Hello! It's me again! Here to present another new chapter! And speaking of new chapters, I have also updated my other story entitled "Might just love you' and it is also about Alois and Ciel except in a school setting, so I hope you check that out too and I also hope that you enjoy this chapter
"Is it that late already? There is no way I am going to make it on time." A certain dark haired Earl sighed as he pushed away his heavy Oakwood chair and stretched his stiff muscles in the process then suddenly the door burst open followed by the most annoying person that he ever had the displeasure of meeting.
"Ohhh Ciel!"
"What do you want and where is Sebastian?"
"I came to play of course!" The energetic blonde ran over to grab his arm. Ciel made a noise in disgust.
"Who gave you the authority to touch me?! Release me this instant!"
"No! I want to play!"
"Let me go! You stupid brat! Let me go I say!"
"No! No! No! I said I want TO PLAY!"
"Wh-what?" Ciel 's heart rate began to pick up. Those last two words, did he really hear it correctly? Alois's voice sounded dark and beastly...almost like a demon and then, there was a low chuckle. Ciel froze in fear as he saw the once golden turned hair turn dark until it was pitch black, long horns began to grow from either side of his head as pointed wings burst out from his purple jacket causing blood to splatter on the floor and a few drops to land on the Earl's face. Honestly speaking, Ciel would have remained paralyzed from the fear if not for the long nails digging painfully into his arm, so deep that crimson liquid began to pool from the crescent shape wounds.
"S-S—S-SE-SEBASTIAN! SEBASTIAN HELP ME! SEBASTIAN! SEBASTIAN! SEBASTIAN!"
"Ciel! Ciel! Wake up, Ciel!"
Sapphire eyes opened as he unconsciously shot up to hug the person calling his name.
"Thank God, Sebastian. My dream, it was horrible. I dreamt of that bastard, Alois."
"Hey! That's an awfully rude thing to say." The blonde (terror) answered with a pout.
"AHHHH! SEBASTIAN!"
"Yes, yes, I'm coming." A voice called back irritably.
"Hurry up! Ahh! His moving! Sebastian!" Ciel quickly made a cross with his fingers and began to pray the Lord's prayer.
"Ciel, what are you-"
"Be gone demon! Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven, Lord I am well aware that I have not lived my life for the glory of your name but if are to spare my life and protect me from this demon, I promise I will give up all thoughts of revenge, sell all my belongings, give it to those in need and become a hermit living only for the glory of your name and-"
"And are you quite finished?" Sebastian asked, looking at the two boys in confusion.
"Ohh! Sebastian! You came to save me from the demon!"
"Save you from the- what on earth is going on, Alois?"
"Ya think ah know wut going on dawg? Ah came down here minding muh own buzziness then this mofo decide ta come up an' rile ma grill, ya dig?"
"What?!" Ciel screamed. "What on earth are you trying to say you filthy piece of-"
"Woah! Hold up there ma brudda? Do ya know who ya talkin to doug? Ah ain't no bitzhes from da hood! Ah am ah mother fuckin earl so ya'll bettah start showin me some respect! Ya understand me homo?"
Ciel stared at him dumbfounded causing Sebastian to slap himself on the face. This was going to be a very, very long day.
"Alright, now the two of you listen to me. Alois, you are not some gangsta homie an we ya'll not tryin to rile up ya grill, ya understand me daug?"
Alois pouted in respond. "That was a terrible re-enactment. I sound much more genuine than that. Ya hear me brudda?"
Sebastian rolled his eyes. This was so not part of his job description. He was a model not a babysitter for demon's sake. He then turned his attention to the still frightened dark haired boy. "As for you, Alois is not a demon. He is a regular, un-unique, un-inspirational, ordinarily, annoying teenage boy..Much like yourself."
"Hey! I resent that!" Alois glared but Sebastian merely ignored him and continued reassuring the Earl Phantomive that said blonde was not going to devour his soul but he couldn't say the same for his body. (A/N: wink, wink, nah I'm just kidding.)
It took some convincing but Ciel finally managed to calm down and was now sitting rather stiffly on the bed, still weary of the blonde who decided that staring intently at him was going to help his rattled nerves.
"Now then, how about some tea?" Sebastian asked with his all too familiar fake smile.
