Hey! I'm sorry this chapter is kinda short, I was rushing to get it done and because I start school today odds are I'll be trying to update regularly and much more often, but it'll be a touch hard too, but maybe not that hard, but anyways I hope everyone enjoys this new chapter! ^^^
Ciel walked home alone, letting out a soft breath as he walked and clutched his school bag. For some reason all day long he felt nothing but a slight guilt that bubbled and sat inside of him all during the day and he let out a breath. He knew he shouldn't have slapped Sebastian in a way but he couldn't help it it was just a reaction. Sebastian was bringing out sides of him that he didn't know exist and he frowned gently, it was strange these sides of him were coming out for Sebastian and not for some strange girl, ut he had to keep himself strong and solid against any and all of Sebastian's advances to him. He sighed again as he approached his house and when he opened the door there stood Sebastian and he froze. Sebastian was sporting a mark on his right cheek and it was strange to see that face being marred by something such as a slap, it made his guilt double. He didn't speak and he looked down walking forward, right up the stairs and ran to his room where he slammed the door and he leaned against it pressing a hand to his forehead right under neath his hair.'
His lips throbbed faintly with the feel of Sebastian's against his own and it was so very different for him, he knew he couldn't let himself be soft around Sebastian. He let out a breath standing up right and he threw himself onto the bed burrowing his face into the bed sheets. He was a grown man! He didn't need to let this complicate things! He turned his head to the side and even though it was a brief moment, even if he had convinced himself he hated it, some part of him trembled when he recalled that kiss Sebastian gave him. He blinked before shaking his head when Sebastian knocked on the door. Sebastian stood there in the hall, feeling somewhat victorious for giving Ciel that kiss and he grinned to himself when Ciel refused to open the door and when it did Sebastian was shoved back hard enough he stumbled and felt his back pressing against the wall and his red eyes widened to see a very infuriated and almost grumpy looking Ciel, before he could say one word, Ciel stepped out into the hall, walked around Sebastian and walked down the hall to his study and slammed the door and Sebastian merely chuckled out softly.
Ciel was being so cute being all huffy and angry with him, he couldn't help but think that Ciel reminded him of a disgruntled kitten, he grinned slightly as he stood there, running a hand through his black hair and he rested his head back against the wall looking in the direction of Ciel's study. He grinned widely and fully, loving that he could make the bluenette feel so disgruntled, he walked to the study and then, for some god forsaken reason he hesitated, he didn't know why he hesitated, he never did. He let out a breath then began to walk forward knocking on the study's door gently, before he could even say one word, Ciel ripped the door open, he had a coat on and Sebastian immediately opened his mouth to say something but before he could, Ciel grabbed his shirt tight in his hands, walked forward until Sebastian was pressing against the wall and his blue eyes almost seemed to burn into his own and he leaned up pressing his lips to Sebastian's and the raven haired man stood frozen, his red eyes widening with shock and Ciel pulled away, the kiss cut to short and Ciel ran off once again and Sebastian pressed a hand to his mouth lightly. Then he grinned.
'It must be working, in the few days I've known him, I must be wearing him down by now.'Sebastian thought to himself as his grin grew and widened until he looked like the grinning Cheshire Cat but he couldn't help it. 'This little seduction will reach its crescendo before you even know it Ciel Phantomhive, and when it does, you will never know there was a world like this waiting for you.' He smirked as he walked back to Ciel's room picking his coat and bag up walking downstairs when Ciel's aunt came rushing out then lit up when she saw Sebastian.
"Sebastian! I'm very relieved to see you!" She says in a happy tone and he tilted his head.
"And why is that?"
"Well for one its less time I'd have to spend looking for you since your right here."
"Ah."
"Well there's also something else I want to talk to you about."
"And that is?"
"I want you to stay here for a little while."
"What?!"
"Yes, you see, Ciel will have to learn to get used to you, since your father and you are moving into the street over from us practically, I figured Ciel must start getting used to men and people his own age instead of him being a recluse."
"I-I see. But why have me stay here when I live just the street over."
