The air felt damp, unbreathable, lifeless. The streets had slowly become eerie and rain was falling heavily. How I hate british weather. Scrambling though my pocket, I reached in and found something I don't usually carry. I looked at the valuable silver pocket watch Sebastian had slipped into my pocket when he put my clothes out yesterday, it was now 7 o'clock. I nudged the rather distracted Alois to stop him from spontaneously sexually abusing a lamp-post. "It's getting late, Alois. Do you want to go back to the carriage?" Claude might get a little inpatient..." I told him. I don't want someone like Claude to get frustrated, that would be a BIG mistake. He's just so protective over Alois, like some sort of helicopter parent. Unlike Sebastian who would wait until I have almost hit the ground to go ahead and save me. But that's okay with me, I dislike the dad-ish type. Alois stood up straight, arms crossed scowling "Screw Claude, he's such an anus-bucket."
he replied. I swear, some of the things he says are so odd I wonder if he had just escaped from Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland or something. He leaned back onto the wall behind him, sighing. A young woman dressed in pink lace and velvet carelessly pushed passed me without even noticing I was there. "Hey! Watch it foolish woman! I almost fell over because of you!" I hissed at her. As expected, she ignored me, and casually walked through the doorway of the old building Alois was leaning against. It's very irregular to dress like a Royal on casual occasions, her appearance puzzled me. I looked closer at this place that somewhat resembled an enormous community hall. At that time, I saw a crimson painted sign displayed in the window along with a set of finely polished silverware.

"De Montfort's Grande Ball

Hosted by Lord and Lady De Montfort

Celebrating the birth of our two beautiful twin children, Sophia And Perciville

November 5th, 7 o'clock until late

All Upper Class are welcome."

Alois peeked over my shoulder to read it, afterwards he instantly began dragging me across the road and though a nearby park. Complaining, moaning, pulling away, nothing seem to work. I still couldn't believe he bound me against my will to him with these damn things. Come to think of it, what sort of Earl walks around carrying a pair handcuffs anyway? The idea never occurred to me. What if one of us wants to go to the toilet? On the other hand, I'm glad I'm handcuffed to him and not shackled to his bed, that's for sure. Striding through the unknown town, Alois pulled me along with great determination. He stopped. Alois turned to look at me, smiling. "We're finally here, yay! C'mon Ciel, let's go and investigate!" pulling me into an old ramshackle labeled "THEATRE"In big black letters. The whole place looked as if it was about to fall on us, there were rats, spiders, mice and bats everywhere. Alois undone his side of the handcuffs and danced around, spinning and singing his way casually into one of the rooms. Perhaps he's been here before. "Ciel! Come in here! I have something to show you!" I heard Alois' voice echo though the ruins of the hall, I followed his slightly feminine voice and found myself standing in front of "The Dressing Room". I stepped in, unaware of what I was about to see. Alois was standing there, wearing a long blue strapless dress, long clip-in twin tails and a black tiara. He really looked like a female, a beautiful one indeed. I couldn't help but blush. He began telling me that he found these clothes in the costume box and that we should dress up like upper class adults and go to the Ball. What an idiot he is. First, touching me like I am some sort of human sex toy. Second, taking me to another city without my permission and now he wants me to play dress up.
And after all that, He still hasn't told me why he has taken me here.

I rejected his offer, insisting to go home but he threatened me that if I do not go to that Ball with him in full costume he will tie me to a chair and do all kind of things young boys shouldn't do. I never expected such an event to happen to me, but it happened. I got dressed up in a black and blue tuxedo, a black wig and heeled shoes so I didn't look as annoyingly short as I am. By the time I was fully dressed, Alois was putting women's make up on. "Alois Earl Trancy. You're such a gay twit." I disrespectfully remarked. Alois stayed still for a few moments. As quiet as death. "Why did you say that?! You're such an idiot! Now look what you've done!"My my conscience was shouting at me, I deeply regretted saying that to him. A few minutes later, the blonde boy walked over to me, licking his lips. "What the.. OH NO, OH NO, LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE NOW YOU FOOL! HE'S GOING TO RAPE THE LIVING HELL OUTTA YOU ARGGGGHHHHH" My mind screamed. I knew Alois' perverted lip licking always leads to a dilemma, and that dilemma smacks me on the face.

