Chapter 7

He smiled and nodded, following the man closely. "So I'm going to be shoved into a room with some dogs..? Can't I watch you work..? Help you or something...?" He whined, pleading the man. "I love dogs and all.. But.. I'd much rather be with you..." The boy confessed, his cheeks flooding with a blossomy pink.

"I just don't want you to get bored while I work. My work is really boring for someone who doesn't know what I do." Sebastian chuckled. "You can be with me if you want, then." He caressed the boy's cheek as they entered the building. "I'll take the chance to introduce you to some of my employees. They're great people."

"Okay!~" He smiled broadly, gripping the mans hand tightly. "I can help you or something~" He murmured before pulling the man down and whispering in his ear. "Did my photographer make you jealous...?"

Sebastian grinned. "Yes, I have to admit that I was jealous. It's as if everyone wants a piece of you." He chuckled, not wanting to show a serious expression to Ciel. "And I liked the way you told him to stop. It made me really happy." With a smile on his face, he guided the boy into the elevator.

"Uh.. I'll take the stairs..." He replied, stopping the man from taking him in the elevator. That was one thing. The boy was terrified of elevators.. But he wouldn't tell Sebastian. He quickly shook his hand out of the others and took a few steps back. "Which floor? I'll walk!"

"Hey, come here," Sebastian said kindly and pulled Ciel into a tight hug. "We can take the stairs if you want, but it's on the last floor. Are you willing to climb twenty three flights of stairs?"

He nodded eagerly. "Of course!" He blurted out, panicking for no reason, all he could think about was being dragged into the elevator.

He gazed at the boy for a moment. "Okay." He smiled, taking Ciel's hand again, and opened the door next to the elevator. "Tell me if you get tired. I'll carry you if for as far as I can, alright?" Sebastian took a deep breath and started their journey of climbing twenty three flights of stairs.

He nodded slowly and began walking up the flight of stairs. He gazed down at his feet as he walked, he was already tired though he was only on the 3rd floor. "You should get in the elevator.. I'll meet you at the top."

"No way, Ciel." Sebastian leaned down, picked the boy up bridal-style, and went up the staircase. "Don't worry, I won't leave you here by yourself and you don't have to take the elevator if you don't want to."

He gazed at Sebastian, frowning through his blush. "Hey.. You don't have to carry me.." He murmured, wrapping an arm around Sebastian's neck.

"If you don't want to use the elevator, you just won't." Sebastian took a breath and rested his arm and hand under the boy's bottom. "Sorry, but this is the best way to carry you." He chuckled slightly.
By the fifteenth floor, he put Ciel down and leaned on the wall. "I can't sweat," he panted slightly. "Good thing I always have a spare change in my office. And it's not for what you might be thinking. I just have my assistant accidentally pouring tea on my shirt sometimes. That Alois is so clumsy."

"Alois..?" He questioned, walking up to the man and fixing his hair. "Look.. I'll walk, okay?" He tugged the mans sleeve. "Theres no point in struggling."

"Yes, he's just an intern, but he seems to always act clumsy around me," he answered. "I've seen him work perfectly around his coworkers, so he must have a problem with only me or something." He leaned away from the wall and nodded. "Okay, you'll walk for a while. When you get tired again, just let me know. We're almost there anyway. And when we have to come down, it'll be easier."

He scowled at the thought of Alois. He'd make sure to make his presence known. He began climbing the steps again, hiding as best as he could that he was growing tired quickly, his little legs trying to keep up with Sebastian's huge strides. "Hey.. Slow down a bit.. Kay..?" He panted, his cheeks flushed a soft pink.

Sebastian looked over his shoulder and continued his way at Ciel's pace. "Sorry, I just feel a bit lighter." He gazed at the boy's cheeks. "We just reached the twentieth floor. Just three more. Do you want me to take you the rest of the way?" He pressed a quick kiss to Ciel's lips. "I just had to. You look so cute with pink cheeks." He smiled and caressed the boy's cheek.

