Mani: Ciel is totally OOC.
This story is so bipolar…
Ciel's eyes began to fill with tears of joy as he gazed up at the familiar face. Just looking at Sebastian filled him with the warmness and comfort he longed for.
"C-Ciel, are you alright…what happened to your arms?" Sebastian began gazing at the tear struck boy. When Ciel failed to respond Sebastian spoke again. "Wait here" Sebastian ordered heading off into the school, to find Grell.
"Hmm? So only Joker managed to go all the way?" The red haired male who resembled a shark asked Drocell. Joker, Grell, and Drocell were all sitting on a bench that was placed on the edge of the hall. Sebastian stopped, he was about to round the corner to the part of the hallway the three males were speaking in.
"I asked him a completely innocent question and he pushed me away, and now that Sebastian's back I'm done, I'm not going to die for something as stupid as this" Drocell responded. Grell rolled his cat like eyes.
"But once my Sebas hears about what a whore his little Ciel has been he'll come running back to me~" Grell responded hugging himself dreamily, imagining Sebastian in his arms.
"…You were never together…" Drocell pointed out.
"SHUT UP!" Grell snapped. "Anyways, how did Ciel react once the two of you had finished?" Grell asked Joker. Joker let out a sigh his cheeks flushed.
"He told me to leave…and once I left I hear him yell from the house…"
"What did he yell?" Grell mused smiling in amusement.
"Something about it sucking…" Joker replied looking away in embarrassment. Grell snickered.
"Regardless of weather it was good or not Ciel still had sex with you!" Grell yelled in triumph. Sebastian was becoming angry as he continued to listen to the conversation between the three cousins. "And what exactly did you do with him Drocell?" Grell continued the interview Sebastian crossing his arms over his chest.
"Well I went inside him before, when I lead him out into the forest. On Saturday I showed up at his house, he gave me a hand job, I blew him that's pretty much it" Drocell shrugged. Grell pouted.
"I guys these stories alone with have to do" Grell said. "Give me your tape recorders" Grell ordered. The two younger males each dropped a tape recorder in either of Grell's skinny hands. "When I show Sebas this evidence he'll have to believe me, I mean it's the whole think recorded after all" Grell snickers as he dropped the two tapes into his bag and returned the recorders to his cousins. Sebastian's heart sunk as he turned to go and find Ciel. He had heard way more than he wanted to.
"Ciel…" Sebastian started as he walked over to the petite male who had been waiting for him by the gate. "You had sex with Joker?" He asked hoping it had been a lie. Ciel gasped.
"W-who told you that," He responded.
"I over heard it, you also fooled around with Drocell didn't you" When Ciel failed to reply Sebastian repeated himself "didn't you!" Ciel's eyes were over flowing with tears as he nodded, he felt horrible as if he were going to throw up.
"S-Sebastian…" Ceil began, he wasn't even sure what he was going to say. Sebastian shook his head and grabbed the younger male's hand and led him off campus.
"Why…?" Sebastian questioned still avoiding Ciel's eyes.
"I was lonely…" Ciel replied wiping the tears from his face with his bandaged arms.
"Take off the bandages…" Sebastian ordered. Ciel gulped nervously as he began to remove the bandages. Sebastian's eyes began to flood with hurt as he gazed at the raw cuts that were all over each of the sapphire boy's inner forearms. Sebastian rested one of the arms in his right palm and gently ran his right fingers over them.
"C-Ciel…" Sebastian started, he felt horrible for not making more of an effort to say goodbye. The last time he had seen the petite male in person he was sleeping on the couch. Sebastian pulled Ciel into a tight embrace. "Never do it again…" Sebastian ordered in a whisper. Ciel let out a whimper taking in Sebastian's comforting sent. "I never meant to make you feel alone..." Sebastian added tightening the hug. Ciel nodded.
"…I'm sorry…for sleeping with someone else…" Ciel murmured. Sebastian pulled back and looked Ciel in the eyes. Ciel searched the older male's ruby eyes for forgiveness. When Sebastian smiled back Ciel leaned slightly forward. The older male rapped his arms around Ciel's waist and pulled him into a deep kiss, that only lasted a few moments.
