Weeellll It's been a few months but I finally have my new chapter . Sorry for the long wait. I was stuck. I'm still not entirely sure of the direction of this story. But I'm sure I will find it soon. ^^
I hope you all enjoy this update.
Please review and tell me your thoughts. I appreciate them all :D
I told myself that I had expected the type of guest that he would bring. She could have easily fit the description, but somehow, I was more shocked than I had anticipated. This large breasted beauty, Beast, arrived arm in arm with the man I wanted. All I could do was stare, mouth agape. Like the same stupid fish I was back at the coffee shop just days earlier. The music that played through the house became a dull noise in my ears, but only for as long as the moment lasted. Which in my opinion, was far too long. Our eyes met and locked. In reality, this had only lasted for under 10 seconds, and by knowing this, I knew that tonight would indeed, be a long, long night.
Alois abruptly snaps me out of the trance that I fell into. He smacks my shoulder and leans in to whisper quickly, "Remember your game plan Ciel." Oh right. What was I doing? I can't step down before the game has even begun.
I plaster a bright smile on my face and welcome them into my home. "It's great to see you again, Sebastian." I turn to the other man before he has a chance to reply. "I'm glad I get to officially meet you, Claude. I didn't get the chance to get acquainted with you the first time." He nods in reply and lets me know he's glad too with a goofy looking grin. I finally move to face the woman stuck on my soon-to-be man. "And who might this lovely lady be?" I reach out and take her hand, in which I kiss in greeting.
She blushes at the action and introduces herself as "Beast." What kind of name is that? Maybe she really is a whore he picked up on the way here. I continue to smile, "What a charming name to fit such a charming woman. My name is Ciel. Please do come inside." They make their way in and are quickly greeted by everyone. Claude's face lights up when he sees Alois and sticks to his side while he's being introduced. Beast is still clinging to Sebastian like she's been glued in place, unable to leave. I decide I may as well keep to his other side then.
I grab everyone's attention and speak up. "Men and ladies! Meet Claude." He awkwardly waves in greeting. "And this is Sebastian and his... friend, Beast. Now that we are all here, let the drinking begin!" Once my mini speach in done, Grelle appears. Oh no. He better keep his paws off. I already have this bitch to deal with.
"Hiiii~ I'm Grelle." He puts out a hand to shake while thoroughly looking Sebastian over.
"Hello. I'm Sebastian." The smile he wears is enough to make anyone's heart melt. Great...
Unfortunately, Grelle is the first victim. "Oh my oh my. You are quite the hottie! But I bet you already knew that." The red-head sends him a wink. "How about we get something to drink." He blatantly ignores the woman on Sebastian's arm.
"I'm flattered but I think I'll have to pass on that offer." With another flash of his smile, Grelle gives in and lets it go. While he's turning to walk away, I make sure he catches the glare being shot at him. He snorts in reply and walks off to find his boyfriend. I should have listened to Alois, but I would never admit that out loud.
Now that one disturbance is gone, we comfortably find a seat on the couch, with Sebastian placed in between me and Beast. "I'm actually a bit surprised you showed up. I thought Alois was joking when he said you were coming with Claude." And I was also wishing that you bringing this woman was a joke too...
The dark haired man smirks at me. "Well it seems like Claude really wanted to come and he so kindly asked me to tag along. What kind of friend would I be if I left him to fend off the likes of your type by his self?" I now realize that his smile is fake and he really didn't wish to come.
Smack!
"Sebastian, don't be rude! Quit acting like some homophobic pussy." Beast finally lets go of his arm. We both look to the woman a little dumbstruck that she finally spoke up.
"Umm it's alright. He's called me much worse things before..." In hopes of things going in my favor, I act as the victim, pouting a little for show.
She grabs the man in the middle by the chin and forces him to be face to face. "Did you really?!" He tries to look away, looking like a kid who got caught taking something that wasn't his. "Sebastian Michaelis! Answer me." He continues to avoid looking into her eyes and she finally lets go with a sigh.
He suddenly stands. "I'm going to get something to drink. Would either of you like something?" He refuses to look directly at either of us. Is he pouting now?