He looked away, his cheeks darkening in colour. "Stupid.." He muttered as he wheezed. "One moment.." He murmured, leaning against the wall, reaching into his white satchel and taking out his inhaler. He shook it a few times before opening it and inhaling the medicine. He paused for a few moments longer before smiling slightly. "Okay.. Lets continue.."

"Oh, you have asthma?" Sebastian asked and shook himself. "You don't have to say anything. Save your breath until we reach the top." He took the boy's hand to help him. They were alone, which had been exactly what he wanted. But he couldn't bring himself to take advantage of the situation.

He squeezed the mans hand and continued climbing the steps. He should've just let Sebastian take him into the elevator. He stayed close to the older man. Everything was silent, except for their foot steps and the deep breaths.

Finally, they had reached the last floor. Sebastian let his head fall backwards and closed his eyes for a moment, panting. "This is what I get for stay seated for far too long." He looked at Ciel. "Are you alright? I'll get us some water and I don't mind lending you some of my clothes. Sometimes I even sleep at the office, so I brought plenty to wear. It would look big on you, though." He smiled and opened the door. The ones who were walking back and forth with papers and carts with different drinks, stopped and stared at both of them.

The boy blinked and stared back at them. Was it him? He gulped, and just like a shy kitten took refuge behind Sebastian's arm. "What are they looking out..?" He whispered quietly, realising that practically the whole room full of people were staring right back at them both.

"They're just appreciating your cuteness, of course." Sebastian chuckled.
Bard approached them, looking rather surprised. "Are you... Ciel Phantomhive? That famous model? What are you doing here?"

The boy sighed in relief, nodding. "I'm here with Sebastian." He cleared his throat and covered his blushing cheeks with his hands. "Sorry for disturbing you."

"You're not disturbing anyone," Sebastian said, smiling as usual.
Bard tilted his head. "Boss... you smile?"
"Of course I do," Sebastian answered between clenched teeth. "Now, everyone clear the area and continue to work. We have a lot to do." He caressed Ciel's cheek. "I only smile for you, obviously." He led the boy to his office, everyone watching them.

It was certainly nerve racking, having all those unknown eyes on him and the dull rumble of a whisper. He let pass as he was quickly taken into Sebastian's office. "What was that about smiling, hm?"

"It's just that..." he paused and closed the door of his office. "I'm not someone to smile often. It's takes a lot for someone to see me like this, but you can do that easily." He smiled and motioned Ciel to the small couch. "I have a few things to take care of, so you can stay there for a while. Feel free to lie down." He pressed a kiss to the boy's lips before he went to sit behind his desk.

He smiled slightly, leaning back on the couch, sighing in relief. He tilted his head to the side, gazing at the older male. "Sebastian.." He purred quietly, patting the space next to him. "Just 5 minutes..."

He stared at the boy. A grin formed on his lips and he almost jumped onto the couch. He pulled Ciel onto his lap and hugged him tightly. "Yes, just five minutes is good."

He was surprised when he was pulled on to the mans lap, his cheeks instantly flooding with strong vibrant colour. He wrapped his arms back around the older male, sighing contently. He then got even closer and inhaled the mans scent. He felt so lucky to have Sebastian.

He pressed a kiss to Ciel's forehead. "I'm so glad that you like me. I thought that someone like you would want... Well, someone different from me, I guess. It's hard to explain." He chuckled slightly and rested his hands on the boy's cheeks, making them look into each other's eyes. "How much do you like me?"

The boy blinked furiously at the man, finding it hard to get a sound out his throat, let alone any words. He took a deep breath before uttering. "A-A lot.." He squeezed his eyes closed his cheeks a deep pink.

He grinned and kissed Ciel's lips deeply, making the boy bend his back slightly. "You're always so adorable," he whispered and nuzzled Ciel's neck, pressing a quick kiss. He rested his hands on the young man's thighs. He loved to touch him.

