Shut Up And Dance (Ciel Phantomhive x Reader)

"Oh don't you dare look back.
Just keep your eyes on me."
I said, "You're holding back, "
She said, "Shut up and dance with me!"

"Keep your eye on me," she said.

His right hand had her left, and his left was on her waist. No higher and no lower. While her right hand was gently rested on his shoulder.

Ciel Phantomhive was getting dance lessons, once again.

This mistress who was teaching him was none other than (F/N) (L/N), his childhood friend.

His blue eye traveled up from his feet, and met her face. She wore a sweet smile, and kept her eyes on him.

He couldn't help but notice that she was a little bit taller than he was. Maybe it was the shoes she wore.

He stumbled, stepping on her toe. But she helped him regain his balance.

"I'm sorry," he murmured, cheeks reddening slightly. "I seem to be distracted today."

This woman is my destiny
She said, "Ooh-ooh-hoo,
Shut up and dance with me."

"So I've noticed," she hummed, seemingly unfazed by his sudden stumble. "You're used to practicing with Sebastian, aren't you?"

Ciel hesitated, but nodded. "Yes," he paused, then gave a rare, yet charming smile. "Though you are a much better dancing partner."

"It would be better if you weren't so stiff," she joked. "Relax a bit, Ciel."

"Right. Sorry," he almost whispered. He tried to get the tension to leave his body, but with her, he just couldn't. And he had no idea why.

(Y/N) slowly stopped dancing, causing Ciel to stumble once again, before coming to a stop himself.

"Ciel," she said, "you've got to relax or this is going to remain harder than it should be."

We were victims of the night,
The chemical, physical, kryptonite
Helpless to the bass and the fading light
Oh, we were bound to get together,
Bound to get together.

His hands dropped to his sides.

Ciel felt his face redden once again. He couldn't not be tense with her. He didn't want to hurt her.

He was holding back.

"Ciel, look," she took his hand once more, and placed his hand back on her waist.

His ears then reddened.

"I know you're holding back. That's why you're tense. Just keep your eyes on me, and relax," she smiled. "Or this really isn't going to be easy," her hand went back to his shoulder. "Now, let's continue. Or do you not want to impress Lizzy?"

She took my arm,
I don't know how it happened.
We took the floor and she said,

No, he didn't want to impress Lizzy. Or Sebastian, or even Alois-bloody-Trancy. He wanted to be close to her. To be close to (Y/N).

This was the only reason he asked her to help him dance.

Well, that, and Sebastian is simply too tall to play the female.

(Y/N) was all he cared about at the moment. And he hoped it wasn't too obvious that he thought that.

Ciel, at the moment, just wanted to be closer to her.

"Oh, don't you dare look back.
Just keep your eyes on me."
I said, "You're holding back, "
She said, "Shut up and dance with me!"
