As the sun rises...

[Nakai Beritu]

The night had past silently and without a word they had both fallen asleep. And soon came the morning, though long before dawn, those dark blue eyes opened and the tall man started to stir. He felt that small weight atop him,,nknowing very well who it was and why it was ther eub the did not really feel like staying in the room for much longer. Once more he had given himself to a stranger though this time it had been out of his own free will. He just was not sure of why he had done it, but at least this time they had not gone too far, and he just had to comfort himself by whispering softly to himself that the situation was not yet desperate and that he still controlled things at least partly.

Berith sighed softly and he slipped off the bed before placing the sheets over the other man. It was not as warm as his large body but it certainly would hold him up for a while. He needed to take some fresh air, he needed to think of something else. He just had had a very weird and long day, but he did not know what to make of that night spent at the other man's home.

Before Ciel woke up, he grabbed all his things and he dressed up rather quickly. He was in a part of town that he did not know really well, but he was juts needing to get away from that uptight society which truly was not his. He went to the living room and grabbed a pen and a paper so that he could leave a note to the other man.

I had some urgent buisness to attend to. Call Takehiro today, give me news tonight. I'll be home. Just in case you don't know it, here's my phone number, have a good day. Nakai Berith.

He had scribbled his phone nbumber at the bottom of the sheet and he left it on the table in the living room before finally slipping out and going back to wher ehe belonged.

[Ciel De El Aram]

Ciel didn't like waking up alone... For some reason it really hit hard just how lonely his life could be without someone that cared about him... with the absence of his brother, it left him not even sure what to do with his life... Sometimes it was the time when he just took a moment ot reflect on how far they had come.

Settling his eyes close he did ring the doctor and his Master and spent most of the day cleaning the entire mess up even having to make a trip up to see his master and getting back by late evening.

Standing on the doorstep, he blinked up slightly at the place, knowing he would not play lets sneak in a window. Knocking softly on hte door, he did hope he would get an answer.

[Nakai Beritu]

Takehiro was rather surprised to hear about this young man that he only had met the night before but he was mroe than happy to answer his questiona dn he pondered for a moment about hiring him. It would be a rather complicated process since Ciel was already hired by another family, but he was ready to go through that process. He had left him hanging for more than half the day because he had called Berith to get some update on how things were with that man and if it was a good move to just hire him like that.

Berith could not give information about that, so Takehiro finally ended up giving an appointement to the smaller man for an interview. It was probably the first step to a really good job, and the boss seeme dlike a really nice guy!

Either way, Berith had gone out for the day. He had stayed in his little shop for most of the days for he had orders to finish and then he just had to meet with Cain. They ghad thigns to discuss about the previous evening and whatever he had had to cancel. They had spoke for a while, almost silently, standing on top of a building, the same building on which Berith had been attacked a few days back, and then he had gone back home, expecting a phone call.

Adn then it rang at the door. Well, not what he had expected but whatever. He was wearing dark leather pants and long black leather and vinyl boots, and he had one of those sleeveless shirts of his. His hair was even pulled back in a tiny, but really cute, ponytail. He had was nto quite expecting any visit.

"Hello?" He slowly opened the door, blue eyes scanning Ciel for a moment.

[Ciel De El Aram]

"Hi." Ciel gave him a big smile, though he knew his presence was not exactly expected, "Just… wanted to see you were alright." He had been a little worried when it was just a note left when he had awoken that morning and it had made him a little hesitant about things. "Sorry if I interrupted something."

Turning his head upwards to gaze at the other man, he was hoping that everything would be fine between them because it was rather a confusing situation right then and he didn't know how to approach it. His hands rested behind his back, his simple leather shirt and pants made him look rather edible. Though his brown hair was falling straight across his face.

[Nakai Beritu]

"...It's not like I was doing anything special..."

The taller man shrgged absently and he let the boy in the house. He would not let him in his room again because that was a place he did not like to have people. Well, unless it was just to play but that was another story. For the moment, his room was still his own private sanctuary and that meant that Ciel did not have access to it yet.

He closed the door behind the other man and he locked it before leading the way toward the living room. He had been working it seemed because there was a shirt sprawled on the table but it was not quite assembled yet, and the fur trim was lying somewhere further down. The TV was opened but it was a child's movie playing... right.

"...I don't se why you were worried. I was working today, that's all."

[Ciel De El Aram]

Nodding slightly, he looked a little embarrassed about that, he really had wanted to just see the other man, he knew it was probably not the best idea but he liked being around the other man a lot. Turning his head slightly he didn't know what to make of everything because it was really hard to figure out what to do. Resting his head slightly on the arm, he sat down on the couch, gazing up at the other man, before giving him a slightly shy smile.

"I'm still uncertain what is going to happen between us. That is why… I'm a little worried." He was trying to explain his thoughts though simply because a few of them were floating around his head and not exactly behaving.

