HELLO. HERES CHAPTER 9. YEA. That's it. um. I hope you like it. Oh, this is only Alois's Point of View. :)

I own none of the Black Butler things.

I WISH I DID THOUGH!

~~ALOIS'S P.O.V~~

I woke up the next morning feeling pretty good. Something was different… What was it? I rubbed my eyes and yawned. I looked around. This wasn't my room. I got out of bed and noticed pillows and blankets beneath my feet. Now I remember. Well- not all of it…

I was waiting for Ciel to finish his paperwork so I could tell him goodnight, but I guess I was too tired and I fell asleep on the floor behind his chair… I guess he must've moved me to the bed and slept on the floor. He's so sweet sometimes .I smiled at the ground below my feet.

I walked out into the hallway and headed to my room. I got ready by myself today. I was about to but on my coat and noticed the ring on my finger. I was happy to have it. It reminded me of Ciel… The color of his eyes and the fact that he gave it to me… I slid it on my finger tighter. It isn't my size, but I don't care…

I finally walked to the dining room where Ciel sat, reading the same boring book that he read every morning, and drinking a cup of tea.

"I'm guessing you didn't sleep very well?" I laugh as I sit down.

He looked up from his book, "Not particularly. I would've slept better if you didn't fall asleep on my bedroom floor."

"Don't blame me," I smirked, "You could've just left me on the floor..."

"What kind of guest would I be if I did something as inconsiderate as that? I wouldn't want to take after my host." I held my hand to my chest.

"Ouch, Ciel. That hurts."

I just laughed quietly and finished my breakfast. I left Ciel in the dining room and walked to my study. I advanced toward my desk and grabbed my schedule up and read it. I guess I won't be at home for much longer. I have to go to a stupid meeting with a bunch of bloody morons, leaving Ciel for the afternoon.

I ambled back to the dining room where Ciel was still reading that dull book.

"Ciel, I have to leave soon for some stupid meeting soon, okay?" I announce as I sit again.

"That's fine. When will you be back?"

"Ugh, I don't know. I hope as soon as possible."

"Well, I'll be here." Then Claude walked into the room. I wonder where he goes when he isn't in my sight.

"We should get going now, your highness."

"Alright, Claude." I announced and walked to Ciel to hug him and kiss his cheek, "Goodbye Ciel." I followed my butler out the manor door and entered the carriage drawn by two black horses.

The ride was fairly short. We arrived at the building that the meeting was being held and knocked on the front door. A few moments later a tall man greeted us. I didn't care to remember his name. Everyone here just wants my money… If they try anything 'funny', I'll make them pay. They can wear the cute innocent act as long as they want, but I see through it like a polished window. They'll try anything to take my money from me, just because they still don't believe I'm the real heir to the Trancy name. Claude was left outside. I was lead into a large, dimly lit room. In the middle of the room was a long table and four people sat along the edges.

"Ah, earl Trancy. Nice to see you today." One of the men obviously lied. They don't like me. They think I'm too young and childish to have such a high and important role in our society.

"Yes, now what was it you wanted to discuss?" I ask with false interest as I sit down with the group.

"Oh, it's nothing of much importance. If you wish to talk about the matter later, we have papers for you." He slid a small bunch of papers across the table to me. I picked them up and quickly looked them over.

"Why didn't you just send them to me rather then call me here?" I ask a little irritated. These people are so stupid. They just don't want to talk about me in front of me, if that makes any bit of sense.

"We thought it would be easier, since you live so close to here, and we thought you may have questions for us."

I looked up from the papers, "Well, I'll read these and get back to you soon. It was nice to see you. Goodbye." I just wanted to get back home to Ciel, so I'm not going to waste any more time here. I stood up from my chair and headed out the room and followed Claude outside to the carriage.

While we rode off in the carriage I began to read a few of the papers the men gave me. I only skimmed, but it looks like I was right. They want my money. It's always money… I was also right about how they think I'm not the son of the former head Trancy. They're such morons. They actually believe they can trick me into giving them more money? I ripped the stack in half and laughed. Such bloody morons… I'm not giving them anything. They can't just take away my status that easily.

I glanced out the window and set the ripped papers on the seat beside me. The sky was dark. Such an evil presence in the sky makes me sick. It was probably rain soon… In that case I hope we get home soon. I looked at my blue ring and remembered how Ciel was there for me last time it stormed. I smiled and hoped he would be there again, even though I hate to show weakness to anyone.

I heard the horses hooves come to a steady halt. I guess we're home. I stepped out of the carriage with the papers and took slow steps toward the front door until I felt a single drop of cold water fall on my cheek. Then another... And another.

I ran as fast as I could inside and shut the door behind me. Claude can come in from the back. I ran straight to my room from the front door and threw the ripped stack of papers on the floor. I was loud though. Ciel probably heard me, but I closed my bedroom door. I heard loud rain hit the roof and thunder in the distance. I cuddled up to the blankets and pillows on my bed and tried to cover my ears. I felt tears, that I couldn't control, roll down my cheek and I clenched my eyes shut.

I heard a loud knock at my door, "Alois, are you okay?" he sounded panicked. I guess he remembered I'm not too fond of storms…

I didn't respond. I was silently clenching my pillow so close to me that I felt I was nearly suffocating myself.

I heard the door swing open. Ciel pulled the blankets off of me and sat next to me on my bed, hugging me tightly. He pulled the pillow from my grasp to get closer.

"You're going to have to learn, the storm can't hurt you, because I won't let it hurt you, Alois… You're completely safe." I smiled as he wiped tears off of my cheek.

I heard much louder thunder now, it was closer. I didn't open my eyes, so I couldn't see the flashes of lightning, which calmed me a little. What really calmed me was Ciel. He was so warm and comforting. With Ciel hugging me, I felt the rain stop, in my mind, and I saw only him and me. It made me happy. Then I was snapped back into reality by another roar of thunder and more tears escaped my eyes. Ciel pulled away from me and sat in front of me, looking me in the eye. I wish he hadn't let go. I feel empty now.

"Alois, you're alright," He wiped more of my tears away, "I won't let anything harm you because…" He hesitated, "-I lo-... I-I care about you." He pulled me closer to him and he kissed my cheek. His kiss made me forget about the rain completely. I had pure happiness in my heart and I stopped crying. He stopped kissing me and he hugged me again. I don't know how long he hugged me but I finally fell back onto the bed and I fell asleep wrapped in his arms. Falling asleep to the now, gentle, pitter-patter of rain drops.

I cared about him, too.

I loved him.

A/N: I ALWAYS FEEL WEIRD WHEN I WRITE THE FLUFFY JUNK.

I hope you don't hate me.

My cat hates me.

Because i'm Forever Alone.
