"I still can't believe it. You're really dating Alois? The same Alois you've only ever hated?" Elizabeth pressed the back of her hand to Ciel's forehead as they sat together on a wall in the higher level of the playground. "Are you feeling okay?"

"Haha, funny how things go, am I right?" Finnian chuckled.

"Oh says the boy who's fallen head over heels for his teacher who absurdly supports the idea of such a notion and is very willing to make your dreams come true once you graduate," Ciel countered making Finnian's face flush a deep red. "Tell me Finny, what delusional world do you live in exactly?"

"H-Hey no fair! And so what if that is the case? It'll be fine once I graduate so there's no problem. It's not like it's against the law".

"It is now!".

Finnian sighed. "Whatever. You do you, and I do me. Okay?"

Ciel narrowed his eyes slightly at his friend. "What's that supposed to mean?"

"It means that while someday I'll be sleeping with the love of my life, and you'll be sleeping with your own enemy!"

"That's enough, both of you!" Elizabeth pushed them both apart with a hand pressed on each of their chests.

Ciel huffed, though his face was an even deeper shade than Finnian's. So what if he had fallen for Alois? If they were happy together then that's all that mattered. And he supposed that maybe one day he would be able to be lighter on Finnian's relationship too.
