Hey guys! :D I'm back for another chapter yay c: Again, I thank you all for being so patient and understanding, I really love you guys xox. Well this chapter introduces another character that I'm sure you are all familiar with~~ (if you watched the anime that is) But as always, enjoy, and I hope to update on a more regular schedule.

Also, I post my updates on my tumblr pastprince. tumblr .com

Ciel was indescribable. He was a masterpiece all on his own. His skin was a beautiful blank canvas, just waiting for the violet hues of galaxies that only Sebastian could create. His misty eyes were filled to the brim with billions of stars; and Sebastian could've sworn that shimmering stardust alone ran through the bluenette's veins.

Ciel was beautiful. No-Ciel wasn't beautiful; he was the universe. He existed in every galactic bloodbath and bathed in the beauty that simply was… Ciel was celestial... and that's just the only way that Sebastian could describe him.

Maybe it was the sweet call of Sebastian that echoed through his dreams at night, maybe it was the soft numbness of a nightmare-less night, maybe it was the distraction of no longer needing tranquilizers when his thoughts plagued his sleep, or maybe it was simply that Ciel was getting better.

He wasn't sure why, but he felt a new feeling, almost a warm feeling inside of him every morning. He knew that he wasn't cured, and that this fix was probably temporary. It had happened in the past, Ciel would go a week, maybe two, without any nightmares or panic attacks and the doctor's would proclaim him as a "medical miracle." Yet then he would inevitably return to his previous state, insanity so strong, even the people around him were tainted by it.

But beyond all this, Ciel was sort of happy. Well, not happy per-say, but not sad, just…a calm sort of grey.

Ciel heard a light knock on his door. He wearily sat up on his bed, stretching his arms out in front of him with a quiet yawn.

"Ciel?" the intruder asked, who Ciel at once recognized as Sebastian.

"Mmm…" Ciel murmured, his goodnight sleep still tugging at his body, lulling him to lie back down.

Sebastian chuckled. "Seems like you got plenty of rest." He teased.

Ciel nodded his head. "Yes… it would seem so..."

Sebastian walked up to the side of Ciel's bed and handed him his routinely breakfast. "Scones or biscuits?" he asked, holding aside the trays.

Ciel took the main platter and replied "Scones."

After Ciel ate his breakfast and talked to Sebastian about the day's affairs, he got up to change into his clothes.

Sebastian stepped out of the room with an "I'll see you around lunchtime Ciel." And before he could stop himself, he stooped down to place a gentle kiss to the top of Ciel's forehead.

Once Sebastian exited the room, Ciel's lips pulled into a small smile. He then slipped on his clothes, and exited the room with his blind cane, trying to hide his smile all the way to the garden.

Ciel hadn't expected to meet another kid his age that was interested in him. He hadn't even expected the "Hey… you're Ciel right? I'm Alois."

Ciel numbly shook his head. He then turned to face the voice. And hesitatingly, he said quietly "Uhm yeah. I'm Ciel."

Alois narrowed his eyes when he saw the bandages wrapped around Ciel's head. With a silly grin he said "What are you doing wearing those bandages wrapped around your head like that silly?"

Ciel flinched. "I uh…" he began. "I'm-I'm blind…"

Ciel almost expected Alois to leave with an "I feel so sorry for you that's horrible. How do you live?" or a "You poor poor thing", like he's gotten before. But instead, Alois frowned a bit, and then plopped down right next to Ciel in the grass.

"Oh well I didn't know that, I'm sorry. But why are you here by yourself? You're too awfully cute to be alone like this!"

Ciel face immediately flushed pink at being called cute. "I am not…" he quietly muttered.

Alois cocked his head. "Cute or alone?" Alois paused then finished. "Well at least I can say that you're no longer one of those things."

"What?" Ciel asked.

"Alone you dork! I'm here now duh." Alois chirped.

Ciel bit his lip.

This kid… he thought to himself.

Alois nudged into Ciel's shoulder, but when he felt Ciel pull away, he eased up on the physical contact. Instead, he spoke up "So Ciel! How come I've never seen you here before? What are you here for anyway? I'm here because apparently I'm "a diagnosed sociopath with psychotic notions and self mutilating tendencies." Whatever that means." He shrugged.

Ciel tensed. "I uh… I don't know…" he murmured.

Alois frowned again. "Not one for talking really are you? That's okay; I like to talk, so I'll do all the talking for you!" He then broke into a bubbly, almost borderline maniacal laugh.

