12 ~A figure In The Darkness~
Ciel looked ahead of him. what's this? A figure. A figure drawing near them. A tall dark figure getting closer. Ciel Held Alois tight again.
Alois looked up. He saw Ciel was looking ahead so he looked too. He also saw it. The figure slowly coming towards them. He Held onto Ciel Tighter.
"C-Ciel...!"
"Yes, I see the tall figure in front of us. Stay calm, Alois..." Ciel wasn't calm at all though. He just wanted to protect Alois like he promised.
"Just don't make a sound... Keep still."
Alois nodded.
The figure turned in the other direction. They kept their eyes locked on the figure until it disappeared in the darkness.
"...It's okay now...I think."
Alois looked up at Ciel. "Ciel, thank you for protecting me." He said in a low voice.
"Of course, Alois." He brushed a strand of hair from his face. He gave him another kiss.
They heard something approach from behind them. They turned around and to their surprise, it was the figure. they jumped and scrambled to their feet. Ciel jumped in front of Alois and held his arms out, guarding Alois. "DON'T YOU DARE LAY A FINGER ON HIM!"
Alois gasped at Ciel actions. "Oh Ciel..."
"GET AWAY FROM US!" He screamed, as tears were coming out of his eyes.
"Master?"
Ciel slowly lowered his arms and grabbed onto Alois' hands.
"Young master are you alright?" It was Sebastian. Of course it was... That tall, dark, eerie figure coming towards them was Sebastian. Ciel ran into his arms. "Sebastian! It was you! just... you...!"
Alois sighed in relief.
"Master, you are terribly cold! I can feel you shivering. Let us go back inside."
Ciel nodded and grabbed onto Alois' hand. They stayed close.
They got back to the the mansion and Sebastian got them dressed in their bedclothes. He then prepared some hot tea for the freezing boys. They headed straight to bed after drinking their tea. They were awfully tired! Ciel got under the covers with Alois. They faced each other, holding hands.
"That was a pretty scary night..." Ciel said.
"Thank you, Ciel."
Ciel smiled. "I would do anything to keep you safe. I love you." He put his arm around him.
Alois smiled at that and drifted into sleep.
