I'm trying to keep the moods of each drabble-bit balanced out. So here's one with more humor in it, I thought.
Continue on reading and reviewing! Thanks for following this!
Ciel's typical infuriated grunt sounded out through gritted teeth when his last remaining bit of patience vanished without warning. And it was not because of Elizabeth's joyful little rants about chocolate and rainbows he had listen to, as she walked the streets on his arm. It had been actually because he felt a sudden, sharp tap on the heel of his left boot.
"Sebastian—how many times do I need to tell you to not walk so darn quickly?" he growled irritably. "You could have made us trip!"
The butler stepped back in place to Ciel's left afterwards, stating gently, "I apologize for running into you, sir. I sometimes forget I own a large stride."
"Whatever...just don't do something like that again. We are in public." Ciel reminded him bitterly, turning away then. "Lizzie, wait here on the steps for a moment, won't you? The new dress from Nina that I promised you is just inside."
Elizabeth grinned. "Certainly, Ciel."
"Thank you, and Sebastian? Watch over her carefully, do you understand?"
(Ciel had grown strangely more protective over Elizabeth for a few reasons utterly unknown overtime, which at times Sebastian could almost call it a minor obsession. Nothing really that horrible has happened to her since that bear crashed their picnic couple years prior.)
"Yes, Master." said the butler, pushing all Ciel's newest odd behaviors aside.
"Not a scratch. Not one hair out of line."
"Of course not, sir."
Elizabeth nearly blushed as Ciel disappeared behind the tailor's doorway. Naturally, she couldn't help but to feel a little honored.
Sebastain was just about to sigh in resentment when he heard the Lady's short and amused, "Huh."
"Have I missed something, Lady Elizabeth?" he faced her in question, blinking.
"Oh nothing, really." Elizabeth swatted her hand playfully in the air to dismiss the idea that made her chuckle. "It's just that, what purpose do I have in wedding Ciel when you two seem to act like a married couple already?"
Sebastian gawked at her. Was Lady Elizabeth honestly...teasing him? Her?
His surprised expression clearly had done nothing but to force her to laugh out loud once over again.
Well, he didn't personally find her witty comment that amusing.
