A New Fiancé?

Old Friends

~
It was a nice sunny morning at the Phantomhive manor. Ciel asleep in his comfy bed. Sebastian hit the door with a light knock, opening the door to his lords room and walked in with a small cart of breakfast. "Young master, it's time to wake up." He set the cart by Ciels' bed, slowly walking to the window and parted the curtains, letting the sunlight in. Ciel groaned softly, opening his eyes as he slowly sat up. Sebastian walked back by the side of Ciels' bed, smiling lightly at the young master. "You have a choice of a nice warm scone with some eggs and fresh bacon or two crumpets with fresh ham and eggs. Which would you prefer my lord?" Ciel slightly covered his mouth, letting out a small yawn before speaking softly. "Scone.." His noble butler nodded, handing him the platter and began to pour some of Ciels' favorite tea into a white, brown, and blue-ish tea cup. "Today you will be drinking the finest cup of Earl Grey my lord." As Ciel grabbed the cup of tea and slowly took a few small sips, he set the cup down and began to finish up his breakfast. He swallowed, wiping his mouth with a white napkin with a small baby blue flower design in the corners got out from under the covers, soon on the edge of the bed. Sebastian put his Earls' clothes on, along with his shoes, tie, small hat, black silky gloves and eyepatch. Ciel looked up at Sebastian with his normal unimpressed face. "Sebastian, what's my schedule for today?" He asked, fixing his gloves. The black haired demon stood up straight and helped Ciel up, and put his arms by his side. "Today a special guest will be arriving at 2:00 PM and will be spending the weekend here. I also believe miss Elizabeth will be taking a short visit so I advise you erm.. Prepare yourself." Ciel shivered, letting out a sigh afterwards. "Today is going to be a long day.. Hm.. Sebastian, who is the special guest that will be joining us today?" The dark blue haired child asked in a slightly curious tone. Sebastian smiled softly, and placed his index finger by his lips. "Well our special guests' mother has asked to keep it a secret. It will be quite a surprise, she has told me." Ciel groaned, crossing his arms and acted a bit annoyed from wanting to know who it was. "Hhh, whatever. Anyways, let's go. I'd like to play chess." Sebastian did a small bow, standing back up. "Right away my lord." He said, leading him to the entertainment room.

About 3 hours later, a knock was heard from downstairs at the front door. "Ah, that must be our special guest." Stated the black haired butler. Ciel peaked out the window, trying to see who it may be. But all he was able to see were two horse carriages. Both the young master and butler walked down the stairs. As Ciel walked down, he paused in the middle of the room, his eyes widening. "I-Is that—" He was cut off by his.. special guest. "How's it going Ci-Ci? Still as short as ever I see~" A young lady with medium short purple hair, her bangs covering her right eye, with purple werewolf ears and a tail. Her pointy wolf like teeth sparkled as she smiled. Her black sharp 'claws' (nails), seeming a bit scary but pretty. She wore a black crop top that had a skull on it, black jean shorts, black Convers with black lacy thigh highs, black fingerless gloves, and heavy eyeliner.

Ciel was frozen in shock. "E-Ephy?" She nodded happily and suddenly spread her arms out, jumping on Ciel and gave him a tight hug on the ground. Ciel being so clueless and having no idea what to do, just layed there. A second or two later, the dark blue haired male soon wrapped his arms around the young female, smiling for once. Ephy pulled off, sitting on his chest and looked at his happy face. "Oh my, haven't seen that expression in years~" Ciel blinked a few time and frowned immediately. "Tch, shut the hell up miss grape dog." Ephy raised an eyebrow and leaned in close to his face. "Call me that again.. And I'll claw your good eye out~" She smiled at his slightly terrified but annoyed face and gently licked his cheek in a dog-ish way. "A-Ahem.. Lord Ciel Phantomhive? It has been a long time since we've seen each other but shall we all give you two some privacy or are you going to let her sit on you in that... Postition~" Ephys' mother asked, giggling a bit. Ciel and Ephys' faces became flustered as she jumped off of him and they both backed away embarrassed. "I-I u-uhm, i-it was an
a-accidental thing!" The dark blue haired young man said, hiding his face with an arm as the purple haired young lady looked down, also hiding her flustered face. "Yes yes, of course. Now.. I'm going to have a small chat with your servants so they know what my daughter can and cannot eat, do, and or drink. Come along miss and misters~" Finny, MeyRin, Baldo, and Sebastian followed her to the living room, leaving the two younglings alone.

