-Noah's Ark Circus-First Stringer Tents-
"Y/N?" Dagger quietly grumbled when feeling a shift on his mattress.
Said female was sitting on the edge of his cot, her long (H/C) hair was let loose from its usual (Hairstyle), and she wore the plain white nightgown that all the female circus performers wore to bed. She had her knees pulled up to her chest, and her face was hidden in her knees.
Dagger gently reached out and tugged Y/N to lay beside him. It was not an unusual occurrence, as the two often cuddled when one or the other had had a nightmare during the past nine years of knowing each other.
It was never seen as something romantic between the two, but more as something friendly.
"What's the matter?" Murmured Dagger, closing his eyes while listening to what the female had to say.
The blond instantly tensed when he felt Y/N's hands cupped his warm cheeks with her cool hands. "Dagger, can you look at me?" She questioned softly.
Hesitantly, Dagger opened his blue eyes, and looked at the female's own (E/C).
The two said nothing, as Dagger stared at Y/N while she gently ran her fingers over his face, as if trying to remember every detail.
"Siren?" Dagger, slightly more awake, finally spoke up, looking at her concerned.
Y/N seemed to be pulled out of a trance, as she shook her head and smiled at the male assuringly. "Everyone is angry with me." She told him in a soft whisper.
"No they're not, no one could be mad at you." Dagger denied almost immediately.
Y/N gave him an unamused expression.
Dagger chuckled. "Well, maybe Jumbo and Peter, and some of the female side shows, but no one else." He told her assuringly.
Y/N hummed softly, curling up in Dagger's arms and burying her face into his clothed chest. "I feel as if I did something horrible to Beast." She admitted softly.
"You'd never do anything to hurt Beast." Dagger denied.
"Not intentionally." Y/N agreed, messing with the strings of his night shirt.
"What'd you do? Mess up one of her shirts?" Dagger grinned down at her.
Y/N paused her twiddling with the strings, which caused Dagger to begin to worry.
"Joker and I...kissed." She finally told him.
"What?!" Dagger yelled in surprise as he sat up, causing Y/N to sit up as well.
"I don't know, we were shouting one second and the next we were staring into the others eyes..." Y/N's voice cracked as she looked at the blond with an expression of a kicked puppy. "Beast saw, but I had no control over it! And now I can't find her anywhere." She explained.
Dagger sighed, running his fingers through his already messed up locks.
"Dagger." Y/N whispered, grabbing one of his hands. "What do I do?" She whispered.
The male looked at the female that sat in front of him. Her (E/C) irises were glistened, and her pink lips were quivering.
"Wait till morning to figure it out." He insisted, tugging her back into his embrace and laying down with her close to him. "Everything will be better by tomorrow, I promise." He whispered.
Y/N hesitantly nodded, a pink hue dusting her cheeks as she felt Dagger's lips press against her forehead.
The two stayed up for another hour, staying quiet and lost in their individual thoughts, before falling asleep eventually.

-Morning-
"Sebastian!" Y/N shouted, running up to the demon as he carried Ciel in his arms towards the exit of the circus.
The dark haired butler paused and turned to the Forbidden Triplets as they approached him.
"You're taking us with you." Ordered Richard.
"Oh, am I?" Sebastian asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Elf can help Ciel with his health." Y/N told him. "Do this much for your poor master." She added, almost mockingly.
Sebastian sighed, as if in annoyance. "Very well then."

