Author's Note: Terribly sorry, I've been more focused on other things as of recently. ^^;
"Elizabeth," Ciel said, breaking the silence. They had both been sitting together on the sofa, enjoying the other's company, not saying a word.
Elizabeth turned a bit to look at her fiance. "What is it?"
"I've been wondering about something."
The Lady tilted her head just slightly, a questioning expression on her face. "What would that be?"
"It's only human nature to desire things you are unable to obtain. Surely even you have desires like that—tell me, what exactly are they?"
It surprised Elizabeth, hearing those words come from Ciel's mouth. Not a bad surprise, really—it was far more of a good one. He never did show very much interest in the inner thoughts and opinions of his fiancee beyond the ones he already knew. It made her extremely happy when he did, no matter how personal or embarrassing it could be. They were going to be married eventually anyway, so she had no place to deny telling him any details about herself that he wanted to know.
She put a finger to her bottom lip as she thought about his question. "...No," she decided finally, "nothing at all."
"Not even one?" Ciel seemed skeptical.
"Hmm... I can get everything that I want. I have all the cute things I want, and more importantly, I have you. Why should I want anything more than that? Although..." She paused for a few moments. "Yes. Right now, I can't have it, and I know I can't, but maybe in the future."
"What would that be?"
"I want you to smile and be happy. Maybe not as much as when you were younger, but at least sometimes. It's all right to be sad, but you don't deserve to be sad so often." The blond beamed at Ciel. "So that's the thing I want but can't have—for you to be happy more."
Ciel didn't give a verbal response, but the very slight smile on his lips meant more to Elizabeth than anything he could ever say.
