Tell me guys, what's been your favourite part of it so far?
"Alois this isn't fair, you didn't teach me how to play this!" Elizabeth whined from her place on the floor beside Luka, playing video games with him while Alois laid on the couch reading a magazine.
You don't play, you lose, he thought with a chuckle. "Sorry Lizzy, but Luka's a pro at this, you're bound to lose either way". Just like your gonna lose my heart before you ever got it. "Luka, be nice to our guest and teach her the basics at least".
"Yes Big Brother" Luka giggled and proceeded to show Elizabeth exactly how to play while Alois went back to reading his magazine.
"Ciel, the funeral car's here!"
"Alright, coming..." Ciel mumbled as he straightened his tie and made sure his hair was slicked down neatly, one eye half covered. He gave a small huff and walked out of his room and down the steps to where his mother was waiting. I still can't believe Elizabeth is almost practically family and yet she's allowed to spend time playing with Trancy than come and pay respects and keep me from breaking down into a complete mess... I bloody swear Trancy, if you do anything to hurt her now you finally have her then you're so dead and I mean that so you won't get to see the light of another day...
Finally November 5th had arrived. Which meant that Alois Trancy had finally turned 15! Well, first off he still had school for the day, but how else would he hand out invitations? And by invitations, I mean flyers advertising the party he was throwing.
"Big Brother! Big Brother!" was the awakening call he received from Luka as the youngest Trancy member bounced around on Alois' bed happily, probably more excited about the day than the birthday boy was. "Happy Birthday Alois!"
"Hehe, good morning to you too Luka" Alois chuckled and pulled his brother into a tight hug. "How many presents did I get so far?"
"Alois, that's not what your birthday should be about!" Luka pouted cutely.
"I know, I know, but what's the point in giving me gifts if I can't appreciate them properly because it's my birthday?" Luka just giggled and crawled away from his brother, leaning over the side of the bed and pulling out a roughly wrapped present with Alois' name scribbled on the side of it. The small boy blushed a little at his messy work but presented it to his sibling with a large grin. He cuddled back up to Alois when the older Trancy took the present from him. "Aww, thank you Luka". He unwrapped the gift, tearing the wrapping paper to shreds, and smiled brightly when he lifted the lid of the black box. "You are the best little brother in the world!" He took out the silver locket and lifted it up before opening the case at the bottom of the chain which revealed a picture of him and Luka on either side. "Luka..." Alois immediately put the clipped the locket around his neck and hugged his brother tightly, kissing his head as a few tears fell. "Thank you...thank you so much... Th-This must've cost a fortune... I know we're rich but still..."
"It did, but it was worth it because it's for you; the best brother in the entire galaxy!"
Alois chuckled and looked at the pictures once more, they were the most recent photos Luka could get his hands on of the two of them together, smiling brightly like the happiest children in the world. "I'll never take it off, not even for a shower or for bed, I promise".
Alois' day at school for the morning went well. He was greeted with the happy, smiling faces of his friends and loyal school subjects.
"Good morning Your Highness!"
"Have a lovely day Your Highness!"
"Happy 15th!"
"Happy Birthday!"
Yes, the morning went extraordinarily well for him. And when Lunch arrived, Alois was well prepared. Once everyone had settled down in their seats in the lunch hall, Alois stood upon his table and coughed loudly for everyone's attention. Once silence greeted him, he smiled brightly and threw his hands up in the air above his head, sending multiple purple flyers everywhere and landing in all sorts of places. "I'm having a party tonight at my place, and you're all invited! Yep, every single one of you! All the information is on the flyer. I hope to see you there!" He then gladly sat down in his seat, catching Ciel's eye in the distance as Elizabeth ran up to him to hug him tightly for the six billionth time that day - really, it was beginning to get irritating the way his lungs and everything else inside his chest seemed to cave in and mould together until the girl let go.
"I'll definitely come, Alois!" she squealed happily.
He smiled back at her. "I expected nothing less, my dear. We shall dance the night away, forgetting about everyone but ourselves". Elizabeth just grinned wider and giggled before crushing his insides once more for the day.
Meanwhile, Ciel was almost seething. Finny looked at him, almost frightened of his friend. "Um...Ciel?"
"What?" came a growled out reply.
"I...err...are you gonna go?"
"Of course I'm going! Who knows what he'll do to Lizzy!" the dark bluenette snapped. Then he sighed almost too dramatically. "I'm going to need to buy a gift, aren't I?" he sighed again. "Oh well, can't help the ways of Alois Trancy on his special day I suppose... Finny, you'll be accompanying me tonight".
"O-Of course!"
Ciel smirked inwardly. This was an opportunity he wouldn't get until a year today, so he had to take it while he had the chance. Tonight would be one of Alois' worst. He would make sure of it.
Sorry I haven't updated in forever... Had some stuff going on and it's all been really complicated so, yeah... But, of course, I didn't want to disappoint you guys! If it weren't for you guys and your love for this story, I wouldn't have got this far with it! Never expect to go over 3 chapters with my stories cause most of them kinda suck...especially if I'm new to the fandom and stuff. Also, if you guys are interested then there is a small poll on my profile for me to do another High School AU but for another anime fandom. I think I have at least four anime on the poll for you to choose and I think I set it so that you can choose up to two options. But please, check it out for me and vote!
So yeah, like I said above, what's your favourite part of the story so far? Also...would you like Claude to start dating someone? I already have a future idea of who he will eventually start dating but I just want to see what you guys would think of it first.
Also, main reason for not updating is because I honestly could not think of what I wanted this chapter to be about. I got to the part about the funeral for Vincent back near my birthday which was around a month ago and then it only hit me recently that I should just skip to November 5th and have Alois' party - otherwise this story was practically going nowhere.
