You stared out the window of your manor as you sighed. You'd been invited to a ball and your parents made you go. You hated balls, you hated having to chat with people and last but not least you hated how hypocrite they all were .
" Horacio, at what time is the ball?" You muttered as your butler sighed " once again, it is at 5:30pm in the Trancy manor" you nodded your head as Horacio shook his head knowing he'd have to remind you once again later.
It's not that you had bad memory, the issue was that you never payed attention to any details of something you disliked. It's as if it went through one ear and out the other. Your parents had always wanted you to go to the Trancy manor, they wanted you to marry the young earl that lived there. You refused each and every time they proposed the idea, not only because you'd never met the earl but also because you didn't believe in arranged marriages. You thought that one should marry out of love not for one's benefit.
You sat and wondered how the young earl would be. Your childhood friend, Ciel had always told you to stay away from the young earl yet you'd always shrug it off thinking he was just being an overprotective friend. Even if you were a year older than him, Ciel had always seen you as his imouto ( little sister).
Your thoughts were soon interrupted by your butler " madame, the time has come for you to get ready for the ball. Your maid has laid out your clothes for you on your bed" you rolled your eyes as you made your way to your room.

You sighed once again as you got out of your carriage " so.. this is the trancy manor" you stared at the huge manor in front of you. No wonder otossan and okassan wanted me to marry the earl. The manor was big enough to be considered a hotel. You made your way to the entrance, careful not to step on your dress and embarrass yourself by tripping. A tall butler with glasses stood at the entrance with a paper filled with the names of the guests. " Y/n l/n ( your name and last name)" you muttered as he nodded and arranged his already arranged glasses " The earl wants to welcome you himself, you can find him in the main hall" you nodded a your furrowed your brows in confusion.
Why would the earl want to personally welcome you? Why bother welcoming you when there's hundreds of other guests he could've welcomed instead? You sighed as you made your way to what you guessed was the main hall. You arrived and face palmed seeing as you had no idea how the earl looked so you wouldn't know who to talk to.
" Baka" you muttered , as you were about to go to the entrance to ask the tall butler a bubbly voice echoed throughout your ears . " Ah you must be Y/n- chan head of the l/n manor . I an the host and head of the Trancy manor , the one and only Alois Trancy" he bowed as he clapped his hands gleefully. " you are even more beautiful in person" he took your hand as he began dragging you throughout the manor.
You took this time to look at his features he had icy blue eyes, blonde hair, he seemed to be around your age yet he was still slightly taller than you. So this is the infamous earl, you hadn't expected him to be so.... Childish and energetic . No wonder Ciel didn't like him, they were complete opposites. You chuckle at the thought as Alois spoke "you have to see the garden, you'd love it! " he continued dragging you towards the garden as you stared at your intertwined hands , a blush crept on your cheeks as you looked away.
He opened a door as you were greeted with a breeze, you stared in awe at all the flowers that surrounded you. A smile slowly crept onto your face as he turned to face you " I knew you'd like it y/n-chan" you slowly walked towards the bush of roses.
" It's beautiful.." He chuckled " the irony that you're just as beautiful as it yet you speak of it as if it were the sky and you were dirt" a blush crept onto your face " y-you think I'm beautiful?" He giggled " you're so clueless y/n-chan" you blushed as you reached out to touch the rose only to be hurt by the thorn , you held your bleeding finger and frowned . Alois noticed and walked towards you he held up your hand as he tore a small piece from his shirt and wrapped it around your finger, he gently kissed it as you blushed .
" sometimes even the most beautiful things can easily hurt you and other times they can be deadly yet despite this we still approach them without a care in the world" he stared at the night sky as a smile crept onto his face " Even if it doesn't seem like it I could become your worst nightmare in a matter of seconds. You see y/n- chan I can be sweet and caring yet just like a rose I can hurt you." You were taken aback by his sudden words yet you didn't seem to want to leave , you just wanted to know more about the boy in front of you. You slowly made your way towards him as you smiled " yet we still approach them without a care in the world because despite this they could cause us joy" You smiled as he grinned after hearing your words.
" are you saying that I make you happy y/n-chan?" You blushed as you looked at the ground " m-maybe" he smirked as he lifted your chin " say it, say that I make you happy" you tried looking away but he'd just tilt your head and make you look at him in the eyes. "Y-you make me happy" he kept on teasing you as he whispered in your ear " who makes you happy?" His breath tickled your ear as you spoke as loud as you could " ALOIS TRANCY MAKES ME HAPPY!" His lips crept into a smile as he gently placed them on yours , you closed your eyes as your hands went to his hair, slightly messing it while you smiled throughout the sweet gesture.
After you broke, you both gazed into each others eyes as he pecked your lips once more . "Be mine" he muttered as you smiled " forever"
