"Oh Sebastian~ why don't you try cheering up? I'm sure Ciel will make it home from his business trip untouched. In the mean time why don't you spend time with a beautiful lady?" Grell says with a falsely studious look. Grell wraps his arms around Sebastian's waist admiring his vulnerability. Sebastian replies worried, "I shouldn't have let the young master leave unaccompanied." Sebastian stares at the neatly polished tea set on the oak table in front of them. He sighs and removes his glove staring at the poof of him and the young master's contract.
Grell is still wrapped around Sebastian and he cautiously lies down on his chest. At first he feels nervous about how Sebastian will react, but in his vulnerability he takes it well. He even wraps his own arms around Grell in a comfortable silence while they lay there cuddling. Grell feels the comforting warmth of Sebastian's chest. He doesn't say anything trying not to disrupt the peaceful moment. Sebastian squeezes him while zoning out still worrying to himself. Grell begins to get worried and props himself up on his elbows.
"Sebby-chan I'm so glad you let us have a chance as friends. I promise I won't let you get lonely while the boy is gone."
They continue to hold each other until the silence takes over the moment. The air feels heavy as if both of them were yearning for more. As if they were a second away from pulling each other in for a kiss. Grell realizes it is wishful thinking and stops listening to his instincts. Even though he had a gut feeling about it and if it was any other person than Sebastian he'd trust himself. He starts to worry that the silence is getting awkward and speaks up.
"What do you say to an invitation to Lau's dining hall? He himself is away on business in China but I'm sure his ladies will show us the upmost hospitality."
"I'm afraid my master will be away for quite some time and I'll have to accept. Being alone in the Phantomhive estate won't do me any good."
"Oh I knew you'd accept Sabby~ Give me a few moments to change out of these bloody clothes William and I had a messy scene to take care of take."
Grell smiles slyly noticing Sebastian's charming gentleman manner shining through his worrisome character. Sebastian sits down on one of the couches and removes his pocket-watch from his vest pocket. As he snaps it closed Grell reenters looking wonderfully different. "Sebby-chan how do I look?" teases Grell. But to his surprise Sebastian smiles awkwardly as if he was admiring Grell's beauty for the first time. He swears he notices Sebastian looking him up and down with dazed eyes but Grell discreetly turns away.
Grell notices but decides to buy into Sebastian's modest theatrics. Grell walks over to a near by table and picks up a tube of red lipstick. He turns back to Sebastian wearing the scarlet lipstick. "A little darker." Instructs Sebastian. Grell grabs the lipstick and goes over his lips one more time. Sebastian looks at him and comments "That's better." He can't help but wonder if the moment they had before had something to do with Sebastian's inviting eyes. Grell looks over Sebastian's beauty; his tall build and his wide shoulders, along with his flattering hair and friendly smiles. He could never win the heart or the body of the butler. It was impossible. "Shall we go?" Grell finally asks. "Right away, after you." Sebastian replies as he stands up and closes the door behind them.
Shortly there after they arrive at Lau's dining hall and are seated in the private room near the back- alone. Ran Mao sits them at a booth and half-joking says "I'm watching you." Grell smiles and teases back "But you can't see where my hands are from over there~" Sebastian bursts out in a guilty laughter. Grell notices the true humor Sebastian found in that. He smiles but continues to hope he isn't just being lead on by the enchanting demon butler.
Their meal seemed to be normal between two friends from that point on until Ran Mao asks if they would like dessert. Sebastian looks up and says "You don't have what I want on the menu." "Pardon me." Sneers Ran Mao knowing exactly what he meant. If Sebastian keeps on this way Grell might begin to take him seriously. The only thing keeping Grell from jumping at the chance is own fear and low self esteem. He wouldn't let a captivating man break his heart he knew better than that…or so he hoped…
Sebastian and Grell get caught up in an excellent conversation and are joined by loyal friends of the Phantonhive enterprise. Grell and Sebastian are having the time of their lives it seems and Sebastian seems to be in awfully high spirits. "You know I'm still in the mood for dessert." Sebastian teases with a cocky self confident smile. Grell grins and giggles a little at his sexual vulgarities. He rises from his seat to go ask one of the guests something but suddenly the Phantomhive associate interrupts him. "You know he's serious, right?" He asks confronting his casual attitude. "No he's not. He's joking. You know Sebastian." He tries to reassure himself. "Trust me he's not joking." He retorts with a sour face.
Grell nervously smiles and walks back over to Sebastian. While Sebastian talks to the other guests Grell stares at him wondering if this was the truth? Beyond any reasonable doubt Grell still doesn't think highly enough of himself to be confident just yet. Soon after the guests depart someone enters who isn't one of the many wonderful coy ladies serving them. Grell and Sebastian look up from their table to see a long black robe and scarred face smiling at them with a familiar manner.