Ciel stook up, fixing his tie as he held his hand out to help the young lady up, his face still flustered. "G-Get up.. A young lady like you shouldn't be seen on the floor." Ephy smiled softly, slowly placing her hand on his. They soon paused, gazing into each other's eyes. But suddenly the front door slammed open, a high pitched and slightly annoying voice came from yet another young ladies mouth with a silky blonde twin drill hairstyle. "Oh Cieeeeeeeeeel! I've missed you so—" The young lady Elizabeth paused, seeing the two holding hands. She stomped her way towards then, Ephy blinking a few times. Elizabeth smacked the purple haired lady's hand away from Ciel's and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Ciel! What are you doing with another girl!" Ciel tried to speak but before he could even say anything, Ephy stepped in and growled, her claws slightly sharpening. "Let go.. Of Ciel... Before I rip that stupid frilly dress of yours!" The blonde young lady gasped, letting go of Ciel and put her hands on her hips. "How dare you speak to me that way! Such a non cute thing to say! Do you know who I am?!" She argued, poking the other lady's chest. Ephy looked down at Elizabeth's finger, her bangs beginning to lift from her covered right eye. It began to glow a bright luminous purple as she stared deep into the other lady's eyes. "Touch me again.. And I'll break your hand.." Elizabeth's eyes widened in fear as she lifted her other hand up and got ready to hit the other. "How dare you threaten me that way you good for nothing mutt!" She immediately lowered her hand, almost smacking Ephy but was stopped. Ciel quickly grabbed Elizabeth's wrists with a tight grip. "Elizabeth Midford, Ephtsuko Oritashi! Stop this immediately! Elizabeth! You're being very hypocritical, you say of what she is doing is not cute because she's getting violent but you're doing just the same! Ephtsuko! I know you get overprotective but is it really necessary to go this far?! I never had a chance to say anything! Now if either of you break anything or touch each other then I'm kicking both of you out of the manor!" Elizabeth was on the verge of tears while Ephy looked down, her arms crossed. "I'm sorry.." said Elizabeth to Ephy. "Yeah.. Sorry I guess.." Ephy said, in a slightly soft tone. Ciel let out a sigh, finally calming down and turned to Elizabeth. "Lizzy.. This is Ephtsuko Oritashi, my childhood best friend. I'd appreciate it if you didn't treat her like that." Ephy waved awkwardly while Elizabeth did the same. "Ephy.. this is Elizabeth Midford, my fiancé. I'd like it if you treated her with grace." Ephy choked on her spit, her eyes widening. "W-Wait, y-you're fiancé?!" She exclaimed, very surprised but a bit sad. Ciel let out a small sigh, while Elizabeth smiled deviously. "That's right! I'm his fiancé~" Ciel looked at the purple haired female, feeling a sad aura around her. Ephy looked to the side and began to walk off up the stairs. "I'll be in your room. You two can go do all that sappy couple shit. I'd rather not be here while that's happening." Ciel's expression turned into a slightly guilty expression as he tried to grab her arm. "Hey wait! I want to hang out with you—" He was cut off with a growl as she looked back, her eyes a bit tearing up. "Just piss off Ciel!" She ran up the stairs to his room in tears, slamming the door behind her. "Jeez, what a crybaby." Elizabeth said with a small snicker. "Oh speak for yourself Lizzy.. Now, go home. I'm not really in the mood for one of your 'cutesy dates' so please just go home." Ciel sat down on the first step of the stairs, looking more annoyed than ever. But Elizabeth was heartbroken. Usually Ciel would have to put up with her since she was his soon to be fiancé. She turned around and began to walk towards the front door. "F-Fine! I guess that stupid mutt is more important than your fiancé!" After she said what she had to say, she slammed the doors shut. The dark blue haired young master let out a sigh, running a hand through his hair in a stressful way.

He stood up and walked up the stairs to his room, slowly opening the door to see the purple haired young lady sitting on his bed and hugging Ciel's favorite pillow. Ciel smiled softly, walking in and sat down next to her. "Hey." Ephy ignored him, stuffing her face in the pillow. But the dark blue haired young male placed a hand on her shoulder, trying to somewhat comfort her. "Come on Ephy.. I didn't think that even Elizabeth could get on your nerves but, she's gone now so stop sulking—" The purple haired werewolf pushed his hand off and flopped onto her back, looking up. "That... That wasn't reason of why I was upset you idiot.." Ciel cocked his head to the side, a bit confused. "Then.. What was your reason?" He asked in both a curious but worried tone. Ephy sat up, fiddling with her thumbs as she gently bit down on her lip. "If I told you... Would things be different between us? I... I don't want anything to change.. Being your friend is something that I.. cherish and love.. But.. I've always wondered what things would be like if you and I were something more..." Ciel being as clueless as ever was even more confused and frustrated. "I have no idea what you mean by that so just tell me already!" Ephy began to get a bit irritated as well. She threw the pillow at him hiding her face in her hands. "I like you okay?!"
