"Hestia?" Ciel looked up from his book in his designated corner in the library. Hearing a distant questioning reply coming from another spot in the library and the tell-tale sings of footsteps he took that as his sign for continue his question.
"Did you hear the footsteps last night?" He speaks lowly using his book as a shield from prying eyes as he mouthed the last words watching her expression carefully.
The past weeks he that had been tragically roomed with her he started to notice and read her tells- it took quite a while but he had a vague understanding on her as a person. Meaning that he could most likely tell when she was lying.
Like now.
"What do you mean cece? What footsteps?" The said girl whispers back sliding into the cushioned seat next to him.
Ciel has the urge to roll his eyes at the blatant-to him- lie. "I don't know, every night I hear these like these heavy thumping noises coming from the hallway just outside our room."
Hestia returns her gaze to her book -suspiciously might ciel add- "Well, it could just be the nuns making their nightly rounds."
She notices ciel's annoyed expression, taking it for a worried one instead, leaning over and kissing his cheek. "Don't worry, I sleep closer to the door, if anything something's more bound to get me than you."
Something inside ciel, if you diga little deeper seemed to have been touched by her words. This stupid girls blind faith to him seems to have touched him. He didn't know whether to be appalled by such a statement or impressed. Not that he'll ever admit that out loud.

"Hestia?" Ciel calls out for the second time that day. This time they were actually in their shared room. "Yes?" She drawls out from the watercloset.
"Why do you like me?" He asks truthfully, only wanting to receive the truth in return. "Hmm, let's see," She starts off pausing while she walking to their room. "Your beautiful, smart- don't deny it I've seen you in history-" Not that ciel was ever going to deny that last statement anyway.
"-Your truthful, and are known by now for being able to notoriously knock me down a few Pegs," True, he'll tell you what you need to hear- unless of course he benefits from doing the opposite. Sitting next to him on his bed she pats his leg underneath the nightgown.
"I honestly enjoy spending time with you, hell I could be on the brink of death and I'll still have a good time with you around." She speaks again. Her voice becoming slightly flirtatious.
"Now," She turned to face him fully. "Show me those pretty teeth while I do your makeup." And just like that, fun times were over.

Hey! Yeah I know it's been a while. Sorry. Was kinda procrastinating. Lowkey gonna use that gif twiceʅʕ•ᴥ•ʔʃ Deal with it.
Sorry the chapters so short, this is high key turning into a short ass book and I'm here for it. Shorter chapters means quicker updates.
Ok imma start doing these at the end of the chapters.
FEELINGS UPDATE:
Ciel(Cecilia) ;
Lowkey catching feelings VERY SLOWLY Still convincing himself that she's just a pawn. Lol not really working deep down in the dark trench he calls a heart. Don't tell him I said that. Snitches get stitches.
Hestia ;
Caught halfway feelings, though it just seems like she likes him for his looks, even though she likes him a bit more than she herself is willing to admit. Trying to convince herself that he's just a fun little chew toy.
