Chapter 2

XXX

Several weeks had come and gone since the arrival of the new guests to the Phantomhive estate. The Christmas vacation had ended and New Years had come and gone fast. The start of the new years started with the children going back to school and the teachers doing their best to get everyone out of the resting mode and back to learning mode. So far everything went smoothly.

The band members still felt out of place in the mansion. Then again who wouldn't when you were just randomly dumped on someone else and imposing all the time? Well they did in a way. The only times they'd ever seen Ciel and Sebastian was to eat. At times, they both wouldn't show up at all; only the plates of food and the clinking of glass and silverware was to accompany them.

The meals were always prepared and set on the table before they even entered the dinning area. On days were it was really quite to a point they'd all feel alone; even if they were all besides each other, they would walk the through the only hall they knew and would look at the paintings on the walls, humming their favorite songs from old albums and their newest release: Midnight Memories. They always found something interesting inside the manor of the child. Everything in the manor looked like it belonged to an antique store and not in the modern era. Even so, it was not bad. In fact, they thought it was nice in a way. It was a nice change in scenery, giving off a comforting feeling somehow. A feeling that hinted that once in the manor there was the feeling of warmth. Once there was love. And that once Ciel was a child who had many wonderful feelings including his sad ones, but over more he had a family.

"What are we gonna do?" came the muffled voice from the young adult laying flat on his stomach using his chin for the support of his head. He was laying down like a penguin going downhill a mountain of snow in the icy dessert land. For a while he laid there and thought. The response he knew he was going to receive didn't please him at all. There was really nothing you could do in the manor, much less go out of it without the consent of Ciel and Sebastian. Harry, still laying on his stomach, wiggled awkwardly in his penguin position. The quietness was something to get used to wether you liked it or not. Seeing a bored Harry gave Louis a funny idea. Without a word Louis flopped onto the bed on top of Harry's back. Louis laughed childishly at the groaning Harry. Groaning Harry lifted his upper half with his elbows and with Louis still sitting on his back. "Why'd you do that for?" asked Harry whining like a child would on things he was displeased with. Louis positioned himself so Harry would be looking at him at an upside down angle. Louis's hair falling down straight towards the ground by gravity. "Well," he said. "I'm bored. Your bored. We're all bored." Louis paused for a moment, got off of Harry's back and sat beside him. Harry sat up as well and looked at his surroundings in the room. It was true. They were bored, bored like they've never felt before. Liam stood up and stretched till the pop of his joints was heard. "Well," he said. "I don't know about you, but I'm gonna take a quick shower." Liam grabbed some clothes from his duffled bag,walked towards the bathroom, closed the doors, and locked them behind him. And that's how it went. One by one the band members took turns washing for the day to come. When they all had finished, they has though for a little while longer, and eventually decided to 'hang' with Ciel and Sebastian. That was if the boy allowed them to.

Slowly the boys opened the large doors to their room with faint creaks. Their heads sticking out they looked both ways as if crossing the street. They had no reason to be cautious, but they did so anyway. They stepped out while leaning back to close the doors at the same time. Only the click of the door was heard. Their footsteps shuffled through the carpeted floor. The hallway they walked through was silent. And they had wondered at times if Ciel and Sebastian were even in the manor. Walking pass many rooms they came across one with a slightly ajar door. The closer they got the louder the whispers seemed.

"Who's there?" asked Harry in a slight whisper. Zayn went forward and tried to make out the voices. Zayn's eyebrows furrowed and turn to Harry.

"Don't know. But it has to be Ciel and Sebastian. I mean, who else would be in here?" as he said those words Harry lost his balance on his toes and stumbled forward banging the doors wide open. Tumbling onto the floor, Harry laid there sprawled on his back. His crew instinctively froze with their hands outstretched in a failed attempt to reach Harry in time. The voices stopped the moment Harry bursted into the room and onto the floor. Harry tried to get back on his feet, but he was cut off short when one of the voices spoke.

