"Good morning young master. Today, I have made an egg and assorted pepper omlet. To drink, your favorite Earl Grey tea with a side of scones." The butler in black looked down at his master with a polite smile. "Will that be all boccahn?"

"That is all Sebastian." His butler waited by his side until Ciel had finished his meal. The child then dismissed the butler with a lazy wave of his hand. "You are dismissed." "Thank you master. If you need me, I will be dusting in the library." Sebastian then hulled the dining cart to its proper place in the kitchen and made his way swiftly to the library. As he opened the large doors to the library, the thin layer of dust that clung to the air in the unused room tickled his nose but he dismissed it. 'Good thing I have come here to clean, if this place was seen, it would soil the Phantomhive name.' The butler made a disgusted face as he laid the cleaning tools down on the nearest table.

While gathering a duster from the collection of cleaning items, he noticed something red dart from his line of vision and to the other side of the room.

"Grell,I know its you. Now stop fooling around,what do you want?" Sebastian layed the duster back down on the table and sighed pinching the bridge of his nose with his fingers." OUT HERE AT ONCE." Grell slowly made his way out of the corner and walked up to the Sebasian in a quite feminine way, a grin plastered on the face the entire time. "Bassy, why must you be so cruel,hmm?" He then pouted and batted his eyelashes at the butler he proclaimed he loved.

"Grell,I shall not repeat myself again. What do you want?" He gave a cold look to the shinigami, letting him know he was not about to play around."Oooh, that cold stare, I just love it!" Sebastian's eye twitched, both glowing purple, showing he really wasn't about to deal with the red head right now.

"Well, to be honest, William sent me off to collect a few souls in the area so I thought why not stop by and pay my Sebas-chan a visit?" Sebastian's eyes calmed down to their normal copper color, but twitched again at Grell's statement.

"I am not yours and neither do I want your company. Now leave, I am busy and do not wish to be bothered." With that, the butler picked up the duster and continued to the nearest bookshelf to clean. Grell stayed in his spot, staring dreamilly into space while fantasizing about a certain demon.

"Grell, I thought I told you to-" A bell heard only by the demonic butler was rung,calling him to tend to his master."Grell, I must see what my master wants so please leave before I am needed to use force. All though I would love to, I must not dissapoint the young lord." At that, the reaper made an annoyed cry.

"All you care about is that stupid little brat." He crossed his arms, following the butler as he retreated to his masters quarters.

"I'd appreciate it if you did not call my master such names. Now Grell, this is your last chance. Get out of my sight before I am required to use force...I may just have to kill you. If you have not noticed, you are nothing to me and only cause problems." Sebastian smirked at the idea of brutally killing the shinigami that simply annoyed him to no end. He neared the last step, but stopped. 'Thank Lucifer, he's gone.'

Grell's POV

'N-nothing...I...I'm nothing?' I stop myself, taken aback at what I just heard.

My chest aches and I can feel tears sting the back of my eyes. It's weird, I'm usually used to any insult Sebby dishes out at me...but this time it feels different. I don't know why...but it just does.

My eyes lower to floor, feeling too uncomfortable to continue looking at the source of my heartbreak for the moment.

'Maybe...maybe I should just leave...'

"Sebastian."

"Yes, my lord?" The butler placed his hand over his chest and slightly bowed, signifying he was about to do anything the young lord desired.

"Make sure we don't get any visitors tomorrow. I will be busy doing paperwork for the company all day and do not wish to be disturbed."

"Of course young lord."

"Oh, and don't let that foul reaper near my estate. I have enough things to worry about as it is. You will do whatever needs to be done, as long as it's quiet."

When the red reaper finally got home, he collapsed on his bed exhausted from a long day of reaping. The day had been unusually hard and long (shut up pervs X3) due to the fact that he couldn't stop thinking what the butler had told him. This made the paperwork afterwards hell.

Nothing. He couldn't help but now hate the word.
