I don't own any of the Black Butler or Kuroshitsuji characters. If I did, it'd end in yaio.
Sebastian sighed, pulling into the long Phantomhive driveway.
It was dark, cloudy, Monday afternoon. Sebastian and Ciel had planned on going to the movies but Sebastian was called in to work at eight because Grell had destroyed a recent blueprint for a project and Sebastian had to go fix it.
It was now three o'clock and it looked like rain. On his way there, he picked up more clothes from his house while most of his clothes were now in the washer and dryer in the Phantomhive mansion.
Sebastian parked his car, getting out of the car and grabbed his duffel bag. He swung it over his right shoulder, loosening his tie around his neck. His eyebrow twitch as he locked the car and heading up the stone stairs into the mansion.
He could faintly hear loud rock music playing somewhere in the mansion. He unlocked the front door, opening it with his own key, given to him by Ciel and tossing the bag to the side of the wall.
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time
Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine
Sebastian raised an eyebrow as he headed up the stairs, loosening the tie around his neck a bit more.
He was wearing a black vest and black slacks and a tie, naturally.
He followed the music to Ciel's room. It was playing loud enough to vibrate the door.
Well they said you was high-classed
Well, that was just a lie
Yeah they said you was high-classed
Well, that was just a lie
Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine!
Sebastian slowly cracked the door open, peering inside. At first, he could only see Ciel's bed, that was made up properly and the pillow cases changed. Then suddenly, someone jumped onto the bed, holding a hairbrush.
Sebastian covered his mouth to avoid bursting out laughing.
It was Ciel, in his blue striped boxers and opened nightshirt, singing along with the song and rocking out on his bed.
"You ain't nothin' but a hound dog Cryin' all the time!" Ciel sang along. Sebastian slowly cracked the door open more to get a better look and took out his cellphone, pressing the 'Record' button on it.
"You ain't nothin' but a hound dog, Cryin' all the time!"
Sebastian covered cupped his mouth with his hand, trying to not to laugh but it was almost just too much.
"Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit And you ain't no friend of mine!"
Sebastian opened the door all the way and leaned against the frame, watching Ciel dancing, his back to the taller man and in his boxers none the less.
Ciel did a twirl and looked at Sebastian. The look on his face was priceless and Sebastian started laughing.
"Y-YOU-!" Ciel screeched, trying to cover himself up and switched off the blaring stereo.
"Nice moves, Phantomhive." Sebastian laughed.
"Y-YOU-YOU-" Ciel stuttered, hiding behind the bed by sitting on his knees but keeping his head up and his hands on the bed.
"You're so cute when you're embarrassed." Sebastian continued laughed, almost doubling over. The blush on Ciel's face covering his whole face and his ears and a little bit of his neck.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" Ciel yelled.
"I'm taking care of you, aren't I?" Sebastian said, still recording the whole ordeal.
"I-I thought you were going to be gone all day!" Ciel yelled, still hiding from the older man by being behind the couch.
"Of course not. I just had to redraw a few blueprints that Grell destroyed. It shouldn't of taken that long but William was having a bit of trouble trying to get Grell back on schedule.
"You-you could've knocked you know!"
"I could...but you gave me a key here and I didn't want to interrupt your...alone time.." Sebastian smirked.
"B-Bastard!" Ciel said, crossing his arms and standing now.
"Yeah, but you have to deal with me for the rest of the month so you have a bastard to deal with." Sebastian laughed.
"Hmph!" Ciel said, glaring to one side. Sebastian stopped recording, putting his cellphone in his pocket.
"Anyway! While I was out...I got us a few things to do tonight." Sebastian said, smirking.
"Oh god.."
"Not like that! You spend too much time with Alois, Ciel." Sebastian sighed, rolling his eyes.
"Yep! Now what do you have planned, Michaelis?" Ciel asked, stalking over to Sebastian, still in his boxers and open nightshirt.
"Well, I'm going to make us some Japanese dinner and we are going to play a few video games." Sebastian smiled evilly.
"What sort of video games?" Ciel asked, now in front of Sebastian, with crossed arms and looking up at the adult.
