HOLY CRAP ON STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE! I love you guys!
A special thank you to Unique Pain for her help and support and for coming up with useful ideas for this story ^^
Oh! I didn't forget about you lot! Thanks so much for reviewing, keep it up! :)
"I'm here to see Honey Fairfax, my girlfriend."
Mey-Rin tilted her head slightly to the side before glancing at the clock and back at Alois with an apologetic look on her face.
"I'm very sorry sir, but visiting hours are already over."
Alois paused for a moment. He didn't expect to hear that response but he was far from thinking of walking out that door without seeing his 'girlfriend' smiling at him, as he expected to see. He lowered his head trying to look very upset which caused Mey-Rin to stammer.
"B-But you can come back tomorrow, yes you can!" she stuttered while waving her hands in a panicked state. Alois sighed deeply.
"I guess but...it's just I've been so worried about her. I was hoping I could comfort her if only for a minute. I wanted to make sure she was okay." He tried to make his tone as pleading as possible, hoping he could fool the receptionist with his act, and it successfully worked.
"Oh my...that is so sweet!" she gushed.
"Mmhm," Alois hummed, "I have to be there for her. She'll be completely alone without me."
Mey-Rin clutched where her heart was. "That is so romantic, it is."
"So can I see her?" he asked innocently whilst tapping his foot impatiently on the floor.
"Well…." Mey-Rin tapped her chin and paused for a moment, and then she smiled understandingly. "For a few minutes I suppose, she's in room 68 on the third level."
Alois smiled. "Thanks ma'am."
Mey-Rin took a bright red flower from a vase beside her. "Why don't you give her this?" she offered, handing the flower to Alois. He nodded as his smile turned into a smirk.
"Yeah, I think I will."
And off he went with a devilish grin along with his devilish scheme plotting in his head.
The teenager was swept in darkness for a while until she drowsily opened her eyes. It turned out, according to the darkened sky outside the window, that she fell asleep for almost two hours. She could hear someone talking, or sniggering to be correct, followed by an aggravated groan that sounded like Ciel. She raised her arms and made a high-pitched noise as she stretched.
"You sound like a baby dinosaur when you wake up."
Her eyes widened with shock. She recognised that voice. Oh yes she did. When her eyes adjusted she gasped with fright when she saw Alois peering at her face.
"JESUS TAP-DANCING CHRIST!" she exclaimed causing him to jump back like a startled animal, pointing at him with her eyes and jaw wide open. "What are you doing here?!"
"You spoke my mind perfectly," Ciel grumbled, glaring daggers at Alois.
"I'm here to see you of course! Is that such a crime?" he said while ignoring Ciel's annoyed scrutiny. He moved closer to the teenager's bed which made her shy away anxiously, not that there was really much escape due to her broken leg.
"What's that?" she questioned when she noticed the flower Alois held in his hand.
He grinned and handed it to her. "For you, my dear."
My dear?! Why don't you tell me that once you get out of Fantasia Land?!
"Uh….thanks…." she muttered as she took it.
Geez! Stop being so bloody polite! She scolded in her thoughts. Alois ogled her plastered leg for a while before breaking out into a happy smile.
"So, how's the hospital been?" he asked cheerily, oblivious of his role which meant comforting her instead of putting on a joyous display in front of his incapacitated 'girlfriend'. The teenager furrowed her eyebrows at him.
"Oh yeah, it's cool, apart from the fact that I can't move my leg and it's numb as hell," she replied with an edge of annoyance in her tone. She then arched an eyebrow questionably. "Wait, how long have you been here?"
"Well," Ciel spoke undoubtedly, "He told me a ten minute story though actually it felt like more than an hour about how he was your boyfriend, and then he spent the next five minutes pulling my hair." He folded his arms and narrowed his eye. "I don't like him."
"Your roommate's a bit of a sour puss though," Alois huffed, evidently cutting off another anger wire.
"Don't say that like I'm not here!" Ciel shouted.
"But it's true," Alois said shrugging his shoulders, "You get angry over nearly everything, it's like you have a temper disorder."
"You shut your mouth you brat!"
"See? C'mon, Honey, tell me you don't see it."
"I'm about to throw something at you if you don't shut up right now!" Ciel threatened. Alois burst into a fit of laughter.
"You?!" he laughed, "Don't piss with me here! I get the kitty can bark but face it, you're practically weak against me!"
Ciel's eye twitched. "What did you call me?"
Alois smirked tauntingly. "What? Weak?"
"No, before that, you called me 'kitty', you bastard."
Alois snickered and folded his arms. "Yep. Like it? It suits you well. I mean you can certainly hiss like one. I wonder if you're going to grow out claws."
"Why you!"
Ciel was about to attack Alois with a pillow when he was suddenly stopped by a furious shout.
"ENOUGH!"
Both of them stopped when the teenager yelled, silencing them, especially Alois. She met his stunned face angrily.
"Leave him alone, Alois," she scowled, "You can't just say things like that to people, especially when they are weaker than you! Seriously! You're acting like a playground bully!"
Her sentence surprised both Alois and Ciel.
