Chapter One
Ciel woke in a daze, cool air blew onto his back and he stretched, looking around for Alois. He groaned when he felt the familiar ache in his muscles near his abdomen. Working at the club sure took it out of him.
"You're awake! C'mon sleepy head! It's 5:30! We need to be at the club by six!" Alois's shrill voice sliced through Ciel's ears like a knife and he groaned once more, praying it wouldn't trigger his headache.
"Why are you so excited? The whole job is disgusting. It's just the only way I can earn money as a 16-year-old who hasn't even completed the sixth grade," Ciel said quietly, glaring up at the blonde who was rushing to put on his black combat boots. Ciel remembered the day Alois bought those stupid boots. Ciel had spent his whole paycheck on a nice dinner for the two of them. The blonde had stolen tips left for a waitress off a table of a large party when they left and hid them in his crotch. Ciel had never stolen, but he knew Alois was used to doing it. Alois, indeed, had grown up worse than Ciel. The blonde had dragged Ciel into every store on the street near the shelter twice before he decided to spend the $50 he had stolen on black, bulky, combat boots. He loved those boots so much that he made Ciel promise to buy him some purple laces for the upcoming Christmas.
"At least you went to school! Luka and I would go into the library and one of the librarians taught us to read. We always lied to her and told her that we were struggling in school and that our parents were busy working and couldn't tutor us or afford a tutor. I wonder how she's doing now that Luka and I don't go anymore," Alois said, smiling at the thought of remembering his brother. Alois's little brother, Luka died out of starvation and the cold. They both lived in a small town out of the city and after Luka died Alois wandered into the city. He started working a corner with some girls as a prostitute and met Ciel when he was going to work. Ciel had convinced Alois not to do prostitution because he could get arrested. He instead brought Alois to the shelter and they lived there together ever since.
"Who cares? We have bigger problems because the shelter is closing... We only have a fucking week before we need to find somewhere else to stay. There's another shelter somewhere near the club, but it only lets in a certain amount of people every night and they all come extremely early. I don't get off work until 3:30AM. We're fucked." Ciel groaned.
"Hey, we can always go into my first business and have somewhere to sleep every night. We'll make a shit ton of money and if we're lucky we'll both be rented for the night," Alois suggested. Ciel narrowed his eyes and sat up.
"I'm not going to go into prostitution. I don't want to be in jail nor obtain STD's, much less have sex with you," the bluenette said with a shiver. Alois clicked his tongue.
"What a prude!" he yelled with a laugh. Ciel rolled his eyes, and stood up. The blonde tossed him a hoodie and Ciel slid it on. He put on his balck Converse and tied them as Alois fixed Ciel's messy hair. The two then left the shelter, thanking the workers as they did every day, and walked into the cold outside air.
They made their was down the streets until they got to The Exotica. Ciel lazily slung open the door and walked through the club. Alois's cyrulean blue eyes wandered around from the bar, to the tables, to the stage with several poles. Ciel walked into the back room, having to pull Alois along because he was going so slow. He was thankful that as of yet th club was still closed and he at thirty minutes to get Alois prepared.
"Hey Ciel!~" one of the strippers said, greeting him with a wave.
"Hello, Rose. You wouldn't happen to know where Boss is?" Ciel asked, gesturing to Alois who was staring at all of the women. He slowly began to realize that besides him, Ciel was the only male there. Rose the stripper pointed at a man in the corner talking to one of the girls.
"He's over there, honey. Good luck to your friend!" she said, she smiled and walked away to continue getting ready. Ciel pulled Alois over to his boss. He really didn't know his bosses name due to the fact that the man went by "Boss".
"Early for your shift, Ciel? Ah, I see you brought your friend. We open in twenty minutes, get ready." The man walked straight past them and said nothing.
"He's an asshole. C'mon. You can change into this..." Ciel said, holding up a skimpy leather outfit, "Wear your god damn combat boots with it."
