Yo~! Here's chapter 2 of my first fanfiction~! Sorry if it's a bit short... I actually intended to combine this chapter and chapter 1 together, but I didn't :3 I hope you enjoy it! Reviews would be greatly appreciated since I am still learning and love constructive criticism!:)
~Warning~ There's a bit of fluff, more shonen-ai than full-blown yaoi. As much as I love.. uh, you know XD I don't think I would be able to handle writing it. But this is cute enough, I suppose :p
In the midst of his thoughts, Ciel realized he had left his butler hanging. "Um… I.. don't know how to respond." Ciel hesitantly answered. Sebastian's face dropped, all the heartfelt emotion that was there before suddenly vanished. Ciel registered this as hurt, and panicked. "But I agree!" He quickly redeemed himself. In a slightly quieter voice, he added, "I feel the same way." Sebastian smirked, then slowly gently, placed his lips on the boy's. Sebastian hugged him close, moving his hands to the small of Ciel's petite back. Ciel slid his thin arms unconfidently around Sebastian's neck, standing on his tip-toes.
"What if I'm not doing this right?" Ciel worried. "I've never actually… kissed someone like this before." Before he could stop it, his foot popped. "Damn!" He scolded himself in his thoughts.
"How cute," Sebastian thought. Suddenly, Ciel broke the kiss. "Now that should have been our first kiss," Sebastian whispered to a blushing Ciel.
"CIEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLL!" the "very important guest" shrieked. Ciel cringed in preparation for Lizzie's powerful embrace. Sebastian watched from across the room as Ciel struggled to pry Elizabeth from him, and chuckled. He exited into the kitchen, retrieved the evening tea, and returned back into the foyer.
"Young master, your tea is ready, and dinner is being prepared as we speak. Should we like to set you two up in the dining room?" Ciel responded with a sharp nod of the head. Sebastian smiled and led the young pair into the next room. Sebastian slid the chair out from under the table and gestured for Lizzie to sit. She grinned up at him.
"Thank you, Sebastian!" she beamed in her unbearably squeaky voice. Sebastian bowed in response, and then went to seat his Young Master. Just as Ciel was about to sit, Sebastian "accidentally" pulled the chair out from underneath him. Ciel glared up at his butler, the way a damp cat would glare at its owner. Sebastian just grinned out from him, barely containing his laughter, and offered his hand.
"Damn you," Ciel mumbled, taking the demon's gloved hand. Ciel was pulled from the ground and gently set in his chair.
"Pardon me, it seems the dinner is ready. I shall return shortly." When Sebastian was gone, Lizzie started in.
"Well it seems like Sebastian's in a good mood today" she grinned. "It's good to see him like this. It's so out of character for him since he's always kind of gloomy, don't you think?" Ciel just grimaced.
"Maybe he encountered a cat or two earlier. He's absolutely wild about those fleabags," he spat.
"Actually, if you keep a feline properly groomed, there's a good chance it will in fact not get fleas." Sebastian debated, entering the room with a sly smile playing about his lips. The butler set a large, covered tray in front of the couple. "Tonight's dinner is a supple roasted pig, complimented by—"
"MISTER SEBASTIAN!" Came a wild howl, followed by a deafening crash. Sebastian put his hand to his face in irritation as he heard the ditzy maid screech in panic.
"I do apologize, I'm afraid I have to leave for a moment," Sebastian deadpanned. "Do enjoy." Ciel couldn't help but smirk at the amusing sight of his butler's annoyance.
"So Lizzy," Ciel chirped, munching on a bit of roasted pig. "What brings you here, exactly?"
"Well actually," Lizzie replied shyly. "I wanted to…" Lizzie suddenly leaned across the table and kissed Ciel right on the lips. Ciel's eyes widened in horror as he saw Sebastian re-enter the room.
"NO!" He screamed in his mind. "Lizzie! What the hell are you doing?"
Lizzie pulled back, tears brimming in her eyes, threatening to trickle down her face and stain her beautifully tailored dress. "I'm sorry Ciel," she whimpered. "I just thought, well…" She stood up swiftly and fled the room sobbing.
"Young Master… is everything alright?"
"Sebastian… I didn't want to kiss her… she kissed me." He stood up, head hanging. "But now I've hurt her."
Sebastian walked calmly toward him. "Young Master, she is your fiancé—"
"THAT DOESN'T MATTER!" Ciel interrupted. "The only one I love and have always loved and will ever love is YOU!" Ciel stopped, face reddening with realization of what he just revealed. He tried quickly to cover himself up. "That is, as much as I can with love being a trivial thing and all…"
"Is that so?" Sebastian purred, cupping Ciel's tender face in his hands. He grinned at Ciel, then suddenly swept him off of the ground and into his arms.
"What the hell?" An embarrassed Ciel squirmed, desperately trying to escape his butler's arms. Sebastian only chuckled and kissed his forehead.
"You only make yourself cuter when you try to escape, you know," He winked. "Now let's go make up with Lady Elizabeth."
