Summary: Things in Alois Trancy's were always changing as he grew up. The only one constant, the very rock of Alois' life, is Claude Faustus.
Alois is fifteen years old when Claude looks ridiculous
It is October 31st, a date more commonly known in the United States as Halloween. Halloween is a day of spirits, darkness, and all things scary. It also so happens to be Alois’ favorite holiday. Christmas was bearable, but on Christmas Alois couldn’t let loose. The blonde delighted in being able to dress up as someone else, face hidden behind makeup or a mask, and not have to worry about being judged.
“Yo! Alois! Let’s get going already!” A voice screams up the stairs. Alois finishes applying that last layer of eyeshadow, before he is bounding down the stairs at full speed. Mrs. Trancy waits at the bottom, camera at hand, trying to coerce Luka into taking a picture.
“Mom!” Luka groans, rolling his eyes. “We’re going to be late!”
“Nonsense! The neighborhood stays light up until twelve latest.” Mrs. Trancy clucks as she grabs Sebastian by the arm and positions him next to Luka.
Alois cannot help but giggle. Alois is a freshman in high school now, it’s the big league now and Alois considers himself very grown up. Alois has loads of homework just like Luka and gets into the high school football games for free! While Alois is a youth just about to experience high school, Luka is an old-timer that’s ready for college. As such, Mrs. Trancy is unaware that after only an hour of trick or treating, Luka plans on dragging Alois along to a high school party. Sebastian had come over earlier and the three were to meet up with Claude later.
“He just doesn’t want you to photograph him looking like an idiot.” Alois snorts and Luka whirled towards the stairs in anger.
“Yeah and what are you supposed to be?” Luka demands, gesturing at his younger brother. Alois is wearing his purple winter coat that he’s taped onto the back black wings made out of cardboard. The blonde has also wears a top hat adorned with little black wings as well.
Alois frowns at Luka’s comment and bares plastic vampire teeth at him. “Obviously I’m a vampire.”
“What kind of vampire wears eyeshadow?” Luka laughs and Alois simply scowls.
“At least I’m not wearing my football uniform as a costume!”
“Enough! Can you two go at least five minutes without fighting?” Mrs. Trancy shakes her head, “I should have prayed harder for girls.”
“Mom!” Luka and Alois both groaned.
After Mrs. Trancy has had her fill of pictures for scrapbooking, the trio decides to head out for trick or treating. Sebastian opens the door, about to step outside, when Luka and Alois both cry out, “No!”
“What?” Sebastian frowns, turning to the two brothers in confusion.
“Don’t go out there!” Alois warns, eyes wide.
“Alois what on earth are you talking-” Sebastian frowns as he pulls open the door once more.
“No seriously! Don’t!” Luka cries and Sebastian jumps with fright.
“What the hell is wrong with you two?” Sebastian demands.
“We have to warn our Dad before we go out.” Luka explains, “You’ll see. Alois go call Dad.”
“Got it.” Alois mutters, whipping out his cell phone. The boy’s fingers fly over the keypad, “Hello? Hey Dad… yeah we’re going out now… front door. Yeah right now. Okay. Okay bye.”
Sebastian stares at the two in confusion as Luka leads the way out of the house.
“You see,” Luka sighs, pulling the front door shut, “Every year these assholes up the street always try to teepee our house. So my Dad decided this year to sit up on our roof with a bucket water and a megaphone to scare the dumbasses off.”
“W-what?” Sebastian stutters.
“Hi Dad!” Alois shrieks, waving up at the figure on the roof. The figure shifts a little before Mr. Trancy is calling down to his youngest son with aid for the megaphone.
“You boys be safe!” Mr. Trancy shouts and Sebastian winces.
“Will do.” Luka calls back. “Come on Alois. Let’s go get you your stupid candy.”
“Yay!” Alois cheers, running off towards the neighbor’s house. Sebastian can only raise an eyebrow at the heeled boots Alois has on.
“Dude your family is so weird.” Sebastian shakes his head and Luka laughs.
“Tell me about it.”
“Claude!” Alois calls, giggling like a little schoolgirl.
“Alois wait up!” Luka huffs. He struggles to catch his breath as his little brother runs on ahead.
“Where does he get the energy?” Sebastian wheezes, falling in step along side Luka. The two have chased behind Alois for the last three blocks as a candy-fueled Alois ran from house to house, little heels clacking in the darkness.
“Claude!” Alois screams again, running through the front lawn. This was in fact the Faustus’ house and Alois was giddy with excitement. Alois and Claude had an especially good romp last week and Alois was still in the afterglow of it… a full week later.
