Ciel's gaze softens as he listens to _________'s words, the weight of their concerns sinking into his heart. He takes a deep breath, his voice filled with sincerity and vulnerability.
"You're right, _________. I can't ignore the fact that I am engaged to Elizabeth. Our families have planned for us to be together since childhood, and it's a duty I can't simply disregard." Ciel pauses, his eyes locked with _________'s, filled with a mixture of regret and longing.
"But I can't deny my own feelings either. My heart has chosen you, _________. Despite the circumstances, despite the expectations placed upon me, I can't turn away from the love that has blossomed between us. It's a complicated situation, but I want to find a way to navigate it together."
Ciel reaches out, his fingers brushing against _________'s cheek gently. "I don't want you to be a side chick, _________. You deserve more than that. And I promise, I will do everything in my power to figure out a solution, to ensure that both you and Elizabeth find happiness. It won't be easy, but I'm willing to fight for what my heart desires."
He takes a deep breath, his voice filled with determination. "I will speak to Elizabeth, have an honest conversation with her about my feelings and the situation at hand. And together, we will find a resolution that is fair to everyone involved."
Ciel's hand lingers on _________'s cheek, his eyes pleading. "Please, _________. Give me a chance to make things right. Let's face these challenges together, with honesty and compassion. I want to build a future with you, one where our love can flourish without causing harm to others."
As _________ looks into Ciel's eyes, they can see the sincerity and love shining through, a glimmer of hope in the midst of uncertainty. It won't be an easy journey, but perhaps, with their love as their guide, they can find a way to overcome the obstacles that stand in their path.
"Damn, you're more romantic than I thought. Are you really the C I know? Did you get hit somewhere in that head of yours?" ______ jokes, mood being a lot lighter, shaking their head as they smack Sebastian for chuckling.
"I'll trust you, but if you ever try to get eaten early, I won't hesitate to smack your dumbass head. Got it?" ________ says, pointing at the door where Sebastian stands on the other side. "If he tries to eat you early, I will have his head- You hear that Sebs? This is a warning!!" ________ says to the demon butler who only chuckles again in response.
"It'll be difficult, but I have had worse relationships than this." ________ stands before Ciel with a slightly mischievous look in their eyes, as _______ takes his face in her hands and gives him a quick kiss. "You're still a dumbass, but you're also My dumbass"
Ciel's cheeks flush with a mix of surprise and delight as ________ kisses him, their words washing over him like a soothing balm. He can't help but smile, a rare and genuine smile that reaches his eyes.
"You're right, _________. I can be quite the 'dumbass' at times," he admits, his voice filled with warmth and affection. "But I'm glad to be your dumbass, if it means I have your love and trust."
He takes ________'s hands in his own, intertwining their fingers. "I promise, I won't let anything come between us. I'll do my best to navigate this complicated situation, to find a solution that brings happiness to everyone involved. And most importantly, I'll cherish and protect our love with everything I have."
Ciel's eyes meet ________'s, a spark of determination and devotion shining within them. "We may face challenges along the way, but as long as we face them together, I know we can overcome anything. Thank you, ________, for giving me a chance and for being by my side."
With those words, Ciel leans in, capturing ________'s lips in a tender and passionate kiss. In that moment, everything else fades away, and all that matters is the love they share, an unbreakable bond that will guide them through the trials that lie ahead.
Things return to normal, as it was silence wafting between Ciel and _______. _______ remains reserved, quiet, and ever polite in front of others. Grace in their every move, poise in their every step. He wishes they'd smile more, just a little. He misses it already... He scolds himself for that thought, taking a sip of his tea as he tries to somewhat ignore their presence beside him in the study.
Tending to his documents and papers as usual, while ______ awaits for any orders. Sebastian most likely downstairs, scolding the rest of the servants for their inadequacy. Nothing out of the ordinary, he supposed. But, it seems the Queen had other plans, sending her trusted butlers, the Charles duo to him. After brief introductions on the Charles' parts, they show a letter to Ciel from said Queen that asks him to host a banquet and entertain a guest who is coming to visit England. Ciel politely objects, as he does not enjoy social events, but is told he has no choice, because of the matter from the "other day," i.e. regarding the matter with the Noah's Ark Circus. Afterwards, Charles Grey asks to stay and supervise at the time. Ciel tells Sebastian to prepare the invitations and contact Lau and the Undertaker while he's at it
"This is going to be troublesome..."
________ mutters, and Ciel is sure to take note of it. Their words are always quite accurate, _______ never lies to him, but _____ does keep things vague. Perhaps he really should keep an eye out. Especially with Charles Grey around, for some reason he feels the same sense of unease with that butler clad in white. It's odd, but he's sure Sebastian will be able to deal with it... Ciel's eyes flicker towards _________ as he hears them murmur, sensing the unease in their words. He can't help but feel a sense of familiarity with their uneasiness, as if they share the same instinctual warning. He knows he can trust _____'s instincts(?), as _______ has proven themself time and time again.
As the Charles duo presents the letter from the Queen, Ciel's eyebrows furrow in annoyance. He despises such social events, finding them tedious and a waste of time. But the Queen's request leaves him with no choice but to comply. He sighs, his eyes briefly flickering towards _______ as if seeking some reassurance. The mention of the Noah's Ark Circus stirs up a mix of emotions within him, reminding him of the dark secrets and struggles they had faced.
Ciel reluctantly agrees to host the banquet, understanding the importance of maintaining appearances and appeasing the Queen. He instructs Sebastian to make the necessary preparations, including contacting Lau and the Undertaker. The presence of Charles Grey unsettles him, his instincts telling him that there is more to this situation than meets the eye. But he trusts in Sebastian's abilities to handle it accordingly.
"I suppose there's no avoiding this," Ciel murmurs under his breath, his voice laced with resignation. "But we must remain vigilant, ___________. Things may not be as they seem, and I won't allow any harm to befall this household."
He glances at ________, concern etched into his features. Despite their recent hardships, he wants to protect them from any further pain. He hopes that by remaining vigilant, they can navigate through the uncertain waters that lie ahead. And as long as they have each other, he believes they can overcome any challenge that comes their way.
Ciel's voice is filled with a mix of concern and a silent plea for their understanding. He knows the burden he places on them, but he also knows that he can rely on them to support him in times of uncertainty.
