"What's the plan?" Fangurl wondered.
"We use bait to lure in the demons, and just about when they think they'll have their way with the bait, we attack and kill them with our scythes," Eric explained. "The only problem is, is that we don't have bait."
"Well you're not using Alan, the poor thing has already been through enough already," Fangurl stated.
"Fangurl what other choice do we have?" Grell asked.
"No, I'm putting my foot down on this one, you aren't putting Alan anywhere near those bastards again," Fangurl firmly said.
Unknown to any of them, Alan had slipped out of Fangurl's room and was listening outside the room. "What do you suggest we do then?" William questioned as he pushed his glasses up.
"Use me instead," Fangurl responded. The room fell silent. Even Ciel and Sebastian were startled by her response. Alan felt his heart pound at the thoughts of what those demons might try to do to Fangurl.
Using all his strength, Alan stumbled into the room fell at the girl's legs. "No, you can't go, they will hurt you. I can't lose you, not now, not after everything that's happened," Alan cried.
Fangurl knelt down next to the brunette and wrapped her arms around him. "Nothing will happen to me, everything will be alright. I'd much rather sacrifice myself than live with the fact that I sent you back to literally face your demons again," she whispered.
The Shinigamis, Ciel, and Sebastian were surprised and shocked to see Alan reach up and kiss Fangurl's lips. "I can't lose you; I wouldn't want to go on without you," he replied.
"You won't lose me, I'll go and murder those sons of bitches for doing this to you, and then I'll come back home, hold you close to me, and take care of you until you've healed," Fangurl promised. Turning back to the other Shinigamis, she then asked "When do you want to put the plan into action?"
"Tomorrow evening," William stated. "We'll arrive around five to retrieve you and more than likely won't be back til Tuesday."
"Alright, I'll be ready," Fangurl promised. After the Shinigamis left, Fangurl and Alan returned to her room. Alan was silent as he lay down on Fangurl's bed and buried his face in her pillow.
"You're still upset about this aren't you?" Fangurl asked quietly as she sat down beside him and began to rub his back. He nodded against the head cushion. Fangurl sighed. "Sweetie, nothing will happen."
Alan's head shot up as he looked at her with tears rolling down his cheeks. "You don't know that. Those demons are relentless; they will tie you up and hurt you like they did me. I can't live with myself if that happens to you Fangurl!" he yelled. The Shinigami dropped his head back onto the pillow as he sobbed loudly.
Fangurl laid down beside him and pulled the brunette closer to her. Alan tucked his head under her chin and cried into her chest as she stroked his hair. "I know you're scared, but those demons won't take me away from you. William, Grell, Ronald, and Eric won't let them hurt me. You trust your friends and you trust me, don't you?"
He nodded as his crying grew quieter. "Then trust that they'll protect me." Alan raised his head and leaned his face against the girl's. She gently kissed his lips as the moon rose outside the bedroom window.