Lizzie was in the foyer, sobbing. "I don't know what came over me… I should have asked him first… I didn't think he's get so angry…we are ENGAGED after all!"
"Lizzie, are you in here?" Ciel entered the room, while Sebastian observed the situation from the doorway.
"Ciel, I-I'm so sorry!" Lizzie erupted into yet another series of ever-dramatic wails and sobs.
"Lizzie darling, calm down!" Ciel hushed, and laid a gentle hand on her shoulder. "I'm not angry, I was just surprised, that's all. But I really don't think I'm ready for that kind of relationship with you yet. We're still young. There's no need to rush." And with that, he planted a soft kiss on her cheek, moist with tears.
"I'm sorry, Ciel. Do you think we could forget about this?" she replied, hugging him close.
"Absolutely. But really, there's no need to be ashamed, it was a very decent kiss," he stated slyly, sending a secretive wink Sebastian's way over Lizzie's shoulder.
Later that night, when Lizzie had gone home and it was just about time for the Young Earl to retire for the evening, Sebastian entered Ciel's study. "Bocchan, it's time for—."Ciel was crumpling a piece of paper and quickly hid it behind his back. Sebastian raised an eyebrow, clearly amused. "Oh, Ciel!" he sang. "What are you hiding from me?"
"Nothing. It's none of your lousy business, demon. I'm tired. Get me ready for bed." Sebastian walked across the room to Ciel's chair and bent down so he was level with the boy.
"As you wish, My Lord." The butler scooped Ciel and carried him down the corridor bridal-style, entered the Master's bedroom, tossed him onto the bed, and climbed on top of him in one swift movement.
"Sebastian, that is not the proper way to treat your Young Master, tossing him about like that," Ciel tried to scold sternly, but ended up giggling.
"I don't think I've ever heard you laugh like that before, Young Lord."
"At times like this, you can call me Ciel," the boy chuckled softly before pulling his butler down by the tie into a warm kiss. Ciel wrapped his arms around the older man's neck. Sebastian ran his hands down the smaller boy's petite frame. Ciel rolled over on top of Sebastian and brushed his raven hair from his face with a gentle stroke. He stared into the crimson that made his heart waver with every blink. He didn't know where he would be if this pair of ruby eyes hadn't spotted his withering soul. He marveled in Sebastian's eyes a bit longer as Sebastian silently marveled in his.
"This blue… I want to drown in it. This is the color of sorrow, with a touch of hatred, melancholy blended in evenly complete with an aura of pride and determination. There's a gleam of fearlessness in these eyes. I hunger for this blue. And one day this craving will be satisfied, and that blue will be lost forever. Is losing this blue really worth a meal?"
Sebastian's thoughts were interrupted by the sensation of Ciel's tongue prying into his mouth. Sebastian hugged him close, breathing in his scent. The two continued their affair for a bit longer until Ciel sighed, satisfied, and rolled off of Sebastian. The two lie next two each other on Ciel's massive bed, staring at the ceiling. "Let's get your night clothes on, Young Master."
Ciel stood up and held out his arms. Sebastian kneeled in front of him. First he undid his ribbon; skillfully tied into a bow from around his neck, which his neatly folded and placed on the bed. Next the butler removed his outer shirt, nimbly undoing the buttons with such speed and dexterity. That was also neatly folded and placed on the bed, along with Ciel's undershirt. Ciel tensed up when Sebastian unzipped his pants. "He's done it over 100 times, but now it just feels… different. Weird different." Ciel thought to himself. Suddenly, Ciel was standing in nothing but his underwear. Sebastian grabbed the neatly folded pile of clothing and went to the wardrobe to fetch the Young Earl's nightclothes.
"Arms up," Sebastian instructed as he slipped the gown over the boy's little blue head. Ciel slipped his eye patch from his face and plopped it on the night table next to his bed. Sebastian tucked the boy safely into his bed, and then whispered into his ear, "By the way, your schedule is clear for tomorrow… if you wanted, we could… do something."
Ciel sleepily nodded his head. "Absolutely. That would be delightful." Sebastian planted one final kiss on the young boy's lips just as he drifted off to sleep. He blew out the candle that had been dimly illuminating the room, and silently exited.
In the corridor, the butler looked both ways to make sure nobody was lingering, and then plucked a crumpled paper from his pocket. Sebastian smiled upon opening and observing it. "Oh, Young Master," he sighed happily. He slipped the paper back into his pocket, then strode down the hall to his room.
Sebastian lie awake in bed, staring at the crumpled paper he held carefully in his hands. "I never know the Young Master had such a talent for drawing," he thought aloud. On the abused paper, a sketch resided. A young boy sat in a field holding hands with a man whose hair was blacker than the night. Sebastian smirked. "I think I know where I'll take him tomorrow."
Yeah, so that's that :p Sorry it took a bit of time to update, I've been excruciatingly busy with school. But it's spring break at the moment :D I hope to get at least one more chapter squeezed in this week before I head back to the good ol' daily grind:/ If you would, lemme know what you think about this chappie, it would be greatly appreciated~:D
