What happened on the last chapter...

The carriage came in hand and so we left this place.

And so it continues...

Ciel's POV

I awoken in this dreary dream. AGAIN?!

"What mindless game is this, you... You insolent fool?! Stop with this! Enough is enough! Can't you see I'm tired of your rackets and useless games! You even dare to hide your shameful face!" I was tired, insane and even jealous and blue. I've had enough.

"Oh Ciel~ you had enough? Even you are blind yourself!" Suddenly, IT simply stopped in front of me, uncovering a Faustian Contract I've never seen before.

"Y-you...! Just who are you? Why are you so familiar with me?!" IT simply chuckled.

"Because I am nothing but your imagination. A child's delusion or maybe... Something else to expect?" Before vanishing away, I was left clueless and just full of questions.

Sebastian awoken me all of a sudden in the early morning back at the Phantomhive manor with the smell of tea and sunlight. I have been haunted now... By the same dream... Over and over... What has become of me ever since that insolent buffoon came...?

Sebastian noticed my exhausted and groggy face. "Young master, did you have a bad dream again? Like those previous nights?" Sebastian knows it.. Is he the one haunting my dream? Does he know what that IT simply meant?

"Just give me my tea.." Instead, he gave me hot milk with honey. I raised a brow, looking at him. He simply smiled as I accepted the cup.

"Sebastian, tell me, ahem..." My heart was pounding, I was sweating... "What do you call these... Things when..." GAH! I think my mind is about to explode!

He simply smiled. "We demons don't tend to feel any human emotions such as 'those' feelings." Just as I drank my tea, he had a serious look at me. "It is also best if you just forget about 'those.'"

I looked at him, a bit angry for some reason... "And what is that supposed to mean?" He simply smiled, once again before bowing upon me. "None at all, young master."

After all my fight with Sebastian for my lessons in the afternoon, I silently creeped each step to the kitchen where the servants all gathered busily. It was my chance to discuss some… matters since that demon is not around. I peeped through the hole Bardory, Finny and Mey-Rin peeling potatoes with Tanaka observing them.

I cleared my throat before coming in. The servants saw me and quickly lined up just as I dismissed them.

"Good morning, Young Master!" Finny and Mey-Rin greeted. Snake appeared from a corner with his snakes simply hissed at me just as I looked at Bardory.

"What can we do for you, Young Master?" My face was heating up as if I was nervous to say something, but I really am.. I just do not know what is happening to me! I need answers!

"A-ahem, what do you ca-call this feeling th-that just go furious when y-you're around someone o-or just suddenly have butterflies in your stomach...?" Their eyes widen as if they have seen a ghost or something.

"Did you ask Mr. Sebastian about that?" Bardory asked, intrigued.

"He has no knowledge of it." It's because he is a damn cold-hearted demon...!

"So Mr. Sebastian does not know some things..." Finnian said, peeling some potatoes before resting it down.

"Perhaps you have someone you like? Says Wordsworth." Snake said. I... Like as of... Like–like? Wh-what is just happening?!

"The Young Master likes someone?! Who is it? What is she like?" Mey-Rin asked followed by Finnian.

"Who's the lucky girl then, Young Master?" 'Who' is the question...? I-I can't really tell them how I have those... Butterflies in my stomach...

"Sh-she's [Age]..." I rubbed the back of my neck, strangely feeling embarrassed all of a sudden...

"Oooh! The same age as Lady _!" Mey-Rin chuckled as she clasped her hands in delight for the news. So... I LIKE that someone... Someone like... HER?! WHAT?!

Bardory cleared his throat before we averted our attention to him. "Ermm... Not to be rude or anything but... Don't you that lady is a... Little bit older than you...?"

I crossed my arms, glaring at him. "What are you trying to say?"

"T-the so-society young master... They may get the wrong idea if you had those feelings for the lady... Especially you have Lady Elizabeth as fiancée... They might also accuse that lady as a... Hebephile..."

...Wh-what...?

"Bardory...! Don't be so rude...!" Mey-Rin complained but I dismissed her...

"I-I'm sorry... Young master... I-I was just worried...! I didn't mean to bring you down or anything...!"

I shook my head sadly as I headed to the door. "Forget about what I said. It is nothing but mere uselessness." And so I left as I could hear Mey-Rin and Finnian scolding Bardory.

I walked through the empty, silent corridor. All these bloody past weeks or months or so, I've LIKED that buffoon...?! Even so, how?! My mind was filled with questions and remembering what Bardory said... Why her...?! She doesn't have any potential for me and why am I thinking of her right now?!

Sighing as I turn to the study and opened it. I saw my desk messy with papers scattered around it. That dimwit must have snooped here...! "Get out of the corners. Immediately, you old buffoon...!" She must not have left the room since the papers were organized when I visited here hours ago.

And so she did came out from the corner.

Your POV
How did that brat knew I was still here...?! He couldn't have saw me or anything...! I must keep my composure up as I don't want to fall for his trickery...!

I observed him walk to me. He was really short but surprising as he can manage the work of those dirty nobles... He awoke me from my thoughts with a snap of his finger. He firstly looked at the door if it was closed then back at me.

"Sit." I looked around for a chair but only his chair was present. I raised a brow thinking of his statement as a joke. "On the floor then, muttonhead." I gave him an irritated look before turning my head away. "No. Why would I sit on the floor?" I smirked at his angry, puffy expression.

"I am ordering you to sit down!" Until the doors opened and Sebastian went in with a cart and a sly smirk.

"Young master, why don't YOU sit on the floor instead? It is rude to treat Lady _ like that." He stopped the cart at a distance from us as he prepared the tea.

The brat was then burning from embarrassment at Sebastian's statement making me blush a bit for his defense for me..

"Whose side you are then, Sebastian, me or this buffoon?!" Sebastian simply smiled at him.

"I am only teaching you how to treat a lady properly, young master." He said as he poured the tea into the cup before handing it to me then to the rascal who was been silenced.
