You awoke to the same dream, his life just calling at you. Over and over and over. You massaged your forehead softly, washing off the thought. You heard a couple of knocks on your door as if it knew when did you wake up. You took in a deep breath, knowing who it was, you didn't bother to reply. So instead, you made your way to the bathroom. Just as you closed the door to the bathroom, the door to the bedroom opened.

"Y/n? Are you here?" Sebastian's voice rang out. He managed to catch a glimpse of you closing the bathroom door, thus he made his way to the door, lightly knocking. "I don't want to see you." You called out before he could say a word. Sebastian sighed, pressing a hand to the door. "Then don't. I just want you to hear me, please."

You huffed a breath, fixing your hair as you looked at your reflection in the mirror. "Fine... Talk." You simply replied.

Sebastian took a deep breath, thinking about how should he put this through. "I know what I did was wrong. I deserve you to treat me this way. I don't expect you to forgive me but... I'm sorry. You're right. It was dumb of me to not think about your feelings or the women's. I was too focused on doing my job that I forget about you. I'm sorry I let you down." He spoke up from the bottom of his heart, hoping you would actually listen to him.

On the other side, you were somewhat amused at his apology. At least he was being honest and admitted he was guilty, it made you curved your lips into a smile. You looked at the door, imagining his face. Though you were disappointed in him, he said what he said. He didn't realise what he actually did until you pointed it out. "I love you, Y/n. And I'm sorry." At that, you walked to the door, opening it and met up with his gaze. He looked surprised as if he didn't expect you to open the door that quick.

"Y/n... I am-" before he could say another word that would probably kill the mood, you yanked his collar, pulling him down and crashed your lips to his. Closing your eyes, you tilted your head, feeling his hands slithered to your waist. He pulled you close, body flushed against each other, he reached a hand behind the back of your head. He didn't want to go further, though he could, he didn't want to make you feel uncomfortable.

He pulled away, you didn't realize your cheeks flushed at the kiss you initiated. Sebastian smirked a little, "What was that for?" He questioned. You brushed your thumb to your bottom lip, smiling at him. "What? Can't I just kiss the idiot I fell in love with?" You grinned.

He chuckled deeply, grabbing your hands, peppering them with kisses. "Sure. I'm an idiot. Your idiot." You grinned along with him as he pressed his forehead against yours. "I'm sorry I acted that way, Kitten." He apologised once more.

You hummed softly, "It's fine... I'm still not okay with it but... I knew you didn't mean it." You replied. Sebastian seemed amused by your approval. He pulled off, "Now, for today's activity." He said, grabbing a dress he prepared for you. To your surprise, it wasn't an extravagant dress you used to wear on special occasions. It was just a normal dress, not too preppy, could say, it was your style.

"A boy, I reckon?" Said Joker as he met Ciel for the first time. The three of you made it back to the circus. You were surprised the folks didn't recognize Ciel. "Yes. I've been in service as a pageboy." Ciel said pretending that he was nothing important. He wore an outfit that a little town boy would wear, not his usual attire.

"My name is... Finnian." Ciel introduced himself, using a fake name.

"Well, we'll give you a stage name if you pass," Joker remarked. Everyone went to the test court to witness the examination. There was a target board marked with a heart in the middle a few meters away from where you stood.

"Dagger! Give him some knives," Joker requested. Dagger came by, bringing some blades and handed them to Ciel. Joker indicated to the target, telling Ciel to hit dead centre. Ciel made his stance and directed his knife. Though you might have doubts about him. Once he threw one knife, it almost fell over but it flew back up and hit the target.

"Blimey!" Both Dagger and Joker chanted.

"Wait what?" You snapped my head. Your gaze went to Sebastian as you spotted he had a pebble on his hand. Turned out he was the one who made the knife flew to the target. Ciel threw more knives, and if it wasn't because of his butler, he would've failed.

"Well, that's fine control," Joker said while Dagger was still mind blown beside him with his mouth opened.

"Now before we moved on to the next thing, there's something I would like you to try, lass." Joker glanced at you. You turned your head to him, humming in reply. "Wait, me?"

