Chapter 7: Truce Hex
"Why is Ciel so grumpy?" Alois huffed as he went down the grand staircase. "He's so annoying. If he keeps that up, he won't be cute anymore!" Upon reaching the last step, he sat down on it. "Ciel is always thinking about something and he can't relax because of it." He pondered. "What can I do to help him loosen up once in a while?"
Think. Think. Think…
"Of course! Books have everything!" He clapped happily in realization. "Where could their library be?"
Then the front door open and to his excitement, Finny came in. But the servant boy didn't stop or seemed to have taken notice of him. Finny immediately ran to one of the doors near the staircase. There was something in his expression that told that there was something urgent…
"Hm?"
Just then, he could hear footsteps just above him. He glanced around and saw Maylene running down with an exasperated expression. "Ah! Ah!" She panted as she ran down. "Quick! Quick!"
Alois snorted. Maylene took notice of him and bowed. "L-lord Trancy…!"
"What?" He said in an annoyed tone. The maid blushed and appeared to tense.
"S-s-sebastian…!" She stuttered and her face turned completely red. "H…he…!"
"He what?"
Blood trickled down her nose. She became extremely confused and looked as if she was bound to explode at any moment. "Sebastian is molesting Claude!" She appeared to be ripping her hair out and crying. It took five seconds to register into the boy's mind what she just said.
"What…?"
Maylene screamed and darted off running. "I'm such a lecherous maid! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!" She ran towards the same door that Finny had gone in earlier. Alois was left standing there with his mouth open.
"… She said what?"
"What are you doing, Alois?" The blonde failed to notice that Ciel was in front of him. Apparently, the bored noble had received intangible news from a frantic and stuttering Maylene about a room in the servants' quarters so he left his room to investigate. Alois still stood completely dazed and slowly chanted words one by one. "…Sebastian… fucking… Claude… hu-whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat…?"
Ciel rolled his eyes and slapped his cheek lightly. "Alois! What's the matter with you?"
"Ah!" Alois winced and seemed to have come back to reality. "You!" His expression suddenly contained malicious contempt. "This is part of your plot isn't it?"
"What?"
"You told Sebastian to fuck Claude!" Alois pointed an accusing finger at him. "You're so MEAN!"
"That is the most ridiculous claim I've ever heard!" Ciel angrily slapped the blonde's hand away. "How dare you accuse me of such thing? And why would I order him to do that anyway?"
"I don't know? Maybe you want to find his weakness or something…!"
"…Through sex? Please…!"
"Tell the truth you…!" Alois blushed in his fury since he failed to come up with an insult. Thus he was limited to a humiliating blush and an angry glare. He kept on swallowing as if he had finally come up of something to say but his mouth said nothing. Ciel bit his lip because he was about to burst out laughing at how ridiculous the blonde looked.
…Too late.
Ciel giggled uncontrollably. He tried covering his mouth and bowed his face low to hide his expression but he kept on laughing. Alois' anger ebbed away upon seeing Ciel's laughing face. He wanted to see that expression again. "Ah… I made you happy." He smiled and bent to look for the boy's hidden face but Ciel tried his best to allude from him.
"Haha… G-get away from m— Hahaha…!"
"Oh come now. Lemme see…!" Alois smirked and dodged Ciel's arm that attempted to push him away. But upon dodging, his heel slipped from the step and fell to the floor, accidentally pulling Ciel along with him. "Ah…! Sorry…"
Ciel immediately stopped laughing due to the fact that he was literally swept off by his feet with Alois on the floor. What's more, he was lying on top of the boy's chest and he had no choice but to look at each other face to face. The blush on his face couldn't leave because he felt completely ashamed from laughing and staring at the other boy's face.
"Oh my…" Alois smirked and snaked his arms around Ciel's waist. "You have a fast heartbeat."
"Hey let me g—!" Ciel twitched when the other boy brushed his lips against his. His blush deepened into red and pulled himself away from Alois' face as far as he could pull himself back. Alois' arm restricted his movement, especially the waist area. "Didn't I tell you not to touch me?"
"I don't know. Maybe it slipped from my mind." Alois giggled. "Hey, Ciel why don't we…"
Ciel screamed; his face turning red. "NO!"
"…see Sebastian and the servants and what they're busy about!" Alois frowned and pushed him off. "You pervert! What were you thinking?"
Ciel felt deflated and down and annoyed. "You accuse me of being lewd? You started it!"
"Bah! Enough blabber!" Alois stood up from the floor. "Where are the servants' quarters?"
"I hate you." Ciel glared at him as he got up. "Stay EXACTLY two meters away from me!"
"How long is two meters?"
Ciel growled and proceeded to go to the servants' quarters whether Alois was following or not.
"Ciel! Hey Ciel!"
"Dammit…" Ciel covered his ears. "Here we go again…"
A/n: I got conscious of the previous chapter's "scene" so I put the rating up. I'll help myself to stop it from getting an M-rating XD
Short chapter is short and then here we go, word puns again. Say "Truce Hex" very quickly 15 times. And by the way, I might not be able to upload for two weeks. I'm not sure. Until my Finals in college are over, I won't post.
And one word: Crossdressing XD
