The crowded city begins to look heavy and depressing. The cars stops in every second due to the heavy traffic. People shouting because of having some rough treatment on the street. The smoke coming from the car is unhealthy as the parents cover their children's noses. The shop's bell dinged as people comes in and out. It's already noon and Ciel is looking outside, Watching the view down from the office wide cleared window. Ciel doesn't make any sound as he watch them from above, he thought about something if he haven't met Sebastian. Will he be there with the people whose always rioting on the streets? Arguing something unimportant? Blaming people who passed by?

Ciel turns around and look at Sebastian's office. He walks around the desk and look for something interesting. He knows he's doing something to break the wall between two strangers - Him and Sebastian. It's been 3 hours since Sebastian left the room and Ciel tried to acknowledge that Sebastian TRUST him, leaving Ciel unattended inside his office is quite the trust that Ciel knew.

Ciel returns boring when he finally sit. It's late, why isnt Sebastian here? He stands up and walks away form the desk, reaching the knob when Sebastian's secretary opened it in surprise.

"Sir, Phantomhive. I forgot you were there inside... Uhm, there's a meeting happening at the main hall. Please come with me. " The woman bows for apology for and grabbed Ciel's wrist

' Is this it? ' Ciel thought as they enter the elevator. The elevator dinged to it's destination as the woman rushed to the main hall with Ciel

The people gathered as they took a decent line. The woman vanished as Ciel looks around. He managed to get the line between two guys as the chattering inside echoes on the walls.

" The president is here. I heard it from Clause. " A woman with short hair tells to her partner. Ciel wants to ask when someone holds his shoulder.

" There you are. Come here. " Sebastian's secretary holds him at the wrist and led the way. People slower the voice when two guards enter the stage, positioning themselves from left to right. The guards scatter at the side as they positioned themselves for great patrol.

" The president is here. It's rare that he's here, sir Phantomhive. So, the guards are in great patrol when he arrives here. " Sebastian's secretary said as Ciel's looks around. As Ciel heard the secretary's statement, he looks at her.

" Sebastian's not the president? "

" Yes, but, not yet. Since the president is getting older, he will pass his Will to Mr. Michaelis. " She took Ciel's hand and shook it. " I'm Meyrin, by the way. "

Ciel shook it in eager. The people began to get silent as they saw the two sons enter the stage. Claude sits on the left as Sebastian sat on the right chair. The two sons stayed still as they await for the President's arrival. The room stayed quiet and you can never hear anything except from the guards walkie talkies. Ciel understands it, they need to be quiet for the president's rare speech. What kind of person is this President, anyway?

The doors opened beside the four guards as the door swung. The President walks slowly as he knows he's really getting old. Claude stands up as he rushed to The President's side to help him. Sebastian saw it and remained seated, this is Claude's plan, to suck up on his grandfather. Claude and the President reached the stage as the old man bows in thank you. Claude bows for the welcome and left the President's side. He returned to his seat and crossed his legs.

" So, what's this all about, Sebastian? It's rare grandfather is here. " Claude looks at Sebastian. Sebastian remained silent as he watch the crowd, leaving Claude talking to a phantom.

The President touched the mic and it echoes its movement. The President opened his mouth and smiled.

" Greetings... It's been a long time since I stepped my foot in this company. You see, I'm rather getting older and older by week. And I decided to take a look on what's happening or is the company improving... Well, my grandsons did an amazing job... for popularizing the company while I'm away. You did well, my boys. " The President turns around to bow to the two of them. Claude laughs and Sebastian stayed still. The President turned around to continue his speech " Well, you are all wondering about this unexpected meeting. You see, it's been 2 years since Sebastian's fiance died in a... terrible accident. She's a great leader, a great designer, a great woman who loves my grandson, "

Sebastian flinched and looks at his grandfather's back. Why is he bringing this up now? Ciel saw the glimpse of Sebastian's reaction.

" A former idol. The person we looked up to. She will always be remembered. " The President stops his speech and coughs. It remained silent for 2 minutes as The President continued his speech. " She possessed a wonderful job. A job that represents the designs in this company. She drew, she worked, she aimed for the blood. She helps and made this company successful until now, because of her designs that still living within. Some of you wonder, why am I bringing this up? Of course, since she died, nobody took her place. It remained empty, unmoved, left. " The President took a sip of water. " That's why, My grandson, decided to have a competition. Who wins, gets the place."

