Victoria Sponge and Cricket

Cuts and Cake

Chapter 5

Ciel felt as if he was going to throw up for the second time in three days. Was his death going to be Sebastian's price? He wasn't sure, but he suspected that it was the case. However before he confronted the teenage sadist he needed to clear up some anomalies..

"Why wasn't he expelled from school? A month's suspension is very light for a person that attempted to kill someone," Ciel enquired, regaining his composure.

"His parents. The head teacher is terrified of them and was probably too scared to provoke them by expelling their son. Of course, for Mey-Rin's sake there had to be some kind of punishment. Also I believe that his parents donate to the school," Elizabeth informed him.

Ciel couldn't help but smile slightly at her. He had chosen the right person to as ask and she had just saved him from making a huge mistake by accepting Sebastian's offer without knowing the full terms.

"Thank you Lizzie for telling me all of this," he said gratefully.

"That's okay Ciel," she squealed happily. "I'm always willing to help and I brought in some cake for you."

Her head disappeared under the table and she brought out a frilly and pink child's lunchbox. She opened it and passed what resembled an explosion on a napkin to her cousin.

Her cousin eyed it nervously. "What is it supposed to be?"

"Victoria Sponge, silly Ciel! I made it just for you!"

"Yes, silly Ciel, how could you not see? It's obviously a Victoria Sponge," Sebastian's voice made itself known behind Ciel.

Elizabeth squeaked and her face turned to an icy shade of white.

"Hello Lady Elizabeth Midford," he greeted her politely and perched himself on the edge of the edge of Ciel's chair without asking.

"Y-You murderer! Stay away from Ciel!"

Sebastian raised an eyebrow. "I don't want to and I'm not a murderer, my lady."

Elizabeth desperately clutched at the only hope she had to try and make him leave Ciel alone.

"He's my fiancé so stay away from him."

That certainly had an effect on Sebastian. He had researched the Phantomhive family and their connections like the Midfords and had found nothing about an engagement. He deduced that she must be lying to keep him away from Ciel. Well, that wasn't going to work, Ciel was his to play with and break.

"Oh really?" he smile at her and tasted satisfaction in the angry expression on her face that clashed with the pink bow in her hair.

"Yes. It was decided right before... before that incident."

Sebastian turned to Ciel for confirmation. "Is this true?"

Ciel sighed. Everything had become a mess and somehow turned in to a fight between Lizzie and Sebastian over him. He shuffled over in his seat so he wasn't touching Sebastian.

"It is true, but it was never finalised due to what happened right after. The marriage would have been beneficial to both our families, but there is no need for that now," he said quietly.

"So you aren't engaged then," Sebastian said condescendingly to Lizzie who was thinking of other ways to outdo Sebastian when she remembered something from her childhood.

"I-I've kissed Ciel. I have more ownership of him than you!"

At that outburst Sebastian blinked in surprise, unsure of what to say to that. If it was true then she had done more things to Ciel than him. He turned to the boy who was frozen in his seat at his cousin's words and tapped him on the shoulder to confirm or deny the outburst. Ciel shuffled away from him.
