Author's Note: Okay! We're on chapter fifteen. WOO! Also, I'd like to kindly point out that we're nearing the end of this beautiful romance story. Please review, favorite, follow, all that good stuffs. And let's give a warming hello to the noobs of the story *waves frantically* NOOBS please enjoy your stay at the Phantomhive Manor! Old peoples, KEEP enjoying your stay at Phantomhive Manor. If you don't, I fear Sebastian may just have to use some knives on you. *points at Bassy in corner growing mushrooms* Sebastian, that is Tamaki's thing! *sigh*

Sebastian walked into his house and leaned against the door once it shut. He secured his eyes closed, letting out a deep breath. Why hadn't he just gone for it and kissed Ciel like he so desperately wanted to? He was such an idiot. He didn't even know if Ciel felt the same way about him. How does one go about asking out a guy, anyways? It can't be the same as a girl…

Sebastian turned back around and looked out of the peep-hole, seeing Ciel standing at the edge of his driveway. He had his phone pulled out again, typing hard into it as if… agitated? No, that wasn't it. Nervous, maybe? Ciel put his phone away and walked off.

In the wrong direction.

If he was going home, he would have went right, not left.

Sebastian opened the door and shut it quietly behind him, watching as Ciel rounded the corner. Still going in the wrong direction. Where the hell is he going?

Sebastian slowly began walking after Ciel. Left, left, right, left. And he stopped. Sebastian jumped behind a bush, hiding himself from anyone's vision. He watched as Ciel knocked on a door, waiting for it to open patiently. And then it did.

The person standing in the doorway was such a surprise, Sebastian nearly blew his cover. He had to put a hand over his lips to muffle a scream of shock.

Claude Faustus. The school librarian. Who was also married to the principle, Doctor Hannah Anafeloz-Faustus.

Sebastian watched as Claude pulled Ciel into a tight embrace and kissed him hard, as if they weren't out in the open and Ciel wasn't underage. They pulled away from the kiss and Ciel was ushered into the house, the door slamming behind him.

This was not okay. Did Ciel even know what he was getting himself into?

Sebastian backed up, trying not to think of the fact that he'd just witnessed a guy he was quite possibly - no, seriously - in love with, making out with a fucking teacher. He walked back home sluggishly, his sleepiness finally catching up with him. How was he supposed to confront Ciel about his feelings now?

He needed Ciel to stop seeing Claude.

Sebastian had finally found some free time during the next day at school. He went to the library, half of him wanting to do some make-up homework and the other half of him wanting to look at Claude.

He was seated so he could see Claude, but Claude couldn't see him. It was the perfect position for snooping. He put his books out on the table, as if he were actually studying or doing homework, but no. His eyes were always on Claude.

His hair was the same color as Sebastian's, his eyes a golden yellow, and his lips were just… Ew. Mine are way more kissable. Sebastian rolled his eyes, putting an elbow on the table and his face in his hand. What did Ciel see in this guy? What did Dr. Anafeloz see in this guy? He looked sorta like Sebastian - which was completely weird - but Sebastian had to hand it to himself, he was way hotter.

His mind drifted off as he thought about Ciel. His Ciel, definitely not Claude's Ciel. Like Sebastian would really let Claude have him. Sebastian wanted to love Ciel, to bring him flowers out of random, to take him to prom.

Sebastian could just imagine how adorable Ciel would be at prom, especially after dancing. Ciel's face would be flushed, his breathing a little ragged, his eyes sparkling…

Then they'd kiss. The kind of kiss one would see at the end of a romance film, where the music swells and the guy finally gets the girl.

And it'd be magical.

But he was stuck here, staring at Ciel's lover. His illegal lover.

Sebastian rolled his eyes, looking Claude over once more. His eyes narrowed as thoughts of Ciel actually sleeping with this dickwad entered his mind. That was the only rational reason Sebastian could think Ciel would be with this guy for.

I bet my dick is bigger...

Ciel hadn't seen Sebastian all day. They were supposed to hang out at his house that night, but it seemed like he'd stayed home from school again. Ciel slammed his locker shut and looked around, for any sign that he would still have company. Sebastian came sprinting down the hallway.

"Hey, Ciel! I'm glad I caught you!" Sebastian panted when he reached his friend. "Sorry for being MIA today. I had a test to make up before school, then I went to the library during lunch." He grinned.

"It's alright. Are we still hanging out?" Ciel asked, looking at him with a smile.

"Of course. Why wouldn't we?" Sebastian grabbed Ciel's bag from the ground and flung it over his shoulder. Ciel reached for his backpack, but Sebastian stepped away. "Uh-uh. I'll carry it."

Ciel glared at him, but shrugged his shoulders and began walking toward his house, Sebastian following closely. "So how was the test?" he asked, looking at Sebastian through his peripheral view.

"It was easy. I shouldn't have stayed home, but it gave me extra time to study." He shrugged, smiling. Then he looked at the younger male, his gaze turning cold. "I need to talk to you about something, by the way."

"What is it?" Ciel said, shrugging out of the uniformed jacket and throwing it over his shoulder.

"Why did you go to Claude's house yesterday?"

Ciel stopped moving, his breath hitching in his throat. "I… I don't know what you're talking about," he stammered, catching up to Sebastian who had kept walking.

"I followed you last night, Ciel. Please don't lie." Sebastian rolled his eyes, getting a bit annoyed.

"Well," Ciel began, chewing on his lip nervously, "Claude and I started seeing each other around the time I started suspecting Grelle of not being pregnant." He blushed, fingers combing through his blueish-gray hair. "He said he's leaving Dr. Anafeloz for me. He says he loves me, Sebastian."

Sebastian crossed his arms. "Ciel, he's lying to you."

"How would you know?"

"They're marriage has probably gone to shit and they're not having sex anymore. Why does any teacher sleep with a student?" Sebastian rolled his eyes, putting a hand in his pocket.

"You don't know him like I do."

"I don't want to know him like you do, Ciel. Besides, it's illegal. You're seventeen and he's probably like forty-something," Sebastian retorted.

Ciel looked at him with an icy glare. "He's a gentleman. Even if he is forty-something, he's still good to me. And the sex is pretty awesome."

Sebastian's eyes went to the sky as he cringed. "Please never say that again about Claude. That's just gross, Ciel. Seriously. It's illegal and it's disgusting and he's married. End of story."

Ciel opened the door to his house and stomped up to his room. "I think I love him, Sebastian!" he called over his shoulder.

Sebastian stormed after him, slamming the front door on his way. "You can't love someone you only see to have sex!"

Ciel was sitting on his bed, his phone in his hand, texting. "You can if it's true love!"

The raven-haired male took the device from him and looked him square in the face. "I know what true love is, Ciel. Claude is not your true love. Trust me."

"Oh how would you know? You've only dated Grelle."

"Because I love you," Sebastian screamed in his face. His expression went blank and all color drained from his face. "I… I mean…" He stood up and handed Ciel his phone back. "I really don't know how to recover from this one."

Ciel stared at him, straight-faced. "You what?" he asked, tilting his head slightly in confusion.

"I love you."

The younger male scoffed, "Yeah, right. That's a pathetic attempt to get me to stop seeing Claude."

Sebastian scowled at him. "Either you break it off with Claude or I'm telling Dr. Anafeloz."

Ciel looked at him with a glare, his heterochromatic eyes cold as ice. Sebastian would never do that to him.

Would he?
