Chapter 1- Cake
Sebastian walks in carting a beautiful cake. Him and James were working on it all day. James is my cook who moved with Myriam and Thomas when I came to stay at the Phantomhive Manor. My cousin is currently in my mansion.
"Oh, it's gorgeous Sebastian!" I say as he places it on the table.
It has three layers of white, strawberry, and lemon. The whole thing is covered in white icing with beautiful blue flowers. On the top was the words, "Happy 17th Birthday Ciel!"
Ciel's brightens as Sebastian lights the candles.
"Make a wish," I say.
"My wish is already beside me," he smiles as he blows out his candles.
Sebastian cuts out a piece of cake and places it in front of Ciel. He smirks and places one in front of me. Sebastian and I have become quite good friends since I chose Ciel. It was like he knew that I would choose Ciel.
"Ciel, come see. This cake even has such detail in the base," I say.
Ciel stands up and peers over at his cake. Then, swiftly, I push it into his face. He stands there in awe. His whole face is covered in cake. He goes and picks up his cake and examines it a bit. Then, he chucks it at me. It hits me dead in the face. Sebastian sighs as he starts slicing the cake into chunks for us to throw.
Finally, there's no more cake. I laugh and walk up to Ciel. He's just an inch taller. I press my lips against his. He joins in. Our lips move in sync. I can taste the icing.
Then, Sebastian coughs. We break up and look at Sebastian.
"You might want to clean, we're supposed to have some guests over soon."
"Whom are we welcoming?" Ciel asks.
"Alois Trancy and Claude Faustus, they say that they have something for us."
I start to back up. My mind starts to flash back all those years. I collapse and scream and cry. I haven't had a relapse like this in forever. Ciel comes over and holds me close. I sob heavily into his chest. The icing on my face begins to wash away. I finally calm down.
"You can stay in your locked room the whole time or you can stay with me?" he offers.
"I want you," I say.
He nods and lifts me up. He carries me bridal style to my bedroom and then to my washroom. He starts to draw me a bath.
"I'll send Myriam in here," he says then he closes the door.
Myriam rushes in moments later. She helps get my day dress off and she undoes my corset.
"Sebastian told me that Claude is coming. Will you be alright?" Myriam asks.
"Yes, I will be at Ciel's side the whole time," I say trying to sound confident.
She eases me into the water and starts to scrub off the cake.
