Chapter 7

A few days later from when Ciel moves into the East Wing Dormitory…

"WHAT IS THIS MESS AGAIN? I thought I cleaned it all up yesterday!" Ciel says, annoyed. He just finished bathing and yet this room is a mess like this. Three days being here is like three years in hell, if he had his own room, it would definitely be cleaner than this.

Books are scattered on the floor, clothes spread out on the bed; pens, scissors, rulers lying everywhere. It's a grand room, but since someone is having a bad habit of putting things wherever he likes, Ciel has no choice than cleaning up everyday, since he cannot ever stand messiness.

"Nobody told you to clean up, so why are you keep complaining?" Sebastian smirks, lying on his bed reading 'The Tales of 1001 Nights'. Ciel is bending down picking up the books and arranges them back onto the shelves.

"As if anyone could survive in this kind of environment! Are you always like this?"

"No. But now I am." He says. "I like watching you like this, acting like a mother trying to tell her kids to clean up their rooms."

"Shut up! I am not like that!" Ciel blushes. He stops what he was doing and top his blanket over his body on his bed. "Well then if you would excuse me, I have work to do tomorrow!" He turns away, facing the wall. Sebastian puts down his book and walks towards his bed. He reaches out his hand…

"No touching me. Or this." Says Ciel, holding a stun gun out of his palm. He glares at Sebastian. "I know you too well…"

Sebastian smiles. "Well then, enjoy your sleep. I gotta bath, good-night." And he walks away. The door shuts.

"Pheww…" Ciel sighs. Whenever he is near Sebastian, his heart keeps racing. "Urgh! This isn't right! I do not like him, I do not! I'll never give in!" He taps his cheeks.

Oh yeah…about the AkuMarine Tournament…what shall I do? I saw my name on the list this morning…Sebastian, Grell, and I thought I saw Alois's name too…better go ask him tomorrow…Ciel keeps thinking until he falls asleep. A few while later Sebastian returns, having only a bath towel wrapped around his waist, his body still a bit wet from shower.

"Oi, Ciel, can you give me a shirt?" He asks. No replies. Sebastian goes nearer, and he sees Ciel breathing slowly in and out. He grins.

"What a nice opportunity to take his photos." And he grabs his phone, takes a few snaps of sleeping Ciel. He bends down, and approaches to kiss him. "Hm…he is sweet." Sebastian licks his lips. Ciel lets out a soft groan and turns his body. His waist is exposed as his shirt got stuck up. Sebastian's eyes widened.

"No, what am I thinking? Jeez…his skin is definitely white…" He swallows and uses his hand to touch Ciel's skin.

"Ah…" Ciel mumbles. Sebastian smirks and move his hand.

"ACHOO!" Sneezes Ciel. Sebastian stops. Ah, what was I doing again? It's better if I take his pictures and show this to him later. Thought Sebastian. He pulls up Ciel's blanket and cover up his shoulders.

The next morning, Ciel wakes with Sebastian already gone off to school. "Phewww…Finally I can freely dress now." Says him. Ciel has breakfast at the academy cafeteria and spends his day listening to lectures. Weirdly the day passes without any interruption from Sebastian, and they haven't seen each other since morning.

Anywhere Ciel goes, students greet him and get friendly, like he's some kind of celebrity or anything. Strangely the people whom he knows would normally get annoying is utterly silent today. Undertaker stops creeping people, Grell stops bugging him, he doesn't see Elizabeth nor Ronald, it is like he is on his own, so instead he has lunch next to Soma and Agni.

"It was quite a while since I talked to you, Ciel." Soma says.

"Well, true, since… that person keeps on pulling me over to his table. But now he is not here, so I'll eat here." Ciel answers. "By the way, what is that you are having?"

"This?" Soma points to the food in front of him. "This is a curry bun, especially made in India. Since my dad owns a food company, he basically lets me try his newest products."

"What about Agni?" Ciel asks.

"Actually, I am Soma's childhood friend. We live with each other for quite a while now."

"Geez, you are always acting like you are older than me. It's true, Ciel. He always has to clean our room, I never did anything, hahaha." Says Soma. Lunch passes, school is finished and Ciel hasn't heard anything from Sebastian.

