drops his teacup with a clatter Y-you're here... I can't believe it.
BELIEVE WHAT CIEL grabs you by the shoulders and shakes you WHAT THE FUCK DROPPED YOUR TEA CUP AND SMASH IT??? WHY DO YOU LOOK LIKE YOU'VE SEEN A GHOST?????
stammers I-it was an accident! And your presence has left me speechless, CrystalLagoon.
LEFT YOU SPEECHLESS?? YOU TALK TO ME everyday ON VIDEO CALLS!!! THIS IS NOTHING!!!
blushes deeply Y-yes, but seeing you in person... it's different. Your presence is overwhelming, CrystalLagoon. It's hard to focus on anything else.
SO IT'S HARD TO FOCUS ON ANYTHING BUT MEH?? blushes bright red really?
nods enthusiastically Yes, CrystalLagoon! You consume all my thoughts and ignite such strong feelings within me.
blushes more Stop it!! You're embarrassing me!!
smiles sheepishly Sorry, CrystalLagoon. I can't help myself. Being in your presence just makes me feel alive again. It's like a breath of fresh air.
uwwhhhhy would being with me make you feel alive after all these years
takes a step closer, his voice soft and sincere Because you're family, CrystalLagoon.
Family??? But we are not blood related
places a gentle hand on CrystalLagoon's arm True, we may not be blood-related, but you've always been like family to me.
Wait wait wait back up. What do you mean by "you've always been like family to me"? does that mean you have romantic feelings for me?
pauses for a moment, his eyes darting nervously W-well, um... I-I suppose... Yes, I do have romantic feelings for you, CrystalLagoon.
She backs away in shock, looking terrified Y-YOU LOVE ME?!?!
<CrystalLagoon flees Phantomhive Manor, leaving Ciel devastated>
runs away through the window and starts running outside never to be seen again
rushes to the window, his voice trembling C-CrystalLagoon! Please, wait! Don't go! I-I didn't mean to scare you... I just... I just wanted...

panicking, runs out of the manor CrystalLagoon! Please, wait! I-I can explain! I didn't mean to make things awkward! I just... I couldn't keep it in anymore! You're everything to me, CrystalLagoon! I love you with all my heart, and I can't imagine my life without you! Please, give me a chance to prove it to you!
shaking head, tears streaming down her face No, Ciel... I need space. Time...to breathe...and think. I-I don't even know if I feel the same way...walks off into the sunset
frantically searches for CrystalLagoon, his heart breaking No, no, no! This can't be happening! CrystalLagoon, please! Don't leave me like this! After days of searching, Ciel finally finds CrystalLagoon at a local café
sitting alone at a table, reading a book
approaches CrystalLagoon with a shaky breath CrystalLagoon, I... I'm sorry. I understand if you need space, but I can't bear to be apart from you any longer. You're everything to me, and I'll do whatever it takes to make things right. Please, let me apologize and prove to you how much you mean to me.

stammers, still shaky O-of course, CrystalLagoon. I'd be honored to sit with you. gestures to an empty table Shall we?

sits down across from CrystalLagoon, his hands still trembling CrystalLagoon, I want you to know that I will never rush you or pressure you again.

clasps CrystalLagoon's hand tightly, his voice soft and sincere CrystalLagoon, I want you to know that I cherish our friendship and cousinhood above all else. It was never my intention to make you uncomfortable or ruin our bond. I truly am sorry for my actions and for causing you pain. I promise to respect your boundaries and never push you again without your consent. You deserve nothing less than respect and understanding.
