I stood in front of the mirror running my hands through my hair. It hung in waves around my shoulders and I was making double sure it was laying right. From the back of my drawer I had pulled out a black sequined flowy tube top and my tightest jeans. With that I paired a pair of black flats, a black clutch and a pair of silver hoops.
"Charlotte! You look gorgeous!" Millie gushed.
I turned and saw Millie walking out of the bathroom. Her red hair was pulled half up and half down and she wore a white dress with a flared skirt. On her feet were a pair of gold colored heels so high I felt unsteady just looking at them.
"So do you!" I smiled.
"Thank you." she replied.
"Ready to go?" I asked.
"Yes I am." she said and grabbed a gold colored clutch and we headed to find the boys.
We found them both waiting in the front hall. Alfie's strawberry blond hair hung in his eyes and he wore a pair of dark slacks and a red button down shirt with a black tie hanging loosely and a pair of shiny dress shoes. Beside him stood Cade wearing a pair of jeans with a gray button down tucked into them and a black blazer.
"It's about time. Girls always take forever. Now where's the Master?" Cade asked as we walked in.
"No clue." I replied.
"He said he was coming right?" Alfie asked.
I nodded, "I told him to be ready at 10."
Millie started to say something when Master Phantomhive appeared at the top of the stairs. He wore a full suit with a top hat and cane.
"What is he wearing?" I heard Millie whisper.
"Looks like a blooming penguin!" Cade muttered.
"We'll never get in if he's dressed like it's Halloween." Alfie sighed.
I took a deep breath and met Master Phantomhive at the foot of the stairs.
"Um…Master Phantomhive? What are you wearing?" I asked.
"We're going out are we not?" he asked.
"Yes but you don't need the top hat…or the cane…or the full suit…." I replied.
"I'm not dressed appropriately?" he asked.
"No." I replied shaking my head.
He sighed, "Very well then. I will ask your assistance."
"Okay then. Let's go." I said and led him upstairs.
The moment I walked into his room I dived for the wardrobe. I sorted through and found a few usable pieces but not a full outfit.
"What's going on in here?" Sebastian asked.
"Charlotte is putting together a suitable outfit for me." Master Phantomhive said.
"Just leave it to me." I said smiling at Sebastian before dashing out of the room and heading for the stairs.
"Alfie!" I yelled looking down at him.
"What is it?" he asked.
"I need to borrow a pair of your jeans. Dark ones." I replied.
"Right." he nodded and hurried off.
"Millie go get my gel please?" I asked and she smiled and took off for our room.
A few moments later they returned. Alfie handed me a pair of black tailored jeans and Millie handed me my bottle of gel. I thanked them both and hurried back to Master Phantomhive's room.
"Okay in the bathroom." I instructed and thrust the jeans at him along with a the clothes I'd chosen earlier.
He disappeared and came out a few moments later dressed in the clothes. The dark jeans weren't too tight or too loose, fitting him like a glove. He wore a navy blue button down shirt and a black silk vest with black dress shoes.
"I'm not quite sure about these pants." he said with a small frown.
"They're jeans. You'll get used to them. Now for your hair." I replied and pulled him back towards the bathroom.
I stood him in front of the mirror and grabbed the gel.
"What is that?" he asked.
"Just let me do your hair." I replied and quickly began to apply it.
It didn't take long to get it situated the right way. When I was happy with it I undid a couple of Master Phantomhive's shirt buttons to just give him the right look.
"There. Perfect." I smiled.
"What do you think Sebastian?" Master Phantomhive asked.
"You look quite different My Lord but I must say it does suit you." Sebastian replied.
Master Phantomhive nodded and turned to me.
"Shall we leave then?" he asked.
I nodded and we headed downstairs.
The others were still waiting and looked at us when we walked down the stairs.
"Master Phantomhive! You look great!" Millie smiled.
"Thank you Millie. Now are we going?" Master Phantomhive asked.
"Yep! I'm the DD tonight." Alfie said holding up the keys to the car and the five of us headed out.
As we walked towards the car I felt someone grab my arm. Looking up I saw Sebastian.
"I will remain behind tonight to look after the Manor. I am putting the safety of the Young Lord into your hands Charlotte. Surely you know what that means?" he asked.
"Don't worry. I'll keep an eye on him for you." I assured him.
"Very well. What time will you return?" he asked.
"I don't know…2? 3? Jeeze lay off Gramps." I grinned.
I could tell that Sebastian was resisting the urge to roll his eyes but with a nod he turned and walked back inside. When he was finally back inside I headed for the car. Alfie and Cade were in the front with Millie and I in the back with Master Phantomhive in the middle.
