Ciel awakens to darkness, it seems he's been bound and blindfolded. He tries to feel around, trying to figure out where he is. And where ______ is as well, luckily he hears their voice whisper beside him to remain calm as they are together in a cage of sorts. The cloth draped over it being taken away, allowing the light to somewhat aid the two in their limited vision, "Call Sebastian when you think is right.." The servant whispers as a figure from behind stands and the Viscount speaks

"And now, what you've waiting for. Tonight's crown jewels, these lovely birds are surely suitable for any of your needs. One with mesmerizing mismatched eyes and the other with beautiful shimmering (color) ones. Both with their own delightful charms..."

The Viscount has their blindfolds taken away, the stage they are on in perfect view for the masked crowd. ____ is taken out of the cage, and put in front for the buyers to see them more. Ciel feeling more and more disgusted by the whole ordeal as the crowd starts bidding, to see who pays the most to obtain them.

"You can keep her as a pet or use her for other services too she's an eager little robin you see. Or maybe sell her for parts, or keep her for a few nights or two.."

Ciel's blood boils as he watches ______ being paraded in front of the masked crowd, his heart pounding in his chest. The anger and desperation fuel his determination, as he struggles against his restraints, his eyes narrowed in a mix of fury and resolve.

He knows that he must act swiftly, for ______'s sake and their own survival. With a quick glance around the room, his mind races, formulating a plan to free himself and _____ from this wretched situation.

As the bidding continues, Ciel's voice cuts through the room, filled with a mix of defiance and authority. "Enough! This farce ends now!"

Ciel's voice, though controlled, carries an unmistakable edge of desperation as he addresses the crowd. "Sebastian, come. Now!"

The crowd falls silent for a moment, startled by Ciel's outburst. The Viscount's mask of amusement wavers, his eyes narrowing as he realizes the strength within the boy before him. With that, the demon butler appears from the darkness as the candles are blown out and everyone is rendered unconscious. Ciel and ______ unbound and freed the next second. Ciel walked over to _______, and took their hand in his...

"Woah, where'd the lights go?"

The servant asks, their (color) irises glimmering even in the darkness. Ciel thinks for a moment, looking around the area. No, maybe he should tell them to have their eyes obscured. _____ does not need to see any more of these disgusting fools who thought they could take them away from him.

Sebastian promptly calls Scotland Yard, informing them of the location of the illegal auction held by the Viscount Druit and such. The perpetrator and the crowd ready to be arrested as soon as authorities arrive...

"Are we done...?"

_______ asks, still awaiting orders. Ciel giving his hand a gentle squeeze and getting reminded of the kiss that was placed upon that same hand by the Viscount earlier. A spike of jealousy getting to the young lord, causing him to place a kiss of his own on the servant's hand like a brand of possession...

Ciel's lips press against the back of ______'s hand, the contact was both possessive and reassuring. In that fleeting moment, the touch ignites a fire within him, a reminder that ______ is his, and no one else's. In that moment, the weight of his emotions becomes apparent, the jealousy and protectiveness that he so often hides behind his stoic facade. The rush of jealousy subsides, replaced by a renewed sense of protectiveness.

"We're done here," Ciel murmurs, his voice holding a mix of exhaustion and relief. "The authorities will handle the rest. We've succeeded in exposing the Viscount's heinous activities."

Ciel's grip on ____'s hand tightens for a moment, his thumb rubbing soothing circles on their delicate skin. Despite the turmoil they've just endured, he feels an overwhelming sense of gratitude for ____'s resilience and strength.

"I'm sorry you had to go through this... but we'll put an end to this madness, _______," he says softly, his eyes filled with determination. "No one will ever lay a hand on you again."

"R-Right... Um so- Where the lights at? Will they be getting back on??" ______ asks, still in the dark and still just as confused as ever regarding the situation at hand. They expected this to end with Sebastian taking Ciel and dashing off into the night or whatever but it seems not???

Ciel feels a surge of possessiveness overtake him. He wants to protect ______, to shield them from harm, and to ensure that they never know such darkness again. As the authorities arrive, Ciel assists _______ in making their way out of the area, carefully avoiding the lingering chaos and commotion. His grip on his hand tightens, a sign of determination and protection.

Unfortunately, however, their job is not over yet. Because the next day after they caught who they assumed was responsible for the "Jack the Ripper" killings, an article in the newspaper states in bold letters; "Jack the Ripper strikes again!" was the Viscount, not the target?

Ciel is furious, all that fuss for nothing? Well, not really for nothing. But if the Viscount was not the Ripper, then who? What did they miss? How could this be? Ciel sits on his bed, irritated as Sebastian checks their suspect list, sure enough, the demon knows more than he lets on. ________ hands him his favorite cup of warm milk with honey, to calm his nerves. Knowing very well of what the boy finds helpful in certain moments like these. Which he takes with a small nod of thanks...

"We aren't done yet..."
