Don't be fooled by this short chapter because it's not a filler. In fact it's VERY important. Oh, and I was writing this on my ITouch because I didn't have a computer because I was at one of my sister's karate testing thingys so some of the spacing and grammar and stuff might be more jacked up then usual. Just try to ignore it. Anywho, on with the story!
Disclaimer: I don't own Kuroshitsuji. If I did, then there would be way more than just 2 seasons.
Adeline's POV
"Fiancé?" I asked, hoping I hadn't heard him right. He nodded a blank expression at me, "how?"
"Well it was arranged by our parents," he said glancing over at Lizzy.
"But I love Ciel anyway," Lizzy said giving Ciel another bear hug. He looked at her with a sad expression when she wasn't looking at him. That's when I remembered about Sebastian.
"But, Ciel, how can you expect to marry someone when you have-" Sebastian. I didn't finish when I noticed Ciel's scared expression. He probably never told her about his contract with the demon. It would break Lizzy's heart.
"When you have what?" She asked, confused. Ciel and I shared panicked expressions and then looked down at our butlers who also looked dumbfounded.
"Me," I said quickly. Everyone stared at me like I was crazy. "I'm sorry Lady Elizabeth but I get jealous easily." I said making everyone a little calmer. Well everyone
other than Ciel who still looked pretty shocked. Suddenly there was a gust of wind and I felt someone place their hand on my shoulder.
"Yes, Lady Adeline has grown a liking to my young lord," said Sebastian with a huge grin.
"I think she gets it." I said to him through gritted teeth. He seemed happy to be ruining my life so I just glared at him. "Well I should be going now," I said, looking at Ciel and Lizzy with a much nicer expression. I started to walk back down the stairs when a voice stopped me.
"Wait" I heard Lizzy's voice ring out behind me, "You should stay here. I just bought the cutest dress that would look absolutely adorable on you! Oh, Ciel please let her stay!" She begged him. He sighed and looked at me.
"I suppose," he said, making Lizzy squeal with delight.
"I can tell you all about how Ciel was like as a baby!" She said, taking my hand. I looked over at Ciel and new that at that moment he completely regretted his decision before I was dragged away deeper into the mansion.
That night, Mey-Rin came in to dress me. Of course, though, I ended up looking like a complete mess so the triplets came in to fix me up after she left. They had just managed to get the knot she had created out of my hair before there was a familiar knock at the door. It creaked open and Sebastian walked in.
"The young lord wishes to see you, my lady," he said annoyed. He was probably expecting this to be over by now. I got up and followed him through the unfamiliar mansion to an unfamiliar door. As unknown to me as it was, I still knew that a very familiar person waited on the other side of it. The butler opened the door for me and I walked in. Like always, there was only moonlight to guide me into the room. I saw a beautiful figure sitting on the bed with the dim lighting enhancing his exquisite features. I heard the door click behind me before I made it onto the bed. I sat in front of him on the base of the bed.
"I'm sorry but it seems that I have forgotten the book at home." I apologized.
"That's okay, I just wanted to talk today," he whispered like he was depressed about something. I nodded and waited anxiously for what he would say. We sat in silence for a while. I guess he just couldn't find the right words to say so I decided to ask him my own questions.
"Why haven't you told her yet?" I asked. It was a very brief question but I knew that he knew exactly what I was talking about.
"It would break her heart," he whispered just loud enough for me to hear her, "she's a fool for loving me." I looked away then, his words stabbing into me.
"Do you love her?" I asked.
"I do, but as a sister or a best friend, not as a lover like she wants," he answered. Is it selfish that I breathed a sigh of relief at that moment? But what he said next scared me. "It's all just distractions to slow me down from reaching my goal and to make me regret my decisions. I can't get involved in idiotic things like love." he spit out. I felt like each word he said drew another knife into my burning flesh.
"Oh," I said like an idiot. "Well, if you don't regret it, why can't you tell her?" He looked at me with a curious face.
"I don't know," he said looking up at me, "I never thought about it that way." We sat in more silence, but this time he decided to break it.
"So, were you really jealous of me?" He teased. I grabbed a pillow from the bed and smacked him across the head with it.
"Grow up." I said. He smiled then and continued with his teasing.
"Is that a yes?" he asked.
The rest of the night was filled with more whispers and giggles. That was honestly one of the best nights of my life until Sebastian came in and ended it. He said that Ciel was waking up early tomorrow and needed his rest so he escorted me back to my room. I fell asleep with a smile, thinking about one thing: Ciel.