"Well, well, well," said Sebastian. "Would you look at this." Smiling Sebastian stood from his seat on the arm of the chair and walked towards Harry. Sebastian stretched out a hand and helped Harry to his feet.
"Sorry. So sorry. I umm-" Harry tried to explain himself, but found no words to say. What was there to say?

Hi. Oh, I just fell through your door in the middle of your conversation because me and my buds were spying on you.

Hell no. It's pretty obvious what your trying to do. Of course it also wasn't because they were nosy or anything- well, maybe just a little. It was only curiosity. It was just an act of curiosity...It wasn't spying if they really didn't mean it...or was it something else?

Once Harry was back on his feet the rest of the members walked into the room with a motion from Sebastian. The boys awkwardly stood in a line and let the silence sink in. Louis noticed that sitting on the chair was Ciel. Sitting up, legs crossed, and his elbow resting on the other side of the chair with his hand supporting his head under his chin. His eyes closed making him look asleep. Ciel opened them slightly and scanned the row of boys in front of him.

"Did you need anything?" he asked not bothering to look at them directly.

"Well," said Louis. "We just wanted to know if maybe, uh, you know, let us out for a bit." Louis fumbled with his hands as he spoke. Louis didn't meet Ciel nor Sebastian in the eyes as his words left his mouth. Louis suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder. Louis turned to see Zayn, patting his shoulder for comfort. "And why should I allow that to happen?" asked Ciel as he rose from his position of the chair. The light in the room was a bit dim but enough to see clearly. And that was the first time they had noticed the small black object on the right side of Ciel's eye. When they first met Ciel it occurred to them that they didn't get a good look at him at all. At least not entirely. His face was always covered by that hoodie he wore that day. Even during dinner he wore it, nor did he take it off when searching for his rings. Yet, they had never said a word about it. And they wondered why they hadn't noticed it until now. Now that they looked really closely at Ciel under the dimmed lights. Maybe they were to focused on their new surroundings to notice. Although not noticing, they somehow felt something was definitely off. Instead they shrugged it off as jitters.

"What?" asked Ciel, slightly annoyed and discomforted with the way the boys were staring at him. Ciel didn't have anything strange on him. His clothing didn't look weird at all. They looked normal to him.

"Nothing. Sorry for staring." was the reply. It was low and mumbled but audible enough to hear. "I guess it doesn't matter." said Ciel. "Just please go, back to your quarters or go do something that causes you and the place no harm." ordered Ciel as he turned his back towards them. They were cutting it close. Don't be pushy and follow what Ciel instructed, or be pushy and cut Ciel's patience short. Technically speaking, Ciel was ok with the one direction boys, considering they hardly knew the child. Ciel didn't make them wake up so early in the morning or woke them up after five minutes when they actually went to sleep. Of course, Ciel, wasn't management either. The stupid contract that they were all practically forced to sign. The rule of Harry and Louis not being able to be together, at all, in public. That being together all the time was causing an uproar amongst the fan base. Causing abnormal assumptions among the two friends. Even if there was something going on, it was nobodies business, unless they wanted the world to know, which was a fifty-fifty percent chance. As for Zayn, Liam, and Niall, nothing drastic. Just to keep details in secrecy from fans or any others that might oppose in relative wise. Abiding by the terms in the contract was also a must. Then sudden management thought that a break from the fame light would go the boys some good. It did actually. They were all lacking sleep and their nutrition was starting to go downhill. Even though their vitamins were coming from blended crap and poured into the cylindrical bottle. Their skin, covered in makeup 24/7, to hide the signs of white spots. That was the reason they'd been given them the green liquid to drink. Then they wondered why management had decided to let them take a break. For sure they'd loose money, but instead they gained more profit from the fans to bring the boys back. But seriously, this was a once-in-a-lifetime deal, it was just that rare to them. Not only that it wasn't just a few days. It would be weeks. Maybe even more! That was as good as it got to be honest. Who knows, soon, very soon, management will want them back. They did after all held the contract minding them together for a good couple of years.

