From Friends to Lovers: Alois x Ciel

Chapter 9

Alois's POV: When Ciel woke up, we talked for hours, and hobbies became our topic. "So, Alois, what's your hobby?"he asked me. "Hmm. I like art. I'm always either sketching or painting. Arty says I'm obsessed, and I think that's true." I smiled. "What do you like to do?"I asked him. "I'm actually quite musical. I play the violin, both electric and acoustic guitar, and the piano. I also sing a bit."he said, blushing. My jaw dropped. "That's it. I have to hear you sing. I need to hear you sing." Ciel's eyes rolled as he blushed harder. "I'm not that good. I'll bring you a CD of covers I made."he said. "But, I get one of your paintings." "Deal!" I said. I hung up the phone after saying goodnight and fell asleep.
Ciel's POV: I clutched the CD case in my hand and knocked on Alois's door. He answered it, and led me to his bedroom. I put my CD in the player, and sat on the bed. It was embarrassing, listening to myself sing, but Alois loved it. "How come you didn't tell anybody that you could sing like that?!"he asked me. I shrugged at him. "Can I keep the CD?"he asked. "Yeah, I have other cover CDs at home."I said. "I suppose you want your painting now, right?"he asked me. I nodded. He went to his closet, and pulled out a canvas. He had painted a meadow with a blue lake, and pale purple flowers. Exactly like the meadow I visited with my parents before they died. "I thought you might like this. It was inspired by the picture you brought on your first day here."he said. I hugged him. "Thank you. My parents died a long time ago, and now I have another thing to remember them by." I said, my arms wrapped around him. "You're welcome."he said, kissing me. Afterwards, I walked home with my new painting, tacked it up on my wall, and stared at it until I fell asleep.
