Sebastian Asks Ciel To Be His Girlfriend

Chapter 8

The next few days Ciel and Sebastian got up in the mornings and always did the same daily ritual: Get up, have breakfast, brush their teeth and get dressed for school while Ciel would wait for Sebastian to come pick her up to give her a ride to school while Sebastian would be leaving from his house to go pick her up.

This soon became a permanent everyday thing for the both of them. Not that both of them minded anyway. After finally getting use to Sebastian and the others Ciel was more relaxed around them and did not stammer as much when she was around them or jump whenever Sebastian or the rest would speak to her but she still was skittish and nervous around the other students.

Ciel was terrified of the other much older, taller girls in the school. But she was not terrified of MeyRin or Grelle. MeyRin and Grelle treated her like a younger sister and were always around or nearby, watching Ciel real closely and keeping an eye on her, ready at any moment to rush out to protect her if any of the other girls decided to bully her or attack her.

The guys ( Bard, Finnian, Undertaker and Ronald) would also be nearby or around in the same area as Ciel, also keeping an eye out on her, ready to do the same as MeyRin and Grelle.

Sebastian was always nearby or around Ciel, ready to protect her at any time from the other students that might be thinking of hurting or bullying or assaulting her.

If Sebastian felt or caught any of the other students staring or glaring at Ciel he would give a warning look or a low growl directed towards them, telling with his eyes and the expression on his face to not even think about harming the petite blackish blue hair deep blue eyed girl. Not while he was around.

Also, during these next few days Ciel and Sebastian went out on more dates. Sebastian took Ciel on a date to the beach ( which thrilled Ciel to bits and pleased Sebastian), he took her to a art museum, a botanical garden, he took her to the movie theaters to go see a movie, which was something she really enjoyed.

Sebastian even took her on dates back at RavensHollow Park and some at the cafe were she and Sebastian ate before on their second date. Ciel had even warmed up to Wendy and Peter. Ciel even had become one of their most favorite customers.

Ciel even became friends with Wendy. Ciel found out that Wendy also to had to leave right after eating her lunch at Whispering Raven's High School to go leave to go work at the cafe.

Finally, after these few and couple of weeks of dating, Sebastian gathered up the courage to ask Ciel if she wanted to be his girlfriend.

But first, he had to go out and get something to give to Ciel, something meaningful and thoughtful, something that she would love. Sebastian decided to ask Rachel, Ciel's mother. So, on Sunday, he decided to go over the Phantomhive house to get gift ideas or suggestions from Ms. Phantomhive.

After walking down over to Ciel's house, Sebastian rang the doorbell and waited for Ms. Rachel or Ciel to answer. The door opened and standing in front of him was Rachel Phantomhive, Ciel's mother. Rachel, upon seeing that it was Sebastian, smiled. "Well hello there Sebastian, what brings you here to my house on this wonderful Sunday?,"she asked.

"Hello Ms. Rachel. I came here to ask your advice on something very important,"Sebastian said, smiling at his crush's mom. Rachel, sensing that this was an extremely important matter, pulled the front door closed behind her and stepped out onto the front porch to talk to Sebastian.

"So what is it? What is it that you need to ask me?, Rachel asked, looking directly at Sebastian. "Ms. Rachel, I want to give something meaningful and thoughtful to Ciel as a gift, something that she would like. But I don't know what exactly," he admitted to her, looking at her for her help and her advice.

Rachel smiled. "Of course. Well, one gift idea that you can get for Ciel are sweets. She loves sweets. And she also loves plush toy's, like stuffed animals. Or you can get her a book. Ciel loves to read books on flowers and trees and of course art. If you plan to get her jewelry, get her something very simple. Or you can get her a game. She loves games,"Rachel finally finished.

"All right, thank you so much Ms. Rachel,"Sebastian said to her. Then he decided to ask Rachel another question: what was Ciel's favorite kind of flower.

"Ms. Rachel, I want to ask you another question. What is Ciel's favorite kind of flower?," Sebastian asked.

