The Williams' children are Elizabeth's and her husband, Lucas, is an OC.
I don't want to stall anymore so here is the next chapter.
What do you mean Cian?" I asked him as he looked me in the eye. "Those people are very bad people Mommy. I can feel it, you can't trust them. They scare me when they're around!" He said distressed. I petted the boy's soft ebony hair. "It's alright Cian, besides there is no real reason to trust anyone but your own instincts."
"But what about family, Mommy?" Alice asked slightly confused. I looked down at Alice and gave an apologetic look. It made me remember Aunt Ann. I know she did it for her own revenge, but we don't know what to say. "You can trust them but never fully. You still have to keep something's to yourself. " I replied to her. Sebastian just coughed in his hand and turned his face. Making me lift an eyebrow towards him.
" Ciel, Sebastian you both just have to go and dance at least once!"Elizabeth said tugging on my arm towards the dance floor. I glared at the thing since I still disliked dancing. It was tedious and I didn't see the point in it.
" No thank you Elizabeth I think that it's fine. I'll just watch for now." I answered waving my hands to her. She gave me a stern look and put her hands on her hips.
" Ciel Phantomhive Michealis, you and Sebastian must dance. This is your event and it would be disrespectful that you don't even dance once in front of your guest." She scolded me. We both were stuck in glaring contest to see who'd give up first. She sighed and gave me a defeated smile. " Fine I give up. Thomas why don't you and Alice go as substitutes for you then." She smiled towards the kids. Her children smirked at Alice as she hid behind a growling Alex. She stared at us asking for help with pure terror on her face.
" Well I think it will be fine if we go darling." Sebastian finally said to Elizabeth making her smile. He pulled me towards the dance floor as the song was almost over. I looked up at Sebastian as I put my hands on his shoulder and hands as he looked down giving me an apologetic smile.
" I know you wouldn't like this my lady but we do have to keep up our appearance, since we are the Michealis couple who are we if we couldn't put on a show." He told me with that all known smirk of his. I glared up at him.
" What show?" I hissed. " You know I can't dance Sebastian, especially with all these people around." I said looking him straight in the eye. I saw him give me a soft look as he tightened his grip around my waist making me give a surprised squeak. He leaned down feeling his hot breath on my ear.
" It will be alright Ciel just don't think of them. Just look at me and follow my lead." I was shocked to hear my name come out of his mouth as I fell speechless and just let him pull me along into the Viennese waltz.
" You look beautiful tonight Ciel." I heard him compliment as he spun us around with all the others in a uniformed manor. I looked at a neighboring couple as I blushed deeper trying to avoid his ever so observant gaze. I felt him cup my face and moved it back facing him.
" I told you to only look at me." He whispered dipping me close to the floor touching our foreheads. Why was he doing this? There isn't any reason for him to act this way. He's only stuck with my because of the higher ups. He probably has better things to do then to be stuck with the likes of me.
" W-what are you doing?" I stuttered as he straightened us up ignoring my question.
I looked from the corner of my eyes seeing that we were the only ones in the the middle. I felt his hand moving towards my left thigh as he propped my leg up as I wrapped it around his waist. He smiled at my reaction as he let my leg down and we continued dancing. I finally gave up asking questions and let myself drown in the dance. I felt us move gracefully along as the on lookers stared at us in awe. He pulled me down for a final dip as the music ended. His arms were once again wrapped around my waist with my arms around his neck.
" You're doing better my lady." He complimented keeping an arm to my waist as he led us back to the group. I looked to see the three children waiting patiently with their aunt and cousins for us to come closer before they came to us. As I see the three I think of what probably could be mine.
" You looked pretty out there dancing with daddy, mommy." Alice complimenting me.
" Yes you both were the most graceful out of all the dancers tonight." Alex added.
" Mommy and Daddy looks tired though." Cian added handing us glasses of lemonade. Even though the dance didn't faze Sebastian, we both thank him and down the glasses. Like most of the things we eat now there is pieces of soul inside the drink.
" See that wasn't to bad Ciel." Elizabeth told me. " You both looked gorgeous out there." She said giving us her own compliment. Sebastian kissed my temple and rested his head on top of mine, since I was only a head shorter then him now, making her squeal on how cute we looked.
" Why thank you lady Elizabeth. I'm just glad that today was one of those good days and my darling was able to dance today." He said teasingly towards me making me huff as I looked away pouting.
" You two are just so adorable. You both must really love each other to stay so close and tease each other so openly." She commented with a bright smile on her face. Sebastian's arms tightened around my waist.
" Of course why wouldn't I love Ciel?" He said with a fake smile on his face. I saw all three children have a certain glint in all their eyes as they started a silent conversation with each other. I spent the rest of the night this way with Sebastian wrapping an arm around my waist as we talked with other nobles and clients of the company. All giving us comments on how well the company thrives, the mansion, the children and how we must love one another. It makes my stomach cringe knowing it isn't true. It's always an act for Sebastian to say the best answers to keep up the reputation.
