Amu wasn't sure what was worse.
That Sebastian was right that ignoring her urges was a bad idea or the fact that she was seriously considering asking him for help.
Ever since Sebastian touched her in the bath, Amu felt her tongue wet her lips each time she saw him. If Edward or Cheslock came to visit, it took a lot of mental concentration not to think about what it would be like to pin either of them to the ground to have her wicked way.
Amu thanked heavens she hadn't seen Ciel much as Sebastian continued to keep them apart actively, which was alright with her. Amu was unsure she could keep her emotions or urges at bay if she were in his proximity.
The pinkette groaned aloud from her place under the tree. She sat under the shade in solace, thinking over everything, but unbeknownst to her, a certain shinigami approached her stealthily. However, Kurosu noticed him and pointed it out to her bearer, who immediately turned in time to see Ronald Knox surrendering his hands.
"Wow, sharp, aren't you?"
Amu frowned; she didn't expect to see Ronald again. "What do you want?"
Ronald shrugs, stepping forward to sit next to her. The pinkette glared at him, but he just grinned at her put-off expression. "I heard you are a cambion."
Amu scowled irritably but listened as he explained that William T Spears had told him. Spears had encountered succubi before and asked Knox to investigate as her presence became more evident. When she asked him to explain, Ronald elaborated that all beings like themselves give off a kind of energy. Some people like Spears can sense that if they are strong enough.
Amu could feel a migraine coming on, "I haven't even had sex yet; how can my 'energy' stand out?"
Ronald blinked, looking at her."Do you have the urge to?"
Amu's face reddened enough for Ronald to interpret the truth. "Is there someone you want to give yourself to?"
The girl could not help it, Ciel appeared in her mind, and she swore inwardly. Amu's chest hurt just thinking about the fact that she could never be with Ciel.
Ronald observes her; too many emotions play on her face - making it hard to read her this time.
"Spears said you stand out so much because you're leaking pheromones like a spilt perfume bottle on a windy day. Either let yourself lose, or you'll get more attention than you can handle."
Amu buried her face in her hands; she wondered if her life would ever return to normal.
"What happened to that blonde guy you were with on the cruise? Midford right? Aren't you interested in him?"
Amu sighs deeply, "Edward is all right. Sweet even, but he's too self-conscious about his circumstances."
The teenager knew Edward would be too timid to touch her if she asked. Plus, she did not want to put Ciel in an awkward position.
Suddenly, Amu feels a kiss on the side of her head and turns to glare at Ronald, who smirks at her.
"If you want me to give you the time of your life, you know I'm up for it, princess."
A little while later, Cheslock walked into the Phatomhive Mansion's yard to find Amy looking forlorn as she sat under the tree on the grass. He tilts his head, more concerned than curious. When he finally reaches her, he realises she is asleep. The goth teen smiles at this and bends down on one knee in front of her. He brushes the strands of hair on her face behind her ear, Amu's face moving slightly so that her right cheek rests in his palm.
Cheslock swallows, the softness of her skin on his bare hand; he sits on both knees, looking at her breathing softly in her sleep. He leans in and lets his lips brush against her other cheek - his free hand resting on the tree's bark for support. However, he could only enjoy this for so long before another of Amy's suitors pulled him off, waking the pinkette with a jolt from the sound of Cheslock's body hitting the ground.
Amu's eyes widened seeing Edward and Cheslock screaming at each other; Amu took a moment to listen and realised that Edward was accusing Cheslock of being inappropriate while she slept.
What could that mean?
Cheslock explained that he had just kissed her cheek while she slept, which only caused Edward's face to turn red; Amu dashed forward and pushed Cheslock out of the way, narrowly escaping Edward's attempt at a swing. "Stop it! Both of you!"
The pinkette stood between them as the two boys tried to rush at each other; she elbowed Edward hard and stepped on Cheslock's foot, causing them to fall back in pain. "Edward, as much as I appreciate the chivalry, we are not in a courtship, so calm down!"
She turns, her eyes ablaze, "What possessed you to kiss me in my sleep, Lock?"
"Could you blame him? You are abnormally enticing, Amelia."
Amu rubbed at her temples, turning to see Sebastian smirking triumphantly.
Where did he come from?
"I came to see what all the noise was about. Pity, it was all over a mere kiss on the cheek."
Amu rolls her eyes and folds her arms irritably, making Sebastian smirk wider, "I will escort these gentlemen out; you may return to your room to spend the rest of your break time."
The pinkette did not argue there; she just wanted to be alone. She left quickly, leaving the three males looking warily at each other.
Amu practically growled when she returned to her room, startling the guardian characters playing together. Kurosu looked worried, unsure what to say, but Cyan approached first instead, cautious of the murderous expression on the bearer's face, "Amulet?"
The pinkette closes her eyes; the timid voice of Ciel's guardian character was enough to give her a second to simmer down. "I'm sorry if I startled you, Cyan."
Cyan smiles shyly and flies forward to hug her cheek, "It's okay! It'll get better!"
Amu smiles at his innocence and cradles his body with her right palm, enjoying the warmth of his sweet nature. Kurosu blinked as she saw the Humpty Lock glow underneath Amu's blouse. Sieran caught on first, about to shout, but it was too late.
A blinding light took over the room.
Ciel did not know what made him rush from his study to Amu's room, a command in his head - telling him he had to get to the room.
When he opens the door, he is momentarily blinded. When the glaring light finally dies out, he opens his eye and gulps at the sight of his maid.
