You were currently wandering around the Trancy Manor alone, the others seeming to be busy for the day. With nothing to do yourself, you had been exploring the rest of the Trancy Manor. From what you had been told from the triplets and Claude as well, Alois was busy with some type of work and would be busy for a while.
With nothing to do, you were currently bored and had resulted to wandering throughout the manor to ease your boredom. Your hand slipped into the pocket of your outfit pulling out the wind up key that you had happened to find in the clock the first night that you had arrived at the Trancy Manor. You were still curious as to what it could represent and why it was a puzzle to this mystery. It was clear that the Kumo was a clue to lead you to the wind up key and you knew that it had to be something important as well.
With a sigh, you slid it back into your pocket knowing that it wouldn't be any help as of now. It had been a total of two days since you had been at the Trancy Manor this being your second day. You couldn't help but wonder when Ciel would come to get you. By now he would be getting curious as to why you hadn't returned to the manor and you were sure that he was most likely looking into it.
It was still early in the morning and you were hungry due to you not having any breakfast yet. 'Maybe I should head to the kitchen to see if i can find anything to eat,' you thought to yourself as you began to make your way toward where Claude had showed you where the kitchen was.
Heading to the kitchen, you couldn't help but wonder what sort of work Alois was having to do. The moments yesterday were a lot funner than you expected them to be. Of course Alois had his moments but throughout most of the day it was fun to hang out with him. Not to mention you were really happy at the fact that he had bought you that Prince Soma doll.
You couldn't help but laugh at the fact that you had found a doll here that was a look alike of Prince Soma. 'Maybe I should start a Black Butler plushi collection,' you thought with a laugh.
By now you were almost close to the kitchen and it was then that you happened to hear humming coming from the direction of it. It was a feminine voice meaning that clearly had to be Hannah. Peering around the corner, you came to find Hannah working in the kitchen, plates of food laid out on the counter.
You made your way and cleared your throat to let her know that you were there. "Hey Hannah I'm guessing you're making breakfast for Alois."
"Oh good morning (Y/N), how are you and yes this is breakfast for you and the young master." Hannah said as she turned to face you, placing another plate on to the counter.
"I'm doing good," you said with a smile. "Wait! Hold up! Me as well!" You exclaimed out surprised.
Hannah nodded her head and she gave you a small smile. "His highness wanted you to join him for breakfast today. He said that you deserved the best of the best for all the trouble he's given you."
'He actually said that,' you thought to yourself startled that he would say such a thing. "Do you need any help?" You asked her shaking your head to clear your thoughts and flashed her a smile.
"Are you sure? I'm perfectly able to get all of this," she said.
You arched an eyebrow as you glanced down at the large number of plates that rested on the counter. "Nonsense, with all this here you're going to need some help and I don't mind. Besides I got nothing better to do." Heading forward, you picked up a platter that carried a stack of pancakes and just a whiff of it began to make your stomach growl. 'i can't wait to eat this,' you thought.
"Oh thank you," Hannah said looking flustered as she went around the table managing to grab a lot more plates than you were capable of holding.
With that the two headed your way toward the dining room and Hannah pushed the door opened. Just like always you were blown into amazement at the sheer size of the room. It was stunning really, something that you would expect to find in a novelty home.
Shaking out of your daze, you followed Hannah over to the table and began to set the plates down onto the wooden surface. Piles and piles of food soon were sprawled out on the surface and you could feel yourself begin to drool upon seeing it.
It took the two of you several minutes to finally be able to place all of the platters down. "Thank you," Hannah told you as she bowed to you.
"It was no problem at all," you told her with a smile. "And you don't have to bow to me, technically we're both servants here."
Hannah straightened up as she gave you a smile. "Well then if you say so, wait here I'll go fetch his highness and let him know that his food is done." After letting you know that it would only take a couple of minutes, Hannah left the dining room and most likely began to head to his study.
Unsure with what to do, you sat down in the chair closes to the end as you eyed the delicious pasteries in front of you. As much as you wanted to dig in, you knew that it would be better if you waited for Alois to arrive. The opening of the door made you glanced over to see familiar booty shorts heading your way and you could help but let out a snort to yourself.
