the entire night was nothing more than a blur. there was some sort of party going on at the phantomhive manor, and it was only natural for the crimson reaper to attend. after all, she was the life of every part, regardless of whether it was hosted by a certain brat.
--besides, a certain demon was present, and that was MORE than enough incentive for her to show her face.
crystal lifted to glossed lips as another long swallow of velvety vermillion was taken, warmth radiating from nearly every part of her body. hips moved rhythmically to the current music, finding absolutely nothing wrong with dancing alone. --that is, until she basically ran into her favorite butler. without a word she took his hands, guiding him out onto the floor as skilled feet moved, however unsteady they may have been at that point. a large smile lit up feminine features, malachite gaze locked with mysterious crimson.
tension shared between the simple stares was enough to keep the flamboyant reaper occupied for quite some time, blissfully ignorant to everything around her-- focused solely on this rare moment she was allowed with sebastian michaelis.
' you look absolutely stunning tonight, darling. '
words were nothing more than a tipsy slur, although there was a depth of sincerity to each syllable. her attraction to the demon was no secret to anyone, and any moment she had to spare a compliment and/or a flirt was well taken advantage of.
the fact that he was so much as humoring her was enough to leave a flutter of butterflies within her torso, emerald hues alight with happiness. it was then that she paused in her motion, the hand that was curled within dark fabric lifting to tangle within raven locks ; within a moment she had pulled his head down far enough that she could capture his lips with her own, a hum of approval reverbrating from her throat as a shiver of excitement shot down her spine.
a wonderful night it proved to be.
