Unwanted (Ciel X Alois)

Chapter 7

It was a big day for Alois Trancy, as promised Ciel had brought the boy to collect his belongings, everything was currently packed into suitcases, everything he ever owned was now sitting waiting to be moved. Alois watched as Sebastian carried the last suitcase down the stairs and placed it with others, Ciel followed his butler stopping in front of this blonde.

"We'll give you a minute." He said, ushering his butler to follow him outside.

Alois glanced around the lobby, nothing much had changed in here, the paintings and the decorations were to stay put as there was simply no room for them in the Phantomhive manor. Ciel had compromised and allowed Alois to bring his favorite painting to his new home and would allow it to be hung in his bedroom. Alois was thankful for the earl's kindness, however, Alois couldn't help feeling sad about the move. He had lived here for over 3 years and had grown comfortable with the manor, at first he remembered the size and decorations intimidated him to end. That was until Claude had swiftly changed the decorations to suit his masters taste and rid the young boy of the memories of why he had really been brought to the mansion. It had been 3 whole years since the original Trancy had died at the hands of his butler, 3 whole years since he had made his contract, 3 whole years since he was free from poverty and abuse.

Alois sank to the ground and sat on the cold marble floor, he pulled his knees close to his chest and rested his forehead on his knees. What was he to do now? He had no one! No butler, no family, no friends and no home. He would live with his enemy in an unfamiliar mansion and follow the Phantomhives orders like a dog. He hadn't expected Ciel to be so kind to him, after all, he owed him nothing, the watchdog could easily have allowed him to become homeless. It would have benefited Ciel greatly if Alois was no longer a threat. Maybe it was all a scheme? Maybe Ciel would finish of Alois once and for all, maybe he would lure him in and strike when the blonde was least expecting? Who knew what the Phantomhive was thinking? Alois was pretty sure that not even Sebastian was 100% certain of his master's intentions.

Alois felt tears leak from his eyes, he was unsure if they were tears of sadness or fear but they were there none the less. They wet his dress pants and soaked his knees as he started to sob without a care, he didn't care if he looked pitiful, Ciel wasn't around and even if he did Alois was to hurt to care. The boy had nothing anymore, he didn't have anything to live for yet here he was. He should be thankful, he should be grateful, he knows how life can be for the less fortunate but he couldn't help feeling that everything was simply too much. Alois had been handed a life of misery and didn't seem to be allowed any happiness. What had he done in his past life to deserve such a horrible life in his current one?

Alois' heart clenched tightly in his chest sending a wave of pain through every inch of his body, loud sobs left his now open mouth as his hand clawed at his shirt trying to rid himself of the pain.

Ciel glanced at his pocket watch as he waited patiently in his carriage, he was starting to get a little worried about the blonde inside. 20 whole minutes had past and there was still no sign of the elder boy.

"Sebastian, go check on Alois," Ciel ordered as he folded his hand over his cane.

He watched as his butler in black effortlessly walked up the stairs and into the mansion before returning shortly after carrying the blonde bridal style in his arms. As they got closer to the carriage Ciel could clearly see Alois' shoulders shaking, though his face was hidden in Sebastian's blazer Ciel knew the boy was crying.

Sebastian stood in the entrance of the carriage and glanced down at the young teen in his arms who was clinging to his coat for dear life. He raised an eyebrow and turn to his master for instructions. Surprisingly the earl wordlessly outstretched one arm and motioned for Sebastian to places the boy next to him. Sebastian did as instruction and watched curiously as Ciel pulled the boy close without muttering a word. Alois clung to the earl's side curling himself into a ball as he sobs slowly started to die down. Sebastian had never witnessed such a scene from his master.