"Just some 'interesting' games." Sebastian smirked.
"Oh god..."
"NOT LIKE THAT!"
"I know, I just wanted to say that. Haha!" Ciel chuckled at Sebastian's expression. "What are the games called?"
"Slenderman, Ib, Calling and Amnesia: The Dark Descent." Sebastian answered, smirking.
"Wait...Those are all horror games!" Ciel said, paling visibly.
"Yes, yes they are. I thought we could play a few together. You play the shorter ones, Ib and Slenderman and I watch you and help you and then I play the Calling and we take turns playing Amnesia." Sebastian smiled.
"O-Oh god..." Ciel said, his eyes widening.
"Are you scared, Ciel? We haven't even started any of the games. Besides, Ib isn't that scary." Sebastian said.
"N-No, Fool! I'm not scared!"
"Good!" Sebastian said, twirling on the ball of his foot. "Then I should probably rent The Ring 1 and 2, The Grudge, a few Saw movies and The Exorcist for a scary movie marathon tomorrow night!"
"Y-you twisted bastard!" Ciel said.
"Scared?"
"No! ACK!" Ciel was suddenly up in the air. He quickly wrapped his arms around Sebastian's neck. "What the heck are you doing?!"
"Carrying you. It's time for lunch. I'm making sandwiches." Sebastian smirked as Ciel clung to him.
"You're doing this all on purpose, aren't you?"
"A little bit, yes." Sebastian laughed, putting an arm under Ciel's thighs and the other on his lower back so he wouldn't drop the boy.
"Wait! I'm not dressed!"
"And?"
"Mey-Rin, Finny and Bard could see me in my underwear!" Ciel said, trying to wiggle free of the man's grasp.
"Don't worry, they're not here."
"..." Ciel pushed off Sebastian's shoulders a little bit.
"Where are they!?" Ciel yelled.
"It's Saturday. They get a day off."
"S-Since when?!"
"Since...I came to take care of you?"
"Grr.." Cirl growled. "Just don't drop me."
"Wouldn't dream of it." Sebastian chuckled, walking down the stairs.
"..." Ciel was now leaning over his shoulder, his arms around Sebastian's neck.
"CIEL!"
The front door burst open as Sebastian walked in front of it.
It was none other than Alois Trancy and Claude.
"Wha...What are you two doing?!" Alois screeched.
"Dear god..." Ciel said, putting his face in his hands.
"I'm carrying him to lunch." Sebastian said, grinning at Ciel's embarrassment.
"In his underwear?"
"I found him like this." Sebastian explained.
"Put me down." Ciel said.
"Fine, fine." Sebastian chuckled, putting the young Phantomhive on his feet.
"Ek! The floor...it's freezing!" Ciel squealed, jumping onto Sebastian's back.
"Ciel...why are you in your underwear anyway?" Alois asked, raising an eyebrow at the scene.
"I was bored and I thought this douche was going to be gone most of the day." Ciel said, poking Sebastian from his place on his back.
"Don't say something that'll get your butt on the floor, Phantomhive." Sebastian warned.
"What were you doing anyway?" Claude asked.
"He was singing and dancing in his room to 'Hound Dog'."
"And I was having a good time, thank you!" Ciel growled out. "Till you came up there and interrupted me!"
"Let's just get some lunch. We're on a lunch break." Alois rolled his eyes.
"Fine." Ciel huffed. Sebastian grabbed Ciel off his back, putting him in front of him and raised him up near Sebastian's shoulders, putting an arm under Ciel's bare legs to support him.
"W-Whoa!" Ciel said, putting his hands on Sebastian's shoulder for support.
"You two are so together, right?" Alois giggled.
"NO!" Ciel yelled, his eyes flaring but he was still blushing.
"Not yet anyway!" Sebastian teased. Ciel's eye twitched.
"I'm gonna beat your face in when you fall asleep." Ciel threatened, growling.
"You two are so perfect together, anyway! What's the problem?" Alois giggled.
"He's like 12 years older than me!" Ciel hissed. They headed towards the dining room.