There’s only a few lights on in the house but some more flick on when Alois’ loud voice draws closer. The blonde runs straight up to the front door, shoving some younger kids out of the way, and bangs furiously on the door.
“Claude!” Alois calls again, banging once more on the door. Alois can see Claude approaching through the little glass window in the door but he continues to knock just in case. Claude yanks open the door with a little too much force and the younger kids crowding around Alois back away in fear.
“Alois was that really necessary?” Claude sounds furious although his face is passive. Alois peeks over his shoulder to make sure that Luka and Sebastian are a safe distance before Alois does something bold. Little Alois rises up on his toes as high as his heels with allow and plants a quick kiss to Claude’s mouth. The kiss catches Claude off guard and Claude actually gasps in surprise.
“Ew.” The youngsters around Alois chorus and the older boy turns to them snarling.
“Oh shut up and go to another house! There’s no candy here.” Round faces blinks up at Alois in shock and the blonde bares his plastic teeth at them. Finally it works as the children scatter, screaming for their mothers. Alois turns back to Claude, hoping for praise.
“You’re being bad tonight.” Claude chuckles and Alois bats his eyelashes up at the older boy. The blonde opens his mouth, just about to respond, when Luka calls out behind them.
“Alois there you are! You little shit you’ve made Sebastian run that past three blocks!” Luka fumes and Alois ducks behind Claude. Alois can feel Claude stiffen but he pays no mind. Alois knows that he’s pushing it tonight, riding on that fine line where his touching could be seen as more, but Alois misses Claude’s touch terribly.
Claude has been so kind as to come over every time Sebastian and Luka had a football game and thoroughly debauch Alois each time. Such romps have left Alois sweaty and panting for more and it’s driving the blonde wild. Alois can’t seem to get enough of Claude’s touch no matter how much they do it. Alois feels sexy tonight with his black eyeshadow and it’s making him horny. Alois can’t wait for the high school party, planning for Luka and Sebastian to wander off drunk so Alois can have Claude all to himself. Given how Claude is eyeing Alois’ legs in his short booty shorts, Claude has similar plans.
“Nice costumes.” Claude nods towards Sebastian and Luka. The two look down at their football uniforms when Alois suddenly realizes that Claude looks absolutely ridiculous.
“Claude!” Alois gasps in horror. The boy feigns disgust and winces away from the ugly polo shirt Claude is wearing paired with some Tommy Bahama shorts. “What are you wearing?”
“A costume.”
“That is not a costume!” Alois shrieks and Luka slaps his brother upside the head for being so loud.
“Dude you look like you should be working at a country club or something.” Sebastian laughs.
“It’s my costume.” Claude says again, not fazed at all by his friend’s jeering. “I’m preppy.”
“You look gay.” Luka joins in laughing as well and Claude simply adjusts his glasses in annoyance at how immature his friends could be at times.
Luka and Sebastian suggest heading over to the party and Alois whines about not getting enough candy. A few more jokes about Claude’s ‘costume’ are made as the group heads off for the night. No one seeming to notice the sly look Alois sends Claude.
Alois is fifteen when he meets Ciel Phantomhive again
As the night has progressed, the night sky as become dark and full of stars. Many of the younger children have returned home with parents after a long night of trick or treating as the night has been turned over to the teenagers now. Cars drive slowly through the neighborhood, packed full with children, as they all head towards the largest house at the end of the street. The house is all light up with hanging lanterns and a smoke machine. A multitude of bodies can be seen dancing through the windows as a loud muffled beat shakes the entire house. This is the party that Luka had been talking about earlier and the boys’ pace picks up as the music gets louder.
“Dude this is awesome!” Sebastian cries, fist pumping in the air.
“The whole fucking school must be here.” Luka grins, eyes filled with excitement for the ultimate blowout that he’s sure this party will provide. There’s no doubt alcohol and maybe a few lines of cocaine hidden within this house.
“I’m going to get so fucking smashed.” Claude adds in and Luka cheers.
“Fucking cool.” Alois pipes up, foul language as means for the youngster feel included. Luka doesn’t even spare his little brother as second glance as he races over towards the rest of the football team that just pulled up. Some girls run by in costumes that look more like lingerie and Alois clings to Claude a little tighter.
“We’ll use the front door.” Claude whispers, watching as Sebastian wriggles through an open window.
“Aww and I wanted to climb down the chimney.” Alois grins cheekily and Claude squeezes Alois’ hand in his. They approach the front door and Alois laughs when Claude actually rings the doorbell.
“Claude!” Alois squeals, smacking the teen on his arm. “Like anyone’s going to answer.”
