Once Grell had changed into warmer clothes, and had a cup of tea in his hands, Sebastian made a fire while Grell sat down on his red couch. "T-thank you, Sebastian." Sebastian looked at Grell in wonder. "What? No nicknames for me?" He smiled. "I just thought you would be tired of hearing them, especially after you helped me." Sebastian sat down across from Grell on another couch, "What else do you have planned for us today?" Grell smiled. "I was thinking we could go have an early supper, then we could go dancing….?" Grell asked hopefully. "As you wish." Sebastian replied glumly. Grell finished his tea and they got up. "I'll just go get some proper clothes on." The red-head sauntered upstairs to change out of his pyjamas. Sebastian sat back down and thought what he should get his young master for Christmas this year…
When Grell came back downstairs, he was wearing black skinny jeans, a gold-studded belt and a graphic white tee, whilst wearing another pair of his red and black heels. Grell had also re-applied his make-up, and with this ensemble, he looked more feminine than usual; he actually looked like a girl now. Except for the fact that he was missing breasts. Once Grell had reached the bottom of the stairs, he looked at Sebastian eagerly. Sebastian didn't notice Grell as he walked quietly towards Sebastian, eyes locked on one feature. Grell stood in front of Sebastian and looked up at his red eyes, he traced his finger along his perfectly smooth, porcelain jaw line and through his shiny, raven black hair. Sebastian gave Grell a quizzical look as he moved even closer to the demon. Grell wrapped his arms around the tall butler and looked at his delicious lips, making Grell look adorably cross-eyed. Grell eyes' slowly shut as he pressed his lips against Sebastians'. Sebastian was shocked, but felt something… was it satisfaction? Grell kissed him, wanting more; he had dreamed of the day he would be able to kiss his dreamy lover. Sebastian gently placed his hands on Grell's thin waist as he was pushed against a wall. Sebastian pulled away from Grell's wanting lips and gasped, he realized where his hands were and pulled them back before Grell noticed. Grell, however, did notice but said nothing. He felt…baffled. He had just kissed the love of his dreams, and he had been kissed back…did that mean that Sebastian…? No…he hasn't kissed anyone in years, probably decades, he only kissed me back because he liked the feeling, not who he was kissing…
They didn't talk while they walked to wards the restaurant. Grell broke the silence, he couldn't take it any longer. "Sebas-chan…back there…did you kiss me?" Sebastian was angry, mostly with himself. He shoved his hands into his pockets and marched forward. Grell had to jog slightly to keep up. "Sebas-chan-?" He was pushed against a brick wall suddenly and hit his head, which caused his vision to blur momentarily. Grell couldn't see Sebastian's face, but he was yelling at him. "Will you stop calling me these ridiculous names?! My name is Sebastian, not Sebas-chan, or Bassy! You will call me by my name! And back there, I didn't kiss you, I mean I did, but only because I hadn't kissed anyone in over 25 years! I've longed for that kind of action that cannot be fulfilled by a 12 year-old boy! OR a raving gender-confused lunatic! I've had enough of your nonsense! Stop liking me, find someone else! Its disturbing and beyond annoying! So stop it already." Sebastian's face was red with anger, his face was inches from Grell's and he was breathing somewhat heavily. Grell stood there shocked, he hadn't wanted to annoy Sebastian… Sebastian removed his arms that were pinning Grell to the wall and stuffed them back into his pockets. "I'm so sorry Sebasti-" "Don't apologize, its over now. Let's go eat." Sebastian turned and started walking again. Grell followed quietly.
They sat outside where there was a slight breeze and the sun was setting. They ordered their food and ate silently. After their meal, Sebastian ordered a cappuccino while Grell starred at the setting sun, holding back tears. "Grell, I'm sorry I yelled at you. Please forgive me." Sebastian was looking directly at Grell. Grell nodded and try to wipe a falling tear before Sebastian noticed. "Grell, are you crying?" "N-no.." He replied unconvincingly. "Come here." Sebastian pushed his seat back a bit and mentioned for Grell to sit on his lap. He did. Grell lay his head on Sebastian's shoulder who wrapped his arms around Grell. Awhile later, Grell felt an amusing vibration between his legs. "Ohhh Sebas-chan… what are you doing?" He moaned softly, his usual personality back. Sebastian glowered at him and said, "That would be my phone, Grell. Please get up." Grell got up and absentmindedly played with his hair while sitting back down in his seat. He had received a text, from his young master.
