Dramatics (Black Butler Actor AU)

Chapter 9

Those wretched stairs! If you ever get a job that pays really good you are going to buy this place a lift! It isn't easy walking up this amount of steps. Once you reach the top you wait for Ciel to unlock the door as he does to take large gulps of air. Once he has finished fumbling with his keys you walk into your deserted apartment. It is quiet an eerie kind of quietness, the kind that makes you look back and hope nothing is there. You look back feeling as though someone is watching you, sure enough Ciel is. You breathe out a sigh of relief, nothing too frightening.

"Ciel can I ask you something?"

"You just did," Ciel points out. You roll your eyes and decide to ask anyway.

"Why did you decide to come home early today?" Describing this place as home, is strange. It is technically your home but you've only been here less than two weeks.

"I, erm... had a disagreement with Alois," he says looking at his shoes.

"Oh what about this time?"

Ciel's one visible eye widens a little bit. He coughs and he looks normal again.

"Stocks," he says in that business like manor he has.

"Ugh, that boring, why would you bother to fight about that?"

"That is what Alois was saying, that stocks are boring and I continued to tell him they are fascinating and they decide our economic future," Ciel say finishing off his short speech with a small cough.

"Um...great? Well before we move onto the great topic of how much the pound is worth compared to the euro, I have to go edit the stuff I filmed today," you say holding up the camera your produce from you jacket's pocket.

You head to your room and open up your laptop, yours is closer today. You open up your software. You don't have a lot of footage so you just crop out small slivers here and there, add effects, background music and allywhoop! Your done. You feel your phone buzz.

FINNYISKAWAII: yo where u @ homie?

You look at the name Finny chose for himself a while back when you guys first met. When you guys started talking some random guy texted you Yo where u @ homie? and ever since it has been your way of saying hello.

You tell Finny that you are at home working on stuff and you don't hear anymore from him.

You decide to go on YouTube and see what is happening in this neck of the woods. Nothing much, you decide to watch a video from some guy complaining about weeaboos. Half way through the video Ciel comes into your room with a cup of what you presume is tea. You smile at him and accept the mug. Ciel then sits beside you. You don't mind the company.

Once the video ends new smaller squares take its place. You mentally curse, one of the video is a Sebastian x Ciel AMV. You follow one link on Twitter. You try and click on another video before Ciel notices. You feel him stiffen beside you. Too late.

"That is a ship?!" he exclaims. Obviously he isn't in contact with the Black Butler fandom. You think it best not to tell him how big of a ship it is.

"Ciel, in your opinion, what are the ships in Black Butler?" you say trying to gauge his innocence level.

"Well there is Lizzie and me," you scoff at his words. You need to get this guy a Tumblr, seriously barely anyone ships that.

"And I suppose Grell and Sebastian is another." Okay so he isn't totally clueless.

"What ships, in your opinion Y/N are the ships in Black Butler?" Ciel asks you. Should you tell him honestly?

"I think everything is a ship," you say.

"Even... Finny and Sebastian?" he says picking two random characters off the top of his head.

"I'm sure it has shipers," you say and hand your laptop to Ciel, implying he chose the next video.

Ciel closes the YouTube tab and opens Netflix, he chooses some crime film and you guys begin watching.
