"Ciel, you're gonna be late!"

Ciel sighed as he crawled out of bed, looking at the clock. 6:30AM, a half an hour before school started. He went to his closet and looked at the shirts, pulling out a blue and grey striped shirt and a simple blue miniskirt, sliding into them with ease. He walked to the mirror and flipped on his straight iron to use before he walked out. The blue hairbrush was next to his alarm clocked, so he grabbed it up and brushed it through his hair with ease.

The boy's mind began to wonder boredly as he waited for the iron to heat up enough to straighten his bangs in place, which were out of his face. "What's Sebastian's routine like? Does he even have one, or does he get up looking gorgeous? Wait, bad Ciel! He's a man, he can't be gorgeous! You do not like him like that! Well...Like what?"

He picked up the straightening iron and began to put his bangs into their proper place over his eye, still in an absent-minded thought. "Does he shower in the morning or in the evenings? He always smells nice so he has to at some point. I wonder how he looks naked..."

Suddenly, a sharp burning sensation came to his head, causing him to yelp and drop the hot iron. After a moment, he realized he'd burnt himself with it and rolled his eyes at himself. He flipped the no longer needed electronic off and sat on his bed, denying his crush on the senior to himself. Since when did he turn gay, anyways? Him, the shy, avoided little Ciel? There's no way! Even if he was...There's no was Sebastian would be to.

The teen stood and grabbed his bag, walking out of the house and avoiding the rest of his family. He didn't exactly like them...So he avoided them at all costs. Alois followed him out after a moment, catching up to the bluenette. He had on a blue tank top and jeans, complete with Nike shoes, "Hey Cici!"

"I asked you not to call me that Alois..." The cross dresser frowned, avoiding the older teen's gaze and staring at the ground, "It makes us sound like we're incestful or something."

The blonde laughed, "Me? And you? Please." He flipped his hair to the side, "I can do so much better then you. Besides, I'm into younger men, not girls." Alois smirked at his own comment. Ciel shivered slightly, knowing full on well that even if they were related, he still found the bluenette attractive. It was disturbing to him...

"See you loser!" Alois smirked as he ran off to join the large crowd of people ahead of them. The younger teen couldn't help but chuckle at his brother, he might be a stupid jock but he at least knew how to help him avoid everyone. Most people, including Sebastian, believe he's a bad guy. Honestly, the blonde's just trying to help Ciel keep his cover.

Ciel gasped as his vision went black and he felt a pair of hands over his eyes. After a moment, he relaxed a bit knowing all too well who it was, "Sebastian you idiot, you nearly killed me!" A small laugh came from behind him as the two hands moved from covering the blue orbs and wrapped around his waist, pulling him into a hug.

"So sorry, I couldn't help it," The senior spoke, "You're just so easy to scare from behind." After a moment of awkward hugging, he let go and walked with him towards the large school at the end of the currently crowded street. Several students from various schools were walking past in various directions, some waiting at crosswalks so they could go across the street to the nearby private school.

You could easily spot who was going where based on their clothes. Regular clothed teens were going to the public schools, Willow Wood High, Middle, and Elementary. Uniformed children were going to LillyLuna's School of the Gifted, one of the most expensive high schools in the world, but you could walk out with a high school diploma and two master's degrees from just a year of attending school there. The ones dressed as nuns were going to the nearby Amish school, known as the Light's School. Finally, there was the most commonly found ones that ran around in sci-fi outfits, cosplays, and Lolita. They went to the arts college, which name was shortened by most people to Alimuni's Art Academy, or Triple A Academy.

Sebastian smiled at the boy, holding his hand as they walked off the white sidewalk onto the green lush of the schoolyard. It was large, and in the corner had an old dying willow tree. The campus had various buildings spread out, bright red doors lining the buildings for each classroom. The sports field was behind the large office building, which was the only building painted white. The rest were just red brick. There were sidewalks creating a giant labyrinth to each class, but nobody ever followed them unless they were new.

They went to the large tree, sitting under its canopy of leaves as they did every morning. Most people were afraid of the rumors behind the tree, so it gave them some privacy from the rest of the school's students.