Ciel glared but replied. "Yes, some tea would be lovely and..." Ciel stared intently at Alois's attire which happened to look like a button down shirt except without the buttons and it was purple with a picture of a girl with a strangely big head also wearing a purple ball gown.
"Have you finally found me appealing, Ciel Phantomhive?" Alois purred while giving him a wink.
Ciel scowled at the atrocious blonde. "Appalling would be a better term I believe but that is not important, what are you wearing?"
"Hmmm? What do you mean? I am wearing a Sofia the first T-shirt. Yeesshhh, and you call yourself the smart one, well I beg to differ."
Ciel, being the civilized being that he was, decided to ignore the last part of Alois's reply. "A T-shirt? Don't be silly, there are no T-shirts in 19th century England."
"Uhh..." Alois turned to the ex-butler, silently asking him for help. Sebastian let out another sigh, regretting why he didn't send Claude to deal with these two in the first place. Oh yes, that's right, it was because he was the one who wanted to save the brats from getting run over by a hoard of mindless, screaming girls and here he thought that the mighty being called by some as God would reward him for his kindness, well it seems that there is an exception for demons and what do you know, he happens to be one.
"Well...you see...ahh.." Alois began, not sure how to tell his blue eyed companion. "You are...well...how do I put it...ummm..."
"Oh for the love of - You are not in the 19th century! It is the 21st century! 2014 to be exact! Meaning it has been 138 years, 4 months and 21 days since a certain sweet and gentle woman allowed another certain sadistic and airy blue – eyed boy to be born!" Sebastian ended his rant by placing a hand on his temples, he could already feel a headache coming on and this dear readers was the very reason he decided to take a break from being a butler. He was sick and tired of being under appreciated and being treated like dirt. A demon he may be but demons have feelings too and his have been trampled on more times than he could count. This was also one of the reasons why he decided to become a model. The world loves a model with a gorgeous physique and a pretty face but Sebastian was much more that a piece of hot eye candy. He was also charming and charismatic and he had a smile that could literally launch women into a frenzy which would explain his success in his chosen field plus it didn't hurt that he also had an equally stunning boyfriend and this era was much more appreciative of some boy on boy love, yaoi and LGBT anyone?
Alright, now, enough of his self ranting, it was time to get back to the young Earl Phantomhive who was still staring at him in shock before a smirk appeared on that childish face. God, how he would love to wipe that smirk off his face, it was so infuriating! And he was off topic again. 'Focus Sebastian.' He mentally told himself.
"Are you both playing some sort of prank on me? I must admit, it is awfully cute that the two of you would put so much effort to try and trick someone as brilliant as myself but..."
And then it hit him like a thousand bricks. He finally remembered everything. The fall. The alley. The billboards. The girls. THE BILLBOARDS! It can't be! It was impossible! He couldn't be in the 21st century! No! No! No! No! No!
"Ahhh, should we poke him or something?" Alois asked Sebastian, concerned about his gapping companion who looked as if his mind had drifted of somewhere far, far away.
"No, not really, I happen to prefer him this way." He snorted in reply.
"Sebastian! How could you say that?! He may be a hand full but he is still -"
"Alright! Alright! I was only joking!... not really (*sigh*).. go on and poke him or would you prefer I dump him in the pool?" He added with a sadistic smile as a wonderfully beautiful image of Ciel struggling to swim popped into his head. Oh yes, he is a very, very evil ex-butler.
"Good idea. Ciel?" Alois called out gently as he poked him on the shoulder. "Ciel? Ciel are you in there? Come out, come out wherever you are." Alois continued his futile attempt to bring the boy out of his coma like daydreaming while Sebastian watched as his once master remain as unresponsive as ever.
The time slowly began to tick away together with Sebastian's patience. What can he say? Yes, it was true that he found the young lad attractive and the thought of doing some not so innocent things with him, preferable when he was a bit older (he didn't want to scar the boy, Ciel had way, way too much of that besides, he was nice that way) had crossed his mind more times then he dared to admit but the more time he spent with him, the more he realized how much he loathe each and every moment he was forced to endure by his side. Why? Because the brat would never, well, appreciate him! He did everything he was told to do! He cooked, he cleaned, he sowed, he baked, he made him tea, he took care of unwanted company, he did his bidding and he found him more useless servants that only added to his work! He followed each and every command and what did he get? NOTHING! Not day off, not a vacation, not a pin that said "The best butler ever". Heck, one 'Thank you, Sebastian. You have done a marvellous job.' Would have sufficed but no! The brat was too proud to even say that and, and, AHHH! This poking was driving him crazy! That's it! No more mister nice ex-butler!
