Hey Hi Hello everyone! Sorry this took so long~
"Ciel. Ciel. Cieeeeelllll." Alois whispers, as he walks up to the bed. He whispers again, jabbing Ciel's cheek. The blunette groans.
"I will murder you." Ciel mumbles from under the covers.
"No you wont."
"I wish I could without feeling sorry."
"But you cant, and that's why I love you." Alois smiles. Ciel appears, wrapping his arm around the blonde's neck and pulling him back into bed.
"What time is it?"
"7:30."
"Aloisss." Ciel groans, rolling over in bed. "It's Saturday. Let me sleeeep."
"No can do, darling!" Alois says, rolling off the bed and trying to pull Ciel along with him. The blunette doesn't budge.
"You know how I need my sleep, Alois."
"Don't even try and pull the beauty sleep crap on me, hun. I'm the cute one, okay?"
Ciel flips him off without rolling back over.
"Babe, you said you'd help me decorate today." Alois whines, tugging on Ciel's arm.
"Yeah, not at 7:30 in the fucking morning, babe."
Alois huffs, crosses his arms. "I made hot cocoa."
Ciel immediately sits up in bed.
"What are you talking about? I've been up for hours."
"Uh-huh. Sure you have. Put some pants on, Phantomhive. Grell, Sebby, and Will are coming over." Alois orders, tossing a pair of pants in Ciel's face.
"Well good morning to you too!"
XxXxXxX
Everyone is clothed and ready to start at 8:15. It's a new record for all of them.
"Alright." Alois begins as he dishes out the cocoa. "I was hoping I could get you three," Alois motions to William, Sebastian, and Ciel, "working on the outside decorations, while Grell and I worked on decorating inside. Is everyone okay with that?" Alois asks as he sips his drink. The three boys tiredly nod and grab the outdoor decorations.
"Tell me again why we're here at 8 am on a damn Saturday?" Sebastian groans, hugging his hot chocolate close.
"You should be asking yourself that question, seeing that no one really asked you to come." William states.
"Geez. I cant tell what's colder. The temperature, or Will's attitude." Sebastian snorts.
William throws the reef at Sebastian.
Sebastian's knocked to the ground, and his hot chocolate spills onto the grass. The reef lands comically around his neck, and William proudly nods before going back to work.
"Guys, knock it off. Let's just get this stuff put up so we can go back inside." Ciel rolls his eyes, taking the first plastic container and ripping the top off. A giant Santa mask stares back at him.
Ciel screams.
"Ciel?! Ciel, what's wrong?" Alois asks, running from inside the house with Grell following close behind.
"It's n-nothing. I just opened the wrong box." Ciel grumbles, fixing his hair and stomping over to the box with the reindeer in it. Alois walks over to the opened box and laughs.
"No way!" He laughs, pulling the mask from the box. "You're afraid of Santa?!"
"No! I am not afraid of him. He's just some inexistent-"
"Ciel!" Grell gasps, playfully smacking him on the arm. "Think of the children!"
"-fat ass man that creeps into everyone's house once a year. I hate that guy!"
Alois cocks his head to the side, turning the plastic mask to mimic his action. "But, how do you hate someone who doesn't exist?"
"Oh my God, you people have no imagination!" Grell cries, marching back into the house.
Ciel looks back at the three boys waiting for an answer. "I...I just do, okay?"
Alois nods, placing the mask back in the box. He gives Ciel a knowing smile before walking back inside.
"I'll do the Santa box." Will shrugs, tugging the box over to him.
"Thanks, Will."
"You know," Sebastian says, still trying to get the reef from around his head. "It's okay to be afraid of Santa. Lots of toddlers are." Sebastian laughs.
Ciel throws a reindeer antler at his head.
XxXxXxX
Ciel gets all the reindeer put together and in order, (Rudolph in front, duh) on the grass, and he's pulling out the candy canes when a Santa stand up decoration flies in front of his face. Ciel screams and punches through the hard plastic the man was made of.
"What the hell!?" Alois yells as he runs back outside. "Sebastian! What the hell are you doing?!" He yells at the boy rolling in the grass laughing.
"Oh, come on! You should've seen his face! It was funny!" He laughs.
"Can you just finish this, guys? Please?" Alois says, looking to the three boys who are barely half way done. They nod slowly. Alois sighs and runs a hand through his hair. Ciel watches as the locks fall back in the same place.
"Thank you." He smiles before heading back inside.
"We only have a few more boxes of stuff, let's just do as Trancy says and finish already." William says, finishing up a box. The other boys nod in agreement.
"But you punched through a decoration. You had to admit it was kind of funny." Sebastian snickers, nudging Ciel with his elbow.
Ciel hooks a candy cane to the reef and yanks Sebastian to the ground.
XxXxXxX
It takes the boys another half an hour, but they finally get all the outside decorations put up. There's icicle lights hanging from the above the garage, glittery bows hung above the outside lights, and a winter wonderland theme on the front yard, complete with the reindeer, a 'water path' made of blue lights, and little glitter trees stuck in the grass.
Alois and Grell come out to check it out and the blonde is almost brought to tears.
"Oh my gosh." He says, his hands covering his mouth. "I still do it better, but this is a close second. Not really, though." He teases, bumping shoulders with Ciel.
"Yeah, yeah. Whatever. Do you really like it, though?"
"Are you kidding? I love it, Ciel. Thank you." Alois says, taking Ciel's hand and squeezing it as he looks over the decorations again. "Thanks to you both, actually." Alois turns to where Will's cuddling with Grell as they look at the wonderland scene. The stoic man mutters a quick "no problem" and pulls Grell closer.
"Hey! What about me?!" Sebastian says, running to stand in front of the two couples.
"I think you caused more destruction than help." Grell states. William nods.
"Did not!"
"You exploited Ciel's fear of Santa Clause for your own entertainment! And your still wearing my reef!" Alois motions to the reef still around the boys neck, a antler sticking off the side and a candy cane dangling from the bottom. Grell plucks the antler off and puts it where it belongs on Rudolph's head.
"I do not fear him! I just don't like him!"
"You sure about that?" Sebastian asks, reappearing in front of Ciel with the Santa mask on. The blunette yelps, punching Sebastian square in the nose. Sebastian squawks, limbs flailing as he falls and crushes all the reindeer. The other four break out laughing, hugging and high fiving as they walk back inside.
"You're being locked out, Sebastian, until you go buy me more reindeer and put them up, and hang up that damn reef!" Alois calls as he shuts and locks the door.
I am the Queen of random endings, I swear.
