I finally updated. Sorry if I kept you waiting to long. Hope you enjoy~
Grell groaned as soon as she saw little kids swarm her house, invading her privacy. Why did her little sister have to have her birthday party here?! Couldn't she just scamper off somewhere else and annoying the living hell out of someone else? She growled when they started screaming for attention.
'This is going to be a long day' she thought disdainfully.
At least her friends were coming over to distract her from the obvious pain she was in. She walked into the kitchen and passed by her foster mother, who was preparing lunch for all the little kids.
"Grell dear could you please help me with putting the food out?" Lilian asked, grabbing some party pies out of the oven.
"Sorry, can't. I'm busy" Grell replied as she took a pie off the hot plate, not caring how hot it was.
Lilian frowned. "Why not?"
Grell pointed her finger. "I'm not catering for those little obnoxious, loud brats. Besides, I'm preparing for some guests."
"What guests? Grell what guests?"
Grell ignored her as she walked out of the room, taking a bite of her pie. But Lilian just came after her, standing at the bottom of the stair well as Grell started to ascend it.
"What guests Grell?" Lilian demanded.
Grell sighed, stopping and turning to her. "If you must know I'm having my friends over."
Lilian looked horrified, shaking her head. "No you're not. They are boys. Courtney wants just an all girl's party. Your father went out because he respect's her wishes."
Grell rolled her eyes, flicking a strand of hair out of her face. "Does it look like I care what that snotty nosed brat wants? You see the fucks I'm giving cause I sure as hell don't?"
Lilian gaped. "Please refrain from using that language today Grell."
"Make me" Grell replied with an attitude with a swing of her hips before she went back up stairs, her mother yelling the whole time. Grell ignored her and slammed her bedroom door in her face before the argument could escalate any further. Grell sighed. Yep, it was going to be a long day.
Ciel showed up at Grell's house before any of the others did. He was nervous as he walked up the footpath. He knew he'd have to face Sebastian at some point but did it have to be now? So soon? Ciel sighed as he knocked on the door. It was instantly opened by Grell, relief flooding her face.
"Thank god!" she exclaimed as she hugged him, hanging on to him like a life line.
Ciel put an arm around her back and patted it. Grell didn't look like she was holding up to well.
"Are you alright?" Ciel asked after a while.
Grell peered up at him, her eyes wide with horror. "They're everywhere Ciel. EVERYWHERE. As soon as I walk in the kitchen there they are. As soon as I walk into the living room, there they are again. They're stalking me Ciel. Help me!"
"Grell! Where did you go?!" came Courtney's voice followed by loud and many footsteps.
Grell flinched. "Run Ciel! It's a stampede!"
Without warning she snatched his wrist and bolted up the staircase before little kids swarmed the front door, running after the poor teens. They made it just in time, Grell slamming and locking the door after them. Ciel lightly panted as he heard the footsteps recede, followed by loud yelling and giggling. He hadn't realised there were that many.
Grell sighed in relief. "Good, they're gone. I can't stand them."
She moved away from the door and sat on her bed, picking up Ruby and slinging her around her neck.
"So when will the others arrive?" Ciel queried.
Grell shrugged. "Soon I suppose. Why? You nervous about seeing Sebastian again?"
"Maybe."
Grell quirked a brow. "Ciel."
Ciel sighed. "Fine, yes I am nervous."
"Why?"
"Because I have no idea what to say or do. How do I even bring up the conversation? How do I even get him alone?"
"Ciel, you're overthinking this" Grell stated. "Don't worry, you'll sort it out. If I have to I'll lock you both in the bathroom till you sort it out."
Ciel gave a small smile. "I'd like to see you try."
Grell just smiled sweetly. Suddenly there were high pitched squeals that filled the house, followed by Lilian yelling before there was a knock on Grell's door. Grell and Ciel looked at each other before Grell answered the door to be met by the smiling face of Undertaker.
"Hey babe."
Ciel sighed. "So that's what all the screaming was about."
Undertaker grinned. "Yep. They called me a corpse before they ran away screaming."
"I can see why, you are really pale. What is your skin colour anyway?"
Undertaker blinked under his silver bangs. "Zombie" he replied simply.
