Crazy
I wanna dance in Paris, France…
I wanna go all around the world…
I wanna go Crazy!
Several weeks later…
Alyssin sighed heavily, for the past few weeks she had been forced to entertain Alois Trancy, another young earl much like a Ciel…only a bit more…crazed, yeah that's a good word for it.
She was currently sitting in the back garden, awaiting Alois's arrival, they were to have afternoon tea. Alois had started this little routine after making Alyss read 'Alice in Wonderland' to him as a bed time story, he was now completely obsessed with all things 'Wonderland' and had even gotten Alyss and 'Alice' style dress…complete with large lacy hair bow.
Alois had started dress in a red devil like outfit (The one he wore to the Costume Ball in the show), with fangs and cute little black wings and had adorned a small black and red crown…proclaiming himself the 'Red King'…and often yelling 'Off with her/their/his head' at random times to scare the servants, particularly Hannah.
"Hello there, Alyss! Im afraid to tell you, but the Cheshire cat and the Mad Hatter are going to be late!" Alois yelled, bounding up and seating himself on Alyss's lap, where she sat cross-legged under a shady tree.
Alyss fawned discontent, "Oh, how dreadful! We shall have to delay our tea!" Although she wouldn't openly admit it, Alyss found Alois's company to be very fun and comforting, he reminded her a lot of Grell and she didn't mind spending time with the boy.
Her only issue with staying with the Trancy boy was that he forbade her to leave the grounds without him or Claude, which meant for the past several weeks she had had no contact with or from Grell or William…And worst of all, she had not seen her dearest Shi-kun, she had so many things she wanted to talk to him about.
Alyss had been carefully biding her time, although she had tried to get away at least once or twice, unfortunately Claude stopped her each time…He thankfully had yet to tell Alois of these instances and Alyss was highly grateful. She had seen Alois's temper many times since her arrival and had no intention of having it turned on herself.
"What are you thinking about Ms. Alyss? Hmm?" Alois sat up, straddling the pale haired girls waist, something he did often enough not to faze the white god of death at this point. "Come on tell me! Please? I wont get mad, I promise!" The blonde earl grinned innocently, only his eyes showed that he was far from being innocent, they showed the dark crazed look that was come for the little earl.
Alyss had a vacant, far off look on her pale face, lost in thoughts of her dearest friends and her silver knight. Blinking once, she turned her head to look at the blonde in her lap, often thinking of the boy as a little brother, rather than her capture. Smiling, she chose her words carefully, promise or not, you never knew when the boy would loose his fragile temper.
"I was…Thinking about my friends…I've been worried about them, since I don't know if that angel woman may have brought them harm…" She said slowly, hoping the boy might bite and feel enough sympathy to let her go, if only for a bit. Alois stared at her a moment, before placing a finger to his lip and closing his eyes in thought, Alyss wish desperately that she could read the blonde earl's mind.
A smile suddenly spread across the young earl's face, a mischievous glint in his light blue eyes, "Tell me more about these…'Friends'."
Meanwhile at the Phantomhive estate…
Grell, William, Ciel, Sebastian, and Undertaker, sat in the young earl's study, draped in silence, broken only by Grell's occasional heavy sigh. Ciel sat at his desk, hand under his chin supporting his head, his single blue eye closed. Sebastian stood in his usual place behind the earl's chair, silver tray held under one arm, eyes unconsciously trail in the red reapers direction. Grell paid no mind to Sebastian's rather odd amount of attention, having barley notice that it had grown increasingly more obvious that the black butler was attempting to actually GAIN Grell's attention, rather than deter it like he normally did.
Unbeknownst to the present party, the butler had been sneaking out every chance he got to look for the missing girl, he could truly careless about her, but if it would bring Grell back to his normal mind state…Then the demon butler would stop at nothing to find her…even quite eating and sleeping.
In between searching and attending his normal butler duties, Sebastian had managed to find time to dote on his secret crush, in small ways that the young master would more than likely not notice. Such as speaking to Grell more often when no one was around, leaving flowers in the guest room the reaper currently occupied, leaving hand-made chocolates on his pillow, and even leaving him a bright red teddy bear with a cute little black bow about its neck.
Sebastian had been secretly in love with the red head since the first time they had fought that night so long ago, he wished often that they could of met under different circumstances, since his situation forced him to hide his feelings…Since it was Grell who had killed Madam Red, Bocchan could very easy order the demon butler to simply kill the reaper and because of this Sebastian did his best to distract the young lord from Grell and keep himself distant from the god of death as best he could.
If Grell hadn't been so distracted over the past weeks, he might have been ecstatic at the sudden attentiveness of his idol of affection and might of noticed or rather realized that the demon was the one leaving him gifts, unfortunately the red haired mans attention had been souly focused on locating his still missing friend, whilst he silently stared out the window, chin in hand and eyes distant.
The Undertaker, normally a peppy happy sort of person, not unlike Grell, was currently leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, staring at the floor through his fringe. William was sitting in one of the few chairs in the room, glaring at the desk Ciel was seated behind, without actually seeing it. Although the normally strict, no-nonsense, death god would not admit it, he had grown a soft spot for the missing reaper girl and her cheerful attitude and strange ability to quell Grell's stupid tendency to make more work for William than necessary.
Ciel opened his eye and gazed about the room, "I doubt she is alive, its been weeks, who ever kidnapped her has probably killed her by now." Four sets of eyes turned on the earl, three of them seething with rage at the comment, the last with a raised brow. The Undertaker advanced on the boy, opening his mouth the speak, but it was William who beat him to the punch, as the dark haired reaper was across the room in a flash and a loud smack echoed around the room.
Ciel placed a hand to his now stinging cheek and stared at the man before him, the reaper glared at the small earl, "Shut up!" His voice rose for the first time anyone knew of, no longer the even tempered monotone. "Take it back!" Grell screamed, already on his feet, pointing an angry finger at the boy across the room.
Ciel smirked, "Does the truth hurt?" He asked sadistically, a mischievous sparkle in his blue eye, Grell flinched as if he had been stabbed. Only Sebastian saw the broken look and the unshed tears in the red heads eyes, the reaper turned on his heels and stormed out of the room, flinging the door open with enough force to punch a hole in the wall.
Sebastian, bit his lip, forcing himself to remain composed and not run after the reaper. He composed himself and turned to Ciel with an even look, smiling a fake gentle smile, "Shall I make tea, Young Master?" He asked, Ciel didn't look up, returning to his earlier position. "Fine, make some desert to, I'm hungry and want something sweet."
"Yes, my Lord." The butler left at a leisurely pace, at least until he was outside the study, after that point the ran down the hall was swiftly as his sleep deprived legs would carry him, franticly scanning the rooms he passed for his blood red paradigm*.
Sorry for the lateness! Hope you guys like it and I would love your thoughts on how I'm doing, particularly how well I'm portraying Alois ^_^' (I'm pretty sure I'm falling at catching his full personality.) Anyways…Reviews of all kinds are welcome, I'll to my best to reply to them in a swift and accurate manner. The Song is Crazed by David Guetta. I haven't decide yet, but the next chapter going to probably mainly Grell x Sebas-chan, I am also planning a one-shot(Perhaps a multi-shot) for the two later ^_~
*Has several meanings but in this case the mean is meant to be 'A lover or object of ones Affections' I found the mean some time ago on Google when I was confused by the lyrics of the song 'Paradigm' by We Are The Fallen.
