Chapter 4

I'd like to mention here that I've been bored so I'm willing to take requests for oneshots! SebaCiel of course. ;)

I do not own Black Butler/Kuroshitsuji.

Sebastian stayed quiet for a bit, making me extremely nervous. What if I'd guessed wrong?

"I thought you were supposed to figure that out on your own" he said in a low voice, making me squeak in fear.

"Y-yeah, right, sorry!" I sputtered. Before he could respond, I bolted up the stairs and basically all but ran to the study. I knew somewhere in the back of my mind that if he really wanted to kill me, he was a demon and he could do so with one move. But I didn't care. Those glowing eyes were fucking scary.

I finally reached the study, and entered, trying to slow my breathing so it didn't look as if I was running a marathon.

When I opened the door, Ciel was sitting in his chair, staring out a window. I cleared my throat to get his attention. He looked up.

"Ah, Luella. I trust Sebastian sent the letter with no complaint?" he asked. I nodded my head as I replied,

"Yes, he did"

"Good"

I stood there awkwardly, not really knowing what to say. Ciel took one last look outside before turning back to me.

"I have no paperwork today. How about a walk in the garden?"

The garden was quite nice, so many flowers. Especially roses. Red roses. Those are my favorite. I knelt down next to a large bush of red roses, taking in their delightful scent. Ciel stopped as well, watching me for a moment before calling to one of his servants.

"Finny!"

The blond boy rushed to Ciel's side, seeming nervous.

"Y-yes my lord?!" he cried, with a sense of urgency to his voice. Ciel rolled his eyes.

"Give Luella one of those roses" he ordered. I blinked.

"Y-yes sir!" Finny responded, grabbing his shears with shaking hands and cutting a rose from the bush. I smiled as I took it, being careful of the thorns.

"Thank you, Ciel" I said with a smile. He smiled slightly as well, I noticed, but barely.

I wonder if I should ask him...

Finny went back to tending a daisy patch, so I turned to Ciel.

"Um, if you don't mind me asking... Do you wonder if Sebastian perhaps is in love?"

Ciel blinked.

"I, uh... I had not considered it. Why do you ask?"

I thought quickly.

"Just wondering..."

That was the best I came up with. He gave me a suspicious look before turning back towards the mansion.

"It's almost tea time. We should go back inside"
