Valentines Feelings
14th February
7:00am
"Ciel! Ciel! Ciiiieeeelll!" The doors flew open revealing a blond energetic girl jumping onto the bed and throwing her arms around the Earl choking him. How is she so energetic so early in the morning? That girl never seems to be out of energy.
"Elizabeth!" Lizzy giggled as she released the irritated boy now fully awake from the encounter, one of his eyes covered by his hair. Well, at least he doesn't need to be woken up again.
"What are you doing here?" Ciel asked trying to sit up; he look behind her towards my direction where I stood by the doorway, I had kept a smile as the Earl glares at me.
"Ciieelll…Don't you remember what day is it?" Lizzy pouted. It was cute to see the boy so confused.
I could see him glancing in my direction for any signs or clues that might have helped but I pretend not to have noticed, it wouldn't be fitting of the Phantomhive if he did not even know what the date was. Sighing, as he realised he wasn't going to get any help, his gaze turned back to the girl in front of him once again before realisation dawned on him.
"February 14th….V-valentines day." He spoke in my usual tone of voice but I could tell that he would probably make a complaint to me about it later.
"Can we go to the new store that opened in town today? Pleeaasseeeee?" Lizzy pleaded.
"I suppose." The girl screamed in happiness.
"Elizabeth!" He spoke sternly trying to bring her back to earth. "Can you at least let me get ready first?" She blinks a couple of times before realising that Ciel was still wearing his white night shirt and that his hair was still a mess. I could see her face redden as she jumped.
"Ack! Sorry." She hopped off the bed and headed out of the room whilst I made my way in and closed the doors behind me walking towards the drawers to gather clothes for the young master. Before anything was taken out, I could hear the girl shouted through the door.
"Oh yeah! Ciieelll I brought you some clothes, I think it will look so cute on you!"
"Ugh…" Was the only reaction I heard from the boy as he closed his eyes and let himself fall backwards on to the bed, it was amusing to see the boy like this. Holding back a laughter, I continued with dressing him as usual.
7.30am
"I was right that look so cute on you!" Lizzy screamed as she flung herself onto Ciel into a hug.
"Young Master, Lady Elizabeth? Breakfast is readied in the other room waiting for the both of you." I interrupted, leading the two into to whether breakfast was held. The both of them talked, well, mostly Lizzy kept talking while Ciel just answered whenever necessary. I stood at the far end of the room watching the both of them as they eat.
A moment later, Meirin came in and bowed the two before heading over towards me, why do I think it wasn't going to be anything good?
"U-umm….S-Sebastian, sir, we have a slight problem outside…" She said flustered.
"What's wrong this time?" Just great, can they not do anything correctly?
"U-umm…W-well u-um while we were tidying up..eerr. We kind of b-broke the dish c-cabinet." I stared blankly at her, trying not to snap out at her, it's not befitting while we have guest around afterall. Closing my eyes, I tried to take in a deep breathe before the both of us excuse ourselves from the room.
9am
Once the both have finished, I went in to clear the plates while Lizzy continued with her conversation; something about her brother and mother. When the conversation came to an end Ciel spoke.
"Well, then shall we go?" Lizzy nodded.
Holding the door open, I motioned for the two to exit, stepping outside behind them. In front, a carriage was waiting; I opened the carriage door and gestured for them to board. Lizzy and Ciel carried on the conversation, I had noted that Ciel was being more respondent to the girl than normal as the journey went by but didn't say anything.
Once at the store, Lizzy and Ciel browsed around; it was quite a modern looking store, there were toys and decoration on the shelves.
"Awww, this is so pretty!" Lizzy held up a pink heart shaped crystal necklace in front of her. There was a gold intricate pattern around it making it look elegant and sweet.
"Do you like it? It makes a great Valentine gift." The shop keeper inferred as the girl tried it on.
"Do you like it? I will buy it for you." Ciel suggested making Lizzy blush.
"Bu-" Lizzy started to protest but Ciel interrupted her.
"I insist. It is Valentine's day after all. It is most appropriate to give a gift for my fiancé on this day." Ciel smiled. He didn't seem like his usual behaviour today.
The day continued as they carried on walking around town and stopped by a restaurant for dinner, Ciel had been more talkative towards Lizzy today. Just to please her perhaps? She was his fiancée afterall. But soon the day was over, we started to head back dropping off Lizzy on their way home. The young master was quiet as he sat on the other side gazing out of the window.
10:30pm
We reached the manor, as I followed behind Ciel up to his bedroom, where he stood as I opened the tap, letting the bathtub fill up while getting him undress. Whilst in the bath, the boy spoke.
"I think I will be going to bed now. It's been a tiring day." Ciel's voice was quieter than it would have been normally, I noticed but didn't say anything apart from my usual response.
"Yes, My Lord."
Lifting him out of the tub, I wrapped a towel around him drying him off before putting his usual night gown on. As he lay in bed, I picked up the candle and started heading out the door.
"Well then, goodnight, My Lord." Just as I reach the door, a voice was heard from behind.
"…ebas…tian." Turning, I noticed the boy glance towards me but then quickly looked away again.
"Is there something troubling you?" I asked keeping my usual composure. The boy mumbled but it wasn't quite audible apart from a few words like 'like' and 'Meirin'/
"I..beg your pardon?"
"D-do you like Meirin?"
There was a long pause as I tried to comprehend what he was trying to ask, a smirk slowly edging its way to my lips.
I don't particularly like writing in first person, because I feel like I'm writing the word 'I' a lot. And it's a little difficult. Well, for me at least. Since I don't particularly like reading in first person but it fit with what I was writing. So hopefully it wasn't as bad as I think it is.
It was difficult trying to end this chapter since I don't want to give too much away and then repeat everything in the next.
