Ciel was walking around the manor, bored as most of the time. His father was always working, so he could never play chess with him like they used to, and his mother was ill. Servants were busy too; they were doing various chores and some of them nursed Rachel. So he decided to leave the manor for a bit, maybe he'll find someone to be with not including his parents and servants. He walked to the study, where his father was working. "Father, I want to go to the city. May I?" He asked politely, looking at Vincent calmly. He knew that his father would trust him to go alone, but he didn't know if he'll let him. Maybe Vincent finally found some work for him.
Vincent raised his head when he heard Ciel and smiled slightly. ''You want to go out again? Are you getting bored here?'' He asked, amused. ''I know son, this must be quite boring for a boy of your age but work needs to be done and your mother is stuck in bed, I really wish I could spend more time with you but I have obligations.'' He sighed softly, getting up for a moment and patted Ciel's hair. ''Okay, you can go out if you want. Just be careful and come back for supper.'' He replied gently before sitting back at his desk.
Ciel nodded. "Of course I'm getting bored." He sighed. "I understand, father. I know that you need to work and I promise I will help you once I grow up." He smiled slightly at the man, happy that Vincent patted his head. "Alright, I promise I'll be back. It's not like someone will kidnap me." He chuckled lightly and left the room. He quickly put on his coat, leaving the manor and going to the city. The ride in the carriage was boring, but when he got out, he immediately got some plans. He went to the sweet shop and bought some candies before going to the street to find something to do.
A ball stopped at Ciel's feet and a blonde boy came running. ''Oh sorry sir...'' He was around Ciel's age tugged on the boy's coat a bit. ''Please...do you mind giving us some?'' He asked, looking down at the candies. He saw how Ciel was dressed and smiled. ''You're a noble, It's easy to tell.'' He said a bit envious. ''You probably don't want to waste your time with us but you can play as well if you want, someone is missing in our team.'' He smiled, walking to the others. ''We have a new member in our group so we're equal now. Do you know football?'' He asked, turning to Ciel.
Ciel looked down at the ball and leaned down, picking it up before handing it to the boy that ran over. "Oh, candies? Sure." He smiled slightly and took some out, giving them to the boy. "I would love to play with you! And I don't mind being with someone like you, it just doesn't matter to me." He followed the male and met the other boys. "Um.. No." He said, embarrassed. "I spent all of my childhood inside, since I have problems with my health. But can you teach me? I would love to learn how to play it." He replied with a small smile.
''It must be boring to always stay Inside but It's okay, I'll teach you. I'm Alois by the way.'' He replied with a wide smile. ''You just have to kick the ball when I give it to you. You can't use your hands, only your feet and we have to kick the ball in their goal.'' He explained, pointing at the other team. ''Let's try it now.'' They did some spparing at first to let Ciel get use to it and he grinned. ''That's it, you got it! Now the real match begins!'' They played for awhile and Alois accidently kicked the ball in Ciel's back, making him fall in the mud. ''I'm sorry! I ruined your clothes.''
"Nice to meet you Alois, I'm Ciel." He smiled back. "Oh.. I see. It's pretty weird, but I think I'll manage to play this game." He nodded and practiced, playing with the boys. "Oh, okay!" He really got into the game, even though he wasn't used to moving so much. He always did something that was calm, like drawing or playing a violin. He felt the ball hit his back and he fell down in the mud. He stood up slowly, brushing off his face and hands. "It's okay, Alois. It doesn't really matter, let's just continue playing." He smiled. "Expensive clothes don't matter to me, you can take them for all I care."
'' I'm glad that you're not mad.'' He replied happily, letting Ciel kick the ball again. The blonde widened his eyes when he heard a cannonball noise and he looked at the the top of a building, seeing it falling down near them and people suddenly started running around in panic. ''Pirates! Come Ciel or someone will knock you out in the crowd!'' He grabbed the boy's hand and ran away with his other friends. He knew a hiding place where they would be safe until the pirates would leave and entered an abandon building. He lifted a trap on the floor and helped Ciel to get under it. He closed it once they were all in and sat on the cold floor, rubbing his head. '' They really don't care...there are pirates hanging all around the city but they always keep coming back for more.'' He sighed tiredly, looking up. ''Is everyone alright?''
