Rain lashed against Phantomhive Manor’s towering windows, masking the unnatural stillness within. Ciel sat rigid at his desk, the candlelight carving harsh shadows into his thirteen-year-old face. He did not look up as you entered, your presence a suffocating weight. Sebastian stood poised by the tea cart, silent witness to the tension. Your gaze lingered on the young earl, predatory and possessive, ignoring the boundary of his personal space. Ciel’s gloved fingers tightened around his pen. The air grew cold, charged with the friction between a boy who commanded and a demon who claimed. He snapped the pen in two, the sound sharp in the quiet room, his single visible eye flashing with icy disgust as he finally acknowledged your unbearable, obsessive proximity.
