The next morning, Sebastian woke as birds tweeted past Grell's open bedroom window. He yawned and looked at his companion. Her soft, delicate features, and her beautiful, long red hair. He rolled onto his side and starred at Grell. He raised his hand and gently caressed her cheek, trying not to wake her. She slept beautifully; she didn't make a sound and breathed calmly. He ran his fingers through her crimson red locks, carefully disentangling the knots he had made the previous night. He remembered what happened and tried to think of why he did it. Why did he spend the night…with Grell? Never mind…I'm happy now. Grell moaned as she woke up. Her eyelids fluttered open and looked up at the man of her dreams. She smiled. "Is this a dream?" She asked. It must be, she thought. "No. No, it isn't." Sebastian leaned down and kissed the top of Grell's head. He continued to stroke her hair as they stared into each others eyes.
After awhile, Sebastian frowned and drops his hand. "I…" He couldn't say it. "Please don't go." Grell begged. "But I have to." He replied sadly. Grell gets out of bed and slips on Sebastian's dress shirt, which is somewhat translucent and shows her red bra underneath, with red panties poking out from the bottom. She sits on the bed, tucks a strand of hair behind her ear and leans down to kiss Sebastian. He kisses her back, wishing he didn't have to leave. Finally, Sebastian breaks the kiss and gets up, wearing only his briefs. He gets a black tee on and goes to the bathroom. Grell walks downstairs and starts making coffee. Sebastian comes down, now wearing pants. Grell turns around and carries two mugs to the island, where Sebastian sits down. Grell sits down beside him and they drink their coffee quietly. They both think about last night, and what the future will be like. Grell takes both empty mugs to the sink, and turns around, looking at Sebastian. She walks towards him, slowly. She brings her face right up against Sebastian's and kisses him. Sebastian can't help but kiss back, its almost like a weakness of his now.
He remembers his young master, and how much he needs his butler. He musters all the strength he can, and gently pushes Grell away. He gets up and goes back upstairs. He gets dressed properly and makes the bed and organizes the room somewhat, so Grell won't have much to do afterwards. He hangs her dress on a hook on the closet door, and puts the shoes, gloves and jewelry away. Then he goes back downstairs and sees Grell holding a tissue tightly in her hand. She's crying, because she knows that she and Sebastian can't be together, that beat of a master of his is always ordering him to do something. Sebastian puts his arms around Grell and tries to soothe her and she puts her arms around him too. "Goodbye, my love." He whispers into her ear before turning to the door. Grell follows him and stands at the doorway. "Sebastian…" She says uncertainly. He turns around, and Grell runs towards him and jumps into his awaiting arms. Grell crushes her lips against his and they can't help but express their love. They don't care about the people who walk by and stare, they only care about each other. Finally, Grell breaks the kiss and Sebastian lets her down. He turns and walks towards the Phantomhive Mansion, leaving Grell behind him, broken-hearted.
They can't be together. Sebastian won't tell his young master what happened that night, and Grell doesn't risk a visit to the mansion; they don't want Ciel to know about their love. Being a demon butler, Sebastian doesn't have any spare time, he only has a few minutes to himself between meals to spend time with the cats he hides in his closet. At night, Ciel sends him on numerous errands, seeing as demons don't need sleep. But he thinks of Grell constantly, wishing he was by her side.
