His Butler, Elizabeth
Chapter XI: His Butler, Not Sleepy
A/N: More Ciel OOCness, because of the potion. Now he's no good at lying... And this chapter is terrible. Sorry, just read it so the next one will make sense.
FOR THE RECORD: I'd like to state that I don't love Alois, just thought he'd be an interesting asset to my crazy world of FanFictionism . But, there will be no Claude. He's stupid. I prefer Sebastian to that derp-faced demon. There was only one part I liked, and that was when he set the table, looked up, and the glasses land back on his face perfectly ('cause I wanna do that!).
Last Time:
The boy stomped his foot, "I was trying to pause for dramatic effect! Anyways, I will make you mine Elizabeth Ethel Cordelia Midford! Or my name isn't Alois Trancy!"
The last two days had been...eventful for Elizabeth, to say the least.
The first day after the...erm, interesting meeting with the Earl of Trancy, she had woken up to a serenade from the previously mentioned blond boy. It had went something like this...
"Oh, my dear little Lizzie, please let me give you a kissy. Ignore that pirate wannabe. I know you wanna be with me."
Then Ciel had yelled, "Sick him, Pluto!"
...
"Alright, hug him, Pluto!"
And then he was gone.
Ciel had then had Lizzie with him, the rest of the day. Though, they had come across a few love notes for Lizzie from the other Earl, Ciel was determined to ignore that blonde idiot. He'd eaten with her, he'd danced with her, he'd even played hopscotch with her (and somehow, he lost. He'd never understood the game).
The second day, she had received another serenade from Alois:
"Elizabeth, Elizabeth, full of joy and mirth, leave the short, angry guy you've been with since birth." He had sang. He had then turned his head and spoke to someone else passionately, "If you must shoot me, shoot me in the name of love!" Then there were gun shots, "Wait! No! I was being Shakespearey!"
And the day had went on, much like yesterday. Ciel, keeping her around and being protective, Alois, sending Shakespearean notes. She had also figured out that Alois drank the potion, what ever it was.
This morning, Alois had gotten into the manor, and he brought Elizabeth waffles. As soon as he had presented the breakfast to her, Ciel came in the room with pancakes. She loved Ciel, way more than Alois, but she loved waffles way more than pancakes. She timidly took the waffles and smiled at Ciel.
Alois sat beside her and smiled, "Ah, I knew you wanted me, Elizabeth."
Ciel also sat beside her and began, "Please forgive me, Lizzie, I was going to bring you waffles, but Bard burned them all. And may I say your hair looks beautiful today." He kissed her hand gently.
"Well, Lizzie, I think all of you looks beautiful every day." Alois complemented. He then kissed her cheek.
"Really? Well...well..." Ciel began. He turned Elizabeth's head toward him and kissed her soft lips passionately. Elizabeth could only blink in surprise and as soon as she closed her eyes, he pulled away.
"How was that?" Ciel asked arrogantly.
"G-Good..." She continued to blink at him.
"Hey!" Alois exclaimed as he stood up, "How dare you kiss her?! She's my fiancée!"
Ciel stood up as well, "No, she's not!"
"Yeah, she is! I relieved you of your duties, like, a billion years ago!"
Elizabeth popped up, "Stop! Stop it! Look, I don't like this. I'm going to go make us tea. You two stay here. Ciel, if you kill Alois, I'll break the engagement. Alois, if you kill Ciel, I will not make an engagement with you. Am I understood?"
They sighed in unison, "Yes, Lizzie..."
"Heh... G'mornin', Lady Liz." Bard said lazily as Elizabeth entered the kitchen, "What's goin' on up there?"
She sighed, "Ciel and Alois are arguing over me. I came to get tea.
Bard raised an eyebrow, "You lef' 'em alone? You know young master has dual swords an' a gun in e'rey room, right?"
"I told them, if one killed the other, I would leave them." Elizabeth replied.
"You think they're gonna listen to ya?" He asked.
Elizabeth bit her lip, "No..." She then ran back up the stairs.
"Wait, Lady Liz! You forgot your tea!" Bard yelled, "Bah, what's the use?"
Elizabeth walked in the room and was astonished at the sight.
Alois was on top of Ciel and Ciel had a knife to his throat. They were growling at each other.
"Ciel! Alois! I told you not to kill each other!" She exclaimed.
Alois jumped off of the shorter Earl and proclaimed, "True! But you said nothing of maiming!"
