. Ciel groaned to himself and flopped down on his couch. "Oh god. I'm such a terrible friend." He covered his face with a pillow and sighed deeply. "Says who? I think you're a great friend." Ciel sat up quickly before grabbing at his chest. "Sebastian! You scared me! Don't sneak up on me like that." He pouted his lips. Sebastian was sitting on the arm of the sofa, legs crossed gracefully. He was wearing fitting black slacks and a matching silk black top that showed his chest off a bit, a black cloak with red embroidery on the bottom to finish it up. He looked gorgeous. "Oh, I'm sorry, little lord. I didn't mean to give you a fright." He slid off the sofa and moved to sit next to the small boy. Ciel laid his head in Sebastians lap, letting the older man run his fingers through his hair. "It's okay. I'm just glad it was you and not someone else. I don't want to see anyone else, really. Well, unless it was Alois. I really want to see him" Ciel said quietly. "What you don't want to see your lover boy?" Sebastian teased, earning him a smack in the arm. "Oh you shut up. I'm having troubles as it is. I don't need you teasing me about it." Sebastian gave a snort of disapproval. "Oh?" Ciel glared at the man above him," What's that for?" Sebastian put his hands up defensively. "Nothing, nothing!"

"No, say it."

"I don't have anything to say."

"I call bullshit, asshole. What was that snort for."

Sebastian sighed and rolled his eyes. "Ciel, please, you already know how I feel about him-That Claude- Who even names their child Claude?!" "Um, you were named Sebastian, might I point out." "Sebastian is a fantastic name, mind you! Anyway, I digress. I don't like him, and I thought I made that pretty obvious." Ciel narrowed his eyes and crossed his arms, completely unamused. "Yeah I know, considering I almost got killed by a falling sand weight." "Oh come on, that was an accident! I didn't mean to. It was supposed to hit him!" Ciel sat up and turned to Sebastian. "You are so psychotically obsessive, and I don't know how to feel about it." Sebastian held up a finger and spoke defensively,"Um, excuse me, I prefer protective or possessive. I'm not psychotic…" He paused before shrugging," Kinda." Ciel pushed off the couch with a scoff. "Kinda." He repeated, walking over to the ice bucket and pulling out a bottle of wine. "Ciel. You're not old enough to drink." Sebastian said, with a smirk. Ciel rolled his eyes and pulled out the cork. "Please, save it. I've been drinking since I was sixteen. I'm actually a responsible drinker, believe it or not." He said, proceeding to pour two glasses of Pinot Noir. He sat back down and handed a glass to Sebastian, bringing his legs crisscrossed. "That might be, but you've a performance tonight. We don't need you buzzed, or worse." "I just want a glass now! I'm tired, and I want to relax before tonight." Ciel exclaimed. Sebastian was quiet for a moment before speaking once more. "What's on your mind?" He said, sipping his drink. Ciel sighed and did the same. "Well, you're observant." Sebastian rolled his eyes and his sass. "It's Alois, you see," Ciel slumped a little," I was really mean last night. I mean, I told him about you because I thought he would understand, but he just thought I was crazy and I got mad and said some mean things. In hindsight though, I probably did sound crazy, and I feel terrible now. I think he's mad at me or something because he didn't come to practice today. He never misses practice. Never ever!" Ciel cried out. "I don't think he could stay mad at you Ciel. I think that maybe he wasn't feeling well. It's probably nothing, Dear." Sebastian smiled reassuringly at Ciel, trying to cheer him up from his sudden depression. "He's my best friend, Sebastian… I don't know what I'd do if I lost him." Ciel gazed into his glass, giving it a few swirls. "I know. And that's why I don't think—" "Ciel? It's me, Claude. Can I come in?" Ciel and Sebastian stared at each other, eyes wide, before running about, Sebastian hopping up and rushing to the mirror, leaving his glass on the side table. "Um, yeah! Just, gimme a minute." He stressed. He ran to Sebastian, giving him a kiss on the cheek. "Come back later. Okay?" He asked, biting his lip. He was answered with a kiss and a smile, before Sebastian went into the mirror, the shadows swallowing his figure. "Ciel? Is everything okay in there?" Claude questioned from the other side of the door. Ciel opened it quickly and smiled. "Everything's fine. Come in, please." He said, moving so he could enter.


