A ribbon is thrown into the air and land on the blue-gray-haired earl. He crossed his arms and scowls
"I don't see what pleasures you find in this" He said as he watches his fiancee unwrapping her presents.
Of course, he wouldn't understand. I mean what do you expect from him, he's Ciel Phantomhive

The housekeeper and the butler watch the two from a distance. Étoile chuckled and slowly walks behind Ciel, he flinched as she placed her hands on his shoulders
"Merry Christmas, blueberry pirate!"
"Blue-" Ciel was shortly cut off from Étoile by her finger hovering over his lips. The Earl glance away to hid his flushed face, he then made eye contact with his butler. Sebastian's gaze made it uncomfortable for Ciel

"Lizzy! You missed a present!" Étoile happily exclaimed and pointed at the ribbon that lays on Ciel's head. Lizzy ran next to Ciel and start to suffocate him with affection. Étoile smiled and walked away from them to give them some space. Étoile stood next to Sebastian and reach into her pocket
"Merry Christmas Sebastian!" She pulled out a crochet cat "This is your present! I tried my best"

Sebastian stayed silent and gaze down at the cat and observe it. It was quite small, small enough to fit in a teacup. Sebastian smiled and accepted the gift
"I appreciate your hard work for crafting this gift for me. Merry Christmas"
Étoile is overjoyed to hear his words then he exited the lounge

He sighs, annoyed by her again
'How long do I have to keep this up? This "Friendship" is going to be the last of me' He may be annoyed but he also enjoys it. The mixed feelings continue to disturb him. He enters his chambers and settles down the cat on his desk. He opened his closet and sighs, facepalmed at the sight of it

Since Étoile enjoys spending her time making homemade gifts daily, she mostly gives them to Sebastian and Sebastian didn't want to deny her gifts so he accepted. He regretted it deeply. His closet, filled with many and many items made by Étoile

You might be asking... Why couldn't he throw them out?

The problem is... Most of them are cat-themed. His weakness

He went to his desk and picked up the pile of envelopes, most of them were invites for Ciel. There was a certain letter that made Sebastian stop for a moment. He examines it

A letter from Her Majesty

'What an interesting case'
Étoile thought to herself as she observed the four naked men hanging by their legs along with a note. Ciel was busy talking to Scotland Yard officers
'I wonder whats the person's reasoning to do this' Étoile spotted Ciel and Sebastian leaving, she quickly catches up to them
"So! Where are we heading now?" She smiled despite the incident that happened
