Amu wakes up, startled at the loud knocking at her door. She turns her head to see Mei Rin already there, opening it only to stammer in shock, seeing who their late night visitor was.
"Young Master!? Is something the matter?!"
Ciel looked livid and neither lady knew why, "Amu. Want. Now."
The pinkette blinks, surprised by the low growl that emitted from the earl and blinks her eyes in confusion one final time before being forced out of her bed, dragged away by the arm by Ciel.
"W-wait!"
"Quiet!"
Amu clamps her mouth shut at that, his anger was confusing. What did she do to make him this way?
Mei Rin could only watch as her master took her roommate away, she wondered what did the pinkette do to anger the earl so much and why did whatever she needed to be reprimanded for be so late into the night?
Ciel manages to take her to his bedroom, keeping a fierce grip on her wrist, he locks the door behind him before pushing his maid's back against it. It was then, Amu noticed something was different about him.
Ciel's earrings were not the same normal studs. There were hexagram-shaped. She lifts her head and sees two little guardian characters floating behind the earl causing her to gasp.
Could he be in a character change?
Before she could think more on it or observe the little guardian characters, Ciel tightened his grip on her wrists causing the pinkette to visibly wince at the pain.
"I want to know a few things Amu"
The younger teen bites her lip, confused. She could defend herself but at the same time, she was wondering what was going on with him and what caused him to character change to begin with. However, Amu's own character had enough. Kurosu floats into the room with speed. She had followed her mistress, concerned and she was glad she did so.
"Chara Change!"
The X clips Amu was using in her braided updo changed to a cross and a glint formed in her eye in the exact moment but before Ciel could react, the pinkette lifted her right leg and kneaded the earl in the gut causing him to fall backward and clutch his shirt in a fist, groaning in pain thus knocking him out of his character change with Seiran in the process.
"JUST WHAT IS YOUR DAMN PROBLEM?!"
Amu's character change ends and she blinks her eyes in surprise, slowly processing the fact that she hurt her master.
Crud!
She went over to him quickly and sat on her knees, apologizing frantically as she helped him, sit up. Ciel doesn't respond, still in pain making Amu worry until the earl suddenly shifts his head to lean onto the pinkette and the girl blushes furiously in surprise.
Ciel rubs his nose on her neck causing Amu to redden even more.
"Master?"
"I have guardian characters like you."
"A-ah I know...I see them."
Ciel lifts his head then and he looks up at the two as they float down to his eye level. Cyan enthusiastically introduces himself while Sieran was surprisingly smiling as he did his. But of course his smile was not of a normal one, he grinned mischievously almost like a more friendlier version of a smirk. Ciel wondered what that troublesome little fairy was upto.
"Again, we are not fairies Ciel."
Amu resists the urge to smile as she explains that the guardian characters are a part of them so they feel what the bearer feels and hear what they think. The earl groans, knowing fully well that these two were trouble. Meanwhile, Amu was slightly concerned over Sieran's representation.
She hoped she didn't have another crazy king world domination type on her hands. She already dated a seemingly innocent one already and Ciel was more likely to take that crazy idea into actual fruition considering the kind kind of person he is.
"I'm sorry but what happened. I didn't mean to hurt you Amu. I hope you know that."
Amu accepts the apology, going on to tell him more about guardian characters as he rubs his fingertips gently on her slightly swollen hands.
"Wait, you can transform with them? Into what? A human-sized fairy?"
"We are not fairies!" screams Kurosu before joining Ciel's character's side.
Amu does her best not to laugh before introducing Kurosu and explaining what a Guardian Character Transformation was. Ciel listened intently as the pinkette describes it as someone combining powers with his or her Guardian character. The character goes into his or her egg, which then goes into the owner's heart. This ability surpasses the power of a Character Change by 120% of its normal power. This ability is rare, so there aren't many who can transform.
"Can you do it?"
"Ahhh...I haven't done it with Kurosu so I guess I probably could? I mean I did it with my previous characters."
"Previous? What happened to them?"
Amu shakes her head, "It's not something I want to talk about."
Ciel frowns, he didn't like secrets but then Sieran's voice sounds in his head. He listens to it before speaking again.
"Sing me something."
"Huh?"
"You heard me."
"E-erm but it's late-!"
Ciel rests his head again on Amu's shoulder, this time with his lips on her neck, "You are my servant. Do as I say Amu or you will tell me what I want to know."
The pinkette's heart races and she hopes to the Lord above that Ciel didn't tease her about it. He was so close, it was making her warm all over. She takes a deep breath but slowly she adjusts Ciel's head on her body, his face reddens as Amu ever so gently moves to wrap her arms around his neck and resting his head on her growing buxom.
Honey, don't worry
You are on your way to heaven
Just relax (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
I don't wanna hurt you
I just wanna blow your mind
Tonight Imma leave you breathless
Breathless (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Can't let no one remember
Really hope that you know better
I just wanna leave you breathless
Breathless (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Ciel moves his head slowly and Amu's fingers brushes against the skin of his cheeks, meeting eyes with him.
"I didn't know you could sing that well..."
For the first time that night, Amu was glad they were so close, she doubted she could hear him because his voice was so soft at the moment.
"Singing is a hobby of mine"
He hums softly in response before leaning in, their noses touching and Amu's heart pounds in her chest; the closeness...the position...his face...it reminded her of the times she was kissed.
Did Ciel want to kiss her?
"Excuse me young master but you should be sleeping."
The two teenagers turn to see Sebastian there causing Amu to scramble to her feet, flushing in embarrassment. She tries to explain but Sebastian raises his hand to stop her. Ignoring the three guardian characters who had rushed to hide.
"I will escort you back to your room, please wait outside."
Amu nods, curtsies respectfully to the both of them before hurrying out of the room to leave the two of them alone.
"Young master, you must control yourself. You have a fiancee."
Ciel runs a hand through his hair, hoping his face wasn't as red as he felt.
"You do not need to lecture me Sebastian."
The demon butler sighs heavily, Ciel's testosterone was riding through the roof and Sebastian could sense it. They boy's desires to touch the pinkette and make her as his were so strong, it was making the demonic servant falter in his facade. Quietly, he had noticed that his body was reacting to the boy's lust. It made him feel a little more hungrier than usual and he kept his level best to make sure he kept his facade up. He was just thankful Amy had yet to grow fully into an adult or he, himself would have had his wicked way with her by now.
"Come, you need to sleep."
Later into the night, Mei Rin rushes over to Amy as the pinkette sullenly enter the room. Sebastian wishes them goodnight and closes the door but before she could ask anything, the girl quickly heads over to the bed and covers herself with the blanket, unwilling to talk. Mei Rin bites her lip as she cautiously heads over to sit by the girl's bed, gently stroking the girls head. She hoped everything was alright.
Kurosu watches over them from above, relaying the conversation Sebastian had with the pinkette earlier.
"The young master is quite taken with you Amelia"
"E-erm-"
"Listen to me. The young master must not jeopardize his engagement to Lady Elizabeth in a distasteful fashion so please as a servant of the Phantomhives, you must never respond to his advances."
"Easier said then done" murmurs the little guardian character.
Things were only going to get harder from here.
