Ciel's eyes widened as he heard those words come out of his father's butler's mouth and with the same feline smile that the teacher Sebastian does. The rain beaded onto his face and soaked his clothes, Sebastian walked over to Ciel to where he stood on the floor with his face bloody from the impact of the tree. Ciel's vision started to blur as he looked straight up at the grey cloudy sky and the rain as it poured down onto the earth, Sebastian came into view and Ciel got a better view of him.
He did indeed look a lot like his teacher except this butler version of Sebastian more Demon looking than the original because his eyes were as sharp as daggers and a strange light red/pinkish color and his teeth were sharp like a cats as he smiled.
"Who are you…?"Ciel managed to say as he lyed on the ground paralyzed.
"Sebastian Michaelis, my young lord, your father's butler."Sebastian said putting his hand on his chest as he stood right beside Ciel standing and looking down at him.
"He's dead though…and so are you…"Ciel whispered out as he was barely able to talk.
"Is that what Tanaka told you? I'm not dead; I am unable to die because I am just one hell of a butler."Sebastian said picking up Ciel and holding him in his arms as he walked up the forest to where the top of the hill stood.
"If you're not dead…then where are you now?"Ciel asked closing his eyes a bit in pain of the impact.
"Closer then you think…you are right though…"Sebastian trailed off as he looked down at Ciel and smiled sweetly.
"What do you mean…"Ciel said closing both eyes now intill having them flutter open by the contact of the ground.
"I did die with your father, but I am still alive just not a Demon. I am a teacher…"Sebastian said brushing Ciel's hair with his hand as he smiled and Ciel just closed his eyes and fell asleep.
::
Ciel awoke to be in his bed at home, he looked around to see if anyone was with him, but stopped because of a sharp pain on his forehead area where a bandage lay neatly wrapped. Ciel got off the bed and looked down at what he was wearing to find that it was his usual outfit he wears to sleep, he took the large long-sleeved collared shirt off and put on a long sleeved blue thermal and dark jeans with his converse.
Ciel opened the door to his big room and looked down the halls to find no one in sight, he went downstairs to where the front entrance of the house was and looked to find no one, and he went to the kitchen to find Tanaka making dinner.
"Tanaka, do you know who brought me home?"Ciel asked looking up at Tanaka dizzily.
"Yes, that young teacher of yours Mr. Michaelis, he's in the library."Tanaka said with a smile.
"Thank you and…" Ciel trailed and looked Tanaka in the eye. "Sebastian Michaelis was my father's butler, right?" Tanaka nodded. "And he did not die, did he?" Ciel asked looking deep into Tanaka's eyes. "No he didn't, he is well and alive, but it seems he has no memory of what happened or who he was all those years ago. Your teacher Mr. Michaelis is Sebastian your father's butler who died, but was reborn again as a human." Tanaka said seriously as Ciel just nodded and walked to the library which was upstairs not too far.
Ciel stood in front of the doors of his grand library where he had all the ancient books and book that you probably couldn't even find anywhere else. He opened the door slightly to see Sebastian sitting down on one of the Victorian couches reading a book by Edgar Allen Poe called "The Raven". Ciel opened the door all the way and walked in, Sebastian looked up to see Ciel dressed in normal clothes.
"How are you feeling?"Sebastian asked Ciel with tenderness as Ciel took a seat on the other Victorian couch in front of his.
"I'm alright. I remember everything so don't ask me if I have any kind of Amnesia. Anyway I wanted to ask you something…well more like tell."Ciel said folding his hands in his lap as he looked at Sebastian with one eye as he was wearing his eye patch.
"Do you remember having a past life?"Ciel said as Sebastian ears perked in interest. Sebastian took a sip of his tea which had been severed by Tanaka.
"I do not have any recollection of ever being alive before as I've only lived once." (A/N: YOLO) Sebastian said honestly as he set his tea back on the Victorian coffee table and on its little plate.
Ciel just looked at Sebastian and then got up and was about to leave intill Sebastian grabbed his hand as he set the book a side with the other.
"Tell me something," Sebastian said evilly with a smile as Ciel knew that tone all too well, it sent shivers down Ciel's spine and when he turned around he became nervous as he seen Sebastian face.
