I know the chapters don't really last that long ._. but I hope you enjoy reading them just as much :) Anyway...on with the story :D
You had changed into the white dress Sebastian had handed you. It wasn't anything fancy, it was a simple white dress that ended above your knees and had a white ribbon to adorn it near you waistline.
You spent the next few minutes thinking of what you were gonna say to Ciel, as you brushed your [h/l] [h/c] hair in front of the dresser. Those few minutes were peaceful and still. Before Sebastian had knocked on your door.
"The young master is calling for you." He smirked at you, waiting for an answer.
"I-I see..." You placed the brush on the dresser and followed Sebastian to Ciel's study. You remembered the days when you and Ciel would sneak into the study, trying to take a peek of what Vincent Phantomhive had been doing. You smiled slightly at the memory.
Memories...were once a part of broken dreams...of dreams of you and I...
"I have brought her, young master." Sebastian said.
"You may leave now, Sebastian." Ciel replied, opening the door to his study.
"As you wish." Sebastian bowed before going on to attend to his butler duties.
"Good afternoon, Ciel..." You curtsied before entering the room.
"Take a seat." Ciel had in fact taken a seat on one of the armchairs of the study, he gestured you to take the one opposite his.
"It will be my pleasure..." You took a seat and thought of ways on how to start a conversation, before Ciel had placed a chess board on the coffee table separating the two chairs.
"Would you like to play? Just like the old times?" Ciel smiled slightly. An image of his smiling face when you were young flashed between your eyes.
"I would love to." You smiled back at him.
After a few minutes of playing Ciel had won the game having only 5 of his men taken. You sighed in defeat and sank back into the armchair.
"As always, you are able to beat me superbly." You giggled, resting your head on your palm.
"But you have lasted far longer than the other people I play with." He rested his back onto the chair and chuckled lightly.
Yes...if it's her...I have no need to hide my emotions...
"My my my, to be praised by you. It is truly an honor." You added a bit of sarcasm into the line and stared at Ciel, puzzled as to why he had stood up so abruptly.
"Ciel is there something wro-" You weren't able to finish, as you felt his arms embrace you tightly, as if he was trying to make sure of your very existence.
"Ciel...what-"
"I'm glad that...you're alive...I thought...I thought I lost everything..." He hugged you tighter, the pain in your chest started to grip at your heart, you hugged him back, memories of your childhood returned to you, tears falling and the pain grew.
"Ciel...Ciel! I was so scared! I thought I lost you! That I'd never see you again!" You sobbed into his chest, getting his coat wet was the least of your concerns as you let yourself give in to the warmth of a loving embrace.
"_...I'm here now...and I won't let anybody...take you away from me again...I promise you...because you're my..." Ciel paused for a bit, you cried still as he continued to embrace you, like the times he once did during your childhood.
first love... Ciel mentally shook his head.
"best friend..." He finished and continued to embrace you, trying to calm down the tears that continued to flow.
An arrow to the heart...that's what it felt like...These arms of mine, this body of mine...everything I am now...I'm not the same person who calmed and soothed you...I am a sinner...an immortal...a death god... You pulled away and wiped your tears, blushing a bit as he handed you a handkerchief.
"T-thank you..." You wiped off the tears and took side glances at Ciel," I-I'm sorry for getting...for getting your coat wet..." You blushed a deeper shade as he cupped your cheek.
"Don't mind it..." He smiled slightly. The look of worry in your eyes as he called on for Sebastian.
There's something...something she's not telling me...Yet, should I jeopardize the friendship we have over some petty secret?
A faint knock was heard. The door opened and Sebastian stepped into the room.
"Is there something you need? Young master." He added quickly. Glancing at you before at Ciel.
"Have dinner prepared immediately." Ciel ordered.
"Yes, my lord." Sebastian bowed low before continuing on to the kitchen.
"C-Ciel...I-I'm going to my room now...Thank you for the game. And y-you know..." You blushed a bit as you curtsied and left the room as he nodded.
You walked down the hall to the guest room, passing by a maid who was fretting over the flower arrangements, and Tanaka who, as usual, held his cup of tea and sipped, laughing contentedly to himself.
You were walking peacefully before...
'_! Where the heck are you? Will is giving me double the work because you're on day off!' Grell's voice rang in your head. You sighed before replying.
'I'm visiting a friend...you could handle all that work. Sir William doesn't really give me that much either.' You sighed as Grell continued ranting into your head, the peaceful atmosphere disturbed. You made your way to your room and immediately dived into the soft and clean sheets of the huge bed.
'Could you please shut up? I'm about to sleep here.' You snapped at Grell.
'Oh I'm sorry, but just come back quickly! I've had enough of these paperwork. I wanna go out for some action!' Grell said in a sarcastic tone.
You sighed in relief as he finally stopped and took a deep breath before letting it out again.
Ciel...I should have known...he never looked at me 'that' way...I was getting my hopes up too high...Ciel...forgive me for hiding what I truly am...and what I truly feel...at least I could admit to myself...that 'I love you'... Ciel...
Then, that's that hehe ^^' I hoped you enjoyed reading it at least...Don't forget to leave a review! This fic's improvements and the future chapters all depend on you! The next time I'll update is tomorrow :) HAVE A GOOD DAY EVERYBODY!
