Ciel's POV.
- Yes, I am awake ... Alois answered calmy after a moment of silence.
Ciel frowned upon noticing Alois' voice was echoing off the bathroom walls .
- You're in the bathroom aren't you ? Are you okay ? the young man worried.
- Uh ... yeah I'm okay Alois flushed the toilet and quickly went to wash his face. I was just...peeing . He lied.
- Oh okay... he sighed in relief .Did you sleep well ? Ciel asked .
- Yes I did , your bed was so comfortable ! Alois exclaimed. I haven't slept this well in a long time actually !
-Uhm. Ciel grumbled. Nice.
- What ? Alois asked in a high-pitched voice.
- I woke up with a start to find you sprawled out on me this morning . Let's say I spent a less comfy night than you. Ciel saltly complained.
- It's not my fault you're so soft and your bed's so little ! The blonde tried to justify himself , giggling.
- Whatever. I bought you some croissants from the bakery for breakfast. Ciel tried to sound cheerful because he suspected Alois to have problems with food.
- E-eat ? I'm not hungry right know ...
Eat.
That simple word sparked fear into him.
- Come on you must be starving . You didn't eat anything since like ... two days and a half ? Ciel tried to convince him. You have to be reasonable.
- You know , I don't really feel like eating. With that disease that makes me throw up, its not fun knowing most of what I eat will end up flushed away... He explained, almost sniveling to try and get away from eating
- I understand but... You can't just starve yourself , this is just so unhealthy ... You can barely stand up. You need to eat , Alois , and I'm serious . Ciel implored him
The sweet odor of the croissants filled Alois' nostrils and his stomach complained loudly , expressing his longing. Ciel laughed nervously but was nowhere near amused at that sound.His doubts were confirmed.
- See ? Your body agrees with me ! he stated.
Alois knew there was no escaping this at this point . He sighed loudly at sat at the table.
- Okay , I'll eat , but just a little. He warned.
Ciel nodded. At least the blond was going to eat , even if it was just a little . He observed him closely as he ate. The small bites he took , the slowness of the process , the contorted faces he made , how long he chewed... He registered all of that . Was eating such a challenge for Alois ? How could such a seemingly simple action cause him so much trouble ?
- Alois , are you sure everything's alright ? His face whitened at this , but his features relaxed when Ciel pursued Don't you like croissants or is this something else ?
Ciel didn't want Alois to feel like he was accusating him so he didn't confront him directly , but voiced out his fears still.
- Hm, I prefer pancakes... The blonde mumbled , not really convincing.
Ciel was not deceived. He knew there was an underlying, serious problem ... How many problems could Alois have ?
- I care about you Alois. I might not understand everything but I will do all that is in my power to help you. Ciel promised.