"I hate little kids."
Grell and Ciel looked behind Undertaker to see Ronald walk in behind him, entering the comfort of the room.
"I second that" Grell replied.
"Those little things just attacked me as soon as I walked in" Ronald complained. "I apparently reminded them of some famous singer and they wouldn't stop squealing about it. I'm thankful that Sebastian and Undertaker scared them away."
Ciel gulped at the mention of Sebastian's name as said person was pushed into the room by Undertaker so he could shut the door. Sebastian said nothing and just stared at the ground the whole time, not daring to look Ciel in the eyes.
Grell clapped her hands together. "Right, since we're all here the fun can begin!"
The rest of the day was spent in Grell's room, the teens trying to avoid from leaving the room as much as possible. By nightfall however, they started getting pissed when the young girls started playing Justin Bieber on the radio and all belting out the chorus of each and every song.
"My ears feel violated!" Ronald whined as he rocked back and forth in a tight ball.
Grell held her head in pain. "If I hear one more song I'm going to hurl."
"I have an idea" Sebastian spoke up, the first words he'd said all day. "Give me the snake."
Grell eyed Sebastian. "If you hurt her-"
"I won't woman. Now give her here."
Grell was hesitant but handed Ruby over. Sebastian gave her a nod, before he left the room. The rest of the gang waited in silence, listening to what was happening. A moment later they heard high pitched screams over the music before the music was finally turned off.
Ronald's eyes lit up as he uncurled himself. "We're free!"
Wanting to find out what happened the others raced downstairs, seeing Sebastian smirk to himself.
"What happened?" Grell asked.
"I put Ruby in the girl's sleeping bags" Sebastian replied, gesturing to all the blankets piled on the floor. "One of them found her and they all screamed and ran away before Ruby could bite any of them. Now they'll be sleeping in your sister's room."
Grell smiled brightly. "Really? You are a legend Bassy!"
Sebastian smiled before he picked Ruby up off the floor and handed her back. He glanced at Ciel out of the corner of his eye before he quickly looked away. Ciel frowned.
"Now that we have the lounge room all to ourselves let's watch Friday the 13th!" Grell grinned before she looked over at Ciel and Sebastian. "Maybe after we have a drink. Ronald, Unny, you wanna come with?"
Undertaker nodded and Ronald just stared. "Nope I'm good."
Grell glared at him and hit him over the head. "Ow, what was that for?" Ronald whined.
Grell subtly flicked her head in the direction of Ciel and Sebastian, trying to get Ronald to get the idea. He blinked a few times before it hit him.
"Oh, yeah I'll come."
Grell rolled her eyes before she closed the doors of the living room, giving Ciel and Sebastian as much privacy as they needed. Both stood there for a while, neither knowing what to say or do. Ciel swallowed the lump in his throat.
"Sebastian, we need to talk."
"They're been in there for a while now" Ronald frowned. "You think they're alright?"
Undertaker shrugged, leaning back in his chair. "I'm sure they're alright. They just need time to sort things out Ronald. No need to rush this."
Ronald sighed. "Yeah, I guess you're right. It's just I hate to see friends fight."
"I know. But I'm sure everything will turn out for the better. Just wait and see."
Ronald gave a confused look, not really sure what Undertaker was talking about. He'd been so focused on Ciel and Sebastian that he hadn't noticed that Grell had wandered off.
"Hey Undertaker, where did your girlfriend go?"
Undertaker tapped his chin with his nail. "Hmm, I think she mentioned something about going on a red velvet cupcake hunt. If you have noticed she's already gathered quite a few on the table."
Undertaker pointed to the kitchen table behind him and Ronald gulped. It looked like Grell had built some sort of shrine for the cupcakes. Wow, he really wasn't paying attention to anything else around him. He knew she loved velvet cupcakes but how far was she willing to go? Ronald then averted his gaze to the floor, seeing many bottles of red wine scattered around. This just made him nervous.
"Uh Undertaker, how many bottles has Grell had?"
"A few."
"How much is a few?"
"About 3 or 4."
Ronald's eyes widened. "Oh dear god help us all."
-Back in the living room-
"So it's decided then?" Sebastian asked.
