Dreamgirl: Sorry for the wait, I'm finally done with this chapter. Again, it might not be that good, but I tried my best to make it interesting and long! And from now on, I'll have Ciel and Sebastian do the disclaimer!

Sebastian: No you won't!

Dreamgirl: Oh yeah? Well, what if I make you a deal?

Sebastian: What kind deal?

Ciel: Don't do it!!!

Dreamgirl: One that includes Ciel and cat-ears

Ciel: NOOOOOOO!!!!

Sebastian: *smiles cynically* DONE!!!

Dreamgirl: Then, let me hear it

Sebastian: Dream-chan does not own Kuroshitsuji. She never has and never will. Can I have my end of the deal now?

Dreamgirl: As you wish. *puts cat-ears on Ciel's head*

*Sebastian drags Ciel into a room*

Dreamgirl: Oooookaaaaay, on with the show!

Chapter 3

Even though it had been months since Ciel contacted his aunt and the Queen herself, no one had come to see him. Not that he cared; he just needed to do something because he was suffering of extreme boredom. Every. Single. Day. So it was no surprise that Ciel found himself in his father's, no, HIS office doing absolutely nothing besides writing down some unnecessary stuff. He was doing perfectly fine until he heard a very familiar voice come from the other side of the door.

"CIIIIIEEEEELLL!"

Ciel dropped the pen he had been holding, "Oh sh—oomph!"

At the same moment he had been about to shout an obscenity, a blonde tackled him to the floor.

Ciel began coughing, "Eh? Elizabeth, what are you doing here?"

The girl started giggling but allowed her cousin to sit up, "Tee hee! Your butler, what was his name again, contacted me and told me you were lonely, so, I traveled over here to keep you company!"

'That bastard', Ciel thought.

"Come on, Ciel, I haven't seen you for a LONG time! We thought you were de—Never mind, so let's go outside or something", Elizabeth grabbed Ciel's arm to pull him outside towards the garden. Ciel knew what his cousin was about to say, but decided that it wasn't worth getting depressed over. Hell, he thought he himself was dead!

It had been over two hours since Elizabeth dragged Ciel into the garden to have some tea and play with the flowers, and it was starting to be a bore. And he hasn't seen Sebastian around since he woke up! He wondered where the demon was at the moment. Ciel would've thought some more, but his dear cousin interrupted his thoughts.

"Ciel, what do you think of me?"

It was a completely innocent question, just one that the young Phantomhive lord would rather not answer. So, Ciel pretended to not have heard the blonde girl. But it was very difficult to ignore her when she turned Ciel's head to make him face her. Ciel considered telling his cousin the truth, but after a look into those emerald green eyes of hers, he decided to let her believe what she wanted. He sighed, put on a fake smile and answered,

"Lizzie…you are the greatest friend I've ever had and I wouldn't change it for the world".

Apparently, this was all Elizabeth needed to hear so she could continue believing he loved her. Thinking that was the end of things, Ciel turned away but then realized that the young girl had her eyes closed and lips puckered, 'Why that little…She doesn't honestly expect me to…Shit!' The two were only ten years old, so of course neither had the experience of a kiss and Ciel was sure he didn't want to give his virgin lips to his cousin even if she were his fiancée. 'But damn it, where is that asshole when you need him?'

As if on call, Sebastian suddenly appeared right when Elizabeth was leaning in to give Ciel a smooch.

"Excuse me, my lord, but it is time for lunch", was the only thing the butler said as he escorted his master and the guest into the manor and to the dining room. Once they were seated, Ciel suddenly realized that there were people running around!

"Sebastian, who are these people?"

"Why, my lord, they are your new servants. The maid is Maylene; the cook is named Bard; and the young one is our gardener, Finny".

Ciel glared at his butler, 'So this is what he was doing…Bastard, leaving me alone with Lizzie like that. The nerve!'

After the quick lunch, Ciel told Elizabeth, "Lizzie, don't you think you should head home?"

Ciel really hated deceiving his relatives, but he didn't want her around no matter how bored he was.

"Are you sure you are alright alone? I can stay for another day or two", Lizzie tried her best to be able to stay with Ciel.

