It was lightly snowing outside. Christmas would be arriving very soon.

It's been around 2 weeks since you first stayed here. You were getting a little used to everyone.

Alois still slept with you but you didn't even care anymore.

You sat by the window reading a book with sipping on tea. You shared your interest in books with Alois and he ordered Claude buy you all the books you wanted.

He was so caring sometimes. Other times he could be a complete pain in the ass.

You set down your steamy cup. Your arm still soar. It was scabbed over all the cuts. It didn't look pretty but what could you so about it?

You peered out the window noticing Claude sitting in the snow covered garden. He looked like he was knitting.

Didn't he ever get cold? He was always so mysterious to you. It was like he wasn't even human.

The Christmas festival was that night. You were exited as you have never attended a festival

The hours went by fast and hannah appeared in your doorway.

You couldn't take your eyes on her left eye. It was bandaged with white cloth. Poor hannah....

"You will be attending the Christmas festival I assume?" She walked across the room and laid a perfectly folded dress onto your bed.

"Yes I am! I'm very exited!" You say smiling at her.

Hannah was like an older sister to you. She was so kind and gentle. You didn't like her always being ordered around.

"Allow me to help you into your dress and corset" she exclaimed picked the contents back up.

"I'll think I'll be fine" you say to her. "You should come too hannah" she quickly shook her head. "I can't disobey the masters orders."

You just nodded sadly. You didn't want her to have more punishment than she had already had.

You tried on the beautiful dress yourself and looked into the mirror at your reflection. It was a gorgeous (f/c) dress with a ribbon in the back. It had frills along the edges.

You stared at yourself wide eyed. Never before had you worn something this elegant.

You walked out of your room down the long staircase with hannah beside you. You would be meeting with Alois at this time.

His eyes seemed like they were looking around for you. He then spotted you and his face froze looking at you.

"(F/n) you look so pretty" he eyes your dress and face. You blushed. "Thank you so much. That means a lot." You reply.

(1 hour time skip)

You were in the carriage riding to the festival with Claude and Alois. The boy sat beside you continuing to stare at your beauty. You tried to ignore it by looking out the carriage window.

"What do most people do at festivals?" You ask him. You have only heard of them in newspapers.

"They are so much fun! There are performers and vendors and lots of food" Alois rambled on about all the different events.

You arrived quite some time later and stepped out if the carriage. You heard people laughing, singing yelling. It was a beautiful sight.

The quiet snow was falling gently onto the frozen earth.

"Oh I forgot! Ciels birthday was last week!" He screamed face palming.

"Ciel?" You ask turned to him. He looked at your curious face and childishly stuck out his tongue.

You had noticed when you first met him the odd design printed on his tongue he never really explained it to you.

"You must meet him!" Alois beamed at you. He grabbed your wrist and pulled you towards the first vendors table.

"But first lets enjoy this festival" he giggled his familiar giggle.

The vendor was selling beautiful rings. There were so many options and colors.

Alois's eyes sparkled at all the different shapes and sizes the booth had to offer.

He quickly picked up two rings. They were gorgeous. They both looked like golden spider rested on the ring with a blue gem in the middle.

"Claude buy these two rings" Alois ordered. Claude nodded and bought the rings.

You couldn't stop staring at them. They sparkled in the frosty air.

Alois extended his pointer finger and slid in on. It looked perfect beside his other ring he wore on his thumb.

He then grabbed your hand and slid the other one on your finger.

"Now when people see that ring they will know you belong to me." He smiled his innocent smile.

I belonged to him? What did that mean?

You knew he loves you but really? He was very sweet. You glanced at your finger admiring the beautiful detail.

"Thank you Alois" you grabbed his hand.

Your rings glittered in the winter sun.