"That didn't stop Claude from making a move on me!" Alois said, poking Claude a bit, making him roll his eyes.
"..." Ciel just crossed his arms and huffed, blushing darkly. Sebastian chuckled, glancing up at the childish face of the Phantomhive.
"So, what are you two doing today since today is another work day for Claude and me?" Alois asked. They enter the dining room and Sebastian seated Ciel at the head of the table.
"We're planning on having a horror game marathon." Sebastian chuckled darkly.
"We are not!" Ciel shouted.
"Are you scared?"
"No!"
"Then we're playing." Sebastian smirked.
".." Ciel crossed his arms again and pouted. Alois sat down next to him and Claude called the seat next to Alois. Sebastian and Claude went into the kitchen to prepare lunch.
"Ciel, why are you denying Sebastian like that, anyway?" Alois asked, putting his chin in his hands and his elbows on the edge of the table, forgetting his manners again.
"Alois, he's twelve years older than me, CEO of another company and has girls falling at his feet whenever he goes out." Ciel said.
"And?"
"It's pedophile, my stepfather will kill me for getting involved in another company and the angry fangirls will kill me if I do actually get together with him. Which I won't. EVER." Ciel said.
"Ciel, if you love someone so much more than you ever had, then age doesn't matter, he'll protect you from your stepfather and the fangirls. What's the problem, really?" Ciel's cheeks flushed a bit and he glanced away from Alois.
"Ciel?"
"I...I don't roll that way, Alois. You know that!" Ciel said, suddenly snapping.
"Liar." Alois shot back. "It's so obvious that you're too blind to see it!"
"Alois, I'm not like that and you know perfectly well. Besides, he wouldn't ever be able to save himself from Elizabeth." Alois winced at that statement.
"Ciel, no one would judge if you step into the light a little."
"Judge me? Alois, don't you know who I am? I'm Ciel Phantomhive, I don't give two shits about what other people think of me!" Ciel said angrily, his eyes flaring a bit.
"Ciel, tell me, now! What is the reason you won't get together with Sebastian?" Alois hissed, glaring back at Ciel.
"I have my own rights as a citizen of where ever we live to not tell you my reasons. And you are going to deal with it, no matter what!" Ciel said, staring Alois down.
"Ciel!" Alois barked. "You're being childish!"
"Just because I don't tell you my reasons, it makes me childish?!"
"YES!"
"Bitch, please! You are the definition of the word childish!"
"Answer my question!" Alois said, standing up, leaning over the table towards Ciel.
"I already did!" Ciel said, also getting up in return, his hands on the table and barking at Alois.
"Those reasons don't hold any water!"
"Look, I'm just not ready to go out with anybody, yet! HAPPY?"
"NO!"
"FUCK YOU!"
"FUCK YOU TOO!"
"YOU'RE FULL OF SHIT!"
"YOU'RE THE DEFFINITION OF IT!"
"OH YEAH, WELL WHEN SOMEONE LOOKS UP THE WORD 'ASSHOLE' THERE'S A PICTURE OF YOU BESIDE THE WORD!"
"GO DIE IN A HOLE!"
"GO GET BRUTALLY MURDERED AND SAVAGED BY A PACK OF WOLVES, YOU CORNER STORE TRANNY!"
"I HOPE YOU GET RUN OVER BY A CAR, A TRUCK, AND A CARRIAGE!"
"I HOPE YOU GET RUN OVER BY A TRAIN!"
"I HOPE YOU GET SACRIFICED BY A CULT TO A DEMON!"
"ROT IN HELL, TRANCY!"
"MEET YOU THERE, PHANTOMHIVE!"
"OI!" Claude yelled as he and Sebastian ran in.
"What the hell are you two yelling about?!" Sebastian yelled. They were a bit late because Alois had jumped over the table and tackled Ciel backwards onto his chair, which also fell back.
"ARGH!" Ciel hissed, hitting his head. "FUCK YOU, ALOIS!"
"DIE IN A DITCH, BITCH!" Alois shouted. Ciel and Alois started kicking and hitting each other.
"DON'T YOU DARE BITE ME YOU SON OF A BITCH!"
