Sweet Dreams

I took his hand and let him help me up.
"Uhm...H-Hi, i'm (y/n) (l/n)." I said, fumbling with the hem of my dress.
"Ah, beautiful. This is my butler, Claude." Alois gestured to the tall man behind him, with golden eyes.
I nodded to him and stepped away.

"Ah, nice to meet you, but i should really be going." I turned to leave but Alois grabbed my arm.
"Shall I interest you in a cup of tea back at my manor?" He asked, raising an eyebrow.
"I-i should really get back...." I stated.
"At least let me take you back to your home. A beautiful maiden like you shouldn't be by herself. Where might you live?" He asked, still holding my arm.
"Uh-um.... At the Phantomhive Manor." I stuttered.

Alois' jaw clenched and he gripped my arm tighter.
'Ouch..."
His grip released and he gestured for me to follow him.
"Ah, yes. I happen to know Ciel Phantomhive quite well." He said.

I followed him to the road and stared in awe as i saw before me, a large carriage.
"This is beautiful...." i let myself trail off. Alois held his hand out to me and helped me up.

Ten minutes into the ride, he started to make conversation.
"So, how did you end up so far away?"
I shrugged and looked out the window.
"Walked."
I heard him gasp slightly and could feel his deep blue eyes watching my every move.
"No, why, you couldnt have." He said, sounding surprised. I turned to face him.
"I was upset, and i lose track of time when im upset." I answered, not phased at all.
"Why were you upset?" He asked, concerned.

I began to think back to todays events. I was going to hang out with Ciel, when he got mad and yelled at me, and called me Sebastian's girlfriend.

"SEBASTIAN! COME GET YOUR STUPID GIRLFRIEND!!"

Ciel's voice rang out in my head. He didn't seem like....Ciel. I was truely hurt by Ciel's tone of voice. Thinking back to it, it made me want to cry again.

"I...i don't r-remember." I answered, my voice shakey and tears streaming down my face.
Alois came to sit by me and pulled me into an embrace.
"Surely you do, but i won't pressure you." Alois said. I let him hold me and sobbed into his shirt the whole way back.

~TIME SCHKIP TO LE PHANTOMHIVE MANOR~

I sat in a chair in the lounge room while Ciel and Alois talked. Claude and Sebastian were glaring at each other. Sebastian put a hand on Ciel's shoulder and whispered,
"Im going to check on (y/n)."
Ciel huffed and nodded, waving him away.

Sebastian wiped my tears off my face and smiled at me. I pulled the blanket draped over my shoulders closer to me. Sebastian wrapped his arms around me and held me.

"I don't understand what's happening." I whispered to him. He pulled back, confused, but got up when we heard Alois' voice rising.

"YOU HURT THE POOR GIRL'S FEELINGS!" He yelled.
Sebastian grabbed my hand and dragged me over to them. I stood in between the two boys.
"Um..." I said.
"Well, (y/n), Did he or did he not hurt your feelings?" Alois asked. I looked back and forth between the boys and uttered out another, "Um."
Claude sighed and raised his hand to his forehead.
"I mean, I guess?" I said, shrugging.
"Wha-?" Ciel started, looking at me with a confused look.
"Exactly my reason why she should stay at my manor until she is feeling better." Alois said, cutting Ciel off. I sheepishly looked from Alois to Ciel, Ciel to Alois.
"I...i um...I think im just gunna..." I trailed off, walking to the staircase.
"Oh, (y/n), Please?" Alois asked. I walked up to him and hugged him.
"Meet me back at that clearing again tomorrow, same time." I whispered in his ear. I nodded to Claude and walked away.

"Finny?" I called as i walked the empty halls of the mansion.
"Finny?" I asked, again.
I finally got to my room and decided to give up. I'll talk to him tomarrow. I opened the door and stopped dead in my tracks.
"Finny? Why are you in my room?" I asked. He stood up from where he was sat in my room and answered.
"I was waiting for you." He said, smileing.

"Come on, lets go for a walk!" I said, grabbing his hand and pulling him outside. Having Finny as my best friends, besides Ciel, was great.
We crept downstairs and i noticed Alois hadn't left yet. Still holding Finny's hand, i walked right past Alois, Ciel, Claude, and Sebastian.

"And where do you think your going?!" Ciel asked us.
"For a walk, cuz i need someone to talk to!" I yelled right back at him and slammed the door.

Finny and i were perched on the roof, our legs dangling over the edge.
"Thank you, Finny. Your a great friend." I said, leaning my head on his shoulder.
He murmered something but i didnt hear it because i quickly drifted off to sleep.