Claude smiled and did such. Claude walked in and sat down where Sebastian was moments before. He looked nervous almost, and Ciel couldn't think of any reason for him to feel that way. "I saw you at practice. Great job, as usual. But where were you last night? I was worried." He said, frowning. Ciel stuttered, face red. "O-oh you know, I was, ah, I went for a walk. I couldn't sleep. Adrenaline pumping, you know." Well. That was a terrible lie. You're doomed. There's no way he's going to believ—"Oh thank god. I thought something bad happened to you." Claude sighed in relief, pushing his glasses up, his amber eyes shining in the light. Ciel stood there relieved, and wiped away his nervous sweat. "No, im fine. Promise. I'm sorry I worried you though, I didn't mean to" Ciel sat down on the edge of the couch, fiddling with his thumbs. Claude smiled at Ciel and wrapped his arm around his waist, pulling him off the couch arm and onto his lap. He nuzzled his hair and spoke quietly into Ciels ear. "I'm just glad you're safe." Ciel bit his lip, feeling guilty about the current events. He politely got up and moved over to the other side of the couch, much to Claude's distaste. Ciel bit his lip and thought for a moment, trying to figure out a way to get Claude to leave. "Claude, I appreciate you coming over, I really do, but I need to go talk to Alois." Which wasn't a lie at all, but a good excuse to leave nonetheless. "Alois? What do you need to see Alois for?" He said rather quickly. Ciel raised an eyebrow. "I need to apologize to him. I said some mean things last night and I need to fix things." Claude nodded his head slowly, as if trying to comprehend what he said. "Yeah, alright. I guess I'll just see you later then, alright?" He stood up and gave Ciel a smile. Ciel smiled back "Yeah, sure thing." Claude pulled him into a hug, kissing his head. "I'll see you later, alright?" "Yeah, okay."


Ciel decided to take the long way to Alois' room, walking down the stairs and through various twists and turns until he managed to make his way to the garden. He sat down in a stone bench and put his head in his hands. That was a very unexpected, and slightly unwanted visit from Claude, and Ciel couldn't help but feel guilty for thinking of Claude as unwanted in anyway. No, I cant do this, he thought to himself. I cant make myself feel or not feel a certain way. Yes, I've only known Sebastian for a limited amount of time, but if you think about it, I haven't really known Claude much either. I know who he used to be. I don't know him now, He lectured himself, and even though I haven't known Sebastian by name, I've still known him and been around him longer than anyone else. He's been there for me when I thought I had no one, and even though its not Claudes fault, he wasn't. Ciel rubbed his temple. He had to come clean. he couldn't lead Claude on like this- he didn't deserve it! He would explain to Claude that the spark that was once there wasn't anymore. He'd understand hopefully. And then he'd tell Sebastian his feelings, even though he wasn't so sure about how exactly he felt, he knew that he loved Sebastian, in one way or another. Ciel let out a deep breath, and turned his head, his attention being directed to a bush or blood red roses. He went to go pick one off of the bush, forgetting about the thorns and pricking himself deeply. He pulled his hand back as blood dripped down his thumb and onto the ground. He grumbled to himself and put his finger into his mouth, the metallic taste of blood spreading over his tongue, his nose crinkling in distaste.

He sighed and stood up, ready to face Alois. He slowly made his way to Alois' room, his heart beating and his thoughts moving at a mile a minute. He finally made his way to his friends room and have his door a small knock. "Alois? Alois, it's me Ciel. Can I please come in?" Ciel paused before knocking on Alois' door again, hopping from one foot to another. "I'm coming, stop that knocking!" Ciel heard Alois spew some obscenities from the behind the door before opening it. "Hey. What up?" He questioned, rubbing his head. "Can… I come in?" Ciel bit his lip. Alois didn't answer and went further into his room , but left the door open for Ciel. Ciel walked in and shut the door behind him. He crinkled his nose as he looked around. There were clothes and plates everywhere, bottles scattered around the room. "You need to clean up in here, you know." Alois snorted," You don't see me criticizing your room when I come over... Why did you come over though?" He questioned. Ciel frowned. "I wanted to apologize. I'm sorry for snapping at you last night. I didn't mean to. And I hope you're not mad at me but if you are I understand." Ciel's head hung low. Alois stared at him incredulously. "Ciel, I'm not mad at you. I mean, I appreciate the apology, but really, im not mad. If anyone should be apologizing it should be me. You trusted me and I didn't listen. I don't know what's happening, but if you're that passionate about it ill totally be along for the ride." Ciel smiled softly at Alois, his heart warm. "Thanks, Ali. I know it's hard to understand, but hopefully one day you will." "Me too Ciel."