The workers can't stop their mouths to open as they chatter in, happiness and disapproval. Claude widen his eyes in shock. THIS is a great opportunity for Hannah. He looks at Sebastian as he laughed inside his mind. Victory is close.

Sebastian shook his head. A replacement? A replacement for his fiance's position? No... Sebastian shook his head. He raised his head.

" The winner for the upcoming event wins the position. I guess that calls all. Its fair to people who can share their imaginations to us. To give us what the company needed. There will be mentors for people who will be chosen. There are 5 mentors. Ash, Druitt, Randall, Claude and my grandson Sebastian. The chose people will know the details as soon as the mentors pick their person. May this enchant your week. " The President leaves as the guards guided him to his office. As the door closed and all the guards got all out. The people chattered as the meeting was finished. Ciel stood there with in silence with Meyrin on his side.

" It's everyone's opportunity and dreams. Since that day, when Mr. Michaelis' fiance died, the position remained empty. And, I know you are wondering why we don't call Mr. Michaelis fiance's first name. " Ciel frowned, so that's why he never heard Sebastian's first fiance. Ciel looks at the stage when he found the seats empty. " Because he never wants to hear her name ever again. It'll just burn him. "

Ciel looks at Meyrin " I see, so that's how it ended. That's why I never heard him say his fiance's name...I've got to go. " Ciel rushed to the front door that will lead the way to Sebastian's office.


" I refused to have that replacement. No one deserves that PLACE! " Sebastian closed his door as The President enters his office a while ago. The president sits on Sebastian's chair as he leaned for his relaxation. He looks at Sebastian's angry eyes.

" My grandson, " The President raised his hand. " Someone should occupy the place. If that position doesnt get replaced, what will happen to our company? " Sebastian refused to hold the President's offering hands. He turned around, facing his back to his grandfather.

" I... I still don't get it. Why? " Sebastian questioned while looking at the door. It's rude to ask questions when you're talking at your back, he knows that.

" It's been 2 years, my grandson. 2 years. It's been too long. How could you not forget about her? "

" ITS NOT easy to forget someone you dearly love. YOU, you who took 10 years to forget about grandma. 10 YEARS. SO DONT TELL ME TO EASILY FO-" Sebastian received a slap on his right cheek. He immediately shook his head as he received the harsh treatment.

" Yes, it took me 10 years to forgot her. BUT, this isn't the reason for me to break down myself. She, I know she wants me to live in a normal life. You better act mature as y- " The President saw Sebastian's hurt face.

" It would be easy if I dont love her. But I do. I'm sorry. I have to go, TANAKA. " Sebastian grabbed his briefcase and left, slamming the door in all his might. He saw few guards on the hall way and shook his head in annoyance.

" Mr. Sebastian! " Sebastian stopped his tracks. Was it her? Is she the one calling him? Sebastian turns around, finding Ciel huffing in exhaustion of the first exhausting run of his life. " I, I really want to help you! I'LL DO AN- "

Sebastian moves his hand and covered Ciel's noisy voice. " Pipe down. What the hell? " Sebastian felt his mood changing. " Just get into the car. We'll discuss this inside. "

The two exited and Sebastian calls the bellman. Sebastian looks down as he saw Ciel, looking around every corner. He looked at the other way and smiled. He looks childish. The simple smile disappeared as he saw Hannah on the other post, walking straight into them.

" Sebastian, it's nice you hired a little... thing beside yourself. Why did you hired him? " Hannah asked in confidence as she brushed her long white hair with her fingers. " Anyway, thanks for the ticket, Sebastian. "

" Ticket? What ticket? "

" Ohh, nothing. I'll see you tomorrow at work. Bye Sebastian and to your little friend. " Her shoes tapped as she 'politely' excused herself. The bellman got out of Sebastian's car. Ciel saw the red Ferrari infront of him, shining into his blue eyes. Sebastian rushed to open his car.

" Get in. " Ciel woke into his dreamland, He nodded and opened the door. Ciel attached his seat belt and it clicked. He looks at Sebastian whos glaring at the steering wheel. " Isn't that great. They'll took her place. I just know it. " Sebastian bumped his head onto his steering wheel. He knows that if Hannah got the place. Their victory is getting more unbreakable.

