You Will Dance Alois X Reader

       “Alois, it's far past your bedtime, now please.” You tried ushering the whiny Alois up the stairs, but he refused. “It's too late to start that now, we can try tomorrow, come on now. You really do need to go to bed.”

“Don't tell me what I really need to do.”Alois moved from your reach and stood on top of a chair, pointing down at you. “You are my servant, it is I who will tell you what is to be done!” He laughed loudly. “Now, we shall dance. Claude, start the music.” He clapped his hands and jumped down from the chair. The music started and Alois grabbed hold of your hands. “Now dance.”

“You're going to throw a fit when morning rolls around.” Despite knowing that you were making a mistake by giving in to him, you followed his lead in a strange type of ballroom dance. He stepped on your feet once or twice but continued to dance.

“Perhaps, it would be best if you took the lead. I'm sure you know how to dance. As any servant of mine should.” He blushed slightly. “I could use a refresher course. I haven’t danced with a female partner in a while you know.”

“I think you're just over tired, but okay.” You repositioned his hands on your hips and wrapped your arms around his neck. Claude changed the song to something a bit slower. You  and Alois started to dance again, this time with you in the lead. “That any better?”

“W-well, I suppose, I mean, I'm not stepping on your feet anymore. So that's good.” He was embarrassed that he had asked you for help, and that you were dancing so closely together. It was strange to see Alois acting shy. You knew his meekness wouldn't last long, so you enjoyed it while it lasted. Alois slowly swayed back and forth with you in time with the music. “I'm getting bored, this dance is too slow.”

“I knew it wouldn't last.” You laughed. “Then why don't you go ahead and take the lead again. I'm sure you've gotten enough practice in by now.”

Alois blushed and shook his head. “No, no. I think I've danced enough for one night. I want to play a game now.” He tapped his finger on his chin and thought. “Hide and seek. Yes, that will do. No hiding in the dark rooms.” He sent you a glare. “Now, you count first, I'll hide.” Alois ran off to find a spot to hide.

“Of course I count.” You began counting, stopping at thirty. “Ready or not Alois, I'm coming to find you.” You started your search in all the obvious places: inside closets, under tables, behind the curtains,  beneath the beds, behind furniture and in the cupboards. “Where the heck are you?” You started looking in places you knew he wouldn't hide. Still, you couldn't find him. “Okay Alois, I give up, you win.” You continued to walk through the house without an answer. Suddenly a slight crackling noise came from above your head. “What the?”

“Look out below.” Alois was free falling from he chandelier directly above your head. Before you could get out of the way, Alois crashed into you, knocking you onto the ground and rendering you unconscious. When you woke up, Alois was hovering over you, fanning you with his hand. “H-hey, you're alive.” He stopped fanning you and fell onto your chest, giving you a full body hug.

“Of course I'm alive. What happened?” You hugged him back and rubbed his head.

Alois pulled away from your chest and wiped his nose in a way that reminded you of a little boy.“Well, I jumped from the lights and I fell on you. Then your eyes did something weird and you passed out. I asked Claude to help, but he ignored me.” Alois looked ready to cry.

“It's okay Alois, everything’s fine.” You squeezed him tightly in a consoling hug. “We didn't need Claude, you did just fine all by yourself.”

“You're right.” Alois pulled away from you, quickly wiped away his tears and grinned. “I don't need Claude. You don't need Claude.” He laughed. “We can take care of ourselves.”

'“I wouldn't go that far. We still need him for a lot. If he leaves, who would play music for us when we dance?” You tried to undo the damage you had just unintentionally done. “So, there is that we need him for.”

“I suppose you're right.” Alois yawn. “Well, I'm tired now. I think you ought to sleep in bed with me tonight, just in case your head really is hurt.” He wiggled his eyebrows at you and took your hand. “You can take me to bed now, I'm ready.”

“No Alois, that's my job. You won't be sleeping with a girl.” Claude appeared and lifted Alois off the ground. Against Alois's will he started carrying him to bed.

“Put me down Claude. I should be able to have her sleep with me if I want her to.” Alois started flail his arms and legs wildly as he tried to get away from Claude. Suddenly he stopped, and started snoring softly.

“Finally.” Claude turned and stared at you. “I suggest you never accept an invitation into his room. You will regret it.” With that final warning uttered, he walked up the stairs and disappeared into the darkness with Alois.
