Manufactured Miracle

One single point. One run. One step over the crease. That was all Blue House had over Green House. One single miracle play. And it brought people to their knees. The crowd roared to life with mad cheering and shouting, people clapping and screaming until their hands and throat were raw and aching. Tears welled up in the eyes of everyone, on and off the field. The thick glasses that sat on the faces of the Blue House team nearly fell off of every single one of their noses as they all ran as fast as they could to their bowler. Y/N and the others who had been brought to their knees scrambled to their feet and flew across the field with their teammates to Ciel. Y/N outran them all, her face wet with her sweat and tears, and her cheeks already starting to ache from how wide she was smiling.

Y/N couldn't feel the shouting that left her lips, nor the pain in her knees as she slid down onto them and skidded to a stop before Ciel, who was still laying on the ground. "Blue House won!" She called out with the rest of her team as the Lady threw her arms around the little Earl and pulled him into a tight hug. And she wasn't the only one. The rest of the team seemed to have finally caught up with Y/N, every last one of them throwing themselves into a dog-pile around the two. Clayton, Bluewer and Koward all had an arm around Ciel and Y/N, with Clayton burying his head in between the noble's and his glasses falling into Y/N's lap. It was a flurry of hands and arms, everyone trying to either hug Ciel or at least hold onto his hand. And even with a train of blood being smudged down his face, Y/N could see through her own stinging eyes that Ciel's smile was genuine.

Even the loud cheering from the crowd was drowned out by the crying and celebrating of the boys surrounding Y/N and Ciel. They could hear and see nothing else but their teammates surrounding them, and for the first time, the two felt like they really were a part of Blue House. And this time, when she was surrounded by people on all sides, their air being knocked out of her lungs, Y/N was happy and laughing. She was no longer scared of any of these boys, they weren't faceless monsters who were extensions of his will. No, now they were her friends. And the feeling of their arms wrapped around her, hugging her close as they all cried tears of pure joy, made her heart swell up.

"It's a second Miracle of the Sapphires!" They cheered as everyone began to lift Ciel off of his feet. This time, Y/N even helped her classmates hold up the Earl as laughter spilled over her lips. "Heave-Ho!" They chanted as they tossed him into the air once before they were promptly stopped by Sebastian.

The demon seemed to materialize out of thin air as he swept over the crowd of players and pulled Ciel from their grasps. "Hold it right there!" He shouted as he cradled the Earl in his arms. "How could you be so reckless? Getting that cut seen to comes first. And James, you mustn't over work yourself now," Sebastian warned as he gave the team a stern look.

"Mister Michaelis," Ciel muttered as a bright smile appeared on his lips and the sun seemed to sparkle in his one good eye. "But... Winning alongside everyone has made me so happy... That I've all but forgotten the pain!" That declaration seemed to make everyone sniffle even more as they all separated and untangled their arms from around each other. "We got to prove to everyone that even Blue House can win if we put our minds to it!"

Sebastian smiled softly as he let out a small sigh. "You really are... A most incorrigible boy," the demon chuckled as he began to walk to the stadium's exit with the Earl in his arms and the Lady by his side. The crowd began to clap slowly as Ciel was carried out, and blue paper confetti rained down from the stands. The teams joined the audience in their applause, even the Green House boys. Greenhill and Edward both looked to be immensely proud of Ciel and Y/N's performances in the tournament as they led their team in applauding the Blue House boys. There were warm smiles on the faces of everyone in the crowd as they all watched the two boys and their teacher march on towards the medical wing of the school.
