Dear Ciel

Chapter eight;

        I woke up the next morning. A little surprised that William hasn't woken me up, considering it's almost nine in the morning. I drag myself out of bed and walk out of the room. I tip toe through the halls, making sure I don't wake anyone who may be sleeping. But, it seems everyone is already awake. I see the servants joking to one another and Madam Red sipping on red wine. Red wine in the morning? I look over to see William, well, being William. He is a wallflower. I don't see Ciel though.

        I walk down the grand stairs and greet everyone, I then walk outside. He must be packing, I did say we would be leaving early. But, I din't anticipate on sleeping in so late. I see Ciel, by a couple boxes. 

        I'm taken back by what he is wearing. A pair of pajama shorts, an old shirt, and he is barefoot. And, for some reason, he has a bandana wrapped around his forehead. From the few times I saw him, he always dressed so formal. I don't know he dresses so formal though, he doesn't get paid alot. I do remember him saying Madam Red has a nephew his age so, it might be his handy downs. I don't see the reason to dress so formal either way. 

        I walk up behind him. As soon as I did, he jumps from being startled.

 ''You didn't have to sneak up behind me.'' He mumbles, angrily.

 ''I didn't mean too. And, what's with that get up?''

 ''What get up? These are my pajamas. I started packing early because, a certain someone said we'd be leaving early.''

 ''I didn't mean to over sleep. My apologies.''

 ''Doesn't matter, carry these boxes to the carriage.''

 ''Okay.''

        He is not a morning person I can see. I carry the boxes into the carriage so, I don't anger him any more. One o the boxes fall over and his belongings fall out of it. I get down on my knees and start to put it all back, when something catches my eye. A locket.

        I open it up and see two people, I assume they are his parents.The picture on the left is a beautiful young woman and on the right is a charming young man. They're almost the definition of perfect. 

        I put the locket back and put the boxes in the carriage.

        I wonder what kind of people Ciel's parents were like? I wouldn't ask him, that would be insensitive. My curiosity still lingers though.

        I walk back to Ciel and he is already dressed and ready. Unlike myself. I should get dress, I plan on leaving soon. 

 ''I'm going to get dressed, then we may leave.'' I inform him.

        I walk into my room and get dressed and ready. My usual black attire. I walk down into the dining room, where everyone seems to be. 

 ''We should have a ball, yes we should!'' I hear Meyrin yell.

 ''Yes! A ball!'' Finny yells.

 ''Who needs a ball?'' Bard complains.

 ''Sounds like fun, says Emily.'' Snake says.

 ''That says it! A ball we shall have! Our last night with my dearest Ceil!'' Madam Red says,while pinching Ciel's cheeks.

 ''A ball is not necessary. We are leaving today, anyhow.'' Ciel says. 

 ''No, a ball is plenty necessary! You three can stay one more night!'' Madam Red declares.

         Ciel simply sighs, giving in a fight he already knew he was going to loose. That is why I didn't bother arguing from the start.

 ''That means we should all get dressed up!'' Madam Red yells. 

 ''No, what we are wearing are fine. A ball is already enough alone. No need to go over the top, you just had a ball last night.'' Ciel sighs.

 ''Come on! This ball will just be us. I'll have Meyrin get you ready, Ciel. And,Finny and Snake can get Sebastian ready! Since, it's about eleven now, we must hurry if we want the ball by six. Bard, make some food suited for a small ball, Meyrin, put some decorations up, Finny and snake go into town and buy Ciel and Sebastian lovely clothing for tonight.''

 ''Yes, ma'am!'' They all yell, before doing as they were told.  

        

        Five o'clock came faster than expected. I'm currently getting lecture by Finny about how to dress charming, while Snake sits there. Of coarse, I am left with the most eccentric of the bunch. 

 ''You see, this will look ever so great on you!'' Finny exclaims.

        I behold my eyes on what I regret seeing. It looks like a butler suit.

 ''A butler suit?'' I ask.

 ''Why, yes! Butler suits are very handsome these days.'' Finny says.

         A butler suit, handsome? How could that be possible. 

 ''Isn't there anything else I can wear?'' I ask.

 ''Nope!'' 

 ''Hand me the suit.''

        I signal them to get out so, I can get dressed. I start with the white button down shirt, then the black pants, next the vest, and lastly,the tail coat and dress shoes. All topped off with a pair pf white gloves. 

        I walk out of the room so, Finny and Snake can see what an idiot I look. This is embarrassing. 

 ''You look hot!'' Finny yells.

 ''You look nice, says Oscar.'' Snake adds.

         I sigh and just rub my temples, I don't think I can handle this. Finny escorts me into the ball room, where Madam Red is already placed, sipping on more wine. I also see Meyrin and William, fawning over eachother's glasses. I see Bard looking proud of his burnt food. I don't see Ciel, as always. 

        I wait for him, where can he be?

 ''Ciel won't come out.'' Meyrin, finally says.

 ''Why not?'' I ask.

 ''Because, the outfit Finny picked out is embarrassing to him.''

 ''How?''

        I see Ciel in the corner of my eye. He is dressed in a pink dress, ruffled up at the long end, with whit ruffles and a pink flower over the chest, he has long black velvet gloves on and a pink top hat. He also has a wig, that resembles his hair but, longer and in pink tails. 

 ''Finny! Why did you buy a dress?'' Ciel angrily yells.

 ''You see, I thought it would look adorable and I was right!''

 ''Why, you.'' Ciel says through gritted teeth.

        He then sees me and looks as if he is going to laugh but,stops him self. 

 ''Is something funny?'' I ask him.

 ''Oh, nothing at all. Just, you look like a butler.'' He snickers.

 ''And,you look like a woman.''

 ''You thought I was a woman.''

 ''You got me there.'' 

        I walk up to him and take is fragile hands, to dance. I assume he knows how to dance. 

        I was terribly wrong though. He keeps on stomping on my feet and holding on to me for dear life. I look to see Meyrin and Finny dancing, smoothly. I see Snake awkwardly dancing with William. Bard must have ran off some where.

         I look down at Ciel.

 ''It isn't the fact that you're dancing skills are lacking, as they are unexistent.''

 ''Oh, shut up.'' 

        We dance the rest of the night, of his stomping on my feet, the clinging on me for life, the tripping and falling. I will admit, it was one of the best nights I have ever lived.
