Hi hi hello don't mind me I just forgot how to spell for like six months,, I was really trying to get this to 1k but it's just gonna have to wait for a bit longer until I can get back on my feet.
It had been exactly two days since they dropped Rafael off when Ciel showed up on Alois' doorstep, accompanied by his fellow demon, Sebastian.
"Desperate, huh? What now?" Alois asked upon seeing Hannah show them into the parlor.
"That Toni girl, the bitch. I knew there was something fishy about her when she threatened us without reason." Alois raised an eyebrow at Ciel's use of the swear.
"You cursed and I didn't even have to get you worked up! Alright, you have my attention... go on, what's so bad about this Toni girl that you came to me to rant about her?" Alois took a sip of his tea.
"She's Claude's daughter." Ciel said, sighing through his nose as he threw himself down on the other end of the sofa that Alois sat on.
Alois spit out his tea. "Damn it, this was my nice Pink Floyd T-shirt too. Claude's daughter, aye?" Ciel nodded, gesturing to Sebastian for the paperwork. "We have to go back to school, Alois, which I'm sure you're happy about. Sebastian and Hannah have taken the role of our legal guardians."
"What do you expect to do about her? I wouldn't think her to be a big threat unless she's raised by him—which she isn't, since he's nice and dead."
"Presumably", Sebastian began. "Though, of course, you have to see the bigger picture to really understand—which, unfortunately, humans cannot quite comprehend."
"What the fuck, Sebastian? If you're going to insult me, at least do it in a way that is even remotely funny." Alois spat. "Anyway," taking a deep breath, he continued, "the bigger picture. Alright. So there's something you can see that I can't. Why do you need my help?" Ciel smiled.
"Hannah, bring in the wardrobe!"
•••
An hour and two fist fights later, Alois sat in a frilly pink dress with a pigtailed wig and makeup powdered over his face.
"First of all," He started. "I find this sexist and demeaning. Second of all, it's been over a century, can you please let that go? You cross dressed too!"
Ciel shivered. "And was hit on by your cousin. No thanks. No, you can go in as Toni's new best friend, I'll play the emo kid like I did back in 2007 when I had to go to Harvard for a murder case."
"What?" Alois asked. Ciel shrugged it off. "Not important. Anyway, I don't think this is what popular girls look like now-"
"Oi, young master, I haven't been in a mansion this big since–what year is it?" Finny asked. Ciel didn't know if he was asking so he could do the math or because of the dress Alois was in.
"It's still 2017. I know, the dress has me confused too. Why can't I just be a tomboy or, you know, my gay old self?"
"Gay best friend? I mean... isn't that kind of insensitive?" Ciel asked.
"Since when have you been worried about other people's sensitivity? You burnt down a building full of children for fucks sake!" Alois griped, pulling off the dress to reveal the boning underneath. (A/N lmao I read this after six months and I thought it said,, well you can imagine what I thought it said)
"You burn down a building one time..." Ciel grumbled, handing Alois back his clothing. "Whatever. Just- meet us in the car. We'll explain it on the way to the school."
