And yes, a flashback again on this chapter, written like this.
2 months later
It was a typical morning to Ciel Phantomhive, an assassin working for the mafia.
Two months ago he had met a man he had taken a liking to, but had told him a month ago that they could not meet anymore, since it was actually Ciel's job to kill the man.
Ciel had come back to the mafia's headquarters a month ago, telling his boss that he had finished his job, and wished that his boss would not need any prove. Fortunately for Ciel, he had believed the boy, trusting him because of his previous experience on the job and his exceptional skills.
His boss had suspected that something fishy was going on between the assassin and the target, but when the teenager had come back with a serious face, he knew he had done his job well, and finally killed Sebastian Michaelis.

"Sebastian…" Ciel began, getting up from the floor where they both had sat down, hugging and kissing each other. "I can't stay, as you know", the teenager continued, grabbing all his things, including all of his guns and knifes.
"Ciel…" The black-haired man said in response, ready to protest to the teen's reasons for leaving. "Please, Sebastian. It's just stupid, you know. We shouldn't, no, we can't see each other anymore, if both of us want to continue our life".
"Oh come on now, Ciel. We'll just keep this as a secret and everything's going to be alright", the man said, looking at the boy seriously. He didn't want him to leave, not when he had found someone to really care about.
"No. One thing I've learned in this job is that caring about people is a great weakness. The people I… care about can be used against me", the boy said, glancing at the black-haired man. "I really don't want to feel any pain", he continued, realizing how selfish he sounded, but ignored it since there was nothing else to do at the moment.
"Please, don't try to contact me. Let's protect each other that way", Ciel said, giving one affectionate glance at Sebastian before stepping out of the door.
"Goodbye, Sebastian".

"Ciel!" The boy heard someone yell from somewhere at the headquarters. He stuck his head out of his door. "Whaaaat?" He yelled back, waiting for an answer.
"You comin' to the club today?" Someone answered, and Ciel recognized that the voice belonged to Eric. The boy flinched at the thought, remembering that that way he had also met… him for the second time...
He was tempted to say no, but he had not done a lot during the past month, and yelled a quick 'yeah whatever' back to his colleague.
Sebastian… Everyday during the past month, he had been thinking about the man. About what was he doing or thinking. Did he ever think about Ciel? Did he ever miss Ciel the way Ciel missed him?
He shook his head, trying to get rid of his thoughts. He had told Sebastian that they weren't suppose to see each other anymore in order to protect each other, since if William would find about that Sebastian still in fact breathed and was full-alive, he'd be screwed instead.
Still, no matter what his brains told him, his heart missed him for some reason. They had been seeing each other for a month, and then Ciel had snapped and realized that it was bad for the both of them.
A month isn't a long time, but for Ciel… He had grown in fond of Sebastian.

