Hello, how have you guys been? I've been getting into K-pop so much lately (my favorite group is B.A.P. Ah, Zelo), like can Choi Junhong marry me please? He speaks English (or supposedly he does, I haven't seen many videos of him speaking English) and I could just learn Korean for him.
Anyways, I was previously suffering from something called 'zero inspiration' and I think it's been fixed for the next half hour. Obviously, I'm typing this up with fluctuating intvervals of a good mood and bad mood, so hopefully it turns out good.
Ciel stared in blatant disgust as Natasha and her father treated James' wounds.
"Are you ready?" Sebastian asked, grabbing a swollen and heavily bruised ankle. "It's broken and I doubt you want it to settle that way." His slender fingers pushed into the groove of the broken bone and a loud crack sounded throughout the makeshift-infirmary; In reality, they were inside the bathroom.
"Ow," James murmured, making a bite at his lower lip.
"What are you doing?" Ciel wondered, feeling agitated. "Is that really necessary?"
Natasha was currently licking the side of James' cheek, wiping away the dried blood. "It's so that his face won't scar," she answered innocently, "He may not be the brightest of demons back home, but he is certainly one of the prettiest."
The young lord's eyes narrowed, "Oh really? Is that true, James?"
He shrugged, "Maybe. She's making me sound like more of an idiot than I actually am, though. ." Then with a frown, he said to Natasha, and quite proudly, "The prettiest demon, by far, is Scarlett."
"Liar!" Nicholas exclaimed, walking inside the room. He was covered in dirt and grass-stains. "Natasha is the most beautiful girl in the world, demonic or not, and you know it!"
Natasha spared a glance at her fiancee, feeling rather smug, "I knew there was a reason that I didn't completely oppose our engagement."
"Pfft," Ciel laughed.
"What's so funny, Phantomhive?" Natasha hissed, narrowing her ruby red eyes him.
His blue eye was full of mischief, "I'd feel rather disappointed if you were the best thing they've got in the demon world." Ciel looked up at his butler and asked, "What do you say, Sebastian? Is it really true?"
The butler smiled, not unkindly and replied with a sigh, "It's true that the most attractive demons come from nobility, and we are nobles, but that doesn't mean you can assume that all demons are beautiful."
"So, what?" Nicholas asked. "You didn't explain anything at all! Are you trying to say your daughters aren't pretty?"
James nodded, "Which daughter do you believe to be the most beautiful?"
Natasha quirked an eyebrow at her father, "Yeah, I want to know, too. Who's the prettiest one in our family, Daddy?" Natasha's eyes watered, she pouted her lips and ultimately gave off an aura of purity.
Ciel shuddered at her attempt to be cute, for it reminded him of his exuberant fiancee. He may care for Elizabeth, but sometimes. . She was a little too much for the subdued teen.
"All of my daughters are absolutely stunning, not to mention that my wife looks absolutely delicious for her age too," Sebastian grumbled quietly. Ciel and Nicholas both rolled their eyes. Backing away slowly, Sebastian then smirked, "But there is indeed one demon who has the capability to surpass even their beauty."
"And who would that be, hmm?" Natasha wondered aloud, still pouting adorably at him.
Sebastian chuckled halfheartedly and patted her head. "Obviously, that would be me," he finally answered, crossing his arms and sticking his nose towards the ceiling.
It took everyone a few moments to process what the demon said, but when they finally did, laughter became their immediate reaction.
"You're joking, right?" Nicholas guffawed, clutching his stomach. "Please tell me you were joking!"
"In this day and age, your looks are too. . Sinister and mean-looking," Natasha murmured, trying not to look into the face of her father. What kind of narcissistic idiot was her
"Sinister?" Sebastian asked, "I don't look like a dangerous person, do I?" He was genuinely concerned upon hearing he looked 'mean', as a butler, it was his duty to be happily loyal to his master, right?
Ciel snorted quietly, "Of course you do! You look exactly like the kind of person who would kick a puppy or leave an old woman who fell down on the floor. You'd probably piss yourself laughing as well."
James coughed in silent agreement with Ciel.
Sebastian's brows furrowed, "I wouldn't-"
"YES YOU WOULD, DON'T LIE," both Natasha and Nicholas shouted. Their cheeks were rosy-pink and sore from smiling so much.
"Whatever," he grumbled, tightening his hold on James' ankle. CRAAAAACCCKK.
"OW!" James screamed, tears bursting from his eye ducts, "DID YOU JUST BREAK IT AGAIN?"
"You really are mean, Daddy," Natasha murmured, hiding behind her young fiancee.
Said young fiancee wondered what kind of torture would he get in the future with Sebastian Michaelis as his father-in-law. "Do you think he'll try to kill me before I can even marry you?" he asked Natasha.
She shrugged, "Who knows? Maybe. I'm sure he'll at least try. I mean Scarlett already likes your brother- now wait- does she love him? Well, anyways, she's old enough to make her own decisions and I think her growth period has been over for a while now. Dad can't stop them, really. It's not up to him to decide anymore. This fight was more of a formality, which I really appreciated, even though it was done all wrong."
"Done wrong?" Ciel's brows furrowed, "How was this done wrong? All they had to do was fight, right? Clearly, James lost and Sebastian won, so how is it wrong?"
"Jeez, and I thought you weren't stupid," Natasha said quietly. "Obviously, an event like this needs to be done in front of the whole congregation of families who are going to be united through the marriage. If the hopeful male loses, then there are witnesses everywhere and the final decision can go to the winner." She was quiet for a second and then continued, "Although, I get it doesn't matter much here, since Dad would've approved of James and Scarlett regardless, but still. It would've been nicer for my sister and her family to see how badly he wants to marry her."
Sebastian had a thought and then smiled, "How about we visit your sister back home, hmm?"
I also had a thought and hopefully it's a good one for the next chapter. Thanks for reading! It was short, but short is nice, right? Like when you were a skirt.
. . Happy 3-months Belated-New Year, guys!
