The Phantomhive manor was peaceful and quiet today, that was a first. Sebastian happily breathed in the fresh summers air and let out a contented sigh as he laid the last stroke of his signature with white paint to his masterpiece. There, perfect. Though, according to Sebastian, any picture of a cat is.
That's when it happened. The whole manor shook as an explosion could be heard coming from the kitchen. Not a moment later, he heard Mei-rin shriek, followed by the sound of smashing porcelain plates. Before Sebastian could even gather his thoughts and think of what to do next, he heard the demon hound howl and to his surprise he saw Finniard riding on its neck, laughing as the damned thing kept releasing fire, occasionally setting a tree on fire.
Sebastian put two fingers up to the side of his head, which was as close as he would ever come to a face-palm.
"Please excuse me, my lord"
"Very well, but make it quick" his master ordered.
Sebastian hurried along to the kitchen first, forming his lecture in his mind as he ran when suddenly, there was a loud knock from the front door.
"What now? " Sebastian muttered under his breath.
He looked between the kitchen and the front doors before deciding that his lecture could wait. He gave them one everyday anyway and it's not like they ever listened. He approached the door and looked through the eyehole. Whoever was there, was standing out of view. He flung the doors open and to his surprise, Grell Sutcliff fell onto his chest and knocked him over.
"Grell!? What are you doing here?" he exclaimed.
"You mean the blue haired brat didn't tell you?"
"Watch what you say about my master" warned Sebastian.
"Yes, yes I know" Grell paused for effect..."My lord"
Sebastian sighed.
Grell blushed as he realised that he was still hovering over him but realised that he should get up before he got too excited. He jumped away from Sebastian, laughing nervously, and blushed as he saw Sebastian's confused face as he lay on the floor. He was so cute.
Sebastian gathered himself and stood up before making his way to the earl's study. He paused and turned back to look at Grell who was still hovering in the doorway.
"Are you coming?"
"Oh Bassy, take me, I'm yours."
Sebastian sighed again.
"Is this part of my payment?"
Payment? Sebastian was now thoroughly confused. Why could a peaceful moment never last in the manor?
They reached the door of the master's study. Sebastian glanced at Grell one last time before he knocked.
"My lord, may I come in?"
"Yes"
Ciel was surprised to say the least when he saw the reaper follow Sebastian into his study.
"What is that doing here?"
"I was hoping you could answer that, my lord"
"Me? How should I know?"
"I'm here for my payment" announced Grell.
Ciel drew in a sharp breath, he should have expected this.
"My lord, what is he talking about?"
"Yes Grell, I remember; a Phantomhive always keeps his word"
"My lord?"
Ciel turned to face his Butler.
"Sebastian...this is an order. For the next 24 hours, you belong to Grell and will do anything he asks, make him happy"
Grell looked at him with wide begging eyes. Ciel sighed.
"And you have to kiss him...with tongue" he almost shuddered at the thought.
"M-master!?"
"Need I repeat myself? Do as I said"
"O-of course, my lord"
Sebastian was going to get him back for this, but how? Maybe he'd kidnap lady Elizabeth, that should be fun.
"May I enquire as to what deal was made between the two of you that requires my servitude to Grell?"
"It was simple, really. He helped me rescue Lizzy while you were unavailable, the only way I could get him to do it was to promise him the one thing he wanted most which happened to be you."
"I see"
"Besides, I don't see how it will inconvenience me so I had no problem with it"
"My lord, you must be joking. You can barely dress yourself without my help"
"I'll be fine! Now go with Grell and stop wasting my time"
"Yes, my lord"
He took it back, he was going to kill Lizzy for this. After all, if she hadn't had gotten herself kidnapped, he wouldn't have to do this.
"Come on Bassy"
His eyebrow twitched.
"Yes...master"...
I'm not sure how many chapters there are going to be in this but I think it will be about 5, maybe 6, hope you'll enjoy it :D
Chapter 2: The first couple of hours of Sebastian's servitude to Grell. Will he get his kiss with tongue? Wait and see...
Until then,
