"God, so adorable..." A voice said that made both of them freeze and look at the source.

Alois didn't recognize the odd man. He had orange-brown hair and purple eyes, making him think that he's not human at all. He also had a tattoo under his eye, but he couldn't see it without being uncomfortably close to the strange-looking man.

"I thought you were dead!" Ciel exclaimed, so many questions existing in his head. Mostly how he got in.

"And so, I thought to myself..." The man started. Alois was confused. "... Young love from two men is so taboo, but beautiful." He said, smiling in a mechanic way. 

Ciel blushed, then shooed his thoughts away. "What do you want, and how are you alive?" He demanded. "I then thought, Master left me astray, forgetting I was a puppeteer. My small, minuscule wound is similar to his heart." He offered. 

Alois's head was spinning with all the questions. Like, all of them. He stood up straight and walked carefully towards Ciel.

"Wait, so you just never die-" Ciel started before being cut off by Alois. "Who are you?" He demanded the man. 

The man bowed in a very robotic way. "My name is Drocell Keinz. Nice to meet you, Alois." He said smoothly. Alois stepped back. Why does he know his name, what's going on? "Hi." 

Ciel glared at Alois as a warning. "How'd you get in?" He asked sternly. "Wood and clay will wash away, wash away, wash away~" Drocell sung to the two. "Creepy-" Alois muttered.

"And I thought, despicably, that for the Phantomhive manner, that's not true." The puppeteer said, cocking his head to the side. Ciel jumped at that. 

"Hey, don't say that!" Alois said, much to Ciel's surprise and slight horror. "So, I thought, is the Queen's spider protecting the Queen's puppy? What an odd pair." He spoke with a smirk. 

"Puppy?" Ciel questioned. Alois found it cute. "Is it a crime to protect a- friend?" Alois asked, flinching at his statement. 'Friend' tasted bad in his mouth. It just didn't describe their relationship well enough. More like a business partner, an enemy, and a c- a what?

Drocell chuckled. "I then thought, Of course, a friend, nothing more?" He asked in an accusatory way. "What's that suppose to mean?" Alois said in a sassy way. Ciel was confused, what are they talking about? And why is he not aware? 

"And I wondered, how dense can a Phantomhive be? Not realizing the obvious liking Trancy has taken to him." Keinz said, moving his arm to point at Ciel. Both boys blushed.

"Excuse me?" Ciel demanded harshly. How would that ever be possible??

Alois flinched at his harsh tone. That was a little mean-

"Why would you begin to assume that? Who do you think I am?" Ciel growled. Drocell's eyes widened. Oh no.

Alois stood up straighter, rubbing his arm, and looking away from them both. That was really mean-

"Then, as I realized my mistake, I thought what is so wrong with that thought?" Drocell asked steadily. "What's wrong? Take a wild guess. Alois wouldn't try that with me, he wouldn't- would-" Ciel said, then looked at the floor, twiddling his thumbs. "Why would he want someone unpure, Drocell?" He muttered. 

Alois was getting lost in his thoughts, not realizing that Ciel just... didn't think he was desirable. Also, he apparently wasn't aware of what Alois had been though, so that's good to know.

"Have you ever thought that people don't need you to be pure to love you?" Drocell said in an oddly normal way. Ciel jumped again. "You wanted to-" He said, getting cut off. "No, Master wanted too. I never wanted cohesive thoughts." He corrected, causing Ciel to stop for a moment

Alois walked to the door and forced Drocell out of the way. He walked out the door and stomped out. Ciel got confused, which has been a theme he doesn't enjoy. He got up and walked to the doorway. "Alois?" He asked confused. 

Drocell sighed. "And, at last, I thought that Trancy was hurt." He said to the young master, looking at His Majesty walk away. "You were right to stare, his hindquarters are quite prominent," Drocell said with a creepy grin.

"Oh my god! I wasn't, I-" Ciel tried to defend himself, then started blushing brightly.