But he would have none of that, "Auntie will be worried about you, and I can always visit you anyway. There is a carriage waiting for as we speak, and Sebastian has already packed your clothes. Send your parents my regard".

Ciel practically shoved her out the door, but made sure she actually got into the carriage. And once he made sure she was gone, he let out a relieved breath and turned around towards his room. But there was a certain somebody in his way.

"Ah, that reminds me! Sebastian?"

"Yes, my lord?"

"Why did you not tell me you were going to be out? Did I give you permission?"

"No, you did not, young master. I did not think you'd notice my absence while with the young miss", Sebastian put up a fake apologetic face on.

Ciel was pissed now and took it out the right way…by slapping the demon in the face, "And who gave you the goddamn right to invite her over!? You…you ASSHOLE!! You don't understand how I feel at all do you?" Ciel felt his eyes water but held back the tears. He wasn't sure what he was talking about, but knowing that Sebastian went out without him and left him with Elizabeth just stung like an open wound.

Sebastian, who was still in minor shock by the slap, stayed still and said nothing, "You are not to go out with my authorization from now on, am I clear?"

Sebastian cleared his throat, "Yes, my lord".

Ciel stomped off to his room and locked the door behind him. He took off all his clothes and climbed into his bed without a nightgown. Even though it was July he was cold, so he snuggled in with the bed sheets. He was about to let himself drift off to sleep when he heard someone come into the room; he sat up to see Sebastian standing right by his bed.

"How did you—?"

The demon smirked, "I am a demon after all".

Ciel frowned and lay back again.

Then he felt the bed sink and next thing he knew, Sebastian's face was a few inches away from his, "What the hell do you think you're doing?"

The butler showed no emotion, "It is my turn to ask questions, Ciel. Was it not you who said you were bored? Was it also not you who said that Elizabeth was your fiancée? I invited her for your sake, my lord".

Ciel seemed taken aback, "Well…"

Sebastian lowered his voice a bit but kept a loud, angered tone, "Why did you pray for me to show up when I did? Did you not say that you never wanted her to leave your side? Did you also not want to kiss her, my lord?"

So many questions, so little time. And as Ciel was trying to process these questions, he also asked himself new ones.

When Sebastian realized his questions weren't going to be answered anytime soon, he got off of Ciel and walked towards the door, "My apologies, my lord. That was unprofessional of me to lose my temper like that".

And he walked out, just like that. In all honesty, Ciel was frightened; he had never seen Sebastian lose his cool like that. It was if he was jealous or misunderstood something. 'But…that doesn't make sense, he's the one who invited her!' Ciel couldn't understand it himself.

As he lay there, a myriad of thoughts swam inside his head. Why was he truly upset over such a trivial matter? He didn't know.

All he did was that he was now crying silently to himself, "Damn it, what am I doing?" Ciel tried his best to wipe the tears away. He was so confused he didn't know what to do. Why did he want Sebastian to stop the kiss? Was it truly because his first kiss was important? Or was it that he wanted to only kiss the person he loved? These thoughts of love were hurting his head. And his chest suddenly felt heavy, as if his heart were breaking. Was this…love? Did he love Seba---? No, it wasn't possible. Ciel quickly discarded the thought and allowed himself to relax.

The next morning, Sebastian woke Ciel up and spoke to him as if nothing had happened. Though, Ciel saw that Sebastian still had a mark on his cheek. Then, he remembered that he had backhanded him with his ring on. The one he found in the rubbish.

"I'm sorry".

Sebastian froze, "What are you to be sorry for, my lord?"

Ciel looked at his ring, "I slapped you hard and with my ring on. It was savage of me, I can see it hurts".

Sebastian then felt his own face contort into a soft smile and he put a hand on Ciel's head, "It is alright, my lord, I forgive you. Now, you should be getting ready. You received a letter from the Queen inviting you to a gala in commemoration of your returning, young lord. So you best be prepared, for it is being held in a month in London".

"I don't know, but I think I may be fallin' for you

Droppin' so quickly, maybe I should keep this to myself

Wait until I know you better"
