~ “Thank you, my lord.”
He easily took the lead, his fingers intertwined with smaller ones. Sebastian smirked at the younger man, admiring the confused look on his face. It must not be often that he got to dance with men. Sebastian prided himself on his dancing - it was only one of his many talents. After all, if he couldn’t sweep a prince off his feet, what kind of bounty hunter would he be?
Sebastian continued to dance with Ciel, a hand securely at his back, for about half of the song until he bowed his head, whispering in the prince’s ear.
“Say, you look rather bored. Would you like to escape the festivities for a bit? I’ll be sure to bring you back before midnight."
──♚── The young man certainly wasn’t expecting to himself suddenly swept off his feet and spinning to the music with someone else leading him. He swallowed hard and managed to scan the room with his cobalt optics, noticing that several of the nobles were staring at them. This was highly innaproppriate for a Prince. But Ciel didn’t pull away. He merely avoided any eye contact and kept to the beat as well as possible.
It wasn’t until the strange suggested the go elsewhere that the prince finally gazed directly into those ruby eyes. Leave? And for what purpose? What intention did this tall, dark stranger have? Still, a bit of fresh air might be lovely. After all, the room was so noisy and stuffy. Ciel glanced over at the tall glass doorway that lead to the outside veranda and gardens.
”It's extremely inappropriate for me to just leave my own party, and with a stranger no less. But perhaps stepping out to the veranda for a moment of fresh air wouldn't be too terrible.“ The prince pulled himself away from the taller male and nodded to him before making his way out into the quiet of the night. Away from all the noise, he let out a sigh of relief and leaned against the railing.