"It's okay…" he replied standing up straight and taking the smaller male's hand. "Lets go to a restaurant, I still want to talk to you" Sebastian said as he began to lead the dazed boy down the side walk.
As the two males strolled down the side walk Ciel could hear someone walking behind them, he turned around thinking for a moment he saw blonde hair, but then turning back around and brushing it off as nothing.
"So…how's your stalker?" Sebastian asked looking over at the sapphire male. Ciel let out a sigh.
"…Which one?" He mused.
"Elizabeth" Sebastian continued.
"…She's fucking annoying…I wish she'd leave me alone" Ciel replied quite loudly. Sebastian nodded. The two heard someone running down the sidewalk behind them. "Hm?" Ciel hummed looking behind them, when he saw nothing he shrugged and turned back around.
"So…you're gay?" Sebastian mused placing the index finger of his free hand on his lower lip in curiosity.
"I'M NOT GAY!" Ciel snapped ripping their hands apart and crossing his arms over his torso, a pout on his lips. Sebastian laughed.
"So mean~" He whined. Ciel continued to look the other way as a smile stretched across his lips, he really had missed Sebastian.
That night Ciel slept well, easily drifting off into a comfortable sleep. He hadn't slept well at all for over a week.
Elizabeth Middleford's Perspective:
More than any person I loath myself, my constant incapability to make a good first impression, my inability to control myself around Ciel, and most of all my inability to give up on my pointless feelings for him. The more I think about him the more my heart aches, and the more my body shakes. The tears of jealousy overflowing my eyes, I don't want to hurt anymore so tonight…I take my own life.
"Goodbye…Ciel…" I whispered as I placed the noosed rope around my neck, my feet rested shakily on the chair bellow me as I prepared to kick it from beneath me. "I always loved you…" I whispered once more kicking the back of the chair and knocking it over, the noose began to tug at my throat slowly strangling me to my death. "M-!" I attempted to call for my mother pulling at the rope that had been yanking at my neck I changed my mind I didn't want to die. My body went limp as I drifted off into unconsciousness, my fingers still pressed between the rope and my neck.
3rd Person:
Ciel let out the finale of his series of yawns as he approached the front door, someone on the other side had knocked.
"Ready?" Sebastian questioned once the sapphire male had opened the door, Ciel looked at the dark haired male his eyes still drenched in sleep.
"Mhm…" Ciel nodded letting out another exaggerated stretch afterwards adjusting his uniform briefly before exiting the creaky home.
"How'd you sleep?" Sebastian continued as Ciel closed the door behind him, as usual not bothering to lock it, it was easy to assume nobody would rob such an unappealing home.
"Great…I'm still tired though" the sapphire male responded his posture in a slouch as he and Sebastian stepped down the rickety wooden stairs. Sebastian smiled.
"I'm glad" He informed Ciel reaching for the younger male's delicate hand and lacing their fingers together.
"I'm…not gay…" Ciel mumbled too tired to pull his hand away, his cheeks becoming flushed from the warm sensation of their intertwined fingers. "It's cold" Ciel mumbled rubbing beneath his nose with the sleeve of his dark blue uniformed sweater. Sebastian nodded; if the older male had a sweater of his own he would have surly given it to the younger male.
"We can stop and buy something hot to drink" as the dark haired male spoke his breath was easily visible in the cold are.
"…Coffee?" The petite male question leaning into the older males arm for warmth
"If that's what you want" Sebastian responded releasing the sapphire male's fingers and rapping his long arm around the shivering boy instead. Ciel let out a satisfied sigh as his torso was filled with heat. Sebastian swallow hard as he fought the temptation to grope Ciel in everyway possible, the sigh of satisfaction was eating away at self control.
"How much sugar would you like?" The cashier questioned once she had poured a good amount of crème into his coffee.
"A few table spoons" The sapphire male responded. His cheeks still a shade of red from the cold. The coffee shop was a good 72 degrees filled with the aroma of coffee beans.
