[faking]

You're being sweet. Is that really what it is?

[littlest_lord]

Would I be red if it wasn't?

[faking]

It could be a... distressed sort of red. Oh, Ciel. You're stricken by lust, for true? [An earnest lean.]

[littlest_lord]

L-Lust? When you phrase it like that you make it sound so lewd!

[faking]

I don't mind! [sparkle]

[littlest_lord]

_{[Just...this face.]}

[faking]

Really. Really! Ciel, don't worry so much about lewdness all the time. I am a little lewd, but surely it's not that terrible. Anyway, I like it.

[littlest_lord]

You do?

[faking]

Yes. Is being lewd really so different from desiring something? And would you think I'd hate being wanted?

[littlest_lord]

No, I suppose you wouldn't.

[faking]

So why so shy? [She punctuates that with a fingertip to Ciel's nose.]

[littlest_lord]

Ladies make me nervous at times.

[faking]

But it's me. It's me! [She does look a little distressed.]

[littlest_lord]

I know it's you, I'm rather aware of that.

[faking]

So even if I am a lady - [And her eyelashes flutter for good measure.] - or whatever, at this point - am I someone who hasn't ever held your hand before? Am I someone you've never kissed before? Am I someone who's never shared your tea and baths and bed? Am I a lady, or am I me?

[littlest_lord]

_{[Ugh why do you have to put it like that?]}

You're you, you're you.

[faking]

[And, of course...]

And am I really that much less lovely when I'm normal?

[littlest_lord]

_{[Oh, he knew that was coming...]} No, that isn't the case at all. It's just different.

[faking]

[Alois gives a pout with even poutier lips, and taps one finger to her cheek in gesture.] Then?

[littlest_lord]

_{[There's a little sigh before, after a moment of hesitation, Ciel leans in to press a kiss to Alois' cheek.]}

[faking]

[Then she taps the other cheek.] And this one.

[littlest_lord]

_{[And dutifully, he evens out the kisses by pressing one to Alois' other cheek.]}

[faking]

Did that really feel so different?

[littlest_lord]

No, I suppose not.

[faking]

Though - lovely or not - I don't want to be this way forever... Ciel, there's a lot you'd be surprised about.
