Chapter 10 - A new friend

"(F/N)! Wake up! You have a guest!" Michelle's voice from downstairs woke me up from me sleep. I sat up and stretched before getting out of bed. I pulled my hair into a messy pony tail (if you have short hair, you added a headband) and wore one of the new dresses I bought. After checking that I was ready to take on the day, I walked downstairs.

"Ah! Good Morning (F/N)!" I looked up and let out a gasp.

"A-Alois! Good morning!" I said as I gave him a wave. Alois walked up to me, which made me stiffin. "C-Can I help you?"

"Let's hang out today, just you and me." Alois said as he was an inches away from my face. My lips turned into an awkward smile as a backed up from him.

"Sorry, I can't. Ciel and I are attending a ball today. Maybe some other day?"

"No, it should be today." Alois replied, walking closer to me.

"W-well.."

*RING*

Alois and I turned out head toward the door when the doorbell rang. My awkward smile grew even more awkward.

It was Ciel at the door.

"A-Ah! Ciel!" I said trying to make thing not more awkward than it already was. Ciel ran up to Alois and grabbed his collar.

"What are you doing here Trancy?!" Ciel yelled.

"Visiting my favorite person (F/N), is that wrong?" Alois said with a smirk. "I've invited (F/N) to spend the day with me today."

"She can't, she's spending the day with me." Ciel shot back. I walked over to Michelle and sat down next to her, letting out a sigh.

"Tough having boys fight over you huh?" Michelle asked as she let out a chuckle. I nodded and placed my head on the counter.

"Yep, they've always been like this though." I said as I watched the two boy argue.

"So that means you can't take (F/N)." Ciel said standing up straight, looking at Alois. Alois stood up straight and looked at Ciel.

"Then let me join the two of you!" Alois said with a smile.

"What!" Ciel cried as Alois started walking toward me. I looked at him and squeaked when he picked me up. "Let her go!"

"It wouldn't hurt to have one more person join you two today would it?" Alois suggested as he looked at me with a smile, waiting for an answer. I looked at CIel and he frowned at the idea.

"I guess it would hurt, just for one day." I replied and Ciel sighed heavily. Alois let me go and I walked over to Ciel. "You'll be okay Ciel." I smiled.

The ball was starting in a few hours so I got myself ready in advance because it takes me a while to get ready. I wore a violet dress that went about the knee and some white heels, with my hair also in a bun (if your hair is short, you had some hair accessories).

I walked outside and Ciel and Alois were there waiting for me, both of them nicely dressed. Ciel walked up to me and held out his hand for me to hold, as I was about to place my hand on top of Ciel's, Alois pushed him and he took my hand giving me a nice smile. I smiled back and gave Ciel a sympathetic smile before entering the carriage.

When we entered the carriage, Alois sat right next to me, Ciel sitting in front of us with an unamused face.

"You look lovely (F/N)!" Alois complimented. I blushed.

"Thank you, you look nice as well!" I replied.

"So, do you want to have the first dance with me?" Alois asked, Ciel gasping.

"Absolutely not! Her first dance will be with me!" Ciel said to Alois.

"Fine, I'll let you have the first dance, but her second dance will be with me."

"It's just a dance boys.." I said trying to cease the tension in the room. They both looked at me before turning away, making me sweat drop.

'This is going to be a long night..'

Once we got to the ball, we walked up the stairs to the main room where everybody was. Ciel and Alois were busy talking to people about being Earl or a highness, so I drifted off around the room trying to kill my boredom.

I found a young boy around my age that was alone so I walked over to him. He had dark brown hair and some glasses that framed his face nicely.

"How are you liking the ball so far?" I asked standing next to him. He jumped a little but soon went back to normal.

"It's okay.." He said softly

"So, what brings you here to this ball?" I asked

"My parents are hosting it so I have to attend..." He said shyly, he was not the talker. I let out a little chuckle and he looked at me.

"I didn't introduce myself, I'm (F/N)."

"Asher.."

"Nice to meet you Asher," I smiled as I stuck my hand out and he shook it. "I like that name." He looked at me and looked really shocked and he didn't know what to do, which freaked me out. I put my hands in front of me and started waving them back and forth.

"Ah! Sorry! I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable!" I said panicking. He looked at me before letting out a small chuckle and even a smile! I thought it was super cute.

"It's okay, I'm just not good with people."

"You don't have to be uncomfortable around me! I'm a really nice person!"

"That's good." Asher says as he looks at the people in the center of the ball room. Soon the music starts and there were people dancing in the middle, Asher looked around, as if he was looking for somebody.

"Are you waiting for your dance partner?" I asked.

"Ah, no. I don't have one." He replied looking down. I bit my lip, hesitating or not if I should ask him. I looked around trying to look for Ciel and Alois. they looked busy still. 

"Well, do you want to dance with me then?" I asked. He looked at me and blushed.

"Don't you have a dance partner?"

"Well, yeah, but they're busy right now so it wouldn't matter."

"Alright, I guess.." He replied as he followed me to the ballroom dance floor.

"Great." I said as he placed his hand around my waist and held my hand.

-

Asher and I just finished dancing and we walked back to where we were before. I really liked talking to him, he was a really nice guy. I was about to say something until we someone came between us.

"C-Ciel!"

"What are you doing with (F/N)?!" Ciel yelled. Asher took a step back as he was stuttering, trying to find a way to respond.

"Ciel, wait!"

"W-We we're just talking! Th-That's it!" Asher replied.

"What was that dance then?!" Ciel asked grabbing his tie. Ciel was about throw a punch at him until i grabbed his arm. Ciel looked at me frustrated.

"Ciel, I asked him to dance with me. Don't hurt him." I said as I looked Ciel dead in the eye. He sighed and let go of Asher, we had a scared look on his face. I walked over to Asher and apologized.

"Sorry Asher."

"It's okay. Well, I'll see you around i guess." He said before walking away. I sighed and looked over at Ciel. Alois running over to us.

"What was that?!" He asked excitedly.

"What?" Ciel said to Alois.

"You were so jealous, you were going to fight that boy!"

"I was not!" Ciel cried flustered.

"You were," I said and earned a glare from Ciel. "But that means you care and love me." I replied.

"W-Whatever.."

"Just stop assuming too much Ciel." I replied sighing, making Alois chuckle. I guess Ciel can be really attached to me too.
