Okay, ten more and I'm done. Lol...

Chapter 10

Ciel frowned at Sebastian. "Are you out of your mind?" he yelled and stomped away from him and Grell. "I can't believe this. You're such an idiot!" The boy grit his teeth as everyone stared at him.

"Is it true?" Undertaker asked with a curious look.

Ciel ran his fingers through his hair, frowning deeply. "No comments," he growled and continued his way.

"Ciel!" Sebastian called and ran after him. "I'm sorry. Grell insisted so much that I told him about us. He resented what I did to him and spread the word."

The younger male stopped on his feet, then turned around and grasped Sebastian's shirt-collar menacingly. "Can't you just think for a second that everyone could see this as a joke?!" he scolded and shook his head in disappointment.

"Show me," Alois requested with a smug on his face and disregarded Claude quickly looking at him.

"No," Claude muttered and charged towards Ciel.

Sebastian stared at Claude. Before he could do anything, Ciel was picked up bridal-style and carried to the men's trailer. "What are you doing?"

"Yes, what are you doing?" Ciel questioned when Claude opened the door and took him inside. "Claude!" he called as the taller male closed it, locking them inside.

The older male faced the boy. "Are you dating Sebastian?" he asked seriously.

Ciel looked away for a second. "Yes," he murmured.

Claude placed his hands on the smaller male's shoulders. "I won't allow it; I've fallen for you, Ciel. I don't care if you're dating Sebastian. You're going to be mine."

"Wait a second. Stop!" Ciel shouted as the taller male grabbed his forearm and dragged him along the corridor of the trailer. The boy was then thrown to a bed and Claude climbed on top of him. "Ngh!" He shut his blue yes when he was kissed. Shaking his head, he managed to get away from the stronger male, but Claude spread his legs and sat him on his lap. "If you know that I'm dating Sebastian, why are you doing this? Can't you see that Alois likes you?"

"I don't care. I only want you, Ciel!" Suddenly, Claude took off the younger male's shirt easily.

The boy raised his fist and punched the older male on the temple, making him fall backwards. Breathing heavily in fear, Ciel didn't even took his shirt and crawled out of bed, then, as he ran along the corridor, the door of the trailer was kicked strongly enough to slam it open. "Sebastian!" he called once he saw him.

"I'm here." Sebastian embraced the boy and looked at Claude getting up from the floor. Before he could say or do anything, footsteps were heard coming from the entrance. His scarlet eyes followed a fairly angry man pacing towards Claude.

Harold pierced his fist against Claude's abdomen. "How dare you scare Ciel like that?" he growled.

"Ugh!" Claude coughed and wrapped his arms around his lower torso, falling on one knee.

"Now, go ask for forgiveness before I really beat you up," Harold ordered and gripped Claude's wrist, pulling him towards the boy and Sebastian.

"Dammit." Claude frowned as he was yanked roughly.

Sebastian quickly looked at Ciel when the boy squeezed his arms around him as Claude approached them. He smiled slightly. "Don't worry, Ciel, I would let you go." Ciel's worried eyes looked up at the older male and he nodded slightly.

"I'm sorry... Ciel," Claude apologized and released himself from Harold's tight grip. He gazed at the younger male nodding, then turning his face away and resting his head against Sebastian's chest. Claude turned his head down, went to the bed, picked up the boy's shirt and handed it to Sebastian.

Sebastian helped the younger male put on his shirt, then held his hand and led him out of the trailer. "The new door is coming out of your salary at the end of the month, Claude," he said and waved his hand, dismissing everyone who was staring at them.

Elizabeth looked at her friend with a concerned look. "Don't worry, Ciel, whatever he did, he won't do it again," she assured him and went to the trailer to scold Claude.

"Are you alright?" Sebastian asked as they walked along the camp, still holding the boy's hand.

"Sort of," Ciel murmured. "I really thought that he was going to do something worse."

The taller male sighed. "I'm sorry I let him take you. It was so sudden that I couldn't even react."

"It's not your fault." Ciel then frowned when he saw Grell approaching them. Dealing with a pervert had been enough, and now one who started everything was going to, perhaps, ruin his day even more.

"Ciel, I'm sorry for what I did. I only meant to make Sebastian pay for what he did to me in the past," Grell explained with a worried look.

"Okay." Ciel nodded and led Sebastian out of the camp. "Let's go somewhere away from the circus for a few minutes."