"What were you and Claude doing this morning? I heard in the talent show practice talking about you having an accident with Mr. Faustus."Sebastian said smiling evilly intimidating Ciel.
"I don't know what Finny's talking about, I happened to have bumped into Mr. Faustus and then I almost fell and he caught me and then I happened to find something interesting and it looked like I was staring at him. Finny's just being delusional about the whole thing, it was just a regular day."Ciel said closing his eye as he escaped his soft grasp and walked away with his back to Sebastian.
"Where are you going?"Sebastian asked with a smile seeing as the moment was over.
"To work and don't disturb me and," Ciel looked to Sebastian shooting him a glare which Sebastian just froze at.
"Why are you still here, don't you have things to do like correcting your students work."Ciel said sharply as Sebastian just sweat dropped and smiled nervously seeing as he did need to get caught up and plan the whole talent show event.
"I am simply one hell of a teacher."Sebastian said smiling at Ciel, Ciel turned around to look at him and just wondered if he really had the memories of himself as his father's butler. Ciel just turned and went up to his studies where he took care of all business privately.
As Ciel settled in the room, he looked out the window to see Sebastian leaving and give a glance back at the house with a smile; Ciel just stared at him and got butterflies in his stomach. What was happening to him? This man, this one man was making him feel so odd? Something he's never felt before. Ciel just looked away and went to work on the business of the Funtom factory and his new one in China he will be meeting a man named Lau and then he will be meeting someone who is flying from England named Matthew Edwards and his butler Claude Faustus. Ciel set the paper not really caring, but then looked back at it to read the name Lau and Claude Faustus his teacher's from school.
'Why did I ever get myself involved with this school or even this country to begin with? I could've just had a privet teacher come and teach at home or even a butler? I could've moved to France since I know fluent French? Why did I get involved with this?' Ciel just thought and then went to work.
::
Sebastian stood at his nice modern house in his office room where office supplies stood and a computer desk, he looked over students and put in grades by their names and then went to correcting work, he also started to type out the test for Ciel since they finished English so fast. Sebastian just smiled as he thought of the boy, he wondered what had got him so frightened that he struck Sebastian, Ciel probably didn't see it but Ciel actually scratched Sebastian hard on the neck and torso when he was carrying him to his car so he could take him home. Sebastian just touched the red marks and hissed a bit at the pain.
::
Ciel got up the next day to a healed forehead but a bad scab left that should go away if he didn't pick at it, he just combed his hair down like how he usually had it, so it covered it up nice. Ciel looked out his large room windows to find it pouring out side, he put on extra layer today, and he put on his long sleeved collar shirt and a small warm little jacket and a dark rain jacket that fit him perfectly and his regular dark pants and different shoes that were dark rubber to the ankle and really warm inside, a Phantomhive always has to be set for anything.
Ciel grabbed his rain protected messenger bag and put on his hood as Tanaka held an umbrella out for him as they walked to the car and drove off. As they drove Ciel thought of the business event and that he had no people to help him to treat them great, the only one he had was Tanaka, maybe he could ask Agni since he's like a butler or even Sebastian, no Sebastian is out of the question! He and Claude will be constantly glaring and making the whole mood awkward and that wouldn't get anything done, he could give it a go. What he was still wondering is how it was that Claude was a butler, that man is a teacher how could he be?
Tanaka opened Ciel's door holding the umbrella over Ciel's head as he went into the building and then left, Ciel stood in the hallway not completely soaked, but feet jus wet at the bottom he wiped on the mat right there by the door. Ciel walked to class, again came too early so no one is even in school except teachers, he found Claude in there writing down a lesson which he knew already. Ciel opened the door and walked in; Claude looked at Ciel and just stared with his calm expression as a small smile graced his lips. As Ciel sat down he realized that he probably shouldn't have even walked in, being alone with another man after what happened yesterday with him.
"Mr. Faustus…"Ciel started as Claude looked up at Ciel putting his pen down. "Do you know someone named Matthew Edwards an earl who helps out with the Funtom's company on new locations to start at or expand?"Ciel blushed a bit in embarrassment as he tried to form the words without being too high key about it. Claude took off his glasses making him look even more handsome and then looking up to Ciel with his yellow eyes and that plain stare.
