"How long will I be staying, then?"

Mid December, 1889
[Your PoV]
I had surely missed Ciel's birthday. Nowadays, I often questioned myself. Would I go back? Maybe. Should I go back? I dunno. Do I want to go back? Yes...? But... do I want to leave here?
I'm not so sure myself.
Alois has been... a good master, in the time I've known him. I-in my opinion, of course!
Although, he'd be a fantastic master if only 'love' was labeled as 'seduction'.
Of course I missed being at the Phantomhive Mansion, but there was something here I was oddly attracted to. I wanted to stay here. But... one part of my brain was screaming for me to go back. I'm not sure why I ignored it.
"(Y/N), we're going out!"
I replied with a meek, "Okay!"
Out on the town, he meant. It was never a date, since Claude was there. To be honest, if I could, I would ship him and Claude, or maybe Ciel. Then again, I partially shipped Ciel and Sebastian when I was back at the Phantomhive Manor.
.・.・.・.・.・.・.・.
"Pardon me, Earl Trancy, but I have to go to the ladies room." I said with a slight cough.
He nodded.
I rushed off to the ladies room, and opened the door.
"(Y/N)?"
I jumped, pulled out a pocket knife and went into battle stance at the sound of the voice.
"Eek!"
Oh, fuck. I blinked. Lady Elizabeth stood there, quite frightened at the scene I'd caused. I let out a yelp and started bowing frantically, apologizing over and over while she sweat dropped.
"(Y/N), it's fine you didn't know..." she trailed off. Then her face contorted into that of anger.
She started exploding on me. "Where have you been all this time?!"
She listed off all the things I'd caused; worry, anger, sadness, panic, stress, et cetera.
"You had Ciel and me worried half to death! All the servants missed you, and we even had Grell search!" Lizzy complained.
She continued, now shouting. "The mansion was chaos! Pluto went wild, and I swear to the queen that the only normal one there was Tanaka!" At this point, almost everyone was watching us.
She said some other stuff too. To be honest, deep, deep, deeeeep down inside I felt bad, but... I enjoyed being in Alois' company. Even if he did have booty-shorts.
"-You even made Finnian cry!" She finished.
Shit. That was the borderline. She pouted angrily and engulfed me in a hug, sobbing about how she missed me.
