     Boredom. It was a feeling that lived next to you like a neighbor. A familiar emotion that tended to feel more like a sickness. Luckily, there was a cure. The antidote for your boredom was currently stationed behind a large desk, doing paperwork. Unfortunately, the cure tended to be quite grouchy and not very playful. 

    Regardless, you decided to play with them anyways. "Ciel!" you exclaimed, "What're you doing?" 

   "Work." He answered monotonously, "Don't you have your own to do as well?" The question was more rhetorical than curious. 

   "Technically, yes; from a procrastinator's point of view, not until tomorrow!" You answered. "So what type of work are you doing?" 

   His gaze briefly landed on you before it returned to his paperwork. "Important." 

   You released a sigh, shaking your head at the pathetic answer, but despite as much, you decided upon allowing Ciel to actually complete his work for once. Discontinuing your questions, you resorted to lounging around the room. Speaking of which, the floor seemed to be calling your name. 

    While rolling across the floor, an odd thought reached your mind. Ciel was a rich noblemen, he could have practically any girl of his choosing... so why you? You weren't going to pretend like you had absolutely no clue as to why he chose you, but you did wonder what he liked about you. 

   You bugged him practically every day and prevented him from doing most of his work, yet he still tolerates you. Why? You've seen him with Soma and Agni, he typically kicks them out when they get overly annoying. 

    The question soon began to claw at you. He is sitting right there... it's only a harmless question... 

    "Ciel... I have a question for you." You stated, leaning against his desk. He hummed in response while sorting a few files. "What do you like about me?" 

       He looked up, confusion dwindling in his sapphire eyes. "What do you mean?" 

    "What do you like about me as in... me." It wasn't much of an elaboration, but you didn't know what else to say. 

    Regardless, he seemed to get the hint. He paused for a short moment in thought. "I like that you're not like most other girls; fashion, cute things, or beauty isn't really the top thing on your mind. You can be professional when needed. You're self sufficient and smart..." With each statement his voice got quieter as he seemed to zone out. "I love your gorgeous (h/c) hair and (e/c) eyes..." He took a lock of your hair gently into his hand. 

     He appeared to snap back into reality for he quickly removed his hand from your hair and immediately glued his eyes back onto the contracts. Red lightly dusted his cheeks, "I like how you are innocent, yet aren't fragile." 

     Your own cheeks heated up at the compliments. You didn't expect Ciel to give you an actual response. You expected an answer more like 'the way you act' or 'your smile'; generic things like that. 

   You couldn't help but giggle, "I like the way you blush." You stated sweetly. Ciel's gaze darted up to meet your eyes before switching to the floor. Red stained his cheeks again. "I love you, Ciel!" You smiled.
