"He loves me...he loves me not" Said a voice as the person ripped petals from a flower. "He loves me...he loves me not" the voice continued, but then the person bite their lip. "He loves me not" the person layed in the shadows as the flower fell to the floor torn apart.
"It's not fair...how could he? I loved him, I've known him longer than HIM" the person said. "It's not fair Ciel, it's just not fair" Lizzy said as tears fell from her face. She then remembered what her mother told her on they're way home.
Flash Back
"You are never to marry this man" Miss Middleford told her daughter. Lizzy's eyes widen in shock.
"M-mother?! why? I love him!" She said as tears began to form in her eyes.
"Stop it Lizzy! he never loved you! he was never even happy that he was going to marry you!" Miss Middleford yelled. Lizzy sat there with sadden eyes and said nothing.
"Sweet heart listen you'll just have to marry someone else" Lizzy's mother explained.
"It's...it's because of him...isn't it?" She said in cold voice, Miss Middleford looked at her daughter.
"Whatever do you mean?" She questioned.
"Sebastian...Ciel is only concerned ..of him" Lizzy said in bitter sadness. Miss Middleford looked at her daughter with pity.
"It would seem so darling, I know it seems unfair, but this is how reality is" She explained.
End of Flash Back
"If I can't have Ciel...then neither can he!" Lizzy said in hatred, she then stood up and grabbed a coat.
At the Phantomhive house
The snow was still falling from the sky and Ciel wouldn't want it any other way. It seemed so peaceful and beautiful, the blue haired child stood up from his chair in his office and looked through the window. The snow fell so nice and gently, it's been a week since Sebastian's birthday and the butler seemed to smile more gently at Ciel. Of course Ciel didn't mind, but what bothered him the most was how was he suppose to tell Sebastian on how he felt.
"How should I tell him..?" Ciel sighed, he then thought a moment. "How do I know that he loves me as well..?" he continued. "Sebastian..you have no idea how crazy me you make me feel". The blue haired child walked back to his chair and sighed once more. "Sebastian..."
"Yes?, My Lord" Said the butler as he stood in front of Ciel's desk. The child almost stood up in fright.
"S-sebastian! how did you get here? why are you here?" He questioned his butler, Sebastian merely smiled at his master and answered.
"Well Young Master I heard you calling on to my name, so I came to see if there was anything you needed" He explained to the small child, Ciel looked at Sebastian nervously, and his butler took a note of that.
"Is there something wrong?, Young Master?" He asked with a hint of concern behind his voice, Ciel layed his eyes half opened and was debating weather to tell him or not.
"Sebastian..do you-" Before he could finish his question there came a loud voice.
"Ciel!!" Both Ciel and Sebastian turned to the source of the sound, coming out of the door came in a blond giggling little girl.
"Lizzy?!" Ciel responded shocked. 'How could she be here?! I thought her mother called off the wedding!' the little master thought in surprise. Lizzy ran up to Ciel and gave him one of her famous tight hugs, and again Ciel couldn't breath from the tightness.
"L-lizzy! c-can't...breath!!" He uttered, the blond little girl let go of him and quickly muttered a thousand sorry's for hurting him. The blue haired child contained his posture and sighed inwardly.
"Lizzy how are you here?..I thought"
"What? that just because mother called off the wedding doesn't mean I can't visit?" She said as she smiled at him.
"N-no that's not what I meant" He said regretting ever asking.
"Would Miss Middleford like some tea?" Sebastian said trying to stay claim, but in reality in the inside he was growing with jealousy.
"Sebastian?" Ciel questioned, he wasn't an idiot he knew that Sebastian hated when Lizzy came to visit.
"Yes I would love some! What about you Ciel?" Lizzy questioned with a bright laugh.
"Oh..uh yes please" he stuttered, at the moment he was in thought.
"Then I shall return in a moment" Sebastian informed as he was about to make his way toward the door.
"Mr. Sebastian wait!" Lizzy called after, the butler turned around and looked at the blond girl. "I want to come with you! I always wanted to know how tea was made!" she said in a bubbly tone.
"Lizzy don't you know how tea is made already?" Ciel asked as an eye brow rose up in question. The blond girl shook her head.
"No mother hasn't taught me anything about tea, and if I want to make a good wife with someone else I have to know how to make tea!!" She answered, Ciel only nodded in understanding.
"Alright then, I guess I should get to work before it gets late. Those darn papers aren't going to get done by themselves I guess" He said in an annoyed tone.
"We'll be right back! so don't go anywhere Ciel!" Lizzy joked as she walked out with Sebastian. Once Ciel knew he was alone he bit his lip in anger.
"Tch, with Lizzy here I'll never get ask Sebastian the question"
With Sebastian and Lizzy
Sebastian kept in silence as he and Lizzy walked there way towards the kitchen.
"So how have you been Mr. Sebastian?" the blond girl questioned as the awkwardness was starting to bother her.
"Good, and you Miss Middleford?" He responded trying to be polite, but in the inside he just wanted to tare this girl apart.
"Oh Mr. Sebastian you can call me Lizzy you know! any friend of Ciel is a friend of mine!" She said bubbly again. Sebastian merely gave her one of his usual smiles, once they made their way to the kitchen the butler got some water and started to boil it.
"You boil water in tea?!" Lizzy said amazed, the butler yet again smiled at her, but this time he was a little annoyed. "I always thought that you put the green tea leave and it would make the tea!" she continued.
