Chapter 7
After Ciel had fallen asleep next to Alois they lay close together on the king sized bed and, sometime during the night, each had unconsciously drawn closer to the other until they were wrapped in each others arms.
Ciel, being the early bird that he was, had been the first to wake; rays of sun streaming in through the window and falling across his eyes.
He opened them briefly before deciding that he wasn't dealing with this shit and snuggled his head into his pillow.
His…. large…. firm….warm pillow.
….Wait….
Ciels eyes shot open.
He panicked for a moment when he realized it was a body but calmed quickly after looking down into Alois's sleeping face.
Then his panic renewed slightly when he realized it was ALOIS.
"Gah!"
He jumped back quickly to get away from the boy he had previously been holding to him in his arms.
This caused Alois to wake as well and he sat up in dazed shock and weary eyed confusion.
"What..?" The blonde-haired boy asked.
Ciel had no answer.
It wasn't really so much the shock, but because he hadn't been expecting that at all.
He's never done that with ANYONE.
Alois blinked when he had gotten no response.
He rubbed the sleep from his eyes and opened his mouth wide in a yawn.
"Ciel...? Are you ok..?"
Alois tilted his head to the side cutely as Ciel glanced up at him.
Alois noticed his face was pretty red and he instantly felt worried.
He moved closer to the boy, raising the back of his hand to his forehead.
"Are you feeling alright...? Your face is red." Alois stated.
Ciel's eyes widened just slightly more as he quickly grabbed Alois' hand and removed it from his face. "I'm... Fine..." He panted out slightly.
He then released the hold he had on the poor boy's wrist since he could tell it wasn't a very gentle grip.
Alois frowned, getting even more worried about the other male. "Ciel...? Did i do something...?" He asked.
Ciel blinked and stared at the boy, not sure if he should tell him that they slept together...
Alois frowned more. "I-I did.. Didn't i..?" He whimpered.
Ciel's eyes widened more. "Ah.. N-No.. No.. You didn't.."
Alois kept the frown on his face as he just silently stared at the raven haired boy.
Ciel watched him silently.. "I promise... You didn't do anything wrong.." He stated.
Alois continued to frown but nodded nonetheless, still thinking he did something wrong.
Ciel sighed lightly as he moved off the bed and put his shirt back on before he looked back at him.
"Hungry? I can make breakfast."
Alois lifted his head and smiled. "Yes!"
Ciel nodded as he left his room as Alois scrambled after him.
Ciel walked into the kitchen and grabbed a few pans from the drawer underneath the oven door.
As he put them on the Stove top and lit the flames to heat up the pans; he took out 4 eggs from the fridge and cracked them all into a bowl before throwing out the egg shells.
He grabbed the bacon from the fridge and opened the pack before placing a few into one of the heated pans, then took out the Pancake mix.
He poured the dry mix into a measuring cup before spilling it into a medium bowl and adding the correct amount of water then mixed it together.
He poured some of the batter into one of the heated pans after pouring a bit of oil into it first.
He dumped the bowl of eggs into the pan and they began to cook before he flipped the bacon.
Ciel eventually finished cooking and he pulled out two plates just as he heard the front door open and shut.
He froze lightly before glancing at the door to the kitchen; silently wondering if the man that walked in would even say anything to him.
As Ciel silently waited for the man to walk into the kitchen, he was surprised to find out that the man walked in, went upstairs for a few minutes before coming back down and leaving right after.
Ciel waited for a few minutes as he heard the car eventually start and leave the driveway.
He let out a very audible sigh, forgetting that Alois was there for a split second before quickly setting down a plate in-front of him.
Ciel was rather quiet now. "You can get your food now..."
Alois heard the door open and was surprised when the person just came in and left.
He assumed that it was Ciel's father, finny had told him that he was rarely home.
He looked at Ciel as he stood at the stove cooking.
When he set a plate down before Alois he barely even looked at him.
"Thank you." he said with a smile.
Ciel nodded and walked back over to the stove to get his own food.
He walked back to the table and sat across from Alois as he just stared at his plate while eating.
He barely touched any of it.
Ciel looked up and realized Alois had finished eating and was watching him.
That caused him to blink and stand.
He grabbed both plates and walked over to the counter, putting one in the sink and wrapping the other before placing it in the fridge and closing the door.
Ciel rinsed off the dish and put it in the dishwasher as he cleaned the pans as well.
He looked back at Alois and sighed. "Sorry... I'm.. Not really in the mood for company right now."
This always happens... Does he realize that I'm even here...? Obviously not.
He closed his eyes as these thoughts just poured into his head.
It's like i don't even exist... He's never home.. He doesn't call.. He treats me like I'm not here when he IS home...
He sighed as he leaned back against the counter, arms crossed gently over his chest as he stared down the tiled floor in the kitchen.