Whoa. Is he sick? No way, I didn't see him in his bed this morning. And he taps his cheeks again. Shoot! Why am I thinking about him? And Ciel opens his locker to get his stuff. Then he heads to the gym just as planned starting today, training for the Marathon Tournament ahead. No one is here yet, so Ciel takes advantage to dress himself up first. He glances into the teachers' office, but since they are already home, Ciel sees the announcement board, which the AkuMarine Team List is pinned on. Sebastian's name is on the top row.

Sebastian…I wonder how he looks with his PE clothes on…And Ciel picks up a few documents laying on the desk, thinking about that. Shoot! I am thinking about him again! He accidentally drops the stack of paper, and bends down to collect them. Ciel spots a note pinned on the door.

Ciel, if you are done come to the Student Council room with me. –Sebastian.

"Tsk. Like I would do that. But by the way, where is everyone? I thought we are supposed to meet up at 5:00? It's 5:05 now…" Ciel gets to the Headmistress Office to find Ms. Dalles. There is a note on her door too.

Don't bother entering here. She is home early due to business problems.

"This guy…" Ciel shakes his head and decides to head to the Student Council himself. From two feet away he was already able to hear Grell's voice.

"Do…do you want to do it that much?"

"Of course. It would be irritating if I don't do this soon." Says Sebastian's voice. Ciel stands in front and try to figure out what they are talking about.

"Hey Sebas-chan…be gentle, okay?" Grell says.

"Well I can't be sure, but it is gonna hurt for a little while, and then you'll be fine again."

What the…? Ciel tries to press his ear as close to the wall as possible.

"Okay, I'm gonna put it in now."

"OWWWWWW! Stop! It hurts! It hurts!" Yells Grell.

"Shut up! People are gonna hear us!" Sebastian says.

"Then STOP rubbing it like that!"

The blood inside Ciel is rising. What did Sebastian call me here for? Did he plan to let me hear this? Thought Ciel, he had no idea what they are doing on the inside, but he knows it's not a good thing.

"Ahh~ It got onto my shirt! Sebas-chan! It's your fault!"

"No, it's not mine. It's yours. I told you to sit still, but yet you keep moving like that!"

"You said you were gonna be gentle! Pull it out!"

"No. It gottta stay like this for a longer while, then it'll get better, I promise, just keep your voice down!" BAAAANG. A sound of glass breaking hit the ground.

"Ouch! Now you broke the bottle. My hand's all slippery now."

No doubt now. Ciel pushes the door harshly and finds himself among a whole bunch of people. "What the-" Grell is sitting on a stool with her ankle out, Sebastian bending down picking up the shattered pieces of glass.

"I thought…I heard shouting and yelling…" Ciel says, trying to cover up his embarrassment. "What'd I miss?"

"I broke my ankle this morning, that's why I stayed in the infirmary all day. Sebas-chan is helping me putting on rubbing alcohol, but he's so mean! You know the wound hurts!" Grell says.

"But it doesn't mean that you have to kick me out and break the bottle like that! Now I have to clean this mess up." Sebastian replies. Ciel stands there grounded on the floor.

"Oh…okay…." He breathes out. Ciel thought they were…but never mind that now. "I'm sorry I'm late." Undertaker, Elizabeth, Ronald and Alois have already dressed in P.E uniforms and are sitting around a table.

"Don't worry. We are just…having quite a bit of a problem. Our coach, Ms. Dalles is supposed to start training today, but then her child is having a dengue fever which is so severe she has to go back home and won't be able to return in the next few weeks, since she has to take her child to a foreign hospital." Alois explains. "And yet, now Grell, our team manager, broke her leg this morning, so I am afraid we cannot train like this."

Everyone is making a disappointed face, no wonder they all feel down since morning. "At this rate, we'll never practice properly." Says Sebastian.

"So, we have come up with a dead-end plan: each partner is gonna practice with their partner individually. That means we will not meet up like scheduled, but are gonna get prepared differently." He continues. "That is the only thing we can come up right now. I can ask for assistance of Mr. Faustus, since he used to be a coach, and other P.E teachers. But their time schedules are different than what we have agreed on, so each group is gonna see them differently."

Everyone nod, agreeing to his statement. Sebastian picks up a ruler and points to the blackboard. "What we need to do now is to come up with strategies. Well then let's get prepared for that. And as I remember…I haven't tested any of you on your sports skill yet…have I?" The students swallow, as if expecting the question from the very start.

