Very early in the morning a knock on the door was heard. Who comes over at five o'clock in the morning?

You were still in bed, curled up warmly in your blankets.

The door to your room slammed open. A set of hands grabbed your ankles and pulled you out of bed. You instantly woke up.

"What the hell! Hey! Who are you!" You said. You looked up to see a woman with brown hair and glasses pulling you away.

"Hush, hush. I'm here to take your measurements!" She said.

"Huh?" You said.

The woman kept on pulling you even after saying what she was here for.

"So, can you let me go now?" You asked. Well, more like demanded.

She turned to look at you. "Oh, sure! My bad."

The woman let you go and led the way... somewhere. You thought it was better not to ask and just follow her.

"Come in here and wait for Ciel to come." She said gesturing to the library.

"But, I'm in my nightgown still. Can I just change first and then come right back?" You said.

"Nope. I won't take long so stay put!" She said as she ran off who knows where.

You huffed and sat down in a seat. You were tired, still, from being unexpectedly awoken.

You heard yelling from across the hall. The voice was very familiar.

"Put me down! I called for you at five in the afternoon, not morning!" Ciel yelled.

"Oh well, too late!" The woman laughed.

When they walked in, the woman was carrying Ciel on her back. He was kicking around, trying to get loose. Sebastian was behind her.

He blushed when he saw that you were looking at him in an oversized shirt and him looking at you in your nightgown.

"Um, is that Sebastian's shirt?" You asked.

Ciel mumbled. "Yes."

The woman got a huge bag out from under a table. "Lets get measuring!"

You backed away. "I'm sorry, but who are you?"

"Oh, yes. I am Nina Hopkins. I take measurements and make mostly all the clothes Ciel wears." Nina said as she ripped off her bottom part of her dress to reveal some very short shorts. "And you must be (Y/N). The one Ciel told me about."

"Yes I am." You said.

"I'll take your measures first today. Please stand on that stool and put your arms out." Nina said.

You did as Nina said and stood on the stool. Nina grabbed her measuring tape and measured everything from top to bottom and side to side.

"Ciel, your next." Nina said. "But I need you to take off that oversized shirt as it will get in the way. Put on some pants and come back."

"I will. Sebastian, come with me." Ciel said with a worried look.

When Ciel and Sebastian came back, Sebastian had his hand covering a certain area on his shirtless back. Ciel stepped on the stool with Sebastian still covering that spot.

"Can Sebastian move his hand away, please?" Nina asked.

"No. I have a terrible bruise on my back and I don't want anyone to see it."

'Ciel never had a bruise. Well, not that I know of....' You thought.

As Nina measured Ciel, Sebastian's hand never moved an inch from that same spot. He moved his position, but never his arm.

"I'm finished! I will come back around seven with the clothes!" Nina said as she left through the door. "Make sure to tell Mey-Rin I said hello!"

You made sure Nina was officially gone before you spoke.

"What's on your back?" You asked.

"Nothing." Ciel responded.

"Let me see."

"No."

"Let me see."

"No."

"That's it." You grabbed Ciel and turned him around.

Currently, it looked like you were hugging him from behind. Only meaner.

"Ciel... what is this?" You asked, noticing a marked symbol.

Ciel was silent for a minute. "It's a mark of a group. A group that captured me when I was younger that almost killed me. That was also the day I made my contract with Sebastian."

You turned him around. He was now facing you, eye to eyes. You looked at him for a few seconds and then hugged him. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"I was afraid too." He said.

You let go from the hug and had your hands on his shoulders. "Don't be afraid to tell me anything. Ok?"

Ciel nodded. "Ok."

After dinner was over, Nina came rushing in with boxes in her hands.

"Hello, Phantomhive people! I have returned with the clothes!" Nina said as she slammed boxes on the table. "Open them and tell me what you think!"

You and Ciel opened the boxes and found new clothes, of course. Ciel had new outfits and so did you. But there was an extra box for both of you.

"What's in those boxes?" You asked.

Nina and Ciel smirked.

"Open them to find out." Nina said.

You opened your extra box first. You found button up shirts, dress jackets, and dress pants. A complete set of school uniforms.

"Um, Ciel. What are these?" You asked.

"(Y/N), we're going to Weston College." Ciel said.
