Greetings readers! This is my first fanfiction that I am posting, so any constructive criticism is greatly appreciated! I've had this idea for a while, and I have a lot of exposition to cover, so please, bear with me for the first chapter or so. Another note: Some characters will be OOC, and this is an AU. Also, I don't own Kuroshitsuji, at all. Ok, so, here we go! :D
He remembered it all very clearly. He remembered his parents. He remembered the little town in Vermont, and oh, how he loathed that little town, along with the horrible treatment he and his brother received from those horrible people. He remembered the stealing, money, food, anything he and his brother could take, just to live. He remembered the fire and devastation, and how it seemed to come out of nowhere. Most of all, he remembered the picture he wanted to forget the very most, his brothers limp and seemingly calm body that he held as he screamed up at the sky in grief.
When the police came to search for survivors, the young boy, aged only 12 at the time, was all they found. The boy was immediately relocated to an orphanage in upstate New York, and that's where he sits today, now aged 15 years, still wondering whether or not anyone will come and adopt him.
The boy's name is Alois Trancy, and he is getting really tired of living in this old, run down excuse for an orphanage.
He supposed the orphanage was better than living on the streets, but then again, at least his beloved brother, Luka, would be there if he were. Alois sighed. He missed Luka so much, he missed his family so much, and he just wanted everything to be normal again. If only it were that simple…
"DINNER!" A loud, feminine voice came, and Alois knew just who that was. Angela. Angela was one of the two people that ran the orphanage, along with her twin brother, Ash. Alois never really liked the two of them, and he could tell they didn't like him all that much, either. They were very, very, religious, and, well, Alois didn't really like that kind of a thing. Let alone the fact that all the young boys in the orphanage were practically forced to prayer sessions each day.
Alois left his dormitory room and walked down a long flight of stairs, which was slightly falling apart, (but everyone pretended not to notice that,) and plopped himself into one of the, chairs at the long table, where spoons and bowls had been previously set up. Angela came around with a basin of soup and a ladle before giving each boy a portion of soup and going to her spot at the head of the table and clinking her spoon against her glass.
"Let us all give thanks to the Lord that we have this mea-"
The doors burst open, and there, in white as usual, was Ash. He had "disgust" written all over his face as he apologized for the interruption.
"Alois Trancy. Come with me."
All eyes in the room turned to Alois as he stood up slowly, and walked towards Ash. Ash simply nodded as he led Alois out of the dining hall and into a room he had never been in before.
The room was decorated with light, happy decorations, with symbols of God and love, peace and compassion. Alois almost rolled his eyes at the room's extremely girly and happy appearance in comparison to the rest of the dark, rickety building. It was obvious that some great time had been put into making the room look welcoming and fun.
The fun, light room made a very shocking contrast to the people seated in the room. Two men, one with Golden eyes and spectacles, with a black and dark-grey striped long sleeved shirt, and the other with Red eyes and an all black shirt. Both were wearing dark colored skinny jeans.
Ash's frown deepened, and Alois got a slight idea as to what was going on. "Alois Trancy, meet Claude Faustus and Sebastian Michaelis." Ash said begrudgingly, pointing to each one as he introduced them.
Alois gave a cheeky smile. "Hey!"
The two men smiled slightly. Sebastian was the one to speak first. "Hello Alois." Claude nodded, as if saying hello.
Ash just stared at Sebastian and Claude as if they were from Mars or something. "These…two, will be your guardians from now on."
Alois could hardly believe his ears. "R-really?" Alois asked. The two men nodded.
Alois jumped into Sebastian and Claude's arms. "Thank you! Thank you! Oh my god, I can't believe it!"
As the three left the building, Alois turned to his new fathers. "Does this mean I get to go to a normal school? Do I have to go to those weird religion things anymore? What's my new house like?"
Sebastian and Claude smiled. They seemed just as happy as Alois was, and at a total loss for words. But eventually, Claude responded "Yes, you get to go to normal school." He adjusted his glasses before chuckling slightly at the second question. "And no, you definitely won't be going to any more religious services. As far as the house, well, you'll have to see."
The three arrived at a medium-sized house, and Alois immediately demanded to see his room. It was a large room, a twin sized bed, night table, the usual things you would find. It hadn't been decorated very much, but it was apparent that Sebastian and Claude had a liking for darker colors.
Alois danced around his room, giggling like a total maniac. He paused to kick, throw his leg into the air, and loudly declare "Ole!" before breaking out into hysterical giggles again.
"Ok, Alois, now get some sleep." He heard Claude say. "School starts tomorrow, keep that in mind." Claude turned out the light. "Good Night."
Alois stopped dancing. "Fine…fine…" He sighed. It was amazing how quickly his life had changed, in just one day. He smiled as he thought of happy things, and let himself drift until he eventually fell asleep.
So that's the first chapter. I really hope you enjoyed! Trust me, once the introduction is out of the way it will get MUCH better! Thank you so much for reading and remember to R&R!
