Do you?

(A/N) Hi, it's been a while I'm sorry. My laptop died and it's took me a while to save up for a new one. So this is a quick 2-3 chapter story to make up for the long wait for the next chapter of 'Return to me'. So I hope you can forgive me. Missed you all.

Sum: It's the moment of truth; it's time for the wedding of Ciel Phantomhive and his betrothed Elizabeth. But will they get to the 'I do's'?

Tick- tock.

Tick-tock

The sound of the clock seemed to grow louder with every second that passed, drowning out the nonsense blabbering from the joyful blond sitting opposite him. Claiming how happy and excited she was, how everything would look so wonderful and cute tomorrow. And what was so amazing that was to be held tomorrow?

Their wedding day

Yes, that's right. He had just turned eighteen a few days ago, but the Milford's wasted no time to chain him to their daughter. It wasn't that he hated the girl; after all, how could he when he knew she only tried her hardest to please him. It was simply a matter of feelings. Or rather, the lack of. He knew deep down he loved her as a cousin, but he could never be 'in' love with her the way a man should love his wife.

His heart had been stolen many years ago. But by who? You ask... well, by none other than our very own, red eyed butler. In fact the two had been secret; I guess you could call them, lovers for years now. Everything was going fine, no one had figured them out yet, they were happy to indulge in their new 'activity'. But, then it happened. The increase of his heart beating, the embarrassing blushing, and the feeling of wanting to be held in his butlers strong arms, there was no doubt about it. Ciel Phantomhive had fallen in love with the demon in human disguise. Before he knew it, time seemed to pass, until it got closer to his birthday, to his wedding day...then for a moment, he forgot about his fiancée, turned away from his deceased parents' wishes, and did something that would determine tomorrow's outcome.

"Ciel...Ciel...CIEL!"

Jumping in his seat, having been shocked out of his thoughts, he turned to face Elizabeth who was looking at him with a worried expression on her face.

"Ciel, are you feeling alright? I've been calling your name for a few minuets now."

"Forgive me I was lost in thought, what were you saying?" Ciel tried to smile, hoping it looked natural enough for her to believe him.

Elizabeth blushed slightly at the charming smile she received. "O-oh umm, I was just wondering where Sebastian was? I just realised I've been here almost every day this week and I haven't seen him once. Normally he's stuck behind you like a shadow." She laughed

Ciel's smile became more forced, "Sebastian is fine. He's merely busy overlooking the last of the arrangements for tomorrow. After all, tomorrow is of great importance."

Elizabeth squealed in delight as it seemed they were both awaiting their union to come as quickly as possible, before she once again burst into another frenzy of constant talking.

Ciel mentally sighed. If only she knew the real reason for Sebastian's absence.

(One week ago)

"Today young master, for afternoon tea we have a cup of your favourite Earl Grey and a slice of strawberry cheese cake. Please enjoy" Sebastian said, placing the items on his masters desk.

Ciel pushed his paper to one side; he had been unable to concentrate on them all day, his mind filled with the thoughts of the being in front of him and what he was planning on doing. Taking a sip of tea to clam his nerves, he placed it back down before looking towards his butler.

"Sebastian, what do you think of me having to marry Elizabeth soon?" He asked, not showing any emotion on his face. He needed to know the honest answer.

Sebastian seemed a bit shocked to have been asked such a question but was quick to hide it with his usual smirk, as he bowed slightly to look into his masters' one blue eye. "I'm sure she will bring back the life into the mansion, as well as a lot of pink. But I'm sure your parents would be proud bochan."

Ciel glared at the reply he received. "Let me rephrase that, given our circumstances, how do you feel about me having to be with Elizabeth instead of you?"

"Milord, you've been betrothed to her since you were young. You knew the day would come when you would have to marry her. It's what your parents wanted, Lady Elizabeth most certainly agrees, if you want to continue on with your Phantomhive duty, then what other option is there."

"Stop dodging the question." Ciel growled in annoyance. Closing his eye he sighed before getting down from his chair, walking around his desk till he was standing before his butler.

