Tug o' War...
Narrator's POV
A few weeks passed at Weston College and the end of summer gave away to the beginning of autumn.
To the average person, nothing seemed off about this typical day.
But three people within Scarlet Fox dorm knew otherwise.
There was practically a love triangle going on, but instead of fighting over a lover, they were fighting over a position.
And Maurice Cole would do anything to take the title of being Redmond's fag from Perseus Crevan.
After all, Edgar was graduating this year and Maurice wanted the position of prefect.
What he did not know was that Perseus had no interest in being prefect, he was not even going to be here all year.
When everyone left for winter break, the Crevan Twins would not be returning for the spring semester.
Ciel absolutely hated being in this public school, he wanted to go back to the music hall and be worshipped again.
He had wanted to attend this school so badly in the beginning so he could be like father, but this was not enjoyable at all.
If he had it his way, he would have already gone back by now but he did not want to stop his precious Astre from being here.
So he was going to hold out until winter break and then call it quits.
***
One afternoon after classes, Ciel went into his dorm room and immediately gagged.
Something smelled rotten in here.
Pinching his nose, he looked around his small bedroom for the source.
He found a dead rat under his pillow, its body cut open in a clear threat.
Growling a bit, Ciel slipped down the hall to Maurice Cole's room and found it empty.
He smooshed the dead creature —so ling decomposed that it was practically jelly-like— into the bristles of his hair brush.
Not satisfied with just that, he went to Swan Gazebo and told Edgar catch him a snake.
Once he had the reptile, the undead boy had the older teen put it in Maurice's bed.
An hour later, the entire dorm heard Maurice's scream.
***
At breakfast the following morning, everyone was talking about how Maurice Cole had gotten but by a snake in his own room.
Luckily, the person in the room across the hall from him had found him and taken him to the nurse before the venom killed him.
Unfortunately for the head of house, he had to catch the rouge snake and take it back to the forest.
***
Weston College was so weird on the weekends when there was no class.
It was like living in a all male village.
The cricket fields were busy with the houses getting ready for the season about to start, the art classroom were busy with Violet House students and the library was packed with Sapphire Owl students.
Even outside those places, students were talking and lounging about.
But, tel students were still in bed.
Not their own beds, mind you, but in a teacher's.
The headmaster's quarters was just as weird as his office.
It was higher up in the clock than the office, the swinging pendulum practically diving the room in two.
Ciel was almost entranced by it as he laid in the headmaster's bed hooked up to the blood transfusion machine.
The undead boy pouted and looked to his left where Astre slept cuddling a Bitter Rabbit —Blavat had sent it in the mail for Astre to test it and give approval so production could begin.
Astre usually slept while they got their transfusions done, they tired his sickly self so much.
Letting his beloved twin rest, Ciel looked at the only other person in the room: the headmaster, Undertaker.
The real headmaster had gone a trip around the world without telling anyone, allowing Undertwker to slip into his identity whilst the twins attended Weston.
The reaper did not like to be far from his precious grandsons, they needed him too much for him to be far away.
With how active the were here, their blood might need frequent replacing via random transfusions.
Besides, this position also allowed him to keep tabs on one of his other grandchildren as well: Edward.
Edward had grown so much since he had last seen him, he was nearly a grown man now.
It was such a shame he had to be demoted from prefect's fag so the twins could be fags themselves; he hated having to prioritize his twin grandsons over the rest of his grandchildren.
But it had to be done for now.
He then heard someone say "Grandfather", taking him out of his thoughts.
A smile graced the white haired man's face as he looked to the twins, they had started recently calling him that and it made him so happy that they were finally comfortable enough with him to do so.
"Yes, little lord?" Undertaker asked
Ciel huffed, "I am upset."
"Why?" The older man asked, concerned
"Maurice Cole."
"What about him?"
"He is trying to take my position away from me and it is getting annoying!" Ciel whined
"I see. What have you done to him in return?"
"I put a snake in his bed and it bit him. Unfortunately he got to the nurse in time."
"Hmmm, well, you need to take away what matters to him most."
"What would that be?"
"Since I have never interacted with him, I do not know. But, I do know something rather unusual about him."
"What?"
"Well, one of the assistant headmaster's jobs is to go through all packages the student's receive and Agares makes a list of anything out of the ordinary." Undertaker explained, opening a drawer and pulling out a sheet of paper, "And every month on the second —on the dot— Cole receives a package from Funtom."
"So what? He likes sweets."
"His package does not just contain confections, it is mostly cosmetics."
Ciel's blue eyes widened as he realized what his grandfather was implying, "His looks are not natural, his title of 'most beautiful in school' is a lie!"
Undertaker nodded, "Now how can you prove that?"
"Photographs! I need pictures of the makeup box next time he gets a shipment and one of him without makeup!" Ciel exclaimed
The reaper told him to calm down, his body might reject the blood if he got too excited while connected to the machine.
Ciel did as told but his smile never left his face...
