Alois' nightmare!

Dedicated to Zombie-unicorn! This is Alois' nightmare and how Ciel reacts, also random Grell appearance!

Alois contemplated what Ciel had said to him before he left after spending the night.

'You can tell me anything.' He could tell him his nightmare, but it was just so embarrassing! Though, he could confide in his love his little secret, Ciel had confided in him his past. So what did it matter? Alois decided to go before he lost confidence, and another restless night.

As he neared the Phantomhive manor, his stomach twisted onto many different knots. Could he tell him? It'd be one heck of a conversation, considering it was tied into his past. He tried hard not to burst into tears in front of Claude as they pulled in front of the manor.

Ciel, who had been staring out his study window, had seen the Trancy and walked(ran) out to greet the blond haired boy.

" Alois!" Ciel greeted, placing a chaste kiss on his lips. Upon seeing his boyfriend's distressed face, he quickly made a plan. " Alois? Would you like to go shopping with me? Since it is so close to winter, I thought it might be a good idea to see what you might like." Alois looked slightly surprised and answered,

" Sure. I'll tell Claude that he may stay here."

" I will do the same thing with Sebastian."

After their butlers were dismissed, they rode out to London. All the while Alois was sitting on Ciel's lap. " Would you like to tell me whats wrong?" Ciel whispered into Alois' ear.

" When we are at your manor."

"Alright." Ciel didn't push, he knew the blond would tell in his own time, though he did want Alois to start saying home, instead of 'your manor.' " It is safe to call my home yours, you know." Alois didn't get to respond as the carriage came to a stop. Ciel stepped out of the carriage and out stretched his hand for Alois to take it.

After three shops , two stands, and one restaurant, Ciel was worried about his dear Alois. " Why don't we stop at another shop then head home, alright?" Alois just nodded.

They walked down the street and into the Holiday shop. (Just made that up! Don't get your undies in a twist!) Ciel pulled Alois into a deep aisle in the back of the store. " Are you going to tell me whats wrong, or not?" Ciel questioned.

" Not in public." Alois weakly answered. Ciel, realizing that it was no use in getting it out of him now, decided to leave him be.

"Alright." Ciel pressed his lips to the blond's a circled his arms around Alois' waist.

Grell, who had been sent by Sebastian,( To leave him alone.) Swooned and fell out of his hiding spot.

" So..hot.." Both boy looked over and almost fell over laughing at the bleeding redhead.

" Grell! What are you doing here?" Ciel demanded.

" Sent by..Sebby!" He choked.

"Well Grell you can leave, we were just going to finish here and go home." Alois chimed in. Ciel nodded and walked away, taking Alois with him. Grell, happy to see his Sebby again, skipped off.

" That's something I never want to do again. Let's just go home and come again later." Alois nodded his head. Though he was regretting having to tell Ciel what was wrong with him.

Once they were home, Ciel pulled Alois into his library and drew the curtains. " That will give us a little more privacy."

" Well, I, uh-" Ciel pulled Alois into his lap and embraced Alois.

" Take your time, I'm in no rush." Ciel smiled sweetly and pulled on the strings that covered his contract.

" Well, it's about the dream I've been having. It's tied.. to..my.. past." Silent tears fell from his eyes and he willed himself to continue.

"As a young boy, I was taken in with a few others to..be .. a 'toy', I was the mans favorite, so I was, as you can guess..." Words failed him at this point and Ciel started to speak, saving him from the embarrassment.

" You were his favorite." Alois nodded " Is this what your nightmare is about? You and this man?"

Alois shook his head.

" No," He choked, " You- and this man." Ciel didn't speak. He pulled Alois down closer and held the sobbing boy. " Shhh,Shhh, that's not going to happen to you or me, I won't let that happen!"

Alois' sobbing subsided. "I love you."

" I love you too."

They spent the whole night like that, even when they went to bed.

And that's it! Hoped you all liked it! Especially Zombie-unicorn! Any requests? R&R!

See ya next time!
