A/N: Alright, time for chapter 6! And for once, it is not only like 1,000 words, now more like 2,000. The next chapters should be longer really. :D
I thank everyone for understanding my horrible way of ending everything in a cliffie.
No cliffie this time though. :) I promise!
Enjoy!
By the way, the paragraph written like this is a flashback.
Just to clear things up.
'…What?' Ciel's mind screamed inside of his head, but he didn't dare to say no word out loud.
It was true that a month ago, the mafia was blackmailing someone with a member of the victim's family, but she didn't want to admit to be weak. She, named Joliné and aged 17, had tried to play hero by herself and tried to attack Ciel, who was put in charge of her.
"Hey, get back there!" Ciel yelled at the 15-year old teenager girl Joliné Michaelis, who had just now stood up and didn't obey one of his kidnappers, namely Ciel. "I am not going to listen to you!" She screamed right back at his blue-haired kidnapper, marching to the door.
Ciel ran right before her in front of the door. "I can't let you leave. I've been told to rather kill you than let you go", the older boy said, looking straight into her eyes. "I don't give a shit, let me go back! In fact…" She continued, reaching for Ciel's gun that hung on his waist, "I'll make you let me go!"
Joliné got a hold of the gun, and ripped it off of Ciel's waist. "Fucking give it back you brat!" Ciel yelled, and tried to get a hold of the gun again, failing miserably.
The girl was just about to pull the trigger when aiming to Ciel, put suddenly dropped the gun, feeling unbearable pain.
She looked down on her chest, and saw a knife on her stomach. Ciel let go of the knife, leaving it on her stomach. Joliné gagged in pain, trying to get the knife off of herself.
"I told you, girl. I was supposed to kill you if you tried to escape", Ciel said, biting his lip, wondering what his boss would say. He wouldn't certainly appreciate what happened, but hopefully thinking that it was better than letting her escape and humiliate the mafia.
The girl collapsed on the floor, bleeding. She let out a few more whimpers before she silenced completely. Ciel walked next to her, pulling the knife out. "Foolish girl. You didn't need to die".
"It was you who killed Joliné!" Sebastian yelled. Ciel froze completely, unable to move or say anything.
The only thing on his mind was what Sebastian would do to him.
Just when they were starting to get a better 'friendship' or whatever you could call it, it turns out the only kill Ciel ever had regretted was the man's stepsister.
"Honestly! I know you were trying to blackmail me, but why did you have to kill her?"
"It was an accident!" Ciel screamed, partly desperate. He didn't want the man to hate him.
"And how exactly was that an accident?"
"I told her that I couldn't let her go! I told her that if she would just be quiet she would be okay, but she didn't listen to me and tried to shoot me with my own gun! It was the only thing I could do to protect myself!" Ciel kept yelling. He wanted the man to know the whole story, he wanted the man to understand why Ciel did what he did.
'Of course, he wouldn't understand even if you told him everything', Ciel's senses told to him. 'He would just be more furious when you'd pathetically try to protect yourself from his rage'.
"I was never supposed to kill her, but it was the only thing I could have done! I really never wanted to kill her, I mean it", Ciel told the other man, burying his head on his hands. "That's what destroyed my career! I started developing feelings for other humans and didn't find killing as easy as it was for me…"
"Oh dear Joliné, what a stupid little brat you were…" Sebastian murmured to his hand while shaking his head. "I always told her that her stubbornness wouldn't lead to anything good…"
Ciel raised his head a bit and listened to the man. "As much as I disliked her, she wouldn't have needed to die for me", he said, finishing his sentence.
"…What? You disliked her? But… She was your stepsister, right? How could you have not liked her, if she was related to you?" Ciel asked, shocked and his face demanding an answer.
"Yes, it's true she was related to me. She was my father's daughter, and I actually met her for the first time about a year ago", Sebastian said, biting his lip. "So did my mother. My father had whored around while he had children of his own and a wife! Joliné's mother then… My father, still to this day, claims he doesn't know. Said it was a one-night-stand", the black-haired man continued, clear disgust and hatred in his voice.
"That's just how much his real family meant to him. Then just one day, about a year ago, Joliné appeared, claiming my father to be hers. Her mother probably had found my father somehow and sent her to our family".
"How can you be sure she was your father's child?" Ciel interrupted, feeling pity but still interested about the story.
"DNA-tests were taken of course, to calm my own mother. My father, all the way until the test results were out, claimed that Joliné wasn't his. Wasn't so. Joliné's mother had dumped her out of her house, so she started living with us."
"That's so sad…" Ciel said, looking concerned, earning a 'I don't need your pity'-look from Sebastian. "What happened then? Did you all live normally after that?"
"No… My mother left, leaving us behind her. We were forced to live with that disgusting father of mine, me and my real sister I mean. And then Joliné of course", Sebastian said, clenching his teeth. "Though I don't blame her for anything. It wasn't her choice or fault. I just never got greatly along with her, and the bond we were supposed to have, never formed. Practically, she was just someone living with us, like a guest".
