Chapter Three: Teacher

Ciel was wearing a nice pale pink dress, sitting on a blanket. Ann and the friends that Ciel had met the previous day were all there. They were having a picnic. They were also waiting for Mr. Evans. Ciel was nervous about Grell showing up. He wasn't sure if Grell was the best choice for a tutor, but he thought of no one else. And bribing him by telling him he could do things with Sebastian, if he could catch him, had worked for him. Although when Grell had first seen Sebastian, he had gone berserk. He had chased Sebastian until the butler had turned around and slapped Grell. But, Grell being Grell, managed to be quick enough to kiss Sebastian's cheek and scurry off before he got murdered.

As if summoned by the mere thought of his name, Grell strode over to the group. He had left his hair red, but it was all smoothed back into a fancy ponytail. He had also replaced his usual red trench coat with a deep burgundy double button tailcoat.

"My Lady. Are you ready for your lesson?"

Ciel nodded and excused himself from the ladies for a short while. He gracefully stood up and walked over to Grell. His "lesson" was actually a meeting with his undercover group. Ann would be gone, but Ciel would fill her in later.

Grell and Ciel entered a large room in the park's main office. Grell shut the door as Ciel took a seat with Finny, Lao, Sebastian.

"So. Lao. Are you ready to make a grand entrance as Cai?"

"Yes My Lord. This will be fun."

Ciel shook his head. He still couldn't believe this.

"Sebastian. Is there any water or anything?"

Looking at him, they could all see that he was second guessing doing this. Sebastian got up and poured a glass of ice water. He handed it to Ciel, who in turn downed the entire glass then rested the glass with the remaining ice against his forehead.

"Master?"

"Yes Finny."

"You're not wearing your eyepatch. How come?

"Oh. It would look unsightly for a girl to have one. I can't see out of my right eye, so I usually wear it. I don't need it, but I prefer it."

In actuality, Sebastian had removed the contract mark. But, obviously Finny and everyone, except Grell, didn't know about it.

After about an hour, Ciel left to go back to Ann. Lao had left ten minutes before and would be waiting for Victoria with Ann and her friends.

When Ciel walked back up to the women, Lao stood and, like Finny and Sebastian, kissed his hand. He only stayed for a few minutes.

"Ooh! Victoria! If one asks for your hand, who would you choose?"

Ciel blushed. "Oh, I don't know. Michael is handsome, but he's so cliche. And Cai's sense of humor can be a bit overboard, but he's very gentle. And Josh, well I grew up with him. I really don't know."

They all giggled. It was because he mentioned Sebastian first and had been sure to sound wistful when talking about him.

"Well, I for one would pick Michael. Did you see the way he moved? It was so sensual. I'd fuck him in a New York minute!"

Ciel blushed, and the rest of the girls giggled and scolded her for talking about him that way.

After a day of listening to all the dirty comments about Sebastian, Ciel was ready to burst. He was tired and he certainly didn't want to listen to the girls gossip.

"Ann, I think I may call my driver. I'm exhausted."

"Oh! Alright. Do you feel sick dear? Or just tired?"

"I'm just very tired." He yawned as he pulled a cell phone out of his purse. He called Bard and asked him to come pick him up.

He sat on a bench and chatted with Ann's group while he waited to get picked up.

A few weeks had passed and Ann had introduced him to Margaret Sinclair. She was a shady woman and Ciel didn't trust her. She was thin and tall. Her eyes always darted about like she was expecting something bad to happen.

She wasn't with them that day and Ciel was having another picnic with Ann and her group of friends. He was in the first dress he had tried on before going under. He really honestly liked the dress, despite the damned corset.

He was laughing at something Ann said, when Elise, the one who was ready to do things to Sebastian, asked Ciel why he seemed so nervous.

"Huh? Oh, I just have a feeling that today will be a good day." he told her with a smile.

She smiled back. Then she started blushing and whispering. When Ciel looked the direction all the women were looking, he saw Sebastian marching to them with a determined look on his face.

"Good afternoon ladies. Victoria."

Ciel smiled, as did the other women.

"Ann, if you don't mind, may I borrow her?"

"Oh go ahead."

Sebastian held his hand out and Ciel took it as he stood up. They walked a little ways away, but still close enough that the women could hear. The women all gasped when he went down on one knee and took Ciel's hands.

"Victoria, I have fallen, mercilessly, head over heels for you. I...I cannot stop thinking of you. I cannot sleep, for I dream of only you. And I hate waking to see that you're not really with me. I would do anything for your love, my lovely rose. You've made a hopeless romantic out of me. Would you do me the honor of becoming my bride?"

"...Yes..."

This was the way that Ciel and Sebastian had rehearsed it. They'd had to practice so that Ciel wouldn't blush quite as crazily as he did the first few rehearsals.

Sebastian removed a gorgeous ring with one large diamond and two small sapphires on either side of the diamond from his jacket, and placed it very gently on Ciel's left ring finger.

Then Sebastian stood and hugged Ciel. He also did something not in their rehearsal. He kissed Ciel's cheek. Ciel's faced flared so red, that everyone had to giggle at him. Sebastian stayed with them the rest of the afternoon, holding Ciel's hand and occasionally playing with the extensions.

When they returned to the house they had for their cover, Ciel punched Sebastian in the arm.

"Why the hell did you kiss me?!"

"Why, to make it more real of course. And come now, it was only your cheek. You're going to have to get used to it after we're "married." Because, then we'll be going to balls and events as a couple. Which also means we will have to dance."

Ciel scoffed and stomped off, his heels clicking on the marble.

Chapter Three down! Woo! I feel like today was pretty damn productive. 3 chapters of this and two of Golden Darkness. I won't be able to update anything again until Friday. But leave lots of reviews, they make me happy =3
