Chapter 5- A Day with Alois Trancy

(Your POV)
"Ciel? Are you okay?" I ask. His smiling, cheery expression had disappeared.
"Oh, sorry, _______. I just was thinking about something," he says. He plants a short kiss on my lips. "Breakfast?" he offers.
"What about Alois?" I ask. We have become good friends in the few days that he's been here. He is so charismatic and sweet.
"I thought it could just be us this morning," he smirks. He sticks out his arm. I gladly take it and walk out the doors with him.
A quaint little circular table is accompanied by two white chairs. On the table is a vase with two roses, a blood red one and a blue-black one.
"Did Sebastian do this?" I ask as I marvel the thornless roses.
"I guess so," he replies. He pulls out my chair for me.
As soon as he sits, Sebastian brings out two plates. It's (f/m).
"My lady,"Sebastian says as he places it in front of me. He puts a plate in front of Ciel and goes back inside.
"What's with all of this?" I ask. In seconds it comes together. "Is it Alois?" I laugh.
Ciel grows a bright red. "No, not him at all!" He protests.
"Ok then," I say as I know he's lying. 'He's such a bad liar,' I laugh to myself.
We eat breakfast while reminiscing past memories. Suddenly, Sebastian comes out. He kneels next to Ciel and whispers fiercely. Ciel stiffens.
"I'm so sorry, _________. Something has come up with Funtom. Can you excuse me?" He asks as he stands.
"Yes, of course," I say.
He bows to me because even though he's an Earl, he says I'm his princess.
I also stand. Sebastian is already grabbing the plates. I grab the blue-black rose. I admire it in my hands. I then stick it behind my ear as Ciel has once done to me. Alois then walks out of the doors.
"Where's Ciel?" He asks.
"He left urgently because of a problem with Funtom," I say.
"With that said, would you enjoy a day in town with me?" Alois smiles.
I can't help but return the smile. "Yes, of course I would," I say to him as he walks up to me.
"Let's go then!" He laughs extending his arm. I grab it and we walk to a waiting carriage. Thomas is brushing the white horses. Claude is waiting with the door open.
"Where is Sebastian?" I ask curious.
Claude smiles. "He is unavailable to accompany us on this trip."
"Oh," I say more wary of this trip. Anyway, I still have Alois and Thomas accompanying me, and especially Alois should keep me safe. Claude reaches out his gloved hand. I grip it as I lift my self into the carriage. Alois is next in and he sits on my left. I have never been so close to him. His blond hair is so soft looking. And his eyes, they capture me in a spell-like trance. I snap out of it. What was I thinking? Claude sits across from me. We begin the long trip to London.

I slowly return to consciousness. I am comforted by a warm arm wrapped around me. I slowly open my eyes. Claude is stifling a laugh. I look up and see Alois shyly smiling. I laugh nervously and sit up.
"We are in London, ________," Claude says. It's true. I can see the people and buildings everywhere.
"The fair is in town, want to go?" Alois asks.
"Yes! I've only been once when I was still a small child," I say. Thomas stops the horses near the entrance. First, Claude steps out. Alois follows. When I step out, Alois picks me up and spins me. I laugh.
"What first?" He asks as we head into the gates.
"How about that?" I ask as I point to a spinning, open building with animals on it.
"The Caricell? Sure!" He says as he takes my hand and we race to it.
I sit on the brilliantly white mare and Alois sits on the black stallion. We smile as it spins.

After riding the Ferris wheel, we decide to get lunch.
"I know an excellent place," chimes Claude.
Alois shrugs and asks me if I want to. I nod. We follow Claude down busy streets. Then, I begin to notice that the streets are becoming more dingy and less populated. I get closer to Alois.
"Where are we?" I ask.
"I don't know," he whispers.
Suddenly, Claude stops. He points to a building with no windows.
"Here it is," he smirks and adjusts his glasses.
He walks up and opens the door. He steps inside. I grip Alois' hand and walk with him inside. After that, I don't remember anything.
