He didn't went to hug her here.Though he did go with different ways.He pulled her away from himself, and looked her in the eyes." Don't think so negatively mistress." He told her.He smiled a faint smile through tears of his own, that had started once again."That day will never come" he told her, assuring her things would be okay, not to cry over it."Everything will be okay" he said.

"Promise?" Grace sniffles, her tears coming under control now.

Aiko looked down a second.He had had to many things in his life taken from him.His parents, a normal life, a fun childhood, friends at a young age, a non-painful childhood.He would not lose the girl he loved.He looked the mistress in the eyes."Promise" he said.

Grace wiped her face with her hands. "Thank you aiko. That makes me feel a little better." Grace got up from where she collapsed. "I guess we should try this again." She sighed.

Aiko stood up as well, he looked at the mistress."Do me one thing mistress.Have a fun night" he requested."No more tears..." he said."I want tonight to be something happy to remember, for both of us. Not to be remembered as a night where we sat and cried, and were in misery.." he said."Don't think about the bad things....please..."

Grace smiled at him. "Very well aiko. For your sake I shall enjoy myself. Now lets go." Grace began to lead the way hack to where they had come from.

It was sweet of him to want her to have a good time.After all, they were so looking forward to this.The butler, followed the mistress.

When the two returned, the dancing had begun. A beautiful waltz was being played by an orchestra as the people danced together. "Lets go aiko!" Grace grabbed him by the hand and lead him into the room to begin to dance.

He looked down at her hand..oh how he hoped that was okay for her to hold his hand.But who cared! They should just figure she wanted to dance with somebody.Or that the butler was teaching her how to dance.But however they seen t from their perspective, it couldn't be viewed as to romantic."Yes mistress!" He said as he began to follow her.Soon, they got to the part of the room where everyone was dancing.

Grace grasped aiko's hands and stood as she saw the others were around her and waited for him to be ready to dance.

Aiko took a glimpse around at the other men at the ball, and tried to imitate them.He got ready.

Grace saw he was ready and began to lead into an elegant waltz. She remembered seeing her parents dance like this once on their anniversary and she mimicked it as close she could from her memories. As the two danced, the others around them gave them plenty of room, forming a relatively medium circle around the dancing couple as they danced themselves.

Aiko tried his best to dance good, and he managed it.He managed to make it look nice, and just followed along with the mistress as they went.This, was fun.

Grace smiled and closed her eyes, clearly enjoying herself. She had wanted to dance with him for a long time and she was actually getting her wish.As the music continued, the mistresses grandmother, antoine, and douglas came to the edge of the circle, but far away enough that someone in the circle wouldn't be able to see them. Seeing her granddaughter dance with someone she wasn't supposed to in her eyes, made her red with anger. As axon as they got close, she made Antoine grab aiko and pushed Douglas in in his place. With her eyes still closed, she danced with who she thought was aiko and continued to enjoy herself.

(Poor Aiko)


He danced with the mistress, one may take it that as a butler he may be teaching her a little bit.After all, a mistress could always depend on the butler.He looked out of the corner of his eye t the crowd, but looked away.Shyness that didn't belong here, no, not now.But the good time was ruined when Antoine pulled him out of the way.Aiko looked at the mistress.Please open our eyes.... he begged in his thoughts.He hoped the world was nice to him.....for he couldn't say anything...he couldn't alarm the mistress, for he would be stepping across the borderline of romance if he did.

(Ikr, anyway your turn in dark carnival btw.)

Thankfully, grace opened her eyes and saw aiko was replaced by Douglas. "Douglas, what are you doing here? Where's my butler?" She whispered, still trying to keep up the facade that she was interested in him. "Well, since we are to be married we should get used to dancing at these events. Anyway, don't worry about him. Granny is going to have a talk with him." The boy smiled evily and grace began to worry it wasn't safe for aiko to be here. Meanwhile, Antoine was being forced to drag aiko to a less populated area of the dance.

(..it is? Sorry! *goes to reply after this* thanks for informing me)

Aiko was glad Grace had opened her eyes.Just a little.But his relief faded away when Antoine started dragging him away, and he was forced to follow..he knew he was in trouble..

As grace continued to dance, Antoine lead him to the sake hallway he had been in with grace a few minutes earlier. Her grandmother was there, yer face an infuriated red. "Just what do you think you were doing out there, servant boy?!" She asked through her teeth.

Aiko looked at Graces grandmother, seeing she was red in the face, he looked down.Knowing she was mad at him.But he looked her in the face when she spoke to him, since it was rude not to look at somebody when they're talking to you."Dancing..." he answered truthfully.He had to act like he didn't know better.Like nobody told him anything, not what Emily had told him...hut he also had to act like he had common sense in that to..

The old woman moved to slap him but Antoine stopped her. "Mistress, he's done nothing wrong. They were just dancing as friends, right aiko?" Antoine looked at him with a look that said 'roll with it'.
