Sebastian POV

He found the perfect person. The young boy that sat next to him in Chemistry (Ciel, was that his name?) was the ideal student that Mey-Rin described. Sebastian could usually barely see what Ciel looked like, because he was always wearing a large hoodie. However, now that Sebastian got a good look at Ciel's face, he could already see that Ciel had natural beauty. His deep blue eyes simply entranced Sebastian, and he thought those could be put to good use.

That day during Chemistry, Sebastian put his plan in motion.

"Hey, Ciel, would you mind helping me with this conversion problem?" asked Sebastian in a quiet, husky voice.

Ciel stuttered out, "Uh-um sure… Sebastian… What do y-you have a problem with?"

Sebastian did not respond immediately because he realized that he had never heard Ciel talk before. Sebastian marveled at his strong English accent, which he found to be quite attractive. He was too deep in thought, and did not answer Ciel.

"Um… Sebastian? Did you need help with con-conversion?" Ciel gently inquired.

Snapping out of his response, Sebastian answered, "Oh yes, I would greatly appreciate help with this question. I apologize for that, I never realized that you had such a strong accent."

"Oh, I'm sorry!" exclaimed Ciel, though he did not seem to truly know why he was apologizing.

"No, I didn't mean to mock you or anything, I just thought it was very se- nice…" explained Sebastian.

Sebastian noticed that Ciel was blushing and fidgeting around, so he decided to lead the conversation back to where it started.

"You know what, Ciel, I think I will need help on more than one problem. You seem to be doing well in this class so far, so would you mind helping me with this during lunch tomorrow, in the library? Thanks, I will appreciate it a ton!"

The bell sounded right after Sebastian finished, and he darted out of the room, leaving a blushing, open-mouthed Ciel behind.

Ciel POV

Walking home from school, Ciel kept playing his conversation with Sebastian in his mind over and over again. When Sebastian talked to him for the first time, Ciel was so nervous, and he cringed at the thought of how badly he stuttered.

Ciel thought it was so random that Sebastian would ask for a request like that out of the blue, when the two had never exchanged words before. Ciel did not understand what this meant for their relationship. Were they considered friends now? That seemed like a request to ask of friends, but could they really become so close after only one conversation?

Lost in his thoughts, Ciel looked down and realized he was about to step on a small black kitten. Though he was a dog person, he had enough of a heart to appreciate the tiny creature for its cuteness. Ciel played with the kitten, pulling off a loose string from his clothes and tempting the cat with it. He could not suppress a chuckle as the fluffy animal rubbed against him and purred.

He was so enamored with the cat that Ciel did not hear the sound of shoes walking up to him. A deep voice sounded in his ear: "So you like cats, eh? I pegged you as a dog person, but I guess I shouldn't judge people based on only one conversation."

Ciel let out a small squeak of shock at realizing there was somebody behind him, then broke out in a huge blush once he noticed that it was none other than Sebastian.

"Well I- I actually am a dog person, but I just couldn't help playing with this kitten, it's too… cute…" Stammered Ciel. "Do you think it's lost?"

"I highly doubt it," said Sebastian with confidence.

"How do you know? It could very well be lost and trying to fend for itself, all alone right now! Would you really leave such a fragile creature to sustain itself in a world that could kill him at any given moment?" shouted Ciel, alive with memories of when his parents died and he felt all alone, before he met Grell.

Sebastian looked taken aback, simply stating, "Well, I think he'll be fine… because this is my kitten, Finny… and we're actually outside of my house right now."

Ciel looked up, and sure enough, they were standing outside of a small yet classy townhouse, where Sebastian supposedly lived. He murmured an embarrassed "Sorry for the trouble." and headed on his way back home.

Sebastian could not leave an obviously distressed Ciel to make the walk to his house on his own, so he insisted on accompanying Ciel to ensure that he would make it home safely.

Ciel could not believe that he let himself go like that in front of Sebastian, what would he think of him now? He resolved himself to not talk the rest of the walk, which only turned out to be a few blocks away. When they made it to the front door of Grell's very expensive flat, Ciel turned to Sebastian, intending to give his thanks for walking him home. He noticed that Sebastian was giving him an incredulous look.

"Is this where you live?" Sebastian asked forcefully.

Ciel gave a small nod, not knowing what to expect.

"Why do you ask?" said Ciel.

"Well… it seems that this is where my aunt lives, Grell Sutcliffe." Sebastian stated, shocked.