" I don't like what you're thinking. I mean, you hired me because you want me to kick someone's prideful butt, right? " Sebastian looks at Ciel while his head is still on the steering wheel. " I'll win. But - "

" You'll take her place? "

" If- If you don't mind. "

Sebastian returned his position as he closed his eyes. Give Ciel her position? Replacing... her? It's hard to believe if he's going to put someone on HER position. He tighten his eyes as he remembered something.

flashback

" Sebastian, you think this lace will fit for this gown? " The woman swings the dress while holding the dark lace. She walks into Sebastian, who was sitting on his couch. Sebastian put his cup of coffee and held the woman.

" Of course. Because you designed it, it will look perfect no matter what you do. Nobody can surpass your excellence. " Sebastian kissed her forehead as she laughs.

" Don't be silly. " She escaped in Sebastian's grasp as she returned to her working station. She put the lace on her table as she turns around to see Sebastian smiling at her. " What are you looking at? " She smiled.

" Im just... I'm just the luckiest man ever. Because I have you. And, no matter who they are, no one can ever have your position. That's how awesome you are." The woman smiles awkwardly.

" Don't say such silly things. " She rushed to Sebastian as she hugged him so tight that it made Sebastian to hug her tight as well. " And I'm the luckiest woman ever. To find someone like you. And, you know someone will surpass 'MY' excellence. " She joked the last word as she kisses Sebastian. " I love you. "

" I love y- "

" -you! Hey you! Are you awake? " Ciel poked Sebastian. " Some cars are behind us. " Ciel looks behind as he saw some guest wants to park on the side.

" You just... ruined something... " Sebastian looks at Ciel, who was looking at him.

" Something wrong? "

" -Something wrong, Sebastian?- "

Sebastian's eyes widen as he heard her fiance's voice just now. He huffed and grabbed his chest. Why, why does Sebastian felt something pumping to his chest again. He swallowed, he looked at Ciel again and it his heart pumped and beats faster. It hurts, it's painful. He swallowed, he felt his throat like a deserted place. He tries to grab the bottled water on the back of his car. " Wha- what do you want? " Ciel tries to locate something behind as he saw Sebastian tries to grab something. " Y-you want water? " Ciel kneed the driver's seat and he initially grabbed the bottled water. He opened it and gave it to Sebastian.

Sebastian drank almost 3/4 of the bottle as he returned it to Ciel. He breathe as he looks to those eyes. His lips parted as he catches his breath. " ...- you go? "

Ciel inclined his head " What? "

" Where..want...go? "

" Look, you really need to clear on what you are saying because I can't understand you... "

" Where do you want to go? "

Ciel saw Sebastian's lonely face. He saw how his face returned to an outcast person. " A... a place where you can tell me your problems. " Ciel smiled as he saw Sebastian blinks on his response.

" The Ocena ocean shore, is that alright? " Sebastian asked Ciel, mumbling every single words.

" Is it safe? "

" -Is it safe? "

Sebastian heard it again. Her voice. It's becoming unbearable. Sebastian started the engine, he left Ciel's question unanswered.


Claude carefully put his papers inside his briefcase as he shuffle more inside his drawers. Sebastian's grandfather, no, Tanaka wants her position be replaced. It would be a good, no, great opportunity to Hannah's place. His door opened and was locked. Claude raised his head as he saw Hannah approached him. Hannah sits on Claude's lap and hugged him. " I thought you wouldn't be here. " She intensely kissed Claude. Claude continued to kiss Hannah when Hannah breaks the kiss. " I know you know what I came here, right? " Hannah stood up as she sits on Claude's desk.

" Yes, of course. Her position. When I heard it, I just heard the nightingale telling that were getting close. " Claude placed his hand on Hannah's leg. " Where were you when the meeting was held? "

Hannah raised her leg and felt Claude's lips onto her skin. " I was there, behind the little pipsqueak that Sebastian hired ago. " Claude stops his kisses on Hannah's leg when he heard it.

" A new employed? "

" Yeah. It's quite a shock since that Sebastian hasn't hired any since 2 years ago. " Hannah grabbed Claude's necktie and held him close. " But dont fret, I don't fear anyone who can EASILY win in my designs. " Hannah flipped a card next to her bag. " I got everything in order, I hired experts who won the fashion show that happened last month. It's under business but hey, that's our ticket for our victory. "

Claude chuckled as he heard Hannah. Hannah laughs and sits on Claude's lap and kisses the man's neck.

" It's a great plan indeed. "


"...so, You owned this resort? " Ciel asked as he stepped out of Sebastian's car. Earlier, they talked about something about their lives. Ciel first said that he lost contact to his parents ever since he stayed with his uncle Lawrence. His parents abandoned him to his uncle because they cannot take a good care for a child. Sebastian earlier told him to never give up, keep living for his sake as they continued to drive on.

