So I had told myself that I wouldn't start another fanfic till my other story Awakening was complete, but it seems my muses have other plans for me. This will be my first Kuroshitsuji fanfic so I apologize in advance for any possible OOCness.

Now, the inspiration for this piece of work? Well it came to me when I found out that one of my all time favorite seiyuus Mizuki Nana is the seiyuu for Alois. I love her and she voice acted one of my favorite female characters Hoshina Utau. Plus I love the song Meikyuu Butterfly. To sum it all up the chorus made me think of Ciel and Alois for some reason when I recently listened to it. So alas Meikyuu Butterfly became the theme for this story. I'll shut up now and move on.

Disclaimer: I don't own Kuroshitsuji or its characters they are property of Yana Toboso. I also don't own Meikyuu Butterfly that is owned by the amazing Mizuki Nana.

"Ciel, Ciel! Look at this!"

Beautiful midnight blue eyes looked up from the book they were just gazing over to meet a pair of crystal blue ones and pretty blonde hair. The blue haired boy followed the crystal blue eyes gaze down to a pair of closed hands in front of him.

"What disgusting thing have you dug up this time?" the boy asked in a bored tone.

His companion grinned and opened his hands a little to reveal a beautiful butterfly. Its wings were a rare dark blue and black with whimsical designs on it. Midnight blue eyes widened slightly entranced briefly by the beauty of the creature while crystal blue ones lit up with delight at having impressed his usually hard to please friend.

"Not as disgusting as you thought it was going to be is it?" the other boy asked in a teasing tone. Ciel scoffed and went back to reading his book mumbling under his breath about it still being an insect there for still being slightly disgusting.

The slightly older blonde sat down next to the boy holding onto the butterfly but being careful not to injure it.

"You know what?"

"No I don't know what" the blonde giggled at his annoyed tone.

"I think Ciel's like a butterfly" Ciel again scoffed at the other's ludicrous statement.

"Please Alois, if anything you're more akin to a butterfly with how flighty you are at times." Alois smiled not denying the others statement about his personality.

"Butterflies are beautiful and mysterious others stare in awe of them when they fly by because of their elegance. Yet they're so very fragile. A simple squeeze of the hand while holding them" the crystal eyed boy squeezed his hands together effectively killing the very creature he spoke of "extinguishes that beauty with ease."

Ciel looked at the other unfazed by his theories and his actions. He merely looked at the smashed remains of the butterfly in Alois' hands. The blond stared down at his hands eyes blank.

"Once it's dead it can't come back" he whispered. Suddenly Alois jumped up a happy smile back on his face he turned to Ciel and offered him his hand.

"Come Ciel I'm hungry" Ciel stared at his hand and turned away.

"I'm taking a hand covered in insect remains" he said. Alois looked at his hands having forgotten all about the dead butterfly and wiped them off on his jeans to which Ciel remarked "disgusting".

"Now come on I'm starving and you're holding up progress" he said grabbing onto the smaller boy's arm and dragging him off.

Yes, so very much like butterflies they both were.

So what do you think?

This is probably the shortest thing I've written but that's why it's a prologue. I'll work on getting the first official chapter up soon, but it'll be after chapter 11 of Awakening. Until then I must leave you.