Amu was now in a pastel blue dress - a lace corset with a very short skirt with frills. She had thigh-high light blue and white socks and blue-heeled shoes. Ciel only recognised the familiar fake star face mark and hat he wore in his 'Smile' costume.
Ciel and Amu finally looked at each other, and there was so much emotion in her honey-coloured eyes that Ciel attempted to look unaffected by her state of dress, but damn, it was hard. He faltered. Slowly, Amu raised her arms to cover her chest and turned away slightly, and Ciel realised with a reddening face that it was because the corset was see-through at her abdomen area, below the bust. He coughs, trying to regain his composure.
Sieran watches with pride as Ciel removes his jacket and covers up the pinkette himself. Ciel bends on one knee, looking at her in concern.
"What happened here?"
"I d-don't know."
"We merged! We transformed together! It's an honour, Amulet!"
Ciel looked around, hearing Cyan's voice but stopped when Amu moved her hand to touch his. She explained that Cyan was inside of her now, temporarily only, which reminded him that she mentioned she had transformed with guardian characters, not her own before.
Slowly, Ciel helped Amu to her feet, and Amu could tell that her outfit affected him because his face was so red, and he seemed to be trying hard not to look. Amu was a little happy he was trying his hardest to be a gentleman. Ciel wanted to remain indifferent but could not hide his embarrassment and how his eyes travelled repeatedly on her body.
"You do look beautiful, though. But then again, you always are. I bet you could make even a paper bag look attractive."
Amu laughed, "Good joke Phantomhive."
"I am being perfectly serious."
Amu smiles at him, and Ciel returns it, her hands warm in his. "I so badly want to kiss you, may I?"
Amu blushes and lowers her eyes shyly, but then there's a knock on the door, interrupting her before she can speak.
Ciel turns, and Amu bolts for the closet and shuts it quickly to hide. Cheslock and Edward enter together impatiently, confused seeing Ciel there.
"Where's Amy?"
Ciel scoffed, "She is not here, is she?"
Cheslock frowns, a little irritated, "You could tell us where she is, couldn't you?"
"Here she is."
The three nobles turned to see Sebastian open the closet door, and the pinkette stumbled out, still Character Transformed with Cyan.
Kurosu watched in concern as Amu's eyes glowed pink as she faced the floor. She breathed, relieved that Amu managed to stop herself from falling face first but continued to be concerned by her eye colour.
Amu covered her eyes with her hat; she swore she could feel a heat burning behind her eyes as somehow she sensed the heart rate of the males in the room quickening rapidly at the sight of her. Slowly, she sits up, giving the men a grand eyeful of her abdomen in the see-through lace and her growing breasts more evident than ever in the strapless corset.
Sebastian licked his lips, his eyes glowing pink, too - this girl looked delicious. The usually calm butler could feel a burning need roar in his belly to pick her up, take her to his room and fuck her senselessly in his bed.
Sebastian clears his throat and bends slightly to reluctantly button Ciel's jacket on the girl, covering her up better. He turns, his eyes back to the standard colour as he observes the mixed expression on the student's faces. "We should clear the room."
Later, Sebastian paced in his room, distraught. The three suitors were unhappy at being brought out of the room, but when Sebastian pointed out that Amy was embarrassed in her dress with the men's brazen staring, they reluctantly complied.
Sebastian groaned, running his hands on his face - he was stiff now just thinking about the girl's large doe-like eyes, soft skin and petite figure.
That girl is terrifying. He could not imagine what kind of seductress she would become if she stopped abstaining. Sebastian could feel his hunger gnawing at him, practically demanding he storms into her room, rip the skirt off that girl and fuck her on the floor.
With a grunt, he moved to bolt his door before taking off the belt of his trousers.
Ciel was in his room, burying his face im his hands, the top of his head on the floor, his legs on the bed. Ciel intended to make the blood rush back to his brain after the ordeal with Amu in her blue dress. Sieran chuckles darkly above his head.
"It's not funny."
"Yet, I am laughing."
Ciel lifted his head to shoot a glare at his guardian character.
"Why was Cyan transformed with Amu, to begin with?"
Sieran smirked, "Amulet relaxed after Cyan came over to greet her. That tender moment caused the transformation."
Ciel blinked, confused, "Why Cyan?"
"Well, Cyan looks like you. He blatantly shows he cares for the feelings of others and is usually pretty pleasant. Cyan is fairly likeable."
The earl frowns, "Is Cyan coming back?"
"Wow! I didn't know you missed me, Ciel!" The two turned to see Cyan floating into the room through the window.
"How is Amulet?" Sieran asks.
"She's a little emotional, but all right."
"Emotional?"
Cyan waved his hands, trying to calm his bearer, "She's embarrassed about the transformation appearance but also a little happy. She didn't think she could transform again."
"How come?"
"She hasn't transformed with Kurosu yet, so she was surprised."
Sieran smirks, "That witch, Kurosu, must have been pissed."
Cyan laughs nervously, "She was jealous but happier for Amulet. I could sense Amulet was ecstatic about being able to transform again."
Ciel frowned. It took him a while to digest all this, "Would I be able to transform with either of you?"
Sieran shrugged, "Possibly. Provided you are more honest about your feelings.
Ciel scowled, "I already told her I love her. What else do I need to be open about?"
The two characters shared a look before turning to face their bearer. Then, it clicked in Ciel's head.
I need to break off the engagement with Lizzy.
