leave you the hell alone! I know we were kids, but you didn't have to break me down like that! Especially after my parents died, Alois! I can never forget that!"
I do feel bad about that . . . But he's always been fed up about it, so I'm not sure how to change it.
"Look, Ciel. I'm fucking sorry. I'm sorry your parents died and all I did was bring you down even more, but right now I need you."
"And you think I'm going to be around when years ago I needed YOU?! Wow, Alois! I'm not fucking stupid! Once you get what you want from me, company, then you'll leave me alone until you need me again. That shit, I don't do!"
It hurts . . . It hurts to know that he's right.
"You use people. You may have used me once, but you're not using me again, I'm sorry."
He hangs up . . .
I sigh and hold my head. How could I be so stupid?! Why'd I have to give him such a hard time? I don't know what else to do now . . . Who else to turn to.
"Who needs Ciel . . . Claude is way better." Yeah, way better.
P.O.V of Claude
"So how is Ciel?" I ask before sipping on some of my soda. Sebastian laughs and shakes his head.
"Well, he's the same as ever. Has his own opinions, adorable, stubborn." He laughs, shaking his head again. Adorable huh? He thinks Ciel is . . . Adorable. Why can't I be adorable? Does he like Ciel or something or does he just think he's like a kid kind of adorable. I'm getting too much into this.
"Oh, that's nice. So, you like him?" I can't help but ask. He gets a little flustered as he laughs nervously.
"I kind of do, but it's just because he's adorable. Just a little crush."
Oh, a little crush. Well that's nothing to worry about!
"Oh, well I think Alois is really cute too, when he's relaxed anyways." I say, trying to make us have something in common, which we actually do. No lie about thinking how Alois is the cutest thing. Sebastian smiles a charming smile and leans forward on the table.
"Have you ever . . . Thought about doing things with him?"
I grow flustered and clear my throat.
"Um, no, not really, I mean . . . Uh-"
"It's okay, Claude! You don't have to answer!" He laughs, then gives a reassuring smile.
He is really sweet . . .
