Ciel POV
I walked up the stairs and knocked on the door. No answer. I opened the door and walked in. She was lying there eyes closed, still pale. I shut the door and sat on the chair beside her bed. Marie must have sat here watching her… Hayato twitched and her hand clenched. Her eyes shot open and she sat up gasping before wincing and leaning against the wall.
"Are you alright?" I asked.
I pulled up her pillow's to make it more comfortable for her. What a stupid question… Of course she isn't. She almost died two days ago.
She closed her eyes, "Sorry."
I looked at her in shock, "Why are you apologising? You haven't done anything wrong."
"I couldn't save her… I couldn't save your Aunt," she mumbled, "And I made people worry about me. I'm sorry."
I sighed, "It wasn't your fault. I'm glad that you tried to save my Aunt but I'm not glad that you almost died because of it."
"I'm sorry."
Would she stop apologising?
"We're just glad that you're okay," I assured.
"Sorry."
"Would you stop saying sorry?!" I exclaimed.
She flinched at the volume.
I sighed, "Sorry."
She looked at me, "Now you're the one apologising."
I rolled my eyes.
"How have you been the past two days?" she asked quietly.
"I've been alright," I looked at her, "What about you? Are you in pain?"
She laughed then winced and sighed, "A little. Nothing that I can't handle though."
I nodded, "That's good to hear."
She slowly reached out towards me. She took my eye patch off and stared into my eyes. She likes to take the patch off, doesn't she?
"You can cry if you want," she murmured, "You don't have to hold it in. Nothing good comes from holding in your tears."
My eyes widened.
"If you're upset about Madame Red's death and you want to cry, cry," she continued, "It would have been hard on you to watch her die before your eyes."
I found all the unshed tears that I had held back begin to stream down my face.
"I didn't want her to die," I sniffled, "I didn't want her to be a suspect. I was so happy when all her alibis were flawless."
Hayato moved slowly, wincing in pain every few seconds. Her arms went around me and I was pulled into a comforting hug. I leaned into it and kept crying. She murmured sweet comforting words to me as she kept held of me.
"Why?" I asked, "Why did she have to die?"
Hayato sighed, "We all die at some point… But I think she had the wrong kind of guy falling in love with her."
"Wrong kind of guy, huh?" a voice hummed, "You wound me dear girly!"
Hayato POV
I looked at the window and kept Ciel's head in my shoulder. Shouldn't it be the other way round? I feel like our positions have been switched…
"Why are you here?" I asked lowly.
"I lost my death scythe thanks to you," Grell sniffed, "All because you got pierced with it."
"Don't blame me for your loss," I spat, "You should know that you aren't welcome here."
"Who is it?" Ciel asked.
"Just keep you eyes away from the window," I murmured, "You don't want to see him."
"It's the reaper who killed my Aunt… Isn't it?"
I nodded, "Yeah."
"Get him out of here."
Grell giggled.
Ciel looked up from my shoulder to the window. His eyes filled with anger and hate.
"Leave!" he ordered.
Grell floated there not moving. I sighed and held out my hand. I shot a few flames out and he narrowly dodged them.
"Tch," I shot out ice at him.
He yelped as one of the shards hit him in the stomach.
"How dare you?!" he shrieked.
My ears popped out and I growled, "You heard Ciel… Leave!"
"A demon, huh?" Grell observed, "I wonder why Will didn't look like he hated you."
An ice spear formed in my hand and I threw it at him. During the flight it changed into a fire spear. I didn't know that could happen… This is interesting… Grell fled screaming as Sebastian burst through the door.
"Stupid reaper!" he growled.
I leant back on the wall and let Ciel go. I used too much energy that I didn't have…
