(
Mary, Mary quite contrary how does your garden grow? )
It's rare he gets a free moment and usually it's filled with something important. Studying. Taking pictures. Writing letters to the newspaper. Today, though, he's on his own, and he decided to go pay a visit to Ciel. Ciel never seems to leave the house after all, so he's pretty sure he'll meet his friend inside.
Ritsuka is dressed for the warm weather in the shorts and hoodie he arrived back in Siren's Port with. It's nice to have a few new clothes from his world, soft things that make him feel free and breezy when he wears them.
Thinking he hears someone in the bushes, the catboy is distracted, looking around. That's when he trips over the boxes of bulbs and goes stumbling.]
Waa--!

And in a one in a million chance, their lips meet.]

F-finny?!

Finally, a trembling hand comes up to trace his bottom lip. A red flush takes over his cheeks, and the words that finally come out are barely above a squeak.]
... R-Ritsuka... you...

It was an accident!

I... I kissed you. I kissed a boy...

[Oh great, he just stole Finnian's first kiss. He's as bad as Soubi.]

[His words hang in the air. The 'and I wish it hadn't happened so fast' remains unsaid.]

[He looks away shyly.]
... I do like you, Ritsuka.

Y-you do? Why?!

[He looks up with a small smile.]
I'm happy you were my first kiss.

[Maybe it's the hazy warmth of summer, maybe it's Finny's sincere expression, or just his own changing feelings and hormones, but--]
You can't tell anyone, okay? It's not because it's a big deal or anything, but you can't tell Ciel or anyone else.
[And Ritsuka gently tips Finny's chin and plants a soft kiss on his lips.
It's different. Different than how he imagines it might be with Riku, different than how it is with Soubi, that crackle of magical connection between them.
Finny smells like flowers and the earth. It's nice.]

Dumbfounded and embarrassed, Ciel couldn't manage a word, simply staring, before he moved to walk away. Just what was it with his servants and deviance like this?!
Then again...he wasn't exactly one to talk either.]
