Dramaaa bomb!
Alois was crying. Ciel had no idea what to do. He'd never seen the blonde cry before, it was a little scary. It was around 9 o'clock at night when Alois had burst into the room, sobbing. Ciel, not being the best at dealing with situations like this, made him a cup of tea, which was left to become cold, and awkwardly rubbed Alois's back. Sebastian was in the shower and didn't know Alois was there.
"Do you want to, like, talk about it?" Ciel asked hesitantly. Alois, who was lying face down on the couch, shook his head in reply. Ciel sighed, looking around for something to do. He got up and made himself a cup of tea, emptying Alois's into the sink. Such a waste, Ciel thought sadly.
Ciel loved tea; he drank at least two cups a day. After he finished school, he'd gone travelling with friends for a year, but ended up spending the majority of that time in America. America was hell for Ciel. It was near impossible to get tea, and when he could, it was absolutely nothing like what he had back at home. His friends tried to persuade him to take up drinking coffee, but he refused, settling on sulking about the lack of tea. He never took tea for granted again.
After a while Sebastian emerged from the shower, still slightly damp. He spotted Alois lying on the couch, still silently crying, and turned to Ciel, looking extremely confused. Ciel just shrugged. To Ciel's surprise, instead of ignoring the weeping blonde, Sebastian sat down beside him, looking almost sympathetic.
"What's up man?" he said. Alois lifted his head in surprise at hearing Sebastian actually addressing him.
"Um," he said simply, obviously confused as to why Sebastian would care about him. Ciel was confused too. Maybe Sebastian didn't hate Alois anymore, because of what had happened between them. But still, Sebastian rarely showed compassion. Ciel walked hesitantly towards the two, sitting on the coffee table. Honestly, Ciel had had enough drama for his liking, and was not exactly in the mood to deal with more. But Alois was his friend and he was, unfortunately, obliged to help him.
"Come on Alois," Ciel said softly, "tell us what's wrong."
Alois sat up, sniffing and wiping tears from his cheeks with his sleeves. He reminded Ciel of an upset child.
"It's just, well," Alois mumbled, looking at his lap, "I had a fight with Claude, and he kicked me out of his room, and-"
Alois started weeping slightly again, but took deep breaths to calm himself. He looked up at the two, his eyes still filled with tears.
"He said he didn't want to see me anymore."
At that he fell back on the couch, sobbing quietly. Sebastian and Ciel looked at each other in slight confusion and surprise.
"What?" Ciel asked, "But you guys only got together a few days ago, how could he be breaking up with you already?"
Alois calmed himself enough to speak again, "I said that, but he told me that we'd never even been dating. Apparently it was just a sex thing for him."
"That asshole," Sebastian hissed. Ciel turned to Sebastian in bewilderment. What the actual fuck. Only a few hours before Sebastian had despised the weeping boy on their couch. Ciel watched Sebastian get up and walk to the door, still utterly confused.
"I'll be back," was all Sebastian said, before leaving the room. Fucking terminator wannabe.

"Dude!" Sebastian cried, bursting through Claude's room. Claude looked up at him tiredly, as if he'd expected him to come bursting in.
"What?" he groaned.
"Duuuude," Sebastian repeated. Claude rolled his eyes and looked back at his laptop. Sebastian strode over to him and closed the laptop, looking down at Claude.
"What do you want?" Claude asked tiredly.
"Okay look, I don't really know what you're doing but you can't just pull this shit on Alois," Sebastian said, "he's fucking sobbing on my couch man."
Claude sighed and looked away. Sebastian's brow furrowed.
"Seriously man! I know you do this all the time but come on! He's obviously fucking in love with you."
"I thought you didn't like him," Claude murmured.
"Not particularly, but he's Ciel's friend. I don't want to have to deal with the back lash from your shit, I had enough with Hannah thank you very much."
"That was different."
Having been friends with Claude for most of his life, Sebastian was (unfortunately) quite involved in the stupid excuses for relationships Claude had. Claude got bored easily, especially with people. Sebastian was the only person he'd actually stuck with. In their final year of high school Claude met Sebastian's cousin, Hannah, at a party. Much to Sebastian's dismay, they dated for 3 weeks, a record for Claude. As usual, Claude broke it off suddenly. Hannah was around Sebastian's either crying or complaining about Claude for two months after that.
"It so isn't," Sebastian said, "why are you even ending it with Alois anyway? I thought you actually liked him."
"I do, he's just… clingy," Claude replied, shivering slightly.
"Get over it dude! No one is going to be fucking perfect for you okay, you need to learn to deal with people's crap."
"Whatever man, I don't have to do anything."
Sebastian growled, grabbing Claude by the shirt. He didn't know why he was so mad, it was Alois who got hurt after all, like he should care. But he did care, a lot.
"Stop being such an idiot!" he shouted, pushing Claude back roughly. He turned and walked to the door angrily.
"You need to sort it out with Alois. I know you like him, you're just being a pussy and getting scared of emotions. Don't fuck it up man," Sebastian said, before striding out the door, slamming it behind him.

"Where's Alois?" Sebastian asked Ciel when he got back to their room, seeing the empty couch.
"I took him back to his own room, he's asleep now," Ciel replied, putting his book down, "where'd you go?"
"To yell at Claude," Sebastian replied haphazardly, running his hand through his hair. He stood at the door awkwardly, not really knowing what to do.
"How'd that go?" Ciel asked, smirking.
"I dunno, he's just being an ass, I think he'll come round."
Although he didn't like that Alois was upset, he was sort of glad he was too immersed in his own sadness to notice anything different between him and Sebastian. Sebastian wasn't exactly good at pretending nothing was different. He thought about just giving up and telling Alois, but it could wait until he sorted out his problems with Claude.
"Are you tired?" Sebastian asked, still standing at the door, looking a little pathetic.
"Nah," Ciel replied, "I ate all the chocolate I offered Alois."
Sebastian snorted. Ciel laughed too. Then silence again. He really should have thought about what it'd be like to date someone he shared a room with.
"Hey," Sebastian said, "do you want do like, sleep together tonight or something?"
"What?!" Ciel yelped, his eyes growing wide.
"Oh my god no! Not like that! I meant like actual sleeping, like in the same bed!" Sebastian cried hastily, waving his arms wildly. Ciel sat in silence for a moment, before bursting out in laughter. He fell off the couch, holding his aching sides, giggling uncontrollably.
"Oh my god!" he cried out, "I totally thought you meant sex, holy shit!"
Sebastian stood in shock at Ciel's outburst for a moment, before slowly joining in. Soon enough they were both on the floor, holding back a few random giggles.
In they end they slept in Ciels bed together, Sebastian complaining for most of the night about how small it was.
"We should totally get a double bed," he finally groaned, after almost falling off for the fifth time.
AN- Thanks for all the reviews on the last chapter guys! (PS garryxmrchairfan thanks for the suggestion, I'll take that into consideration in future chapters, I really like the idea :3)
Hope you liked it! (Chapter 6 may take a little while due to school work I have (ugh) but I promise to work on it as much as possible!)