Alois eyes flickered around the room until they finally landed on you and a large smile came onto his face. "(Y/N)!" He exclaimed out happily as he made his way over toward you. "It's so good to see you!" He said as he rushed over toward you a happy smile plastered on his face.
You couldn't fight the smile that came onto your own face as you waved toward him. "Hi Alois," you said.
Alois quickly made his way over and sat at the head of the table, surprising you because it was the seat next to you. "I hope you slept good," he said with brightened eyes. "I'm glad you're still here," he mumbled underneath his breath.
"Yeah the bed's at least comfortable here," you replied back but could help but think that the ones at the Phantomhive Manor were better. 'Although my time here wasn't as bad as I expected it to be, I still want to go back home - to the Phantomhive Manor.'
"That's good to hear," Alois said beaming. "Now Hannah made all this food for us, we should dig in before the food gets cold."
"I'm so glad you suggested that," you said and in that very second your stomach rumbled causing Alois to laugh out. Letting out a smirk, you reached out and began to pile food onto your plate. After a second, your platter consisted of pancakes, bacon, sausage, and several other pastries that Hannah had cooked.
In the matter of minutes you were chowing down on the food and you couldn't help but let out a sigh of delight upon eating it. It was almost as good as Sebastian's food. 'Although no one can beat Sebastian's cooking,' you thought as you munched on your food with a sly smile.
"Guess what (Y/N)!" Alois exclaimed out as he glanced over at you with a large grin etched on his face.
"Umm what is it?" You asked him, sweat dropping hoping that whatever he was going to tell you wasn't anything bad at all.
"I finally finished all the work so now we can have fun with each other!" He said happily as he gazed joyfully into your (E/C) eyes. "I hate how Claude forces me to do all that work, it's so dreadfully boring. With you staying here, I finished it as quickly as I could just so I can be around you even more."
"Oh that sounds great," you said unsure of what to say. However as much as he did seem to be clingy, you could tell that he really did seem to enjoy your company and as much as you didn't want to admit it, you did as well. It was true that he would act up every now and then, but from what you could notice lately he was more tranquil.
It was then that he had noticed that your glass of water was now empty and he called Hannah. "Come refill (Y/N) glass," he ordered her and she began to make her way over. "You should be more attentive to things like this," he said sharply as he cast her a cold gaze.
"It really is okay," you told her as you sweat dropped. "You don't really have to get me some, I could do it myself besides I'm not really that thirsty." However, Hannah still headed her way up to you, a pitcher of water in her hand and she leaned over to refill your glass.
"Nonsense," said Alois as he carefully watched as Hannah began to pour the water. "You should still have some just in case you get thirsty."
It was suddenly then that you felt the feeling of something cold and wet and you instantly gasped out due to the unexpected shock of it. You glanced down to see the bottom part of your dress drenched in the water that Hannah had just spilled onto you. "Oh," you trailed off saying.
"I'm so terribly sorry," Hannah cried out as she attempted to dab the water with a table cloth.
"No its fine," you said.
"You stupid wench!" Alois suddenly exclaimed out as he jerked onto his feet, fury flashing in his eyes. Your eyes widened in shock at his reaction and you knew that things would escalate if you didn't do anything. "You had one easy thing to do and you completely screwed it up." He raised his hand up in the air obviously going to slap her, causing her to instantly cower up.
"Alois that's enough," you said sternly as you grasped onto his hand managing to stop him from hitting Hannah. "Hannah wasn't purposely trying to spill that water on me can't you see that. It was an accident, there is no need to resort yourself to this measure and slapping her is just to extreme." It seemed that Alois had shrank back from your furious figure, his eyes wide. You removed your hand from his wrist, Hannah already running off out of the room. "I don't know why you act like this, but i don't like the way you handle things. If you keep being like this, I don't know whether I would want to be around you anymore."
Alois eyes widened in alarm as he stumbled backward and sank into his chair. You were perplexed at this and could only guess that he would yell at you about being as bad as Hannah. What surprised you was that he had began to shake in his seat and you watched as his hands clenched up into a fist on the table. "I'm sorry," he whispered out to you and you widened your eyes upon hearing this.
