Solitude

Today's the day where you accompany the Earl aboard a vessel bound for New York. You wake up outside where you fell asleep looking at the stars. Slowly standing up and stretching you see Sebastian approach saying, "Oh good you're awake, I didn't find you in your room when I checked." "Yeah, must've fell asleep looking at the stars." You inform him before dusting yourself off. "Now we're pressed for time young (Y/N). Best get to your own preparations." Sebastian bows and you rush back to your room, 'I totally forgot!' Idiot.

Preparing was quick and easy, 'Gotta hurry.' How does it feel? 'What?' New York, that's the ship's destination isn't it? 'You're right.' Pausing in place you remember your original home, 'Streets filled with hardworking laborers, the sounds of baseball being played in various alleyways and the people coming to aid one another in times of hardship.' Relaxing a bit you finish up your packing and leave onboard a carriage with Ciel. From what I remember, it's you two Sebastian and snake. 'Yup, can't say I'm thrilled though.' Why? 'I absolutely hated where I grew up.'

Arriving at the docks where the ship bound for the states is, you help unload all the luggage along with Sebastian. "I trust you've been informed about the truth of our voyage." Nodding in response you see various amount of people gathered to see everyone off. Waiting no time you place the luggage in everyone's appropriate rooms. "Right that's done, time to relax for a bit." Laying down on the bed the door opens as you groan, "Oh for gods- Oh hey Snake." Now noticing the bed next to your own, "Oh right you're bunked with me." Snake nods before sitting down.

Remember you called him charming at one point. 'Shut up.' You then ask, "Well how are you holding up? I was the new one before you showed up." Noticing no snakes around you only hear a soft voice from him, "Good." Hearing his actual voice your heart jolts, quickly pacing. 'That was...' Cute? 'I was gonna say odd.' Leaning up and having your back pressed against the wall, now speaking, "Well if you need help with anything, let me know." About to take your leave his gaze just follows you before saying, "Thank you (Y/N)."

Shutting the door behind you, now walking towards the main ball room. You find yourself witnessing Ciel having dinner with what seems to be the rest of the Midford family. 'I'll leave that to him.' Viewing the rest of the nobles and their party you feel a bit out of place here. 'Let's find a different crowd to party with.' Oh come on as if you can find anything better than this.

You found your way where the crew is having their own gathering. Having a tankard in one hand and ontop of a table you announce, "This is a way better party!!" You're certainly right! Leaping off the table you begin to dance with other random people. The music is lively as memories of your youth begin to flood your mind. Remembering all the mob parties, everyone taking some steam off after a job well done.

Now you find yourself at a table with four others. One of which with blonde and black hair wearing glasses, "Ahoy there mate! Enjoying yourself?" He says as you introduce yourself, slurring your words a bit, "(Y-Y/N) Wayne pleasure." Shaking his hand the man nods, "Ronald Knox! Charmed." Cheering your tankards together, you return back into the hallway stumbling a bit. You had a bit to much I reckon. Instead of speaking to the devil in your head, you speak aloud, "I'm fine! See?" You do a handstand as passerby's give you an awkward stare. "They think so!" Leaping back onto your feet you smile at the strangers. Surely you knew that Ronald guy was a reaper right? "Gah who cares, I'm sure we'll be fine!" Your voice echos down the hallways.

Speak in your mind you goddamn moron. 'Oh sorry...' Approaching your room you see Sebastian, "My word (Y/N) where the devil have you been." Tilting your head you ask, "What? Looking for-" Burping mid sentence you exhale an aroma of grog and beer, "Looking for me?" He recoils back a bit and sighs, "If the young master finds out you've been partaking in such foolish antics..." You then ask, "Since you're here what do you need?" Doing your best to keep your composure. "The Earl thought it best to raise your status even more by introducing you to the Midfords. As you know this is my lords betrotheds family, however we were unable to locate you." You then ask, "Ah, may I ask what about?"
