OH lawdy how long has it been? Too damn long its time I update this story so while I have an idea fresh in my mind I'm going to get on with it.
And sorry for being sick for so long :c
Well anyways you guys know I don't own Black Butler, sadly.
Ciel. Ciel. Ciel. Ciel. That damn boy; I couldn't get him out of my head for a second after that night. The wedding was only in 2 days according to the recent letter from the Queen. And strangely…things have been quiet. No Alois, no Claude, and it all seemed way too peaceful. And I kept getting this strange feeling something big was going to happen, this feeling was starting to scare me. I went to Meyrin about and she told I was only getting butterflies about the wedding, but I had a strange feeling that it was much more than that.
I tried to diminish those feelings and as soon as I did Ciel popped back into mind. The night of the storm, I saw something in him. Something I had never seen in him since I've met him, a soft side, for lack of better words. I could still feel his arms wrapped around me comforting me when thunder rumbled and lightning struck. I felt so safe and so at peace. It was nothing like when Yasu comforted me during a storm. The next day was nice as well, it was quiet and the weather was beautiful. I spent most of that day out in the garden. From time to time Ciel would come out and sit with me and enjoy the day. Only a few words were shared and we sat very comfortably next to each other. The next few days after that we just as quiet but Ciel was a lot more busy and we really didn't much time together. But still I found myself thinking about the young Earl.
No, I couldn't be. I just couldn't be… falling in love.
Ciel's P.O.V.
I have no idea how she's done it, but she's manage to crawl under my skin. I can't stop thinking about her. Ever since the night of the storm all I want to do is hold her and protect her from the harm of the world. I tried keeping my distance the next day but I just found myself crawling back to her. I've also taken notice that Yasu and Sebastian have been wondering off together a lot lately, I'll have to remind myself to ask that damn butler about it later, but now here I am again wanting to go and see her. I've never in my entire life felt like this before.
I stood from my desk and walked down the hallway to her room and the door was open. There she was standing there in the light of the window gazing out at the garden. I wanted to walk up behind her and hold her; tell her how much I loved her.
Wait… Did I? No I couldn't be, in love with her. I stood there shocked in my own realization that I had fallen in love with this girl. A girl, no a princess coming from another country to try and help her people and is being forced to marry me, just so her people don't starve.
No, she could never love me.
"Ciel! You startled me! Don't sneak up on me like that!" She turned around, laughed and smiled up at me. God only knows how badly I just wanted to hold her in my arms right now and forget about the world and everything in it.
Shima's P.O.V.
No, he could never love me. He probably really loved her ex-fiancé and still does; I'm only a girl from another country that was told I had to marry this Earl in order to protect my country and people. I turned around and there stood the young Earl. He scared me almost half to death.
"Ciel! You startled me! Don't sneak up on me like that!" I turned around, laughed and smiled up at him, these feelings were so new to me, and I could barely control the urge to run into his arms.
"I'm so sorry, Shima, really I didn't mean to frighten you." He said nervously and he looked down. Was that a blush I saw, no couldn't have been; I'm seeing things.
"It's alright," I smiled, "Just knock or something before coming in my room." I laughed again trying to hide the blush that I could feel slowly creeping on my cheeks.
"Well I was wondering, since Yasu and Sebastian seem quite occupied with each other-"
"You've noticed, too?" I said raising an eyebrow.
"Yes, they've been wondering off a lot together." Ciel said looking at me and somewhat walking closer.
"I talked to Yasu and she told me that they were just doing their duties as the head butler and maid of the house and Sebastian was showing her a few new tricks she could use around the house as well." I said, eyeing the boy and also stepping closer.
"Well that's good of Sebastian, now I was wondering if you would like to take a stroll out into the garden. I know you like it out there and you haven't been since the other day, so I thought maybe you would like to walk with me." I could hear the nervousness in his voice.
I smiled, "I would like that."
Ciel took my hand and just for a moment I felt like it was just us as we walked out of the mansion and into the garden. It was truly my favorite thing about living at the Phantomhive Mansion. We walked together and Ciel informed me on minor details of the wedding and we just walked and walked in the lovely garden. It was so peaceful and I was in pure bliss at that moment.
It was getting darker and Yasu come out and informed us dinner was ready. We went inside and ate in peace. After dinner and dressing in our night ware, we settled down in our bed. Once Yasu and Sebastian left I just laid there. After a while I thought Ciel had fallen but then I felt him moving next me and I felt him sit up. He leaned over and kissed my temple, lingering there for a few seconds before lying back down.
I could not help but smile as I fell asleep.
Okay so honestly I wrote this cheesy little chapter just to put a little move on with the story I was actually dreading writing this only because I didn't know what to do, so I actually think it came out good and I like it, probably not perfect but hey, I like it. I just needed to write this and get it over with so I could start writing the next chapter which is the wedding and I know where the rest is going… kind of.
Rumor also has it that there might be a sequel to this story, but first I have to finish the other two stories and then I'll start the sequel and another story I want to write.
So R&R I hope you liked it.
