It is a short chapter but I needed to update and I want to get the filler chapters out of the way! Hopefully next chapter will be the one! Also my apologies if it is bad.
The circus lights were bright underneath the moon and the lights of the circus tent can be spotted from the docks. The music grew louder and louder as if the tent knew it would attract more people inside. Joker pushed Ceil out in front of the crowd as well as his butler. "Go! Go!" Sebastian smiled at the audience and took a bow while Ceil just stood stiff and gulped. He felt as if something bad was about to happen, as if the ground underneath his feet was no longer there. Which, in his case he was correct. In that moment he was swung up to the tight rope and was perfectly balanced on the top of Sebastian's head. After some acts here and there, people soon began to start packing up and heading back to their homes. As for the Phantomhive and his butler they had to stay, they could not be rude and reject the offer they received from Joker right after their act was finished.
"Ceil! You were splendid!" Joker picked up the small earl with ease and spun him around. A soft pinkish blush arose upon the earl's cheek and he furrowed his eyebrows. "Put me down." He said in his natural monotone annoyed voice. The orange haired man just smiled more and placed him down (not before giving him one last tight squeeze). Ceil looked up at him and joker ruffled his hair. "Where's your soon to be wife? "For some reason ceil did not like that he was thinking about Elizabeth and not him. He shook his head trying to get his thoughts together. Joker saw the earl was in deep thought, staring at his cute little pout he couldn't help but give a small peck. Ceil jumped up started and instantly slapped him "How dare you?! Don't you know it is not polite to kiss someone that has not given you consent!?" Rubbing his face joker laughed and pinched the young earl's cheek "Your face tells me you liked it." Ceil was appalled that that sentence came out of this man's mouth. "It's a natural instinct!" Sebastian came back with widen eyes and looked from earl to ring leader.
"I am glad to see you are making a new friend my lord." Ceil huffed and gave a glare towards him while he simply returned a smirk. "Will you still be joining us for dinner?" the earl sighed deeply inside his mind and gave a fake smile to the ring leader. "It would be rude not to." Joker jumped up and down and dragged both by the hands. "Let us go to dinner!"
