Chapter 3: Alois's Dilemma
Ciel didn't pay any mind to Alois's attempts at holding his hand. He didn't pay any mind to when Alois sat uncomfortably close. He did pay mind, however, to Alois playing around with his hair. And stroking his arm. And being a bit daring as try to touch him in...unmentionable places.
Ciel shot out the car and tried walking with a quick, yet relaxed stride up the long driveway.
" Ciel! Wait up!" Alois called.
" Ah...no! The bathroom calls! I've held it in for too long!" Ciel replied loudly.
Some of Alois's gardeners chuckled at the blunt outburst, quickly diminishing their laughter when their young master and his friend walked by.
" Oh!" Alois caught up easily to Ciel, a cunning grin slithering onto his lips as he mischievously looked at Ciel. He leaned his lips near Ciel's ear, slightly brushing them along the shell as he whispered, " You have business to take care of down there?"
Ciel shot backward in confusion and embarrassment, his face scarlet as he pointed a trembling finger at Alois.
" Y-you-! I'm doing anything like that!" he protested strongly.
" I'm kidding! I'm kidding!" Alois laughed doubling over uncontrollably. " Your face...a camera...oh God Ciel! I wish I got that on video!"
" Hmph," Ciel grumbled to himself shakily getting up and trying to brush away grass stains on his pure white shirt. With a light laugh, Alois followed his friend into his extravagant home, his countless butlers and maids greeting them heartily.
" Come on Ciel," Alois said grabbing the younger's arm. " We should go up to my room."
" Ah, um, alright," Ciel said slowly.
As Alois practically dragged Ciel up the stairs, a plan forged in his mind. He knew just how to make Ciel his, and his alone.
With an irritated sigh, Sebastian slammed down the same glass he'd been drinking from for the past hour. Or two.
" Sebastian, maybe you should-"
" That boy," Sebastian said in a shaky whisper. " I could get fired for this Claude! The way he looks at me...the passes he makes...I could well be accused of pedophilia!"
" Calm down Sebastian, we came to get your mind off of things, not make them worse," Claude placed a comforting hand on his coworker's shoulder. However, he could already see Sebastian's cheeks tainting a light pink and his eyes losing their light.
" Sebastian?"
" But you know Claude?" Sebastian said in a drawled tone. " I can't stop...thinking about him. One day...we kissed ya know? His lips...they were so soft. Innocent, no matter how bad he acts."
" Sebastian...maybe we should get you home," Claude said standing.
Sebastian looked at the empty stool where Claude had been sitting and began to sluggishly stand after staring at the empty space for a while. Unable to keep his balance, he fell forward, Claude swiftly catching and supporting his friend.
" Jeez, " Claude sighed with a slight smile, " guy never could hold his liqour."
Alois pressed his ear against the bathroom door for the thousandth time, trying to hear what Ciel might've been doing in his room. Pacing back and forth, he sighed with irritation as he took in his appearance in the mirror. Ciel wouldn't mind to much if he didn't wear a shirt right? Oh, what did it matter, he wanted to capture Ciel's heart and body as much as possible tonight.
With a jubilant throw of the bathroom door, he stepped into his room with far more of a grand entrance than was necessary, causing Ciel to jump from the sudden happenings.
" AH, Alois?"
" yes my love?" Alois asked planting himself at the side of the bed.
Ciel sighed and decided to ignore the my love from Alois. " Where's your shirt?"
" Can't a guy sleep half naked sometimes?" he asked as innocently as possible.
" Not with company over. Especially if they're sharing a bed."
Alois grinned and swung himself up to sit next to Ciel, placing a hand on his thigh in what was supposed to be a bold hint to the latter. His heart pounding in his chest, he leaned over and whispered in Ciel's ear, " Isn't that the whole point though?"
Ciel's reaction repeated itself as he scrambled on the bed in an attempt to put a fine distance between himself and Alois.
Alois laughed and got off the bed to walk towards the door.
" Where're you going you shameless pervert?" Ciel hissed clutching the sheets.
" I'm just going to lock the door, I don't want anyone to interrupt our conversation," Alois replied. A click resounded and Alois strolled back to his bed casually, sitting closer than normal next to Ciel.
" Ciel," the blonde's face morphed from light-hearted to serious. " Why do you like our teacher."
