Chapter 10~Christmas Surprises
Ciel woke up in his bed with the sun glaring in his face and Sebastian next to him, his arms wrapped around his petite waist.
He looked up at the sleeping male with a wide eye.
"What?! What's he doing next to me?!" his mind practically screamed.
He felt Sebastian pull him closer, their chests flushed againstone another. Ciel felt a little uneasy in this position. The heat from last night was beginning to build up in his nether regions and it was beginning to drive him crazy. He never thought that he would find himself possibly lusting for him. Never!
Or was he?
Ciel heard a small murmur and he looked up to see Sebastian slowly open his eyes. Crimson blinked in slight confusion as he stared him down.
"Mmmm, mornin'...what are you doing in my apartment, Ciel...?" he mumbled tiredly.
"This is my house, baby dear." Ciel found his arms going around the man's torso and rubbing small circles into the man's back with his thumbs. "Are you hallucinating, perhaps?" he cooed softly, a devious look flickering around in his eye.
"Wha- - -" Ciel silenced him before he could even push out a few more words.
"Before you start freaking out, no, we did not screw around. Also, you had gotten drunk last night and apparently passed out on my bed. I chased everyone else out and left Alois, Peter, and Wendy to sleep in the living room." Ciel explained.
"Ah. So, that's where all the loud banging at midnight came from..." Sebastian mumbled tiredly.
"Yeah, sorry. Well, at least you're in time for Christmas." Ciel told him.
"Ciel..." Sebastian whispered out.
"Hmm? What is i- - -" he felt a pair of lips land on his other eyelid, which he now realized was not covered with his eyepatch. He gasped sharply, his eye growing wide. "Se-Sebastian!" he stammered out.
"What? Is it wrong for me to kiss it?" Sebastian questioned.
Ciel shook his head quickly, an embarrassed blush coloring his cheeks bright red.
"N-No! I mean...well...I don't know?" Ciel said in an uncertain voice.
"What happened to it, anyway?" Sebastian asked.
"Um..." Ciel glanced away. "Well...I- - -"
The door burst open and an extremely energetic Alois along with a half-dead asleep Peter and Wendy stumbled into the room.
"Ciel! Time to wake u- - -" Alois noticed the two in bed next to each other and he smirked.
"Mmmm...! Someone's getting kissy kissy in bed!" he declared.
"Oooooh!" Peter and Wendy shouted in unison.
"Sh-Shut up!" Ciel grabbed for a small cerulean blue pillow and he chucked it at them, successfully hitting Alois in the gut. "Gosh, he just passed out and I wanted to sleep in my bed! So, why not?!" he growled.
"It'll give off the wrong image." Peter stated in a tired voice.
Ciel sighed deeply.
"Do you need me to make breakfast for you or something?" he asked.
"Sure. We'll be downstairs waiting for you two to stop kissing up with one another." Wendy said with the roll of her eyes as the three exited the room.
Ciel rolled his eyes as he sat up in bed.
"Gosh, screw those three idiots..." he shot a glance at Sebastian. "I can get you an extra change of clothes. I usually wear clothes that are at least a size or two bigger than me, so I'm sure I can find something to fit you." he explained.
"That would be nice." Sebastian said as he watched Ciel climb off the bed. He traced the boy's figure with his eyes as he walked over to the closet.
He was short, he had to admit that much. Not only that, he was also pretty slim. His porcelain white skin glimmered a little in the sunlight and the messy mop of navy blue contrasted beautifully. His eyes rolled down the boy's back and they landed on his ass. He gulped, watching as Ciel shifted a little out of the grey shirt that he was practically drowning in. He pulled the shirt over his head in a seductive fashion and he flung it behind him, the shirt successfully hitting Sebastian in the face.
"Oi, no staring." Ciel dug through his closet and pull out a pair of black sweatpants with a logo of his high school on it and a white baggy Kirby shirt. "It's not nice to stare at a boy's ass." he stated, sticking his tongue out as he threw the clothes at him.
"Well, don't be showing off your cute little ass to me, then." Sebastian flirted back.
Ciel laughed, a cute blush dusting his cheeks.
"You cute, little flirt." he grabbed out a pair of clothes for himself. "Get changed. I'll change in the bathroom." Ciel told him as he walked off.
As he closed the bathroom door behind him, his cheeks went a bright red. His heart began to race like a stallion. His hand curled into a fist as it went up to his heart.
"He was staring at me...He was checking me out..." his cheeks grew even more red. "Gosh, I shouldn't think of this right now! I need to get changed and make breakfast." he told himself.
Ciel shifted a pancake onto a plate as someone came up from behind.
"Well, it seems like the chef is busy."
Ciel chuckled as he poured more batter into the pan.
"Good morning to you too, Sebastian." Ciel said, putting the pan back onto the stove and he whirled around to look at Sebastian.
"What kind of pancakes are you making?" Sebastian asked.
"Apple cinnamon. Alois requests them every year on Christmas Day." Ciel told him as he flipped the pancake over.
"Sounds good." Sebastian murmured as he trapped Ciel against the counter.
Ciel's cheeks grew a bright red as he stared up at Sebastian.
"Se-Sebastian...What are you- - -" he froze as he felt Sebastian's nose brush lightly against his hair.
