As you look out at the passing scenery of the outskirts of London you can't help but wonder back to your home. You won't be seeing it for 3 months since your parents decided to send you off to their good 'friends' the Phantomhives.

Your parents still mourned for their deaths. You'd tried reasoning with them to consider coming with you but they declined, saying they had more important matters to attend to. Although you loved your parents you feared for them, they weren't very sociable people. Besides you were 13, and they hadn't even bothered to start searching for suitors for you. You looked back out to the surroundings of your carriage and over to your butler who was staring into space, you found yourself thinking about it to often. But you didn't trouble yourself asking him, because you figured he had always done it. And wouldn't it be a little late to ask?

As the carriage starts to slow down, you look up to the huge manor before you. Stretching your neck so you could get a good angle to view the enormous mansion, although you'd hurt your neck doing so you didn't care. It had been years since you saw Ciel Phantomhive, and you pondered on whether or not he would remember you. Saying that, you had changed, quite a lot actually. You were always classified as short by your family and relatives, although you hated being called short you didn't mind being short. It was just the fact that it was a lot easier to do things if you were small. As you gently accept your butler's outstretched hand you begin making your way up to the entrance of the overly large building. Your butler knocks three times before the large intricate doors open to reveal a well-tailored man standing before you.

You had to admit he did look rather handsome, and you concluded that he was rather fond of the colour black. He smiled graciously before introducing himself, "greetings my lady, I am the Phantomhives butler Sebastian Michaelis. You must be (y/n) (l/n). My master has been expecting your arrival. Please right this way." He bowed before leading you into the manor. As you entered the room you couldn't help but gasp at the beautiful sight before you, it was an extravagant room with twin staircases leading up to a second story, and had doors traced around the walls of the upper floor, which you could only imagine lead to hundreds of rooms. Sebastian stood in front of you and bowed again pointing his hand towards the staircase.

"Please, my master is in his study. I shall take you to him now." You give him an appreciative smile and thanked him, he nodded and followed you up the staircase. After a few minutes you reached a door and Sebastian knocked announcing his and your arrival, you heard a faint 'enter' before Sebastian opened the door. You entered and couldn't help but smile as you saw your old friend standing next to the window in all his glory. He turned to see you and smiled before walking to you and enveloping you in a warm hug, you couldn't help but squeeze back as you remembered all the times you and Ciel spent together. He released you from the hug, "it's been a while (y/n), I hope you had a good trip." He began, you nod, "yes, it's been a while since I've seen so much green." He chuckles slightly and sits back down in his chair, "yes well, that's what you get for spending so much time in the overcrowded streets of London."

You smile at his remark, ready to play this game of his. "Yes well you know I had no choice, Ciel. My parents wouldn't have ever moved out here and even if I did move out here. Where would I go?" You try to sound helpless while you wait for an answer that you knew was coming. He swivels to face you with a smirk on his lips. "Why, you'd stay here. I couldn't let you stay anywhere else, they may mistreat you." He said in a sly tone. You scoff and look back at him. "Oh! And how so? How do you know I won't be mistreated here?" You say innocently, he laughs and stands. Making his way over to you, you laugh walking backwards away from him. Before you know it you are backed up against a wall, you start to panic a bit. You look up to Ciel staring into his eyes, he smiles and looks down at your lips. He inches forward and you feel your eyes flutter closed, you feel his warm breath on your lips. Just when you're about to experience an amazing first kiss the study door opens and you and Ciel jump away from each other. Looking over to the study door and seeing Sebastian standing their, a letter In hand.

"Young master, a letter has arrived for you." You look to Ciel and see him back in his normal state but minus his smile he had only a second ago and add an angry expression that gave you the feeling that he would kill someone any second. "Fine." He huffs, walking up to Sebastian and snatching the letter from his hand. Sebastian looking quite surprised, nods and leaves the room without question. You turn back to Ciel watching him read the letter, You walk up behind him and look over the letter. "The Trancy household is hosting a ball, and we're invited." Ciel says without emotion. You nod slightly readying yourself to leave when you feel a hand in yours.

You turn back and see Ciel staring at you, lips apart ready to say something. "C-Ciel." He wraps an arm around your waist pulling you close, your cheeks flushing. He leans in without hesitation and kisses you forcefully. You moan into the kiss and wrap your arms around his neck, he deepens the kiss by begging for entrance, You grant him entrance opening your mouth slightly. He slips his tongue quickly into your mouth dominating you. You feel your breath running out and you're about to break away when you hear a faint knock on the door. Ciel breaks away growling, you slowly open your eyes and stare at him with lust. "I. Hate. Being. Disrupted." He growls, you could tell he was furious with the amount of people disrupting your moments together.

You couldn't help but giggle at his anger, he growls at you, he huffs and turns back to the door. "What." He says angrily towards the door. "I'm hear to collect my mistress, your butler has informed me of the ball and I would like to get my mistress ready." You hear your butler say quietly from the other side of the door. "I'll be their in a minute." You reply back, You turn to look up at Ciel. You smile softly before pressing your lips to his once more. He wraps his arms around your waist tighter. You break away and softly attempt to break away from his embrace, "don't go." He pleads to you, looking at you with pleading eyes. "Hehe, you know I have to, I'll see you soon."

He lets you go hesitantly, he watches you walk over to the door. You look back at him and blow a kiss to him, "alright, let's get me ready for a ball." You say with enthusiasm to your butler, "very good milady."
