Sebastian's POV:

I have watched my young master scurry about the building with the decorators like a cat chasing after a speck of light. Throwing orders this way and that to the hired men trying to assure that this would be the most perfect night in hopes of bedding his beloved wife as soon as the ceremony and theatrics would end. I myself held a small clip board with a list of things needing to be done as he added more and more for me to write.

"Don't forget to get the decorative punch bowls from the crystal cabinet, the top shelf bowls not our company ones. Oh! and also gather the old tattered curtains from the tailor in town and drape them. I want this house to be perfectly halloween."

"As you wish young master, but perhaps you should focus more on your own costume? Also what about your wife, she is sure to change her dress again."

"Relax Sebastian, i was able to find her amongst a crowd of women before. I'm sure im more than capable in doing so again."

I had to fight the smile begging to form as he stated so confidently in his ability to find his wife. my sincerest apologies master, but this woman has begun sullying my great feast. It is time for your little playtime to end. I glanced at the clock time to time as i wondered around the manor overseeing the decorating and ticking off things completed. I have the lace that Shadowhive plans to use on her dress. Excellent Spider, remember to be precise in duplicating the dress. You just worry about duplicating the mirror of shadowhive. Are you certain she is a perfect decoy? Similar eyes, similar hair, similar skin but different body type and appearance as well as demeanor to anger our little fox. L-Remember you goons, we must be sure that this will annoy my mistress enough to try and storm out. C-Not to mention that Ciel boy has to grip onto the foxes dress. S- Yes how will we make the dress rip? L-I will make a tiny tear in her clothing where i imagine the lord would grip onto her as she turned away. S-Not her sleeve, what if he grips the wrong one? C-Not to mention your marking.-

"SEBASTIAN!!!"

I blinked as i was awoken from the conversation and saw that i habitually walked into my masters office.

"I asked you what you are doing in here?"

I blanked... shit what can i say.... The sound of galloping feet reached my ears... ah sweet victory.

"I wish to inform you that i can sense the carriage approaching. I simply imagined you would like to greet Lady Phantomhive the moment she arrived."

He nodded and rose from his chair leaving his office. I allowed a small mischievous grin to form as i followed behind my young lord. As we were saying Dracovich, should my master pull the sleeve covering her mark and it rips, an even darker secret will be revealed to a rather large crowd. L- yes, but years of practice have given me the ability to perfect my covering skills, even if the boy rips the sleeve on her marked arm it will remain hidden. C- For good measure i would cause a tear in the hem of her dress. L- why? C- what if the lord follows after her? S- how much damage are you wanting to cause spider before disrobing the young lady? A shared laugh between me and the spider echoed in my head while dracovich fumed. The sound of horses filled my ears and Ciel looked about to burst from joy as the door opened showing his wife.

"Welcome back home darling, how was your shopping?"

"It was marvelous, Trancy and i had a fabulous time."

"did you buy any toys?"

"No, we returned early. After all i need to start working on my costume~"

Jade gave a small peck on Ciel's cheek and Trancy rolled his eyes. I couldnt help but feel a fit of giggles well up as i saw our three masters playing their parts perfectly without realizing what we were doing in the background.
