I finished chapter 6 for you :) Happy birthday! uh. yeah. There is a surprise at the end. You will. FREAK. This is mostly Alois thinking, but the end is Ciel for a little bit.
I own none of Black Butler. (If I did, there would be Aliel in it..)
~~ALOIS'S P.O.V. ~~
We continued our ride back to the manor at a brisk pace. We're making good time so far. I looked outside at the flooded fields and the dark and cloudy sky. I knew the case would be solved quickly. The police are terrible at their jobs. I only agreed to help them with the case to impress Ciel. At least earn myself a little respect from him. I want him to know I'm not just a stupid child. I actually do have a usable brain. Why else would the Queen put her trust in me?
Now that the case was over, we have to pet sit for the Viscount Druitt. Fun…
We noticed the carriage slowing down. We stopped. I looked out to see my manor, but the Viscount was admiring some new garden statue by the front door. He seemed to be deep, in his own world. The substitute carriage driver opened the door for us and I looked to see Claude arriving back from catching the murderer. He almost came out of nowhere.
"Your highness."
"Claude."
Then we approached Aleister Chamber and noticed a huge lump of groomed white fur in his arms that reeked of perfume. That must be his cat.
Aleister Chambers talked for what seemed like an hour before my butler cut him off and asked him if he could bring the feline inside. We finished everything up, had him leave, brought the cat into my office, and prepared for the rest of the evening.
The cat was dreadful. Not even Ciels butler, Sebastian, liked the damn creature! It never did anything. All it did was lay around the floor like a dead animal, got hair everywhere, and it scratched me twice! Granted I might have deserved it, because I tried to tie ribbons in his fur. I knew Ciel thought the cat was boring too, but he just kept away to avoid any threats to his health because of his asthma and allergies.
When it came time to feed the animal, I had Claude do it. As Aleister Chambers put it, 'You must only feed him the most luxurious of meats, or he will be tainted! He is like a delicate flower growing in the warm rays of the sun.' …blah…blah…blah…
When it was time to brush it, I had Claude do it. 'With only the finest equipment ordered from French designers.'
When it came time to bathe it, I had Claude do it. He was only allowed to use lilac soap with rose petals soaking in the water. 'He can only use the most gentle imported sponge on the cats soft fur'…
Claude was easily annoyed, so I enjoyed the sight.
I might've normally asked Sebastian to do it but, I didn't want to bother him. He wasn't my butler anyways. After everything was done, it was almost time for the Viscount to pick the creature up. Until then, Ciel and I relaxed in my office with the cat in another room.
"Why do we have to do this, again?"
"It's because he had a party to go to and he didn't trust his servants looking after his 'prized possession'. That's where we come in." I inform him. He's kind of slow sometimes. I heard a knock on the office door.
"Come in."
It was the Viscount. Finally. I quickly had Claude get him the cat and shove him out the door. I'm glad that ended quickly. Now Ciel and I can unwind with a picnic. I can't wait. Before that, I must give Claude orders, so I called him into the office.
"Claude, prepare a nice picnic for Ciel and I, would you?"
"Yes, your highness…" and he left to fulfill my orders.
I know what to do while we wait. Let's play a game. A board game!
"Ciel, will you play a game with me?"
"Why do you want to do that?"
"While we wait, or I'll be bored. I'm not fun when I'm bored…"
"Fine. But, it seems a bit childish." That hurt… He's so cruel sometimes.
"I'm not childish," I say sternly, "What do you want to play?"
"Chess?" Ugh. Chess is so boring.
"You don't want to play something else…?"
"Honestly, no. Chess is good to learn strategy, and knowing your enemy. It's a good game."
"If it's the only thing you'll play, then I suppose…"
I pulled the game out of a drawer in my desk. It was very nice, black and white marble spaces and playing pieces. Ciel would have too much fun playing a game as dull as this, but I'll do whatever he wants, because it will pay off in the end.
We played for what must've been an hour. I don't even remember if Claude came in to tell us the picnic is ready. The score was tied. Game after game I would win, then him, then me, then him. We were perfectly matched…
Our last game ended. A knock sounded into the room through the door. Claude walked it.
"The food must be ready," I announce with a smile, "Ciel, follow me."
I grabbed his hand and lead him to the courtyard. Outside, Claude set a picnic table up in my garden of bluebells. On it, there was a large picnic basket and tea. I ran closer, dragging Ciel close behind. We sat down on a soft blanket and I examined the insides of the basket. A simple meal. Some little appetizer sandwiches, some fruit and various sweets, like cookies. Next to the basket were two pearly and polished tea cups filled to the brim with tea. A little cloud of heat swirled around above them like it was dancing.
I slowly noticed the sky turning from the earlier gray to a light sunset purple. It was getting late. I started eating and saw Ciel was nearly finished. I took a sip of tea to help wash down my food, but It was too bitter for my taste. I needed a sugar cube. I looked around the basket but didn't see the glass jar that contained them. I moved the basket over an inch to took around. My fingers investigated the containments of the basket, but nothing in there either.
"Ciel, I'm going to fetch the sugar cubes. Don't move until I get back." I smiled at him. He nodded. When will he stop nodding?
I quickly ran inside my manor for sugar. I have no other intentions than to sweeten my tea.
~~CIEL'S P.O.V.~~
So far I was having a decent time. I was glad we got the case finished and that hideous cat out. It's nice to finally unwind.
When Alois left, I looked around to check if he might've misplaced the jar by accident. I was right; the jar of sugar cubes was behind the basket. I felt a sigh come up and I picked myself up from the warmth of the blanket beneath me.
I slowly strided forwards and felt a calm breeze come over me. I shivered and stepped forward again, but at a slower pace to feel the cool air.
Alois. Alois running outside, but colliding with me. The jar I held fell to the ground and shattered into tiny little shards spread all over the earth. His speed knocked me to the gravel upon which I stood and he fell on top of me. I felt sharp pains on the palms of my hands from the glass. There was blood. My eye patch came undone and fell to the side, revealing my contract. His face was just inches from mine. I looked at him with shocked eyes. He returned the look. He didn't get up though. He just hovered, pinning me to the cold earth that held me. What's he doing…?
"Aloi-." I paused. I tried to lift my bloodstained hands up, but failed. The pieces of glass were cut deep, but I didn't really feel the pain.
I felt heat all around me. Alois still stood locked in position. I was just realizing how my coat had ripped and my skin was cut when it happened. I was completely helpless. I couldn't move or speak. I had no idea what to do.
Alois leaned closer to me. I could feel his warm, unsteady breath on my skin. He kissed me.