Jesus… Ciel thought This kid is insane… Yet secretly, Ciel didn't mind the even though, yes, Alois may be a deranged lunatic, at least he's honest. Ciel really respects honesty.

So Ciel sat and listened to Alois. He even let him thread dandelions through his hair, well, after he nearly begged him to do so. Once finished, Alois had squealed and told him how "absolutely adorable" he looked. This only caused for Ciel to turn 20 different shades of pink.

Yet once lunch time rolled around, Ciel rushed his goodbyes and headed back to his room. Alois had wanted to come with, but Ciel repeatedly told him no, there was only so much of the boy he could take.

Once Ciel got back to his room, he was pleased to be greeted by a smooth-voiced "Ready for lunch Ciel?"

Ciel nodded his head, and instinctively held out his hand, reaching for Sebastian's own. Sebastian smiled at the notion and took the bluenette's hand in his.

They didn't say a word to each other as they walked down to the cafeteria, and Ciel wouldn't want to have it any other way.

The rest of the day went by in a blur. Ciel had eaten lunch, then went to the garden again, (this time with Sebastian), read one of his few Braille books, and then returned back to his room for bed.

Ciel settled into the comforters and sighed. He was exhausted from all of the social interaction. Well first off he had actually met someone his age and talked to them. (well sort of) Then he had spent the rest of the day either with Sebastian or in the library reading, which is more interaction compared to his usual day spent hiding in his room.

Yet the good thing about being extremely exhausted is that one can fall asleep easily. This is especially good for a diagnosed insomniac like Ciel.

So Ciel laid his head down on his pillow, and let his drowsiness weigh his eyes finally shut…

Silence instantly developed in the room, and once Ciel was barely tittering on the edge of complete slumber, a quiet knock followed by a shrill "pssst!" was heard at his door.

Ciel groaned at the sound, yet decided to ignore it.

"Ciel!" the voice screeched in a hoarse whisper.

Ciel tossed his body, and covered his ears with his hands.

Ciel then heard the person move closer; and once his door was opened he then finally realized… someone is in my room.

Ciel immediately shot up and hissed "Who's there?"

The voice stepped up next to Ciel's bed. "Calm down! It's only me Alois!"

Ciel recognized the almost feminine edge to the person's voice. It was definitely Alois.

"Alois?!" Ciel shrieked. "What are you doing here? How did you find my room? How-"

Alois then shushed Ciel "Shhhh…! We don't want to get caught!"

"We don't want to get caught?!" Ciel half yelled through gritted teeth. "You are the one that snuck into my room in the first place!"

"Touché." Alois replied. Alois then shook his head. "But that's not the point. We are going on an adventure Ciel!" he cried excitedly.

"No way." Ciel immediately replied, sticking his face back into his pillow.

"Cielllll…" Alois whined.

"No. Now go away."

Alois pouted. Then a sly grin suddenly crept to his lips. "Well if you don't go… I'll tell everyone that you have a thing with Dr . Michaelis." he purred mischievously.

Ciel froze, his face grew red. "I-I most certainly do not have a thing with my doctor!"

Alois scoffed. "As if. I see the way that you guys look at each other and how he's always spending more time with you than any of his other patients… But that's neither here nor there, I really don't care that you have the hots for your doctor, I just want you to come with me."

"But… I don't want to." Ciel murmured.

"Well…" Alois toyed. He then began singing, singing pretty loudly at that "Ciel and Sebastian sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S"

"Shush shush!" Ciel interrupted. "You're going to get us caught!"

"Oh?" "So you're agreeing you are going to come?" Alois teased.

"I didn't say any such thing."

"But you used the word us. Which implies that we are practically in on this together now. So come with me, or get your little affair outed to the whole asylum, ultimately resulting in Sebastian probably getting fired and maybe even arrested…" "Who knows" Alois finished in a sing song voice.

Ciel groaned. "I guess I have no choice do I?"

Alois shook his head excitedly. "Now that's the spirit!" He then grabbed Ciel's arm. "Now come on you little dork!"

Alois then practically dragged Ciel out of his bedroom and then down the asylums dark and dismal halls, chanting quietly "We're going on an adventure! We're going on an adventure!" the whole way down.

Ooooh so we get Alois into the mix now~~ I wonder where this will go heh? C; But thanks for all of the reviews, favorites, and follows, I really do appreciate every single one I get and they encourage me to write. But ily guys, until next time!