The boy was blushing madly, all pink and flustered. He gazed at the man, leaning forward and pressing a quick kiss to the older males lips. They were just so soft.. He wanted to continue kissing them for a long time, but, unfortunately, the boy didn't want to make the man feel uncomfortable.

"Talk to me," he told the boy. "You look like you want to say something. You can tell me anything." He placed his hand on Ciel's cheek and slid his thumb along the flushed area. "And don't be shy, okay?" He kissed him once again and looked at him expectantly.

He stayed deadly silent, fiddling with his shorts as he tried to say something, though all that could be heard was sighs. He bit his lip and looked away, his cheeks darkening even more. "I just-... I just want too-.." Without hesitation he reached forward and pulled the man by his collar, pressing a kiss to the males lips.. Though.. For a change.. The boy made this one last as he had longed for it.

He smiled against Ciel's lips. He took a moment before he leaned in and slid his tongue into the boy's warm mouth. Instead of going for it, he waited, just in case Ciel could push him away.

He wrapped his arms around the mans neck, hugging him closer. He ever so slowly parted his lips a little more. His eyelids quickly fell closed as he awaited for the man to do something. His heart was pounding quickly and madly, he was also over thinking things way too much and making himself worried.

Once he got green light, he explored every corner of Ciel's mouth. The feeling of bliss over the boy became addictive, and he slid Ciel closer to his torso, making the young man sit around his hips. It was as if their bodies fitted each other perfectly. He just hoped no one would knock on the door to interrupt their memorable moment.

He had tilted his head to the side, his hair falling to one side. He couldn't believe it, it felt so good, so addictive.. yet.. so bad..? He rested his much smaller and thinner chest against the much broader one. He was fully lost in the kiss when he heard a loud creak of the office door and hurried foot steps that stopped abruptly. He quickly disconnected their kiss, jumping off the man and landing on wobbly legs.

A young blonde haired man was scowling at the bluenette, when the blonde realised who the boy was, a devilish smirk appeared across his features. All Ciel could think of was his story being sold on to a magazine company, what if this ruined Sebastian's job?

"I-.." He hesitated before lifting his satchel over his shoulder and hurrying out of the room, instantly heading for the stairs.

"Ciel," he called and rushed after him. "Alois, wait here. I need to talk to you," he ordered and continued his way after Ciel. Once he reached the boy, he got a hold of his forearm, causing him to stop. "Don't run away, okay? Let's go back and talk to Alois. I'm sure he'll understand." He had quickly understand that Ciel being a model and dating him would be all over the magazines; it had been always the same with celebrities. He felt the boy shaking slightly under his touch, so he hugged him tightly. "Everything will be fine. I promise."

He trembled and gripped the man tightly. "Wh..What if he tells someone.. And you lose your job?" He quickly pulled away. "If I leave now.. It'll be okay.. No one will know.." He sighed and lifted the satchel over his should, still trembling madly. "If you want to be happy and keep your job, let me leave." And with that the boy began his decent down the steps. As soon as he'd gone a few meters ahead all he could do was cry as he walked, what if Sebastian didn't stop him..?

I'd like to address a guest review to the previous chapter, which I can't reply to. Since this person doesn't have an account, I'll copy the review here: "Why is it so bizarre? Like, sort of broken. It's not very interesting like this". I understand that. First, I've warned before that this is not my work completely. For the ones who know me, my stories have a quicker pace and a bunch of weird stuff keeps happening to the characters. Sorry if it's not 'me' in this story, or if it doesn't live up to your expectations.

ALSO, I'd like to ask you guys and girls something. I have a bit of time at the moment and I want to write a One Shot. Which anime would you like me to make a One Shot about, and which pairing? I'll wait for your messages and choose the one with more votes. I might even make two One Shots if there are two mostly chosen animes and pairings. So... yes, pick two instead. I want to write. Lol.

Eiko.