She frowned, "I was hoping you'd figure that yourselves. And Ciel, why were you going to cut his neck?! I know you dislike him, but I believe that was a little extreme..."
"Wait! This was his knife! He was going to cut me with it first!" Ciel cried as he stood up.
"What?! That's not true!" Alois exclaimed, "His logic is extremely flawed."
She sighed, "I really don't care, but you two-"
"Liz?" A voice rang as she opened the door.
"Huh? Hey, Alisha! How are you doing?" Elizabeth smiled.
Alisha nodded, "Good. I analyzed the tea."
Ciel piped in, "Did you find anything?"
The brunette shook her head, "No...but Nina was drinking coffee and she fell in love, too! With a guy named Steven or something. And I analyzed her drink!"
"Was there anything in it?" Elizabeth asked.
"It smelled odd, but then again, I'm not sure what coffee's supposed to smell like. And I also found an odd powdery substance. I think it's just powdered sugar though..." She explained, "Hey, who is he?"
"I'm Alois Trancy! And Elizabeth's fiancé!" The boy exclaimed. As Ciel shook his head behind him.
"Oh? When did you start liking Lizzie?" Alisha smirked a little.
"I fell in love with her when I saw her walking out of her your shop while I was drinking soda pop*!" He told her.
"Oh," Alisha nodded, "Well, I must be on my way. Bye, Ciel, Alois, Mrs. Midford-Phantomhive-Trancy."
Uh... Well, this is later in the day, like around eleven at night... I, well, they got Alois to leave, so that's good right? I don't know why I'm here babbling. Probably for a higher word count...
...derp...
Ciel sighed as his piece of paper was caught by Lizzie again, who then tossed the paper in the wastebasket.
"This is the eighteenth piece of paper this hour, Ciel." She mentioned giving him a sad smile.
He mumbled a curse word or so and nodded, "Yes, Elizabeth. I know. I just can't think of an idea that isn't terrible."
"Well, think of something that makes you happy." She yawned, "Or at least, not sad."
Just because he didn't smile, doesn't mean he wasn't happy. There were plenty of things that made him happy: chess, tea, chocolate, his house, and...
...Elizabeth: lately, he'd thought about her more. It was probably a mixture of his hormones and that stupid potion, but it was still frustrating. And as hard as it was to admit it, she made him happy. That wasn't going to help him much, though.
"Go to bed." He said suddenly.
She looked up surprised, "Huh? I don't want to go to bed."
"You've been up since early this morning, and you need sleep." He replied.
"I'm fine. Besides, my bed sheets are still drying and will be for another hour or two." She stretched.
"Lizzie, I'll most likely be working most of the night, so until I decided to retire, you may sleep in my room." Ciel permitted, "Now, you must go to bed."
"No, I'm not tired." She said as she stifled another yawned.
"Yes, you are." He argued.
"But what if you need something?" She asked.
"Then I'll call someone else. Go to sleep." He instructed.
She sighed, "Alright. Goodnight, Ciel."
"Goodnight, Lizzie." He kissed her hand and gave her a half smile.
"Aw! How adorable! I knew it was a good idea to give that stuff to the Earl! It's so cute!"
Ciel turned his head, "You..."
A/N: YOU WHO?! I know... Bwehehehehe... :} Sorry for the terrible chapter once again, I'll do my best to make the next one better.
*Soda pop? Is that what they called it back then? Was it even around back then?
I'd just like to state for the record I made up Alisha. She isn't in a future manga chapter, and if she is, then the shipping I made up must come true!
Also, the way I describe kisses are terrible. This is because...I haven't had my first kiss, yet! I'm not that old, I've just read too many romance FanFictions and everybody else has had their first kiss, but I'm a nerd...but the guy I like likes me back! But he wants to stay friends! And I hate it! But I really like him... But enough about my love life (or rather lack thereof)! Let's get to the review responses:
LTCZ- Yay! I'm glad you love me too! Your theories, by the way, are amazing! But are they amazing enough? I also like how he sniffed Lizzie's neck and then they wouldn't speak to each other (that's why I published it...). I appreciate the constructive critisism -seeing as it helps me grow as a writer- even though I tend to be slightly offended at first...but once again, that you for your fabulous review!
emoangel1990 & cuteandawesome89- Thank you for wishing KK a happy birthday!
NVCiel- Thank you for the wish of a happy birthday to my sister and saying my stories are full of joy and happiness. :D
