Those Actors, In Love [SebaCiel || AU]

13 || Argument and Eavesdropping

"Answer me, Michaelis!" The booming sound of her voice startled the man in front of her, her fierce features making it harder to believe that she was actually angered.

"How am I supposed to answer you? Do I like Ciel as a friend or as a—"

"As a lover, of course!" Elizabeth interrupts.

Hesitation surged in Sebastian's mind. He wanted to make the whole world know that that special bluenette belongs, or will belong to him soon, but for now he has no confidence to say it. What will they say if he didn't deserve Ciel at all? What if Elizabeth will soon tell Ciel all about she hears from Sebastian and Ciel wouldn't return all those feelings in the ravenette's heart? There are many possibilities, but some of them would only make your back down more.

A moment has passed before Sebastian answered the young girl's difficult question — at least for him.

"Well?" Elizabeth raises an eyebrow with a smirk that clearly suggests a challenge plastered on her face.

"W-Why are you suddenly asking this? It's just random!" Sebastian answers back, displaying a confused and irritated face.

"Because I care for him! Friends do care for each other, right? Just answer me, Sebastian."

The actor pressed his lips into a thin line, making it very pale. He eyed the girl in front of him and sighed. "Fine...I do," he answers softly.

Elizabeth calmed down and was back to her normal composure. But then she glared again at Sebastian. She cared so much for Ciel. They were really close, but not to the point that they could have feelings for each other. She didn't want him to be hurt, physically or emotionally.

"When are you planning to tell him?" Elizabeth asks, her voice containing no emotion.

"I haven't planned it out yet," answers Sebastian, turning away his figure from the girl.

"But before you have all these feelings for him, do you think you're enough for him?"

Sebastian hesitated once again with the same reasons.

"I...I don't know...it's just I know that I love him," he answers without the usual confidence that comes out from his voice.

"Uh-huh. But that's the thing, Sebastian. You love and care for Ciel but are you enough for him?" Elizabeth raises an eyebrow and crosses her arms as she tried to make the ravenette realize something important before being in a relationship with her friend.

"And you just came from a break-up and you think you're ready to love once again? What if you have mistaken Ciel as Mally because of the standards you have? Will Ciel even acce—"

"Stop!" Sebastian yells at her with anger and annoyance clearly visible in his red orbs. Elizabeth was startled by the sudden reaction of the taller man. If Sebastian was a real demon then he would've turned his eyes into those hauntingly beautiful yet cruel magenta orbs already.

"He would accept me, Midford. I know that. I know he would because we treat each other in a special way. I would be persistent in making him see all these emotions I have for him, until he would love me back. Just give me time and be patient, Elizabeth."

There was silence between the two as Elizabeth saw how passionate Sebastian was about his love for her slate-haired friend. She doesn't have a choice, Sebastian would still be feeling the same no matter how many times she try to convince him to stop feeling such an emotion for Ciel. She just doesn't know why, but she feels that they're not supposed to be together, not that she's trying to be a third party in their relationship but she just doesn't feel that this whole thing is right.

"Just...take care of Ciel, Sebastian. I can't stand seeing him broken because of this. I know Ciel and I had only met when Edward held a get-together in his house but we're close friends," she says weakly, letting their story flow and doing nothing about it.

Sebastian smiled at her gently, grateful of her agreement. "Thank you, Elizabeth."

"Yeah, but still," Elizabeth says with hesitation hinted in her small voice, "do your best in that thing you're about to do."

"I will."

A small figure hiding himself behind one of the bushes nearby heard all the conversation by Elizabeth and Sebastian. A gasp escaped his soft lips as he listened to every detail being said by the two, but he kept his volume low.

Ciel requested his father earlier to go back to the shooting place to wait for Sebastian. He tried to find him when he just caught him talking to his female friend. These were all unexpected for him. He knew something was going on with Sebastian and he expected some of this but he didn't know that this will surprise him that much.

All he could feel was confusion and shock. He wasn't confused by how did Sebastian fall for him but it was because of what he's feeling. They were strong and wild, but he had no idea if they were positive, negative, or just pure shock from what he heard since it hit him hard and had a great effect in his emotions and thoughts.

After Elizabeth and Sebastian parted ways, Ciel stood up from the uncomfortable position and rushed to Sebastian. He acted as if he heard nothing.

"Sebastian! Wa..wait!" He runs, trying to catch up with the ravenette. Sebastian turns around to see the slate-haired boy, surprised that he was still in the shooting area.

"What if he heard me and Elizabeth? Shit, it's too early for that! I don't even have any idea on how to confess yet!" Sebastian thinks, unable to process what would happen if his idea really happened.

"Ciel? You're still here?"

"Yeah, obviously," Ciel bends his small body forward with his hands on his knees, breathing quickly. He was easily tired since he wasn't used to exercising.

"For what? Forgot something?" Sebastian asks with full curiosity.

"Yeah, but replace 'something' with 'someone'," was the bluenette's response.

"Who might that be?" Sebastian was sure going to be happy if Ciel answers it was him.

"You," Ciel answers and the taller actor can't help but to smile blissfully, "I...I-I just forgot to say good-bye."

Sebastian grins at the boy and almost cannot stop himself from wrapping Ciel around his arms. The way Ciel stammered in his words somehow gave a clue about him having the same feelings for him, but he was unsure about it. He was just so happy about the fact that Ciel wanted to see him again personally and say his good-bye.
