Why did such things happened to her? Belphegor called her a klutz for a reason, she hated him for it but maybe there was a little bit of truth in it. Yes, she was clumsy especially when it came to Belphegor. That's why the report , written and signed by the prince, was now floating on the surface of the water in the sink. Great, Bel would have to do it again and knowing that he was lazy he would probably put her to do it. No way he would just have to do it again…Or maybe not.

"Ushishishishi…What are you staring at?" Bel asked as he approached from behind. Ciel looked around nervously. He would see it, wouldn't he?

"Let me explain how this happened…" The girl started.

"Do you have a death wish?" Bel asked grinning at her while eyeing the paper.

"I will do it for you again so stop looking at me like that." Ciel said folding her arms.

"And I assume you will do this tonight?" Belphegor asked leaning on the chair.

"Well obviously…" Ciel replied as she caught the paper watching as the ink slowly formed black rivulets on it.

"You can't…" Bel said.

"You are not telling me what to do." Ciel replied walking out of the room with the paper. Still Bel spoke making sure she heard.

"Tonight it's Vongola's anniversary..."

"I'm not coming. The boss is not coming also so I don't see the importance of it. Besides I have to do that stupid report." Ciel spoke slightly annoyed with Bel's words. What was he getting at?

"Ushishishi. That's true since you are the one that messed it up in the first place." Belphegor laughed.

"Hm, have fun…" Ciel said as she turned on her heel to leave as quick as possible.

"You too, shishishi." Belphegor said as he headed to his room. He had to change into formal clothing after taking a shower first. He would have to greet Vongola Decimo tonight with the rest of the Varia and annoy his guardians a bit.

That night was going to be boring and tiring. Ciel didn't know if she would tolerate this situation but since it was her fault she had to fix it herself. Bel , who was too busy picking a costume from his wardrobe didn't even bother to tell her the details about the mission so she had to go and ask several times the members of the storm unit that , needless to say, didn't know she even existed. So she sat on her desk, in her room and made that god forsaken report. That brat had better be happy with the result because she was not doing it twice. She had her own paperwork too.

Staying at the Varia mansion alone with her moody boss was not her favorite pass-time activity but she hated balls more than everything else. Balls and unicorns were on the top of her things-to-hate-list.

1)Unicorns and balls

2)Racism

3) Spicy food.

This list did not make sense and as you already know most lists like that one , that have been written by schoolgirls, housewives, annoying neighbors and black cats tend to be directly connected with the person's fears. Unicorns were not scary, just annoying and the way they were presented in TV series was just making the whole thing worse. There was a thing she was afraid of and the term social event could fully be recognized as that. Ciel didn't like how everyone would whisper and stare and that she had to be with a partner that would dump her in the middle of the room after checking out the other girls that would pass them by.

That had never happened to her before and she wished that it would never happen…

"No way…I must stay focused…" Ciel shook her head trying to get some rather unpleasant memories. She was still afraid of him…wasn't she?

"I'll go to the medical wing for my medicines and when I come back I will finish this." She said standing up and stretching her arms.

Meanwhile Belphegor , Fran, Levi , Lussuria and Squalo entered the Vongola HQ. There were representatives of every family that was an ally , not to mention that Tsunayoshi was quite busy welcoming them and introducing his guardians. The Varia stood out (as usual) . Dino noticed Squalo immediately coming to greet him with one of his genuine smiles.

"I see, Xanxus send you to represent the Varia." Dino said.

"VOOOOOI! There is not a chance of him showing up." Squalo stated.

"Oi Squalo…Where is that so-called snow guardian the rumors say?" Dino asked looking around.

"Che…that rookie did not come. Why do you even care?" Squalo asked slightly annoyed with Dino's goofy smile.

"They say that…you know, snow manipulators can freeze one's flames, much like the Tsuna's zero point breakthrough. Must be amazing to watch." Dino said still looking around while waving at some of his acquaintances.

"VOOOOOOOOOI! Don't expect me to say much about that brat….She hasn't done anything yet so stop saying such things…"

Belphegor and Fran were just in a corner looking around and occasionally exchanging sarcastic comments. Bel would smirk or grin taking a sip of his wine whenever a girl would pass by or giggle at him, blushing . Fran would just sigh at the hopeless situation watching as the prince certainly liked being admired by the ladies , young and even older. The thing Bel liked the most was when married women would stare at him biting their bottom lip or slightly flinching . Oh how he wished that Ciel was there so he could see her-

"Ushishishi. She'd better have finished that report by the time we arrive or else …" Bel muttered trying to forget about her, instead he walked away from Fran trying to find something fun to do. That evening was going to be so boring and Ciel had ruined it when she turned down the invitation…No, Bel didn't care if her presence was missing. He would just mock or tease her anyway…something about the dress being too small for her to fit in, or her hair being too…curly. He would find something to pass his time.