Claude ignores Alois’ little jabs to his arm and the blonde frowns, immediately stopping his actions. The teen seems a little on edge tonight and Alois doesn’t know if it’s because of him or something else. It’s so hard to tell with Claude, he’s always so fucking unreadable. Finally after a few moments the front door is yanked open.
“Ciel?” Alois jumps at the sight of his classmate. Ciel is dressed up as a pirate complete with an eyepatch and a sword. The other fifteen year old turns to Alois in surprise and then glares up at Claude. The look on Ciel’s face is almost… accusing.
Alois frowns, looking from Ciel to Claude, thoroughly confused at the exchange that is happening. Claude’s eyes are narrowed, communicating something to Ciel that Alois does not understand, body rigid. Ciel twitches ever so slightly before he’s inviting the pair. Alois stomps his foot not liking feeling left out.
“Ciel,” Alois speaks up to be heard over the music, “Pardon my French, but what the fuck are you doing here?”
“I live here.” Ciel glares back, “You come to a party and you don’t even know whose house it is?” Alois’ face burns in embarrassment.
“It’s Igor Phantomhive’s party.” Claude informs Alois, “Surely you knew that Ciel has an older brother.”
“O-of course!” Alois crosses his arms over his chest and looks away. Ciel simply rolls his eyes before looking to Claude oddly.
“I gotta go.” Ciel’s blue eyes were trained on Claude’s face, “I’ll see you next week?”
“Yeah.” Claude clears his throat and Alois’ head snaps back to attention. This was an extremely awkward situation and it was starting to piss Alois off.
“How the fuck to you two know each other?” Alois spat.
“He’s my math tutor.” Ciel responds not even blinking.
“Igor mentioned to me that his brother was struggling with math. I’ve been tutoring Ciel for the past year now.” Claude shrugs. Claude was acting strangely but Alois couldn’t pass up an opportunity to show Ciel up.
“Ha! Ciel Phantomhive needs a tutor? Wow Ciel who would have thought? Guess you’re not as smart as we all thought.” Alois sneered, eyes glittering with triumph. However Alois’ victory was cut short.
“Ciel is very smart. He just needs some fine tuning.” Claude interjects and Alois turns to Claude accusingly. Why was Claude standing up for Ciel?
“C-Claude.” Alois stutters and now it was Ciel’s turn to crow.
“See you in school Alois.” Ciel smiles, eyes flashing as he disappeared into the chaos that was the party.
Alois is fifteen when he accuses Claude
“What the fuck was that?” Alois sneers, kicking closed the door behind him. Now Claude and Alois were shut off from the party outside in one of the guest rooms of the Phantomhive household.
Claude sat down on the bed and stared at Alois blankly.
“I don’t know what you’re referring to.”
“Don’t give me that!” Alois shouts, rearing around to point an accusing finger at Claude’s chest. “Why the fuck do you know him?”
“I already told you that I’m his tutor for math.”
“I don’t believe you! I saw the way he was looking at you! I’m not dumb, Claude!” Alois shrieks. Out of an act of rage, he kicks over a nearby trashcan.
“I never accused you of such.” Claude sighs, bringing up a hand to run over his face. The teen looks tired but Alois is not done with him just yet.
“Don’t lie to me!” Alois screams particularly loud and annoyance flashes in Claude’s eyes.
“Why don’t you just shut up?” Claude snarls, actually has a real human reaction, and Alois falls back onto his rear. He stares up at Claude in fear. Alois has never seen Claude so angry or emotional.
“C-Claude.” Alois whimpers but Claude shakes his head.
“You’re not my boyfriend or whatever the fuck you think you are! We’re not exclusive Alois and quite frankly you’re a bit young for me.” Claude thunders and Alois gaps up at the teen. “I’m already fucking told you that I’m just his tutor so drop it! Stop being so fucking juvenile about everything.”
“Fucking grow up already.” Claude spits before yanking open the bedroom door. Alois crawls across the floor and grabs onto Claude’s leg.
“Wait!” Alois wails, eyes brimming with tears, “Where are you going?”
Claude does not respond. Out of character emotions falling back to the stoic expression that Claude normally wears. Claude has turned cold again. Even after all of the effort Alois put into warming Claude up and he’s reverted back to coldness. Alois whimpers when Claude tries to shake the blonde from his leg.
“Alois let go.” There is no anger in Claude’s voice. Claude has become robotic once more and Alois sobs.
“No, no.” Alois shakes his head, “I’m sorry! I didn’t mean it! Please Claude!”
Claude glances down at Alois as if he were a bug stuck to Claude’s windshield. Then the teen gives Alois’ head rough shove and pulls his leg free. Alois cries out as he falls backwards and the bedroom door his slammed shut. Alois can only stare at the white door in front of him and wonder how things managed to get fouled up so quickly.
