but, shut up.

[ex_apricots766]

Wow! I am not a pest!

At least, I'm not running everyone off.

[ Alois... ]

Sh-shut up about it.

Brother's the opposite of a pest!

[ex_apricots766]

[ YES come here you bug ]

Have you come to defend my honor?

[wishgrant]

I'm your knight! It's my job!

[ex_apricots766]

You're the best one I know of.

[eyecontract]

The word is fitting.

[ex_apricots766]

Though, no one asked you for your shit opinion, I am going to take the high-road, Ciel Phantomhive, and forgive you for being cruel to me.

[eyecontract]

If you're going to tell such an obvious lie, you should expect to be corrected.

[ex_apricots766]

I haven't lied about anything!

It's great to see this muse, btw!

[eyecontract]

You know, it was a surprise to see you here, especially alone. [Ciel too closely connects him with his demon butler.]

i'm glad if you're happy with it! ;w;

[ex_apricots766]

[ With good reason, considering how terribly dependent he is on Claude. The remark does make him falter. Seems Ciel's pricked a nerve. Isn't alone an ugly word? Though he feels hot, he reins his temper, and nearly mentions the equal strangeness of not seeing Sebastian. Where was that disgusting, obsessed leech anyway?

Instead, since Ciel's made him uncomfortable, he tries to retaliate by returning the sensation. From looking wounded to appearing self-assured, lidding eyelashes half way, he says, ]

Why, Ciel, are you pleased to have me alone?

:) I am!

[eyecontract]

[It works. Predictably. Maybe he feels more relaxed because Alois is just as alone as Ciel is and he's confident in his ability to take him out if there was no demon butler there to get in the way - Sebastian could handle Claude, Ciel sadly couldn't.

So, there's a frown and a twitch before he recovers and tries to turn away as haughtily as possible.]

I'm never happy to see you.

[ex_apricots766]

Don't be like that.

[eyecontract]

As long as you're like that, it can't be helped.

[ex_apricots766]

Where's your sense of youth, Ciel? You're like a stuffy old man.

[eyecontract]

I don't want to hear that from an immature brat.

[notmeanttobe]

What an uncomfortable situation! What if you are running everyone off?

[ex_apricots766]

[ Let's be honest: he believes it. That's all the more reason to cover his insecurity up, though. ]

They don't appreciate a good thing when they see it. That isn't my fault.