The drive to the club wasn't long and soon Cade was parking. We all climbed out of the cab and after a short walk were standing in the queue for the club. We had gotten there early enough that it didn't take long for us to get to the front. I pulled out my ID and flashed it at the bouncer as did Cade, Alfie and Millie. However it seemed Master Phantomhive didn't have one.
"Sorry kid no ID no getting in." the Bouncer said.
"What? This is an outrage! Do you know who I am?!" he asked.
"No and I don't care." the Bouncer replied.
Master Phantomhive started to say something but I grabbed his arm, "Hold on."
Reaching into my clutch I pulled out a couple of pounds and waved it at the Bouncer. He looked at it for a moment before taking it and letting us in.
"Money solves everything but you should really get an ID." I muttered as we walked in.
Millie and I checked our coats before walking into the main part of the club. Music was blaring and lights were flashing everywhere.
"Come on! We're going to get a drink!" I said yelling over the music to Master Phantomhive.
We walked over to the bar and I took the opportunity to order for Master Phantomhive. I knew he wouldn't know what to order so I got him a rum and coke and a vodka and cranberry for me. Cade also ordered a round of Jager bombs for all of us except for Alfie.
"Alright! To Cade's birthday!" Millie cheered and we knocked back the shots.
Well all accept Master Phantomhive.
"Take your shot!" I yelled over the music.
"I drank it!" he replied.
"No! You drink it all at once! Chug it!" Cade replied.
Master Phantomhive nodded and started to drink it but a moment later was coughing.
"Are you okay?" I asked.
"What is that?" he asked.
"It's a Jager bomb! Jagermeister and Red Bull!" I replied.
"What and what?" he asked.
"Never mind! Just grab your other drink and come on." I replied and we headed to find somewhere to sit.
We found a small booth and sat down.
"Who want's to dance?" Millie asked.
"Ooh! Me!" I ginned jumping up.
"Anyone else?" Millie asked.
"I don't think I've had quite enough to drink yet." Cade said holding up his glass.
"Not yet." Alfie shook his head.
"What about you Master Phantomhive?" I asked.
"Oh no. I'd prefer not to." he said.
"Do you mind if I go dance?" I asked leaning a little closer to him.
"Fine. I will call you if I need you." he replied.
"Right." I said and jumped up before grabbing Millie's hand and pulling her out onto the dance floor. The two of us found a space and began to dance.
"I don't think the Master is having much fun!" Millie said as we danced.
"He'll get into it soon. Besides he's the one who asked." I said.
She nodded, "Maybe he'll get a loosen up after he finishes his drink!"
Millie and I danced and laughed for a while before returning to sit back down at the table. By that time Cade had finished his third drink and was talking to Alfie about a girl he saw across the club. Master Phantomhive had finished his first drink, was on his second and looked as steady as he had earlier.
I sat down and Millie offered to go and get me a refill on my drink which I gratefully accepted.
"Can I ask you a question?" I asked leaning into Master Phantomhive.
"What is it?" he asked.
"Can demons get drunk?"
"I'm not sure. Though I do seem to be feeling some effects of this drink as well as the one you and the others forced upon me." he said.
"Really now?" I smiled and took a closer look at him.
His eyes did appear a tad unfocused now that I saw him better.
"Does this mean you'll dance now?" I asked.
"No. Still not dancing." he replied.
"Aww c'mon Ciel you know you want to." I smiled.
"Ciel?" he asked looking at me.
I flinched, "I'm sorry it's the alcohol. It loosens my tongue."
"It's fine. I didn't mind it." he smiled.
I felt a tingle shoot down my spine and I started to say something when Millie returned with my drink. The lot of us sat at the table talking and sipping our drinks when suddenly a song came on that made Millie squeal.
"Let's go! This song is great!" she said and jumped up grabbing Cade and dragging him out to join the crowd.
"Would you like this dance my lady?" Alfie grinned putting his hand out.
"Of course!" I smiled and took it.
"Master Phantomhive! Are you coming?" Alfie asked.
"No. I believe I'll stay here." he replied.
Alfie gave a shrug and pulled me over to join Cade and Millie. We began to dance but I couldn't shake the feeling of eyes on me the entire time. After a few minutes I turned to see if they belonged to Master Phantomhive but didn't see him anywhere. I figured he had excused himself to the bathroom so I turned back to Alfie.
