Broken Smiles (A Sebaciel story)

Chapter 8

Ciel was staying completely still not knowing what the demon might do to him. Those glowing fuchsia eyes read the words danger. The teen felt that if he made one false move that is entire existence could be brought to an end. Realistically at any given moment he was able to order Sebastian to stop and the butler would have to comply but was the bluenette in the mindset to be thinking that straightly? No.

The man seemed to be looking at him with hungry eyes, those that a predator do when lying their eyes upon their delicious prey. Ciel could have sworn they had some tension going on between the two of them; their face seeming to get closer and closer. Ciel could feeling his heart racing in his ears, so loudly that he wanted to shut it up. His cheeks were a flushed pink but yet he wasn't denying nor rejecting anything of what he thought was about to happen, not in the slightest. Sebastian's eyes had went half lidded but still had that piercing look to them. The little master let his eyes shut and prepared for what was to come.

Sebastian's cold lips brushed against Ciel's soft plump ones. Just as they were about to both add some pressure into said kiss, the moment was interrupted. In one quick movement the demon pulled away, let go of Ciel's chin and stood up tall. He heard footsteps coming their way and knew this wouldn't be a good thing to be caught doing. The teen felt like he had just been teased and toyed with, though he knew it wasn't the demons fault but rather the person who was walking their way. Ciel touched his lips
with the tips of his two fingers, feeling as if he had lost something that he barely had.

"Young Master, begin walking in the direction of the footsteps. We have to make it seem as if you got separated by accident." Sebastian leaned down to whisper in Ciel's ear, his breath sending the teen shivers down his spine. The bluenette shook off the feelings he was having and went back to his stoic, moody face. He walked in the direction in which the footsteps were approaching with Sebastian following right behind him.

"Ciel, is that you? Where did you go!?" The blonde girl who wasn't gone for long enough had cried out. She ran over to Ciel and gave him an unhappy expression, before grabbing his hand.

"I happened to get separated for a brief moment. I must have not been watching where I was going and well Sebastian found me and was leading me back in the correct direction." Ciel explained with little to no emotion in his voice. That's when Elizabeth looked behind the teen to see in the shadows the butler standing tall. She narrowed her eyes at him, not enjoying that he was the one to have found her precious little Ciel before him. Sebastian only gave that fake grin in return, providing no words as to not cause any issues.

"Oh, I see! Well, let's be glad Sebastian found you so quickly or who knows where you would have been!" Elizabeth then gave her little giggle, wanting to keep her perfect girly personality going. The truth was that she wanted to keep Ciel far away from Mr. Perfect behind him. She didn't like the feeling she got from him as if he was up to some mischievous work. Anyone coated in black such as he was was never someone to trust so strongly, at least that was her opinion, she enjoyed bright colours and felt that they expressed oneself.  The blonde grabbed Ciel's arm and began to lead him towards the game room. She wanted to try and play at chess with her beloved boy. "Sebastian, I'd like to play some chess with Ciel. Could you bring out the chess pieces?" She asked in her annoying sweet tone. Sebastain felt his entire being wanting to destroy this girl but held back knowing he wasn't able to.

"Of course Lady Elizabeth. I'll set everything up for you two immediately." Sebastian took a different direction in order to arrive at the game room faster and be able to set up the chess pieces.  He got everything neatly set up and even got the time to rearrange the area a bit.

Elizabeth and Ciel walked into the gaming room and Elizabeth took the seat opposite to Ciel after complaining for a few minutes on how she wanted to sit beside him. She was difficult. The teen only believed in choosing the white chess pieces and of course wasn't going to allow his fiancé to have any special treatment at one of his favorite games. Sebastian took a look at the two and then gave them both a smile. "I'll go prepare some tea for you both after that I'll begin dinner preparations." He bowed before walking away.