"Ciel likes Sterling Silver Roses and Lavender, but Sterling Silver Roses are her favorite,"Rachel answered.

"All right, Sterling silver roses, Lavender, books, sweets, and plush toys like stuffed animals, is what she likes," Sebastian said, getting all this information from Rachel Phantomhive. "I will head into town to get Sterling silver roses and something sweet for Ciel. I don't want to trouble you to cut some from the garden," Sebastian said to her while turning around to head out the door and heading back over to his house to get into his car.

Once reaching his car he got in and buckled up and starting up his car began the drive to go into town. Once getting into town he parked his car and turned it off before locking it up and began to head over to the florist.

Once reaching the florist shop he told the florist that he wanted a bouquet of sterling silver roses with a deep blue ribbon tied around them. As the florist was doing this Sebastian was looking around the shop with his eyes for anything else that he might want to give to Ciel and spotted a plush teddy bear. The plush teddy bear was a midnight black color and had red eyes and had a red ribbon tied around it's neck. Sebastian smiled. Ciel would surely love that teddy bear he thought. He decided. He was going to get the teddy bear for Ciel as well.

As the florist walked up with the bouquet of sterling silver roses Sebastian said to her,"Excuse me but I would also like to have that teddy bear up there," pointing to the midnight black plush teddy bear with red eyes and red ribbon.

The florist turned and looked up then turned back to look at Sebastian and smiled and said,"Of course, I will get it for you good sir,"she said before grabbing a step ladder and setting it up right underneath where the teddy bear was and stepped up onto the ladder and grabbing the teddy bear off the shelf and bringing it over to where the sterling silver roses were and put it next to them. "Anything else for you sir?," she asked him.

"No that'll be all,"Sebastian said while getting his wallet out to pay for the flowers and teddy bear. After putting his credit card away he grabbed the flowers and teddy bear and walked out of the florist shop with the florist saying goodbye and wishing him good luck. Sebastian thanked her and once getting to his car unlocked it and put the flowers and teddy bear in the front seat before closing front passenger door and locking it back up before he began to make his way to a sweet shop that was a few blocks down from the florist shop.

Once inside the the sweet shop Sebastian began looking around for sweets for Ciel. After a few minutes of looking around the sweet shop he settled on chocolate covered cherries and chocolate covered strawberries. After paying for them he left the sweet shop and headed back over to his car.

Sebastian unlocked his car and put the chocolate covered cherries and strawberries in the front seat with the teddy bear and flowers and closed the door and walked around the car to the driver's seat. Sebastian opened the driver's door and got in and buckled up before turning the car on and driving away and heading back to the Phantomhive house on MoonRaven Circle.

Sebastian finally reached the Phantomhive house after turning onto MoonRaven Circle. Sebastian got out of his car and closed the driver's door behind him before walking around the car to the front passenger side and opening the door and taking the teddy, sterling silver roses and chocolate covered cherries and strawberries out before closing the door and locking his car. Once reaching the front of the Phantomhive house he rang the doorbell and waited.

After a few minutes the front door opened and there stood Rachel Phantomhive. Upon seeing the gifts in Sebastian's arm's she smiled widely.

"So Ms. Rachel, think Ciel will like these?,"Sebastian asked her.

"Oh Ciel will love them," Rachel replied.

"Where is Ciel?,"Sebastian asked.

"Ciel is upstairs in her room, you can go up and give the gifts to her and also ask her the question,"Rachel said. "All right, thank you Ms. Rachel," Sebastian said and began heading upstairs to see Ciel, give her the gifts and to ask her the question.

"It's the door that is light blue that has her name on it,"Rachel called after him as Sebastian had finally arrived at the top of the stairs. All right, thank you so much Ms. Rachel,"Sebastian said to her before he began to make his way to Ciel's room. Sebastian finally found the light blue door that had Ciel's name and politely knocked on it.

"Come in,"Ciel's soft voice answered.

Sebastian opened the light blue door and walked in and got a look at Ciel's room.

