hapter 10: Here come the...grooms?

"We are gathered here today,
In the sight of GOD,
And in the face of family and friends,

To join together Aleister Chambers AND Sebastian Michaelis

in holy matrimony;

Which is an honorable estate,

Instituted of GOD, since the first
Man and the first woman

Walked on the earth-" The priest began. William was seated in the third row of the chapel just outside of Preston with Ciel on his right and Grell on his left. As the ceremony continued he looked at Ciel. William had told Ciel his backstory on the way to the church and Ciel had remained silent after that. Slowly he turned towards the child.

"Ciel?" he probed, whispering.

"We are so much alike, same age our parents were murdered, we were both taken captive, escaped, and have vowed revenge. I am tired of being alone and now Sebastian is leaving to live with that pervert. Not to mention he won't give me any more espresso. I have come to realize we were meant to meet. My universe will never be the same without you. I want you to know that." murmured Ciel

"...Yes, I feel the same. Ciel," he sighed "would you like to live with me? I can take care of you, otherwise you will be all alone. I don't want that for you. Will you let me be your father?"

"Yes! Oh, thank you! You can come live at the manor with me, oh I won't be alone anymore."

"No, but you'll need a mother as well," he turned to Grell "Grell Sutcliff, member of the Shinigami Dispatch Society, will you marry me? Become my wife, and this child's mother?"

"Oh Will, you mean it? Really! Oh yes! Of course I will my darling Will."

"Shhh, turn it down just a little," Ciel hushed Grell glared at him but was placated when William put his hand on his shoulder.

"Calm down Grell," he said.

As the wedding came to a close the guests started to leave. Grell was clinging on to William for dear life. Ciel was happily skipping beside them. Sebastian and the Viscount would soon start packing for their honeymoon in the Amazon rainforest at the parrots beach house. It seemed all was going to work out alright. As the couple was carried off by a flock of the parrots the others waved.

"Will," Grell started "that brat, er, kid, has an enormous amount of espresso, shouldn't we stop him?"

"Why? He'll be fine, he is ours after all Mr. Sutcliff." Grell looked up, William was smiling as he pulled his soon-to-be wife closer.
