Mocha: Filler! This is a special chapter I think... One step ahead who shall it be?

Sebastian: Contest?

Mocha: Some what

Ciel: Okay weird

Ayase-san: Why am I getting suitors now?

Mocha: Well you look so beautiful, girly, and fragile guys just fawn over you, not only that your so sweet and gentle! you just happen to win hearts ^.^

Ayase-san:...

Ayase-san stood on the balcony staring out at the greenery, he was happy to be back home, But he knows this will only last a little, "Ayase-san" called Ciel who came by him.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

"Just staring out at the view... where I'm from no one had this kind of beauty... There was so many buildings and homes that we don't have that much greenery, so this is kind of new to me" he said smiling.

Ciel blushed under his gaze, but smiled "You know Ayase-san You've been here for almost what... a month or two? and I noticed something... You hardly ever leave your room, why?" he asked, he hardly saw Ayase-san when they were home, he was always curious.

"Um... I guess it's because I hard don't go around and snoop... I'm more personal and will try to stay out of people's business, plus your always busy so I never like to disturb you" said Ayase-san fidgeting with his fingers.

Ciel sighed, "Yes, I suppose I usual am"

He looks at the sky for a while, it was a nice day, warm with a gentle cool breeze, it was calm since the morning so the servants haven't break anything... yet and Sebastian was calmer than before so that was good, 'probably messing with one of the cats around the Manor' he thought.

"Madam Red isn't here to see me in one of the dresses she has me to wear" said Ayase-san as he looked down at the silk blue dress that had a hit of violet in it.

"I must admit, it's a nice color" said Ciel out-loud, Ayase-san gave a puzzled looked, but smiled shyly "th-thank you" he said blushing a bit.

Ciel felt his ears turn red, they stood quiet for a while as the wind began to pick up.

"Bocchan... Your highness, what are you doing out there?" asked Sebastian as he approached the two, "Nothing" said Ciel feeling his face heat up again.

Sebastian smirked at his master, "It was nothing... it was a nice day so we just stood outside for a while" said Ayase-san approaching him; Sebastian gave him a warmful smile, "Well it is a nice day... if you like maybe you can have a picnic out there for lunch" he suggested.

"Great idea! Maybe a day outside might be good for us" smiled Ayase-san.

"But we spend that time at Barrymore Castle" said Ciel; Ayase-san smiled at him, "yeah, but we just relaxed for a while, so maybe let's just have it here."

Ciel gave out a frustrating sigh, "alright... only for a while."

Ayase-san smiled wider, "thank you"

***LUNCH TIME***

Ciel sat down across from Ayase-san who smiled at the sight of Pluto rolling over on his back, "You love dogs and cats right?" he asked.

"Yeah... I'm surprise you remember that... some people who I met never listen sometimes, I never understand why though" said Ayase-san.

Ciel gave him a smile, "well I'm not like some people Ayase-san, I actually do listen... It's the only thing I can do that's useful"

"That's not true, your great at many things" he said.

"Like what?" he looked at the boy who was still smiling, "Your mature, brave, hard working, you take action when it's necessary, you plan things out, which always come out perfect, and at it all you see a lot of pain, but you manage to endure it, you let nothing stand in your way from your goal... I-I admire that, to be honest I sort envy you" said Ayase-san.

Ciel eye flew open, "you envy me?" Ayase-san nodded, "You see ever since my parents died I been on my own, I never talked to people, I hardly went out, I can never stand up for myself... But I really want to change, I want to be just like you... Ciel, I look up to you."

Ciel felt his face heat up, he never knew Ayase-san admired him, 'I guess since he's always so nice he never likes to hurt anyone' Ayase-san was like him anti-social, something he liked, but Ayase-san tries to be sociable so that he can't be... "You-You don't like to be alone, do you Ayase-san?" he watches him for a moment.

Before seeing him nodded, "I'm afraid to be alone, it's something I fear... I can't even sleep alone at night, I still can't because, well I'm paranoid about... Kano-chan"

"Kano? whose he?" asked Ciel.

"He was my master and Guardian for a while, until he was shot and killed, I was basically ran for it, but the man was chasing me until I got hit by a... well something large, hard, and was metal, I should have been dead, but now here I am sitting here about to have lunch with you" he said.

Ciel chuckled a bit then it died down, "You act innocence Ayase-san" the blond looked up to him and soon remember about the man who- "UGH!"

"AYASE-SAN!" went Ciel as he watched the poor boy fall to the floor.

The boy held onto the statue to dear life as the pillar began to break, "leave me alone!" he cried as he pushed the statue to the men and jumped out a nearby window, he land down with a *THUMP!* and quickly made a fun for it into the dark and thick woods, to the city where he climbed the window to his house, "Mama! Papa! I'm home!" he called out crying, but smiling at the same time.

he wander around the house, pictures were shatters, the walls were rotting away, the place smelled of mildew and decomposed bodies of rats, he came to his parents room where laid two lumps which laid underneath.

He climbed up to the bed and said, "come on Papa, you said that when I come back we can play" he shakes the lump over, but got no response, he turned to the other lump and gave her a shake, "Mama, I can I-" he stopped when he noticed how small his Mother felt, and cold she felt.

He slowly takes the ends of the blanket and pulls down to see pure white sticks and two stones on the head of his parents, "Your not Mama, Your not Papa... are you?" he asked.

He takes the two stones in hand and looks at them, he smiles, but tears streamed down his face, his eyes big and wide, "You are Mama and Papa... Am I alone?" he asked.

"No, it's okay" he said as he places the stones back and covered them again, he then lays in the middle in between the two and begins to cry, "I can wait until you wake up... I can wait, I'm a good boy, and good boys get prizes at the end right Mama?"

No reply came from the stone, he was drowned in by bitter silence, he didn't want to admit, he was alone.

....

"Ay-Ayase! Your okay!" went Ciel as he stood by one side of the bed, Ayase-san shot up and began to shiver, tears fell down his face and fear swept into his heart.

Ciel noticed this and try to calm him down, "Ayase-san you oka-" He was soon tackled into a hug by the lad who shivered uncontrollably, "Ayase-san?"

"Don't! DON'T LEAVE ME! I'M SCARED! I'M SCARED!" he choked out in between his sobs, tears soaking onto the fabric of his vest, gripping tighter, and didn't let go.

Ciel cupped his face to him and said, "Ayase-san... I won't leave you, I promise" he wiped his tears away and stroked his hair back, Ayase-san slowly began to mellow down and hic-cups a bit, still shivering, he didn't want to end up little boy in his dreams, he didn't like to be alone.

But Ciel was there, he wasn't alone anymore, he had someone there with him who is comforting him, and he felt safe.

He missed this feeling of safety and comfort, something he never had when he was little, he was grateful for the feeling, he was grateful to be there with people who actually cared... He felt at home.

Sebastian wasn't far from the room, he outside of the room feeling a pit of anger and guilt he had in his stomach, Ayase-san was truly alone and judging by the looks of it he probably never felt safe, and that's what angered him, but what made him guilty was that he couldn't be able to comfort him.

Instead it was his master doing his bidding, sure he had noticed his master trying to get close to Ayase-san it was something he had to stop, he wasn't going to give up though that's for sure, Ciel always had his goals set, but Ayase-san wasn't really a goal, he was a choice, a bright light that is rare to find in these times.

'I better tell him my feelings soon or who knows might take him from me'
