Hey! Due to it being December I wrote this. There is currently not a single drop of snow on the ground and it upset me only a little. I feel that my children should have some fun in the snow, don't you?


Mr. Chilly

It was a cold December day and despite the sun being out and shining down on the Phantomhive Manor, it did very little to melt any of the snow that had piled up.

Ciel sat on his bed, curled up in his blankets. The snowstorm last night had caused such a ruckus he couldn't' sleep. All the snow had forced him to cancel everything on his schedule too. The one good thing out of this was that he didn't have anything to do and he could spend the rest of the day catching up on his sleep.

Or so he thought.

"Ciel~! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!" A familiar blonde had burst into Ciel's room and so rudely began to bounce on the bed, shaking Ciel out of his slumber.

"Alois! Stop- Stop! Stop bouncing on my bed!" Ciel shouted angrily. The last thing Ciel wanted was to be woken up from his sleep. He was not a morning person.

"Sorry love. But you've got to get up!" Alois giggled, hopping off of Ciel's bed and running over to the window. He threw the curtains open and temporarily blinded Ciel with the sunlight. "Look at all the snow!"

Ciel groggily got up and moved over to the window. There was an abundance of snow all over the ground and in the tree's. He could see that his fountain had frozen over and now baby ducks were pecking at the ice. The only disturbance in the clear snow was Alois' footprints.

"Alright. What about the snow?" Ciel mumbled. "I'm not going outside. It's much too cold. I'm tired too." Ciel began to walk back to his bed when he was suddenly pulled back by his waist and pushed up against the glass of the window.

"But Ciel! Look! It's so pretty! We have to play in it! We have to!" Alois insisted.

Ciel pushed away from the window and scowled. "Why do you want to bring me so badly? Can't you go play by yourself?"

Alois frowned and glanced down at the ground. His bottom lip quivering. "But I don't want to play by myself… I want to play in the snow with you Ciel." Alois looked back up at Ciel with tear filled eyes. They were threatening to spill any moment.

Ciel sighed, annoyed with Alois' changing moods. "Fine. I'll play in the snow with you. But after this I'm going back to bed and I'm not getting up no matter what you say."

Alois smiled and wiped his eyes of the tears that were more or less fake. "Deal."


"Can I go back inside now?"

Alois looked up from the snow angel he had finished making and stared at Ciel. A frown formed on his lips. "Of course not! We just got out here! We haven't build a snow fort, or built any snow men!"

Ciel rolled his eyes. "Can't Sebastian do it?" The boy's hands were freezing despite being hidden in blue gloves and in his pockets.

"No!" Alois yelled. "That takes the fun out of it! Now c'mon! We need to knock the snow from a few trees." The boys began to trudge through the snow. Alois quicker than Ciel.

Eventually Ciel found himself in a little problem. He was short. He had smaller legs than Alois and he was gradually finding it harder to trudge in the snow that was up to his waist.

"Alois." Ciel called out, getting the blonde's attention. He sighed. "I think… I think, I'm stuck."

Alois stifled a laugh and moved back to Ciel's side. "Alright, so forget the snow fort. Let's build a snowmen. In snow that isn't waist deep for you." Ciel rolled his eyes and the two trudged back towards the manor where the snow wasn't as deep.

"Alright, so, how do we build a snowman?" Ciel asked, shivering a bit. He licked his lips and found he was in dire need of chap stick.

Alois smiled and got on his knees. He pushed some snow into a pile and shaped it into a ball, then he began to roll it around. "We need to make three of these snowballs. Each one smaller than the last. Now c'mere and help me."

Ciel walked over to the snowball and helped Alois roll it around in the snow. Once they deemed it big enough, they did the same for a second snowball, making it slightly smaller than the first and placed it atop the larger one.

"He's coming along nicely." Alois said, placing his hands on his hips, feeling proud of their work so far.

"How do you know it's a man? What if we're building a snow woman and not a snowman?" Ciel asked, watching Alois' proud stature fall.

"Well, uh…." Alois gave up and sighed. "Fine. I don't know. This thing we're building is a snow it. We'll find out the gender when we finish it."

"Sounds good to me." Ciel said, as he began on the third small snowball. Once he finished it, he had Alois put it on top, seeing as he was the tallest. "Now we need pebbles and sticks."

Both boys ran in opposite directions, Alois towards the trees to get sticks and Ciel over to the fountain where there were bound to be pebbles laying around. Ciel picked up about twelve pebbles and Alois gathered three decent looking sticks.

Once they came back together, Ciel stood on his tip toes and placed the pebbles on the snowit's head, making a smiley face. Alois stuck the sticks on the side of the snowit's body while Ciel put three in the middle so it would look like it was wearing a jacket.

Ciel put his hat on the snowit's head and Alois put his gloves on his sticks.

"Done." Ciel said, his ears turning red from the cold.

"Not quite young master." Came a voice from behind both boys. Sebastian stood there, his hands behind his back. He looked impressed at the sight of the boys work but really he was just amused at how red their faces were. They looked guilty, at least Alois did.

The man stepped forward and places a orange carrot in the snowit's face, completing the snowit all the way. Alois and Ciel went "Oh," and then Alois began to laugh.

"What's so funny?"Ciel asked, confused as to why the boy was laughing.

"It's not done!" Alois stepped forward and planted the last stick he had on the lowest part of the snowit, making it stick out like the carrot on the face, only it was-

"A penis!? Alois!"

"Hey! At least we know the gender now! It's a snowman!" Alois laughed, then his laugh turned into a cough. And as if on cue, Ciel sneezed.

"Let's get you two inside. It's cold out here."Sebastian said turning and walking back to the manor with both boys in tow. Alois wove his fingers with Ciel's and suddenly he felt a little warmer.

"What should we name it?" Alois whispered to Ciel, as if he were in trouble and he didn't want Sebastian hearing them talk.

"I don't know. I was thinking Mr. Chilly."

And that's what the name of the snowman continued to be until spring, when he began nothing more of a puddle. Mr. Chilly.
