"What? You're going shopping?"

"Wha- no. I have some business with the Undertaker and I wanted for you to come with me, am I clear?"

"Well, Alright then..."

Ciel wasn't lying when he said he wanted to talk to Undertaker. Based on how the albino reacts and observes. His hearing -although pretty great- is not as good as the accurate sense of his surroundings. He might be powerful, but he certainly has some limits. He is not a demon you know.

He never saw the boy fight though. Such a shame that he can't see it for himself this day. The reason he wanted to go to the Undertaker is that he wanted to know more about Y/n Zoldyck. He might be a well-known criminal for all he knows. He wanted to make sure that he and his servants are safe. And that's all that matters to him right now.

He looked around the surprisingly calm streets of England. The structure, behavior, and overall aesthetic of the world are extremely different than his own. Females ALWAYS wear gowns, while men wear some type of suit. Their outfit is more simplistic than their feminine counterpart. However, in his world. Both are as extravagant as the other. It is truly fascinating to compare these two together. It never failed to wow him when it comes to this kind of thing. To these people, it is normal for the place to look like this, but for him, it looks ancient.  So old, and fascinating. Y/n was not one of the people that like history. He rather want to look to the present rather than the past thank you very much. But the evolution and the differences always make him happy in a way.

Ciel sacrifices not having Sebastian to his side just to know if this person his age is capable of protecting him as his butler can. If something bad happens, he knows that his demon butler will be there. He just can't help but worry if he might get hurt by doing this. He is starting to think this is a bad idea. This person is not a supernatural being. He is not a demon, an angel, a reaper, or a demon hound. He is a human. Like Ciel. What can a human boy do to protect him? A person that is more childish than him. 

He is normally not this judgemental, but he is bitter that a human boy like him claimed that he can protect him. If this person can do it, then why can't Ciel do it? Why can't he be like him then? Probably because he is fully dependent on his butler but still. Because of his stupid asthma...

This person... he is peculiar. Ciel thought. The way he speaks, he presents himself, the way he walks, the subtle twitches and behavior that his body naturally emits. It is all so foreign to him that it vexed him, and yet he wanted to learn more. You can say that he was simply intrigued. You can say that he is curious, or just overthinking everything. But what he knows is that this person is more than he seems, he felt like there is something hidden within his very soul that he didn't mention on Ciel. 

Normally, he will let his butler handle this kind of situation. By gathering information for him. But now, he wanted to do this all by himself. He wanted to uncover the enigma that is Y/n L/n. To know what secret that has been undiscovered. Was it dark? He didn't know. And he wanted is to do this by talking to Y/n, gaining his trust(he thinks it might be too fake, but he convinces himself that what he is doing is still genuine, even though his end goal is kind of selfish and cruel.)  He has a feeling Y/n will appreciate it more. Even though he is still gathering information about himself. 

But for now, he wanted to know what he is in store for him.

This wasn't part of the plan. To have real scoundrels corner him in an alleyway that he needed to cross to arrive at the designated place that he desires to go to. He didn't want to go as far as to hire a fake culprit, he is not that desperate. But here there were. A real one.

The culprits must think that two boys can't defend themselves. To his part, yes it is true, He is weak in terms of fighting these men. But he was unsure about the other. He didn't hear any sound as he stared at one of them. He has a big stature that covers his view of his supposed bodyguard. The person is grinning at him, showing his disgusting yellowish teeth as he told the noble that they will sell them into the black market. He remained silent, it dragged out in a long time that the air became tense.

The commotion behind this person has gone quiet even before this disgusting man speaks. Too quiet. Not a single struggle or vocal response can be heard. He wondered if his bodyguard bailed on him to save himself, which Ciel didn't blame him for doing, this is a very scary situation. But his declaration of protecting him is a lie-

His trail of thought had gone short as he heard a whisper in his ear...

"Close your eyes..."

The voice is so serious and demanding that he can't help but unconsciously close his eyes and obey his command. The voice is Y/n, but his whole demeanor with his voice changes drastically. It was honestly unnerving. So, he waited, he waited for the screams of pain as he readied himself and tried to tune them out the best he could when it began...

However, it never came.

The loud sound of slamming against the floor is the only thing that he heard. His mind panicked and his thoughts automatically lead to the worse case scenarios that he could possibly think of. But all he felt is warm arms wrapped around him as this person lead him to the opposite of where he is looking at. And began walking in that direction. One arm left his shoulders and onto his cheeks.

"You can open them now."

And he did, he couldn't help but gasp at the gentle smile that the Zoldyck is giving him. It makes him feel warm. Like his family make him feel. In which he couldn't even remember how it felt until now. I was different from Sebastian. While yes, he is completely safe being with the butler saving him. He is obligated to do it after all. But there is no reassurance, no warm embrace, no gentle look. It is not like he wanted it from him, he knew that he sold his soul to the demon, he is fully aware of that, and that is why he didn't feel any safer to him. Sebastian wanted his soul, not how he is feeling. And he is fine with that. He has no special feelings towards Sebastian, they are business partners. And to Y/n, they are technically are too. But he was just caught off guard how much care and concern he saw within the white-haired boy's eyes. How can he miss how beautiful he looked?

So he stayed silent, and let the boy lead him to the direction of the Undertaker.

He will let this display of disrespect to a noble slide... for now...

Never really expected this to be this progressive already. But I'm happy with how it turned out. I just thought it is too early ya know? But I'll see where this'll go.
