Narrator's POV

Astre Phantomhive yawned as he woke up the following morning, immediately noticing Ciel was not in bed with him.

The teen found that strange, as his brother was rarely ever far from him, and certainly never early in the morning.

Getting up, he dressed and left the bedroom, going to the dining room where he noticed no one else was there -not even a servant.

"Where is everyone?" Astre thought, sitting at his usual place

On the plate, he noticed a small card reading:

"Go to the Sirius Room for a surprise."

Instantly recognizing his brother's handwriting, Astre did just that, walking downstairs to the Sirius Private Event Room.

After opening the Canis Major doors he walked into the room that was modled after a roman ruin, the ceiling covered in stars shining above him.

Going around the fountain, Astre found his brother awaiting him.

"What is going on?" The young twin asked

"Last night you offered me a chance to show you what life would be like without the first two rules, I figured I should start it with a surprise for you." Ciel explained

Astre smiled, "Really? What is the surprise?"

Ciel pulled a small box out from under the chair he had been sitting on, presenting it to his twin.

The younger blunette opened the wrapped box and removed the lid, seeing a pair of light blue eyes staring back at him.

"To whom do these eyes belong to?" Astre asked

"Since we could not punish Alois, I had grandfather search for a look-a-like." Ciel smiled, "Do you like it?"

"I do." Astre replied, "Where is the rest of the 'Alois' copycat?"

Ciel did not reply with words, but he pulled another much larger box from behind his chair.

Astre removed the wrapping off of that box as well, opening the lid to reveal a tied-up teen that greatly resembled Alois Trancy.

The blunette smiled at that, Ciel could be so predictable sometimes.

It had been only a matter of time before he found someone to torture in Alois' place.

Grandfather helping in the matter had been a bit surprising, but not really when he was obsessed with them.

There was something about the Phantomhive Family that attracted and created obsessive people.

"As much as I will enjoy this game, skylight, this benefits you more than me." Astre pointed out

"This is just the appetizer of our day, starshine." Ciel replied, "I have planned out the entire day, this is just a pre-breakfast game."

"Very well, let's start then." The younger twin said, sitting down

Ciel kicked the box onto its side, throwing the blinded blond out in the process.

"Do you remember what I said I would do to Alois, Astre?" The elder twin asked

"Yes, I recall you saying you would make him dance on hot coals if he was of Sirius blood. Or amputate him piece by piece if not." Astre answered

"Exactly! I already had Blavat test him, he is a worthless Vega." Ciel beamed, looking as if he was a child on Christmas Day

"Good, let us get started shall we?" Astre giggled

"Please, let me go!" The Alois knockoff begged, his gag no longer covering his mouth

Astre tsked, "You forgot to remove his tongue, Ciel, you mentioned something5 about whipping him with it."

"Ah yes, I did say that!" Ciel replied, his giddy smile still covering his face, "Forgive me for forgetting."

With that, he grabbed a pair of clamps he had brought in his 'doctors' box.

Three tugs at full strength was all it took for all ten inches of the tongue to come out.

'Alois' screamed in agony, or at least he tried to, spitting up lots of blood as the muscle was ripped from his body.

Ciel pouted, disappointed splayed on his features, "This is much shorter than I imagined it might be."

"I feel the same." Astre admitted, "You can slap him with it, at least."

"That will not be as meaningful." The elder twin whined, "That is essentially like slapping him with a glove!"

Personally Astre did not see the correlation, but he agreed with his lover regardless.

With that, Ciel slowly cut up the Alois knockoff.

He started with the hands and feet, moving up each limb u too he got to the torso before cutting off his head.

After breakfast, Astre looked at his brother, "While today has been fun, it has not been any different from any other. You have not done much to convince me."

"Nor have I been trying to yet, as I said earlier, that was just a gift." Ciel replied

Astre smirked behind his tea cup, pretending to drink, "I do hope so, you have never disappointed me before."

Ciel's face froze slightly, it was clear he had caught the hidden double meaning.

You have never disappointed me before. But you are currently.

"I assure you that you will be very pleased with how the day goes." Ciel smiled, "The gift earlier was just an expression of my devotion to you: my brother, my love, my lady, my queen, my other half, my soulmate."

Astre alley his smile show that time, he loved Ciel so much.

He could not wait to see what else was in store for their day...
