Bathroom. He needed a bathroom. Now.

Alois did his best to maneuver his way through the crowded restaurant. People shoved and pushed as they passed him. Tch, typical. Nobody ever paid any mind to him, with the exception of Claude that is. But really, who would want him to? Stupid disgusting, narcissistic pig. He could feel the anger building in his chest and mind. He didn't know what had come over him, but he suddenly found himself in an awful situation where he feared he would snap. Irritation plagued him; his own skin felt uncomfortable.

He growled as yet another person shoved him; if only he had a death note. Yes, even Alois fantasized of having the supernatural power to kill people.

Relief flooded through him as he neared the bathrooms. There he would be able to escape the chaos that was the crowed building. He nearly ran in his need to escape, instead laughing loudly he drew angered stares of annoyance. Like he cared. The blonde grasped the cold metal handle and swung it open. Simultaneously a small yelp followed by a thud sounded on the other side.

Oops.

"My bad." he walked in nonchalantly as if he had done nothing wrong; the heels of his shoes clicking on the linoleum tiles. He didn't bother to look at the boy he had just hit with a door. If he did they would surely expect an apology, which he was not going to give.

"Is that any way to treat your friends?" Alois stopped where he was at the sound of a familiar voice.

"Honestly, I thought you were better than that." the blonde spun around quickly to see his dark haired prince standing behind him; rubbing his forehead where a bump was already forming.

"Ciel! " he ran towards the shorter boy, "I'm so sorry, I didn't know it was you."

"Clearly." Alois gently pushed Ciel's hair up and away from his forehead. It was red where the door had made contact and the bump was clear as day.

"Oh, wow. I'm really sorry Ciel." the younger boy lightly smacked his hand away before brushing his fingers through his hair to pull it back the way it normally was.

"Whatever. Next time though, be a little more careful would you? I don't want to have to worry about doors flying open to hit me in the head."

"R-right. Sorry."

"Stop saying that!" Ciel's voice echoed in the small space, "Sorry doesn't fix anything, okay? So just stop. I get it already. I forgive you. That's what friends are for."

Alois stood rooted to the spot; his blue eyes wide with shock. Friends? Did Ciel Phantomhive just refer to himself as his friend? His heart thudded loudly in his chest; he was sure the boy could hear it, he must.

"What's wrong with you?"

"...friends?"

"Isn't that what you said we were?" Ciel looked at him expectantly.

"Yes...but."

"But what?"

"I...I thought you said you hated me..." Alois didn't know whether it was shock or from the rush of adrenalin, but he felt light headed.

Ciel stood there and watched him without answering. His eyes studied him for what seemed like forever.

"I don't hate you."

Sebastian sat at the table alone quietly picking at his food. Ciel had been in there for an awfully long time. Perhaps he fell in. it wouldn't surprise him. Madame Red had mentioned a story long ago of when Ciel was a child being potty trained; in which case he had indeed fallen in.

"How is everything?" a high female voice sounded to his left.

"Just fine, thank you."

"Speak for yourself." Both Sebastian and the waitress turned around to find the young Phantomhive. Ciel flashed a quick smile before scooting into the seat opposite of the older male.

"Nice of you to join me, Young Master."

"Be quiet and eat your food." Sebastian smiled a cunning grin before turning his attention to the platter in front of him.

"Do you have something to say?"

"Like what?" Sebastian feigned surprise.

"As if I would know what goes through that dumb head of yours."

"You should have some idea. We've been together for over two years now after all."

"Hmph." As much as he'd hate to admit it, Sebastian was right. Two years was a long time. Adding in the fact that they had a fairly good relationship, he came to the conclusion that maybe he was not as good a friend as he thought he was. Perhaps they would plan something for tomorrow. Oh! But then there was Lizzy's party he was supposed to attend. Great, sounds like fun. Not.

"Sebastian, do we have anything planned on Sunday?"

"No, not yet."

"Then take note not to make any plans. We're going out."

"Oh? And where to might I add."

"That's your job. Nothing fancy."

"Yes, my Lord."
