♚ Thirty-Fourth Move - {Video}

[faustianphantom]

[Ciel is sitting at his desk, writing in long fluid strokes. While he does look better, there is something...off about him. Perhaps it's the way he's shifting in his seat or perhaps it has something to do with the tight, angry expression on his face. Whatever it is, the Earl is unnerved.

Finally, he puts down his pen and struggles to stand up. Grimacing, he grips the desk and struggles to steady his breathing - which is suddenly becoming shallower and shallower. Tipping sideways, he falls to his knees and curls into a small ball.

His entire body is trembling and, though it is barely audible, it seems like he is whispering "Not again" over and over again.]

It's not the same. [He mutters, forcing himself to look up. A moment later, he scrambles back into his chair and bites back a hiss of pain.] I'm free.

[Glaring, Ciel reaches across the desk and pulls the recorder closer.]

What is causing this?

See? That wasn't difficult at all. We'll get you niiiiiiiiice and cozy.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

I'm far too uncomfortable to feel cozy.

More tea.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

And that will solve everything, I suppose?

...[He snorts.]

Why do you want me to feel better?

[sparkling-by.livejournal.com]

What kind of question is that? Any valued patron has to be taken care of.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

I didn't realize I was a patron.

Well, Mr. Phantomdwarf, it wouldn't be the first thing you haven't -

[sparkling-by.livejournal.com]

My, my. It's not the time for that, is it.

[sparkling-by.livejournal.com]

Here you go, Mr. Phantomdwarf! Your very own golden star of patronage!

Daddy chose the textured pattern version for you, so it should go really well with your fancy ties. When you print it out and cut it out of paper. Ahem.

The first thing I haven't what exactly?

I've done nothing to earn this. A patron is someone who offers funds to an organization or person. I have done no such thing.

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

Daddy?

This is all that he registered T_T

[sparkling-by.livejournal.com]

You... don't... want...

Oh Tamaki. XD

[queens-guarddog.livejournal.com]

I have no use for one.

[sparkling-by.livejournal.com]

...oh.



It's all right. Daddy isn't crying. It's all right. That's not a tear. It's all right. It's not a single tear. It's all right. It's not a single tear of blood, death and destruction, it's all riiiiiiiight.
