"Please, sit. You must be exhausted after all that running" gestured the blond cordially.

At that moment, Ciel came across with a tidy round table with two white chairs in perfect states; despite the fact that these objects were in such dreadful place.

"Hope you don't mind your tea without sugar, truth is…I ate it all days ago" replied the blond sheepishly while scratching his head with one hand pouring tea with the other.

Once again, Ciel, who was now sitting at the table, didn't comprehend what was happening. Hours before, he was trying to survive in a dangerous environment filled with monsters. But now he was having a quiet tea party with a strange human teen, or so he thought was, that was oddly humble towards him.

"Here, you go" said the blond happily as he handed the cup, startling Ciel a bit since he wasn't paying attention to his surroundings.

"Th-thanks" stuttered the young Phantomhive surprised as he grabbed the cup from the blond's hand.

After he shyly accepted his offer, the blond smiled warmly at him and quickly sat in front of him. He couldn't help it, he was just too anxious and joyful that he found someone he could relate to after so long.

"To be honest, I'm quite shocked to see a human here. Lately, there have been only chains wandering around and killing themselves" explained the blond as Ciel just mindlessly listened him while watching the curious brown liquid inside his cup. Was it really tea?

"Chains?" he asked both curious and confused.

"The monsters you saw. Sinner beings destined to live in complete loneliness for the rest of their lives" answered the blond.

"I see…" muttered the raven haired boy sadly as he looked the awfully quiet creepy dark environment around them.

"In other words, this is hell" he pointed out.

"Hell?" repeated the blond confused, yet he thought about it for a couple of seconds.

"I guess you could say that, though the correct name will be the Abyss" corrected him the blond, but Ciel was too mournful to even pay attention to him.

Despite his large humility, the emerald eyed teen wasn't that naïve or fool to not understand what was happening. He knew that, right now, Ciel was desperately having an inner fight with his feelings and common sense in order to clearly understand what was happening. But most of all: why this happened to him.

A sympathetic feeling quickly born in the blond's heart…

"H-hey…" called the blond and Ciel, hastily, looked at him. "I don't like to pry but, can you tell me why you were casted here?" he asked a little nervous since he didn't want to make his new friend uncomfortable.

At first, the young Phantomhive didn't quite follow him. Since when they became such great friends that now he was going to be that confident to tell the blond about his personal life? That was just nuts. However, what could he lose now? Literally, Ciel was going to spend the rest of his life in an unreachable place for normal human beings.

"Sigh, even I wish to know. Everything happened so fast…" he told him as he looked away, hoping that his reply would ease the blond's curiosity.

"You can tell me" he simply answered.

Surprised by his answer, Ciel quickly looked at the smiling teen with widened eyes. Again, why was he so humble and interested in him? Was he trying to take advantage of him? Or was he another wandering being that suffered his same bad luck? Either way, the blond clearly lied about not wanting to pry.

"Besides, it's not like you have errands to do" joked the emerald eyed teen.

"Heh, can't argue with that" replied Ciel with a small smile. He couldn't help it, he just found this entire situation ironically enough to be laughable.


So far so good, let's see how this goes :D