I speak up first. "Hmm... Just get me a Blue Moon Seasonal. Please and thank you." I shoo him off before I realize that Beast didn't get a chance to tell him. "Oh my goodness, he forgot to ask what you wanted. Want me to go tell him?"
She moves over to sit closer so she can hear over the music. "No it's alright, I don't have to tell him for him to know what to get me." She smiles to me kindly. Subconsciously, I frown in response. It bothers me that they're close enough to not even have to ask to know what the other wants... The woman notices my discomfort. "Oh hun, don't worry over something so silly, you see, I'm just Sebastian's -." Beast is cut off by a hand over her mouth.
An angry Sebastian glares at her and throws his words harshly. "You better keep your mouth shut. You promised you would." She silently rolls her eyes and glares back in return. He slowly moves his palm away and picks up a bottle opener for my beer.
"Fine. But it's not like it's a big deal if he knows or not. Aren't you being a little much?" She grabs the only glass that isn't a beer and sips it.
After popping off the cap which falls to the ground, he hands a drink to me. "Wow, of course you take the PBR Sebastian. Hipster." I roll my eyes, mumbling the last bit to myself. I'm sure they both caught it though since I earned another glare from Sebastian and a giggle from Beast. "So, lovely lady, what are you drinking?" I smile sweetly. I notice myself actually thinking more fondly of her. Maybe she'll prove to be less of a nuisance than I thought too.
"It's gin and tonic. I love this stuff. Wanna taste?" She holds out the cup to me.
"Wow this stuff is bomb! Sebastian, make me one of those!"
He gives me a look as if I'm joking. "I'm not your butler, you can get off your ass and make one yourself."
"Uhh, I would if I knew hooow. Come on. The one you just made is great. Pretty please." I beg and bat my eyelashes at him. It would work on any person, right?
"Gross." He frowns at me but none the less gets up and goes to the kitchen again to return with another drink. "You better drink all of it." He takes his seat and appears to be pouting again.
I move over to Beast and whisper in her ear. "What the hell is wrong with him? Who comes to a party and then just pouts?" She giggles and nods.
"He's just upset that I didn't follow through with sticking to him like a pet. It's not like I'm his girlfriend. He's just playing childish games."
My eyes widen at this. They aren't dating? Wheeew. That's a relief. "Really? Then are you both only just friends?"
"Hmmm... Something like that. I don't know what's really got into him though. He's never acted so bratty to anyone before, be they man or woman. I actually think he might have a crush on you. How he's treating you is just like a child, pulling on the pigtails of the girl he likes."
This also shocks me. "Really? No way, you're just teasing. He's already told me countless times that he's' straight." I playfully slap her shoulder.
"No, really. How about this. I have an idea. Let's get everyone to play a drinking game. I'm sure something fun is bound to happen." She wiggles her eyebrows at me.
I think about it for a moment. Well I don't really think it will be this easy to get him chasing after me. But alcohol is involved, so that leaves everything up in the air. Plus, I don't even know why this woman would be helping me. Especially if Sebastian is the one she came here with. Oh well. I'll get Alois in on this. He's the master of these type of games.
While I'm off finding Alois, Beast brings Sebastian a few more cans to drink. Hehe, I like her thinking. I smirk to myself. Right then, I find Alois, clinging to a tipsy Claude. Oh my.
"Hey yo' bitch!" I pounce on the small blond and finish speaking my words into his ear. "So that woman who came with Sebastian is actually going to help me out."
He turns to face me. "For reals? Well I guess that makes sense. Claude told me something about her. But I don't think I'm going to tell just yet." He sticks his tongue out at me.
I raise my eyebrows at him. "I'll bite it." I threaten and he instantly pulls it back into his mouth.
"Hmph. So what is she going to do to help?"
"She said we should all play some drinking games." I smirk.
"Oooh she did? That sounds like a wonderful idea." He grins back mischievously. "I have just the game in mind."
"Which one?" I ask curiously.
"'I Have Never' should be perfect."
"Oh man I remember that game. So brutal. Let's do it!"
I run over to my laptop and turn down the music a bit before climbing up to stand on the coffee table, catching everyone in the rooms attention. "So who wants to play a drinking game tonight?" I grin widely, hoping to persuade everyone to join.