However a few seconds later I felt a pair of hands on my waist. I turned about to shout at whoever it was that was touching me to back the hell off when suddenly my brown eyes met a familiar blue pair. Smiling I turned around and started to move against Master Phantomhive as he moved against me.
"Am I doing this right?" he asked lowly in my ear.
"Fine. Just relax and copy what the others are doing." I smiled.
"You're not so bad at dancing Master Phantomhive. I don't see why you don't do it more often." I said as we danced.
"I thought you were calling me Ciel now." he replied.
"I was afraid that it was too intimate." I said.
"And a kiss isn't intimate?" he asked.
I swallowed the lump in my throat, "I didn't think you cared about that."
A smile curled at one side of his mouth and there was a devilish glint in his eyes. Before I could even process it he was kissing me. Again.
This one was different from the one we'd shared on the balcony at the ball though. There was something new to it. Something raw and electric. My heart beat like crazy in my chest and it seemed like I didn't need air. There was the scent of smoke and the heat seemed to rise around us as everything melted away.
As if on instinct my body began to move as did his. Our lips separated but our bodies didn't. The music pumped around us and we danced. It was like we were one person. I knew every movement he made and he knew all of mine.
Looking at him I saw his eyes flash fuchsia and I knew mine were too. However I couldn't care. The only thing I cared about was the two of us in this moment. The atmosphere around us was intoxicating.
It was a shock to both of us when the little bubble we were engulfed in was popped by a hand landing on my shoulder. It was almost as if a bucket of ice water were thrown on us.
"What's going on?" I asked looking around, feeling a little dazed.
"It's time to go. They just gave last call." Millie said looking at me and I could see the faintest trace of a smirk on her lips.
"Oh…okay." I nodded.
Ciel took my hand and we headed back to the others. When we were all gathered again Millie and I grabbed out coats for the check counter and left. I felt strange, tired almost. Ciel didn't seem nearly as bad off as me though.
On the way home I rested my head on Ciel's shoulder and dozed. I only reluctantly moved when we got home. Millie had fallen asleep in the car so Alfie picked her up and carried her into the house with a tipsy Cade following after.
I started to follow them to the help's quarters when Ciel grabbed my hand.
"I don't want to leave you." he said.
"I don't want to leave you either." I smiled.
"Sleep with me then." he replied.
"Ciel I…I don't think I'm ready to-" but he cut me off.
"No…just sleep. Nothing more." he said.
I nodded and he led me upstairs to his room. When we walked in it felt different somehow. I had always been here as a maid never as Charlotte.
"Here…you can sleep in this. I don't imagine that will be very comfortable." he said handing me one of the tops to his pajama sets.
I walked into the bathroom and changed into the top and pulled my hair up with a spare elastic I had before walking back out. Ciel was already in bed waiting for me, wearing a pair of black pajamas. Smiling I crawled onto the bed and laid down beside him. He reached over and wrapped his arms around me.
He was warm and comfortable and before I knew it I was asleep.
3rd POV
Sebastian watched from an upper room as the car pulled up to the house. Alfie walked in first with Millie resting in his arms and Cade stumbling behind. However it was the two that walked behind a ways that he truly watched.
Their hands were clasped together as the moved. With his hearing he listened to Ciel and Charlotte's quite reluctance to part before their footsteps began to creak on the steps. He continued to watch as they moved towards Ciel's room.
He waited until the sounds of breathing from inside the room had stilled before he walked in. Moving quietly he collected the Master's clothes from the previous night as well as Charlotte's. They smelled of alcohol and sweat along with the pungent brand of smoke that was unique to demons.
Smiling he knew that the melding of their fates had begun. As Charlotte's powers began to expand and appear they would become closer and closer and soon hers would become one with his. It was quite a rare feat for a Demon to mate with another demon but if his time with Ciel Phantomhive had taught him anything it was that he was anything but normal.
Once the clothes were gathered he moved out of the room, nothing more than a shadow on the walls. However as he began to close the door he couldn't help put pause as he heard the Ciel stir. Standing by the door he waited to see if there was anything needed.
However no one called out for him. Instead the words that fell from Ciel's lips were ones directed at the girl sleeping beside him.
"I love you Charlotte." Ciel whispered.
The smile on Sebastian's face widened a tad as he closed the door. His Master was growing up so very fast.
Aww...Ciel and Charlotte :)
However what will happen when they wake up the next morning?
Hmm...
This would've been up five minutes sooner if I hadn't had to spend those 5 minutes explaining to my Step-Dad why a Sonic Screwdriver was different from the ones he uses at work.
Anyhow time for the thank yous!
