The Crowned Prince of Hell

Chapter 6

Sebastian saw Ciel as soon as the boy entered the coffee shop, he was wearing black skinny jeans and a blue button up shirt, on top of it he was wearing a blue coat. His left side of his hair was styled back only leaving the right side of his bangs covering almost entirely Ciel's black eyepatch. Sebastian waved at Ciel as he walked towards the booth.

"Hey." Sebastian said as Ciel sat down.

"Hey." Ciel answered back.

"I like your hair." Sebastian said in an attempt to get rid of the awkward silence. Ciel didn't answer, Sebastian wasn't sure if he had even heard him, he could tell something was bothering Ciel.Was it about the fight he had with his mother?

"So, what happened with your mother?" Sebastian asked, Ciel lifted his head towards Sebastian.

"We got in a fight" Ciel mumbled, he didn't want to tell Sebastian about his problems but he need to talk about it to someone and Alois wasn't available right now and there was something about Sebastian that told him he could trust him. "I hate her, she is always trying to change who I am, why can't she just accept me?" Ciel spat angrily, letting his emotions get to him. Sebastian looked at him with a questioning look, not really understanding what Ciel was talking about. Ciel sighed and decided to explain everything from the beginning to the crimson eyed man. But first he would need a drink, his throat felt dry. He gave a sign to the waiter who immediately came.

"I would like to have a piece of the Forêt Noire and a cup of Earl Grey please" Ciel said as he quickly took a glance at the menu in front of him

"Very well, anything for you sir?" The waiter asked to Sebastian who nodded before answering. "I'd like a cup of Darjeeling please."

"Very well, I'll be back shortly with your orders" the waiter said before leaving.

Ciel continued with his story, he told Sebastian about how he had told his parents he was gay last year, how his father had accepted it, his aunt Ann had accepted it as well but his mother insisted on taking it as a joke. He told him how his mother and his Aunt Francis made a drunken pact when he and his cousin were little to marry them once they would be 18, and how they still believed it was a good idea, he had told Sebastian how he cared about his cousin Elizabeth but how it irritated him to know she believed the lie that they would one day get married and how it annoyed him that she couldn't get it through her head that he hated being touched. As he finished his story the waiter came back with their orders.

"It must be hard what you are going through, but I'm sure that if you give your mother more time she will eventually accept you, I'm sorry if I can't give you very good advice on mothers, I've never known my mother so I don't really know what it feels like to have one." Sebastian said

"I'm so sorry" Ciel said.

"It's okay, I don't really mind" Sebastian answered.

"Why do you hate being touched?, I remember you also mentioned it last time."

"I-I" Ciel began but couldn't get any words out of his mouth, he was just getting to know Sebastian, he wasn't ready to tell him about that part of his life. As Sebastian saw Ciel's discomfort he said "You don't need to tell me about it if it makes you uncomfortable"

"Thanks" Ciel said as he sighed relieved.

They spend a few hours talking until it began to get dark outside.

"You should go home Ciel, your mother must be worried" Sebastian said

"I don't want to go home tonight, I'm going to call Alois to see if he got back from his date to ask him if I could stay with him." Ciel said as he excused himself from the table to make the phone call.

"Hello, Ciel?" Alois spoke

"Alois, are you back from your date yet?" He asked

"Yeah, Claude just dropped me off a few minutes ago, why?"

"Can I stay at your house tonight? I got in a fight with my mom." He explained

"Sure."

"Thanks, I'll be at your house in half and hour" Ciel said as he hung up.

"Alois says I can spend the night at his place" Ciel informed Sebastian as he sat back down.

"Listen" Sebastian began "I had a nice time today, and I would love to take you out on a date." He said

Ciel's cheeks heat up "A-A date?"

"Yeah, but if you are not interested, it's okay I would understand." Sebastian said, looking at his gloved hands.

"No, that's not it, it's just this is all very sudden, we've only talked twice since we met." Ciel said

"But isn't that the sole purpose of a date? To get to know each other better?" Sebastian asked with a smirk.

"I-I guess." Ciel said

"Then, would you like to go on a date next Saturday?" Sebastian asked again

"I can't next Saturday" Ciel said "It's my weekend at my Dad's but we could go on a date on Friday, you could pick me up from school and then drop me off at my Dad's?" Ciel suggested

"Sure, that sounds perfect" Sebastian said with a smile.

After what felt to both of them like 5 minutes but was in fact half and hour, it was already time for Ciel to go, so Sebastian accompanied him to his car.

"So, see you on Friday, bye Ciel" Sebastian said

"Bye Sebastian." Ciel answered as he got in his car and left.

A few minutes later he arrived at the Trancy manor. He texted Alois to tell him he had arrived. His friend got out and made Ciel come inside.

"Father, my friend Ciel is going to spend the night" Alois said as they passed by the living room where an old man was sitting in the sofa, reading a book.

"Evening Mr.Trancy, Thank you for having me" Ciel said politely. The old man only hummed in response. The two boys quickly went up to Alois's room.

"So, what happened?" Alois asked as he sat down on his bed, Ciel sat next to him as he explained how they got in a fight.

"I seriously can't believe she said that, I get why you ran away, but if that was like 5 hours ago, where were you all this time?" Alois asked

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, Sebastian texted me while I was in my family reunion, we were talking when I got in the fight with my mom and when I walked away I didn't know where to go so I asked him to meet me at a coffee shop and we've been there until a few minutes ago."

"I knew it, I knew you were interested in Sebastian, ohh I'm so happy for you Ciel" Alois said as he clapped his hands in joy.

"I-I am not interested in him, he is merely a friend." Ciel said as he blushed

"Yeah? Then why are you blushing?" Alois asked with a chuckle

"I'm not blushing." Ciel said. "Could I take a bath?" He added

"Sure, there is the bathroom, take as long as you need " he pointed at a door next to his closet, where he quickly took out a black shirt and some sweat pants and handed them to Ciel who thanked him and went in the bathroom.

He let the water run as he was undressing himself, he then took his eyepatch off and went into the bathtub. He stayed in there an hour before changing into the clothes that Alois had given him, arranged his hair so it would cover his right eye, and went back to the bedroom.

"Did you enjoyed your bath?" Alois asked, Ciel nodded. He saw that Alois had changed too, he was wearing some shorts with a white t-shirt.

"You don't mind if we sleep in the same bed do you?" He asked

"No, I don't mind" Ciel said as he put his clothes, along with his eyepatch on the floor next to the bed, before climbing in the bed next to Alois.

Alois turned off the light.

"Good Night Ciel" he whispered

"Good Night Alois" Ciel whispered back.