"Where are the changing rooms..?" Alois whispered, taking the leather sex suit form Ciel.
"You're a stripper now, Alois. No changing rooms," Ciel said with a smirk as he slid Alois's hoodie off and straightened his outfit. Alois changed swiftly, it was probably the fastest he had ever moved. Ciel laughed and sat in a chair.
"Say I am a customer who wants a lapdance. I payed for one and Boss sends you to me. Now show me how you're going to give me a lapdance." Ciel said, yawning.
"What the hell! I thought I was going to be on the pole!" Alois complained.
"Well this is not a gay bar. Most of the guys who come in here are straight. Sometimes we get gay groups who come in and that's when I get my time on the pole. Aside from that, it's just lapdances," Ciel explained.
"Why don't you work in a fuckin' gay bar?" Alois yelped.
"Straight bars always need a few guys in case girls come in or gay guys," Ciel said. He was about to yell at Alois to give him the lapdance, but Boss interupted and called them all over to him.
"Tonight is a special night. Tonight the club is promoting that special clientel can pay for a special service. I hope you all are okay with having sex with them. If not, you're out of a job." the man said. Some of the girls looked excited. Others looked bored. Ciel turned to Alois and stared.
"Looks like we're in my line of business now..." Alois whispered, nudging Ciel and smiling nervously.

Ciel paced the last few minutes before the club opened. Alois sat and watched him. The bluenette's mind was racing with horribl scenarios and fear. It's not like Ciel could survive without this job! He had to keep working.
"Maybe no one will ask for you? If they ask for a boy, I'll do it. You most likely won't have to do anything tonight," Alois coaxed.
"Alois... I am so fucking mad right now." Ciel whispered angrily, "I want to quit. I can't even quit." He walked out of the back room and saw all of the people out in the audiences with depraved lustful looks. Alois nervously crept up behind Ciel.
"I didn't realize there would be so many..." the blonde breathed. Ciel snorted and began walking around the various tables. Alois followed behind Ciel closely. One man started hitting on Ciel. He was used to it, and flirted back. Alois got a wad of one dollar bills shoved down the tight leather womens panties he was wearing. Ciel pushed his friend towards the man and Alois began to give him a lapdance. Alois was good, without a doubt, getting a few more bills stuffed between his ass. He giggled and Ciel rolled his eyes. The Boss called Ciel over suddenly, and the male made his way over.
"That man at table four payed for a lapdance from you by name. Go," the man said bossily. Ciel shivered, seeing as the man looked to be in his mid-forties and quite perverted. Yet again, this was a strip club. Who wasn't perverted?
"You look great tonight.." the man said as Ciel started to dance sexually around him. He about jumped when the man grabbed his ass.
"Don't touch me!" He yelled, his eyes narrowed.
"No, no, Ciel. I paid your boss for an, uh, arrangement. Come with me," he said. Shit! shit shit! I can't do this! I can't have sex with him! Fuck! Ciel thought fearfully. The man grabbed his wrist and pulled him out of the club.
"Nervous?" his voice rasped as he ran a hand down Ciel's side. He jerked away and stiffened, still following the pervert to his vehicle.
"I've never done this kind of work before," Ciel said quietly, trying his best to be seductive. He knew this man would report ack to his boss and if he was not impressed then Ciel would really be out of a job.
"I'll go easy on ya," he replied, opening the passanger door to a large truck for Ciel to get in. He nervously hopped on the seat and buckled himself in. The man had obviousl been drinking and Ciel didn't want to end up dead. He sat in silence as they drove to the man's apartment. That was mainly because the man's hand was grasping his thigh and stroking his skin. Ciel held his breath and tried his best to hide his fear. When the man parked, he smirked at Ciel.
"You didn't really pay for this, did you..." the boy asked, nervously.
"Darlin', I can see it in your eyes that you want this. Money really doesn't matter, does it?" he replied, stroking Ciel's thigh a bit rougher.
I'm going to die.