"…I see…" Ciel said, not actually very sure what to say. Sebastian really didn't seem to care too much about the girl. "But… I really didn't want to kill her, if it helps anything…" Ciel mentally bitch slapped himself. 'Of course it doesn't you idiot!'
Suddenly, Ciel felt a pair of arms around him. "Thank you", Sebastian said while hugging the boy, almost suffocating him. "Though, I didn't practically give a shit about her, so you don't need to apologize."
Ciel blushed at the sudden move of the man, but didn't make any movement.
"I'm sorry about this then", Ciel said, quickly taking out a knife from his jacket, and pressed it to Sebastian's back softly, only to inform the man that he shouldn't do anything stupid movements right now.
Sebastian chuckled a bit, though not letting go of the boy. "What a fool I am. Of course I should have realized that you still are an assassin ordered to kill me".
"Indeed…" Ciel said, pressing it a bit harder on the man's slender backside. "I'm sorry about your stepsister anyway, since I didn't have to kill her. You, then again, are supposed to die by my hand. Even if I wouldn't want to kill you anymore…", Ciel said, taking a deep breath "…I have to do it. It's just my job, which I myself have chosen".
"I understand… Well, it is my own fault for falling into your trap", Sebastian said, making Ciel feel uneasy. The teenager didn't want to kill the man anymore. He liked him, in a strange, twisted way. The way you like someone when you've known them for just a while.
"Well then, do it. I won't fight back anymore; it'll just lengthen the whole killing-process. Since I don't want to kill you anymore either…" Sebastian said quietly, still hugging the boy who was pressing the knife against his back.
Silent seconds passed, and Ciel felt his hesitation growing inside of him. "I…" He began, trying to think what he should do. Sebastian was right, another one of them had to die before this whole thing could be over.
"I can't do it", Ciel said, letting go of the knife. The knife fell to the floor, letting out a small clattering noise.
Ciel knew it was ridiculous. This all was. It had been just a few days, but he had let the man become his weak point. He didn't know what exactly it was about him, but something just prevented him to do anything.
"You can't, or you don't want?" Sebastian asked quietly, never letting go of the teen.
"Probably both…" Ciel answered just as silently as Sebastian asked the question.
For the next few minutes, either of them didn't say anything, Ciel just stood there with Sebastian's arms around him.
Finally, Ciel decided to say something to break the silence. "You know what's stupid? The fact I really never knew you before, and I've known you for less than a week", Ciel began. "But I still feel like I've known you for many years. You just seem like that kind of a person to me", he said more quietly.
"The funniest thing is that never before has anyone done anything like this to me. People have tried to become my friends for a long time, only a few of them succeeded, but never like this or in such a short time. It just feels so right for some reason…", the blue-haired boy said, sighing deeply. "I'd just like to know what it is in you that makes me like this".
Sebastian smiled a bit, though his head was buried to Ciel's shoulder, so the younger one couldn't see the small smile that had formed on the man's lips.
"A real, meant compliment from you to me. How sweet is that?"
Ciel bit his lip. "Stop joking. It's not a joke for me…"
"I know", Sebastian said, pulling Ciel a bit further away from him, so that their heads were faced to each other. "Neither is it to me", Sebastian said, moving his head closer to Ciel's, moving his own lips to the boy's.
Ciel was taken aback because of the kiss. He hadn't expected it, but still enjoyed it. No matter how stupid and ridiculous was, it still felt so right.
He moved his lips against Sebastian's and moaned quietly. It was so right. He wrapped his smaller arms around the man's neck and the man gripped to the boy tighter.
After several minutes, Sebastian finally pulled apart, still keeping his arms around the smaller body. "Sebastian…" Ciel said quietly, gripping to the said man. "It's alright…" The man answered, holding the boy. No matter how cold-hearted the boy claimed to be, deep inside he just wanted to be loved and cared about, just like every other person in this cruel world.
Sebastian raised his hand to stroke the boy's cheek, who was now looking Sebastian straight into the eyes. "It just feels so stupid… This whole thing is so ridiculous", Ciel said quietly, looking over the man's shoulder. "I know what you mean… Do you still deny it doesn't feel okay?"
"No… It just feels so weird. Love at the first sight and such things just can't exist, and neither should this", Ciel continued, sighing. "It is just abnormal for two people to be like this after knowing each other for just less than a week".
"You are right, I know", Sebastian said. "But does it really matter?" Ciel sighed happily, and smiled a bit.
"I guess it doesn't".
A/N: Okay, so a small explanation:
Joliné was kidnapped by the mafia because of William's rage towards Sebastian, and Sebastian was blackmailed with his stepsister, since William wanted to get the precious documents from the former killer aka Sebastian in order to punish him for what he did, and to destroy everything he had left.
Joliné wasn't meant to be killed, but since she didn't behave, Ciel just did as he was told to do: he killed her.
AND NO CLIFFHANGER THIS TIME PEOPLE! (:
