The dynamic of Ciel and Lizzy is literally this.
Ciel: I don't want Lizzy to be a part of my life, don't want her to get hurt. Sebastian: Then you should let her go, my Lord. Ciel: No. Sebastian: ... Ciel: ... Sebastian: My Lord... Ciel: No.
Ciel: (confidently) I definitely don't have romantic feelings for Elizabeth. Also Ciel: I could never hate you. And if you had asked me to rip out my heart, I would have done it, because IT'S MY DUTY TO FULFILL THE WISHES OF THE BRIDE OF MY DEAD BROTHER, WHOM I PRETEND TO BE. MY DUTY!
Lizzy: (happily) Ciel, can we dance? Ciel: (imagining them dancing like Beauty and the Beast) I'm busy.