" Actually, We owned this resort. We sometimes go here when she needed to practice. She needs a good air and nice weather when she works. I never stpped here ever since she... died. " Sebastian looks at the sunset and narrowed. Sebastian left the car as he lead Ciel to a cabin. " Come in. " Sebastian let the door locked itself as Ciel entered. " It's dusty inside so don't inhale to much. "

" ...gy."

" What? " Sebastian saw Ciel covering his mouth and nose by using his shirt and hands. Sebastian's eyes widen. " Stay outside for the moment. " Ciel left without any word. Ciel locks the door and inhaled the fresh air outside. He dusted himself as dust contacted to his clothes. He coughs as he dusted himself again, as he knows he was already clean, he looks at the door of the cabin. It's already 2 years.

' It's been two years since we last visited that place. I'm pretty sure it's not that presentable anymore. '

Ciel remembered Sebastian telling him that inside the car a moment ago. He felt unhappy. He must have endured the betrayal and loneliness inside him. His fiance should't have died, Ciel thought. Ciel sat at the near swinging bench. The bench creaked as Ciel started to sway the swing. He looks at the sunset and smiled. The sunset looks beautiful. So enchanting. Ciel closed his eyes. Everything seems peaceful.


Ciel yawned as he tries to wiggle himself to escape to his wonderful sleep. The breeze felt nice as the cold air touches his face. Ciel opened his eyes as he found that he's still on the same spot. He smiled, everything's so calm. He looks down and saw a blanket covering him, he looks at his side and saw another pair of blanket. The swing creaked as Ciel stood up. He opened the door and saw the room, shimmering in beauty. Ciel gape and looks around. Ciel saw Sebastian, outside the window. Ciel didn't think twice as he walks to meet him.

Ciel opened the back door and Sebastian felt it. Sebastian looks at Ciel and widen his eyes. Ciel took a step back. Sebastian still keep on looking at him and it utterly bothered him. " I'm no ghost. "

Sebastian's eyes returned his eyes into normal as he bowed in sorrow. Ciel saw Sebastian, he blinked twice in the miserable atmosphere. Ciel looks at Sebastian as he saw he can't see Sebastian's eyes, only the nose, hair, lips and face. Ciel's eyes narrowed and it widen. He remembered he draw someone not too long ago. Ciel didn't stop as he moved towards Sebastian. He gently touched it and lift it to see Sebastian's face. It's clear, the man he drew before WAS Sebastian.

Sebastian didn't flinched as Ciel touched him. There's something at the moment. Sebastian, who lost someone and as for Ciel, who found someone that he never knew he drew on his sketch pad. Something beats on Ciel's heart as he continued to gaze on Sebastian. Sebastian looks at Ciel in no question. The two remained silent.

Ciel stared at Sebastian and let's go, causing Sebastian's head to bow again into it's original place. Ciel holds his chest and goes inside the cabin. He sits down on the wooden chair and kept holding his chest. Is that what really beholds his drawing? His heart beats faster in every second. His heart. Beats faster. In every second.

The back door creaked and Ciel snapped to his thoughts. " I'm sorry, I didn't mean to frighten you. Are you okay? "

" ...Yeah. " Ciel knew he cannot make an eye contact to Sebastian. His heart starts to beat faster. Beating. Rapidly.

" It's already 11 pm, I think it's not safe to travel since I'm getting sleepy. I'll take you to our bedroom upstairs or do you want something to drink? We didn't take any food at all. " Ciel prefer to drink first than to sleep again. He stood up and stops to his tracks. Our bedroom? ...Our bedroom? " Something wrong, Ciel? "

Ciel can't help it. His heart, he thinks it's about to start. He needs to calm down. " A drink will do first. " Sebastian nodded as he heard Ciel.


It didn't took long as they headed to sleep. Ciel was staring at the whole time at the ceiling. He's just beside Sebastian. Just beside him.

Flashback

" I don't sleep on chairs... Mind if I share the bed with you? "

Ciel can' help it. It's driving him crazy. He kept on looking at the ceiling and it later on his head will turn to look Sebastian. Nervous. Getting weak. Hopeless. He suddenly remembered, the drawing that he got unfinished. The man behind it was Sebastian. The exact figure, the exact sample. There, his hear beat getting alive again. It beats, and beats.

Ciel sighed, He can't wait to talk to Alois, He wants to find out whats behind this.
