Ciel's POV

I wake up and find myself in a field completely surrounded by blood roses. Where the hell am I?

"Ciel, what did you do?"

I turn and see Alois running towards me, his blue eyes shining with happiness. I run to him and pull him close to me.

"I couldn't bear to be away from you, it hurt too much," I tell him.

"So you killed yourself," Alois says in shock, "Ciel, what were you thinking? I could've waited longer to see you again."

"I wasn't thinking," I admit, "Not about anything other than you. I can't live without you, so I died so that I could see you again."

I claim Alois' lips with mine, he still tastes as sweet as ever. I pull him close as our tongues dance, we can be together now, forever. Nothing can come between us here. Alois pulls away from me and smiles.

"Ciel, come with me," he says, "There's someone here I want you to meet."

He takes my hand and brings me to the edge of the flower field near a river to where a little boy with red hair and brown eyes is skipping stones.

"Luka," Alois calls, "Come here for a second."

The little boy runs over to us and smiles, "What is it big brother?"

"I want you to meet Ciel. He's very special to me."

"Ciel?" he says and turns to me, "I'm Luka, it's nice to meet you."

"It's nice to meet you too, Luka," I say warmly.

"Big brother," Luka asks Alois, "Is Ciel gonna stay here with us?"

"Yes he is Luka," Alois says casting a glance my way, "I wouldn't want things any other way."

"Yay!" Luka yells, "Big brother finally found his prince!"

"What?" Alois says, turning red, "Luka, why don't you go skip stones a little longer? Ciel and I will be over shortly."

"Yes your Highness," Luka says playfully, "Talk to you later Prince Ciel!"

Luka runs off and Alois looks at me with embarrassment in his eyes.

"Sorry Ciel," Alois says, "Luka started calling me your Highness shortly before he died. I told him one day a prince or princess would come and make us feel good. But you know, I think he's right. You were the prince that came, the knight in shining armor that saved me from my suffering."

"But I wasn't able to protect you," I say, "I'm sorry, Alois. I didn't want Claude to ever hurt you, but he still managed to. I failed you."

"But you didn't fail me. How were you supposed to know Claude was gonna show up?"

"I shouldn't have sent Sebastian out. I should've waited until morning."

"Ciel, you just wanted to get Orphan to me. I don't blame you for what happened. So you shouldn't blame yourself either. And now we have all of eternity to be together. We can spend days together as a family. Just you, me and Luka, and at night, the two of us can be alone together."

"And by alone, you mean.."

"Whatever you want it to mean, baby," Alois says playfully, "This is paradise. And all of us can be happy here forever."

"All I want is for you to be happy," I say, and Alois smiles. I catch his lips again and pull him close. He's all I ever wanted, and now I can be happy with him forever.