"Alright." Sebastian smiled widely, content with the chance of spending time with Ciel. "We can have lunch somewhere. Even so, I'm sure that it'll be something really small because we're in the middle of nowhere." He chuckled to lighten the mood, but he quickly returned to his serious face when the boy smiled slightly.

"What's the matter?" Ciel asked when the older male stopped on his tracks. His eyes closed halfway when Sebastian cupped his cheeks and kissed him affectionately. "Hm," he moaned slightly when the other's tongue slid against his lips, wanting to get inside. The boy parted his lips and the slick muscle met with his tongue and teased it.

After a moment, the older male pulled away from the boy and embraced him. "I love you, Ciel."

Ciel embraced him in return, but couldn't utter the same words out of embarrassment. "We should go now. At what time will we leave?"

The taller male held the boy's hand once again and led him along the dirt road. "After we have lunch. Don't forget that I'm the boss."

Ciel blushed slightly. "Yes."

After a peaceful lunch at the local restaurant, Ciel and Sebastian returned to the camp. "Let's go. We have a to get there in time!" the owner ordered and everyone returned to their respective trailers and trucks.

"Are you feeling better, Ciel?" Elizabeth asked, smiling worriedly.

"Yes. Thank you." Ciel flashed a smile and caressed her cheek.

Elizabeth's cheeks were shaded red. "N-No problem." She waved and went to the women's trailer.

"I see that you're used to handling girls," Sebastian commented as they stepped into their trailer.

The younger male shrugged his shoulders. "Sort of."

Sebastian chuckled. "Okay. Now, let's change and watch some TV while cuddling." He grinned at the boy's light blush. "Cookie. I just felt like saying it."

"It's a bit weird coming from you; you don't look like someone who would use nicknames," Ciel said while opening his traveling bag and taking out some plain clothes.

Sebastian made a thinking look. "If you could, what nickname would you give me?"

"Demon," the younger male answered without thinking twice and almost laughed at Sebastian's defeated look.

In a fairly good way, Ciel was happy with the turn his life took. He followed his dream and there it was, accomplished with hard work and some adversity from being run over by a bull and having to be a pole dancer to see how hardworking life could become. With all the tools in his hand, he got more than what he wanted, someone who loved him for who he was. Even so, he still found their relationship awkward and somewhat hard to believe, since he wasn't expecting to date someone while working at the circus.

On the other hand, Sebastian had been almost overexcited since he got Ciel for himself. Wherever he was or whatever he did, his scarlet eyes always landed on Ciel. In the past, others approached Sebastian romantically, but just for the fact that he was an ascending star in the circus that he owned. To have a circus in his twenties meant that life was on the right path, a stable one. However, he could see through Ciel that he didn't care about it, that it was just something that he loved to do.

As both watched TV from the bed, Ciel had his head leaned against the older male's chest. "There's not much to do while we're on the road," the boy said as he watched an interesting series.

"It's like going on a field trip that takes hours." Sebastian chuckled, then stared at the younger male when he quickly perked up.

"I know what we can do!" Ciel almost yelled, as if he had the greatest idea, and sat in front of the older male. "I always did this whenever we had a field trip at schools. It was slightly different, though."

"Tell me already," Sebastian rushed.

"Is it possible to gather some of the staff here?" the boy questioned and eagerly awaited the answer.

Sebastian looked away for a second. "I guess, but you have to tell me how many are you thinking about. Even if this trailer is spacious, the circus has a lot of members."

Ciel thought for a moment. "Well, we can have Elizabeth, Pluto, Undertaker, William..."

Sebastian just heard the list attentively and counted while looking at the space in the trailer. "Alright, you can stops. We don't have any more areas to clear. The bed is bendable, as so is most of the kitchen area, but if we don't want anyone to be left out, that's just about it."

"Okay, but for that we need to stop. I also don't want the others to be left out, but we can still have them next time." Ciel rubbed the back of his head. The last thing he wanted was to everyone see him as someone unfair.

"Undertaker is leading, so I'll tell him to stop." Sebastian got out of bed. "We'll have to close the bed first."

"Alright." Ciel almost jumped out of bed and helped the older male.

After everything was ready, Sebastian went to the small window at the end of the trailer and opened it. "Undertaker."

The grim-looking man looked over his shoulder for a second. "Yes?"

"Make a quick stop," Sebastian demanded and closed the window.