"Oi sempai….Where are you going?" Fran asked following the blond prince while holding a glass of wine.

"Che…Don't follow me, frog….and aren't you still underage…? You can't drink." Bel said as he spotted a woman sitting alone in one of the balconies. "Here I go." Bel said as he grinned at Fran that stopped following him around after realizing what he wanted to do to the woman. Oh no, Fran would not just stand there and watch them do that.

"Just be careful sempai." Fran said.

"Ushishishishi…Funny things you are saying frog." Bel laughed as he pushed the curtains open to close them again and approach the girl that was unaware of his presence.

Two and a half hours had passed since they left and Ciel felt bored and tired…Nothing had really happened and she had finished that report. Now she sat on her bed pondering on what to do …She wasn't sleepy at all, that was weird since she had written a very long report , something that Bel would definitely not do.

"I suppose…I will just give it to the boss, then." Yes, that was a good idea…ten minutes would pass for sure with that and then she may paid a visit to the kitchen…Honestly though, could an evening get more boring than this!

Ciel paced through the faintly illuminated corridors of the mansion, with the paper in hand. She eyed her ring for a moment before continuing to walk, faster this time. That silence was truly odd. She had never experienced it before since she became a member of the Varia. She liked and hated it at the same time.

Ciel reached the door of Xanxus's office in no time. She was hesitant before deciding to open the door and step in quietly. She didn't get a reply so normally she would stand out of the room but for some reason her instinct lead her to step in without thinking about the consequences of her actions. She scanned the whole place twice before spotting her boss sitting on his chair and drinking a glass of tequila. Yes, the boss was okay…or so she thought.

The snow guardian walked timidly toward his office, ready to hand in the report. Xanxus eyed her for a moment before glaring at her in utter irritation, or maybe it was disgust or a bit of both. Ciel kept a cold expression on her face without flinching. That was how she should face her boss…and everyone in there.

"What do you want trash?" Xanxus asked.

"I came to hand in Belphegor's report…it is about the storm unit's success." Ciel replied.

"Just leave it there…and leave." The girl noticed that strange hue in his voice. The atmosphere was pretty hostile too. He paused in mid-sentence trying to form the next words…What was happening?

"Didn't….you hear me…scum?" Xanxus asked again this time more harshly.

"Yes, boss." Ciel said bending her head down avoiding to look Xanxus in the eye.

"Che…just…get out of my sight." Xanxus ordered throwing a glass filled with alcoholic beverage which she avoided . Hadn't she thought of doing so, now a terrible bruise would be on her forehead. Ciel wanted to run but decided to do otherwise. She would walk away calmly without attracting any attention. Nonetheless...

"You are all fucking useless!" Xanxus roared as he grabbed the edges of his desk throwing it toward the girl that quickly dashed and moved away from the flying furniture. Her heartbeat quickened and she could feel her legs trembling. Would she manage to get out of there unharmed. Running was a good plan now. She should have done that later, she realized after seeing the flame of wrath that had now encircled Xanxus's fists. He was so drunk!

"Boss…" Ciel whispered as she ducked behind the table hoping that he wouldn't she her as she would exit the room walking on all fours. Unfortunately for her this would not work…

Xanxus forcibly kicked the large furniture out of the way and Ciel's back collided with the wall behind her. Oh how she wished she could pass through walls now! Her boss was drunk and angry, Ciel knew that she wouldn't escape that easily now.

"Che…" Xanxus pointed one of his X-guns at her charging them, using his flames. Ciel watched petrified as the energy that was gathered was enough to destroy an entire building.

"That is really bad…" Ciel thought. Now she knew that she would have to try that technique that she had never used when training with Squalo. This was the only way that she could survive and when it came to survival she would not hesitate to demonstrate even if it was her boss. "I am sorry boss." Ciel mouthed and Xanxus pulled the trigger without feeling any regret or fear. He was not being logical and that made him more dangerous.

A huge flame came out of the gun …Everything was so bright for a moment. Ciel wanted to close her eyes but she convinced herself that she had to give it a try. She might as well live through this…No…she had to live through this…definitely. When she relaxed again letting her eyes open and look around trying to understand what exactly had happened she stayed immobile at the sight in front of her.

The flames that were going to burn the whole place and probably kill Ciel were now turned into ice pillars that stood in the office like sculptures. One side of the office was burnt and other was frozen. Xanxus's hands were caught into a thick shield of ice whereas his hands were lifted in the air and trapped into the ice layer. Ciel breathed slowly trying to realize what had just happened…She had used her snow flames to counter Xanxus's sky ones. The chances were against her and still she did it! She could not believe it but somehow she felt proud. She wondered what everyone else would say now. From the other hand Xanxus tried to pull his hands out of the ice, groaning in a form of protest.

