In this, you're a year older than Ciel. (14) and Ciel is 13. Also, in this, Ciel and Elizabeth aren't related.
-----------------CIEL'S POV
"Young Master, why are you so insistent on going into town today?"
"Sebastian, I'm warning, you. Don't ask pointless questions," I replied, glaring at him.
"Of course, Young Master. But, might it have something to do with Lady (Y/n)'s birthday?"
(If Sebastian refers to him as something else, please tell me and I will change it)
"Sebastian, I'm warning you," I growled. He chuckled before we were on our way. He was right though, (Y/n)'s birthday was coming up and I wanted to get her something.
YOUR POV
"Come on, (Y/n)! You need to celebrate! A ball is a perfect way to celebrate your birthday!" Lizzie screeched in my ear, "Please?! Please?! Please?!"
I rolled my eyes, "Fine. We can have a ball, Lizzie. But, you have to organise it."
"Yay! You're the best sister ever!" she squealed hugging me. I patted her back, returning the hug, "Yeah, if you say so, Lizzie."
She then brightened up even more if it was possible, "Maybe I can get Ciel to come!" She then ran off, leaving me in my bedroom alone. I sat on the edge of my bed and sighed.
"My Lady?"
I looked up at the voice, "Paula. I'm fine. Just thinking."
"Are you sure? You seem exasperated."
"Yeah, I'm fine."
"If you say so, My Lady."
I nodded and she left my room, leaving me to think over stuff, "Why? Why is it Lizzie that gets everything?" I was, of course, speaking of Lizzie being betrothed to Ciel. I'd had a crush on him for a while and Lizzie was the one that was going to marry him someday.
"(Y/n)! We're going into town!"
I giggled before leaving my room, all ready to go out into town.
--------------------BACK TO CIEL'S POV
We finally arrived in town and I started searching the stores for a good gift for (Y/n). However, nothing seemed to fit for her. It was about an hour later when I caught sight of a glass shop (This isn't what you may think: No, it's not just a random shop that sells glass. It's one of those places where they have coloured glass. There was one of these in France when I went there with my family before lockdown and Coronavirus and I got this butterfly made from coloured glass) I walked into the shop, being careful not to knock anything over, with it all being glass.
YOUR POV
"(Y/n)! Let's look in there!" Lizzie shouted, grabbing my arm and pointing to a glass shop before dragging me towards it. She dragged me inside and immediately ran off looking at the whole shop. I shook my head before continuing to look around the shop. I soon heard some familiar voices, "I wish it was (Y/n) that I was going to marry in the future."
"Why would that be, Young Master?"
"Sebastian, what did I say about pointless questions?"
"I'm sorry Young Master."
I was shocked at this, but didn't want to make it seem like I was eavesdropping on them so, I continued my search for Lizzie. It was an easy feat as withing two minutes, she had run up to me, "(Y/n)! Can I get this?!" she asked showing me a glass butterfly she had found.
(Just imagine it's pink)
"If you want to, Lizzie. It's your money," I replied. She smiled and walked off to the counter. I followed her and caught up to her once she'd paid for it, "Okay, we can go home now!"
I smiled and we walked out of the shop, back to the carriage, where Paula was waiting for us. We got in and started the ride home.
--------------------
"(Y/n)! Happy birthday!"
"Thank you, Lizzie," I replied, smiling. She handed me a bag and I was confused, "Lizzie, what's this?"
"Your present!"
I smiled, "Thank you," before digging my hand into the bag. I felt something soft in there and I pulled it out to reveal a plushie on a(n) (Favourite Animal). I looked back to Lizzie, "Thank you! It's adorable!"
"You're welcome, (Y/n)!"
"Lady (Y/n), you have a visitor."
I turned towards the door, "Who is it, Paula?"
"It's Lord Phantomhive, My Lady."
I was confused, Why would Ciel want to see me? I nodded to her, "I'll be there in a minute."
"Paula."
"Yes, Lady Elizabeth?"
"Why does Ciel want to see (Y/n)? Are you sure it's not me he wants to see?"
"I'm sure, Lady Elizabeth. He specifically stated he wanted to talk to Lady (Y/n)."
I stood up and patted Lizzie on the head before walking out my bedroom, the plushie still in my hands. I made my way to the hallway where I saw Ciel waiting. I smiled and walked up to him, "How are you, Ciel?"
"Hello, (Y/n). I'm doing great. What about yourself? And how's Elizabeth?"
"I'm doing peachy. Just peachy," I replied gripping the plushie, "And Lizzie's doing well too."
"That's good. (Y/n), may I talk to you, alone?" he responded, glaring at Sebastian, who got the message and walked off. Ciel turned back to me, "(Y/n), can I be honest with you?"
"Of course, you can, Ciel."
"I don't want to marry Elizabeth when we're older."
I was shocked at this, "Why?" Note to self: Don't tell Lizzie this. She'll be upset beyond the point of return.
"There's someone else I want to marry," he continued before looking me in the eye and taking my cheek in his hand, "(Y/n), I love you."
My eyes widened and I remained quiet. Ciel took this the wrong way and removed his hand, "I knew you didn't love me back but Sebastian said to me that if I didn't confess to you, then he'd do it for me."
"Ciel, whoever said that I didn't feel the same?!"
"What?"
"I was just in shock that you loved me back. All these years I've had to keep my feelings to myself because I wanted Lizzie to be happy but, I've learned that I need to stand up for myself. I love you, Ciel Phantomhive."
"May I kiss you?"
I nodded and he leaned in, kissing me. I responded to the situation and wrapped my arms around his neck.
"(Y/n)! What are you doing?!"
We broke off at the sound of Lizzie's voice to see her with tears in her eyes, "Ciel's mine!"
I immediately felt tears in my eyes and ran off back to my room, ignoring Ciel's shouts for me to come back. Why does Lizzie have to ruin everything for me?! It's my birthday! Why can't at least something go right for me?! I flopped on my bed and cried my eyes out.
------------------
"(Y/n)? Can I come in?"
"What do you want, Elizabeth?!" I retorted through the closed door.
"I want to talk to you."
"Why?! You've already ruined my life, what else do you want to do to hurt me?!"
"(Y/n), I'm sorry. Y-You can have Ciel if you want him."
"Lizzie, it's fine. I know you're already betrothed and there's nothing I can do about it. You have him. I'll find someone else to love."
"(Y/n), you can have him! I already know that he doesn't love me so you have him! He loves you and you love him so you have him! I'm sorry! I'm so sorry for treating you like a servant all the time! You're my sister and I love you. I'm sorry!"
I stood up and walked over, unlocking the door to see Lizzie there, tears in her eyes, "Do you really mean it, Lizzie?"
"Yes, you can have Ciel. I've taken everything from you. The least I can do is give you Ciel." I smiled and hugged her, "Thank you."
"(Y/n)?" I broke off from the hug at the voice.
"Can I talk to you please?"
I nodded and walked to Ciel. When I did, he kissed me, "I love you."
"I love you too, Ciel."
