     “ Happy Birthday !!! “ 

[angeluseius]

Ciel:

pale, unblemished cheeks grow pink in hue as his fiance proclaims such STRONG feelings so freely. he feels the expectation to reply in the same magnitude, but he doesn’t. still, he offers a smile.

    ❛ yes. of…. of course. ❜

   she knows he isn’t quite there yet with the declarations of love she desires, so she chooses to focus instead on the color blossoming on his cheeks that mean he must be feeling something. something on the edge of being romantic and lovey-dovey, perhaps? 

              “ so was there a reason you had grapefruits around today ?? “ 

[angeluseius]

Ciel:

   ❛ yes, just tea and a croissant, if you would. ❜

  it’s almost EMBARRASSING that he so often dwells inside the   bakery that one of the employees has his order committed to   memory. then again, it is always the same girl working whenever   he comes around….

  ❛ and good morning to you, as well, elizabeth. ❜

     pleased that she’d made the right choice, she lifted the plate, pushing it in front of him gently along with a teacup. 

         elizabeth had a thing about becoming friends with the regulars, she liked making their visits as easy as possible because she would be seeing them often !! maybe that was why she had already memorized his order (or perchance something more ). 

  she laughed, a teasing smile jumping on her face. 

         “ silly goose, i told you, call me lizzie !! “

Ciel:

  ❛ alright, alright. ❜

with such enthusiasm present in her voice, ciel can hardly think to deny  her request. not that he minds– he does truly enjoy a bit of grapefruit to accompany his breakfast from time to time, after all.

 ❛ thank you, elizabeth. ❜

    a feeling of satisfaction fills her, even though she didn’t actually prepare this, and if anything she’s just providing him his own food, she just feels warm at the thought that he’ll be consuming something she offers. 

             “ of course !! i want to share everything that’s lovely with you !!  “

    oops- was that too bold of her to say? 

[angeluseius]

             a smile lit up her face, enthralled by the return of a customer ( who with his frequent presence seemed to be implying he would be becoming a regular ). honestly, if he hadn’t come back today, it would have been a little sad, considering she already had his plate prepped for him. 

       “ good morning, ciel !! the usual, yes? “

                    ( honestly, she was already getting out the tea and reaching for the croissant. )

Ciel:

   ❛ i never claimed to like it, ❜ he chuckles. ❛ try it with sugar. it’s not so bad. ❜

hands venture towards the sugar jar, grasping onto the small spoon and sprinkling the sweet substance onto the rejected slice of fruit. he didn’t fancy it much it plain either, but quite liked the combination of different flavours when sugar was drizzled atop it.

   appeased by his laughter she settles, following his movements before letting her eyes linger on the crystals slowly being absorbed by the grapefruit. hesitant but still willing to trust him, the altered fruit is lifted yet again, mouth closing around the fruit hopefully. 

     a happy expression blossoms on her face, gazing towards the other with a content smile. 

     “ you’re right !! it’s much better when it’s sweeter- “ 

   she reaches to cover a separate slice, directing it towards him with the same smile. 

                          “ have one too, ciel ! “ 

[angeluseius]

Ciel:

            ‘ i’ve already had it before. ’  

          AMUSEMENT IS EVANESCENT; it isn’t long before the childish accent in ciel’s demeanor vanishes altogether. the fleeting moments of a childhood STOLEN away from him so scarcely show themselves in the little earl to begin with, and once brought to his attention, ciel always reverts back into his typical stony disposition. .

            ‘ so it’s more sensible for you to eat it, not me. ’  

    cautious but trusting, earnest eyes glance at him once again before lifting the speared fruit towards her lips. somewhat dismayed by his return to seriousness, she nudges the fruit quickly into her mouth, ( perhaps at some attempt of appeasing him ) , face already wrinkled with the anticipation of something sour hitting her tongue. 

         she swallows, staring towards him with a growing pout on her lips. 

   “ i don’t understand how you could like this sort of thing, it’s far too sour !! “

[angeluseius]

Ciel:

                                           “ ah, how RUDE of me. i’ll have sebastian bring out                                                                                something more suited to your palate.  ”

              SO OFTEN IS he callous, mature beyond his years. so often does      he catch a glimpse of fretful emerald eyes peering at him, wistfully conjuring      up a future of which she knows not of its impossibility. 

              YET TODAY, HE  is a touch kittenish. he engages in a childish      game of bait; luring her into trying the fruit with a dare unspoken, yet       received loud and clear.

  eyes widened, stubborn girl surprised by how easily her fiance was letting it drop. suddenly more intrigued, she glanced at him for a second before peering down at the fruit yet again. 

      “ wait i-- ” 

   her fork spears a slice, extending out towards him, an innocent blink accompanied by a barely noticeable mischievous curl of a lip. 

              “ i’ll have it, i just want you to try it first !! “

       two can play the engaging game and if the prize is seeing his face after he has something sour, she certainly wouldn’t be opposed to the sight. 

[angeluseius]

Ciel :

@angeluseius ❤’d a starter call!!

                                             “ grapefruits are indeed sour. it’s common practice to                                                                     sprinkle sugar on them to lessen the IMPACT. will                                                                                           that make you more eager to try it? ”

              PERHAPS NOT THE  most romantic of gestures, he thought in        retrospect as he revealed a most mundane present to the lady before him:       a ruby red grapefruit, sliced to perfection. but it was the minute moments        of their time together that he held in the highest regard– ciel was never       big on sentimentalism. or perhaps he was– but like all things, if it had        been so, it had changed long ago. 

       lips extended into a pout, hands clasping together with childlike passion. if he really wanted her to, of course she wouldn’t deny his request, but she disliked extremely sour foods, more than just a little bit. he himself should understand, what with that sweet tooth of his !! 

              she pushed herself forward in her seat, straightening her back to keep up her posture. 

         “ i’ll only have one if you do first and you say it’s ok- “

  part of her doesn’t want to have it at all, and yet.. part of her is intrigued by the fact that he actually seems to want her to have it. are they actually.. good?
