Under the tree.

They are lying side by side on the grass. Sebastian excused himself a while ago and left them alone with a picnic basket full of sweets.

Lizzy has her eyes closed and Ciel is trying not to think about his latest job or how much he has to do. He tries his hardest to concentrate on how nice it is to be with his fiancé under the shadow of a tree on a summer day.

He fails of course.

Because he is Ciel Phantomhive and he doesn't have time for dates. But Sebastian, the damn bastard, insisted that it would be healthy for both of them to enjoy the summer breeze.

Ciel was sure that he just wanted to avoid seeing the mansion transformed into some dollhouse, so he didn't complain. He was expecting full torture because Lizzy was probably going to talk about dresses and parties but for some strange reason she was quiet.

"Is everything okay?" He asks finally without looking at her. He cannot stand silence for too long, at least not when he's with her because this is Elizabeth Midford and she always has something to say.

"Yeah" she says with her sweet voice and it takes Ciel a while to remember how this girl slayed some zombies a few months ago on a ship "this is nice."

He sighs.

He usually doesn't agree with her but this is a special occasion so he smirks a little before answering.

"Yes, it is." He says.

It takes five seconds for her to break the silence again.

"We should kiss." Elizabeth says suddenly and the moment is lost. Ciel sits down abruptly and looks at her.

"What?!" He asks.

She groans and sits down to look properly at him.

"Does the idea bothers you that much?" She asks and he can see a little blush on her cheeks but he also notices how she is a little upset. He doesn't like to upset her.

"No, of course not."

"Then why do you react like that?" She asks.

Ciel doesn't know how to answer, after all he's just thirteen, and while his worries are not exactly normal for someone of his age he still doesn't hit puberty.

"Forget it" she says while lying down on the grass again "I understand that you don't know how to do it..."

"Who says that I don't know how to do it?" He asks defensively while looking at her.

"You know how to kiss?" She asks with sincere curiosity and he blushes.

"Do you?" He asks and this time she blushes.

"Of course not!" She answers "that's why we should try to learn! It's like one of your games, isn't it? It takes just a little practice."

Ciel gulps.

"We're thirteen." He says.

"We're engaged."

Point taken.

"Fine" he says "sit down."

She obeys and now they're sitting face to face.

They are both nervous and their cheeks are red as tomatoes but Lizzy likes the feeling of anticipation on her stomach and Ciel feels the need to prove that this is nothing out of the ordinary, therefore he can do it. After all they're supposed to get married someday so they might at least kiss once in a while, right?

"Close your eyes." He says and Lizzy closes her eyes.

She feels how he leans closer until their mouths are just inches apart. She counts the seconds and at the count of three Ciel kisses her.

It's sweet she thinks, and she's right, the whole thing is because by the time they shyly move their mouths she can taste the chocolate they ate just a while ago and Ciel is being so careful that she thinks everything about it it's lovely.

Ciel on his side is quite worried because he doesn't know if he's doing it right, he can barely remember seeing his parents kissing so he doesn't have any idea of how it's done. But Lizzy doesn't complain and she tastes like his favorite sweets, and while he feels a little awkward he finds the whole experience a little enjoyable too.

A little bit too soon they pull apart and Lizzy opens her eyes to look at his flustered face.

"So?" He asks a little embarrased with his cheeks on fire.

"I liked it." She says with a smile and hugs him.

Ciel is breathless and he doesn't know whether to blame the hug or the previous kiss.

Sebastian saw everything of course but he will wait until Lady Elizabeth is gone and his young Master is ready to bed to torture him about it.

The end.