"GET YOUR ELBOW OUT OF MY EYE, YOU LITTLE WHORE!"
Claude and Sebastian ran over, peeling the two boys off one another, Ciel in Sebastian's arms, Alois in Claude's.
"LET ME AT THAT BITCH; I'LL SHOW HIM HELL!" Alois yelled, snarling like an animal.
"I'LL SHOW YOU WHAT A PHANTOMHIVE REALLY IS, YOU STUPID WHORE!"
"Both of you, calm yourselves!" Sebastian yelled.
"Alois, control yourself!" Claude said. Alois elbowed Claude in the face, knocking his glasses off. Ciel had tangled his own arm in Sebastian's tie, almost choking the older man.
"DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!" Both of them yelled at the same time.
Finally, after a good twenty minutes, Sebastian and Claude managed to tie the boys to chairs on separate side of the room.
"Now..." Claude said, fixing his luckily not broken glasses. "What were you two fighting about?"
Alois spat on the floor near Claude and Ciel sneered.
"Wow..." Sebastian sighed. "You two are both acting very childish and stupid right now! "
"Says the ones who tied us up to chairs!" Alois and Ciel shouted at the same time.
"Not the point! Now you two need to talk it out, civilly. And with no yelling."
"Why is there smoke coming from the kitchen?" Ciel asked.
"Aw, shit! We left the pork on the stove!" Claude said as him and Sebastian running into the kitchen. Ciel shifted his arm, taking his hand out of his pocket, pulling out his lighter. He bit his tongue, flicking it on and on the rope. It burned slowly and there was a small snap as it broke apart.
Ciel stood up, brushing the rope off his arms. He grinned at Alois as he walked over to him. He flicked the lighter on again, burning a piece of his rope and it snapped also. Alois snickered brushing the rope off. Ciel took out a cigarette, putting it in his mouth and lighting it.
Ciel opened a duffel bag by the door and slipped on some jeans, took off his night-shirt and pulled on a dark blue long sleeve shirt then a black vest.
"Let's go before they get back!" Ciel whispered.
"Allons-y!" Alois snickered. Ciel grabbed the duffel bag and Alois picked up an envelope and together, they snuck out of the dining room, out into the front room, and out the door.
"You called them, right?"
"Yep! He said he's love us to come back for another gig as long as we get back in time to practice a bit."
"Yeah, we're still out of practice. Make sure you call Claude and Sebastian later."
"I will. Now come on, hurry!" Alois grabbed Ciel's hand and they ran across the lawn, towards the city park.
Ciel and Alois's feet crunched against the wet snow against the ground, making a splashing noise as they ran. Barely a few minutes passed and they were in front of the park.
In flat middle of the Park was a large circus tent with rides and booths on the sides. They were still setting up but only a few things were needed to be done.
In front of everything that was there was a large archway, a colorful sign hanging from it. Ciel and Alois stopped in front of it, panting loudly. Ciel was resting his hands on his knees, breathing really hard.
"Y-You okay?" Alois asked.
"Y-Yeah..It's just a bit too cold to run around like that..." Ciel said, wiping his mouth.
A man around the age of twenty-five appeared at the entrance in front of the boys. He had flaming red spiky hair and purple eyes. He wore a bit of eye make up which was blue and made a tear drop on his left eye. He wore a white checkered shirt with a large purple coat and a yellow bow around his neck and black short and black and white boots that go up to his knees and curl up a bit at the toe.
"Well, well, what do we have here?" He questioned, crossing his arms.
"..."Ciel and Alois said nothing, still catching their breaths.
"Seems like we got some early ons. Sorry kids, but the circus won't be open till tonight. We're still getting ready." He continued.
"T-That's why we're here!" Ciel said. The man raised an eyebrow, standing tall and bended from his hips, leaning a little close to Ciel.
"Hmmm..." the man said. Ciel glanced at him, before shooting off a big smile.
"Smile! I knew I recognized that face from somewhere! How have you been, kiddo?!" He laughed, grabbed Ciel by the waist and giving him a big hug. Ciel laughed and hugged him back.
