"Will we be together forever? Even till death do us part?"
"... yes..."
. . .
He told me till death do us part. He made his promise. I thought he would keep it. I hoped he would keep it.
"Ciel, darling. We'll be together until death do us part, right? Just like you promised?"
"Yes. Of course."
I frowned. It didn't sound too promising. Does he hate me? Does he not love me anymore? What ever happened?
"Ciel.," I confronted him, looking into his eyes. They were filled with pain. I could tell. "Do you really mean what you say."
He didn't answer.
My body begun to tremble. He hates me. Our once lustful relationship has disappeared, vanished.
"C-Ciel... do you... hate me..."
...
He didn't answer.
I slowly started to back away. "Y... you never cared about me, did you? You played me like... like some God damned game...!"
"Alois, listen to me. I never got to..."
"No! Shut up, shut up! You never cared! Never!"
My legs felt weak. I couldn't breathe. I just wanted to end it all. Ciel no longer loved me like he used to. He no longer needs me. If he didn't want me... then what was the point?
"I know what you're trying to tell me, Ciel. I'm not dumb."
"It's not what you think... Alois, I--"
"No!," I interrupted him. I could no longer tell what he looked like, my vision was blurred with tears. "I absolutely know what it is. Your love for me is gone. Gone! You're trying to lay it down sweetly so my little feelings don't get hurt. If you don't love me... then... then I'll let death do us part!"
Ciel jolted back. "Alois, dear, you don't need to do that...! Look, I-I can prove to you that I love you... I can..."
I bolted out of the room. I didn't want to hear a word he said. No more promises. No more anything.
I locked myself in an empty bedroom, making my way to the large window that looks down into the courtyard below. I smiled weakly. How lovely. The roses are in bloom. Red for love.
I unhooked the latch to the window and pushed it open. I can hear Ciel coming up the stairs. I need to be quick. I shakily levyed myself up onto the edge of the window. A soft breeze blew through. What a beautiful day. I looked down, and stepped forward.
Everything then went slow.
. . .
"Now, a few words from Earl Ciel Phantomhive."
I perked up. Oh, right. The funeral... of course.
I pushed myself up out of my seat and made my way to the pedastal. I looked over the people seated before me. People who worked for Alois. Distant relatives. His parents nor siblings were no where to be seen. I cleared my throat.
"For as long as I knew Alois, I never saw this in our near future. We were... close. Yes. Very close. We had a few rivalries here and there, but we settled an alliance. I never told him... I never told him...," I slowly came to stop. I looked down at my trembling palms. I clenched them and looked back up. "I never told him how much I loved him."
Dead silence. That's all to be heard. I decided to move on.
"Alois will be missed dearly..."
. . .
Seeing his cold, lifeless body laying in his open casket made me regret every decision I have ever made. I've been standing infront of him for what seemed like hours. His pale lips were forced to a smile, he looked genuinely happy, though. I wish I could tell him that I cared. He meant everything to me. Now he's gone.
I held back tears, leaning over the corpse. Alois Trancy. My love. Death has done us part. I softly pressed my lips to his. I hope life is better on the other side. I'll be there to apologize. And show you how much you mean to me.
I parted slowly. I turned to walk away.
Everything then went slow.
