Hello there. *waves politely and smiles* This one-shot is an inspiration from a quiz in Quotev. I'm sorry if my attitude suddenly turns into somewhat of a maiden's. If I don't do this, Ciel won't be here to do the disclaimer.
Ciel: Well, well. That's the price you paid for losing to me in chess.
Me: Ciel?
Ciel: Yes, Angel? *raises an eyebrow*
Me: Please shut it and do the disclaimer. *weak smile*
Ciel: *huffs* Fine. She does not own Black Butler and its characters nor does she own you.
Me: Thank you, and now, I must retire to my chambers. A good day to you, Lord Phantomhive. *curtsies then walks away*

"Grace! C'mere and meet the new recruits!" Joker called out while I was practicing for my balancing act.
"Sure thing Joker!" I replied then jumped down the beach ball, my (h/l), (h/c) flowed from the breeze as I ran. Actually, my name is not really Grace.
I was also an orphan, abandoned and left alone to rot in the alleys. I don't know who my parents are and I don't have a single trace of memory of how I was dumped in the alley.
No one really knows my name, excluding myself. I was stealing from others to survive; like food and money.
By the time I was about to give up living, Joker and the rest found me. Eversince then, I joined the Noah's Ark Circus and became their new family member.
Joker gave me the name Grace. The reason is that whatever I do, I always do it with grace and poise despite the life I had been through.
As soon as I arrived, the others were already there. Beast, Dagger, Doll, Peter, Wendy and Jumbo.
Joker finally spotted me and smiled. "Grace, meet Smile," he pointed to a boy with navy blue hair and one blue eye. The other one was covered by his fringe.
He was wearing an all-blue circus outfit and had some blue face paint under his eye.
"And Black!" Next, he pointed to a tall man beside the boy. He had raven black hair and red orbs tinted with brown specks.
Unlike Smile, he wears all-black and has red face paint under his eyes too.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Grace!" I held out my hand, waiting for a handshake.
Smile stared down at my outstretched hand, contemplating wether to shake it or not. He hesitated, but shook it.
"Nice to meet you too. My name's Smile." He said, not even a trace of a smile on his face.
"A pleasure to meet you too, Grace." Black greeted with a grin, a cat-like one.
I giggled and withdrew my hand. "C'mon Smile. Smile!" Dagger and I told him in unison.
He flinched, but nevertheless, he smiled and happily laughed. But, it was fake.

"So how was it to be his roommate Doll?" I silently asked her while going towards a table with Smile for breakfast.
"Eh, not so bad. He was silent at first, but he still came along well." She silently yet cheerily replied, her accent flowing through her words.
I nodded and took a glance back. Smile caught my (e/c) eyes and was startled. He quickly averted his eyes from mine and started looking anywhere but me.
I silently chuckled and faced in front again, a small hue of pink running through my cheeks.
I tucked a loose strand of (h/c) hair behind my ear and kept walking. I took a quick peek on the back once in a while and always saw this: Smile slightly blushing as he stared at my form.
**
I nervously looked up at the circus ring platform. Peter and Wendy doing well in their flying trapeze act.
I was supposed to do my gymnastics act after their trapeze act. I gulped and looked down at my outfit.
A (f/c) chiffon, knee-length dress, white stockings, (f/c) closed shoes, white, elbow-length gloves and a (f/c) bow perched on my head. My hair was slightly curled and my face was pale from the make-up I was wearing; pink lip gloss applied to my lips and purple eyeshadow that complimented my (e/c) orbs.
My thoughts keep wandering back to Smile. The way he kept staring or glancing at me gave me butterflies in my stomach, which has been occuring since the last few days.
I blushed at the thought and tried to shake it off. My thoughts wandered to how cute he was, his navy blue hair, his one blue eye that I adore and his glances.
I was spacing out so much that I almost never heard Joker announce that it was my turn now.
I let out a weary sigh and stepped out onto the ring. I gave off a smile and a wave to the cheering and clapping crowd.
I did cartwheels, flips, jumps, headstands and footwork. For my finale, I leaped up high, twirled then landed in a split, with my head hung low.
I tilted my head up then smiled and waved. The crowd started clapping and children kept pointing their fingers at me in awe.
I always loved making people smile and laugh happily. It warmed my heart to see them be filled with joy and happiness that I lack in my past life.
I stood up, curtsied then stepped out of the ring while waving to the crowd.
**
I went my way towards Smile and Black to congratulate them on their acts. Black was practically a natural at the circus acts, making me go in awe.
Before I could even make it there, Black left, leaving Smile standing there alone.
I stopped in my tracks and stared at him. He was in deep thought and kept glancing from his left to right.
I decided to leave him be and go back to my tent. I turned around and walked away, a bit sad that I was too shy to talk to him today.
However, I didn't noticed his eye looking over at my disappearing silhouette.
3rd Person POV
Grace was soundly asleep in her bed, curled up in her blankets.
A silhouette stood before her bed, staring at her peaceful sleeping form.
Ciel knelt and caressed the sleeping girl's cheek. She whimpered and fully turned to Ciel's side, her face showing fear and a frown.
He stared at her with a worried and loving glint in his eye. He looked over the tent to check if someone saw him.
Seeing that no one is, he gently laid his lips on hers. He released it after a few seconds and looked at her face.
She turned back into her peaceful state, her frown morphed into a smile as she unconciously snuggled closer to his hand.
A small smile graced his lips and uttered the words that he was wanting to say to her.
"I love you, ____....And please forgive me." He sighed and stood up then quietly left the tent.
As soon as he went out, he was met with blood red eyes and a devilish grin.
"Are you finished with your business, my lord?" Sebastian asked, an amused look on his face.
The said lord scowled at him and brushed past him. "Yes, I am." He uttered and turned to him.
"Sebastian,"
"Yes, my lord?" Sebastian smirked, already knowing what his master's orders are.
Ciel faced the tent again, his eye showing the longing he had for ____. He knew that if he told her the truth about his plans, she would hate him and leave without a doubt.
He wouldn't want that to happen. He loved the girl too much to lose her so he made a decision.
"After this, retrieve _____ and bring her to the Phantomhive Manor. That's an order." He continued and turned around, walking away from the butler.
"Yes, my lord." He placed a hand on his heart and smirked.
"That brat surprisingly learned how to love. This should be interesting" Sebastian silently chuckled and followed Ciel.
Their silhouettes vanished in the dark and ____ was left alone, sleeping and unaware of what awaits her tonight.