When the last of the guest finally left I sighed plopping myself down on the bed with legs hanging over the edge already dressed in my night wear. Sebastian was sitting next to me taking of his jacket and shoes.
"Darling, you must be so tired after tonight." Sebastian cooed as he leaned over caressing my cheek. I groaned and swatted away his hand away from my face. The humans were gone, the servants were asleep. He should have dropped this affectionate act once we were by ourselves. I know he's only forced to be with me because of the contract and the superiors.
" Enough, stop it Sebastian." I ordered him with a stern look. He looked at me confused.
" Drop what my lord?" He asked. I glared up at him and sat up glaring at him.
" You know what I'm talking about Sebastian. This affectionate act that your putting up. No one is here Sebastian, the children are all in bed so we don't have to act like lovers and stop calling me 'dear' and 'darling' already we are away form on lookers. I know you don't really want to do this Sebastian, you don't mean it. So drop it okay." I said finally getting something off my chest.
" What do you mean I don't really want to do this?" Sebastian asked raising an eyebrow as if he was completely oblivious to what I was saying.
"You really don't want to be stuck here with me with those three children in a different dimension. Before I know you only stayed because you were able to get something out of it, my soul. Now you're only here because your superiors told you to stay with me and babysit me so I wouldn't do anything stupid. Just leave me already go some where you actually what to be. " I stated coldly. He looked at me with that ever stoic face of his as his gaze softened putting both hands on my face. " Let go of me." I hissed. He ignored my demand and chuckled.
" Even now my young master still misses something that I must fill out for him." He sighed as he pressed his forehead to mine. " If I wanted to I would have left you once you turned. I could have ended the contract once we reached the mansion and left you. Even back in hell I could have turned down the job and let some other creature be assigned to you as a partner letting them do whatever they want with you." He said in a harsh tone.
"Then why?" I whispered in disbelief. " W-why did you stay?" I demanded gripping onto his shirt.
" I used to think you were this interesting toy I just gained. Something to entertain me while I was stuck in another contract waiting for my meal, something to occupy my time and if I wasn't able to eat your soul if I got bored just I'd leave you." He said with a softer tone smiling." But now I couldn't stand the thought," He answered as his smile turned into a frown. " I can't stand the thought of you being alone, I can't stand the thought of you being with some worthless thrash that doesn't deserve to be with you." He confessed. " I don't understand how your the only being I would stay with even if I saw the chance of doing whatever I wanted again. I would never have done this for anyone, but you. " I looked in his face to look to see if he was lying, but no his face was unreadable as usual. It's frustrating me why say this now. Even though we've been together for nine years yet he never made one remark about this..
" What are you trying to say! You've never said anything like this before. Not even mentioned it." I yelled pushing him away from me.
" It's because this has been the only time that the topic has come up. You never asked. I assumed you already knew this though Ciel, but it looks like I was wrong." He sighed reaching out a hand to caress my cheek giving me a sad smile.
" I don't get how you could be so smart yet so oblivious sometimes Ciel." He said before he kissed me on the lips pressing me down to the bed. I reach up to grab Sebastian's hair and try to press him closer to me. He broke the kiss pressing his forehead to mine. " I love you Ciel. I've always loved you. " He said giving me a peck on the lips again.
" I love you too Sebastian." I whispered as he carried me to the head of the bed and set me down on the pillows. He plants kisses all over my exposed skin running his hands under my shirt.
" Sebastian." I panted gripping his hair making him pause. I looked into Sebastian's eyes and saw this longing and lustful look in Sebastian's eyes. He held my hand up to his mouth and kissed it smiling at me.
" If you want to stop we can do so and if you want to continue we can, but this is your only chance." He said in a low tone brushing a stray strand of my hair away from my face.
" P-please don't stop." I said reaching up and kissing him.
We stood outside their bedroom to see if our little potion worked for the two. It wasn't much of a love potion it was more of heightening the emotions and senses for the two. After a couple minutes of Ciel's yelling everything seemed to quiet down.
" ~Ah! Sebastian!" We heard from the other side of the door. I felt my face redden as Alex and I ran silently back to our rooms where Cian was waiting on the news. When we finally caught our breaths and sat on the bed.
" So did your plan work Sissy?" Cian asked holding onto his favorite Bitter Rabbit plushie. I looked over towards Alex and glared.
" You put to much of it inside the drinks!" I accused him with a slight blush still on my face as he sat with folded legs on what used to be his bed. I only kept it here when I needed Alex around or if Cian decided to sleep in my room that night even when both decided to sleep with me in my room.
" I did no such thing dearest sister. This is the push that both need to get closer to each other." Alex answered. " You see how Sebastian looks at Ciel, how everything must be perfect, how he hovers around him to make sure it's all okay for him, that he's safe. Even if Ciel's already a demon and could handle himself." Alexander explained. I sighed at my brother and went to sit next to him.
" I hope this works Alexander this might just get Momma and Papa to come back." I said hopefully. Cian came over and climbed onto my lap as Alexander wrapped his arms around us.
" Let's hope when they do come back it's before who ever's watching the mansion intrude and tries to take something from us. " I heard him say with a low growl in his voice.