Ciel's room was done in all midnight blue. The walls were midnight blue while the trim was all in light blue. The carpet was midnight blue colored, light blue lace curtains hung on the windows with midnight blue satin ribbon's tied around them. There was a cream vanity with a cream stool with light blue fabric on it and an large silver oval mirror. A ceiling fan hung from above. The bed was queen sized with light blue satin sheets, midnight blue satin curtains with light blue ribbons tied around them hung from above and all around the bed and then there was a walk-in closet that was light blue with midnight blue sterling silver roses painted on the doors.

Sebastian also took noticed that there was a light blue ottoman in a corner of the room and a large flat screen TV mounted on the wall along with a DVD player that was sitting on a shelf that was painted midnight blue that had a cable box and DVD player sitting on it, nailed into the wall underneath the large flat screen TV.

Sebastian looked around to find Ciel and finally found her. Ciel was lying in her bed, sitting up back against the midnight blue satin pillows. She was wearing a pale blue lace cap sleeve nightgown that was v neck shape in the front. She was currently reading a book. Sebastian smiled at this.

"Hi Ciel,"Sebastian greeted her.

Ciel turned her attention away from her book at the sound of Sebastian's voice. There stood Sebastian Michaelis, standing in her bedroom door and holding what looked like gifts. Ciel smiled and closed up her book, saving her place as Sebastian closed her door and began walking over to her. She patted the edge on the left side of her bed, inviting Sebastian to come sit down.

Sebastian did just that. He sat down on the bed and putting the gifts on the bed before he leaned towards Ciel and kissed her, wrapping his long arms around her tiny figure with Ciel returning the kiss and putting her small delicate arms around his neck. After they were done kissing Ciel decided to ask Sebastian what he was doing here at this time of night at her house.

"Sebastian, what are you doing here at my house at this time of night? And what's with the gifts?,"Ciel asked him while looking at the gifts and at him, wondering who they were for.

Sebastian smiled. "Well the gifts are for you Ciel, and as to why I am here at this time of night, I want to ask you something important,"he said, smiling at her.

Ciel became surprised but soon it disappeared and she smiled at Sebastian. "You got these gifts for me?,"she asked him. Sebastian smiled back at her and replied back "Yes they' re for you."

Sebastian picked up the bouquet of sterling silver roses with the deep blue ribbon tied around them and the plush teddy bear and handed them to Ciel. Ciel smiled and squealed in delight at the bouquet of flowers and the teddy bear. "Thank you for the sterling silver roses Sebastian, I love them very much and I really love the teddy bear, he is cute,"Ciel said to him while smiling up at him and hugging him before then hugging the teddy bear. Sebastian hugged her back, happy that she liked the roses and the teddy bear.

"You are most welcome Ciel, and those two boxes are for you as well," Sebastian said as he pulled away, wanting and waiting to see if she would like the chocolate covered cherries and strawberries.

Ciel picked up the two boxes, curious to what was inside them, opened them up and smiled in delight. Inside one box was chocolate covered cherries, and inside the other box were chocolate covered strawberries. Ciel closed the boxes back up and turned back to Sebastian, who was looking at her with a happy smile, happy that she liked the gifts. Ciel flunged her arms around him, hugging him while also surprising him and making him laugh.

"Thank you so much for the gifts Sebastian but especially for the chocolate covered cherries and strawberries. How did you know that I like those?,"Ciel asked while looking up at him.

Sebastian chuckled. "I'm glad that you like the gifts and I did not know that you liked chocolate covered cherries and strawberries. Just took a guess,"he told her. Ciel smiled. "Well thank you for the gifts Sebastian. I love them. You also said that you wanted to ask me something important?,"she said while looking at him.

Sebastian pulled away from Ciel and took her small hands in his larger ones and held them while looking at her with a mild serious expression on his face. Ciel not only became confused but also a bit worried. What does Sebastian want to ask me? she thought. Ciel watched as Sebastian began to speak.