Grelle of course is the first one to say something. "Only if it's a good one. I suck at beer pong so I swear it better not be that."
I roll my eyes. "No Grelle, we aren't playing beer pong. Let's play 'I Have Never'!"
Lizzy is the next to say something. "Oh God. Not that game. It's soooo embarrassing for a lady." She blushes and glances at Finny. The blond boy quietly grabs her hand and tells her she will be alright. Her blush doesn't disappear but she's visibly relieved.
"Ooookay. So no objections? Good. Everyone grab a drink and sit your arses down over here." I swing both my drinks through the air for show. I briefly wonder if there's some sort of rule about not drinking beer and hard liquor at the same time, but the thought is lost as I look down from where I stand. Crimson eyes are staring at me, slightly glazed. I observe the floor by his feet and it appears Beast had encouraged him to already have two more beers on top of the first. I raise my eyebrows in surprise, which the man watching sees.
"What?"
"Oh nothing. I just was noticing the three cans you've already downed in the short time I was away."
"Mhmm..." He continued to stare at me, his glance occasionally wandering lower.
"You seem distracted." I tease. "Do you like what you see?" I jut out my hip, a smirk in place.
"Like? No. Never. Don't kid yourself. I was just wondering why you're dressed like a male hooker." He returns the smirk, if not a better one.
"Well for not liking it, you seem to not be able to take your eyes off me. I think you're the one fooling yourself." With no reply to my comment, I look around. All my guests and house mates have gathered around.
An obnoxious voice sounds out. "Alrightyyyyy! Who wants to go first? Oh. Nobody? Then allow me." I snugly place myself on a couch between Sebastian and Beast. Alois takes his turn to climb up on the living room table. Claude is standing nearby, looking amused and tipsy as ever. Mey Rin, Bard, Finny and my Aunt Liz have found spots on a sectional sofa across from us. This leaves Grelle and his new boyfriend Will cuddled on a petite love seat under a grand window sill, off to the side.
"Here I goooo~ Everyone better be ready. Never have I ever... had sex at a school." We all look around to see if anyone has taken a drink.
"That's a surprise. I would've thought you've done that by now, Alois." I chuckle, not taking a sip.
"Well I never said I didn't try." He shoots a wink. "Well anyone? No lying here."
To everyone's surprise, the first person to take a drink is Mey Rin; Followed by Will, Claude, and Beast.
"No way Mey! Even you've beaten me to it? So unfair..." Alois pretends to pout but quickly moves on. He glances towards the golden-eyed man and smirks, seeming pleased that his potential lover leans more to the daring side of things. "Okay so next is..." He spins around on the table with a hand pointed out like an arrow. "Sebastian! You'll be next." The hyper blond jumps off the furniture to lean against the armrest of the sectional.
The buzzed, crimson-eyed man arches his eyebrows as if to show he's shocked but the rest of his features stay calm and collected. "I guess it's my turn then. Let me have a moment to think." He swishes around his forth can of beer. "Alright, Never have I ever kissed someone of the same gender." He locks eyes with me briefly before looking around to see who drinks. To my amusement, everyone in the room besides him, Claude and Bard, take a drink.
"Oh my gosh, Finny! You have?" Lizzy asks in surprise.
The shy boy blushes. "Well only once when I was drunk... But you also have kissed another girl."
"Yeah but it's normal for girls to kiss other girls. Isn't that right Mey?" She looks to the other.
"Of course it is." The burgundy-haired woman states proudly. "It looks like even Beast has done so."
The woman besides me giggles. "Yes, I have. I guess it is a common thing."
Finny shapes an "O" with his mouth in understanding.
"It's my turn now." I smirk, turning to Sebastian and holding our gazes. "Never have I ever given someone a blow job." He cocks an eyebrow, breaking the hold of my stare, glances down to my lips, then looks away.
"Now I find that hard to believe." He mumbles in a barely whisper.
"No way Ciel! Even I have done that!" Alois throws in.
"Well of course you've done that. So have I." Grelle takes a bold drink and grossly winks at his lover beside him. This time only the woman in the room, along with the aforementioned, took a drink.