"Milord?" Sebastian asked, confused as to what his little master was doing?

Looking away to avoid eye contact, he simply offered a hand to the demon. "Dance with me"

Sebastian thought he must have heard wrong. His master, asking to dance? It was laughable considering the masters skills on the dance floor.

"Forgive me bochan, did you just-"

"I shall not repeat myself. Just...do as I say. This shall most likely be our last one, so just trust me and follow my lead."

Sebastian smiled. "Of course, after all, how often is it I get to dance with you all to myself?"

Getting into position, Ciel lead them into a classic ballroom waltz in a perfectly flawless formation, every move fluid and graceful. This leaving Sebastian completely dumbfounded. Since when could Ciel dance?

"Bochan, if you don't mind me asking, when did you learn how to do this without me knowing?"

Ciel's face turned red as he mumbled something.

"I'm sorry, but I couldn't hear you."

"I said, I always knew how to dance. I just made mistakes so you would have to hold me longer." Ciel half shouted, looking down at the floor embarrassed.

Sebastian smiled a real genuinely happy one. "My bochan, who knew you could be so adorable. Tell me, what else have you managed to hide from me?"

Suddenly Ciel stopped dancing; instead he took hold of the end of Sebastian's tie pulling him down to his height, before whispering, "This..." then he kissed him.

Before Sebastian could respond he pulled back, he looked into the red eyes of his butler, his demon as he finally told him, "I love you Sebastian"

Sebastian froze at the words. After all this time, even once they took the next step in their ...relationship? Never had there been a mention, or even a hint of feelings. Now all of a sudden his master was confessing his love?

Keeping his face natural, Sebastian pulled back, taking a step away to put some space between them. "What has brought this on milord?"

Ciel tried not to wince at the sudden coldness from Sebastian. "This is how I've felt for years. I didn't plan for it to happen, it just happened along the way. I didn't tell you because how was I to know how a demon would react to love? Especially from the one they have a contract with."

"Bochan I-"

"No" Ciel interrupted. "Don't speak. Just hear me out. I'm not forcing you to say you feel the same, I won't order anything like that, it wouldn't be fair for either of us. But I've been thinking. About my parents, about the wedding... about you. So I'm going to give you a choice."

Sebastian nodded, showing he understood.

Ciel took a deep breath. "I don't wish to marry Elizabeth, but I don't want to force anything on you either. So I want you to go somewhere, away from the Phantomhive estate, and think about what you want. If you realise you feel for me the way I do you, I want you to stop the wedding before it reaches the part where we say 'I do'. Otherwise you don't come, I marry Elizabeth, and you remove the seal and never come back."

Sebastian was once again shocked. Never see the young master again? He frowned. Why?

As if he knew what the other was about to say, Ciel shook his head, a small, sad smile on his lips. "I wouldn't be able to stand seeing you constantly while pretending to love my 'wife', without it hurting."

Sebastian, went to take a step towards Ciel, a hand reaching out to touch his face, mouth opened to speak. But instead Ciel put a hand up as a gesture for him to stop. "I need you to be sure of your answer, so as I said you shall remove yourself from my side until the day of my wedding. You have a week Sebastian. Starting now"

Sebastian looked like he wanted to say something, but an order was an order, so instead he bowed, hand over heart, saying as always, "Yes, my lord" before he was gone.

(Present time)

He had been constantly thinking about it, but despite the outcome, he knew he had made the right decision to tell him. After to all, should the worst come, it was better to know the answer than to live in the regret of wondering what could have been.

He spared a look at Elizabeth, who looked perfectly happy, and felt a wave of guilt hit him. He tried to ignore it and looked to the clock; surprised to see how late it was.

"Elizabeth-"

"Lizzy."

"Right, Lizzy. I think it's time we both turn in. It's rather late and tomorrow will be a busy day."

"Oh my, your right. I guess I'll see you at the altar then" She grinned "I can't believe tomorrows the big day. Night Ciel" She placed a quick peck on his cheek before hurrying off. Leaving Ciel alone with his thoughts once more.

"Yeah, tomorrows the big day"