"Undertaker?" Asks Sebastian as he rises from his seat barely noticing the room was completely empty except for him and Grell. "You seem surprised to see me." Jokes Undertaker. "Uh no, sorry wasn't expecting to see you here." Sebastian said trying to amend his rudeness. Grell chuckles and sarcastically adds "He didn't know you leave your shop. Sit down what bring you to Lau's fine establishment?"
"Meeting some old acquaints from the Shinigami Academy."
The Undertaker arrived just when Grell and Sebastian were getting smitten but thankfully Undertaker doesn't over stay his welcome. Even as unusual as it seems-Undertaker and Sebastian always got along fairly well. It must be their similar sense of humor that always kept them entertained with one another. With him departing Grell and Sebastian begin to grow bored, and Grell suggests going downstairs to Lau's secret basement where his costumers enjoy smoking in private.
Mao Ran gives them a private room showing her upmost hospitality to the friends of her lord. Two other gentlemen sit across from them smoking together peacefully. (One of them being a Phantomhive associate from dinner.) She brings Grell some imported vodka and they begin to relax sitting casually together on a couch. Sebastian wraps one arm around Grell's waist as a sign of friendly affection. Grell begins to feel even more adventurous as he begins to feel light headed. He recklessly begins to hit on Sebastian and fall into the demon's seductive trap. Sebastian seems to be bothered by Grell's casual flirtatious manner. Grell begins to feel tired from the alcohol and finds himself resting against Sebastian.
Both of them get extremely comfortable just like before when they ended up lying in each other's arms in a comfortable silence. Grell is close enough for Sabastian to smell the strong scent of the liquor on his breath and asks politely for a taste. To Sabby's dismay the smell of Sebastian's favorite liquor taunts him as he smells it on Grell's lips. Sebastian affectionately starts rubbing Grell's side in his sexual frustration.
Grell seductively smiles at Sabby and taunts further "I don't like to be teased. High or lower~" Sebastian feeling threatened by his snide remark starts to rub lower near Grell's hips and eventually lower. "Nnn~" Grell stifles a moan from the mere touch of Sebastian. Grell begins to get hormonal now that Sebastian has quickly whisked his hand down his pants. The sexual tension is rising in the air and Grell begins to squirm with the urge.
Grell couldn't believe this was one of his first nights free and alone with the enchanting demon butler. Sebastian's eyes glow with an inviting warmth. He looks at Grell as if wishing Grell would kiss him. Inside Grell he is a wreck. He remembers the cuddling and the vulgar sexual mentions from before. Was this really what Sebastian wanted or was Grell in too deep? If he took the chance would it result in his own embarrassment? Would he even kiss him back? Grell begins to work up some courage deep within his gut.
He grins intimately at Sebastian tracing his perfect lips with his eyes and reaches for Sebastian's face. Grell is reassured by Sebastian's positive reaction and kisses the sweet lips of the butler. He exhales heavily relieved that went well. He gets caught up in the moment feeling there would be no consequences for his bold move. Grell becomes restless and pounces on the opportunity to have Sebastian to himself.
At this point the two men smoking near by leave not wanting to witness their intimate moment. Shortly there after Ran Mao enters exclaiming "There is no sex in the smoking room!" Sebastian and Grell chuckle while kissing having no intention of stopping. Grell becomes slightly annoyed when she repeats herself because Sebastian keeps chuckling and he fears he will stop taking it seriously. Ran Mao exits the room because in all honesty she could care less but she new Lau would have been more than slightly offended.
Sebastian and Grell rub there bodies together as they hold each other close lying kissing lustfully. He jumps onto Sebastian and starts to loose control of his body. Grell lowers his hips and discovers Sebastian is also very excited this is taking place. He can't help it anymore and starts thrusting against Sebastian. Grell can't believe Sebastian is that hard over him. Grell pushes against Sebastian's erection and continues to lustfully indulge in the butler's sweet but dominant kiss. Sebastian had a way of coming off gentle and concerned but inside he was manipulative and dominant making him a toxic interest.
Sometime passes before Sebastian checks his pocket watch and realizes they had gotten caught up in the moment for about two hours since he last checked the time. Grell sits up realizing his dream night would have to come to an end. Sebastian uncomfortably rises from his seat reviewing in his mind what had just happened. Grell stands up and embraces Sebastian pretending to not notice how irresponsible their actions were.
Grell innocently kisses Sebastian one more time before he opens the black Phantomhive coach. Grell sits down and begins to wonder if that was a mistake since Sabby was obviously devoted to Ciel, or was this Grell's chance at something he never knew could be reality? Was Sebastian just using him because his young master wasn't around? Did he actually have innocent intentions towards Grell? But he thought this might be the only chance I'll ever get. He'd accept Sebastian's lust even if it wasn't his loving devotion. Grell sighed and decided to head home for the night.