"Excuse me, Alois."
"Sebastian, wait...what are you going to-"
SLAP!
"Sebastian! How could you?!" Alois wailed as he quickly pulled Ciel away from the crazy demon that had an even crazier look in his eyes.
"Ciel? I am soo sorry for that!" Alois began to explain. "I'm sure Sebastian didn't mean to hit you. He's just, uhh, stressed! Yes! You know how stressful work can be and -"
"AAHHHHH! NO! IT CAN'T BE! I HAVE GOT TO GET BACK! I HAVE A COMPANY! AND A MANSION AND! OH MY GOD! THOSE IDIOTS ARE GOING TO DESTROY MY SPLENDID MANSION!" Ciel squirmed his way out of Alois's grasp and made a mad dash out of the room.
"Ciel! Ciel! Wait!" Alois cried as he chased after the lad.
"No! Get away from me! I don't want you anywhere near me! You, you, filthy child of -"
*THUMP! SMACK! FALL! FAINT!*
"Sweet Mary and Joseph! Ciel, are you okay?!" Alois shook the unconscious boy who had a massive red bump on his head. "Sebastian! Help! Ciel! He's, he -"
"-Is going to be fine." Sebastian finished. "He has a thick skull. I knew getting a clear glass door would come in handy. Did you see that impact? It was spectacular!"
"SEBASTIAN!"
"What? Don't tell me you don't think he deserved that?"
Silence
"Not even for the way he treated you? You must have thought it was at least a little bit funny."
Alois responded by giving a small smile. "Well, maybe just a little. He was such a klutz."
"There you go! I knew you would see it my way."
"I never expected you to be...like this..."
"This being?"
"Well, sadistic I guess?"
"Psshhh, what can I say? Ciel isn't the best influence. I always thought of him as the Prince of Sadism."
"Oh but you don't hate him... do you hate him?" Alois asked slowly, giving him a fearful look and it was then Sebastian realized two things. One, Alois was not as bad as Claude described him to be. Two, he was going a little bit overboard. Three, it was time he stopped directing his anger on Ciel, the boy had enough torture as it is and Ciel wasn't the only one who didn't appreciate him and wait, didn't he say three things?
"Hate is such a strong word Alois. I would say it is closer to despise... I have a like/despise relationship with him."
"Good, as long as you don't hate him." Alois said with a bright smile. "I think we should transfer him back to the bed then?"
"Yes, that would be best. I really am not in the mood to deal with a child with a cold."
Sebastian picked him up from the floor and carried him to the bed, depositing him on the mattress and Alois was relived to note that Sebastian actually did it gently instead of just dropping him unceremoniously. Once Ciel was tucked in, the pair made their way back to the living room where a certain Claude Faustus looked up from the morning paper with a bored look on his face.
"That went well." He remarked earning him a glare from his beau causing him to raise an eyebrow. "What? He called for you, didn't he?"
"Shut it before I make you regret it, Faustus." Sebastian snapped.
"It seems someone is in his bitchy mode." Claude mumbled into his teacup before he took a sip, failing to see the vein that decided to pop at the side of Sebastian's head.
"What are you plans for today?" Alois asked, quickly changing the subject. He really did not want to hear the two bicker.
"Well, Claude and I have a photo shoot and we best be on our way if we want to be there as scheduled." Sebastian replied, glancing at his ridiculous fancy watch.
"Oh...I guess, I'll stay here then (dramatic sigh) by myself (another dramatic sigh) all alone in this -"
"Alois, would you like to accompany us?"
"Would I ever! I mean... Yes, that would be lovely, thank you Sebastian."
"Very well then, get your coat. We must leave at once."
"Wait, will Ciel be fine on his own?" Alois glanced back at the room that held the sleeping Earl.