"Ciel, I love you and care so much about you. I fell in love with you from the very first day you arrived at Whispering Raven's High School, the day that you first walked into William T. Spear's classroom. That day, when you told me and my friends what happened to you the month before, I vowed to myself that I would always protect you and be there for you. I really enjoyed taking you out on your first date as well as mine and also taking you out on more dates."Sebastian said.

Ciel's heart started pounding against her chest. Could he be asking what I think he's asking? she wondered. Ciel continued to keep her attention on Sebastian as he continued.

"What I am trying to ask you Ciel, Sebastian paused at this, is will you like to be my girlfriend?,"he finally got out while looking down at her, waiting for her answer.

Ciel was shocked but soon it disappeared and she smiled at him. She had a feeling that was what the gifts were for and the question that he wanted to ask. She thought it over for a few minutes before finally reaching her decision. She looked back up at Sebastian and saw that he was waiting for her answer. She continued smiling at him while happy tears began to form in her large deep blue eyes.

"Yes, yes I will be your girlfriend Sebastian,"she said while still looking up at him with happy tears still in her eyes.

Sebastian smiled and wrapped his arms around her with Ciel returning the embrace, crying into his left shoulder with happiness and joy while Sebastian laughed in relief and comforted her by gently running his right hand up and down her back. After a couple of minutes of hugging, laughing and crying the newly girlfriend and boyfriend couple pulled away, smiling at each other.

Sebastian leaned his face down towards Ciel, his girlfriend, and began kissing her passionately with Ciel kissing him back passionately as well. After they were done they both pulled away, smiling at one another.

"Thank you Ciel, you have made me the happiest that I've have ever been,"Sebastian said to her while putting his hands on the sides of her face. Ciel smiled. "Thank you Sebastian. You have made happy as well,"She said. "And I swear that if that asshole Claude ever comes anywhere near you again or assault you I will beat the hell out of him,"Sebastian said to her, a serious look on his face.

Sebastian was determined to keep his girlfriend safe.

Ciel giggled at Sebastian's choice word description of Claude Faustus.

Sebastian smiled at this. He loved making Ciel, his now girlfriend, laugh.

"Should we tell the other's tomorrow?,"Sebastian asked while still looking at her in his arms still.

"Yes, let's tell them tomorrow,"Ciel said to him while still in his arms.

"Although if we ever have sex, make sure you use protection. I don't want to end up pregnant while I am in high school,"Ciel said, a serious look on her face as she said this to Sebastian. Sebastian blinked at her a few times before cracking up at what his girlfriend just said.

Ciel glared at her boyfriend as he continued to laugh. "Why are you laughing Sebastian? I am serious and stop laughing at me will you?,"she said, getting a bit angry and a little annoyed.

Sebastian calmed himself down and managed to get a hold of himself before turning his attention back to his girlfriend. Ciel looked annoyed and a bit angry

"I am sorry Ciel. I know you are serious. Yes I agree with you. If we ever have sex I will definitely use protection,"he said. Sebastian watched as his girlfriend calmed down. "Thank you Sebastian,"she said. Sebastian smiled at his new girlfriend. "You are most welcome Ciel. Now I need to head home. I will like to get a good night's sleep. But, before I go,"he said.

Ciel looked up just in time for her boyfriend to kiss her on the lips. Ciel returned the kiss back to her boyfriend. After the new couple got done kissing, Sebastian stood up and headed towards his girlfriend's door.

But before walking out he turned back around to face Ciel. He saw his girlfriend was lying down all the way in her bed now, with her eyes starting to close. He smiled. "Goodnight Ciel, I will see you in the morning,"He said while turning off his girlfriend's light. Ciel looked up at her boyfriend and smiling sleepily up at him replied back,"Goodnight Sebastian. See you in the morning." Ciel's vision soon became blurry as she watched her boyfriend pull her bedroom door closed behind him.

The last thing Ciel heard before falling asleep, was the sound of her boyfriend going out the front door and driving away.
