Author's Note

Howdy! I would have posted a new chapter yesterday, except I was out until very late! Shutter Island is awesome, you guys should all go see it!
Mm, have you noticed I like naming the chapters stupid things? It's so much fun.
Song of the chapter is Overdrive by IOSYS.
I really wanna download Touhou, but then I'll never do homework… Or update my stories. Aha…
Anyway.

One thing Ciel had never expected to happen to him in his life was to be blackmailed into staying in the house of a pervert. Unfortunately, this was his current situation, and he hated it. However… For better or worse, fate had decided to add a light at the end of his current tunnel.

'Ciel, I'm going to Grell's,' Sebastian told the younger from the other side of his locked bedroom door. The blue-eyed man had been keeping him at an arms length ever since he'd been drunk. Ciel didn't reply to his captor, who stood for a little longer outside of the door, 'why don't you come with me?'

'Go with you? So you can attempt to kiss me again, you pervert?!' the man snapped, and thumped the door in the hopes it would make Sebastian leave him alone.

'What? We'll be in public; I'm not going to "attempt" anything.'

'But you would if we weren't!?' Sebastian sighed at the response. Honestly, Ciel could be so frustrating when he wanted to.

'No, you brat, now get dressed. You're coming with me. I'll pay for you, so don't worry about it, now hurry up.'

Being dragged to Grellybean's Café by Sebastian was most definitely not how Ciel had intended his day to start, but he figured that as long as there were people around, he would be safe from his captor. Sadly, this didn't account for anyone else.

'What is this, Sebas!?' Grell all but sobbed when he saw the man walk in with Ciel.

'This is a friend, Grell,' he replied, not in the mood for the flamboyant man's antics.

'Oh?' the redhead's mood instantly perked up, 'so it's not a date?'

'It most certainly is not!' Ciel snapped, grumpily sitting down in a booth opposite Sebastian, who smirked a little.

'So, the usual, Sebastian?' Grell asked with a bright smile, and the man nodded.
'Two, today.' The redhead nodded and happily dashed back to the counter.

'What's "the usual"?' Ciel asked, hoping it was something sweet.

'Tea with the day's special,' the raven-haired man replied, looking out the window. It looked like a nice day, but there were storm clouds on the horizon, and his eyes narrowed a little. Ciel, on the other hand, was looking around the café. It seemed to be a lot busier than he remembered.

'Ciel!' one of the waitresses said in surprise, and it took a moment for the young man to realise it was his aunt.

'Ah, Aunt Ann,' he smiled, getting up to hug the woman.

'How long has it been? Two years?' she beamed at her nephew, giving him a small kiss on the cheek, 'and I see you've met Sebastian.'

'Mm,' he nodded, his expression darkening a little at the mention of the other man, who either was lost in thought looking out the window, or was ignoring the pair.

'Well, I'd better get back to work… But it was nice to see my cute little nephew again!' the woman smiled, waving a little as she was called over to a table by a customer with platinum blond hair. Ciel smiled back, sitting down as the food was served.

'Oh! Mister Sebastian, I'm almost never here when you are!' the boisterous, blond waiter smiled.

'Finny,' Sebastian greeted the man with a small smile, 'I see the only red you wear is still those bobby pins.'

'Of course! Red doesn't look good on me,' Finny laughed before bouncing away to serve other customers. Ciel looked questioningly at Sebastian, 'you seem to know everyone here.'

'Of course I do; I've been coming here ever since it opened at the same time every day,' the black-haired man replied matter-of-factly, 'mm, apricot and green tea mille-feuille* today.' Ciel looked doubtfully at the desert before eating a small bit, and was delighted to find that it was actually quite tasty.

After the pair had finished their desert and tea, which had remained uneventful, Sebastian had told Ciel to wait outside for him where it would be less crowded, and a little cooler, as the younger had complained of becoming too hot. He checked back in the café and his eyes narrowed; the line to pay was quite long, and Sebastian was in the middle of the line with a grumpy look on his face.

'My my, what a cute little robin,' a man smiled down at Ciel, 'so you're the one who was keeping my waitress?'

'I'm allowed to catch up with my aunt,' Ciel snapped back, arms crossed as he glared back up at the man.

'Of course,' he smiled, 'Aleister Chamber.' The shorter didn't reply, instead backing away from the man a little.

'What's wrong, my little robin? There's no need to be scared of me,' Aleister smiled, closing in on Ciel when he was stopped by a hand on his shoulder.

'Maybe he's more scared of the "cat" behind you,' Sebastian growled, his eyes narrowing at the blond who had spun 'round to see who was touching him. The look on Aleister's face said it all, and walked away from the pair as quickly as he could while still keeping his composure.

'Honestly, that man…' Sebastian sighed, looking after him, 'you're lucky Grell waved my bill.'

'Thanks,' Ciel mumbled, not wanting to admit that he truly was grateful to Sebastian, 'can we leave now?'

'Of course, "my little robin",' the black-haired man chuckled at the face Ciel made.

Once home, the blue-eyed man's stiffness returned, and he instantly went to his room. Sebastian, however, had anticipated this, and had made sure to lock the bedroom from the outside so the younger couldn't open it.

'Sebastian! Open this door!' Ciel snapped at the older.

'You don't have to be so rude, you brat,' the other replied, a small smirk on his face, 'but I'll unlock it for you all the same.' Sebastian pushed the younger up against the door, purposefully taking his time to unlock it. He opened the door, which Ciel had pressed himself against, and the younger fell backwards into the bedroom.

'Would you like a hand up?' the taller man asked sweetly, closing the door behind him, and Ciel heard the distinctive click of the door being locked.

'D-don't come any closer!' he shouted, scrambling onto the bed, away from Sebastian. This was not good at all.

P.S.

*This is the desert Sebastian gives to Ciel and Clause in chapter 1 (or at least that's what the kana says it is). It looks delicious. I think in the States, it's called "Napoleon"?
Ahaha, am I the only one who finds Viscount Druitt to be hilarious? I love how he describes Sebastian's curry in the manga!
Ahh, this chapter seems to be all about food, doesn't it!? It's making me hungry, and I had a whole pizza for lunch!

I hope you're all looking forward to the next chapter! I hope I'm not making these guys too out of character. u.u;