"I've been better, Joker! Sorry, but we couldn't get Suit to come. We have no clue to where he is!"
"We?" Joker asked, looking at Alois. Alois gave off a trademark grin. "Grin! Aw, we almost all together!" He hugged Alois in the same fashion as he had hugged Ciel.
"My, you two have grown! I remember when you were so little, both of you could fit inside the cannon at the same time and still have room for Doll." Joker laughed.
"Yeah, well, I've been drinking plenty of 'milk'!" Alois chuckled. "Ciel is still such a shortie!" He hugged Ciel from behind, wrapping an arm around his neck and poking his cheek.
"Alois..." Ciel glared at Alois, almost growling.
"Ah, so full of spirit still, Smile! Come on, you two! Doll has been working on your costumes since Christmas! We weren't sure of the size so we looked it up on the computer but it might not be accurate!" He ushered the two into the teens into the circus and together they head to the giant tent.
"We also got to work on your skills, seeing as its been years since we even worked together on this!" Joker chuckled.
"Yeah, we figured. We've been working out a bit extra lately, practicing flexibility, shooting, dart throwing, and every now and then a bit of juggling. We're ready for whatever you got for us, Joker!" Alois said, putting a hand on his arm, flexing his arm a bit, grinning madly.
"Oh really, Grin? Well, what we got planned for you two has nothing to do with those things, expect the flexibility. "Joker said.
"Well...Shit." Ciel muttered, puffing on a cigarette.
"Smile!" A voice shouted. Ciel was hug-tackled from behind but he caught himself before the ground and his face could get acquainted.
"H-huh?!" Ciel stuttered, catching his cigarette.
"Doll!" Alois squealed.
"Grin!" the figure squealed back, hugging Alois also.
"Hm?" Joker said, turning around. "Ah, Doll seems to of found her two favorite boys." he chuckled.
"Oh PLEEAAASSSEE, Joker! They're yours, too!" Doll said, wrapping her arms around the duo's neck, almost choking them.
Ciel took a puff from his cigarette, before wriggling free of her grasp.
Doll was a year older than Ciel and Alois, wearing baggy clothes and having brown hair and bright blue eyes. Her hair covered her left eye perfectly and it was at least shoulder-length.
"Smile! When did you start smoking!?" Doll gasped. "That's so grown up of you!" Ciel stared a moment.
"Um..since about four years ago?"
"You two are what, fourteen now?" Doll asked
"That's right!" Alois said, smirking.
"You shouldn't be smoking, Smile! It's not good for you!" Doll said.
"Doll, you seem different...almost more...feimiene!" Alois noted.
"Oh yeah, she met some girls her age and they turned her into this." Joker explained. Ciel nodded, crossing his arms.
"Makes sense."
"Smile, take that out of your mouth and kill it! Only Jumbo gets to play with fire!" Doll ordered.
Ciel stared at her, shooting a big old smile at her. He took a deep breath through the cigarette, blowing a perfect ring of smoke into the cloudy sky.
"Ta-da!"
"You're still made at me for eating all the candy, aren't you?" Doll asked.
"Yep." Ciel replied, in a unamused tone.
"I told you I was sorry! I really didn't know they were yours, Smile!" Doll whined. "Honest to heart, hope to God, take a pole through my eye."
Ciel winced at that.
"Alright, alright, no need to swear." Joker chuckled. "Come on you three, we gotta practice and stay out of the way of the others so they can finish the circus!"
He ushered the kids into the large orange and red striped tent.
"Smile, Grin..." Joker began.
Alois and Ciel's eyes widen as wide as dinner plates.
"Welcome back to Noah's Ark Circus."
Author's Note: Okay, let's recape. Alois and Ciel planned on doing the fight thing to distract Claude and Sebastian long enough to head to the circus, just to screw with their heads. I had to make Doll more girly a bit, I'm sorry DX She travels a lot, she'll pick it up eventually.
So, something went on with Doll and 'Smile'. DUN DUN DUNN? I don't know what I'm doing anymore :D I'm winging it!
Leave a review!
See ya later, Alligators!