"Yes I do, but why is it do you ask?"Claude asked folding his hands as Ciel just thought for a moment.
"No reason, just asking."Ciel replied as he broke their eye contact and got out a book to read since it was once early again that he had come to school.
Claude got up from his desk chair and walked over to Ciel noticing something off about him and just realized something about yesterday.
"May I ask why you weren't present at the fire drill yesterday or your teacher?"Claude asked as he looked at Ciel, with his hands in his pockets and glasses back on. Ciel had totally forgotten about the whole incident that happened yesterday with Sebastian and the dream.
"I…umm…went home early before that period, so I had no idea of Mr. Michaelis not being present during that time or even that there even was a fire drill."Ciel said innocently as he tried to form the words, Claude took his hand out of his pockets and walked to the fourth row where Ciel stood seated in the fourth seat since there were seven rows and seven desks.
Ciel looked up at his handsome teacher in wonder and hoping that he wasn't going to try anything weird like the other Sexual Harasser who seriously needed to read the School Rule on that. Claude looked at Ciel closely and noticed what he had seen earlier; he quickly pulled Ciel into his arms and moved his other free hand to brush the deep blue color of hair out of his face revealing his clear smooth forehead. Ciel just stood in shock by the whole contact that seemed familiar from that time with Sebastian, Ciel stared into Claude's yellow irises and Claude stared into Ciel's deep blue irises.
"Ah…"Ciel moaned in pain as Claude brushed his hand over Ciel's scab softly, but enough to make Ciel feel pain, Claude just flushed a bit by the wonderful sound from the boy that made him feel oddly good seeing as he was a straight man and did not find the same gender attractive or yet even a young boy.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you."Claude said as he looked back at Ciel who was just staring at Claude, what surprised Claude was that the boy did not even fight or even protest against having to be embraced by a teacher.
"What happened?"Claude asked in wonder as Ciel just looked away.
"I ran into a pole yesterday."Ciel said blushing at how dumb that made him seem. Claude noticed how red the boy got just from him saying that.
"What were you running from?"Claude asked with a smile tugging at his lips as he pressed the boy's body closer to his and brought his face closer to his. Ciel could feel Claude's hot breath on his face it smelled of sweet tea that he had often drank which gave more evidence of him being a butler. Ciel couldn't figure out what he should tell him without being so obvious that he and Sebastian were together, but looked away from his icy stare that seemed to pierce into him. Ciel was about to say something intill he heard the door open to reveal Finny who held some gardening pots and his bag over his shoulder.
"Ciel I wanted to ask if you'd like to visit the schools green house with me. Come on, school doesn't start intill like another hour."Finny said as he looked up to Ciel and Claude who were embraced and all Finny could see was Claude broad back and Ciel's small arms and little head.
"Sure, I'll be right there."Ciel said as he loosened away from Claude who kept his back to the other happy student who was so clueless.
::
"Sorry about that?"Ciel said innocently as he helped Finny with some of the planets (Not exactly knowing what to do).
"Did you fall or something?"Finny asked happy go lucky as Ciel nodded and wiped his dirt hands on a rag as he looked to his pocket watch and began to clean up.
"Class is going to be starting soon. Let's go."Ciel said as he began running with Finny at his side back to class, even though Class wasn't going to be starting for another 30 minutes or so.
"Ciel you lied."Finny complained as he tried to regain his breath as the two seated themselves in the class.
"I am a Phantomhive I have to be ahead of my game in order to guide my pawns."Ciel said as he took out a book and read.
"Pawns? This isn't chess."
::
Ciel finished math and all the other classes fast and stood in his second to last period fencing which he loved about the whole school; he met up with Agni who smiled at the young Phantomhive.
"It's nice to see you are well Phantomhive."Agni smiled to the young boy who took off his helmet for a short break with Agni who took off his as well.
"I was wondering do you think you could be my butler for just one day."Ciel asked as Agni scratched his chin.
"Sorry but I can't, the prince Soma is going to visit an earl for his admiration to the Funtom company, you Mr. Phantomhive."Agni said as Ciel just blinked and tried to remember Soma the son of that Indian family, he'd never met him, but was told he was very polite but carefree in his Indian ways.
