Chapter 2: Love at Second Sight

When Ciel had seen Alois for the first time in 125 years, his eyes were wide open and his mouth down to the ground for a good 30 seconds while Alois, staring at him with an evil smirk on his face.

"CIEEEEELLL!" Alois screamed and ran up to him with arms wide open, knocking Ciel onto the ground. He held Ciel in his arms for a long lasting hug.

"I've missed you so much, Ciel!" he whispered in his ear. He picked himself up off the ground and helped Ciel up as well.

"I've missed you t-." Ciel was cut off by a kiss. His eyes widened in shock and pushed himself away from Alois.

"What the hell was that?!" Ciel protested.

"What? You don't know what a kiss is?!" Alois laughed.

Ciel shrugged. He put his hands in his pockets and pretended it never happened. He fell into a gaze and spaced out, staring at the ground. Why did Alois kiss me? I don't like him that way. In fact, I hate him! I'm just lonely and miss the spice he brought to my life.

"What's wrong, Ciel?" Alois asked.

Ciel snapped out of his gaze.

"Nothing. I'm fine."

Alois knew there was something on my mind, but he didn't push at it. He knew I would get frustrated with him.

A few minutes passed as we sat on the side of the street and watched a few cars drive by. I counted them. A blue one. Two white ones. And a black one. I started to gaze off again. I thought to myself. How did Alois come back? So, I intended to ask him.

"Hey, Alois?"

"What is it Ciel?" He asked, wondering what I was to say next.

"How did you get back on Earth? I thought your soul was eaten?"

He smiled at me then spoke. "My ring. My soul is forever bound to it. Even if my soul has been eaten, I am here and alive now."

I nodded in agreement. Then started walking home. He followed.

"So Ciel, what do you want to do?" He asked, so willing.

"I don't know" I said. "I don't even really care. I'm just glad you are back to entertain me."

Alois let out a small laugh and looked at me. "Me entertain you? More like the other way around."

What did he mean? I got lost in my confusion and tripped over a stone that I hadn't even seen in my path. Before I could even blink, I saw Alois reach out his arms to catch me. He looked at me and smiled with a devilish grin. I started to blush.

"Better watch where you're going Ciel. You don't want to end up hurting yourself." My blush got worse. Alois then pulled me up.

"Are you blushing?!" Alois asked in shock.

Ciel pushed him off and denied.

"Why in the hell would I do that?" wiping his blush away.

He could tell that Ciel had been thinking about the kiss. His face gave it away. Alois grabbed him from behind and squeezed him tightly, locking his fingers together. He rested his head on Ciel's right shoulder.

"You don't have to hide anything from me, Ciel." He gently kissed me on my cheek.

I started to blush again but tried to ignore it. I looked at the ground with a frown. I started to think. What is this feeling? Why is his hug so warm and welcoming? I've never liked it before... so why am I liking it now? Suddenly Alois broke his line of thought with conversation.

"So, can I stay at your house, Ciel?" Alois asked with a little puppy dog face.

"What ever for?" Ciel asked, confused.

"Well, as you may remember, Claude no longer exists, and I've grown bored of Hannah. And now that I'm alive again, I've got nothing to do, no where to go."

Ciel thought for a moment. Alois sticking his bottom lip out and widening his eyes, begging. Hoping, he would say yes.

"Very well. You can stay at my manor with me and Sebastian. We will also enroll you in school to give you something to do."

Alois jumped with joy and hugged Ciel tightly.

"Oohhh, thank you Ciel!" He cheered. "Maybe I'll get to be in the same class as you!"

The very image made Ciel feel a shiver down his spine. Having Alois around all day is one thing, but LIVING with him was another. Having both would be utter hell. I guess I will have to learn to deal with him, Ciel thought.

They walked back to the manor, the rain still falling, but ever so slightly.

Later that day

"Young master? I have returned." Sebastian said.

He heard what he had said echo throughout the manor. It was empty, he thought. Then, out of nowhere, Alois pounces at Sebastian. With such quick and invisible-like movements, Sebastian evaded the pounce. Ciel came walking down the stairs, smiling at Sebastian.

"Why is Alois Trancy here? And how did he return?" Sebastian asked his young master.

"It's a long story, but he is here to stay. And thats an order!" Ciel had told Sebastian.

Alois stood there next to Sebastian with the stupidest grin on his face. He lent forward to hug Sebastian. Sebastian had the most disgusted look on his face, since he wasn't very keen on physical interaction unless it was his master. Ciel then pried Alois off of Sebastian. At almost an instant, Alois began to cling to Ciel. This made him give off the slightest grin, which Sebastian had noticed, but kept to himself.

"Sebastian, you are to organize a room for Alois and to enroll him in school, understood?" Ciel commanded

"Yes, master." He replied

Late that night

Ciel awoke to the sound of his bedroom door creaking open. He opened his eyes to see Alois at the door, peaking half his body inside.

"Ciel, can I sleep with you? It's dark and lonely in my room."

Ciel took a moment to think it over then gave a direct answer.

"Sure." He replied.

Alois smiled and came skipping over to the bed. He hopped onto the left side of the bed, while Ciel was on the other. Ciel thought. Is Alois really afraid of the dark? He thought. He stopped thinking about it and focused on sleeping, but it was nearly hopeless since they were facing each other and that Ciel did not need to sleep, since he was a Demon. It grew awkward, so Ciel decided to turn to his side and face the other direction. He suddenly felt two arms wrap around him.

"Alois, what are you doing?" Ciel asked, still facing the other direction.

"Comforting you. You seam so tense and you've been over-thinking about everything."

Ciel was too comforted by Alois's tight snuggle to care about getting released, so he just went with it. He started drifting off to sleep until he was in a soft, light sleep in Alois's arms. Alois stayed awake a few minutes longer, just to watch Ciel sleep. He looks so cute when he is asleep, Alois thought to himself. Alois had whispered one last thing before he had drifted asleep.

"You will love me Ciel Phantomhive. Even if it kills you to believe, you will love me."

Ciel let off a small grin. Alois had drifted to sleep, snuggling tightly, to Ciel's body.

END OF CHAPTER 2!

What will happen between the two boys? How will school be for Alois? Will Ciel have to deal with him at SCHOOL TOO?! Keep on reading until Chapter 3! :) Thanks :D