[Nakai Beritu]

Berith sat down on his chair and he grabbed the pieces of the black leather shirt before starting to work on it again. He did not mind thje company, it was not like it was the first time that he was working with someone else in the room. He simply started to sew the pieces together without really looking at what he was doing it really was all too natural to him.

"...Now you're the one acting like a girl..."

It was soft and teasing but at least he smiled softly. He leaned back in his chair and worked out the leather. It was impressive to see how agile those large fingers were. You would imagine a guy like that to be a smith if anything, but not a fine leatherworker.

[Ciel De El Aram]

"Now I can really see why your hands are so good." He mused lightly, chuckling softly as he watched, his chin resting over the arm of the chair and looking rather adorable in his own way and just wanted to stay right there for a little longer. "Yeah… I know, sometimes I worry too much."

He knew that sometimes he did act like a girl, but you could understand why he worried a bit about this kind of situation because it was so important to him to be with this man that he didn't want to ruin it. Turning his head up slightly he smiled, "Can I make you dinner at least?" With whatever was in the kitchen, he was rather good with making something really good out of the simplest things and usually his herbs were very useful as spices with the food. But only to make it taste better^^.

[Nakai Beritu]

"...There's nothing in the fridge... really..." Berith was a horrible cook. All he kept in the fridge was cheese, beer and sometimes bread. Most of the food was frozen meal which were already prepared and so he did not have to worry too much about it, or they were canned things, like beans, or soup.

"...There's powdered chicken cream in there somewhere... you can go check if you want but I was going to order pizza." That was his other solution. Usually when he just had had a good income, he would order pizza and drink some alcohol. It made it feel at least a little less lonely.

"..up to you.. I got to finish this for now, though.." He shrugged and he grabbed some more thread to piece things together.

[Ciel De El Aram]

"I'll go see what's out there." Smiling softly, he would rather not have pizza, muttering softly to himself, he poked his head back out the doorway, "You really have nothing in here." Sighing softly, it rather annoyed him about that. Reminding him next time he made dinner to bring everything with him!

Crossing his arms he sighed and ordered pizza… down right annoyed with it but having to give in to what the other man would have usually done, it was only a few minutes but it was Ciel who paid for it anyway since it was him ordering after asking what type the other man liked.

[Nakai Beritu]

Berith shrugged. He did not really care for the company but he did not want to hear bitching or complaining about his lifestyle. "I can't cook worth a damn. End of the story. If you're not happy, you can go eat elsewhere."

It was obvious that the other manw as annoyed, but it was not like he was really invited there anyways!! He had let him in yes, but he had not really asked for him to come either. That was what he usually did, or he unfroze something from the freezer but that was about it. He did not do cooking and so why should he keep ingredients that would go to waste anyways?

He frowned lightly, annoyed himself now, and he cursed loudly, in german, as he hurt himself with the needle.

[Ciel De El Aram]

Wincing slightly, he wanted to apologise and did softly, before he reached out for the injured finger and brought it to his lips. Kissing it gently and wanting to make the other man feel better.

Turning his head slightly, he gave him a sheepish smile, sometimes he didn't know what to do and well right now was one of those times as he pretty much got stuck into the garlic bread.

He loved the stuff and thus wanted to just about eat all of it... He was a little bit of a strange person.

[Nakai Beritu]

Berith frowned very deeply and pulled his hand away. He just sighed softly and he sucked on his finger very softly, he was used to hurting himself like that and he just looked away. He didn't feel like being annoyed and all in all he did not feel like company all that much. He had wanted to finish his work and then go to bed because he had had a really long day but it seemed that thigns were not going to happen that way.

He threw the shirt away, slightly angry and he ate silently, picking up a beer and he chugged it quietly. He was eating a lot still and he just did not feel like trying to make any form of conversation.

[Ciel De El Aram]

"Sorry." He stood up after he had finished, he knew he had completely pissed off the other man and rather screwed up the entire evening utterly. "I really am."

Brushing his hair back from his face, he knew he was a pain sometimes, it came with the territory. Turning his head away, he cleaning up after they were finished eating.

He didn't want to drink, he couldn't hold alcohol well what so ever.

[Nakai Beritu]

The tall man sighed deeply and he shoved his plate away once he was done eating. He did not know what to say and he did not really feel like lookin at Ciel so he turned around to watch his movie. At least that was something that he coudl do without much thought.

"...Look... if you're not happy with the way I live, this isn't my problem, okay? It's not like we're really together and it's not like you have to care about the lack of food I got.. or... anything else for that matter."

He shrugged some and ht leaned his forehead against his knees. It was his turn to act a little bit girlish but that was normal for him! "...I... just didn't really expect you, and now you're annoyed... anyways..."