"You mean Teaspoons…?" The confused female responded sure the male had either mixed up his words or she had heard wrong.
"No…I mean…table-spoons" Ciel responded rudely saying the last word as though it were two slowly. Once the cashier returned her attention to the coffee scooping three tablespoons of sugar into the cup she rolled her eyes in exaggeration before clicking the lid on top and placing it on the counter for Ciel.
"That will be 8.23$" She said looking up at Sebastian for the first time, a deep blush appearing on her cheeks as she stared at his manly features and then into his deep red eyes. Sebastian only returned her eye contact for a few moments before pulling out his wallet and handing her a ten dollar bill. "Thank you…" She said dizzily as she handed Sebastian his change. "Have a nice day!" She called as the two males headed for the door. Sebastian didn't turn back, he'd much rather make her feel like a moron than give her the satisfaction of a response.
"Bitch…" Ciel muttered as they exited the coffee shop and turned left, their dress shoes clicking on the cold pavement.
"It sucks how strict they've become with dress code…" Sebastian said ignoring Ciel's comment and taking a drink of his plain black coffee. Ciel sighed, a cloud of breath appearing before him.
"I hate the cold…" He complained also taking a long drink of his coffee.
"I think this is the coldest day so far this year…" Sebastian responded, he couldn't help but catch an awkward vibe. Ciel made no verbal response he merely nodded and continued to focus his attention on his drink.
As the two males entered the warmth of the main school building they became overwhelmed with a sense of sadness in the atmosphere.
"Uhm…" Ciel hummed in confusion as he scanned the crowded hallway, catching sight of a few sobbing females seated on one of the many benches. There wasn't a soul with a smile, there wasn't even a dash of humor in anyone's expression. Ciel swallowed hard as he took a few steps forwards Sebastian staying close by.
"Please report to your first period classes" Mr. William ordered the students over the intercom. Sebastian remained by Ciel's side as the sapphire male made his way to his first class.
"See you at lunch…" Sebastian said as the two arrived at Ciel's classroom, the ruby eyed male embraced Ciel tightly for a few moments before releasing him and departing. The sapphire male blinked a few times beginning to feel a sense of loneliness; the boy turned around and entered the class, surprised to see that Lizzy wasn't there he sat down in his assigned seat.
"I'm sure many of you have already heard rumors…" The guidance councilor started looking into each of the students in the classrooms eyes before continuing. "Your classmate Elizabeth Middleford's life ended late last night…" Ciel gasped loudly his eyes going wide from shock. The councilor swallowed hard before continuing. "I'm sorry for your loss…" she said before heading for the door and moving on to the next unlucky set of students.
"H-how?" one of the freshman cried to the teacher. The teacher shook her head not responding to the question.
By lunch time many of the students had gone home, unable to partake in school activities due to their feelings of grief.
"I heard she hung herself…" one of the sophomore student said to his friend in the lunch line, Ciel was seated at a near by table with Sebastian.
"It's my fault…" Ciel whispered continuing to look down at the table.
"No! It's not Ciel…it was her decision, it had nothing to do with you." Sebastian replied lifting Ciel's chin and making eye contact.
"Y-yes it did…she liked me…and I was so mean…" Ciel responded between whimpers his eyes pouring with tears.
"...you didn't know…she was suicidal…" Sebastian responded.
"I'm still at fault!" Ciel snapped slapping Sebastian's hand from beneath his chin as he rose from his chair and stormed out of the lunchroom, his shoes clicking loudly into the sad silence. The ruby eyed male let out a deep sigh.
"…" The senior rose from his chair and followed Ciel silently out of the cafeteria.
"Go away!" Ciel snapped, the two males were now standing in the main hall alone, Ciel turned around to face Sebastian letting out quiet gasp when he realized the older male was standing right behind him.
"Ciel…" Sebastian stared placing his hands on the sapphire boy's shoulder looking him in his teary eyes for a few moments before pulling him into his arms. "Don't cry…" The ruby eyes senior ordered tightening the embrace.
