The One I Love (Ciel Phantomhive x Reader)

Sword Fighting Training

"Sword fighting!?!" Kaija shouts.
"Oh my gosh! You're going to teach us how to sword fight!?!" Grace exclaims, "Yeah!"
"What!?!" Erin says in disbelief.
"Ladies! Behave yourselves! That is no way a lady acts!" Marchioness Midford snaps.

Your friends immediatly shut up, put their arms to their side, and straighten their backs like soldiers.

"Now, I will teach you the basics," She informs, "Elizabeth, hand them their swords."

Elizabeth comes and each hands you guys one, thin, 3 1/2 feet sword. Then she goes and stands by her mom. The sword is heavier then you thought it would be. Grace, Erin, and Kaija seem to think so too.

"Now, I will teach you about posture," Marchioness Midford says.

"You must remember, Keep your stance wide." She spreads her legs a apart and shifts her body to make herself appear larger. "To appear larger and intimidate your opponent. Keep your body lowered." She informs as she plants her feet and lowers herself by slightly bending her knees. "To be more stable and to take less from blows. Now your turn."

You, Grace, Erin, and Kaija all do what Marchioness Midford just did.

"Good. Now some other things to remember are while you are moving, be sure to keep your balance. Maintain a stable posture; right foot plant, left foot plant. While you are fighting, be aware of your surroundings and use them to your advantage. Lastly, keep your eyes on your opponent," The Marchioness says. "Use these tips while you're fighting."
"Who are our opponents?" Kaija asks.
"Why, each other of course," Marchioness Midford replies, "Lady (Y/n) with Lady Grace, and Lady Erin with Lady Kaija."

You guys face your assigned 'opponent' while The Marchioness observes you.

"Now, Keep your stance wide, keep your body lowered. And as your moving forward balance is the key. Right foot, left foot. Now go even faster," She says.

You guys sword fight for about an hour or two with Marchioness Midford teaching you guys.

"That's it for today ladies. You have improved much since the beginning. You are naturals at it, almost as good as Elizabeth. Though, you could work on some things," The Marchioness says. "Lady (Y/n) your technique is unique but you are rather slow. Lady Grace, your moves are powerful but wild and erratic. Please practice your aiming. Lady Erin, you are very talented, with great speed and swiftness, but perhaps a little more strength with your attacks. And lastly Lady Kaija, you attack in the spots resulting in the most damage with great accuracy, but you could work a little on your technique and move away from the basics."

You and your friends nod at Marchioness Midford's report.

Suddenly, there is a knock on the door.

"Come in," The Marchioness says.

Then a servant girl comes into the room and says "A carriage has arrived to return Lord Phantomhive, Lady (Y/n), Lady Grace, Lady Erin, and Lady Kaija back to the Phantomhive Manor."

"Very well. Elizabeth show them where to put their swords away," Marchioness Midford says to Elizabeth.
"Yes mother," Elizabeth replies, "Come on, follow me!"

You guys follow her to a rack holding many swords. Each of you put your swords away then go back by the door.

"Please follow me to the carriage," the servant says.

Everyone follows her out to the front where the carriage is. Ciel, you, and your friends all get into the carriage. You and Ciel were on one side and all three of your friends on the other.

Elizabeth wildly waves 'bye' as the carriage leaves the Midford Mansion.

"That was fun," Kaija says.
"Yeah, now we can kill people we hate," Grace points out.
"Heh, Erin would kill pretty much everybody then," You say.
"Yeah, they're all buttholes," Erin agrees, "But it was so hard to fight in my dress, I couldn't really move and everything kept getting in the way."
"Yeah, I know right? Hey, maybe we should get special dresses for sword fighting. Do you know what I mean?" Grace asks.
"Yes! That would help so much," Kaija agrees. "But who could make them for us?"
"Nina could," Ciel suddenly says.
"Who?" Kaija questions.
"Nina Hopkins. She is the tailor for Elizabeth and I. She makes new outfits for us when we need them. She wouldn't mind. Knowing her, she'd actually be quite fond of you," Ciel answers.
"Really? Thanks Ciel!" You say.
"Hey, maybe while we're at it, we could get customized swords too," Grace suggests.
"Do you know anyone that can do that, Lord Phantomhive?" Kaija asks.
"No, but I can have Sebastian go into town and have the blacksmith make some for you," Ciel replies.
"Oh, thank you again Ciel!" You say.
"You're welcome, my ladies," he says.

The ride back to the manor was really long, even after this conversation. You eventually fell asleep without even knowing it.

You wake up to someone calling your name.

"Y/n,"
"Y/n,"
"Wake up Y/n,"
"Huh, what?" You groggily say.

You open your eyes and your head was in Ciel's lap and his hand was on your hair. You blush because of the position your in.

"Wake up (Y/n), we're back at the manor," Ciel says.

You get up and rub your eyes to get the sleepiness out of them. You look over at your friends who are giving you a devious smirk with raised eyebrows. Your cheeks heat up and you glare back.

Sebastian helps you guys out of the carriage and says, "I have prepared dinner for you. It will be served in the dining room, please follow me."

Once everyone is out of the carriage, you all follow Sebastian to the dining room.
