Chapter 2
Hero
Everything went to a standstill. Ciel was moving as fast as he could, trying to save the boy from his demise. What exactly was Alois feeling? Of course, the boy had his fair share of depression, though he was very good at hiding it. He didn't feel it anymore; however, all he felt was the revenge that we all knew he so very much longed for. As he ran to save the blond boy's life, Ciel couldn't help but slightly hesitate. Why was he going to save him? There was nothing good that came out of the brat. When it came to Alois Trancy, Ciel couldn't think of anything good that could come out of saving him. Alois was unexpected, meaning no one would know what he was to do next. If Ciel saved him now, would he allow Ciel to go free? Questions jumbled together as his steps slowed, hesitation showing as Alois fell backward so effortlessly.
Ciel couldn't believe it, actually. Undoubtedly, he knew that Alois was quite bipolar, and understood, not entirely, his frequent mood swings.
Time was becoming a merciless thing, ticking away seconds that really didn't matter. Once Ciel got to the balcony, he was surprised to find the boy hanging on for dear life. "Ciel! Don't you dare try to help me up!" Alois' words and his voice were so contradicted that it almost made the blue-haired boy laugh right then at that moment. "Why? Because you feel like you deserve death?! If that is the case, then why are you hanging on?! Drop yourself! See if I care!"
Just then, the blond glared at him and let go. Instantly, Ciel grabbed hold of the boy's hand, struggling to pull the older blond up. "I thought you wanted me to fall?! What are you bloody waiting for?! Do it!" Ciel only glared in response. "Just shut up and let me concentrate!" Ciel struggled and struggled, until he managed to pull the blond boy back up and onto his balcony.
Alois, stunned, stared at him and blinked back the tears that were forming in his eyes. "W-Why, Ciel…. Why would you save me?" Another bead to the string of questions directed at him. "Because… If I intend on killing you in the future, why would I allow you to end your own life now?" That was a lie of course. He only saved him because he felt that Alois did not deserve to die. It was simple, really. Deep down, underneath all that bratty, annoyingness laid a good person… Or at least that was how Ciel saw it. Alois could be sweet when he wanted to, and kind when he was up for it. But he could also be a depressed little fuck when he wanted to as well.
The blond stared for a while longer, before smiling softly. "Bull shit." He said before standing up. "I know you like me Ciel, don't you even try to deny it." Alois smirked, then shuffled over to his bed and climbed in. "Don't even think I'll leave you alone here." Ciel said, crossing his arms as the blush that crept up on him from before refused to leave his cheeks. "How absurd…" He shook his head.
"Oh, so you're going to sleep with me, Ciel-sy?" Ciel-sy was a nickname Alois had grown accustomed to calling him. Alois smirked. The blush on Ciel's face grew deeper and he gulped. "How could one be so vulgar...? You should watch that mouth of yours, Alois." Ciel seated himself on the edge of the bed gingerly, recoiling into the shyer boy that he hated showing in front of people. "Aww, aren't you a cutie, Ciel-sy. Well, I'm going to bed now." The skinny boy turned over and almost immediately he fell asleep.