"Cookies..." he murmured just as Alois burst into the kitchen.
"Oi, when will the pancakes be do- - -" he then saw Sebastian cornering Ciel. "Oi, let the chef cook!" he said before going over, grabbing some of Sebastian's shirt, and yanking him into the living room.
Ciel sighed deeply as he turned back to the pan. His jaw dropped, his eye wide once he looked into the pan.
"It's burnt!"
"Well, thanks for giving me the burnt one, Ciel." Alois grumbled sarcastically as he bit into the pancake.
"No problem, Alois." Ciel replied as Wendy finished distributing presents.
"I apologize, Sebastian. We didn't think you were going to end up staying the night, so we didn't- - -"
"It's alright. I'll just watch you guys." Sebastian said as he finished his plate of pancakes.
"Are you sure? I mean, I would feel bad if- - -" Wendy was cut off again.
"Don't worry about it. I'm fine." Sebastian reassured her.
"Well...okay..." she trailed off before going to sit next to Peter near the tree.
"Okay, let's begin. The order we will go in is Alois, me, Wendy, and Peter." Ciel said, using his finger to demonstrate the order.
"Okay!" Alois chirped as he reached for his present, which was a box that had black wrapping paper all over it and a yellow ribbon wrapped on it. "This is from Lizzie." he said as he slid off the bow and tore off the paper.
He opened the box and gasped.
"Holy shit!" he turned the box upside down and he dumped out what might've been a bunch of Zelda and Kirby video games along with a Kirby, Meta Knight, and Link plush. "How'd she know I wanted this?!" he nearly exclaimed.
"She's our friend, did you forget that?" Ciel snapped with the roll of his eye.
"I know, but..." Alois picked up the Meta Knight plush and he rolled a small piece of the cape in between his finger.
"Well, let's move onto me." Ciel said.
As he was about to reach for a present, they heard someone's phone begin to ring.
"Whose phone is that?" Peter asked, arching an eyebrow in confusion.
"Ah, that must be mine." Sebastian spoke up as he reached for his phone and he answered it.
"Yes?" he answered. "...Bard? You're up? Gosh, you and your hangovers...At my apartment!? Who let you in?! Of course Ronald did...look, I'll be there in five." Sebastian said before hanging up.
"What does Bard need?" Alois questioned.
"Some comfort." Sebastian looked at Ciel. "I'll see you around." he told him before heading off to put on his shoes and slip on his jacket.
Ciel listened to the door close, suddenly feeling a little disappointed. That feeling washed away as Wendy brought him back into reality.
"Ciel, pick a present." she told him.
Ciel nodded slowly as he picked up a small box.
"Hm?" he shook it a little as he glanced at the tag. "It's from Sebastian..." he trailed off.
"Eh?!" Peter and Wendy exclaimed in unison.
"Open it!" Alois exclaimed as he shook him a little.
"Okay, okay!" Ciel whined as he tore off the red wrapping paper to reveal a black velvet box. He arched an eyebrow in confusion.
"Jewelry?" he questioned.
He opened the box and gasped softly. He slowly took the sapphire ring on a silver band out of the box and he examined it closely, silently admiring the work on it.
"Gorgeous..." Wendy trailed off.
"But...why a ring? It sounds more like a proposal, if you ask me." Alois stated.
Ciel continued to eye the ring, millions of thoughts racing through his head.
"A ring? What is this? A symbol of our growing friendship? Or does it mean something different?" a blush spread across his cheeks like a wildfire. "Is it a proposal?!" his mind screamed.
He found himself hopping up from the ground and rushing over to the coat rack.
"Ciel! Just where in the world are you going?!" Alois hollered.
Ciel quickly threw on a pair of boots along with a black down jacket that came down to his knees, and he practically flung himself out the door, the ring in his hand.
"SEBASTIAN!" he flew down the sidewalk, caring less about whether or not he would slip. He clumsily slipped the ring onto his thumb as he turned the corner.
He continued to run, finding himself in downtown Bluedale. As he turned around another corner, he found himself growing breathless.
"Shit...if I don't find him soon, I'll...!" he then found Sebastian walking down the sidwalk towards a crosswalk.
"SEBASTIAN!" he hollered.
The man turned to look at him just as he ran into his arms. Sebastian was caught offguard as slim arms wrapped themselves around his torso. Ciel buried his face a little deeper into the man's chest as he spoke.
"Thank you..." he murmured.
"Thanks? For what?" Sebastian questioned as Ciel released him.
"This..." Ciel trailed off, showing him the ring on his thumb.
"You opened it?" Ciel nodded his head. "And you ran all the way here to tell me thanks?" Ciel nodded his head again.
Sebastian shook his head while sighing. He then smiled as he scooped up the bluenette in his arms.
"I guess I'm going to have to take a detour." he said, which made Ciel chuckle a little as they made their way back to the house.
Me-AND there we go! One day late again? God, I suck. :/ Well, anway, please R&R! It motivates, you know. Also, kitties will live another day with each review. No reviews and kitties will die as fast as you could scream out Sebastian's name (wha, just sayin'). Not only that, you will get a virtual ring that looks just like Ciel's! X3
Well, I shall see you next weekend. Bai~