"I'm so sorry (Y/N). Please don't leave me," he pleaded out as he gazed up at you with large eyes. "I couldn't bear being left alone again," he said.
You let out a sigh as you lightly touched Alois back causing him to look back up at you. "I'm not going anywhere as of now," you told him which was the truth since you were still waiting for Ciel to come whenever he would. "Why don't we do something fun?" You suggested to him, causing a small smile to come onto his face.
"Like what?" He asked you.
You shrugged your shoulders unsure of what to suggest. "What do you usually like to do?" You asked him.
Alois was quiet for a second pondering over in his head just what exactly he was interested in. "Well shopping is one, oh and getting attention from Claude and the others and if not then punishing them."
You sweat dropped upon hearing these words. "Maybe let's do something not like that," you told him with a nervous smile. It was then that a michevious grin came onto your face as an idea came into your head. "I have an idea."
It wasn't until later that the two of you were creeping around the manor, stalking Claude doing his daily chores. It was similar to what Sebastian would usually have to do back at the Phantonhive Manor not that it interest you before. Currently he was cleaning up the library, and was rearranging the books that were propped up on the shelves.
You let out a snicker as you muttered out a chant causing all of the books that he had place in to fall back out to the ground. Both you and Alois did your best to stifle your laughter as Claude paused in place as he glanced back at the pile. Letting out a sigh, he then headed over and bent down to once again place them on to the shelf.
The second he had turned around again, another small chant caused the books to drop down to the ground. Claude stood on alert and you could tell that his eyes were darting around trying to find the cause to this. Knowing him he probably knew that it was the two of you, but he couldn't locate where either of you where hiding at.
As of now the two of you were hiding in the closet - who would expect there to be a closet here in a library. The downside of hiding in this closet was that it was a lot smaller than you expected it to be when both you and Alois had snuck in. Both you and Alois were cram in together and you did your best to stifle a sneeze as one of his curls tickled your nose, however it did no good.
Alois let out small giggle at your sneeze. "You have a cute sneeze," he murmured quietly out causing a slight smile to come onto your face. You glanced out the closet door only to see Claude looking in the direction that the two of you were at. 'Oh crap I hope he doesn't head this way,' you thought to yourself.
"You don't mind if I may end up wrecking a bit of things do you," you asked Alois who shook his head with a playful expression.
"Don't worry Claude or one of the others would fix it if you do," he said and you let out a grin as you turned to face the room.
"First let's remove those glasses of his. The objects that adorn on his face, vanish and come to me." In a split instance, his glasses now perched in your open palm and Alois let out a noise in wonderment as he took them from you. 'I have no clue if he can really see without them but this will have to do.' There was only one thing to do and that was to go hell bent on the room. "Chaos within chaos without, turn this room into chaos bent out."
It was then that suddenly the bulbs to the lights dimmed outs and began to flicker, throwing the room into a sinister aura. Claude's eyes darted around as if trying to process what was happening, however he didn't seem to phased.
Books began to throw themselves off of the shelves and you could only watch as they threw themselves at the demon butler. You watched as one of the shelves fell over targeting Claude and he did his best to avoid them. He made his way over to the door in an attempt to leave however the door wasn't opening; it was locked.
Your face suddenly reddened upon feeling soft breathing upon your neck and you felt shivers race down your spine. You glanced back to see that Alois was behind you. What surprised you the most was that he wasn't watching the scene in front of the two of you, but his gaze was focused on your figure.
"Is there something on my face," you asked jokingly, but trailed off upon seeing how intent his eyes was focused on your own. You began to ignore what was happening outside the closet to focused in wondering what Alois was doing.
"(Y/N)," Alois whispered out and your eyes widened upon realizing that he was leaning in closer to you, his gaze remaining locked onto your own. "I just..."
"I knew that it was the two of you who were up to something," came an annoyed tone and the two of you quickly swiveled around to see the closet door come swinging open. Claude stared down at the two of you with an irk mark and you let out a sheepish smile as you waved at him.
"Hi Claude how did you like our surprise," you said sheepishly and could hear Alois laughing from behind you. Slowly both you and Alois slid out of the closet doing your best to stay out of Claude's reach.
If looks could kill, Claude's menacing gaze seemed as of he wanted to kill the two of you right then and there.
