Chapter 4: Fairytales
I always wanted to be out of everyone's sight. To disappear so that people will never notice me.
Dirty, a dirty child.
Mother, Father… Why did you leave me?
Gruesome and unclean.
I went searching for you while people looked at me as if I was a pile of trash.
Unsightly rags.
Fire, all I remember is fire.
Dirty.
Let me disappear…
XxXx
"You got to be kidding me" Ciel sneered as he glared at this partner of the week, Sebastian Michaelis, "the college students are going to stay here? In the orphanage? Over night?"
"Ah… It seems like it was my responsibility to tell you this but it completely slipped from my mind" Sebastian stated with a smirk and a shrug which caused Ciel to feel the need to slap the man.
"Slipped from your mind? Slipped from you mind!" Ciel shouted as he glowered at him, "how can something like this just slip from your mind?"
"Well we have the rest of the day free Ciel, what would you like to do?" Sebastian asked as he completely ignored Ciel's previous remarks.
"Were you even listening to me?"
"So what do you do in your free time Ciel?" Sebastian continued, again ignoring Ciel.
"You idiot! Are you deaf?"
"Yes I can clearly hear what you are saying Ciel and honestly it grates my sensitive ears because of your foul language. An intelligent boy like you shouldn't be using such language."
Ciel then smirked at Sebastian as he crossed his arms in front of him. "Oh? You think the word 'idiot' is foul? What then? Shall I use more foul words? I know tons. Like the word which starts with the letter 'F'."
"You better not let my patience run thin you little brat" Sebastian said through a forced smile as he felt a sudden desire to strangle the boy.
"Fine…then I will go to the library and read. You better not disturb me." Then with that Ciel turned to leave the large hall where people started to leave for their chosen activities for the rest of the afternoon.
Sebastian quickly followed Ciel and walked alongside him. Then as they walked along the halls of the orphanage, Sebastian noticed different colored doors with nameplates carved on them. The first door read, "Elizabeth" which was painted a lovely pink. The next door read, "Alois" which was painted purple while the next door read "Soma" which was light yellow.
Suddenly an idea popped in Sebastian's head which made him smirk once again.
"Ciel can I ask you a question?"
Ciel did not reply therefore Sebastian continued, "What is your favorite color?"
"My favorite color? Why are you asking me this?" Ciel asked as he turned his head towards the college student with suspicion.
"Ah! How amusing, now I have caught your attention? Well its simple, I'm just curious."
Ciel who found no harm in this question answered, "Well my favorite color is cerulean blue…"
Suddenly Ciel's eyes widened in surprise as if he remembered something really important. Then he turned his head towards Sebastian who was smirking at him as if he had just won a lottery.
"Shit!" Ciel exclaimed as Sebastian sprinted down the hall.
"See you at your room Ciel!" Sebastian shouted as he gave the awed Ciel a small wave.
Sebastian ran through the halls gracefully until he found a door that was painted cerulean blue. Before catching his breath, he looked up to find "Ciel" carved into the wood in cursive letters. Then Sebastian opened the door and walked in… well not exactly.
He tripped into the room.
He clearly didn't see the string that was strung at the entrance of the door, resulting in Sebastian tripping and falling into Ciel's room with a loud thump!
Then before Sebastian can recover, he heard the bedroom door shut and the lock click in place, trapping Sebastian inside Ciel's bedroom.
"That little brat."
XxXx
It didn't take Sebastian that long to escape Ciel's bedroom. It only cost him a broken window and that was all. As Sebastian muttered swear words under his breath he searched for Ciel to punish him for tricking him. Sebastian knew that the boy was smart but he never thought that he would make Sebastian fall so easily into the boy's traps.
And also there were some things he wanted to talk with Ciel…
After some time searching for Ciel, Sebastian couldn't find him anywhere. But as he was walking around the garden, he found Ciel squatting down near the edge of the forest.
Sebastian smirked as he slowly approached the ignorant boy who seemed to be immersed in something. Then like a cat, Sebastian pounced on the boy causing the both to yelp as they both tumbled into a hole, a hole Sebastian clearly was ignorant about.
"Ouch" Ciel winced as he rubbed his head.
"Why is there a hole here? And why were you sitting in front of it?" Sebastian hissed as he tried to sit up from their tangled mess.
"We wouldn't have fallen into the animal trap if you didn't suddenly pounce on me!" Ciel hissed back as he tried to push Sebastian away from him.
As soon as they were sitting across from each other in the narrow trap Sebastian looked up and examined the deepness. "Even though you stand on my shoulders I don't think you can get out. And well, I don't trust you."
With this remark Ciel snorted as he rolled his eyes slightly.
"I think they won't come find us until dinner time so shall I tell you some fairytales to pass the time?"
"Tch, I hate fairytales and I know none of them."
"Really?" Sebastian asked as he raised his eyebrows. "Then I have a question for you."
Ciel suddenly sat up straighter as he looked at Sebastian seriously. Ciel was up for anything; a game, a story, a question, or even a small chat was fine. Anything was fine as long as it calmed his nerves.
"What all fairytales have in common?"
"They are all fictional" Ciel answered confidently as if his answer was the most obvious answer in the entire world.
"Why Ciel, I expected more from you…how disappointing. No, the answer is that all fairytales have happy endings."
"Ha! Yeah right. What about the Little Mermaid?"
"Ah! So you do know fairytales!" Sebastian exclaimed mockingly as he gave the now blushing Ciel a large smirk.
"Shut up!"
"Then here is another question for you. Are you Cinderella or the Little Mermaid?"
Ciel looked at Sebastian, clearly confused with the question. "What the hell are you talking about?"
"Meaning will you disappear or will you remain here, forever, happily ever after?"
"Why are you suddenly asking me these things?"
Suddenly Sebastian narrowed his eyes as he grabbed Ciel's face. He pulled the boy close until their faces were only an inch apart. "Listen here you brat" Sebastian hissed as he peered into Ciel's large midnight blue eyes, "you want to disappear like the Little Mermaid? Because I won't let you disappear so easily."
"What the hell are you talk-"
But Ciel was interrupted because Sebastian covered Ciel's mouth with his hands as he gave him a disapproving look.
"Now just shut up and listen to my fairytale."
