Ciel woke up. It had been a week since the fight and he had yet to properly thank the captain. He sat up and looked over at Alois' bed. He had expected to see it empty as usual so was surprised when he saw the blond laying there. His eye narrowed when he saw that the other boy was obviously having a nightmare. He sighed and stood before walking over and gently shaking Alois' shoulder. "Alois. Wake up."
Alois shot up, eyes wide with horror. "No Luka!!!" He was breathing heavy, sweat falling from him as well as tears. He looked at Ciel and for a second they stared at eachother before Alois looked away. He wiped his face and tried to calm down. "...I told you I have nightmares..."
Ciel sat back on his cot. "Yes you did." He tilted his head as he watched the other male try to pull himself together. "Alois. I know almost nothing about you and I have a feeling that not many on this ship do either."
Alois stared at his hands before softly saying. "Only the Captain actually knows."
Ciel nodded. "Well...we have some time before we have to do our chores. Mind sharing?"
Alois looked at him with a frown. "Why would I do that? What do you care?"
Ciel shrugged. "Well, it would be good to know the truth about at least one person on this ship." When Alois' frown didn't go away he thought of something. "How about this. You tell me about you. And then I'll tell you some stuff about me. Deal?"
Alois thought about it before nodding. "Fine." He took a deep breath. "I lived in a village with my little brother Luka. We were orphans and stole to survive. One day we stole from the wrong person." He swallowed before continuing. "The man took us and then sold us. We were sold to the same man...I tried to save Luka...I begged him to let Luka go." Tears were slowly falling. "I...I became his whore willingly, just so he wouldn't notice Luka." His hands clenched. "But Luka became deathly ill. He died in my arms, smiling up at me." He wiped his tears, trying not to fall apart. "I continued being the old man's whore because that seemed to be the only thing I had. He eventually died and all us boys were sold off again." His eyes narrowed. "I was sold to a spider of a man. Claude. In public he pranced me around like a prized poodle or something. But in private...he didn't even acknowledge my existance."
Ciel had been silent through this, soaking it all in. Alois' attitude was making more and more sense. He bit his lip before saying, "But wasn't that a good thing? I mean...wasn't it better than being a whore again?"
Alois shook his head. "No...because Claude...well the way he acted with me in public. It was like he loved me. He would treat me nice and everything. I hadn't been treated that way in so long that I craved it...and then..."
Ciel finally understood. "And then when the show was over he pushed you aside. Right?"
Alois nodded. "Yeah. I hate that I loved him...I loved him until the day Captain Sebastian came."
Ciel blinked. "...what?"
Alois looked at him. "The crew raided the village I was in. When they came to Claude's house, Claude tried to fight Sebastian. But when he realized he'd loose he offered me up in hopes that Sebastian would save his life." He smirked. "Sebastian killed him anyway. He then brought me and the triplets on board."
Ciel blinked again. "Wait...the triplets were Claude's pets as well?"
Alois shook his head. "No. They simply were servants. I was the only pet." The room was silent for a bit before the blond spoke again. "So...that's my story. What about yours?"
Ciel bit his lip and looked away. "I lived with my parents in a mansion...we were very happy there. And then suddenly the mansion burned down one day. Someone had murdered my parents and burned our home. They kidnapped me, probably meaning to sell me or something. They were transporting me in a ship and I somehow managed to escape where they were holding me. I went on deck but a big wave hit and I fell overboard. And that's where the Captain comes in." He looked back at the other cabin boy. "Seems we booth got problems huh?"
Alois actually smiled a bit. "Yeah...guess we better start on those chores."
Ciel nodded and stood. "Sounds like a good idea." It seems like he just made a friend. He and the blond got dressed and got the required items before they went up to start the day. Ciel had some other things on his mind. He was going to thank the captain today as well as try to talk more in depth about what he learned of Sebastian's feelings for him. He put away his things once he finished the scrubbing. He turned to Alois, "Hey. Can you oversee the breakfast? I need to talk to the Captain."
The blond grinned and nodded. "Sure thing Ciel." He winked. "Better hope he didn't decide to sleep in the nude again~" Yup. Things seems like they were normal. But Ciel could tell that Alois and him were truly friends.
Ciel just sighed and shook his head before heading up on deck. He went to the Captain's quarters and knocked on the door. "Sir? May I speak with you?"
Sebastian's voice came through the door. "Of course Ciel. Come on in."
Ciel opened the door to find Sebastian standing in front of a map hung on his wall. Sebastian was wearing only the bottom half of his attire. Ciel swallowed and tried to ignore how...well yummy, Sebastian's top half was.
Sebastian didn't look away from the map as he tried to figure out their best option to make port. "If you have only come to stare then I'm afraid I may have to ask you to leave. But if you indeed have something to say then you should probably say it."
Ciel scowled and was about to give a snarky comment but he calmed himself, reminding himself why he was here. "I've come to thank you for saving me. I may not have been in much danger but you came back for me. So...thank you."
Sebastian glanced over at him. "I was wondering when you'd thank me. Took an entire week to get up the nerve." He smiled. "I owe Undertaker some money now."
Ciel's eyebrow twitched. "...you two bet on how long it'd take me to thank you?"
Sebastian shrugged and looked back at his map. "Of course. So, is there anything else you wish to say?"
Ciel looked at him and straightened his shoulders. "Yes. What did you truly mean when you agreed that you 'like' me?"
Sebastian blinked and looked at him again. "What did I truly mean? I thought I explained that. You make things interesting."
Ciel frowned again. Seemed he was already doing a lot of that this morning. "Yes, you said that. But is it only because I amuse you or is there another reason?"
Sebastian slowly smiled, his eyes getting a devilish gleam to them. "Oh dear boy. Do you have it in your head that I am falling for you?"
Ciel blushed and his eye widened. "Th-That's not what I said at all!!"
Sebastian fully faced him and chuckled darkly. "That may not have been what you said, but your expression proves that I am right." He walked over and grabbed the boy's chin. He leaned down so that their lips were almost touching. "You challenge me in a way that I have not been challenged in a long time. But I will never fall for a cabin boy." He then stood and went back to his map. "Please make sure the rest of the crew is awake and ready."
Ciel was a bit light headed and he hated it. He scowled at him, hands clenched into fists at his side. "Yes, sir." He turned and slammed the door before he leaned against it, willing any and all emotions to fade away. He suddenly began to grin. "So you won't fall for a cabin boy will you? Well it looks like I better go up in the ranks then." He squared his shoulders, a new goal in his mind now. He would make Sebastian eat his own words and he would PROVE that Sebastian actually had feelings for him. And then once that was done Ciel would break the bastard's heart. Yup. Seemed like a perfect plan.
Sebastian on the other hand wasn't really paying attentiont to his map. He was too busy contemplating what Ciel had said. "...am I seriously falling for a cabin boy?" His soft voice was meant for his ears only. "No, of course not. He is simply far too amusing." Once he reassured himself he then began to finish getting dressed. "Captains dont fall for cabin boys."