Unaware though she was Ciel looked over at the door after hearing a very unpleasant but recognizable sound…or rather a mixture of them.

"VOOOOOOOOOOI! What's all that noise?"

"Uh…I think Bel-sempai is drunk…and he smells…funny."

"Oh! Where are the boss and the rookie?"

"It is coming from boss's office." They were back…Ciel just collapsed falling backwards not caring about the reaction's she would get from the others. Her heart pounded so fast right now.

"Ushishishi….Care to explain this?" Bel said as he stepped into his boss's half-frozen office.

"VOOOOOOOOOOOI YOU TWO!" Squalo barked angrily as he grabbed Ciel by her forearm yanking her towards him.

"EXPLAIN!" Squalo ordered her as Levi and Lussuria were busy trying to see if Xanxus , that had now freed himself of the ice, was injured.

"Well…h-he was drunk…a-and I came in to hand him the report but obviously he was pissed at something…It was an outburst and I had to defend myself." Ciel said and she could hear Bel snickering in the background.

"VOOOOOI! Seriously you …froze his flames, woman?" Squalo asked shaking her a bit.

"Yes, now let go of me!" Ciel said and Squalo threw her straight into Bel which resulted in her colliding against his chest.

"Ushishishi. I am not carrying her…she is too heavy." Bel said.

"Don't bother…Your breath stinks and…you…wear perfume for women…ew." Ciel said as she walked away disgusted with that smell.

"The night was…intense…" Bel said trying to infuriate her.

"You are drunk and stupid which is a very bad combination so stay away…as for the report…it must be somewhere in the office…I am not doing this shit again." Ciel stated. Squalo, Levi, Lussuria and Fran were still in the office yelling or just trying to fix the situation while Ciel walked up the stairs tired.

"Ushishishi…Sure you didn't mind freezing Xanxus…" Bel commented as he followed.

"It is self-defense and it comes first to your stupid report." Ciel replied.

"You know…I am drunk too…" Bel said laughing.

"Really?" Ciel walked faster toward her room trying to ignore the prince that walked behind her the whole time. When she had finally reached her room she was suddenly pushed against the wall , her hands above her head and her hair all over her face.

"What are you doing?" Ciel yelled with the stamina she had left.

"What? Are you going to freeze me too? Ushishishi." Belphegor's lips got dangerously close to hers as he moved her hair out of her face so he could see her expression. His breath was like hot poison. It burned her skin and it would soon be a part of her. She would taste like that too. It disgusted her to feel the scent of another woman on him…It made him dirty and so outrageous.

"…" Ciel tried to turn her head away but with no avail.

"I enjoy the things you do, cub…." Bel chuckled and leaned in closer. "All of them…" He added whispering in her ear.

"I told you…you are dirty and-" Ciel stopped speaking as she felt Bel's leg touching hers. "Just wait-"

"Ushishishi…Not a chance. I'll show you the true form of the raging storm." He was out of his mind…yeah, the non-existent one!

"Are you an idiot! Let go already bloody prince!" Ciel protested again.

"This is why they call them clichés, cub…They always happen, shishishi." She hated that breath that was impure…she hated that fake tone…she hated that tipsy smile…but most of all she hated that foreign scent. He was not going to force her into this! No! Never!

"Feel the blizzard Bel!" Ciel whispered as she went to unleash the flames of her ring when she felt it slipping off of her finger and falling down…Perfect…

"Were you saying something?" Bel asked as he didn't wait any longer…First kiss or not that was what he would do now.

"Wait you idiot!" Ciel protested looking around nervously.

"I have all the time you want…but not for this." The storm manipulator replied grinning at her like a maniac.

"That's enough, Bel…" No… this was her first kiss and this was her body that Bel was currently holding. "And I mean that!" Ciel said as her head collided with Bel's sending him to the opposite wall. "You smell like a prostitute!" Ciel said angrily walking in her room and slamming the door shut. Had his behavior made her so mad? Even the thought that she reacted to his words was enough to turn Bel on. She was just so fun.

"She was actually a mafia boss's wife, shishishi." Bel said, making sure she heard, as he headed for his own room.

"Sempai…you made a fool of yourself…again. You broke your record this time though." Fran appeared from the corner looking at the prince.

"Oi…I still have knives you know, frog." Bel threatened grinning.

"You never change." Fran replied.

"Shut up!"

And that was how that night ended…The morning was the real challenge now.

AUTHOR'S NOTE

Bel just slept with another woman that you won't see again in this story but just in case you want to know she is six years older than Bel and her name is Desiree. Ciel finally used her flames to freeze Xanxus's flames (that was hard to write) and she also felt something…She didn't really like that perfume…Was she jealous?

More smutty in the next chapters…I will see what I will do. I want their relationship to evolve slowly. So please leave a comment.(Just to let you know I am writing this late at night and I am sleepy so I will go now sorry) Rating may change!
