Here is a new update! I am very sorry it took me so long! I know this isn't an excuse but I had a huge writers block.

Elizabeth looked up when she heard Ciel and Sebastian enter the room. Ciel had a slightly flushed appearance while Sebastian held his normal cocky stance. Elizabeth grinned and got up to go hug Ciel. When she did, Elizabeth noticed a slight shift in Sebastian's eyes before they turned back to normal. Shaking her head she looked up at the now taller Ciel with concern.
"Ciel, where were you? I do hope there wasn't anything wrong, if there was I would hope you know you can tell me. What is that strange smell?"
Ciel listened to Elizabeth talk and blushed at the question, when he was just about to open his mouth answer her Elizabeth squeezed tighter causing him to let out a tiny gasp of air. Elizabeth let go of her fiancé and smiled kindly.
"Why don't we sit down? After all, you look rather flushed."
Ciel nodded and took a seat in front of Elizabeth while Sebastian moved to his master's side, listing to the girl aimlessly talk. He watched as Ciel flinched the minute she began to mention possible guests, places, and clothes to wear at their upcoming wedding. After a while, Ciel dropped his head into his hand and sighed. He really did not want to do this.
"Elizabeth… Lizzy. I do not know how to tell you this but – but I cannot marry you. I see you as nothing more than a friend, I may have felt attracted to you at a younger age bit that was nothing more than an illusion I was allowing myself to feel. I regret not telling you this earlier on but I cannot change what was not said. I cannot be with you Elizabeth; you have my deepest and most sincere apologies."
Ciel watched as Elizabeth's eyes widened in shock and tears began to form at the edge of her eyes. She quickly let her head fall as she looked at her engagement ring; Elizabeth looked as though she was either going to beg him to say it was a joke or run. She chose the latter.
Elizabeth ran out of the room while Ciel was watching. He was about to run after her when Sebastian stopped him.
"Young master… Ciel I do not believe that it would be wise to follow after her."
Ciel looked up angrily at Sebastian, his eye brows rose and he glared snapping back a reply.
"What do you know, you stupid demon?!"
"I do know that she will come to forgive you in time if you let her go. I know if you chase after her you may be able to mend things between both of you faster, however I cannot say that I will be as forgiving if you leave here. If you leave now then you will be leaving any hope of a future with me."
Ciel dropped his eyes to the ground and felt his lip tremble. He turned to Sebastian and let a tear fall down his face as he hugged onto Sebastian. Sebastian smiled sympathetically and put one hand around Ciel and the other on the boy's soft hair. He felt a tremble and then a gasp.
"Seba…stian, Sebastian I'm sorry."
Sebastian's blood red eyes widened before he tightened his hold on Ciel and put his head on top of the dark blue hair as the boy began to cry silently into the demons chest. The door suddenly opened and there stood the maid of the house, the gardener, and the chef stock still. For a second there was silence and then a squeal came from Mey-Rin, signaling the end of it. There were suddenly shouted questions coming from the three that wore shocked faces. After a moment Ciel and Sebastian broke their embrace with a cough.
"This is not how I wished to tell my servants but I might as well do so now. I have had these feelings for Sebastian for quite a while now as has Sebastian. We could not act upon those emotions because of my engagement to Lady Elizabeth. However, I had just told her that I see her as nothing more than a friend and that is why you may or may not have just seen her run out. If you have any objections to this relationship you may say so now."
When Ciel finished talking he saw Finnie give a light smile and then let out a full out grin.
"The young master doesn't chain me up and has given me a place to live what more could I ask for. Both of you are very kind so you deserve to be able to fall in love."
With that Baldroy gave a slight nod and Mey-Rin almost had a nose bleed at the thought of her young master and the head butler having sex. Ciel watched as Sebastian made a slight sigh and put a hand on his hip.
"Don't you have duties to be attending to?"
The servants looked at each other nervously and then at Sebastian after nodding they scattered away. With the door closed Sebastian let out a breath of air and smirked, letting his arms once again fall around Ciel.
"Ciel, you look tired?"
Ciel nodded slightly and leaned into Sebastian, his arms dropping to Sebastian's waist. They sat like that in silence before Ciel let out a little sigh and closed his eyes.
"Sebastian, I wish for a bath and in addition to that order I require you to bathe with me. For my own safety of course, with how tired I am I could easily get hurt."
Sebastian smirked and dropped down to one knee with a slight bow.
"Of course, my love."
Could you tell that I was getting tired at the end? Hopefully not, but if you could it was because I had some major testing today and with my luck it was my least favorite subject advanced math. I truly am grateful for anyone who views my work. It means so much for me just to see anyone of notifications go up even just by one. You guys are what truly keeps me going to thank you again! –also I did not check my work, sorry.-
