Ciel Phantomhive eidoloncast and Alois Trancy ronderotarel
Ciel and Alois have drifted apart, lately. And this doesn't please Alois at all. Tonight, he wants to try a different approach with Ciel.
[It's been a while since Alois noticed. At first sight, nothing seems different. Every morning, Ciel wakes up and has breakfast with him and Luca. He answers mundane questions if Alois asks them. He still tutors Luca. He bids him goodnight.
Yet Alois knows he's totally invisible to Ciel.
The gap between them had been created slowly. Gradually, Ciel had started giving attention to other people rather than to him. He'd started going out more often and befriending random citiziens. He'd even befriended a fellow demon, as unnatural as that is. That Ciel would rather be friends with what should be his natural enemy than with him is something that hurt Alois deeply.
He's come to accept that all his efforts to have Ciel open up his heart to him have been useless. Nothing he did for him got appreciated. To Alois, it seems as if a few words from Gilbert, or even from a random stranger, are worth more to Ciel than all the times he's tried to talk to him. All the times he cried for, and in front of him.
But there are no tears in his eyes tonight. It's very very late, and Ciel still hasn't come back from the party Alois refused to attend. He's not stupid. He knows Ciel only wanted to bring him to the party to distract him. To make sure he wouldn't be bothered while he went hunting. And Alois is tired of being treated as if he cannot handle the fact that Ciel is now a demon. A demon who needs to feed. He's never been more aware of Ciel's demonhood than he is now, and that is why he has decided to take a different approach with him. No pleads, no crying, no cheerfulness. If what Ciel wants right now is to deal with other demons, then Alois will behave as one.
And eventually, Ciel comes back home. When he finally sees him on the doorstep, silent as a shadow, Alois speaks.] Finally. You've stayed out for a long time. [There's no accusation in his voice. The tone is smooth and even welcoming.]
