Inside the Phantomhive Manor a certain black butler was tending to his master.
"Sebastian! Bring me something sweet"
"Yes my lord." The butler bowed to his master on one knee and disappeared to the kitchen only to be taken for surprise at the sight he was seeing.
"Grell? What are you doing here?" Sebastian was standing in the door way with wide eyes as he stared at the man before him although something was off about the butler.
Grell never turned around or even spoke to Sebastian he just kept stirring the stew on the stove. This made Sebastian a bit angry so he walked up to the butler and spun him around only to be greeted by grell's tears.
Sebastian was no longer angry at Grell when he saw him crying, he let go of Grell's shoulders and took a step back. "Grell, what's wrong?"
Grell put his head down and turned back to the stove removing the pot and laying it on the counter. "Well, I don't think I can return to being Angelina's butler" He refused to look Sebastian in the eye and just wiped his eyes. "Before you ask why I will tell you. Angelina has given me an order and that order is to learn to be a better butler or never return again"
"But why are you cooking here?" Sebastian kept staring at the brown haired butler with curiosity
"I was hoping to make young Ciel a meal in hopes that he will consider letting me stay here since I will not be returning to Madam".
Sebastian smiled at this bribe for his young master and touched Grell's shoulder making him look up with a light blush on his cheeks. "I will ask young master what he thinks of your request".
Dinner time and Sebastian went to retrieve Ciel. "Master dinner is ready. Also we have an unexpected guest today, Madam Red's butler. He has a request to have permission to stay here because he chooses not to return to madam".
"Hmm, I will agree to this request, prepare a guest room for him Sebastian." Ciel Walked past him to head to the dining room.
"Yes my lord"
At the dining room table Sebastian served the stew that Grell made which seemed to put a smile on the brown haired butler's face.
Grell was no longer crying and was admiring Sebastian's way of doing things and also admiring the butler himself.
After dinner Sebastian put Ciel to bed and went to prepare a guest room for Grell. Once the room was ready he brought Grell down to the room.
"Ah Sebas-Chan this room is lovely!~" Grell walked into the room and plopped down on the bed.
"I'm very glad you like it" Sebastian turned to leave but stopped himself when he caught a glimpse of Grell removing the bow from his hair letting it fall to his back.
Grell's hair was brown and flowed down over the edge of the bed when removed from the bow but it also had a little hint of red.
"Grell, may I ask you a question?"
"You just did" Grell laughed at Sebastian's grin "Yes you may ask me a question".
"Can you show me your true form?" Sebastian now had a serious look on his face as he looked Grell in the eyes.
Grell was caught off guard at the question that he was just asked and just stared at Sebastian with wide eyes but soon freed himself of the shock and sighed. "So you figured it out."
"You cannot hide anything from me Grell I can sense that you are not human but you are also not a demon or an angel so that only leaves a death God. I knew from the moment I met you".
Grell took a comb from an inside pocket of his jacket and ran it through his hair, as he did this it turned a brilliant red. He then removed his dull black framed glasses and replaced them with red ones that had a chain dangling from them he then stood up.
Sebastian was just staring his mouth slightly open and his eyes wide but that shock subsided as quickly as it came being replaced with a grin. Sebastian moved over to the dresser, opened the drawer and pulled out the red coat madam red had left behind and moved toward Grell removing the black one from him which caused Grell to blush deeply, his black coat was then replaced with the red one.
"Red is a much better color on you". Sebastian smiled as he turned to leave the room.
"Sebas-Chan wait~" Grell touched Sebastian's shoulder and stopped him.
Grell's touch sent shivers down his spine, he turned his head to face Grell who had a worried look on his face or maybe it was a scared one. "What is It Grell is something wrong?"
"Um, would you mind staying with me for tonight; I don't want to be alone…"
Sebastian hesitated before he answered him "Yes".
Grell's eyes lit up and his smile was from ear to ear revealing very sharp and pointy teeth. He pulled Sebastian over to his bed and removed his jacket along with his own, he then lid down on his side and patted the bed for Sebastian to lay down as well. He did. Grell then curled up next to him and held onto his arm, this sent another shiver down Sebastian's spine but he grinned.
"Sweet dreams Grell".