One of his soft, immature hands wrapped gently around my small womanly waist leaving the other to lift up my chin. Eyes on eyes, chests on chests, I have never imagined I'd be in such a pose with another male. It felt kinda strange...I guess...although, there was something about this romantic pose I sort of liked...Did I like Alois touching me..? Usually, if someone attempted to violate my personal space, I would call Sebastian to help me kick their perverted backside. But today I have realised something. I always let Alois touch me. In the past I've let him, I guess I wasn't thinking about it at the time. His perfect sky-blue stared into me like shooting bullet piercing into it's target. I felt as if we were communicating through eye-contact. "A-Alois...I didn't mean what I said. You actually look..quite beautiful.." I blushed and looked away. "I'm sorry, okay..?" I finally spoke up, not wanting to break the deep tension between us. Silence. The boy (or should I say girl?) with the uncanny ability to tame me removed his hand from my chin, then used that same hand to lift up one of mine, which still had one section of the handcuffs attached, then kissed it lightly. "Ciel, I may be a twit But I'm actually I'm bisexual. I'd rather you didn't insult me like that though, some people might feel offended by such a remark." He said, removing his other arm from my waist. I sighed. "Thank god, Alois. I thought you were rape me or somethi-" The sound of bounding metal was heard. We were handcuffed once again. " I have a thing for bluenettes." He finished.

Before one could say their own name, we were sprinting out of the theatre. Hurrying through the open air once again, I noticed the atmosphere had changed dramatically. The sky was the darkest shade of azure one could imagine, the stars glistened surrounding the lucifer moon. "Oi! Ciel-Kun? Wakey wakey! We're here now." My gazing was once again disrupted by this feminine tone. Stood before me was the large building we were at earlier. It had changed a little since we had been there; the doors that had been closed before were now open, a finely dressed man was outside greeting visitors and the sound of a well-trained orchestra could be heard from inside the venue. I took a deep breath and walked in. Beautifully played music welcomed me along with warmth of the hall. Alois hummed along with the music while dancing, letting his new dress sway gracefully. "Hey Ciel, I have something to tell you." Alois said, still dancing. I turned to look at him with a face of curiosity, then he continued. "I have taken you here because-" his words were disturbed by a grinning man standing in front of him. He willingly held Alois' hand and kissed it slowly. "My goodness, what a stunning lady you are. How I would love to spend the rest of my life with someone like you. I'm sure you have phenomenal seduction skills." Alois stayed still. I could tell by his facial expression and loss of reaction he was terrified of what this man might do to him. I can't allow that. Even thinking about makes me feel sick inside. So I slapped this annoying pedophile. already felt hatred for touching Alois, but seeing he was at least 30 years older than us made me even more angry. A simple smirk formed on Alois' face as he began unzipping the dress. I stared at him with great shock, what the hell does he think he is doing? The older man licked his lips at Alois' actions. "Come on girl, show me your breasts." he mumbled. Alois winked then pulled the top half of the dress down, holding the skirt at his hips. "What breasts?" he laughed exposing his bare chest. The old pervert moved away in disgust. He surely had no love interest in men. I smirked at him, what a smart technique. He zipped the dress back up as the man walked off glaring at him. I bowed at Alois. "May I have this dance?" I asked, giggling a bit. He looked at me, giggled, and said in a soft, quiet voice "Of course."

We danced together like two lovers at a wedding, only a few centimetres away from each other. His body was so close to mine I could already feel his warmth, I could already hear his pounding heart. "I have taken you here because it's my birthday." He said, finally answering the question I have asked all day. Before I could reply, he moved closer to me and stroked my cheek. My heartbeat was louder than it has ever been before, I parted my lips and put my free hand over his waist. I felt his soft lips approach mine, this gentle touch of his lips on mine left me feeling strangely aroused. Then he kissed me again, but this time not so gently. Playing with his tounge passionately, I was hungry for more and more Alois. Eventually, we stopped kissing and looked at each other romantically. I wanted to carry on, to go further. Before I could try, I noticed Alois' eyes close slowly, his legs weakened and he fell on the floor, unconscious. We were still attached, the handcuffed pulled me on my knees next to him. "Alois? Alois can you hear me? ALOIS?!" I trembled with fear. "SOMEONE FIND A DOCTOR! MY FRIEND HAS FAINTED!" My breathe was heavier now, my eyes sparkled with unreleased tears.
He just lay there unresponsive. His dress spread out across the floor along with his wig. People began crowded him and me, worrying and searching for someone who knows first aid. I was overreacting, I knew this. Seeing him in such a state filled my heart with pain and doubt. I stayed quiet for a few moments, then whispered to him.
"I'm in love with you, Alois."