"Can we at least stay here?" asked Harry. He shifted slightly from foot to foot. He looked like a child that just got scolded by his parents. Like a child asking for a toy he knew he'd be denied but asked either way. "Well of course." said Ciel. "Your gonna have to stay. I am after all assigned to you, now am I?" answered Ciel facing Harry. His response was also a rhetorical question.
"Well yea, but," started the curly-waved haired boy. "I meant here. In this room." The carpeted floor became amusing to Harry as he stared at it while he felt the boys gaze to him. The words "With you two" were added at then when Harry looked up from his spot on the floor to look ahead between Ciel and Sebastian at a book shelf filled with the said books.

Why are we so scared of this boy! Were older than him by a lot. We shouldn't be afraid. So why!?

Before Ciel could answer, Sebastian cut in.

"I'll go bring us all something to drink and small snacks to eat on as well." Said the man as he walked out the door to bring the promised goods. Ciel stared at at the door Sebastian had just walked out of with a glare. With a quick motion if his head, he turned to face the backs of the books that became interesting to him. The one direction boys took a seat on the floor as once again the silence over came the room.

"There's a couch you know." Ciel broke the silence of the room. Looking up from his thick hard covered book he glanced over to the couch for the boys to sit on.

"Ok. Thanks."

It had been a while before Sebastian came back with the drinks and sweets for a snack. Before Sebastian entered the room, the boys were on their phones playing games and listening to all kinds of music. Small talk and laughter filled the room. Ciel once in a while looked up from his book and glanced at the boys who sat on the couch and at the two who laid flat on their stomachs. Then soon enough Sebastian came through the doors, bringing in the cart of tall glasses and a platter of cookies. Passing the glasses to each and everyone of the boys, Sebastian set the platter down on the coffee table for them to reach with ease.

"About that outing you were talking about earlier."

"Sebastian, no." said Ciel sternly.

"Oh c'mon Ciel, please," begged the boys who were suddenly interested in the conversation.

"No," replied the boy. "No, no, no, no!" His voice rose with every no he said. "You know why we can't Sebastian." The boy said pointing a finger to the black haired man. A smile pulled across Sebastian's face. His smile was the way he would always smile, the smirkish grin, the way Ciel hated.

"Well," started Sebastian. The smile never leaving his face. "We will have to go. Were out of things to eat." Ciel stared at Sebastian for a while. Examining his face for any signs of bluff. Ciel chuckled a sarcastic laugh. "You must be joking." Seeing as the man was serious his smile faded. "You mean you didn't prepare for this?" he asked. Shaking his head Sebastian answered. "Well, I did, but I didn't expect such healthy eaters. Especially Niall." said Sebastian looking to the group of boys. Niall gave a nervous chuckle and smiled an awkward smile. "Sorry about that." he replied. All Sebastian did was smile. Ciel's eyes widen. Ciel pushed Sebastian back slightly and walked out into the hall.

"Uumm, where's he going?" asked Louis letting a few minutes pass to ask.

"To the kitchen." replied Sebastian. As if right on cue Ciel was heard coming closer and closer from the hallway to the room.

"You stupid butler! This isn't any accident, where's the food?!" yelled the boy as he threw open the doors. He quickly walked up to Sebastian and pulled him down by his shirt. "What. Did. You. Do." That was more of a statement than a question. Brushing Ciel's hand away from his shirt he unruffled the wrinkles away.

"Relax Ciel. We could all do some grocery shopping. It'll do all of us some good. It's not healthy for teen what's to be inside all day. And it's not healthy for a growing young boy too." said Sebastian. All Ciel did was sigh. "Fine. But we have to make it quick. I don't anyone acting up."

"Hey, Ciel."

Ciel had been a little mad about what Sebastian had done back at the mansion, but didn't make them go back. They might as well stay out while they were at it. The streets weren't quite empty. Few cars passed by and even fewer people walked the streets. The one direction boys didn't have to disguise themselves that day. No one was out so it was easier to not be spotted. They had placed the groceries in the back of the car. Since they were already out, they might as well have a bit of fun. Along the way they stopped at a few stores and looked around. It might've been sorta empty on the streets, but in stores...Wow. Whispers were passed and the flashes on cellphones flashed. Strangely everyone was calm for once. No commotion was caused over them. They were left to do as they pleased without being mobbed. They found it relieving that they wouldn't have to go back to the mansion early and allowed to be out more.