"Well.. we'll see you later," you said quickly as you grasped onto Alos wrist and pulled him out of the library leaving a fumming Claude behinld. The two of you raced your way through the manor until you raced out the door to the back.
By the time the two of you had stopped you were both laughing out due to what happened. By now it was beginning to get dark out, the night was an array of colors such as pink, orange, purple and yellow as the sun began to sink.
"That was so much fun," Alois said as he turned to face you, his eyes sparkling in joy.
"Did you see the look on his face?" You said as she laughed out along with Alois. "He seemed like he wanted to kill us."
The two of you were currently walking through the garden and you were enjoying the feeling of the cool breeze on your figure. The garden was decorated with a wide array of flowers each one ranging in a number of colors. One which so happened to catch your eyes was a rose, however this one was blue similar to the ones at the Phantomhive Manor.
You crouched besides it, gazing in wonder at the beauty of the flower. You could never get over the vast wonderfulness of the roses. Something about these flowers just always seem to take your breath away. "It beautiful," you murmured out as you touch the petal delicately.
"It really is," Alois replied however you didn't notice that he wasn't looking at the flower but at you. You stood and it was then that your gaze landed on a large pond further away from the house and you began to head your way toward it. You remembered seeing the pond in the second season of Black Butler, during the party where Sebastian and Claude were fighting over Ciel's soul.
Alois followed after you as you headed to the pond and it was there that you happened to find a marble seat close to the ponds edge. You gestured for Alois to sit alongside you with a smile, and he did so.
"Wow it's really beautiful here," you said as you gazed around at the pond. By now the sun had already set and the moon was rising throwing the earth into a glowy landscape.
"If you really think it's that beautiful why don't you stay here?" Alois said softly.
You blinked your eyes surprised that he would ask this before turning to face him. His eyes were down and his fingers gripped his shorts. "You know I can't do that," you told him.
"And why not," he said sharply though he was not yelling.
"Because I don't belong here. My home is at the Phantomhive Manor not here," you said softly trying to prevent him from lashing out.
"Is it because of me! Do you really just not like me!" He exclaimed out as he stood onto his feet and turned away from you.
'I really don't need this again,' you thought to yourself as you lurched onto your own feet. "Why do you always act like this!" You exclaimed out.
"You wouldn't understand!'
"Of course I won't because you don't tell anything," you said and you took in a breath to relax yourself. "How can I understand you if you won't tell me whats been causing you to act this way."
Alois was quiet for a moment, his hands were in fists and his gaze darted around before landing on your own. His eyes held a mixture of pain and un-understanding as if he didn't know what to do. You gently touched his hands and lead him back to sit next to you. "Alois the only way I would be able to comprehend why you're like this is if you tell me."
Alois eyes were down cast and his hand tightened around yours. "I just don't want to be left alone, someone I was close to, no almost everyone I knew left me. And not only that I was forced to to..." He struggled with what to say.
You immediately knew what he was referring to and lightly touched his arm. "It's okay."
"I was forced to do something I didn't want to," he trailed off saying and his hands gripped tighter onto your own.
"You're okay now Alois," you told him softly. "Like I said before I won't be able to stay here, but that doesn't mean that we can't still see each other."
Alois eyes glanced up to to meet yours, sorrow and pain swirling in his irises. "You're right," he said trailing off.
"It's getting late," you told him. "We should probably go to bed." You stood up from the seat, pulling Alois up along with you. "C'mon. A good bed rest can make things better."
Alois followed after you with almost like a lost puppy dog. "I'll walk you to your room," he told you to your surprise and you glanced at him with wide eyes. You followed after him as he lead you to your room.
"Thanks for bringing me here," you said to him. "And thanks for being able to tell me about what happened. Uhh well I guess this is good nig.."
You were cut off as Alois quickly pulled you into a hug and your eyes widened at the sudden surprise of this. "Alois," you stuttered out as his grip around you tightened. He rested his face into the crook of your neck and let out a sigh causing tingles to race through your body.
"I'm glad you're here," was all he said before he released you and vanished down the hall. You stared in the direction he had disappeared from in shock before closing the door, planning on calling it for the night.