"Well thanks anyway Agni…looks like I have to ask the Demon."Ciel muttered and put his helmet back on and began to Fence again.
::
Ciel went into the showers after fencing and got dressed and ran to Sebastian's homeroom which was all the way on the other side from the Gym he was coming from, he tried not to slip as he ran across the large open area to his last class, he really didn't want to be late and hear Sebastian's bullshit on being late. Ciel really didn't want to fall in the rain so he took his time but ended up slipping from that damn shoelace once again and hurt his knee even though he was wearing pants.
"Are you alright Ciel?"He heard someone say as he looked up to see Claude with a sort of worried look on his face, Ciel nodded in assurance as he arose but fell into Claude's arms.
"I'm sorry, my shoelace."Ciel said as he looked down to his shoelace and was about to stop and tie it intill Claude picked him up in his arms.
"Here, so don't have to walk through the rain, I'll take to you class."Claude said as he guided Ciel to the main building where Sebastian stood waiting for Ciel.
::
Sebastian heard the door click and then open to reveal Ciel and Claude, but what irked Sebastian was the sight of Ciel being in Claude's arms.
"Sorry I'm late. I fell."Ciel said as he looked to Sebastian and then to Claude who put him down and let an evil smile slip to Sebastian who just glared at him, this was about the second time today Ciel had been embraced by the handsome plain man, and Sebastian knew about this morning thanks to Finny.
"I see. Well take a seat; we need to get started on your next subject, Math."Sebastian said seriously as he was infuriated with the teacher, he wasn't gonna take Ciel.
"Sebastian are you angry?"Ciel felt like teasing him as he settled back in his chair.
"Actually since you ask, I am in fact, I have this lesson for you in Advanced Math and it looks like we're not going to get it done in time, I guess I'll just use your time."Sebastian said with an evil smile signaling that he's going to go to Ciel's house and bring the lesson there, which Ciel really didn't need today, he was having important people over like…WTF!
"I'd rather not have…you…"Ciel whispered under his breath as he sat down and wrote down the lesson thinking about the welcoming party.
::
Ciel stood home lying on his bed looking up at the ceiling, he sighed, and got dressed into his original Victorian fashion which was a black outfit, he oddly liked the color black. Ciel brushed his hair and bangs to the front not wanting anybody to see his scab, he looked himself over in the mirror and nodded as he went to put his shoes on and took off to his business room where he studied over his lovely guests.
Tanaka stood down stairs in his human form setting up the dishes and telling the chef they had what to cook and make which was blonde haired man with blue eyes and a cigarette in his mouth, if anything he looked like he didn't even know how to cook. Ciel had Finny over who was setting the garden and plants to absolute perfection and then his old maid he had from England Mey rin who took a awhile to get here.
A knock came to the door and Mey rin quickly went to open and blushed at the sight of the man before her who was devilishly handsome, Mey rin just stood jaw dropped.
"Hello, I'm Ciel's teacher, Mr. Michaelis and who might you be?"Sebastian said with the most gorgeous smile he could pull and Mey rin just had a nose bleed and ran away closing the door and rushing to Ciel's office.
"Sir, there's a man who wants to see you."Mey rin's accent was strong and Ciel sighed knowing who it was, since she was breathing hard and still had blood oozing out of her nose.
Ciel opened the door for Sebastian to walk in, as he closed the door and looked to his pocket watch, already 6:00 p.m, the guest would be arriving at exactly 10 after 8 sharp and Ciel had absolutely no time to bull shit with Sebastian seeing as Lizzy his fiancé was coming too at god knows what time, she could already be in his house.
"Come, Sebastian."Ciel said putting his pocket watch away and going up stairs guiding Sebastian to his Library since he didn't want him being in his office.
"Sebastian I honestly don't have the time right now to do you lesson, I am going to have guests over this night, who are very important to my business."Ciel said as he settled on the Victorian couch.
"Aren't you a little young to have a business?"Sebastian questioned as he set his files aside.
"No, but since I can't do your lesson why don't you make yourself useful and be my butler for tonight."Ciel said as Sebastian just lifted an eyebrow.
"Black Butler?"