They sat in content silence as they watched the other students. Alois was flirting with his "girlfriend" Elizabeth Middleford. She was the most popular girl in the school; with so many friends she can't even have them all in one phone. A lot of people don't realize that she's a poor girl until they've been to her house, but his brother only wants her for the sex. She's a prostitute that pays high, but from the rumors, she's well worth the money.

He looked at the outdoor lunch benches, where the nerds were. That was where Sebastian hung out when he wasn't with Ciel, the group was full of extreme gamers, amazing cosplayers, and people that nobody even realized was famous. Three voice actors and two game designers were in the clique, but only a handful of people knew their true identities.

There were the emos nearby them, which was where the bluenette would easily fit in if he tried. They loved bands, boys, depression, the colour black, and had really good tastes in people. Despite the fact that most of them self harm, their actually really nice and where most of the people that aren't white hang out. Their pretty much the only group that you can be yourself and still be accepted into.

The annoying jocks were walking up to them at that moment. They thought they were better than everyone else, and Ciel was no exception to that. Their favorite activity was beating him to a pulp, or chasing him down, or blaming him for their wrong doings.

The teen clung to the older one as they walked up. Their leader, named Sohma, was an Egyptian Prince. His bodyguard was Agni, and they were usually the ones who did the most damage. The only one who could ward them off was Sebastian, which was why the girls always adored him.

"Hey losers." The tanned teen said, olden earrings glimmered under his violet hair. He had on a red tank top and gym shorts, which revealed his muscles. He smirked as he walked up, picking Ciel up off his feet and throwing against the tree with most of his strength, "Hope you missed me."

The bluenette hissed in pain as his body quickly slid down the hard bark and landed with a thud on the cool ground. This was something he wasn't used to. Usually he'd just throw punches, but apparently he was going to use a different tactic. It frightened the smaller teen, especially when the group surrounded them and began to beat on them both.

Sebastian growled, trying and failing to fight them off, "If you're going to hurt someone don't hurt Ciel beat on me!" His body was beginning to go limp from the amount of pain he was in, so he couldn't feel the damage anyways. They had stopped for a moment to ponder the option, and then the one that had hold of the freshman dropped him to the ground to join in the beating of his hero.

Ciel's eyes went wide as he watched them, then they only seemed to get wider as he seen the red orbs meet his worried ones. They closed shut, and then he one by one fought off the large, overpowering high scholars. He grabbed Ciel's wrist and they both ran off towards the back of the school.

He led them to the building that was known as forbidden. You could actually enter it, but nobody ever did since it was rumored to be haunted by the ghost of the princess of Agni. Nobody ever remembered when the rumor had started, but it's why it's the two's hiding spot.

They ran inside and locked the door. It was an old classroom, desks lining the decaying white walls. There were some cabinets that were falling apart, and overgrowth was breaking through the tile floors and covering the chalkboard. There was a large table in the middle of the room that was once used as an art table, but it hadn't been used in years since they'd found a broken gun hidden inside it. It had become their seat in the room, since it was the only thing in the room stable enough to hold their weight.

Ciel panted softly in an attempt to catch his breath while Sebastian sat down, watch him for a bit then flicking an old pencil across the room when the boy sat next to him. They sat in silence, Ciel picking at the old paint remnants on the light wooded table and Sebastian watching him. "Hey," the senior was the first to break the silence, "Can I ask you something?"

The teen nodded a little, "You can ask me anything you want to..." He seemed to be a bit more distant and off in thought. He was wondering what question he had, and about the odd butterflies fluttering in his stomach. Was his face turning pink?

"What's your opinion of me?" He looked at the boy seriously, "You've seemed so distant lately...And you always get colour in your face when you meet eyes with me." He let out a small chuckle, "You look like one of my fan girls."

That caught the boy's attention, "I am not a fan girl!" The reaction made the other laugh, but then he went silent as the bluenette began to ponder the other question. Should he be honest with him about his...crush? His family wouldn't let be together, he doesn't have any money...But then again maybe they would for once see things his way. Or he lie and claim he doesn't see the male as anymore then a friend. If he did that though, it could hurt the other...He hated the thought of hurting Sebastian. But then he wouldn't have as much of a risk to his family, or his secret...

"Sebastian, I..."
