kuroshitsuji one x one with Ciel

[tooru]

Alois, being who he was, purposefully sat at the head of the table with a smirk. The blonde haired boy slouched in the seat, making himself comfortable in Ciel's absence. His blue eye swatched Sebastian carefully.

Ciel tried to pull himself as far away from Claude as possibly in the contriscting space. He was infuriated, and almost wanted to slap Claude. "I desire nothing else. Now I simply live until I die." And shook his head at the offer of tea and food. "I will not accept food from you."

[pep]

Sebastian finished pouring the tea, topping it off with a sugarcube which quickly dissolved, considering this tea was extremely bitter and needed sugar for it to taste exceptional. Ciel would usually prefer two cubes of sugar with this mix, but considering this was Alois, the butler didn't know what the blonde preferred. Bringing over the pie on a delicate, spotless plate, as well as the teacup on a saucer, he set them down in front of the Trancy boy. "I feel no interest in hurting you, but if need be, I will. This interrogation is serious, as if my master gives me a call, I must know where he is," said the demon, eyes thoughtful. "Please tell me everything you know about where Ciel Phantomhive is being kept."

Claude sighed and shook his head. "You're going to be hungry eventually. Let me know if you're hungry at all, as I will prepare something right away," he answered, a smile tugging at his lips again. "You really are an amusing, stubborn one. Another reason your soul will be so delicious. I will take it, no matter what. Now, I'm going to leave you alone for now. Don't do anything rash." The butler stood, bowing once more, before heading out of the room and closing the door behind him.

[tooru]

Alois nodded. "I'm telling you, I really don't know much. All I know is that it's some... three miles from my manor." He lifted the fork and took a bite of the pie cautiously.

Ciel shook his head, causing his hair to fall in front of his marked eye. He layed back down on what he found to be a quite uncomfortable bed. The boy reached up and touched the marked eye gently. "Perhaps I should just make Sebastian come get me now. There's no way I'm letting that dirty pig get anywhere near me again." He scowled at the very thought of Claude even so uch as touching him.

[pep]

Sebastian grinned slightly, pleased that Alois was willing to cooperate so easily. The information could easily be false, of course, so he'd have to look into it later. Upon noticing the hesitance in eating the pie, the butler chuckled and took the seat to the left of the chair at the head of the table. "You don't actually believed I've poisoned the pie, have you?" he asked, amusement present in his facial expression. "I would not stoop to such inhumane levels to earn answers."

Claude stood outside of the door, listening for any shuffling or creaking of the floorboards but hearing nothing but a small murmuring. "Speaking to himself, is he?" he thought before his smug expression fell. He could be summoning Sebastian. Though he doubted it, the demon approached the front door and locked the bolts and padlocks, though Sebastian just as easily could burst through the ceiling. If a true threat approached, he'd have to take Ciel to the basement to hide him there.

[tooru]

Alois shrugged. "You never now." Before he started eating normally. "Claude didn't really tell me very much, I guess he thought I would betray him or something." The blonde sighed and shook his head, as he picked up the tea cup.

Ciel sat back up. "Who's to say I just can't walk out of here myself?" He turned and slipped out of the messy bed, his bare feet hitting the cold wooden floor, and he let a shiver race up his spine. The boy reached down and picked up the eye patch on the floor, but not feeling like putting it back on, simply held it in a clenched fist.

[pep]

Sebastian sighed gently, understanding the words perfectly. Surely Claude wouldn't even want Alois to know where he was hiding the individual with the soul he craved. The butler watched Alois pick up the teacup and then averted his gaze elsewhere. "Is Claude really as cold as he is to me?" he asked, plain curiosity inspiring the question. He didn't know if Claude really was so cruel and addicted to Ciel's soul or if he just showed it to Sebastian to show off or something.

Claude heard the floorboards creak and he knew Ciel was walking around now. The demon narrowed his eyes and opened the bedroom door, noticing the teenager was trying to walk out of the room. "Anything wrong, Ciel?" he asked blankly, not even bothering to show tones of annoyance or confusion that he was feeling.

[tooru]

Alois nodded slightly. "Claude can be a little bit... cruel at times." He sighed, leaning back in the chair he was seated at. "What about you? Are you always nice and kind to Ciel?"

Ciel scowled as he watched Claude. "Well, there is something obviously wrong. After all, I do want to get out of this prison and back to my manor." He punched the wall in anger, causing the tender skin on his knuckles to tear open and blood came seeping out.

[pep]

Sebastian stared at Alois for a moment before deciding his answer. "I am whatever my young master tells me to be. Of course, I treat him with respect at all times, but if my master tells me to be cruel, I will do do. I treat him with utmost kindness if he doesn't say otherwise," he answered, a small smile curling the corners of his lips upwards. "I can expect Claude usually hides his frustration but lashes out at times. He seems like that type."

Claude quickly took a hold of the Earl's hand, frowning in disapproval. "Now look what you've done," he murmured, eyes transfixed on the blood. He lifted Ciel's hand to his lips and licked up some of the blood, eyes flashing with many emotions for a brief moment, need being one of the easiest to see, and then pulled out his glasses and put them on with a swift motion. "Come, let's get you bandaged up." He led Ciel to the kitchen, despite his fighting, and pulled out bandages, cotton swabs, and some medical alcohol from the cupboard and turned back to the Phantomhive, setting the medical tools on the table and sitting in the chair beside him.

[tooru]

Alois nodded. "He's never actually physically hurt me, but I bet he would if he was angered or irritated enough." The blonde straightened up slightly, his back hurting from slouching too much.

Ciel growled as he was forced out to the kitchen, weirded out slightly that Claude had licked some of the warm blood away. "I don't need your help, perhaps I meant to hurt myself." He insisted stubbornly, crossing his arms. Ciel eyed the medicine warily, knowing it stung.

[pep]

Sebastian noticed the discomfort present in Alois' eyes when he straightened up from slouching. "Are you finished with your tea?" he asked, expression blank but hinting with the slightest bit of question as he didn't realize how someone could appear so suddenly hurt by doing a simple, lazy action like slouching. "We could head out to the garden for a walk. I presume your room is rather dull during the daytime while you're not sleeping, so we can try to make the most of this negative experience."

Claude rolled his eyes, opening the alcohol and applying some to a cotton swab. "This may sting, and I apologize in advance," he apologized, tightening his grip on Ciel's hand slightly so he couldn't tug away and make it more work for the both of them. He dabbed the open wound with the swab gently, knowing it would clean out the wound entirely and help avoid infection. Once finished with that, he set the swab beside him before taking a small square of gauze he'd also brought with him from the cupboard and pressed it against the wound before firmly bandaging it up with near-perfect skill. "Does that feel alright?" he asked the Phantomhive once finished, staring at the bandages.