-Town House-
"Ciel!" Shouted Prince Sama, pointing at the young earl in accusation. "Where have you been?! You left for two days without a word! And on top of that, you bring three hobos with you!" He exclaimed, causing the Forbidden Triplets to feel slightly offended, though they didn't act on it.
"Welcome." Agni greeted the trio calmly.
"That's none of your affair." Ciel sleepily stated, before coughing into his hand.
"What's wrong? You look pale!" Prince Soma exclaimed as the five walked into the building.
"It's nothing serious. Just leave me be." Ciel stated in a harsh tone.
"Nothing serious? You have asthma, Lord Phantomhive." Thaddeus seemed to scold.
"So it is serious!" Prince Soma exclaimed. "You probably have a fever!" He said while following up the stairs with the others.
"No! My temperature is fine!" Ciel denied.
"You're lying!" The Indian prince whined.
"No, I'm not!" Ciel once more denied.
"Ciel!" Prince Soma cried out, as Sebastian closed the door on the four -Thaddeus being the only other in the room-.
"I apologize for my master's behavior." Agni apologized to Y/N and Richard. "I am Agni, and this is Prince Soma." He introduced, while the purple haired male had a tantrum for not being able to go into the room.
"It's fine, we haven't introduced ourselves either." Richard assured. "I am Richard, this is Y/N, and the one in the room with Lord Phantomhive is Thad." He introduced for them.
"I apologize for just barging in." Y/N said, taking her hood off and letting her hair flow over her shoulders, and lowering Joker's scarf she continued to wear, which showed her face to the two new males.
Both immediately blushed.
"I-It's ok!" Prince Soma assured. "This is actually Ciel's, so I guess as long as you had come in with him, it's not really barging in!" He stated.
"Wait a minute, you can't do that!" Thad's shout caused the group to jump in surprise as the door was opened, and Ciel stepped out, fully dressed in his work attire.
Agni immediately barred the entrance with his body, making it unable for Ciel to leave the room.
"Not so fast, Ciel! This town house is under my supervision, you will not escape it so easily~" Soma grinned triumphantly, peeking around Agni.
Ciel looked annoyed, while Y/N and Richard hid their laughter as they stood back in the hallway.
"Whatever you say, I know you got a nasty cold, and as Viceroy of this estate and your dear friend, I cannot allow you to venture out in your current state." The Indian stated, looking remarkably concerned for the younger male*.
"Don't be daft. And when were we dear friends?" Ciel questioned, somehow managing to leave the room.
"Agni! Do not allow Ciel to pass you!" Soma exclaimed.
While Agni began to unwrap his hand, Y/N stepped in and placed her hands on Ciel's shoulders, which was quite difficult since he was a bit taller than her, and grinned at the males. "Now, that's a bit uncalled for, don't you think?" She questioned.
"Exactly! I have work to do, and I don't have time for these ignorant games!" Ciel shouted, smacking Y/N's hands away, before coughing into his fist. "Now step aside!" He managed to choke out, pointing his cane at Agni and Soma.
"Lord Phantomhive, it'd be best if you stayed in bed." Thaddeus gently tried to persuade the male.
"Indeed! The sick's only job is to stay in bed and be looked after." Soma agreed with the white haired performer.
Before Ciel could talk back, he began to cough once more.
"My lord, please rest. Your symptoms suggest that you suffer from asthma. You cannot possibly be well in this state." Agni worriedly told Ciel.
"Don't presume to touch me!" Ciel complained, smacking Agni away with his cane, before turning to his demon butler. "Sebastian, get these two out of my way." He ordered.
"Very good, my young lord." Sebastian agreed.
Before he could do anything though, he paused as Agni began to scold him. "Sebastian, you should hang your head in shame! You call yourself Lord Phantomhives scansama (sp?)?! I speak as a fellow console, that the health of our masters is our first concern, don't you think that you are bound by duty to Lord Phantomhive, that for the sake of his health, even if by doing so is against his orders. We ensure our masters remain in good spirits and good health no matter what we have to do. As you know, that is the butler aesthetic, Sebastian!" He shouted, meanwhile the Forbidden trio silently clapped behind him.
"Oh. Considering my role to be the fulfillment of my young lord's wishes, you make an excellent point. Yes, indeed. Perhaps there's something to your way of thinking after all." Sebastian agreed.
"Wait!" Ciel shouted, startled by the turn of events. "Don't let him turn you, my orders now are-"
"Now that that's sorted, let's get you to bed!" Soma happily cut Ciel off and tried to carry him to the bed in the room.
While Soma shouted at the others to grab certain objects, Y/N kneeled by Ciel's bedside and put the back of her hand to his warm cheeks. "Please do get some rest, young lord. You will need it." She told him, standing and walking out the door, leaving the poor male awestruck and even more curious about her.

-Night-
Y/N carried a platter of tea and porridge towards Ciel's room, at Prince Sama's request, before pausing just outside the door.
"Do not worry, My lord. All will end tomorrow."

[*Younger male: Though Ciel is 16 in my fanfic, Prince Soma is 17. Still making him older.

Wow, this might be the longest chapter for this story.]
