Red is the Color of Blood

     Even though you only had one glass of wine, your mind was still fuzzy. Sebastian kept a hand on your back as you walked to where Madam Red was. Sebastian knocked on the door. "Come in." Ciel grumbled. Sebastian opened the door, following closely behind you.
"Ah, (F/n), it's lovely to finally meet you!" A lady in all red hurried over to you, leaving Ciel standing on the stool in the center of the room. She took your hands in hers and shook them. "I've heard so much about you!"
You smiled back. "It's nice to meet you too,... uh..."
The lady turned around "You haven't told her who I am?" She asked Ciel, disappointed.
Ciel crossed his arms. "I did tell her."
Sebastian leaned down next to your ear. "That is Madam Red. The young master's aunt." He whispered.
You stood there staring at her. 'She really likes the color red... its almost like... blood...' She started to blush. "Wh-What?" She asked, a little annoyed.
Sebastian put a hand on your shoulder. "My apologies, Madam Red. Miss (F/n) is a bit... out of sorts today."
Madam Red breathed a sigh of relief and walked back to Ciel. "Oh, that's alright! We all have our days." She took the last measurement of Ciel and motioned him to get down. "Alright! Your turn, (F/n)!"
Sebastian helped Ciel put the rest of his clothes on as you stepped up onto the stool, wobbling a little. Madam Red laughed a little. "You've got to take your clothes off, silly!"
You blushed. 'I-In front of Sebastian and Ciel?' You thought, slowly reaching around your back to undo your dress. Your shaky fingers and clouded consciousness caused you to lean a little and stumble off of the stool. You closed your eyes, bracing for the impact that never came. You opened your eyes to see Sebastian staring down at you. "Are you alright?"
You nodded. "Y-Yes... I... I may need some help..." You said, blushing harder.
Sebastian set you back on the stool and started to help you undress. Ciel hurried out of the room but Madam Red stood there, almost drooling. When Sebastian had removed everything but your undergarments, He cleared his throat. "Madam Red, it's best to take her measurements before she collapses." He said, smirking, still holding onto your arm to keep you steady.
Madam Red shook her head to clear it. "Y-Yes of course!" She said, grabbing a tape measure. Sebastian was by your side the entire time to make sure you didn't fall.

When you were finished, the three of you saw Madam Red off and breathed a sigh of relief, knowing she was gone. You slumped into the chair in Ciel's office. Ciel gave Sebastian a slight glare. "I thought I told you to keep an eye on her." He growled.
Sebastian smirked. "And I did. Your order was for me to, "Keep a close eye on her.", Master. I believe I have followed your orders to the letter."
Ciel grit his teeth. "Fine. New order: (F/n) is not to consume any alcohol. Understood?"
Sebastian started to bow until you interrupted. "Wait, you can't do that!" You complained.
Ciel stood up from his chair. "As a matter of fact, I can. I was ordered to keep an eye on you, and that is what I intend to do. You will not go anywhere outside of the manor without me, or Sebastian. Do I make myself clear?"
You were not happy at all with this. "But-"
"I am the master of this house, and I will make the rules! Sebastian, take her to her room! NOW!" He shouted.
Before you could speak, Sebastian picked you up and took you out of the room. "Put me down!" You commanded, struggling to get out of his grip.
"I apologize, Lady (F/n), but I cannot put you down until we get to your room." He stated.
When you got to your room, Sebastian put you down on your feet. "I am sorry for my masters sudden outburst." Sebastian said, bowing.
You crossed your arms and turned away from him, not saying anything. The room was silent for a moment until you sighed. "I... I remember My father... looked just like the man in that picture."
"The previous Earl. The Young Master's father. I don't recall him having any other children, though. Even the Young Master would've remembered you."
You plopped down on your bed, ungracefully. "Why does everything have to be a mystery?"
Sebastian chuckled, pulling your nightgown out of the closet. "I'm not sure, My lady." He said, tying a blindfold over his eyes.
After he helped you get dressed, you laid down in your bed with the covers up to your chin.
"Goodnight, Lady (F/n)." Sebastian whispered, blowing out the candles, leaving you alone in the darkness.