Sebastian clasps his hands together. "Well then, head to the track field now." He smiles.

"The first thing we are gonna do, is to test your running speed in a mile." Sebastian says, himself and all the others stand across behind the starting line.

"Wa-wait, like…right now?" Ciel says, panicking.

"GO!" Grell blows the whistle. They all start off with amazing speed.

"Wait for meeeee!" Ciel yells. Leading Sebastian, then Undertaker, Ronald, Elizabeth, Alois…and Ciel, hovering like their shadows. After a minute or while, Ciel couldn't see any of them ahead of him anymore.

Oh-my-Lord… Ciel pants, trying to crawl faster. He has never been good with this. Back in fifth grade he was at the bottom at P.E in class. What could have been better? By the time Ciel reaches there, Sebastian is helping himself with a bottle of water. The others are still panting under the tree shade.

"Ah…ah…Ugh…" Ciel bends down right after he crosses the finish line.

"What does this mean?" Sebastian comes near. "I didn't know-you were that…"

Ciel frowns. "Yeah…? I'm slow, so… what? It's your… idea that you chose me… for being your partner… from the start…" He breathes fast.

"Hm. We'll save that for later." Sebastian says. "Everyone, now we are going to test your PACER skills. Head to the main gym now." They groan, and crawl themselves inside.

"PACER is a kind of assessment that you have to run back and forth along a 500-meter length, until you can't run anymore." He explains. "Now, everyone, hands on the wall!" Grell seems amused, since she is the only person who doesn't have to do the works. She turns the audio from the computer on. It goes 'tick!' They start running to the other side of the wall.

Ciel was able to touch the other side in time. The computer goes 'beep!' They run back again. The 'ticks' and 'beeps' keep going on, and after about thirty times, Ciel moves away from the section.

"Ah! I'm burning…my throat!" He gets outside fast to get some air in. Panting like he never did before, he stays there for a minute until his heartbeats go back to normal. Then he sees Alois coming out too.

"Ah~ I'm so exhausted…Sebastian…He's such a villain!" He leans on the hand rail.

"I'm gonna go back, 'kay?" Ciel says, he returns to the gym. Whoa. Sebastian is still running, and even though the time between each 'tic' and 'beep' goes faster, he keeps touching the other side of the wall in time. Undertaker has just left the section, joining Ciel and the others.

"Wow~ That's my Sebby! Kyaaaaa, you're so cool!" Grell says. It was already on the eightieth round. At the hundredth time, the sounds stop.

"Eh? Aw, it seems like it was the max score! You can stop now, Sebas-chan!" Grell smiles broadly. She gives Sebastian a bottle of water and a towel.

"Geez…why is he the only one who's got treated? Are we scarecrows?" Ronald says. "By the way, Ciel, you were the first to leave, right?"

"U-Uh." He nods. Another failure, he thought.

"Alright! Next: push-ups!" Sebastian instructs.

"EHHHHH?! Isn't that enough already?" They yell of disapproval.

"…Hm? Do you wanna object something?" His eyes gleam of evil. The guts in Ciel's stomach jumps right up. "Demon…"

They sigh and move on. Yet, another epic fail for Ciel.

"Next: curl-ups!"

"Next: bending!"

"Next: crunches!"

"Next: slow jog!"

By the time it has gotten really dark, not only Ciel, but everyone else is like moving corpses. No sign of life inside them.

"Hm…it seems it's time for us to head back to the Dormitories. Dinner should be ready for now." Sebastian announces.

"REALLYYY? CAN WE REALLY GET BACK NOW?" The lives have return. At lightning speed they disappear into the fields. Ciel is the only person who remains with Sebastian, he couldn't walk anymore.

"Hah…hah…hah…" Ciel pants as he climbs the steps to Blue Koi Dormitory. Sebastian grabs his shoulders.

"Ciel…I think I need more time with you…" His eyes spark joy. Ciel swallows.

"Fi-fine. I know I'm not good. It's not my fault that we lose this game." He pouts. Sebastian pats his head. Eh?

"If you can't, then I'll make it can. We had always come in second place before, well, probably because I never joined the Tournament. But-this time I am, and I will make sure that we win the cup." He says. "Meet me tomorrow morning, since it's a late start, I may 'train' you a little."

