7 ~Finding Ciel~
He ran. Alois was running to Elizabeth's to see if Ciel was still there. He did not stop running for him. He stopped at Lizzy's front door and caught his breath he knocked on the door and Elizabeth's guardian answered.
"Oh Alois, what are you doing here at this hour?"
"Ciel walked Miss. Elizabeth home correct?" Alois asked, still catching his breath.
"Yes, but he had left right after… It's terribly cold out there Alois, would you like a cup of tea?" She asked.
"I'm sorry but I must go!" And with that, he took off.
Ciel couldn't stand it anymore. He was freezing! For the first time in, well forever, he started to cry. He had just let a couple tears roll down his face. He started running, but stopped when he heard a faint voice in the distance. He couldn't really tell what it was but it was calling something. A chill passed through his body.
"Cieeell…" It was clearer. Somebody was calling his name. He turned and looked all around in the darkness. Nobody.
"CIEELL!?"
He heard the voice coming closer to him. squinting his eyes, he tried to make out a figure in the darkness. He knew who it was. He ran towards the person calling him. "A-Alois is that you?" He yelled.
"There you are!"
Ciel ran into Alois' arms and squeezed him. Alois took a step back, almost falling backwards. Alois hugged him back warmly.
"You must be freezing, Ciel!"
Ciel nodded. Of course I am! Just don't let go of me and keep me warm!" He snuggled closer in Alois' arms. Alois held onto him tighter. "Of course I won't let you go, Ciel."
"So... You came for me... even though I called you an idiot and said those mean things?" Ciel asked without even looking at him.
"Of course I came for you. I love you Ciel... But what had happen with Lady Elizabeth?" He asked him. Ciel loosened his hug and looked up at Alois. Um... She asked me if I loved you and I'm pretty sure she knew and-" He was interrupted. "Knew what?" Alois asked. He knew, he just wanted to hear him say it.
"...That I love you."
Alois smiled. "And then what?"
"I told her that we were engaged but she wanted me to realize that our love isn't real. Considering that our marriage is forced. I'm pretty sure we are not together now."
Alois' smile faded. He was happy at the fact that he was free to be his now but he didn't actually want them to break up. He was not expecting that.
"But you know something...? I want to be with you, Alois." He smiled warmly.
