Hey guys! Thank you for your support so far. I appreciate it. Thank you for all of you who contributed in some way to my story, and thank you to all you who are reading this. I'm sorry for not updating in a while, I have had a very busy week. I hope to update more often in the future.

I got a request for Alois x Claude, and I'm sorry to say that I already have a separate pairing for both Alois and Claude, and making that pairing would mean rewriting the entire story. I'm sorry to whoever wanted that pairing, but Alois x Claude won't be happening in this story. If you had requested it within the time I had posted the first chapter, I could have changed it, but it's too late, I don't want to rearrange the whole plot. Again, I apologise. Please enjoy this chapter.

Claude dragged Mey- Rin to the ballroom. It was dark and empty. "Do you mind dancing in the dark, or do you want the lights on?"

Dancing in the dark, sounds scandalous, thought Mey- Rin. "I'm fine with either."

Claude's expression remained stoic. "I prefer the dark. Come on, I'll show you the basic moves."

The couple walked to the center of the dance floor. Claude beckoned Mey- Rin to come closer. Mey- Rin blushed and obliged happily. "The first thing you must do, is make sure you have a partner. To ask a partner, traditionally, the man bows to the woman, and asks if he may have the dance. He will then kiss her hand, and then take it. The man will bow, the woman will curtsy. Then, the couple begins to dance. Let's give it a try."

Claude stood in front of her, and bowed. "May I have this dance?"

Mey- Rin blushed. "Y-yes, Claude."

Claude kissed her hand ever so gently, and then took it. Claude bowed, and Mey- Rin curtsied. They started to dance. Being the klutz she was, Mey- Rin tripped, and Claude had to catch her. After practicing for two hours, Claude decided this session was up. He went back to his dorm, and Mey- Rin returned to hers.

Claude POV

Claude opened the door to his dorm, to find Sebastian cuddling with his cat. He had made a deal with Sebastian that he wouldn't tattle about his cat, and Sebastian wouldn't tattle about his pet black widow. Claude opened his closet, and brought out the plastic box that held Muffet in it. He put Muffet on the window sill, and Muffet ate the dead bugs that lay there. "Good little Muffet," said Claude.

Then, Claude decided to go and watch some TV, since he didn't have anything else to do. He went into the living room, only to find the new kid, supposedly Lizzy's cousin, sleeping on the couch.

Not caring if he woke the kid up, he yelled to his roommate,"Please tell me you didn't sleep with this kid, Sebastian."

Ciel bolted up, screaming,"Please don't rape me!"

Claude stared. "What the fuck?"

Then, something very rare happened. Claude started laughing. "Hahaha... you thought I would rape you? Hahahahaha! That's hilarious!"

Claude was almost out of breath. He fell on the floor, clutching his stomach from laughter. Sebastian stared. Ciel stared.

"Claude... you can laugh?"

Claude regained his stoic self. "Of course. But only if something is hilarious. Like... that kid thinking I'll rape him."

"It wouldn't shock me if you did," Sebastian mumbled.

"Anyway, Lizzy's cousin, what are you doing here?"

"I was getting tutored."

Claude smirked. "Tutored in what, exactly?"

"Waltzing, of course. What did you think I was being tutored in?"

"That, shorty, is something you don't want to know."

The atmosphere was thick with awkwardness, so much so that you could take a bite out of it.

Ciel coughed. "Well, I'll be going. See you around."

He quickly left the room. Sebastian sighed. "Are you socially awkward?"

Claude glared. Then his expression softened. "To be honest, I don't know."

Sebastian yawned. "I'm going to bed. If you're gonna watch something, use low volume."

"Sure."

But Claude had other things on his mind.

A/N: What does Claude have on his mind? Send me PM's if you want something specific to happen. Review if you want. Thanks for reading!