'This is the girl my little master was about to marry with?!' Sebastian thought at the almost shocked stupidity she was showing him. Just as the water boiled just right, Sebastian got a tea leave and put it in the boiling water, he waited a few minutes until he got the tea kettle then pour the tea finally made into the kettle. Lizzy took this chance to speak.
"Hey Mr. Sebastian do you think we can use those pretty cups up there!?" She said in excitement, the butler looked at the cups she was pointing at and he inwardly sighed he knew he couldn't say no to her.
"If that is what Miss Middleford wants, then that is what we'll use" He informed her as he turned his back Lizzy got to the tea kettle and quickly took out a little bottle of liquid and poured it in.
"Miss Middleford what are you doing?" Sebastian questioned as he got the tea set.
"Mr. Sebastian I told you to call me Lizzy! and I was just smelling the tea! it smells great! what kind of tea are we having today?" She asked with a smile, the butler settled down the tea cups and plates to the tray and walked towards the kettle. He opened the little top and looked inside the tea, and found .....nothing, the butler then smelled the tea too and it smelled like the tea he poured in.
"We're having China Rose" He responded.
"Yummy! my favorite tea!" Lizzy hopped around happy, Sebastian got the tray and was about to walk out the door.
"Miss Lizzy it's time for us to go back to the Young Master" he informed her, Lizzy smirked as in her head she knew that her plan was going to work wonders.
"Right! I'm right behind you Mr. Sebastian" she replied in a happy tone. Once they arrived towards the door Lizzy opened it and ran towards Ciel again.
"Ciel I learned sooo much from Mr. Sebastian about making tea! Right Mr. Sebastian?" She smiled towards him, the butler merely nodded. Sebastian gave Ciel his and like Ciel always does he smelled his tea and looked up at Sebastian.
"China Rose?" He questioned.
"I thought it would lighten the mood, Young Master" He explained, Ciel nodded in understanding and sipped his tea, Lizzy got hers, but was very careful not to drink it. Instead the only way to not drink the tea was to make conversation in which they would not suspect as odd.
"So what do you think about the snow?! I think it's sooo beautiful and romantic what about you Ciel? don't you think it's romantic?" She said in excitement, Ciel drank his tea again and responded to her.
"I don't think of it as romantic, but I love it for it's peacefulness" Ciel put his cup. "More Sebastian" he ordered, the butler came with the kettle and poured.
"Peaceful huh?" The blond girl said in thought.
"Why are you here Lizzy?" Ciel said bluntly, Lizzy looked at him shocked at the sudden question. Her eyes sadden, but looked at him either way.
"I came to apologize for the sudden rudeness of my mother a few days ago, she was angry I know, but the way she treated you that night was unforgivable. So I came to apologize" At the moment no one said nothing, Sebastian looked at Ciel which wore a mask that he couldn't even tell what his master was thinking.
"It's alright Lizzy" Ciel said as he broke the silence.
"So maybe we can reset the wedding? I'll talk to my mother and may-"
"Lizzy, before it wasn't my choice to decide weather to marry you or not, but now I can actually choose and I don't wish to marry you anymore" He said in a rather sad, but cold tone. Sebastian still gazed upon his master.
"So you really don't want to get married then Ciel?" Lizzy said with a smile and tears pouring her face.
"I'm sorry, but that something I didn't look forward to" He explained, Lizzy started to cry this, Ciel felt a little sorry for her so he stood and was planning to walk towards her and comfort her, but as he stood up he felt dizzy all of a sudden and couldn't see anything at all.
"Sebas....." He uttered before he fainted on the floor.
"Ciel!" Lizzy screamed in fear.
"Young Master!" Sebastian said as he quickly sat down his side. "Young Master! Young Master!" he repeated in frantic. Lizzy stood there shocked and scared. Ciel's eyes were closed and wouldn't open, Sebastian put his ear near his mouth to hear if he was still breathing. The butler sighed in relief at least he was still breathing.
"What did you do to Ciel!!" Lizzy screamed, then all of a sudden Finnian, Maylene and Bardroy came the room.
"What happened?! what's with all the screaming?!" Bard yelled.
"What happened to the Young Master?!" Finny asked shocked.
"It was Mr. Sebastian! he must have put something in his tea!!" Lizzy accused.
"I can assure you Miss Middleford I did no such thing!" Sebastian growled at her.
"Quickly we must put him in bed!" Maylene said to brake the tension, Sebastian nodded and quickly ran towards his master's bedroom. Lizzy was still crying, but this time in anger.
'You still say his name even when you faint to the floor Ciel....I won't ever forgive you' Lizzy thought bitterly.
"Don't worry Miss Lizzy, I'm sure the Young Master will be alright" Finny assure her. Lizzy looked at the gardener and put up a little smile.
"Why did you say that Sebastian put something in his tea?" Bard questioned, Lizzy glared at the ground.
"Because Ciel is the one who told me that he never trusted Mr. Sebastian" She lied, fake tears fell again as she tried to 'explain'. "He told me that he was scared of him."
"That can't be true because Ciel loves Mr. Sebastian!!" Finny exclaimed. Lizzy's face was full of shock.
"Finny!" Bard glared at him, Finnian noticed at he said and quickly closed his mouth with his hand.
With Sebastian and Maylene
Once they both arrived to Ciel's bedroom Sebastian quickly took off his shoes and put him into his bed without even changing his clothes.
"What could have happened to him?!" Maylene said in fright. Sebastian looked at Ciel with a big worry written all over his face.
"I don't know, but I think I know someone who does" He growled in answering her question.