"Hmm so now I have to choose something." Beast says half to herself. The room waits quietly while she thinks. "Never have I ever... gone streaking. Although I've considered it." She chuckles.
"Well that's a relief." Sebastian rolls his eyes.
Bard slyly takes a drink. "It's not too bad."
"Oh God, Bard. I feel bad for any person who had to witness that." Mey Rin slaps the back of his shoulder. The scruffy man grunts and crosses his arms in offense.
The game continues around to Grelle. "Oh goody, it's my turn now. I have a good one. Never have I ever kissed someone in the rain. Oh, it sounds so romantic. I really wish I can someday." Not a single person takes a drink. "Really? No one? How disappointing." He frowns in loss. "William, now you go."
The man claims to never have tried smoking a cigarette. The entire room drinks to this. Grelle blabbers on about his boyfriend deciding on a good topic but is thankfully cut off by the next person, Mey Rin. "Never have I ever given someone a lap dance. Anyone?" This time, me and Alois take drinks.
"Cieeel cheers!" We clink our cups together and down the rest.
"Alois, I'm never surprised about any of the things you do."
"Well I'm not surprised by you either." The blond is now sitting on the floor cuddled up to a flushed Claude.
"Like I care." I roll my eyes. "Sebastian, would you be a doll and make me another one of these?" He grunts in response and slowly gets up, swipes the glass from me and walks off to the kitchen once again. I follow behind him.
"Yo Ciel, bring me another bottle of Blue Moon while you're up." Bard calls from the other room.
"Fine. Anyone else need more to drink?" I offer. A few others respond. I gather the requests and leave them on the counter. Making my way over to Sebastian, I watch him grab bottles to make my gin and tonic. "Show me how to make it this time." I edge my way closer.
He audibly sighs. "It's not hard. Just 2 oz. gin and 5 oz. tonic water. You can't get much simpler than that." He's focused more on what he's making rather than giving any notice to me.
"Hmmm. You're right. Even I could've done that much. Do you like gin and tonic?" I inquire.
"It's not bad, I prefer Gentleman's Jack Whiskey though."
"Oh? That sounds good. I'd like to try that."
"Well it looks like we brought some."
"Lucky me. Give me a shot." I grab two small shot glasses from the cabinet and place them in front of him. "Here." He pours the dark alcohol into the cups up the the brim. Once finished, he puts the glass bottle back along with the others and hands me my shot. Never once does he look at me while doing this. I narrow my eyes as if trying to see through his actions. This is odd. I was expecting the alcohol to open him up more, not make him dull. I guess I'll just have to try harder. I smirk. "Sebastian, do you drink often?"
His eyes become a shade darker. "Not really." His sentences are short and straight to the point.
"And why is that?" I slowly move closer. He's leaned against the counter.
He glances at me from the corner of his eye but continues to avoid contact. "Just because." He suddenly takes his shot, slamming it back onto the counter top, gripping at it. I mimic his action and set my glass to his opposite side. The distance narrowing furthermore.
"I see. I don't drink all that often either. I was just noticing how much more tame you've become tonight." I try to catch his gaze, but he still refuses me. How stubborn.
"Tame?" He repeats, his tone sounding dazed.
"Yes, tame. Like, we would argue every time we met before and now you're leaning not entirely towards friendly, but obedient. Like a dog." His nose scrunches up at the last word.
"I don't like dogs. Cats are much more suitable creatures."
"I'm allergic to cats. But that wasn't my point." He's sly. Trying to change the topic. "I was just wondering if it was the effects of alcohol making you act this way or if you had a change of heart." I smile sickeningly sweet, edging myself closer still.
"Definitely not a change of heart if you're referring to becoming gay. And why does it matter if I decided to not bicker like children with you?"
"You're right. It doesn't matter. But like I said before, I was just wondering. But now I'm curious. How does alcohol effect you when you consume too much?" By now, our chests were nearly touching. Heat was emanating from his body, and I could feel my own warmth spreading through mine.
Finally making eye contact, his eyes were darker than ever. He leans down just enough for his lips to hover by the shell of my ear, his breath tickling. "I become anything but 'tame.'"
