More drama! More cuteness! More secrets! What's to become of the two? Who knows! But review, request for a story you would like to read, and enjoy!
Sebastian's POV
I feel a tap on my shoulder as I splash water onto my face. I look up, catching Bard's gaze through the mirror. I hold up a finger, telling him to wait while I scrub my eyes and mouth. I turn around after I am done, immediately focusing on Bard's lips as begins to talk.
"Everything alright? You kinda ran in here." I shake my head, releasing a sigh of tiredness. "Ciel?" I nod. "Sebastian, can I ask you somethin'? Why haven't you told him?"
I squint at him, confused with his question. "What are you referring to?"
He laughs. "You know, it is funny that you asked that. You have so many secrets that you keep from him."
"That is not fair. There are things that he can't know," I defend myself. He crosses his arm over his chest.
"Okay. I understand, but he is going to find out eventually about your condition, your feelings, everything. It might be best if you sit him down and confess. He won't appreciate it if he discovers the truth by someone else, Sebastian. You got to realize the consequences of your secrecies."
"Bard, let's not do this right now. I am not feeling well, and we have been over this many times. I already know that Ciel is not going to be happy." I finish in a whisper as I spin back to hold onto the sink. I clutch the porcelain, feeling like the troubles that are weighing me down increase. An arm wraps around me, and I see Bard lay is chin on my shoulder. A comforting gesture that is interrupted as I spot someone through the mirror that is not my blonde friend or I.
"Not happy about what?"
Ciel's POV
I don't mean for my tone to be this suspicious or harsh, but it is. I just came to escape Grell and to confront Sebastian about his lying. I didn't expect to see him and Bard getting all chummy with each other. And I know Bard is as straight as an arrow, but that doesn't stop me from being jealous at their close positions.
They both face me while remaining in the same embrace, and my annoyance that I was feeling earlier for Sebastian's outright lies flares up to the level of fury. It only gets worse when I don't get an answer.
"I am not going to be happy about what?" I press on, my voice rising a little. Because if they were talking about this incident right now, then yes, I not thrilled. Bard squeezes Sebastian, and I have to pinch my thigh to keep it from moving me forward to push him away from the black-haired male.
"Maybe I should go," Bard disrupts the silence. He finally lets his grip go, and he begins to walk away. That is until Sebastian grabs his hand and pulls him back.
"Don't leave." There is something in the way he says it that imitates a beg. Like he is pleading with Bard to stay with him. Like being alone with me is bad. Like he wants Bard's company instead of mine. I'm a both angered and hurt by it.
"Yeah, you stay. I'll go." I storm out of the bathroom and head to the bar.
Sebastian's POV
"Damn it!" I run my hands through my hair. "Damn it! Damn it! Damn! It!"
"Perfect opportunity to tell him something, and what do you do? Back out like you always do. Now he is pissed. You had better go fix this, Sebastian. I ain't going to be suppressing any articles that might arise if he makes a scene. Sure as hell Finnian won't. He has been kinda lazy recently. You know why?"
"No, I don't know. And if we are talking about backing out, what about you and your crush on Finny? Huh? That's right. Now, I am going to soothe my fiancé. Wish me luck." Because I will need it, I think, as I see Ciel gulping down shot after shot. I am starting to believe that he may have a drinking problem.
I go beside him, and he doesn't even spare me a glance. He just asks the bartender for another shot. I signal for the man to cut him off while flashing a fifty-dollar bill. He nods and pretends that he didn't hear Ciel's request. Which didn't sit well for my love because he tries to get over the counter to pour his own drink.
"No. Ciel. You can't do that." I pull him back, and he falls onto me. He glances up at me, with his cheeks flushed.
"Why are you here? Shouldn't you be with Bard? You like him more than me, anyways. Trailed after me like 'a love-sick puppy'? Yeah, right. You were always hanging around him more than you did with me. Why don't you just go marry him?" By the time that he is done, his eyes are watery, and he is releasing small hiccups. It is both a heartbreaking and heart racing sight. And then he snuggles into my arms as he sits on my lap. "Go marry him, I said!" He punctuates his order with him lightly hitting my chest with his fist. He is too cute.
Ciel's POV
I can't help acting like this. Can't help saying these words. And I could blame it on the multiple shots of Vodka I had, but I know my heart is the cause of my childish behavior. Well, the alcohol didn't help me. Speaking of my heart, why isn't he saying anything? Does he really want to marry Bard? Are they in a secret relationship? Is that what they were talking about earlier? Because if it was, they were spot on about how I would feel.
"Your my fiancé! You can't marry anyone else without my permission!" I yell in his face. His eyebrows shoot up, and I smile at how adorable he looks. "Aww, my hubby is blushing! Did you hear that? Your mine. Mine! Got it? Mine!"
"Wow, Ciel. Seems like you got over your bad attitude. I guess Dimitri did do something good today."
"Shuttaup!" I slur. "Go away, dad. I'm a busy with my Se-hic-bastian." My dad just laughs at my antics. "Shoo! Get!"
"Fine, but I just came to tell you we will be heading to the gentleman's club, and as the bachelors, you two are needed."
"Why?" I whine. "I don't want Sebastian to be looking at any but me. But me. Heh. Butt me." I start to giggle. "Do you look at my butt?" I ask the red flushed male underneath me. "Or do you just look at Bards," I spit out.
"I think I need to drive you to the club. Come on, Ciel," my dad commands while he pulls me away from Sebastian. I start pouting, and I want to go back, but he is dragging me out of the restaurant and into his car.
"Wait! I don't wanna go with you! And what about my car?" I try to open the door, but it is locked and for the life of me, I can't figure out how to unlock it.
"Finnian has the spare key. He will drop it at your place later. Now let's have a good time!"
"Why isn't Sebastian with us? He is coming, right?"
"Of course." My dad clarifies. "He is the other person who is getting married, isn't he?"
"Then where is he? He is not with Bard, is he?"
"Yup, he is driving Sebastian. You know, like usual. Since Bard is Sebastian's assistant," he says like he is talking to a stupid person. Which I am not.
"I don't like it. He needs to be fired," I declare with a grunt.
"What? Why would you say that? Bard is your friend, if you care to remember. Pretty good friends, I might add."
"So? He is too close to Sebastian." And he is mine.