"Yes."
"How do you know?"
"Because, I am simply one hell of a butler." He winked at Alois and the trio made their way out of the apartment leaving.
'Today is going to be a great day.' Alois said to himself as they got into the strange metal box that was called an elevator. Alois wondered why it wasn't called transporter or upper downer or two way station or the mystique box.
"Hmm... I should research that on the 'internet'" Alois thought. "Ohh! And I should also research why it is called 'internet' and not the magic encyclopaedia or the infinity book or-"
"Alois!" Sebastian called out to him while motioning for him to get in the car.
"Oh yes! I am coming!" He ran out of the elevator, pass the double doors and into the car in less than one minute. Once he was seated, he sighed and sunk into the leather that felt like butter on his skin. Who ever invented motor vehicles was brilliant!
"Aren't you enjoying yourself?" Sebastian said with an amused smile.
"Yes! Everything is just so new and vibrant and exciting! There is so much to see! Gosh! I bet I could live here for a year and still be amazed! Isn't it soooo like fabulous!"
"You really must stop watching so much television. I fear for your language."
"Fear for me? What about you? You sound just like those 'hooligans' from the movies."
"He only talks like that when he is in his bitchy mode." Claude answered only to clamp his mouth shut when Sebastian's eye twitched in annoyance. It was easy to see who wore the pants in their relationship.
"Anyway, yes my manner of speaking changes occasionally." Claude snorted at that statement but continued to remain silent. "But I assure you that I still interact in a manner befitting of a 19th century gentleman and I expect no less from you, Alois."
"That maybe so but you can't expect me to speak so prim and proper all the time. I am going to stand out horribly and as much as I enjoy the attention, I prefer the attention to be on me and not manner of speaking, thank you very much. Please Sebastian, I would greatly appreciate it if you taught me the way of the American."
"Aw.. You used please and Sebastian in a sentence...I mean, it will be my pleasure."
"Yes! Thank you! I can hardly wait! Maybe we should start right now, ma homie!"
"Oh bother, I really must remember to put the parental block on the television." Sebastian mumbled as he took out his flashy new phone and made himself a reminder.
"Sebastian?"
"Hmmm?"
"What is that?" Alois asked, pointing at the curios rectangular object Sebastian was holding.
"A cellular phone."
"A cellular phone? What does it do?"
"It can make calls and send messages and emails and so many other things." Sebastian waved his question away as he was busy checking his social media accounts. A model must always be aware of the events in the world of fashion, speaking of which, he has yet to accept the offer to be a brand ambassador of some product. What was it again? Calvin Klein? Dolce? Victoria Secret? Wait, Victoria Secret was for women ...hmmm...but he could probably pull of a corset. He had the body for it after all and -
"Great! Can I borrow your cellular phone?"
"I beg your pardon? My phone is to be touched by no one but myself and Claude, maybe."
"Please! I want to see it!"
"I'd rather not."
"Please Sebastian! Please! Please! Please!" Alois wailed as he got off his seat and grabbed the wonderful new piece of technology.
"What are you doing?! Unhand my phone at once!"
"No! I want to see it!"
"I said unhand my phone!"
"Never! It's mine!"
"Yours! I don't remember you paying for it and - "
The next thing they knew, the phone was sailing through the air, passes the chauffeur, the open door and into the pavement before it finally cracked into a million tiny pieces. There was a long pause as the pair stared at what left of Sebastian's expensive piece of gadgetry.
"Well, that was fun but I'd better get going." Alois mumbled as he quickly ran out of the car while Sebastian was still in a state of shock because he knew when Sebastian got to his senses he would be in a lot of trouble and -
"ALOIS! YOU STUPID BRAT! I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!"
And that was his signal to run even faster, thank God he was out in the open, there was no way Sebastian would kill him with all these witness around, right? RIGHT? And here he thought he was going to have a great day.
That's it! Chapter 4 posted! Chapter to 5 to still be posted and I'm sorry in advance if the characters seemed OOC especially Sebastian but I hoped my explanation of him being tired made up for that and I choose Sofia the first because I love, love, love that show! I actually wake up early everyday to watch it! And yeah, I'm way older than the supposed target market but who the hell cares! It's so much fun! Please review Till next time
