Correct any mistakes if I made them, please and thank you. Enjoy.

The slow ticking of the clock echoed through the silent living room. Ciel sat on the couch while quickly flipping through the numerous junk mail Alois had left for him on the coffee table.

"Jesus, how many credit cards do these companies think we need?" Ciel tossed the rest of the unopened envelopes onto the raggedy table and tossed himself back against the couch and left out a heavy sigh. His eyes focused on the ceiling while listening the the clock continue ticking. His knee bounced up and down impatiently.

'I need something to do, being here alone is driving me crazy.' Ciel stood up and walked into his room. Once inside, he began looking for things to tidy up or use to entertain himself. He decided to grab his handsome collection of savings and count it up. He tossed the money onto the bed and began organizing it in piles.

"I have no life." Ciel sighed and scooped the money back up and hid it under his mattress. He noticed Sebastian's card on his bedside table and smiled at the thought of his crush. His smile faded when he began thinking about the events that had occurred earlier that morning.

'I still don't understand how Sebastian could have known, or even guessed that Alois was about to walk in that door. I know he said it was just a good guess.. Maybe I'm just over thinking this. Whatever, it's silly to pay this much attention to nothing. I'm just doing it because I'm bored and have nothing else to do.' Ciel looked down at his alarm clock and growled. Without another thought, Ciel stood up and grabbed a thin sweater and headed for the front door, only stopping to grab his keys.

After bouncing down the stairs and making his way onto the sidewalk, Ciel inhaled the evening air and held it in for a few seconds before beginning to jog. His feet made hardly any noise against the sidewalk and the took him every direction he could think of. Around corners, down a few alleyways, up stairs and over a small bridge. His mind was clear and he was at peace. He hardly noticed the people walking by or standing on the sidewalk as he ran past them.

Before too long he found a small ice cream shop in a secluded part of the city he had never been to before. He stretched his legs out a little bit outside and walked into the shop. Immediately his eyes were drawn to a large freezer filled with numerous containers of ice cream with every color he could think of. He leaned forward while pressing his hand against the glass and staring wide eyed at the ice cream. Without even realizing it, a young woman made her way up to the counter to take his order. She watched as his eyes traveled from tub to tub and giggled quietly at the grin on his face.

"Can I help you sir?" Ciel looked up quickly and smiled.

"Oh no, thank you. I'm just looking, I left my wallet at home." The girl blushed when Ciel made eye contact with her. She opened her mouth to say something but was cut off by another voice.

"It's on me. Order whatever you'd like." Ciel turned around to see a tall and thin man wearing a grey suit standing behind him. His eyes were honey colored and his hair was styled fashionably. Ciel's face reddened a bit when he made eye contact with the man and suddenly became speechless.

"No, that's okay sir. I appreciate the offer very much." The man smirked and shook his head and shot a look up towards the girl behind the counter.

"Get him whatever it is he'd like, please. And keep the change." The man laid a bill on the counter and the girl nodded while smiling and thanking him.

"I saw the way you were eyeing those sweets, you looked like a small child in a candy store. And it's already paid for, so go ahead." Ciel smiled and looked back at the variety of ice cream through the glass plate. He pointed at a container and looked up at the girl standing waiting for him to make his selection.

"This blue one please." The young girl nodded and grabbed a scoop and began filling a medium sized plastic bowl with the bright blue dessert. She sat the bowl on the counter and Ciel happily a felted it and thanked her, then turned around to face the man again. He grinned at Ciel and offered him a seat outside at one of the small tables. They both say down and Ciel sat his treat down on the table and folds his hands in his lap. He noticed the man lean forward a bit over the table and stretch one of his arms out, handing him a small plastic spoon.

"Here you go." Ciel choked out a laugh and grabbed the spoon and stared back down at his bowl and shoved the spoon into the soft ice cream.

Ciel slowly began to dig into his treat and noticed the man sitting across from him watching him eat while staying completely silent. Ciel slowed down and eventually stuck the spoon back into the bowl and leaned back.

"So, thank you for the treat, it was very kind of you. May I ask why you did it though?" The man chuckled and stood up abruptly.

"I'm sorry I have to leave, I'm needed at work. I hope you enjoy the rest of your dessert and have a pleasant evening." The man pulled out a handkerchief and sat it on the table next to Ciel before taking one last look at his sweet confused face. He walked away and left Ciel sitting at the small table.

'That was kind of creepy. Sweet, but creepy.' Ciel shrugged and ate the rest of what was in his bowl and tossed it into the trash can behind him. He stood up and looked into the window to see the girl looking at him. He laughed quietly to himself and glanced down to see the handkerchief resting on the table. He picked it up and noticed two gold letters embroidered on one of the corners.

