Elizabeth spun around, the skirt of her dress swayed as she did so. She gleamed happily, turning to you. "What do you think, Y/n?"

You thought for a while, wondering how come a person became so happy by just changing into another dress that was just almost the same as before. "I think it suits you, my lady." You hummed in reply. She grinned and brushed her dress.

"Oh! It's almost time! Let's go!" She ushered you out to the hallway. You closed the door behind her as she raced you into the ballroom. You let out a long breath, trailing behind her.

As both of you made it to the ballroom, Elizabeth immediately rushed towards Ciel, pulling his arms. You crossed your arms, making your way to the trio where they lined up. Sebastian walked up next to a piano and sat down on the bench. He lifted the fallboard, flexing his hands as he started to press the keys.

As he started to play a tune, the young couple danced around the room. But even so, your attention was focused on Sebastian. You argued about whether should you join him or not. Of course, you knew how to play the piano, you remembered your mother used to teach you, not only that, it was the only thing that entertained you in your previous jobs.

In the end, you decided to join him. It wasn't like you were going to stand the and just watched two people danced around. You sighed and sat next to Sebastian as he turned his head to you. "I didn't know you could play, kitten."

You sent him a quick stare, placing your hands on the keyboard. "Shut up. I'm just bored." Slowly, you pressed the keys that soon created a beautiful tune that filled the room. Your finger danced along the white surface, moving in sync with Sebastian's. You hated to admit but you were enjoying the moment.

Though there were other people in the room, at that moment, it felt like it was just the two of you, creating music in the room. You moved your fingers to match the music he was playing, your arms brushing one another occasionally. As the end of the music had been reached, a smile crept onto your lips as you dragged your gaze to Sebastian. He smiled genuinely at you, standing up and offering his hand to you. You gladly took his hand as you realized the whole room's attention was on you.

You felt your face heating up at the total of eyes that were on you. Immediately, you planted your gaze on the floor and slowly crept your way to the side of the room. "Y/n, that was amazing!" Finny praised you. You gave him a small smile, letting out a laugh. "Thank you. It's actually been a while."

As the night went on, Elizabeth was about to go home for the day. You assisted her to her carriage, placing all of her belongings. "Y/n! I want to give you something!" Elizabeth gestured for you to come close to her. Suddenly, she took out a box from the carriage and handed it to you. You were caught by surprise, glancing back and forth between the box and her. "Me? I mean... Is this for me?"

"Obviously!" She let out a small laugh, shoving the box to you. You hesitantly accepted her gift. "Are you sure?" You asked once more. Elizabeth nodded happily. "Yes! I hope it matches your taste!" She cheered, hopping onto the carriage. "Also, thank you for helping me today." You nodded at her, closing the door.

You heaved a sigh and went back into the manor. Only to be welcomed by Sebastian. "How was your evening, kitten?" He questioned. "Fine." You simply replied, walking past him. To your surprise, he stopped you by grabbing your wrist. "Would you come with me for one moment?" You turned back to him. You were pretty much tired of handling all the mess today. But you thought maybe following Sebastian and his plans wouldn't be so bad. So far, he'd never done anything stupid. Besides, what was the worst thing that going to happen?

"... Okay..." You faintly replied. Sebastian cast a smile as he guided you to wherever he was going. He took you to the music room, which you found odd. "What are you doing?" You questioned when Sebastian pulled vinyl cardboard out of a shelf. He gently took out the record, placing it in the turntable of the gramophone.

((Let's just say that thing we're already there back then))

You raised a brow in curiosity. "I'm still on the line to teach you some stuff." You rolled your eyes at his words, knowing where this was going. He started the music as he turned around. "So today, I will be teaching you to dance." He said, putting a hand behind his back and one offered to you. You quirked a brow and stepped back. "What?"

"You heard me." He kept his hand out for you. You hesitated as the music started to fill the room. You stared at him, couldn't believe you chose to be with him. You grimaced, finally taking his hand.

Sebastian twirled you and pulled you into his arms. You huffed a breath when you bumped into his chest, you looked up at him, only to look back down, hiding your blush as he smirked at you. Then gently, he put his hand on your waist, slowly swaying his body with yours. He extended your entangled hands as the music became your guide. You looked down at your feet as they moved on themselves, matching Sebastian's steps. "Eyes on me, kitten. Always keep our eyes on your partner." Sebastian said as you dragged your gaze back to him. He took a step, and another, guiding you throughout the session and you were surprised you didn't step on his foot like the ones in the stories.

The fact that you were able to dance so swiftly surprised you. You hated to admit it, but you enjoyed your time with him. It felt as if he read your mind, his small smirk proved that.

This bastard...

As the music ended, he dipped you down, bending you over as he pressed his lips onto yours, kissing you softly. "You know that wasn't necessary." You grumbled. He responded with his significant chuckle, pulling you back up. "It is to me,"

"Ugh... Tease."
