IMPORTANT: Hey, guys, girls, demons, and cookies! I have great news, but I don't know if it's the same for you. I'm going straight to the point. So, I managed to finally start the process of publishing my first book, which is fantasy and "yaoi" (male/male romance). It will come out this August and right now we're taking care of making the book cover and we're going to start editing soon. My writing is completely different (for the better). I was really happy and started to put my ideas to work for my other originals. But then I looked at my fan fiction stories. If I want to focus on my originals, I won't be able to use my ideas and time for fan fiction, which is a hobby. I really love each and every one of you, but I'm afraid that I'll have to leave fan fiction soon. I've been writing here for years, but I have to see my future as well. I love your reviews, and it's your support that has brought me this far. I will NEVER forget about fanfiction and you guys and girl's love. I will write one last chapter for each of the four stories, and then you can even keep the stories and continue them if you want. I would be really happy to know what you would come up with! So, this is not my official goodbye, obviously. I've been chatting with some of you on facebook and I like to post things on my blog for you to see. It would be really nice if at least some of you walked this path with me and followed my originals. My real reader from the beginning of my journey is you.

It's going to be two pages for each story here and I'm going to start right now. And I'm sure that there are other writers here that you also like, so please support them as well.

P.S.: I've been role-playing for a while with "Ciel" through facebook and I'm going to post our story here at Fanfiction. It's going to be rated M and the pairing is between Sebastian and Ciel. We have no idea how long it will be, but we would like to know your feedback soon.

Eiko.

Chapter 10: Undecided

"Unlike them, I won't force you into anything," Alois said, smiling slightly. He slid closer to his friend. "Take your time, but make sure that your make the right decision."

Ciel looked up at him in concern. "But... I don't know what to do. Can you please leave? I want to be alone for a while," he mumbled. Without retorting, Alois stood and walked out of the apartment dejected. Sighing, Ciel went to take a shower.

It felt as if he'd been away for weeks. That fear that he had felt was gone, yet not completely. Ciel had no idea whether Sebastian would get into that scary habit if he rejected him, but the incubus seemed sincere and willing to change. After all, Sebastian had said that he didn't know how to handle humans.

Ciel walked out of the bathroom in his pajamas and got in bed. The heavy weight had lifted off his shoulders a bit more after that shower. He was refreshed, but not yet ready to face another day. He closed his eyes, this time not feeling watched or that something could happen to him. In a matter of seconds, he fell asleep.

In the morning, Ciel woke up soothingly, feeling completely rested mentally and physically. The problem began when he opened his eyes. "What...?" he mumbled, staring at Sebastian beside him, on the bed, and smiling slightly at him. "What are you doing here?"

"Isn't it obvious? I came here to see you," Sebastian said and sat up.

Ciel shook his head and got out of bed. "You can't just come into my apartment! What happened to pressing on that button next to the door, outside? Do you even know what a doorbell is?" he shouted. He quickly leaned slightly back when the incubus looked down.

"How was I supposed to know? Since I came in here without permission all the time, I thought that it would be fine now," Sebastian said, rubbing the back of his neck. He turned his eyes to Ciel. "Can I... kiss you?"

Pursing his lips, Ciel narrowed his eyes. "No," he answered, making the incubus stare at him. "You did something that you shouldn't, so now you can't get anything. I told you to do things to get my attention. You can't just ask me if you can k-kiss me all of a sudden!"

"But if I want to get your attention, I have to do things, right?" Sebastian walked around the bed slowly, as if not to scare Ciel away.

Ciel almost jumped once the tall man got a hold of his forearm. He widened his eyes. Sebastian pressed a kiss to his lips. Ciel felt the incubus's arm wrap around his torso and he was pulled against Sebastian's torso.

"I knew it," Claude suddenly said, startling Ciel away from Sebastian. "You came here because you knew that I'd be here at one point. But that doesn't mean that you're going to win."

"I just want Ciel to acknowledge me before you do something," Sebastian retorted. "It's obvious that I would want him to only look at me." He walked over to Claude, ready to start a fight.

"Stop," someone else shouted.

Ciel looked towards the door. "A-Alois, how did you get in here?"

"Well, I thought that something could happen, so I took your spare keys," the blond said with a wide smile. "Now, let's get some fresh air." He held Ciel's hand and led him out of the room.

Sebastian frowned, chasing them. "Don't take him away like he's yours," he growled and grabbed Ciel's other hand. "I told him about my feelings first. The way you look at him is so obvious."

Ciel stared up at Sebastian. "A-All of you, just leave me alone. Give me time to think," he demanded and released his hands. "You're all behaving as if you don't give a damn about my feelings. And that makes me want to stay away from all of you!"

"If he could do it, I can do the same," Claude said and appeared in front of Ciel. He leaned down, holding the back of Ciel's head, and pressed a deep kiss to his lips. He widened his eyes once the young man pressed his hands on his chest and shoved him away.

"Claude I have to tell you this right now," Ciel muttered. "I don't have any feelings for you."

Alois raised a brow. "So, who do you have feelings for, then?" he questioned his friend. "You might as well say it so two out of the three of us know that we can't stand a chance." He frowned, as if he didn't want to say all of that.

Sighing, Ciel shook his head. "Alois, I want to be best friends with you again—"

The blond raised his hand to cut him off. "I get it now. You only have feelings for Sebastian, am I right? But you should know that I'm not going to give up that easily."

Ciel shrunk in place. They were getting him in trouble. He looked up at Claude, who had been staring at him. "What is is?" he asked quietly.

"I won't give up either," Claude muttered and vanished into thin air.

Ciel then looked up at Sebastian, who smiled widely. "Uh..." Ciel gulped. The incubus looked so irresistible with that smile. Still, Alois was right there, most probably thinking of a way to get his attention.

Thanks for reading!

Eiko.