"C.F.?" Ciel shrugged and stuffed the silk cloth into his pocket and looked up to notice the sun had gone down and the sky was a dim purple color.

'I better get home before Alois does.' He took off from the shop and back down the street that lead him to it. Ciel's pace began fairly quick but soon slowed down as his hip began to cramp up a little. He held his arms above his head and continued to jog. Soon he was trudging through a tight alley and heard a small rustling from behind a garbage can. He stopped and peeked around the trash and found a cat digging through a trash bag. He shook his head and turned back towards his previous destination. He was about to take off before he noticed a body at the end of the alley standing still and shadowed by the darkness outside. Ciel felt a knot form in the pit of his stomach and he turned around to exit the alley and go around the long way. When he turned around to face the other direction, he saw another body standing in the same place and his knot began to tighten and his heart beat increased immensely. He looked around for a fire escape and didn't see one low enough to climb onto. The bodies multiplied and began to advance towards him from both directions. Ciel froze and couldn't move in any direction, his body stayed in place and all he could do was watch as the two groups of people make their way closer to him.

He finally felt his adrenaline kick in and he ran towards one of the groups and tried to push his way past them, only to be grabbed and shoved up against the wall. His back hit the brick building and his vision blurred and the air was sucked out of his lungs. He let out a small groan as numerous hands ransacked his body searching for personal items of interest. He heard voices yelling profanities and gibberish. His head was spinning and he felt himself being pulled forward and before he knew it he was pressed up against the wall face forward. A hand from behind him grabbed a hold of his hair and pulled it roughly while he felt two other hands grabbing a hold of his waist band and yanking his pants down. He knew what was going on and tried to yell or scream but no sound was coming out of his mouth. His eyes began to water and it wasn't long before his lashes were wet and he felt tears running down his cheeks. A hand reached around his waist and grabbed him tightly. He flinched and tensed up and before he could try to resist his head was slammed against the brick wall. His boxers were pulled down and he heard a zipper being ripped behind him. He tried to mentally prepare himself for what was about to happen.

He waited for pain to hit his body but it never came. He pushed himself away from the wall and leaned his back against it to support himself. He watched as a new foreign body fought with the other four who had attacked him. One by one they dropped to the floor and stopped moving. His vision was still blurred and foggy and all he could make out was a tall figure clad in all black. He wore a mask or scarf around his face hiding his mouth and nose. The body made its way towards him and when a hand reached out to grab one of Ciel's arms he flinched and shook his head. The figure stood still and held both of his hands up, then slowly stepped forward to reach out for Ciel again. As soon as a hand touched Ciel's shoulder his knees gave out and he collapsed. Before hitting the ground his body was caught and hoisted up into the strangers arms. Ciel's eyes made their way up to his holder's. His eyes widened as they met two bright pink and red orbs. His head relaxed and he became unconscious.

Ciel stirred around in his bed and quickly sat up, sweating profusely and shaking from the cold. His head was pounding and he held a hand up to his forehead and examined the room he was in. It was his. He stood up and walked into the living room to find no one else home.

'How the hell did I get back here?' Ciel's eyes began to water as he ran through the events that he endured earlier. He glanced at the clock and saw it was just about midnight. A hand knocked on his door and startled Ciel. He jumped and his eyes became wide in fear. He slowly walked towards the entry way and cracked the door open. When he noticed Sebastian's thin frame standing on the other side of the door he swung the slab of wood open and quickly wrapped his arms around Sebastian's toned chest. He began crying and couldn't find it in himself to stop or compose himself.

Sebastian wrapped his arms around Ciel's tiny body and carried him inside while shutting the door with his foot. He walked them both over to the couch and sat Ciel down on his lap. He gave Ciel a saddened and sympathetic look and patiently waited for Ciel to calm down. Once Ciel could breath again regularly his eyes met Sebastian's.

"I was so scared Sebastian." He began to choke again and couldn't help but cry more. Sebastian pulled Ciel against his chest and cradled him gently while rubbing his back and kissing his forehead gently.

"It's okay, nothing bad is ever going to happen to you again. I promise." Sebastian frowned and felt rage and anger pulse throughout his body. He held Ciel until he fell asleep, then scooped him up and carried him into his room. He rested his tiny body onto the bed and climbed into the bed with him. Sebastian slid forward until Ciel's back was pressed against his chest. He reached over his body and rested his arm over Ciel's waist. Before closing his eyes Sebastian kissed Ciel's shoulder.

"I'm sorry, this is all my fault."