"What…Fine. I-I'll come." Ciel blushes. Sebastian heads into the dining hall first. Ciel touches the place where Sebastian had patted him before. Sebastian…pats me?

"Shoot! I'm thinking about him AGAIN!"

Next morning he wakes, his body aches so much, Ciel couldn't even move to the bathroom to brush his teeth. He walks like an old man, bending his knees and patting his own back. Then he remembers about the meeting he is supposed to be at with Sebastian today, so he hurries and goes to the back courtyard.

Sebastian is already there, eating his sandwich. "Hm? You're early." He says.

"I thought I'd come earlier than you…oh well, then, what are you making me do?" Ciel asks.

"You are a slow-processing brain person." Sebastian mocks. "You need to practice more than anyone else."

"Well excuse me for being bad at sports!"

"Since you only have to participate in the running section, I'd like to have you practice everyday by running a mile."

"What does that help?"

"Well," Sebastian says, "Each time you have your time shortened, I'll give you a certain amount of money to payback for the things you broke."

"Tsk. Like I have to rely on that."

Sebastian smirks. "And maybe…" He touches Ciel's hair and kisses it. "I shall give you a special reward."

"WAHHH!" Ciel blushes. "As if! Stay away from me!"

"Well then, go ahead and stand at the starting line. We'll take your base-line time today."

Ciel clicks his tongue, hasn't even recovered from yesterday yet. Sebastian blows his whistle, and Ciel runs. He keeps running, but keeps thinking about Sebastian. Stop it, stop it! I can't think about him now…

And like that, every morning Ciel runs, and after two days he got his time faster.

"Ooh…thirty seconds earlier, well done." Sebastian grins. "Keep on like this and you'll be better in no time." Ciel just stares at the guy.

"Well, like I said…" Sebastian pulls Ciel's face closer and gropes his body.

"No! I don't need this-" Too late, Sebastian kisses him passionately.

"Nn! Mmm….!" Ciel pushes him away, blushing. "I said I don't need…." He brushes off his lips, Sebastian tastes sweet.

"Come on, I know you like it." Sebastian smirks. Over the next few days, Ciel gets better, and keeps getting harassed by Sebastian. Well, he keeps pushing Sebastian away, so the guy hadn't done anything so dangerous.

"Ouch!" This is the sixth day that he has been running. Unfortunately Ciel hit a stone and fell. "Tsk! I can't run like this." So he decides to walk back.

"What happened to you?"

"Nothing." Ciel says.

"Liar. Your ankle is bleeding." And as he says, he carries Ciel in bridal style, up to the infirmary.

"I said I'm okay, it's just a bump!"

"Be quiet, how can you join the tournament, even if it is a scratch?" He rubs Ciel's foot with alcohol and puts on a bandage. Ciel flushes.

"Why…are you nice to me?" He looks at the window. "What'd I ever do to you? So why you chose me for teaming up with you, not someone else? I sure there are way more muscular guys out there…"

Sebastian stands up and lifts Ciel's face. "Have you…ever heard of love at first sight?"

Ciel goes scarlet with the same color as Grell's hair. "No! It's not a miracle like fairytales! Why do you keep saying you like me, yet you are always harassing me and stuff…"

"I only did so because you look really cute when you are troubled or angry." He grins. "I like you."

"Stop joking around. It's not the time to talk about these kinds of-"

Sebastian pushes Ciel hard down on the bed. "You think I'm joking?" His eyes are fierce. "Then shall I prove it to you?"

"You!" Ciel grits his teeth, his heart thumping hard. "You can't do-ah!" Sebastian forces his kiss onto Ciel, groping his body. Ah! Why am I getting hard? Ciel uses his leg to kick Sebastian. He runs towards the door.

"Okay, I know! If you say you like me, then stop forcing me like that!" Ciel blushes. "And, I hate to say this, but thanks, for fixing my foot." Then he runs away, hiding in his bedroom.

What was that just now?! Did I…really get hard? Ciel bumps his head onto the wall. "This isn't love, this isn't love, this can't possibly be loveeeeeeee!"

Back inside the infirmary, Sebastian grins.

Ciel Phantomhive: prey captured.