Thanks for the helpful assistance, calling me weak, Ciel thought sardonically.
"And Alois, I am NOT your girlfriend."
Her ex-boyfriend blinked.
"Woooah, wait, what?" he asked raising his eyebrows. "Did you just say-"
"You heard me."
She folded her arms keeping her glare and took a breath after her outburst. Alois's mouth opened and closed, his eyes filled with confusion.
"But I thought you were happy."
At this the teenager practically laughed at his statement.
"Alois, dearie, look where I am. I'm lying in bed in a freaking hospital with a broken leg that you caused. Remember that? It still hurts by the way. And more than that, you still think we're going out! We NEVER went out since then! And I think I made it pretty clear in the music room that I don't want to go out with you again! Can't you get a fucking clue?!"
Alois was left speechless as he gawked at his furious ex-girlfriend, except this time he believed that was her title. Ciel also had no words to say.
"Really? Is that….how you really feel?" Alois asked, receiving a firm nod from her. He sighed and gazed out the window seeing her annoyed face in the reflection.
"I suppose I can't change your feelings," he said before his eyes narrowed, almost with determination. "But on the other hand you can't change my feelings."
"That's great, can you go now?" Ciel interrupted with a scowl.
"I won't leave until Honey realises she made the wrong decision."
"And how exactly have I made the wrong decision?" The teenage girl pierced her eyes at Alois's like a pair of swords. "In fact I think I made a pretty damn good decision."
"You'll see sweetheart," Alois said. She rolled her eyes.
"Yeah, I'll definitely see once I kick you when my leg heals!"
Alois grinned and proudly looked at Ciel. "See how feisty she is? That's why I chose her, and that's why no-one else will replace her."
Uninterested Ciel didn't respond and instead glanced over at the now more interesting door that suddenly opened. All eyes went on Sebastian who entered the room with a polite smile at Alois.
"Mr Trancy, I'm afraid visiting hours are over now. Please finish up so our patients can rest."
Alois sighed and nodded. "If I must." He turned to the teenager with a smirk and a wink, and a glare towards Ciel, before exiting the room as the eyes of his ex-girlfriend burned with anger at the back of his head. The door shut with a click and Ciel threw his head against the pillow.
"Finally," he breathed, "I thought that idiot would never leave."
"I apologise about that. Normally we don't extend an extra hour, however the fire alarm went off in the foyer so it was only safe that he remained in this room until everything was clear. You both must be tired." Sebastian approached Ciel's bed and with a push of a button lowered half of the mattress to a more comfortable position. The boy yawned as Sebastian pulled the blanket over his body, making the teenager smile stupidly at what she saw.
"Aww," she cooed.
"Be quiet," Ciel murmured irritably.
Sebastian smirked as he closed the curtains and walked to the teenager's bed, observing the red flower beside her. He picked it up, holding it delicately between his fingers.
"A rose," he alleged eyeing the prickly thorns on the stem. "I guess that he gave this to you, although it would have been courteous of him if he removed the thorns."
Placing it down, Sebastian repeated the same actions he did with Ciel, naturally causing a faint blush to appear on her cheeks.
"Is he a close friend of yours?" he asked.
She paused for a moment. "I…I know him," she said.
Sebastian raised an eyebrow and then an amused smirk crept to his lips. The teenager found she was blushing again and had a feeling he noticed, for the smirk grew wider.
"You know him as whom exactly?"
"I…well…." She sighed. "We used to be…."
"Are you two finished?! I'm trying to get some bloody sleep!"
The two glanced at where the noise came from which was Ciel's bed. Sebastian chuckled and the girl giggled when he did. At the moment she wasn't paying attention to her brain nagging her not to fall for the doctor's charms, because it was downright impossible. With a swift swing, Sebastian pulled the curtains around her bed as she stared at the roof with a tired smile on her face. Her eyes caught Sebastian plucking the rose and smelling the scent from the petals; she couldn't ignore the fact that he looked incredibly dreamy and wondered if he was married. The happy feeling immediately dimmed when she thought of that.
"Perhaps it'd be better if it was in a vase with water in it," he said thoughtfully, "We wouldn't want it to wither, would we?"
"You can keep it. I don't want it," she said with a yawn and hazily closed her eyes for a few seconds, and after opening them she saw Sebastian near the curtains with the rose tucked in his breast pocket, tilting his head to the side.
"Are you sure about that? It is a lovely flower after all. You should keep it, it can brighten up this room at least, and if I may add it does seem a little discourteous to reject an offer like this."
The girl looked away feeling a bit embarrassed. "Well….I really wouldn't call it an offer…."
"Is that so? It certainly seems like one if you ask me." He smiled genuinely at her. "But I suppose you're too exhausted to dwell on that, aren't you?"
She nodded, feeling glad that the subject of Alois was coming to an end. Before Sebastian left her sight he gave the girl another smile which made her heart flutter.
"I hope you have pleasant dreams, Honey."
She widened her eyes after he disappeared and she heard footsteps heading towards the door, and when the lights flickered off and the door shut gently, she was left in darkness again.
He…he said my name.
She was also left with a wide smile, possibly the widest smile she had ever smiled before.
