I don't want to want you

Chapter 8 . I believe you're right about that .

A couple of days had passed since he had left his peace offering outside of Alois' dorm and he hadn't heard a word from him since. He was starting to think that he might not have appreciated the gesture. Maybe he didn't like the fact that Ciel had made an independent move in this little game of his. Ciel didn't have time to ponder though; he was late for date night with Lizzy. They were going to the movies to watch some stupid romantic comedy.

Ciel pulled on an azure blue button-up and as he started buttoning it he heard the familiar ping of someone sending him a message on Facebook. He didn't really have time to check the message right now, but curiosity got the better of him.

Alois Bootylicious Trancy:
Ciel

Not this again.

Ciel Phantomhive:
Alois

Alois Bootylicious Trancy:
Can I call you?

Ciel checked the time and a jolt of panic went through him when he realized that he was supposed to meet Lizzy outside the movie theatre in less than ten minutes. He grabbed his shoes and ran out and hurriedly locked the door.

He got there five minutes late but Lizzy didn't seem to mind. They bought some sodas and popcorn and took their seats in the back of the half-filled movie theatre. Lizzy seemed to enjoy watching the trailers and Ciel took the opportunity to pull his phone out and reply back to Alois. His answer was half an hour late but it seemed as though Alois was still online.

Ciel Phantomhive:
I can't talk right now.

Alois responded immediately.

Alois Bootylicious Trancy:
Can I text you?

Did Alois even have his number? Ciel chuckled softly to himself. Of course he did. Why he even bothered to ask for permission was beyond Ciel's understanding but he figured he must have his own peculiar reasons.

Ciel Phantomhive:
No. I'm at the movies.

Alois Bootylicious Trancy:
You took so long to answer before that I thought you didn't want to talk to me. So I left something at your dorm for you, but Finny took it. I hope he doesn't eat it.

"Would you put that away already? The movie is about to start!" Lizzy nagged. Ciel typed a quick "good bye" before pocketing his phone.

"Sorry..." he muttered.

He couldn't help but wonder what he had received this time. As annoying and weird as this whole leaving gifts-thing was, there was a part of him that felt excited by the fact that someone would go to such lengths to get his attention. He hoped that Alois had taken the hint that he had intended with the note he had left him. It would be really awkward if the blonde had written a love confession or something similar on this new gift, especially since Finny already had seen it.

He would stretch as far as being friends with the older boy, but he would never let him get anywhere close to kissing him again. No, he had a beautiful girlfriend that he cared a lot about, and he would never trade that for a crazy guy in booty shorts.

Ciel grabbed Lizzy's hand, as if he was trying to convince himself that it was where he belonged. It was obvious that Alois was wishing for something more to come out of their relationship, but Ciel wasn't interested. It might be true that he found him attractive but that was it. He had Lizzy and he needed nothing more.

He squeezed Lizzy's hand and decided to concentrate on the movie but it was nearly impossible. He tried to suppress his feelings but no matter how he tried he couldn't help the excitement he felt. He was curious and eager to see what Alois had given him. He could expect something edible, that much was certain, but the note... Ciel could barely admit it to himself, but the fact that he squirmed in his seat every five minutes and that he barely had any grasp on the movie made him realize that he was worked up to quite an extent. All he wanted was to get home and see what the note would say.
