Blinded By The Devil 〖Cielois〗

Chapter 13: Pressing Matters

"C-Ciel... D-Did you just kiss me?!"

The blonde earl frantically waved his arms around, the blood rushing to his face and causing it turn bright red. Ciel backed off of him a little, frowning.

"You didn't like it...?"

Alois shook his head quickly, trying to relive Ciel's thoughts.

"N-no, it's not that, not at all!! I-I just... I've never kissed anyone before..."

Ciel sighed in relief, a content smile showing back up on his face. For a second there he was sure he was getting rejected right on the spot. The blunette suddenly started to chuckle a little, looking off to the side.

"Neither have I."

The both of them began to laugh and giggle, love and excitement taking over their hearts. This was something new for both of them. Alois grinned over at Ciel, the blush on his face finally dying down.

"Care to give me my second one?"

Ciel quickly leaned towards the blonde and wrapped his arms around him, pulling him close.

"I would be delighted to.~"

Sebastian stormed down the hallway, huffing and puffing in anger as he searched for the youngest Trancy's room. He knew that was where Ciel would be, there was no way he'd be separated from the blonde. Upon finding the room, The demon swung the door open, looking with disgust at the sight in front of him.

"...Young Master. We're leaving. Now."

Upon hearing the voice Ciel quickly pulled back from their tender kiss to look over at Sebastian. His face turned red as he stared, realizing that the demon had seen them.

"Sebastian, I-I... This is..."

The Crimson-eyed demon held up a hand to keep his master from speaking, not wanting to hear a single word more.

"I don't want excuses. You told me we would be spending the night, and we have done so. It's time for us to leave."

Ciel balled up his fists and scoffed, shifting towards the edge of the bed to get closer to Sebastian. Alois got a bit anxious then, giving a nervous expression in his eyes and pushing his shoulders up insecurely. He didn't like it when he didn't have someone directly beside him to hold, it bothered him and made him feel alone.

"I'm not leaving, Sebastian. Alois needs me here."

Sebastian huffed loudly, slowly losing his patience by the moment. This was one of the most difficult experiences of his life, having to sit here and watch his own master chose someone else, another human over Sebastian himself

"I don't think you understand, my lord. You have many more important issues that you need to tend to, I hope you're aware of that... things like this can't just go unnoticed."

Ciel blushed and looked away from the demon, his expression softening. He couldn't look at Sebastian so angrily when he knew that he was right. He made his way back over to Alois, knowing he must have been a little shaken by all this. He reached over and gently grabbed the blonde earl's hand, holding it in his own to provide comfort. Alois sleepily leaned his head against the other boy's shoulder, closing his eyes and nuzzling him.

"I just don't want to leave him behind..." 

Ciel spoke very softly so not to upset the boy beside him, who looked as though he was going to fall right back to sleep. Sebastian stared at the two of them, and he wouldn't lie. His heart broke just a little at the sight of the two small boys cuddled up to each other like that. But that didn't change the fact that this little "venture of love" was going to distract Ciel from his ultimate goal. And that mean that Sebastian would go hungry for longer than needed. After he'd so carefully cultivated Ciel's perfect soul, he had to wait even longer and try even harder to finally claim his soul. It was going to be a divine feast, that was for sure... if he ever even got to taste it. The demon shook his head, crossing his arms.

"You two are cute, but that's not going to change anything. There's work to do as the earl of the Phantomhive estate, do you want to be removed from your job position?" 

The blunette boy sighed, tilting his head over a little. It just wasn't fair that he had to choose work over love. He was sure the queen wouldn't understand that, and neither would Sebastian, but... things would be a hell of a lot easier for him if they did. 

"I understand... I suppose. However, we are coming back every single day. I don't care how full the schedule is, I'm going to find time for him." 

Sebastian growled under his breath. 

Well, I didn't want you seeing him, period, but... I suppose it's better than spending all day, every day here.

"I suppose that will do, my lord... now, may we leave? I can only imagine the paperwork that's stacking up on your desk right now..."

Ciel held up a finger to stop him, shaking his head in disapproval. 

"Not quite yet. I want to spend a little more time alone with Alois before we leave, there's something I need to talk to him about." 

At this point, the demon was beginning to lose all of his patience. He was ready to rip off both of their heads and feed them to the crows resting on the windowsill.  Nevertheless, Sebastian nodded, making his way over to the door to give them their space. 

"I'll give you 10 minutes. Do what you need to do and do it quick, young master." 

"That will work. In the mean time, you... wait down the hall or something." 

The butler nodded and made his way out the door, closing it behind him and making his way down the hallway, to where the exit was. He was ready to get out of here as soon as possible. 

Ciel turned to Alois as soon as he was sure Sebastian was gone, gently nudging him. 

"He's gone, but... I need to go soon. There's just something I want to talk to you about." 

Alois picked his head up from the boy's shoulder, looking somewhat in direction to listen to him.

"What is it?" 

Ciel blushed a little, staring away from him. He didn't care whether or not he had vision, he still couldn't look him in the eye when talking about this kind of stuff. It was embarrassing. 

"You know what I mean... when I say 'I love you', right? You know I don't mean it in a friendship kid of way, right?"

Alois giggled a little, almost as if the possibility of him thinking that was completely irrelevant. Ciel was a little confused, nervously laughing as well to follow. Alois stared at him with wide eyes then, not even thinking about the question before he answered it. 

"Of course. As in, you wanna do me, right?" 

Confident with his answer, Alois grinned once again. Ciel blushed suddenly and his mouth swung open in shock. He hadn't expected THAT to leave Alois's lips, of all things. He thought he'd planned to say something far more romantic than that, but... then he remembered that Alois didn't think quite the way he did.

"W-Well... I-I guess that's... one way to put it..."

 Ciel shook his head and Alois continued to giggle, as if these were completely normal things to say.

"That's alright. I wanna do you too." 

 Ciel's face was blood red by now as he stared in the complete opposite direction of the other boy, not even able to respond anymore. The blonde just continued to titter and grin, too distracted by his own little world to even notice the aura coming from the other boy. Ciel never would have imagined that these kinds of things would go through that boy's mind...
