Chapter 3 - The day before the incident

Selene was sitting under the shade of the Acacia tree when she and Ciel usually meet. She arranged a picnic style tea party for just the two of them. She smiled when she felt Ciel's hand covering her eyes. "Guess who?"

She giggled. "Ciel, you can't fool me."

'I have something for you' that's what Ciel's eyes is saying.

Then a crown flower landed on her head.

"Flowers make my mom smile. I hope it does the same to you." What he said melted her heart.

"Don't you think your masters will look for you?", Selene was too embarrassed so changing the topic would be a wise move.

"No, they won't. They don't even know I am here." He said while smiling reassuringly to her. He stand up and grabbed her hand. "Hey, let's go somewhere fun!" His smile is bedazzling and hypnotic that she can't say no. Selene also have a class to attend to. A class to be a proper lady. But that can wait.

Ciel lead her to a tree house in not so deep part of the forest that belonged to Leviathan household. There he showed her his collections and sketches of different part of Leviathan household that few seems to reach.

"There's none in this household that I wasn't able to reach." Ciel boasted.

What caught her eye is a stone that sparkles. When Selene is about to hold it, Ciel was panting and reached it first. "This is nothing." He smiled. "But you are always free to go here whenever you visit our.. I mean, Leviathan's household."

Selene hugged Ciel's back feeling his warmth and giving him warmth. This feels home. Ciel held her hand and pressed it gently. "If only I am a legitimate son of this household, I don't have to sneak in." Her voice croaked as if in pain. His eyes looks like he is about to cry.