Later in the evening the whole pack of the mafia stepped out of their headquarters, ready to have some fun. They drove around in a limo, trying to decide where to go.
They all wore a suit of some kind, William for example a black one, but Alan and Eric a grey one. Ronald wore a white one, and had forced Grell to wear a similar kind of suit to his instead of the dress Grell had insisted on wearing.
Ciel himself had a dark grey suit pants, but he had left the jacket out and paired up the pants with a pure-white dress shirt, but of course had black dress shoes.
After driving around for a while, the group had decided to go a strip club that resided in the downtown. Ciel wasn't too thrilled about the whole idea, but decided to enjoy, even if it would mean to get as wasted as possible.
When the group was inside, William headed to speak with some important-looking guy in a suit. Just after a while, they were seated in a VIP-table with their own waitresses.
'Privileges of being in the mafia', Ciel smirked to himself.
They ordered their drinks, including Ciel who decided to start off with Jack & Coke.
Everyone in the group were glancing at the strippers, Eric even disappeared somewhere after one of the women. Ciel ordered more and more drinks, finding himself to be almost bored to death.
After seven different drinks, Ciel's mind was getting blurrier, and most of the group's men had disappeared somewhere from the table, probably to take a closer look at the strippers.
Ciel then again, couldn't care less about the women. The only person in his mind was Sebastian.
After each and every drink, his phone and the man's number inside tempted him to pick up the phone and call the man… and just tell how much Ciel missed him. How much he wanted to see him. Besides, one call wouldn't hurt, right?
No. Of course it would. It is best for both of them if they just… could forget. If Sebastian even did remember Ciel anymore, it is.
After a few minutes, and two drinks later, Ciel's head was really fuzzy. Then, Alan appeared with a blonde woman, and they sat down on the table. The woman sat on Alan's lap, and they both faced the teenager.
"What's up, Ciel? Not having fun?" Alan asked the boy. "Not really", Ciel answered. "Oh come on, find someone for yourself now!" Alan said, and left with the blonde woman. That is when something snapped inside of him. 'Find someone for yourself', eh?
Ciel took his phone out, and searched for Sebastian's number, and when found, pressed the call-button.
The phone rang a few times, until someone picked it up.
"Ciel?" The voice answered. "Sebastian, I… I really don't know wh-where to begin…" Ciel started, the alcohol affecting his ability to speak clearly. "I really, like really, miss you like shit…"
Sebastian stayed quiet on the phone, and probably had realized by now that Ciel was badly intoxicated. "Sebastiaaaan, really. I… wanna see you. I miss you… So much…"
"Where are you, Ciel?" Sebastian asked after a ten second's silence. "At a bar. I think its name was… Something like G.H.I…"
"You sound very drunk. I'll come and pick you up in about ten minutes. Just wait inside", Sebastian said, hanging up the phone. "NO! You can't, my boss is here", Ciel yelled at the hung up phone. 'Shit'.
XxX
5 minutes had passed since Ciel had called Sebastian, and the younger one was wondering if the man really would come and pick him up as he had promised.
Not caring if he would or not, he ordered one more drink for himself, and enjoyed it.
About ten minutes later, Ciel got bored and started to look at the people dancing and partying. Everyone else seemed to have the time of their lives, and Ciel just sat there alone, drinking.
Suddenly, someone familiar-looking to Ciel stepped in, searching for something or someone with his eyes.
It was him. He really did come there for Ciel.
A few seconds later the man's gaze locked with Ciel's, and he started walking towards the blue-haired teen.
Ciel's heart was pounding with every step the man took. When he was next to Ciel, he said no words. "Sebastian… You came."
"I did", he answered, picking the boy up bridal style. "You're even more drunk than I feared. I'm taking you home", he continued.
"NO!" Ciel screamed, trying to get off of the man's grip, only to realize he couldn't even move.
"I don't want to leave! Let me down!" "Ciel, I came here already for you, I'm not going to leave you here", Sebastian answered calmly, carrying the boy outside of the club.
He walked calmly to his car, opening the passenger's door and carefully tucking Ciel on the seat. "Just sit now", Sebastian said, and closed the door.
He walked to his own side of the car, opened the door, sat down and started the engine. "I'm not going to leave you alone to the headquarters of whatever, I'm not going to risk that you'll throw up while asleep and then die. In other words, you're coming to my place", Sebastian said, driving away from the club, only to notice the boy was deep asleep already.
The man smiled a bit at the boy, who looked calm now, and continued driving.
XxX
After a while, Sebastian turned off the car's engine and got out of the car. Ciel startled awake from the sudden loss of movement, and looked around to see where exactly he was.
When Sebastian came and picked him up from the car, he remembered calling him and then him actually coming to pick him up from the club.
Ciel said no words when Sebastian carried him inside of his house, locking the door behind him.
Sebastian walked upstairs with the boy on his hands, finally arriving to his bedroom. He lowered the boy down on his bed. "Ciel, do you feel alright?" He asked gently.
"Yeah yeah, I do", a slightly more sober teen answered. "You didn't have to take me here, you know…" He continued, feeling a bit awkward. Of course he had wanted to return to this same house all the time during the past month, but his mind constantly reminded him why he shouldn't be there.
Sebastian was supposed to be dead, and Ciel shouldn't be thinking about him. And then, there he was at his house, at his presence. And he didn't mind it at all, more likely enjoyed it with all of his heart.
Sebastian sat down on the bed right next to him, stroking the boy's face with the back of his hand. "Sebastian…" The younger one whined. "Just take me to the headquarters. Or somewhere. I don't care where, but I can't be here…"
"Ciel… Really, don't tell me what to do when I've missed you so much", Sebastian said, making Ciel's heart stop. He really had missed him too.
"But…" Ciel was trying to fight, but Sebastian silenced him with his lips. Sebastian had bent over him on the bed, touching the boy's lips gently with his own ones.
"Ahh… Sebastian…" Ciel moaned at the passion of Sebastian's kiss, making his head go even fuzzier than it already was because of the alcohol. The younger boy wrapped his arms around the older one's neck, bringing him even closer. Ciel darted his tongue out, and licked Sebastian's upper lip, asking for entrance.
It was happily granted, and the muscles attacked each other. They moved their tongues at each other, rubbing and sucking.
Ciel couldn't help but feel happy for a while. He had missed the man's kisses. No, he had missed everything about the man, and couldn't deny his happiness when being close to him.
Finally, Sebastian pulled apart from the boy, panting a bit because of the lack of air.
"Sleep, my cutie. You will probably have a horrible hangover tomorrow", Sebastian started, tugging the boy underneath the blanket "but I'll be here to feel better", he said, smiling.
"Sebastian…" Ciel said, closing his eyes. "Yes, Ciel?" "Don't ever disappear from my life again…"
The older man smiled at the younger boy, giving him a kiss on the forehead.
"I won't, don't worry. Sleep well now."
A/N: That's about it!
Oh and by they way, I have received a few PMs stating that the fact that Ciel is a male disturbs a few readers of mine, and therefore have decided to change Ciel into a female after this chapter to please my readers to the fullest.
I know it is kind of radical to do something like this, but I want everyone to be able to enjoy this story, and if the other main character's gender disgusts someone (because of the romance), they surely are not able to read the story and actually enjoy it.
Therefore, I have taken some extreme measurements, but it's because of you guys.
Thank you for your understanding :)
Oh, and Happy April fool's day everyone! ;)
And yes, that was a joke of course, Ciel's a pure man! ;)
Chapter 8 with two hot men known as Ciel & Sebastian coming up tomorrow!