Maybe i should just get my own apartment... I mean, hell. I have the money for it...
He continued to think to himself.
He sighed heavily as he closed his eyes.
He refused to cry, especially in-front of someone he hasn't known for a long time.
He inhaled again to control his feelings but he didn't open his eyes as more and more thoughts popped into his head.
He'd probably be better off without me. Hell, it's like he doesn't even have a child...
He thought as his eyes opened to that thought.
"Yeah... He doesn't..." He hadn't even realized that he spoke out loud as he looked off to the side.
Ciel sighed as he turned back around to face the sink and turned off the water that he had left running.
He watched the last of the water run down the drain.
Alois watched quietly from the table.
He wasn't exactly sure what was going on inside Ciel's mind but he had a pretty good idea.
The thought of it made him sad for Ciel, but he knew even after such a short time, that Ciel didn't want to hear something like that coming from an almost perfect stranger.
Ciel turned back around with a slight smile on his face.
He hated when people could tell something was wrong with him.
"Shall we get back to practicing then..?" He asked.
Alois smiled and nodded his head before clasping his hands together and looking at Ciel dreamily.
"Sure thing, Romeo. I bet you can't wait to perform that scene with me. Can't you just picture it? Me on a balcony in the moonlight?"
"J-just get back up to my room!"
"Oh! Eager aren't we?"
"What?! S-shut up Alois! Just go!"
Alois laughed all the way up the winding staircase to Ciel's room.
Ciel followed behind the blonde haired boy; his right eye twitching.
Sunday rolled around, the boys practiced a little bit more before Alois had to return home.
Ciel was getting ready for bed.
As he layed down, he immediately pictured him and Alois in bed with each other again, just like the previous night.
In his mind he could clearly see the other boys face, eyes droopy and tired, out of focus, as he lay down next to Ciel.
He snuggled very close and Ciel could almost feel the warmth of his body.
He vaguely thought how nice it had been.
He sat up quickly and twitched.
"Why the hell am i imagining something like that!?" he shouted.
He knew no-one would hear him since no-one was home.
He huffed slightly and laid back down, trying to keep the blonde from re-entering his thoughts as he tried to fall asleep.
Ciel woke up before his alarm even went off.
He glanced at it tiredly; it read '6:57 am.'
"...3 more minutes and it would've gone off..." he said.
He sighed as he turned the alarm clock off and got up to take a shower.
Once finished he made himself breakfast; something he doesn't do often.
Keeping a keen eye on the clock in the kitchen; he left at 7:30 this way he'd get to school before 8.
Ciel was known to always be early.
He stepped out of the house and uncharacteristically locked the door before turning to go down the steps... then turned right back around and cursed himself for locking the door.
"CIEEELLL!" Alois screamed.
"Gooood Mooooorniiiiing!"
Ciel's eye twitched... again.
Could he not find freedom from this insufferable boy?!
"...Hello Alois..."
"I came to walk you to school!"
Alois wore a bright and cheery smile on his face as he looked at Ciel.
Ciel sighed and nodded as he reluctantly walked down the steps.
He shoved his hands in his pockets as Alois chased after him.
They set off in the direction of the school building, Alois humming and practically skipping along with Ciel.
Ciel sighed; he could tell that this was going to be a long day.
The sky started gushing water just as they were arriving at the building.
They ran the rest of the way up the steps and to the door to avoid the watery onslaught.
They got onto School Property fifteen minutes later.
There were a few other students here, but not very many.
After-all; School doesn't start for another 15 minutes.
Once they reached the lobby of the school, Ciel looked back out the door.
'Great... Even more rain...' He thought to himself while letting out an audible sigh.
He turned back around and headed off in the direction of his locker; he put everything away that he didn't need until after lunch.
When Ciel was finished at his locker, he headed off to Study Hall with Professor Will.
Professor Will always took this class time to review what they had learned the previous day.
Ciel took his seat near the back of the room as Professor Will began to speak.
Ciel gazed out the window as Professor Will's voice droned on in the background.
Endless numbers and equations.
It was raining again.
Suck fickle weather they'd been having lately.
He stared down at the glassy puddles, trying to ignore the dark figure rocking back and forth on a lemon yellow duck near the jungle gym.
–
Undertaker sat out in the rain, droplets of it forming on the ends of his bangs before falling to the ground.
He didn't understand why the children wouldn't be allowed to play outside today.
Such nice weather.
The large rusted spring of the duck groaned loudly as he continued to rock, holding onto the handles protruding from the plastic creatures' head.
Undertaker cackled at it.
"Hehehehehe. I know, Duckie. You're my friend too."
He rocked back and forth, mumbling to the duck as the rain began to fall with more force onto the pavement.