He handed you more knives that looked like Ciel's knife he held before. "We'd like to see if you're more than you were yesterday." He smiled. You casually shrugged, finding it no problem. You stood to your position, right foot in front and the left backwards. You raised the blade at the sky, focusing on the target and the target only. If they were asking to impress them then you would outcome their expectations.

You put up a smirk and extended the three knives on between your fingers. You threw them all easily and huffed a breath. The knives hit the head, making a straight line to the middle to the heart. "Amazing! For a girl!" Dagger spoke up, his teeth showing up as he smiled.

Joker clapped his hands, walking over to you. "Well, You both are more talented than I reckon. But the test is not finished for you yet, Lil' fella!" He said. He then led all of you inside the main tent where they did their performance.

"Next is, tightrope walking!" Said Joker, motioning to the pole that led to the trapeze act above. "Now if you just get up there, Doll will be waiting for you," Joker said, pushing Ciel gently towards the ladder. Ciel looked back at you and Sebastian, his face worried. He gulped and began to climb up the ladder.

"I swear he is helpless without you," you whispered to Sebastian as you saw him holding up a bunch of small pebbles, probably he would do the same thing.

"Doll! Do that lifeline uptight." Joker shouted when Ciel finally reached the top. Ciel started to walk on the tightrope. At first, he was doing well, but after a few steps, he nearly fell. Luckily, Sebastian shot him some pebbles to his sides to keep him balanced. Ciel looked hurt by it but again, he kept doing this until he reached the end.

When he was finally done, he quickly got back down and walked towards you both, rubbing his side where Sebastian hit him a few times. "Amazing! I didn't reckon you'd made it across!" Joker clapped his hand, while Sebastian and I were just laughing silently behind him.

"The cutie pass it then, eh Joker?" Said Dagger as he pats Ciel's head. "Not yet! Something is missing" Joker said, in a stern tone. He walked closer to Ciel.

"A great big smile!" Joker smiled. Although Ciel didn't like that, He did that anyway. And you hate to admit but he had a cute smile.

"Now, I think we have ourselves a few new members!" Dagger said as he walked beside Joker.

"Right! Now do change yourselves up! Cause we have to announce all of you." Joker pointed to the changing room behind you. You turned around as he pushed you softly. "Costumes are in there. Go change!" He said as he led you to the room. There were a lot of costumes but some of them were too colourful for your taste.

"Now I recommend these for you!" Dagger lent you some outfit sets and left you to a changing room. You examined each set carefully, not wanting to pick one that would make you look bad.

Set 1-

Set 2-

"I guess this one will do," you changed into a new outfit of your choice. You didn't quite like it, but it was short-skirted, so you give him that. To finish it up, you painted a couple of ace spades on your left cheek. Not to forget, you brought your demon blade just in case. Luckily, the dress's skirt has a lot of layers so you could slip your blade between them. You brushed your new outfit, looking to yourself through the mirror, "Not bad, actually." And got out as soon as you were done.

Sebastian was the first one to notice you. He was in his usual outfit, only purple ribbon with a skull on his neck and held a top hat were the new extras. His facial paint was a purple line on his right eye. Meanwhile, Ciel wore a blue outfit and a matching hat. With facial paint below his left eye.

"You look nice, kitten," Sebastian grinned, walking over to you. You grinned along with him, "You look not bad yourself," You saw Ciel walking beside him, wearing a new blue outfit.

Joker noticed your small group, "Wow! Looking good, newbies!" He clapped his hands. He turned to his other members, "Everyone! We have some new mates joining us!"

"This tall one here is Black!" Joker pointed to Sebastian, giving him his stage name.

"This wee little boy here is Smile!" He pointed to Ciel who didn't seem to like his stage name. You were kind of curious about what name would he gave you. "And this pretty one here is ..." He paused, taking a quick glance at you.

"Wonder!"

...well, you could've wished for more but it was good enough. You sort of like it. The other members gave their applause as you bowed slightly.

In the corner of your eyes, you saw Sebastian crawling up to you. "My my, Wonder! I wonder if you can beat me in the acts." You shook your head at his attempt, giving him a tired look, "You do know that's not good."

"Now come. I shall give you a tour around the area!"