"Because its very convinient for you to just be here within the household instead of a street over instead. Plus we have a guest room prepared for you, you can get to know Finny, Bard and Mey-Rin, their people Ciel speaks rather fondly about strange as that is."
"He does?"
"Yes, he met Finny,Mey-Rin and Bard when he was only about thirteen years old, something in him made all three of them join our little family with Tanaka, it made things easier for Ciel in some ways or another being with people he trusts."
"I see. Has Ciel always been this way?"
"Oh Heaven's no! He used to be such a happy child, he would smile bright for every one and everything, he loved his family very dearly."
"Really he did?" Sebastian asks the surprise in his tone was hard to keep hidden and Madame Red grinned gently.
"I see its a bit hard for you to comprehend that but it is true, once before Ciel could smile so beautifully, I only wish to see that smile again, I wish I could."
"Maybe, I could get him too just for your sake." Sebastian says looking at the red head but she just shook her head gently her own soft smile curving over her red lips.
"No its quite alright Sebastian. Besides when Ciel smiles,I want it to be because he's truly and genuinely happy, no offense, but not because you had him smile. Its strange I know." She replies and Sebastian saw a deep, aching sadness flash in her eyes once before she seemed to remember something. "Sebastian this is strange of me to ask but would you like to see a picture of Ciel's parents?"
"Its not strange at all, but I would like to." He says showing her a soft smile.
"Then come with me." She says smiling turning and walked forward and he followed. It took not long before they came to a door and she opened it, he guessed it was just her office when she picked a framed photograph up off the desk and gave it to him smiling gently. In the picture stood a tall man with deep brown eyes, deep dark blue hair to the point it could be mistaken as black, he had a small mole under his right eye. ((A/N: My rights and lefts are completely different for some people so just bare with me for that kinda thing.)) Beside him stood a slightly short yet tallish woman, she had long flowing blonde hair pulled back into a ponytail that trailed over her left shoulder, she had big deep blue eyes and a soft smile, in her arms however, was a small, wide eyes and brightly smiling little boy. He felt shocked when he realized it was Ciel.
"That was the last photo they had together, that is Ciel's father and mother Vincent and Rachel Phantomhive. They were such a happy family, Ciel adored and loved his parents more than anyone in the world and they loved him so dearly, it was so amazing to just stand in their presence, to feel that kind of love."
"Really?" Sebastian says looking up from the picture to look at Angelina who nodded softly.
"Yes really, I used to be with them any time I could when I wasn't working. Ciel was so happy back then and it was amazing that he was, but life is cruel and it snatched his happiness away when he was young."
"What happened."
"Well. . . I think that's something for Ciel to tell you, not me, its not my place to speak of it. Only him. You'll just have to get him to tell you about it, but be subtle about it don't let him know you came with me and saw this, he doesn't like other's really knowing of his parents and him all to much strange as that is for him, he's so grown up, I know he seems bratty but he's much much wiser and so much more smarter than many people his age, he was forced to mature rather fast, it's sad, he stopped being a child for so many years."
"I see.I should go wait for Ciel to come back so I can get him to speak to me about it."
"Alright, I enjoyed this kind of talk with you Sebastian, maybe we should talk much more often."
"Perhaps we should." Sebastian replies a small smile curving over his lips.
"Well I should go, your father is probably waiting for me at the office." She says picking up her small bag and began walking out with Sebastian on her heels almost and when she got to the door she turned her head looking over her shoulder at him. "Oh and please don't beat each other senseless again, I don't want to come home to a wrecked house and two injured men, its not a pleasant way to come home if you know what I mean." She says and he chuckled.
"I know what you mean. Alright, I won't let a fight break out, enjoy your day Angelina."
"You too Sebastian." She replies smiling and walked out the door clicking shut softly and he let out a breath.
'It seems like he's much more complicated. I wish to know more of his past, it shouldn't be too hard to get it out of him should it? No I don't think so. Now all I have to do is wait for him to come back ,its not like he can ignore me forever.' He thought to himself chuckling out softly and began walking to the stairs.
