Ciel sat at his desk chair un-amused as Sebastian rambled on about how the continents were formed. He took his attention away from his lesson for a while to think, and then it hit him. Lizzie was coming to visit him today. This wasn't like any other normal visit either... oh no, it was far from it. Today is the day that they were first told, as children, that they were to be married.
Ciel never thought of the day as anything special, since they we're never really engaged anyway. But Lizzie felt differently. She thought the day was an occasion meant to be celebrated every time it came about. Ciel always disliked celebrations, even for his own birthday. Lizzie had of course made him celebrate that with her too. And so, he was not suprised that she would take this day to the extreme either.
"Young master. You don't seem to be very focused today. Is there something the matter?" Ciel looked up. Apparently Sebastian had asked him a question. A question he already knew the answer too, but took joy in making Ciel admit it. He tried avoiding answering the question as much as possible.
"No Sebastian, there is nothing the matter. This is just excruciatingly boring". Ciel finished his answer and gave Sebastian a weak glare. He looked around the room waiting for Sebastian's reply. Most-likely something about how he already knew what was bothering Ciel and why he wouldn't admit it. Following an explanation of what such an event was.
"Young master. You're not worried about Mrs. Elizabeth coming over today for you engagement anniversary are you?" Sebastian asked with a sly grin, taking too much pleasure in interrogating Ciel. Yep, he was right. Sebastian already knew the answer.
"No, of course not. I just wish that every time she come to my mansion she hadn't feel the need to dress everything in pink and call it "cute" ". Ciel stated. Oh how he hated walking down his stairs only to see the whole manor decorated in frilly ribbons and sparkles. Seeing his servants running around dressed as God-only-knows-what. And when he started down his stairs...
That's exactly what had happened.
Ciel and just come to the bottom of his stair-way as Elizabeth tackled him into a hug so tight it could induce death.
"Hello Elizabeth". Ciel mumbled against Lizzie's dress. "Why are you here again?" He asked. Already knowing the answer.
"Oh Ciel, call me Lizzie! I'm your wife, you don't have to adress me like I'm your aunt anymore. And you know why I'm here silly! I'm here because it's our engagement anniversarry!" She said, estaticly. Unfortunately, Ciel was as far from thrilled about this whole thing as possible. Their engagement celebration would obviously include Ciel having to spend a whole day with his fiance probably walking all around town having to hear her high-pitched, squeaky voice in his ear every five seconds. Although, there was always a bright side to everything right? At least he'd have Sebastian there to keep Lizzie from suffocating him with her death-like grip of a hug every time she saw something cute.
"Oh and Ciel, we can actually be alone today! I've already told Sebastian to take a day off from being your butler so we can have some quality time together". Great. Just great. Well, it looks like he'll be on his own with his wife all day today after all.
"Um Lizzie... where exactly are we going?" Ciel asked as they started up a strange road with trees lining each side. He hadn't known they would have to take such a long carrige ride out to wherever they were going.
"We're going to go visit the house we get to spend our honeymoon in after our wedding. Paula figured since we're getting married soon we might as well visit the house we'll be in for a while afterwards to make sure we like it". Lizzie said, looking at him with her signature smile. She reached up from her lap to take hold of his hand, to her suprise, Ciel had held her hand back. Lacing their fingers together. She blushed and looked up at Ciel. He was looking back at her and he started to blush. She smiled. He quickly realized he had been blushing and looked out the window.
Lizzie saw his reflection and for a second, she could've sworn she'd saw him smile. He squeezed her hand tight one more time and said: "Yeah, I'm sure we will".
