Okay so I decided that maybe I'd do a thing with feels bc I wouldn't be a TRUE author if I didn't cause everyone to feel like ripping their hearts out and stomping on them a million times now would i?
Note that this isn't a Mystery Spot thing, but fuck I know it sounds like it, I'm in that fandom but thAT ISNT WHAT IT IS. Just to clarify. (:
______________Alois awoke with a start on his desk.
"When did I fall asleep?"
He glanced over to his phone and pressed a button.
"August 15, huh? Guess I'll call Ciel, I've got nothing else to do today."
~time skip~
The two boys sat on the swings, looking into the sand blankly and talking about trivial things, when a small black cat strolled by, and rubbed itself on Ciel's leg. He patted the cat and then looked up into the playground.
"I really hate the summer."
He muttered brazenly. Alois was shocked.
"The heat reminds me of the fire... I don't like thinking about that. But whenever the summer rolls around, I.."
Then the cat sprinted away towards the seemingly empty streets. Having nothing better to do, despite his allergy, Ciel ran after it, spotting it perched on the edge of the sidewalk just before the traffic light.
The cat turned its head towards the boys, and once it reached the bluenette's gaze it made a dash for the opposite curb.
Since the light was signalling a safe walk, Ciel saw no harm in running across to catch it. Neither did Alois. That is, until the light flashed red.
He held out his hand to warn his friend about the change in colour
"Ciel! Maybe you should--!"
There was a loud splitting and cracking sound. He couldn't believe his eyes. His outstretched hand went back to cover his mouth and nose. it couldn't be.
There was a strangled scream and this sound that was too horrifying to describe, and a flash of red, as the smell of blood mixed with his cologne.
His best friend was dead. Splattered all over the front of the truck and the rough, painted cement.
And as the harsh and unforgiving summer heat began to increase, it finally dawned on him it was real, and the sound of the crickets made it as if the haze was laughing at him. He fell to his knees, clutching his shirt over his rapidly beating heart, and sobbed silently as the blue from that awful summer day faded to a black.
Alois awoke again with a gasp as he shot up from his desk. He breathed heavily as he sat back in his chair, trying to forget the sound of the crickets. Ciel's final screech rang audibly through his head.
"What... What time is it?"
He checked his phone again.
"12 pm.."
His eyes widened.
"August... 15th..."
His heartbeat picked up as he smiled.
"It was a dream.. It was just a dream... Oh!! I'll call Ciel and tell him! He'll laugh for sure!"
~time skip~
"...and then you told me about how you hated the summer and.."
Just then the cat ran off with a loud meow, interrupting Alois's dream story. And, just like then, Ciel ran after it.
