Lizzy's Waking Hour
The clock struck nine and Lizzy remained in bed, asleep. Sebastian walked upstairs and into Ciel's room. "Lady Elizabeth, it is time to get up."
She sat up, as Sebastian set her breakfast down before her. She sat up and looked down at it. There were scones and tea and other delicious pastries. She rubbed at her eyes. "Why would you make me so much? I'm not ill..."
Sebastian smiled down at the breakfast plate. "It is because Ciel made it for you."
He left the room before she could answer. She was clearly shocked. They tasted so delicious, she couldn't picture Ciel making any of this. What was Sebastian teaching him?
After breakfast, Lizzy walked downstairs, and into the kitchen, "Ciel? Did you make me breakfast?"
Ciel looked at her out the corner of his eye, "No."
"Really?"
"Yes." He crossed his arms, then, faced her. "I don't know how to cook."
Lizzy cocked her head, "But, Sebastian said-"
"What that I made you scones?" He picked up a scone that was drenched in honey. "I'd never..."
He popped a piece of it in his mouth after ripping a part of it apart with his fingers.
She walked over, "You're sure..." Her eyes looked at a baking pan, "What's that?"
Ciel looked over at it. He thought he put everything away. "That is..." He sighed, "Fine. Sebastian told me that in order for me to become a faithful demon I must learn to cook..."
Once he had his scone ripped apart to a small bite in his hand, he ate the rest. Lizzy smiled, "That's not something I would hate you for." Her eyes closed tightly, then she hugged him tightly, "That would be stupid!"
He gasped for air, then pushed her away. "You're going to kill me!"
Lizzy's smile stretched tighter. So much it looked like a regular Lizzy smile from when she was actually happy for once. "You should smile more often..." and with that she began to leave the kitchen, "I liked your scones and tea, Ciel!"
Sebastian walked around the manor, holding something. Lizzy walked over, "Whatcha doin'..?"
He stopped in his tracks. "Grell set up cameras around the manor. I intend to take them down."
Lizzy looked up at him, "Oh. Good luck!"
She walked away, leaving Sebastian to his business. "Now if I am correct..." He walked over to the couch and picked something that looked like a thorn out of the couch, "Of course..."
He walked out to the courtyard and set all the cameras he ever found in the manor to flames. "That'll teach him not to spy on me..."
He walked back inside where he saw Ciel sitting on the couch. He sat next to him, "I see Elizabeth is returning back to her former self."
Ciel looked at the floor, cooped up in his own thoughts. "Yes... she is."
Sebastian looked at him, "You are becoming a fine demon."
He walked off, leaving Ciel to think about how much he's come along since he's been Sebastian's young master. He learned to cook, to defend himself, and he would never be able to do any of that if Sebastian was still his butler. He thought for a moment... If Alois never wished my soul to be preserved... if I became a full demon... What would come? What would today be like if Sebastian was still my butler? What if I died that day? What would today hold?
Ciel continued to look at the floor as he reminisced his many memories. Recalling the days when he was human. When he wasn't a demon, but a young master. So, much has changed. It was almost crazy... Almost utter and complete ludicrous...