Ciel put on his shoes and followed the older male outside. He was a bit surprised when Sebastian hadn't minded stopping everything because of him. "I'm going to the girl's trailer; I don't want to see Claude at the moment," he quickly said and the taller male nodded before they went their separate ways.

"What's the matter?" Undertaker asked while stepping out of the vehicle.

"You're also going, so take a break and go to Sebastian's trailer," Ciel said before continuing his way. He looked at the mountains surrounding the road where they stopped and knocked on the trailer's door.

"Has someone happened?" Maylene asked and opened the door further. "You can come inside."

"Excuse me." Ciel stepped inside and watched the girls gathering in front of him. "Uh... I'm going to have something at Sebastian's trailer, and I would like all of you to come with me. Since you're not many, all of you can come." He smiled slightly when they lit up in excitement.

"Of course!" Elizabeth followed Ciel along with the rest of the girls.

"Wow, so many." Bard chuckled as he and some of the men followed Sebastian. "Guess who's driving Sebastian's trailer." He hadn't waited for the reply. "Claude!" The blond male laughed. "Serves him right for what he did to our mascot."

"Mascot?" Ciel stared at Bard.

"Yes, you're our mascot." Elizabeth chuckled. "So, what are we going to do?" She looked at Ciel curiously.

"You'll see," Sebastian answered instead and motioned everyone inside. Not even he knew what it was, but he went along with it.

With everyone in the trailer while Claude drove, Ciel instructed them to sit on a the carpeted floor in a circle, then closed every window and turned off the TV. After leaving the remote-control on one of the small couches, he sat beside Sebastian, which was the only space left for him. "So, this is almost like a tradition when me and my friends went on field trips and we had to camp outdoors. Many know this games as the sleeping pirate. The pirate has the treasure in front of him or her. And the one who gets to the treasure without awaking the pirate will become the next one. With my friends, we always changed the game; we used someone as the treasure and made the one who managed not to awake the pirate could tell them to do something," the boy explained and everyone nodded. He then got up and went to his backpack, took a small flashlight and returned to the circle. "The pirate has to point the light at the one who he thinks is the stealer. So, who's going to start?"

"You and Sebastian," Elizabeth was the first one suggesting.

"Yes, and Sebastian can be the pirate... of course." William rolled his eyes in annoyance.

Sebastian stood and led Ciel to the wall covered by the wall. "You can star." He sat the boy in front of him, then did the same and leaned against the wall.

"This is going to be great." Undertaker chuckled and went with everybody to the kitchen area.

Sebastian readied the flashlight and closed his eyes. "Ready."

Ciel looked over his shoulder, then turned his head down, blushing slightly because he had been chosen to be the treasure. "Ready," he murmured and the lights were turned off. Just the thought of having so many people wanting him because of a game embarrassed him.

Silence flooded the trailer and Undertaker was the first one to silently crawl towards the boy. Everyone knew that Ciel and Sebastian couldn't see them, and they couldn't see each other as well. The next one to approach the circus' mascot was Elizabeth, followed by the others.

Undertaker grinned. Even if his eyes were mostly covered by his long hair, he could see well amidst the darkness. Even so, he had to focus in order to find his treasure. "Ah," he growled under his breath when the light was pointed at him. "I was about to touch him," he whined.

"You got so excited that you made a noise. You didn't even realized it," Sebastian said proudly.

"Now you have to go to the end of the line." Ciel shrugged his shoulders. He couldn't help grinning when he saw Elizabeth a couple of steps away from him and she smiled in return.

The flashlight was turned off and the game continued. Elizabeth extended her arm and managed to touch Ciel's covered foot. She closed her lips into a tight line, wanting to laugh when his foot twitched. Her hand slid to the ankle and she grasped it, pulling Ciel towards her.

Wanting to laugh so much, Ciel covered his lips with his hand as he slid along the carpet. This is too funny, he thought to himself in amusement. Perhaps Sebastian only had men in his radar.

"Got him!" Elizabeth announced.

Among the small crowd, William stood up and turned on the light. "I was right here." He got back to his place and everyone stared at him. He had been at the right side of Ciel, dangerously close to him and no one had noticed until he revealed his position.

"That was close." Sebastian chuckled.

"You can tell Sebastian to do something now," Ciel addressed Elizabeth.

Elizabeth smiled widely. "Great. I'm curious, so I want to... see you and Sebastian kiss once." She blushed slightly as the others made an awkward face at her.

"You should follow the rules," Maylene said, her glasses fogging.

Ciel and Sebastian stared at each other.