"This is nice." said the happy go lucky boy, Niall. The blonde walked on the edge of the sidewalk. Balancing to keep himself from slipping off the curve. The sounds of the soles of their shoes hitting the paved floor blended with the noises around them.

"So," said Liam. "Where are we going next?" His mood was happy. He was the sun on a cloudy day. Using his rays of happy sunshine to break through the gloomy surface.

"I think we shod go home now." said Ciel. It's been a long time since he's been out himself. Everything changed. Of course he didn't expect to see the 18th century style in modern time. But the change was amazing. He couldn't even remember what used to be what anymore. Thee only the thing he was certain in was that the path they were taking was leading them somewhere he and Sebastian used to continuously come to. They kept walking down the street till it came almost to an end. Stopping Louis pointed towards a shop next to two other ones. The middle shop was a one story building, a bit larger than the stores beside it, and the sign was a bit off from the right alignment. "Look." said Louis. "Let's go there." Louis started to run towards the store in front, followed the other boys catching up slowly. When they reached the first shop Ciel's eyes wondered towards the lot in between the two buildings.

"A funeral parlor eh." breathed out Ciel.

"You seriously don't wanna go in there, do you?" Asked Liam. "It's really not a place for kids." Walking closer to the boy who blankly stared at Liam with really no interest in what the teenager was saying. "Let's go in that store instead, yes?"

"No thanks." said Ciel. "I'd like to check it out. Besides I'm not a kid who can't handle it." Turning his back he reached for the front door and pull it open, hearing the bell ringing as notice to the employees.
"Come on Sebastian." Without looking back, the door about to closed was opened wider by Sebastian.

"I suggest you join us. It won't be long."

"Ok then. If it isn't going to take long."

Once walking through the front door their eyes quickly began adjusting to the dimmed lights. The place was was covered in a few coffins. To them it seemed as they were to be considered seats in a weird creepy way. It sent chills running down their spins. Dust was felt around the room and webs from spiders were formed at the corners of the place. Ironic Sebastian and Ciel would see another spider different than the last relating to a demon contracted under a complete psycho. The poor light blue eyed blonde just wanted to be loved. In the end his demon turned on him and his soul kept away in his ruby red ring. Then used for the demons purposes. The shelves on the side was filled with books left untouched left to gather dust. The only thing that looked to be kept up to date were the glass beakers. Cleaned and spotless. A few jars that seemed to be filled with...dog biscuits?

"My, my, my," came a voice from behind. Looking around the members of the band saw no nobody in sight besides Sebastian and Ciel. Ciel sat crossed legged on one of the coffins and Sebastian slightly leaning against the other end. They too, looked around the room for the voice. Without realizing it, the boys had huddled closer, causing their backs to meet, giving out a startled noise. Calming themselves they all hushed and listened. The quietness allowed the high pitched C sharp noise to ring through their ears. "You're at times unpredictable, but never did I guess you'd find the old place." Still no one was seen to claim ownership of the extra voice. "Hey, give me a good laughing, ne? Pay the price with a good laughing." Hehe's sounded through the room and by this time the one direction boys were practically shaking. Ciel slid off the coffin and walked around the room looking up at the ceilings dimmed lights. He looked back down at eye level and glanced from Sebastian to the boy band members. The teen gang were stable but being in the parlor made them uncomfortable. They just wanted to run out the doors, go back to the child's mansion, and be wrapped in the warmness and the softness of the blankets. Ciel changed his gaze from them to a coffin leaned on the wall placed in a vertical position. The lid of the coffin slowly cracked open and low chuckles flowed out from the inside. A few strands of silver grey hair slipped out of the box. The strands were long and anyone in their right mind would have the thought to get their hair cut to a reasonable length. Wait, mind.

"Undertaker?"
