Keep Calm He's One Hell of a Butler Chapter 1- Confessions
So I love the Black Butler anime series, and decided to write this. I think it's funny how I have the same name as one of my favorite characters, granted we are of the opposite gender. I just want to say, prompts are welcome- Ciel/Lizzie. (Ciel is a demon!) This is an AU sort of- Ciel and Sebastian never left, and no one received the candy and note of Ciel's "death". Please note that I have not seen Book of Circus, Murder, or Atlantic as Netflix is stupid and does not offer it yet.
"Young Master, it is time to get ready for the day." Sebastian opened the curtain to light up Ciel's formerly green and blue room. The room was now a dark gray, since demons seemed to prefer dark colors. Ciel opened his eyes, blinked a few times, and sat up. Sebastian set his day wear on the side of the bed and began to dress the young master. Sebastian told Ciel the breakfast menu (A/N- I couldn't find anything on breakfasts on this time, sorry) and gave him a choice of biscuit or scone.
"Scone." Ciel replied.
"For this morning's tea, there is Earl Grey."
"What is on the schedule for today, Sebastian?"
"The schedule is clear today, but I remind you the Halloween ball is in three days, and Lady Elizabeth is scheduled to arrive tom-"
"CIIIIEEEEEEELLLLLLLL!" a high-pitched voice rang from the receiving room.
"Or today." Sebastian said simply. "Would you like me to escort her to her room, my young lord?"
"No." Ciel waved him off. "I shall see to Elizabeth."
"Ciiieeeellll?" Lizzie called again. Ciel walked down the long hallway as Lizzy climbed the first set of stairs.
"Patience, Lizzie! I'm walking down the hall, just stay there." Ciel called.
"Oh, ok!" Lizzy said. When Ciel reached Lizzy, she engulfed him in a suffocating hug. Luckily Sebastian came to help Ciel out of Lizzy's arms. It was a good thing demons did not need oxygen.
"I simply cannot wait for the ball!" Lizzie squealed.
"Please remind me why we must have this ball." Ciel groaned.
"Because it's Halloween, Ciel!" Lizzie yelled.
"Why do I care about this damned holiday?"
"Young master, it is ungentlemanly to swear in front of a lady." Sebastian bowed.
"Yes, yes." Ciel waved him away, again. Paula came running through the manor's doors carrying a few dresses. "Sebastian, help Paula with Lizzie's luggage."
"Yes, my lord." Sebastian put his hand over his 'heart' and bowed, then left. He came back carrying the rest of Lizzie's luggage along with Paula's.
"When you're done, bring tea to the drawing room." Ciel said, Sebastian nodded once. Ciel offered Lizzie his hand, and she clung to his arm as they went to the drawing room. Ciel and Lizzie sat opposite each other at the small table and within minutes, Sebastian brought tea in. He finished making it, and poured it into two tea cups.
"Lizzie, we need to talk." Ciel said simply. Lizzie's eyes widened and tears began to gather, expecting something completely different than where Ciel was heading. "No, not like that." Ciel reassured her. Sebastian leaned to Ciel's ear.
"You're not telling her, are you, my lord?" he asked.
"Yes, she's my betrothed, she deserves to know. I will need your help too. You may want to sit down and have some tea with us." Ciel said.
:"But, master-"
"It's not illegal, is it?" Ciel asked, irritated in his butler's persistence.
"Well, no, but-"
"Then there is no problem. Now sit, and have tea." Ciel said, joyed with his victory.
:"Ciel? What's wrong? Why is Sebastian having tea with us?" Lizzie asked innocently.
"Your questions will be answered, but first I have a pressing matter to discuss. I need your total concentration. And please, understand that I will always be the Ciel that you have been betrothed to since we were little." Ciel said. Lizzie threw Ciel a questioning look, but returned to her serious state of mind and nodded.
"Hmm." she said.
"Now, you do know of Heaven and Hell and the beings belonging to their respective territories?"
"Of course! And I know that one day, when we all die, we will go to Heaven!" Lizzie smiled.
"No, Sebastian and I will not." Ciel said.
"What?" Lizzie gaped.
"Elizabeth, Sebastian and I are demons." Ciel said as his visible eye and Sebastian's eyes turned pink and their pupils constricted. Lizzie gasped.
"I knew something was off about you, when you came back, but with Sebastian. I should've guess he was a demon. My question is, when were you turned Ciel?"