" R u staying at Grell's for the night? *wink* " Sebastian glared at his phone and put it away. Such vile foolery. Sebastian paid for their meal and they made their way back to Grell's home.
Grell twisted his key into the lock and pushed open the door. They two men walked in and closed the door. Grell looked at Sebastian awkwardly, unsure about what to do next. Sebastian started towards the stairs. "Let's get you dressed then." He said as he walked up the stairs. Grell followed, intrigued.
Sorry, i forgot to mention this, but starting in the next few phrases, Grell will be mentioned as a girl, and will be a girl. It seemed easier and cuter and possibly more realistic to the story (also, without Grell being a girl, the ending (ch.7) wouldn't have been possible)
Grell found Sebastian in his room, rummaging through his walk-in closet, looking through his gowns, which he only bought because they looked lovely and because they were beautiful shades of red. Sebastian picked out a floor-length red gown, it was for a lady of course but Sebastian picked it none the less. It was décolleté, made-to-measure and had a voluminous, gauged skirt. The back of the dress showed part of Grell's back and was to be laced up. To go with it, Sebastian picked out red elbow-length satin gloves and a pair of red heels to match. While Sebastian was picking out what Grell was to wear, Grell was undressing himself. When Sebastian stepped out of the closet he saw that Grell was about to remove his pants and immediately turned around to avoid his eyes and Grell's embarrassment. Sebastian handed the dress to Grell without looking at him and waited till Grell asked him for help. Sebastian placed the shoes and the gloves on the bed and turned to tie up the back of Grell's dress. He made a delicate knot and handed Grell his gloves and mentioned for Grell to sit on his bed. While the lady put her gloves on, Sebastian carefully put Grells' shoes on, noticing that he had smooth feet and flawless legs. Even though Grell was a man, he shaved his legs and tried to present himself as a lady as often as possible. Sebastian guided Grell to his vanity desk and started to brush his long, red hair. The brush glided through his hair as if it were water. Grell took such good care of his hair; it felt like silk through Sebastian's long fingers. He carefully dressed Grell's hair in an elegant up-do. It was a messy bun with a few stray hairs to frame Grell's face. It made his visage look even more feminine. Sebastian carefully combed Grell's bangs so they swept across his forehead without obstructing his face.
Then he applied concealer to Grell's face, even though the Reaper didn't need it, his face was so soft. Sebastian continued to apply Grell's makeup; he lined the top of the eyelids with black liner and brushed his eyelashes upward with mascara, and held them in place with an eyelash curler. Then he added a light mauve blush to his cheeks, too much of one colour isn't pretty. Then Sebastian applied a shiny rose gloss to Grell's lips, without Sebastian asking him, he rubbed his lips together so the gloss would spread across his thin but rosy lips. "Grell, do you have any earrings?" Grell hmm-mmed and went to his bedside table and opened a small drawer where there were several little boxes inside. He picked one and removed little red ruby earrings. He put them on his ears and turned to face Sebastian. He looked…stunning, no… elegant, Grell's beauty at the moment couldn't be described in words.
The dress fit so well on Grell, and his hair up was up for a change, which made him look like a woman. Sebastian was pleased with his work; he smiled. "Grell, do you, by any chance, have a suit I could borrow for the evening?" Grell nodded and walked into the guest bedroom and appeared moments later carrying a black suit, shirt, shoes and tie with him; all in Sebastian's size. He raised an eyebrow at the convenience of it all. Grell smiled but didn't say anything. He laid the clothes on the bed and closed the door behind him as he left the room, letting Sebastian dress in privacy. 5 minutes later, Sebastian walked down the stairs to find Grell looking up at him adoringly. Sebastian scowled at the admiration.
Grell placed a red shawl over his shoulders and stepped outside. It was chillier than before, but the sky was beautiful; all the stars sparkled brightly against the dark, velvety, blue sky. A horse-drawn carriage was waiting for them. Sebastian held out his hand and Grell placed his feminine fingers over top, as Sebastian helped him into the carriage. Sebastian stepped in gracefully afterwards, barely rocking the carriage and closed the door. The driver started the horse and the carriage rocked slowly back and forth as they made their way to the ball. When they arrived barely 10 minutes later, the driver stepped down and pulled down the little steps and opened the door. Sebastian came out first and held out his hand to Grell, who accepted it and carefully stepped down. Sebastian tipped the driver and they made their way to the entrance.
