Hey Hi Hello Everyone! So I'm randomly searching for fan fiction prompts on Tumblr and this is one I came across.
Ciel is OOC. What a surprise, right?
I groaned internally as I entered my favorite coffee shop. Hipsters.
Hipsters everywhere.
There were iPhones and "nerd glasses" everywhere. Some were Instagraming their coffee, others just sitting and staring off into space.
Can't help it if these people want to act the way they do. I sighed as I ordered my usual. I had woken up 20 minutes earlier just to spend that time in the shop before heading to school, but I realized there was no empty table as I scanned the room. I noticed a classmate sitting at one of my favorite places- a secluded table in the dim corner. I walked over to him.
"Hello there. You don't know me, but we go to school together. Since we have 20 minutes until we should get going, can I sit here?" The blonde continued to type away on his phone for a few seconds.
"Huh? Oh, yeah, sure." He waved at the seat next to him and I sat down.
10 minutes passed.
I had drunk half of my coffee and the boy hadn't looked up from his phone once.
"I never got your name." I said, hoping to start conversation.
"You never asked, sweetie." He didn't look up at me, but I saw him smirk. Then I remembered who he was. He was the school slut. There were so many rumors going around about him, you'd think he'd be insecure. But the very short booty shorts he sported said otherwise. Some say he dropped said shorts for the flamboyantly gay drama teacher. Others say he's got more STDs than they have created. Some even say that not only had he screwed the whole marching band, he had used one of the trumpets as a sex toy. I shivered at the thought.
He's probably sexting some guy. That's why he was so into it. I thought. "Sorry," He said, setting his phone down on the table. "My cable and Wi-Fi got cut off last night, and I needed to finish an essay for English. I'm Alois." He smiled before taking a long sip of his Frappuccino.
He actually does homework? Okay... "I'm Ciel."
"Ciel?" I internally flinched as I waited for him to make the connection. My dad owns a huge toy company, which means he makes huge sums of money. People hang around me hoping to score some of said money. I don't think I've ever had someone who hasn't left my life right after Christmas.
"Ciel...where have I heard that name...Oh, that's right! Ciel Phantomhive! You're in my biology class!" He smiled again before checking the time. "Oh, shit. We better get going." He said, gathering his things and heading out the shop. I quickly followed.
"Biology class?" I said, falling into step along side his fast pace. "That's all you know me from?"
"That and PE, but you were always too scrawny to run, so you became Teachers Assistant." He laughed and I blushed.
"That's it?"
"Yeah. All I can think of. Why? Is there somewhere I should know you from?"
"My dad's big toy company." I sighed, waiting for him to become like the others. He just raised a blonde eyebrow at me.
"Your dads company. That's what you thought I would know you from?" I nodded.
"I don't have internet, so I wouldn't know. Besides," He said, stopping, and making me stop with him by a light tug on my arm.
"What does your dad's company have to do with who you are?" He asked before continuing the walk to school, leaving me behind and baffled.

Over the next couple weeks the Hipster Herd was in town, making the blonde and I share a table. I didn't actually mind, and the more days I spent with Alois, the more I got to know him.
"Hello." I sat down next to him 2 weeks after our first confrontation. I smiled as he did a double take away from his phone and towards me.
"Hi." He mumbled, looking nervously back down at his phone.
"Alois? What's wrong?" He never seemed insecure or nervous about anything, especially not around me.
"It's just... I don't know, like...why do you sit here, Ciel?" He asked, looking expectantly at me. I was taken aback.
"Because there aren't any tables available..."
"Bullshit." He said, setting his phone on the table and staring at me directly. "We both know you pass that completely empty table to get to mine. And if you wanted an available table, you could just take your drink to go, or come after school. So I will ask again. Why do you want to sit with me, Ciel Phantomhive?"
"...Because I like being in your company. You seem like the only thing that you have to entertain you is your phone, so I wanted to be in your company." I sighed, hoping that didn't sound as romantically suggestive as it sounded to me. Apparently, it didn't, because the blonde laughed and shook his head.
"You're just like everyone else." He said, taking his full Frappuccino and walking outside. Confused, I followed after him.
"Like all the others? What do you mean?"
"People either bully or pity me, and I can tell you right now, I don't need either." He turned to face me, his expression angry, but his eyes full of hurt and tears. "You saw me and probably thought I was just the school slut, that has screwed everyone and their brother. But, if you actually cared to read my book, you would've noticed that not only am I a virgin, but inexperienced in love and the like. So thank you, Ciel, for showing me exactly where you stand in judging people. You and everyone in that damn school can go fuck themselves." He turned to leave, but I grabbed his arm. He tensed, and I could tell that he wasn't going to turn around any time soon, so I started without him.
"I didn't sit with you out if pity. I came in the coffee shop the day we met wanting to relax before school. Something about the shop helped me relieve stress. The tables were all taken, so I decided to sit with you. Yeah, at first glance, I thought about the rumors I heard about you and if they were true, but after you didn't turn out to be what I thought you were, I started wanting to read your book. The reason you hadn't cared about my life story made me care about yours. And that is when I started waking up early and falling asleep in class. Moving past empty coffee tables as if they weren't there. I realized that I wasn't coming any more to be relaxed by the coffee shop. I was coming to be relaxed by you." He slowly turned to face me, traces of tears fresh against his pale face.
"What?" He asked/whispered. I shrugged
"I like you. I really do, a lot, actually, and to hear that you're inexperienced in 'love and the like' makes me want to teach you." I smirked, yanking him towards me, hearing his chest bump against mine with a soft thump. I smiled and kissed him on his forehead, feeling his face heat up.
"You're okay with being with the school slut?" He smirked.
"Utterly and completely overjoyed." I replied, bringing my lips to his.
So. This one was (a) random, (b) long, (c) bittersweet, and (d) has nothing to do with Spring Break whatsoever. But alas, chapters full of little boys prancing around half dressed and giving me a fluffy overload is soon to come, my darling readers.
Be patient, young grasshoppers.
Let me know how I'm doing with a review! This is one of the many chapters to come this week!
Prepare your heart strings for some tugging.
Until next time, Lovelies!
