An Unexpected Proposal
" Lizzie!" Ciel yelled, running out into the rain after the sobbing sixteen year old.
Lizzie pauses, but does not turn to look at him.
" Lizzie what's the matter?" He questions, concerned at the girl's sudden outburst.
" You never listen to me Ciel!" She had yelled at him.
The young Earl had halted in the middle of the sentence, turning to face the young girl, surprised.
" Lizzie?" He had questioned, taking a step toward her.
The girl had just shaken her head, sprinting out into the rain.
" Lizzie, tell me what is the matter." He said, placing a hand on her shoulder.
" Your always to caught up in your work to talk with me." She said sadly.
He shook his head, turning her around to look at her.
" That's what your worried about?" He asked.
She nodded sadly, averting her eyes.
Ciel laughed, hugging her.
" Why didn't you just say something?" He questions.
She looks at him, puzzled.
Out of all the things the Earl Phantomhive was, affectionate was not one of them. And yet, here he was, hugging her tightly.
" I was scared you would think it foolish." She says shyly.
He laughs again, smiling.
" It is foolish." He says quietly.
She feels her eyes watering again until Ciel tilts her chin up.
" Lady Elizabeth Middleford, will you marry me?" He says.
Elizabeth was struck silent.
Ciel's face turned bright red.
" Well, uh, I mean, we are already are, legally and everything, but this just seems more… official." He says, embarrassed.
Lizzie smiles.
" I would be honored." She replies quietly.
Ciel smiles, and draws her in for their first kiss.
Little did they know, there was an awful lot of trouble awaiting them in the near future.

Believe it or not, this started out as a role play between a friend of mine and I. I was Ciel. And, to this day, we are still role playing this same story line. Oh, BTW, I do not own Kuroshitsuji.
