Well it's about time I wrote another oneshot. I found a prompt and I liked it so I wrote it. I warn you, the ending it kinda shitty. It's like...one in the morning, so please excuse any spelling mistakes! Technically the prompt called for something certain but I skirted around that and decided to go with the after effects.

Look at me, doing my best to not give out any spoilers. Oh I do try my hardest.

Ah-, I was going to say something else but I realized it would be a spoiler, so I'll shut up and let you read. :)


And I Was His Best Man

"Bah! Alois! Get off your lazy rump and come help me dig!"

With an annoyed sigh, Alois Trancy got up off the soft grass that he laid upon. It was such a nice day and he felt annoyed that he and his best friend had chose today to do this job. It wasn't too hot, nor too chilly, and the breeze was just right. He just wanted to sit and enjoy himself but no.

Dusting invisible dirt from his overalls, Alois picked up a stray shovel and walked over to the hole his best friend was currently in. Cornflower blue eyes met sapphire ones. "What's the matter Ciel?" Alois teased. "Can't stand a little dirty work?"

Ciel made a face. "What are you talking about? I've been digging all day! I think it's about time you help me!" Outraged that his Alois wasn't doing his part, Ciel Phantomhive climbed out of the hole, but fell back in. He cursed his short stature.

"Need a hand?" Alois chuckled, holding a gloved hand out to Ciel. Gratefully, the blue haired boy took it and climbed out, only to push Alois in. "Oh you're cruel." Alois chuckled from below.

Ciel picked up Alois' shovel and tossed it into the hole with the blonde. "I don't care. I'm at my limit and you need to contribute."

Alois laughed as he listened to Ciel crack open a bottle of water, and a pair of horses neighing in the distance. He shoveled a few dirt piles out of the hole, then laid in it. "Hey Ciel! I think this is big enough!" He yelled out.

Ciel peered into the hole and stared at Alois who was making dirt angels. "Get up before I throw the body on you Alois. I don't want to spend anymore time out here. It's getting late and once the sun goes down it gets cold."

With a noise of agreement, Alois clambered out of the hole and followed Ciel over to where the horses were tied to tree's, a small pile of apples at their hooves. Alois walked over to the horse with the brown coat and inky black mane. "Hey girl." He cooed, scratching the horse's ears. "Papa's hiding a body. Don't worry, when we get back home, I'll give you a nice bath, hmm? How does that sound?"

"Alois stop talking to Dancer and help me! I never knew Elizabeth could be so damn heavy! Honestly I think she's heavier when dead!" Ciel complained, pulling a body bag from the bushes. Alois lifted up one end while Ciel held the other and helped carry it over to the hole.

Before tossing it in, they pulled back the zipper and stared at the blue face of Elizabeth Midford. The girl had been wearing her favorite dress that day and what a shame it looked now. Stained with her blood.

Alois and Ciel stayed this way for a few moments. Recapping what they had done in the past few hours. Well, Alois was anyway. He remembered talking with Ciel, joking about how they should kill Elizabeth and be together forever He never knew Ciel would actually agree. After all, the woman was the blue haired boy's fiancee…

"Let's not stare at her any longer. She's dead to us." Alois said, breaking the silence.

"Pun intended?"

"Maybe."

With that, both boys pushed the body into the hole. It hit the bottom, making a soft thump noise. Ciel could have sworn he heard a few bones crack but that was the least of his concerns. Alois was already pushing dirt on top of her.

Ciel helped, shoveling all the disturbed dirt back into the hole. Once the hole was full again, the did their best to make the ground look as normal as possible. Eventually, with a enough stomping and beating the ground with a shovel, Alois and Ciel sat on the ground, exhausted from their work.

Ciel's stomach rumbled. "Do we have any apples left?" He asked. Alois shrugged and reached for his bag that hung off an odd branch of a tree. He pulled off his gloves before taking out two juicy red apples and handed one to Ciel.

