Cheslock rubbed his face against Amy's hair and kissed her temple with his arms wrapped around her middle - her back against his naked chest. He wonders if all that happened earlier was a dream.

Cheslock and Amy had kissed multiple times. He had taken off her socks to touch and kiss her slim, bare legs as she mewled his name. Amy had swallowed his seed as he gave her an orgasm with his fingers. The way she moaned and panted his name was going to burn into Cheslock's memory forever. It had to be a dream.

Cheslock gently moved his right hand to pinch the skin of his left, stirring Amy's attention. "Did you fall asleep?"

Cheslock smirked, lifting his head to meet her eye level, "Is it possible to sleep with a girl like you in my embrace?"

Amy giggled, "Always the sweet talker."

Cheslock couldn't help it; every sound that came out of this girl was so adorable - he leaned in and kissed her again. The both of them close their eyes, and Amy moves to lie on her back so Cheslock can move on top of her again, but there is a knock on the door.

They break apart reluctantly, and Amy answers curtly.

"You've had enough fun, little girl. Master Kay's carriage is here."

Cheslock groans, hearing Sebastian's voice, running a hand through his voluminous hair. He purses his lips, irritable, until he notices his shirt gently pressing against him. Then he realizes Amy has picked it up from the floor and is giving it to him. Cheslock smirked, kissing her head in thanks before they pulled apart to get dressed.

Ciel waited by the entrance, seeing Cheslock leave. Strangely, Sebastian escorted him to his carriage instead of Amu, and he was curious to know why.

"I heard Lizzie was here?"

Ciel turns just in time to see his maid approaching him, "Yes, she was."

"Did you have a good time together?"

Ciel sighed, "If you mean watching her recount how awful Sieran treated her in my last Character Change, then yes, it was intolerable."

Amu shakes her head. "We told you your guardian characters would inform you if they forced a character change on you. Otherwise, it happens because you brought it on yourself if you have an internal conflict about your actions/thoughts."

Ciel scowls, "I still don't get why I have them."

"You can think of it as every child's rite of passage - the guardian characters are your support and motivation to be the most authentic version of yourself."

Ciel turns, noticing Amu's warm yet slightly melancholic expression. "I'm sorry. I spoke rashly—you told me you lost your characters before."

"It's fine, Ciel." Amu waved it off; his sincerity and remorse were transparent.

The young earl sighed; everything was just a mess today, 'Would you come by my room tonight? I can't remember the last time we had some time together."

Amu tried not to smile, "You mean to kiss me or have meaningful conversations like our first night in your room?"

Ciel smirked, "I can't help but think that your lips are just captivating. Mind you, I have been trying not to hunt you down to kiss your pretty mouth for ages."

Amu blinked; she turned and noticed Ciel's hexagram-shaped studs. She lifted her head but couldn't see Cyan or Sieran anywhere. She blinked, realizing it was her first time talking to Ciel in his character change without a temper. She decided to keep the conversation going.

"Why try Ciel? What's stopping you from approaching me? Does your butler have that much control over you?"

Ciel's eyes practically smouldered at her words, "No one controls me."

"Yet you let him keep us apart for so long. If you hated it, you would have sought me out alone, but you didn't. What am I supposed to think?"

"There is nothing to think about; you know I love you, for fuck's sake. It is you that won't accept it."

Amu couldn't help but blush at his words, "You've admitted to keeping me at arm's length because of your contract with Sebastian, and let's not forget that your engagement with Lizzy is still ongoing. We just-"

"-can never be together because of your cambion status? For fuck's sake, if being tied down as your love servant is all you're worried about, trust me when I tell you that no man with a sane mind could ever say no. I love you, Amu, and nothing will change my mind."

The pinkette turned only to find her master's lips against her own; she closed her eyes as they kissed fervently, finding herself pressed against him as he manoeuvred her backwards into the wall. They were in the corridor, and no one would have been wiser. Ciel breaks the kiss, and Amu lets out a tiny yelp of surprise as Ciel suddenly grabs her thighs without warning. Ciel's grip was firm, and with a start, Amu realized they were the same height now because she wasn't wearing her heeled shoes.

Ciel tilted his head and started kissing her neck slowly, his fingers imprinting onto her legs with his grip. Amu bit her lip, trying her best not to make another sound with Ciel's knee between her thighs, forcing her in place. Ciel grunted, a little irritated by her lack of control and because he could smell another man's scent on her skin.

Cheslock Kay

Ciel knew this scent because Cheslock had worn it frequently. He kept it subtle most of the time, but it was noticeable enough to fill your nose if you were near him. Ciel clicks his tongue before nipping at Amu's throat in distaste for his jealousy. There, she started to whimper.

"No one can have you but me. I want to be your only, Amu."

"M-master"

Ciel's breath hitched, his pants tightened, and he was already pressed against Amu so that she could feel it, too.

"Fuck Amu, do you enjoy teasing me that much?"

Amu couldn't help it, and her lips trembled - there was a burning desire in her belly to lift her uniform and feel his hard-on properly between her legs. Amu's eyes turned pink, her eyelashes fluttering.

"M-master, we should s-stop."

Ciel lifted his face, meeting her eyes, and Amu could see how flushed he was. "Am I an awful person for wanting you to want me?"

"Of course, I want you to Ciel, but we-"

"-can't? I hate hearing those words from your mouth. Your vocabulary needs to change, Amu." chastises the earl.

"I'm just being practical."

"I'm pretty sure my father once said that love can never be rational, so why should we?"

Amu blinked in surprise; Ciel rarely ever talked about his parents.

"My, aren't you insatiable today, little girl?"

Amu lifted her head to see Sebastian, but Ciel was not moving from his position; she winced as she felt his fingertips press even deeper into her thighs. "I kissed her first, Sebastian; why don't you ever fucking listen and leave us be?"

Sebastian smirked as if his earl's temper were amusing. "I am your manservant. I am keeping you from doing anything foolish that could besmirch the Phantomhive's name."

Ciel turned his head, but Amu cupped his cheek, stopping him from facing her. Ciel marvelled at the change in her eye colour and wondered what that was about. She lifted her head and kissed his ear, ending his character change. Ciel's expression didn't falter, but his eyes softened somewhat.

"May I go and set the table for dinner, milord?"

"I'd prefer to lock you in my room and tie the key to my neck instead."

Amu laughed, her eyes returning to their regular, golden-honey shade, "I would never let you milord. Come on now."

After a moment, Ciel sighed, unable to hold his ground with her looking at him so expectantly, and backed up. Amu smoothed out her uniform skirt, smiling contentedly. She thanked him with a curtsy and walked away, much to Ciel's disappointment.

"Milord, if it's any consolation, your hands are sure to have left an imprint on her thighs for a fair amount of time."

Ciel cleared his throat, remembering the feel of Amu's soft skin in his hands tugging at his heart. "Whenever she undresses, she will see those marks and think of you instantly."

Ciel sputtered - the visual image was evident in his mind, and Sebastian resisted the urge to laugh. Oh, how fun it was to tease.
