On the cart ride home all you could think of was how Chris stole your first kiss, and though you didn't particularly mind, you knew that it was probably a strain on your friendship with Ciel.
"you okay Ciel?"
"I'm fine…"
Ciel said with his normal bored tone. You grew worried.
"I wonder what I should wear to the ball…"
Ciel just shrugged as you both hop out of the cart.
"Its up to you, I'm sure Chris would like anything you will wear."
You sigh and head up to your room setting out all the dresses on your bed.
"Selia which one do you like?"
You take a step back trying to get a better view of the dresses.
"Any would look nice on you, mistress (y/n)."
You let out a deep sigh.
"Well gee, aren't you helpful."
As you were studying each of the dresses features a pastel pink one caught your eye. It had sunset-like orange and white flowers bordering the bodice, and the bottom part of the dress was pastel lace backed on white silk, the skirt ending just before it hit the ground.
You heave a relieved sigh, your search over, and with assistance from Selia put it on.
"Its perfect." You say with a happy smile.
You do a little twirl in your dress in front of the bathroom mirror.
"It looks stunning on you mistress, shall I do your make up and hair for you?"
You nod signaling Selia to get it over with quickly. You didn't have much patience for these sorts of things.
Time skip
Once Selia was done with you, she helped you walk down the stairs, steadying you the few times you nearly tripped on the dress. Ciel was waiting with Sebastian near the entrance hall for guests to arrive. They both turned to face you.
"you look wonderful (y/n)"
Sebastian said while taking a bow, your face quickly turned red at the complement.
"Th-thanks, the two of you are handsomely dressed as well."
You walk about the manor, appreciating the cutlery, libations, and food artfully laid out, and eyeing the lovely decor.
time skip to the ball
the smell of rich foods and a lot of perfume wafted pleasantly into your nose as you stepped inside from the garden.
"Ahh there you are, (y/n), Ciel."
Chris approached you and placed a kiss on your hand. He looked up into your e/c eyes and winked.
"Might I say you look rather lovely tonight. I wish to speak with you, if I might do so in private."
You nod and blush furiously as you began to walk with Chris. You led him into the spare guest room.
"What did you want to talk about?"
"Close your eyes."
You hesitate for a moment but decided to trust Chris. You felt a metal object been place on your head, and with fright you quickly open your eyes. You see that Chris has placed a beautiful tiara in your head. You feel touched, but it somehow seems... off.
"Now you look more like a princess… my princess."
You couldn't help but to shiver. 'This feels wrong..'
"Hey we should really be down at the ball..."
"Why should we, I like it like this, just you and me…"
The situation becomes rather uncomfortable, so you dash out the door and down the stairs,
"(y/n)! sorry I didn't mean to make it sound creepy!"
"its okay.. do you know where Selia is? it's kind of important."
Chris nods and starts to look around with you.
"I think she is outside…"
" I already checked. I'm going to go ask Ciel and Sebastian. Stay here."
You started to walk off in the direction where Ciel was standing.
"Hey Ciel, have you seen Selia?"
"She is out front with your mother."
You stand there staring at Ciel in disbelief.
"M-m-my mother?!"
