ELIZABETH'S P.O.V.

During the funeral, Hantai's butler gave me a box and a letter. "My master planned on giving you this," Was all he said before walking away.

I opened the box, it was a necklace. One with a heart and a ruby in the middle. It's beautiful. I then opened the letter. It only said three words. "I love you." I smiled lightly at the letter them tucked it in my purse along with the box. I put on the necklace and sighed.

After Hantai's funeral had ended, Ciel approached me. I don't know what to say to him. I wiped the tears from my eyes with a handkerchief and looked up at him. "I'm sorry," He spoke first, breaking the silence.

"No, you're not. You hated him ever since day one. You killed him. " A few tears fell down and I took a pause. "You wanted him dead. You--" Ciel cut me off at the start of my sentence.

"Yes, all those things are true. But I knew how much he meant to you. I would never do anything to hurt you, Elizabeth.. I'm so sorry." He took a step towards me but I stepped away. I couldn't deal with this right now.

Tears filled my eyes once again. "I'm sorry Ciel, I just need to be alone right now.. I know you're sorry, but I just watched my best friend be buried.." Gosh... My sentences are unintelligent crying messes. I hardly think they even make sense right now. I hope he understands...

"Elizabeth, I am truly sorry. I know how much he meant to you, I didn't mean to, I swear...." He took a long pause and dropped his gaze to the floor. "Lizzy, I love you.. I would never do anything take away your bestfriend on purpose. You have to believe me. I don't want to lose you."

I looked up at him, and for a moment, we simply looked at one another. "Ciel, I know you're sorry. And I love you too, but right now I just need time to mourn over the fact that my friend is dead. I know it was an accident, I believe you.. But he's still dead. I just need time to grieve..."

He frowned, then offered me his hand to shake it. "I guess we'll see each other when you're ready." Instead of shaking his hand, I hugged him, crying into his chest once more.

He seemed surprised at first but he held me close, allowing me to sob into him. "I'm sorry, I am so sorry," I heard him whisper to me.

-TIMESKIP- ONE WEEK LATER-

I sat on my bed, sighing lightly. I don't what to do. I don't know how to react. Hantai is dead and I just don't know how to move past this. When Madam Red died, I cried and cried for months. But to this day, every day on her birthday, I leave red roses on her grave.

Hantai was my absolute best friend and now he's just gone.. How does one react to that? How does one move past that? How does one just let go? The only person I want to talk to this about is Hantai... Ugh. I don't know.. I just don't know.

With a sigh, I picked up my tea amd took a sip, inhaling the smell of Earl Grey afterwards. Earl Grey, reminds my of Ciel. But, right now I just need to focus a little on myself, right? Yeah. I need to get better. But I need to give myself time to mourn and let my dear friend go..

I heard a knock on my door and I groaned. Ugh. I'm not in the mood to see anyone. With a sigh, I set my tea down amd went to the door. It was Ciel. "Ciel, hi. What're you doing here?" I asked, puzzled.

"I came to see how you were doing.. Is that alright?" He answered. Truth be told, I was glad he came over. I was home alone, and being alone with sad thoughts doesn't really help.

I nodded. "Yes, it's fine.. Come in," I stepped aside and allowed him into my room. Once he was in, I shut the door the took as at on my bed.

"So, how are you holding up?" He asked quietly.

"I've been better.." I responded, my gaze on the floor. I don't want to talk about Hantai, and if he mentions him, I don't want him to see me cry. "Can we please talk about something else?"

Ciel nodded, sighing lightly. "Elizabeth, I care about you." His voice was cold, sounding annoyed. But even with that tone, I know he means it.. He took a seat beside me and took my hand.

"I care about you too, Ciel." I looked at him, lacing our fingers together. I do care about him. More than anything. And for that small moment, that's all that mattered. We both leaned in and our lips touched.

For that moment, all my problems seemed to dissapear. His hand cupped my cheek, and I shut my eyes. We kissed softly and slowly, for only a moment before I slowly broke the kiss. "I really do love you..." I whispered. We hadn't said "I love you," In so long, yet, I finally knew it was true.

He pressed his lips against mine and we kissed again, this time I wrapped my arms around his neck and closed my eyes. I felt his arms snake around my waist and he pulled me closer. It was sweet and gentle until he licked my bottom lip and the kiss intensified, his tongue soon exploring my mouth.

He pulled me closer, up against his body. Ciel slowly broke the kiss amd trailed it down to my neck, kissing and sucking on my skin. I bit my lip. I missed this.

Ciel gently bit down on my collar bone and I couldn't help but to let out a small moan. He stopped and looked up at me, meeting my gaze. He pressed his lips against mine once more. "I love you..." He whispered after pecking my lips.

"Stay for the night..." I said softly, holding him close. I then realized that I would be okay as long as I had him by my side. Ciel was my rock. I realized he was everything I needed. I knew then and there that I could trust him. I knew then and there that I want to spend my life with him. I knew then and there that I actually love him..