" Huh?" he stammered.
" You like him. I don't get it. Sure, he's hot, but...why?" Alois asked.
Ciel looked up, a soft smile growing on his face. " He's kind, and no matter how much of a smartass he can be, he's gentle to everyone. And he tries to help people, even if he acts like he doesn't care."
Alois's heart clenched as he watched the dreamy state take over the one he cared about most.
" Ciel."
The paler boy looked at his friend.
" Have you ever...have you ever considered me...more than a friend?"
"...You mean like...best friends?"
" Oh my God Ciel!" Alois cried in frustration. " Like boyfriends!"
" Eh?"
" Ciel! I-! I...can't...bear to watch you. the way you look at Michaelis-sensei...why him?"
" Alois?"
The blonde by now had his hand placed on Ciel's cheek, staring into the midnight blue eyes as if they were his lifeline. Quickly, he placed his lips onto Ciel's. both of them stayed silent, unmoving as Alois tried savoring the moment while Ciel tried making sense of it.
" Ciel..I want you..." Alois whispered.
Ciel's mind came to and he weakly began to struggle against his friend. Alois was leaning over Ciel at that point, sitting on his waist as he stared down at him with their noses nearly touching.
" Alois...stop it..."
Alois shook his head and pressed a kiss to Ciel's lips again.
" Why not me Ciel? Why your teacher? Why not your best friend?"
" Sebastian wouldn't do this," Ciel said in a slightly shaky voice.
" And that's why I deserve you more," Alois retorted.
Ciel gasped once Alois icy hands flitted around on his bare chest,
He removed his lips for a second and began to trace the pale column with his fingertips before kissing him gently. Ciel sat unmoving, unable to comprehend the situation as Alois drew his tongue along his neck, his nimble fingers unbuttoning his shirt. Fluttering gently across the pale boy's delicate chest, he snaked his hands suggestively lower.
" A-Alois! S-st-stop it! Seriously!"
Alois fell backward at the forceful push Ciel had given him, his eyes staring blankly at the royal purple bedding.
" I-I...I'm going home! Good night Alois!"
Alois stared at the bed with no response, the only thing making sense to him in that moment were Ciel words and the slamming of the door that broke his chance. In a heartbeat, he jumped from his bed and flung open the door, flying down the stairs in search of the one he cared for most.
" Where's Ciel? Where is he?" Alois yelled at a butler frantically.
" Master Alois, Master Ciel had lest the residence a moment ago without any reason except he wanted to go home. Shall we get him to return?" the butler said.
Alois stared at the door with heavy pain in his eyes as he whispered no. With a heavy heart full of regret, he trudged upstairs, unable to accept that he'd no chance with him.
Claude sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose in exasperation as his friend groaned about his headache. It was what, two in the morning?
Good thing it's Saturday, Claude thought grimly.
" Go on home Claude, I can take care of myself," Sebastian sighed. " I don't live far from his...park or whatever anyway."
" Are you sure I mean-"
" Bye Claude," Sebastian cut in, leaving the other man alone on the bench.
With a staggering yet steady walk, he traveled on the pavement weaving through the dimly lit area.
" Sebastian...?"
" Ciel?" The voice sounded like his and once the figure's feature were pointed out to him the dim light, he jumped to action.
" WHat are you doing out here? Why aren't you at home? Do you realize what could've happened to you?"
" What time is it...?" Ciel asked slowly.
" Almost two fifteen," Sebastian sighed and put a hand on his forehead. " I'll take you ho-"
" Sebastian...can I...go home with you?"
Sebastian stared at his student with utter confusion as to what brought this on
" Ciel, I don't think-"
" Please?" The student nearly begged. " I...I don't think I can go home...after Alois."
" Alois? What about him?"
Ciel shook his head and sighed. " Can I just...go home with you?"
Sebastian's heart leaped as an image filled his mind; of actually living with the boy in front of him.
" ...Alright. But ONE NIGHT. And don't try anything Phantomhive, that's illegal."
Ciel smirked and replied, " It's only illegal if we get caught."

Oh, and one more thing. originally, this was going to contain a lemon, but I'm not exactly sure about doing that now since FF seems to be taking down explicit stories. Maybe I'll imply it and leave it up to your imaginations how things went ne?