Once again, Alois found himself laying on the ground, comfortable with the dirt and grass beneath him. He munched on his apple and sighed, feeling content and at one with the world. "Hey Ciel, let's get out of town." He finally said after a while.

Ciel furrowed his brow at the suggestion. "What?"

"Let's get out of town." Alois repeated, sitting up."We haven't really got anything important back at home, right? Not many friends, hardly a job, we're just another two guys in the world.

"Plus, it's a small town. Someone's gonna catch us." Alois explained, picking at the core of his apple. He pulled out a seed and rested it on his pants leg before tossing the core over to the horses.

Ciel sighed. "You have some point there." He bit his lip. A bad habit he had been trying to break. "But where are we gonna go?"

Alois shrugged. "Anywhere. We've got horses. We've got plenty of cash to last us a few months if we use it right. What's so bad about that? Two guys, two horses, living off of part time jobs, carrots, and apples." Carefully, he picked up the seed, pushed back some dirt where they had just buried Ciel's ex-fiancee, and buried the seed.

Ciel tossed his half eaten apple back and forth between his hands, thinking about what Alois had just said. Two guys, two horses, living off of part time jobs, carrots. and apples. That didn't' sound too bad to him. Someone's gonna catch us. That sounded like a jail sentence.

The boy looked back up at Alois with a smile. "Sounds great. Let's go." Ciel stood up and dusted himself off, earning a surprised looked from Alois. That blonde never expected Ciel to agree to do something with him twice in a row before.

"Wait, now?"

Ciel walked over to his own horse, Sebastian, and untied the ropes from around the tree trunk. "Sure. All we have to do is go back home, grab the stash of cash, burn some stuff, and we're off. Plus...I want to keep the photo I have of my family."

Alois smiled and got up himself, skipping over to Dancer and untying her. He helped Ciel onto his horse before getting on his own. The two rode out of the forest, then came upon a dirt road. The sun was beginning to set and it shined in Alois eyes.

Nice and bright. He was temporarily blind for a moment and he closed his eyes, being plunged into the darkness. He opened his eyes again, the bright light was gone, the gentle breeze was gone, the neighing of Dancer and Sebastian was gone. Even the dirt road before him was gone.

His overalls and boots were gone, replaced by a tight fitting tuxedo and stuffy shoes. His hair didn't have any sweat, blood and dirt in it, instead it felt clean. He didn't sit upon a horse, he stood on a hard tile floor. Next to him wasn't Ciel, it was another groomsman whose name he didn't care for.

Dammit. It didn't last. Alois mentally shook his head, cornflower eyes taking in the sight before him. Of course Ciel Phantomhive would go all out on his wedding decor. He would only have the best. And the woman he was marrying would only add to what Ciel already had, making it look a lot more lavish than any wedding in history.

There they were, in all of their pride and glory, Ciel Phantomhive, hand in hand with Elizabeth Ethel Cordelia Midford, stating their vows. To anyone else, the scene was rather cute and could make anyone smile.

It just made Alois' stomach churn.

He, Alois Trancy of all people, had managed to fall in love with his best friend who had practically been engaged since birth. Desperately Alois had tried to convince himself it as a strong brother bond and not love. Ah, but love it was. And the love stayed, forcing Alois into a whirlwind of emotions the closer Ciel's wedding day drew.

And now it was here. The 'I do's were said, rings exchanged, a second away and Alois would lose the man he loved to woman he was technically related to. Now I could stop everything, run up there, kiss Ciel, and make shit really awkward, ruining everything, but I won't. Alois thought, a painful smile on his face.

"I announce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride."

Those six little words were demons sent from hell to make Alois' life torture. And make torture they did. Alois did his best to look happy when all he wanted to do was break down and cry while everyone cheered, screamed and shouted in joy.

Alois would never forget what knew he would say in the future when talking about this day with them. Be it children, friends, or boyfriend, he knew he would say, "A while back, I was in love with a man who had been engaged to his cousin. During the wedding, I imagined killing the bride and riding off into the sunset with him on horses! Ah, and get this! I was his best man too!"
