(Your POV)
I wake up to Myriam calling me.
"_______, Sebastian said that breakfast will be ready soon."
I sit up in a sleepy stupor. Myriam helps slip on my blue day dress. She curls my hair into ringlets and pins them high. I head downstairs as Myriam packs.

The dining room is already set up. Ciel is in an intense conversation with Sebastian. Sebastian looks up as I enter.
He smiles at me.
"Lady ______, so nice to see you awake. Have a seat," Sebastian says.
I sit next to Ciel again. Sebastian takes out the cake we made last night. I gasp, but no one notices.
"Sebastian, what is this? You've never made this before?" Ciel asks.
"Why, this is coconut cake. It was a combined effort of Lady ______ and I," says Sebastian.
Ciel takes a bite.
"This is delicious, ______. Complements to the chef!" he smiles at me. When Ciel smiled, his whole demeanor became happier. I don't know why I ever thought he was cold. He had such a warm smile.
"Thank you, Ciel," I blush.

After I finish breakfast, Thomas loads up the carriage. I walk outside. Sebastian waits outside near the door of the carriage. He holds out his hand and helps me into the seat. Before we take off, Sebastian asks,"Can I reserve a dance for tonight?" I blush and nod. I wave to Ciel and Sebastian as we head to the tailor to get my dress and then, home.

Later that Night

Thomas and Myriam follow me into the extravagant ball room. We gasp in amazement. Lights string across every surface it seems. Then, I notice Ciel across the room in a weird frilly outfit.
"Myriam, Thomas, enjoy yourselves," I say and then I walk to Ciel.
"Nice outfit," I laugh.
He gives me a fake glare and eye roll. "Elizabeth's idea, not mine. Trust me," he says.
"I think the little hat's the best part!" I say poking it. We laugh, but my mind runs. Who's this Elizabeth?

Instead of dancing, we talk and laugh all night. Ciel talks about everything from Mey-Rin's worst accidents to his own hilarious mistakes. I open up to him about everything from my messes to Myriam and Thomas. We laugh until he bids goodbye to all his guests.
"How about you come tomorrow for the day?" he asks.
"I would love to, Ciel!
Ciel excuses himself to say goodbye to Elizabeth. Before he goes, I catch his shoulder.
"Who's Elizabeth?" I ask.
"My...um... good friend," he spits out.
Then, he hurries over to her.

I feel a hand on my shoulder. I turn.
"Sebastian!" I say in surprise.
The thought of the promised dance comes to mind. "I'm sorry..."
"Shh... Lady______, did you see me tonight? No, because I was in the kitchen. You couldn't dance with me anyway. I'm a butler, you're a lady. And oh! I tried to replicate your cake!" He smiles.
He holds out a slice with a fork. I take a bite.
"Sebastian, it's even better than my recipe!"
"I tweaked it a bit. Want me to teach you how to make it?"
I nod and follow him to the kitchen. He pulls out stuff for the batter. He tosses the flour bag onto the counter. The bags puffs out white powder all over my dress. The white contrasts greatly against my starry blue-black dress. It's ruined.
"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry, Lady ______!" Sebastian says.
I laugh. Sebastian looks confused and taken aback. I don't hesitate as I pick up a handful of flour and throw it at Sebastian. His butler uniform is covered in white powder. I laugh really hard to the point where I'm on the floor. Sebastian smiles as he throws more flour on me. It turns into a full out flour fight. Then, Ciel walks in.
"Sebastian, have you seen..."
He sees us covered in flour.
Sebastian starts to explain, "Uh..we...cake."
I cut him off in his surprise. A huge white spot covers the front of Ciel's outfit.
Sebastian gasps. I just laugh.

Ciel's face hardens. He walks towards me with a grimace on his face. I ate back a bit.
"How dare you...!" He grabs a fistful of flour. "...not invite me!" he yells as he throws a fistful of flour at my face. I sputter as I wipe the flour out of my mouth. The war begins again. It lasts until we all look like snowmen and the whole kitchen is white with snow.
"There is no way I will be able to go home like this," I say as I sit on the floor, watching Sebastian and Ciel make flour angels.
"You could stay here for the night," Ciel says, sitting up. His ink black hair appears grey.
"What would I wear?" I ask.
Sebastian stands. "I'll ask Mey-Rin for something?"
"That's fine with me," I smile.
Sebastian dusts himself off and heads out the kitchen. Ciel also stands and helps me up.
"You can have the guest suite. Up the stairs, first door on the left. I'm heading to my room to clean up as well," he leaves. I find Myriam and Thomas waiting by the front door.
"Myriam, I'm going to stay here. Return tomorrow morning with clothes please," I ask.
She nods with a suspicious look on her face and leaves with Thomas, hand in hand.

I walk up the staircase. I turn to the...which side did Ciel say? I choose the right. I open the door. A half-naked Sebastian stands in the middle of the room. I can't help but stare at his chiseled pale body...
"Ahem?" he scoffs.
"Oh!" I jump. "So sorry! I thought this was my room!" My face burns.
He laughs. I've never heard him laugh. It's so perfect.
"You're welcome to stay," he flirts. "I have your clothes here and everything."
I blush even more as Sebastian tosses the nightgown over to me.
"I think I'll be good," I mumble.
He scoffs with a smirk. "Feeble as a kitten," I hear him mutter as I stumble out of his room and into mine.
