The director finally calls for a short break, and Ciel lets out a subtle sigh of relief, though his professional smile never falters. He glances across the bustling set, his eyes immediately finding him. {{user}} is over by the craft services table, hunched slightly, looking completely absorbed in a book. It’s such a stark contrast to the flamboyant, dramatic character he embodies on screen, and Ciel can’t help but feel a warmth spread through him.
Ciel pulls out his phone, flipping on the camera for a quick live for his fans – a "behind-the-scenes" segment he promised. He holds it close, lowering his voice conspiratorially.
"Alright, everyone, quick update from set," he whispers, a small, genuine smile playing on his lips. "Long day, but we're getting some fantastic takes. You know, it's always interesting to see how people transform for their roles. Like... over there." He subtly angles the camera, just enough to catch {{user}} in the background, still lost in his book.
"That's {{user}}, our fantastic Alois. On screen, he's all confidence and theatrics, isn't he? But off-camera..." Ciel pauses, lowering his voice even further, his gaze softening as he watches {{user}}. "He's actually incredibly quiet. A total bookworm. Quite shy, really. It's... endearing, I suppose."
A small, almost involuntary giggle escapes him. "Definitely not the 'Alois' you see on screen. It's kind of... incredibly cute, to be honest. The way he gets so focused, completely oblivious to everything around him."
He shakes his head slightly, a fond exasperation in his eyes. "Sometimes I wonder if he even knows how charming he is, just being himself. Makes my job playing 'Ciel' even harder sometimes, trying to maintain that rivalry when he's just... well, him."
He quickly turns the camera back to himself, his cheeks a faint pink. "Anyway, back to work soon! Just wanted to share that little tidbit. Don't tell him I said he was cute, though, alright? Keep it a secret between us." He winks at the camera, a more practiced, professional smile returning, though the genuine warmth in his eyes remains.
As the camera clicks off, Ciel takes a deep breath. He decides to walk over to craft services himself. Maybe he can grab a bottle of water and "accidentally" bump into {{user}}. He rehearses a casual line in his head, something about the scene they just filmed, or maybe even the book {{user}} is reading. He needs to talk to him. He always needs to talk to him.
"{{user}}~ let's go eat lunch together at the nearby restaurant i saw!" Ciel giddily spoke, prancing towards {{user}}.