Ciel nodded. "Yeah."
Sebastian frowned, putting a comforting hand on his shoulder. "Are you sure this is what you want? If you're too uncomfortable-"
Ciel shook his head, giving Sebastian a small smile. "I'll be fine. Besides, I think it's for the best."
Sebastian nodded. "Alright then, you ready to go back to the others?"
Ciel lifted his head up. "Yeah. I am."
"Alright then."
Sebastian went to walk out before Ciel lightly grasped his hand. Sebastian looked back.
"Yes?"
Ciel lightly bit his bottom lip. "Can I...Can I have a kiss?"
Sebastian blinked in surprise before he smiled. "Of course you can."
Ciel smiled before Sebastian wrapped his arms around his small waist and his lips descended on his in a soft, passionate embrace. They pulled apart and smiled at each other.
"Come on, let's go tell the others" Sebastian said, all giddy as he took Ciel's hand in his.
'I've never seen Sebastian this happy before' Ciel thought with a small smile.
When they exited the room, their happy faces fell off and formed into expressions mixed with surprise and confusion. The scene before them was quite...unexpected. Courtney was hog tied on the kitchen table with a gag in her mouth muffling her screams as tears fell from her face. Undertaker was sitting on a chair, laughing his pale ass off as Grell had Ronald pinned down to the floor, a knife held to his throat. Neither Sebastian nor Ciel knew what to say, all they could do was watch.
"Where are the cupcakes Ronald!" Grell growled out, holding the knife just under his chin.
"You have all the cupcakes!" Ronald quivered in fear, tears at the corners of his eyes.
Grell's eyes narrowed. "Where are they?!"
"Right there on the table where you put them" Ronald squeaked, pointing to the table.
Courtney screamed again, the noise barely audible. "Shut up sacrificial goat" Grell snapped.
"Grell...Grell is that blood or icing on your face?"
Grell pulled Ronald up further into a sitting position, the knife still positioned under his chin. He didn't dare make a move, not with the knife at his throat. A bead of sweat rolled down his forehead as he looked at the murderous glare in Grell's eyes. This is why you never allow Grell to have more than two bottles of wine unless you have a death wish.
"Grell, Grell. You-You're beautiful. You don't want to do this to me!" Ronald cried out.
Undertaker had no intention of helping him so he was on his own. Ronald wracked his brain, trying to think of things to get him out of this situation. He was desperate by now.
"Give them to me Ronald!" Grell demanded, pressing the knife deeper into his throat, almost slicing the skin.
"Please Grell; I'll do anything you want!" Ronald cried desperately in a feeble attempt to calm her down. "I'll...I'll do your hair! You can do my hair!"
Grell's face lit up. "Okay."
Ronald's eyes widened in horror. "Fuck."
By now Undertaker had fallen off his chair and was rolling on the floor, clutching his sides as he laughed. Ronald started to shake violently as Grell put down the knife, hauled him to his feet and dragged him in the direction of the bathroom.
"No!" Ronald cried.
The confusion that was written on Sebastian's face suddenly lifted as he gave a Cheshire grin.
"Oh I can't miss this. Be back in a minute."
Sebastian gave Ciel a small kiss on the forehead and let go of his hand as he ran after Grell and Ronald whipping out his phone in the process. Ciel just stood still, not exactly sure what to do. He looked back over at Grell's little sister.
"Undertaker, care to explain why Courtney is hog tied on the table?"
Undertaker got up off the floor, giggling a few times as he tried to calm down enough to explain what happened.
"Grell thought she could please the red velvet cupcake gods by giving them a blood sacrifice."
Ciel's eyes widened. "What?"
Undertaker burst out into laughter again at the look on Ciel's face. Ciel shook his head. "Oh lord."
A pained, girlish scream echoed through the halls.
"Not the hair!"
"Hold still Ron! I haven't finished putting all of the wine in!"
Curious, Ciel and Undertaker ran to the bathroom to see what was transpiring. It brought a wide grin to their faces and lots of laughter. Ronald was sobbing pathetically on the floor as Grell poured red wine all though his hair, massaging the liquid into his locks. Sebastian was recording all of it on his phone as he did his best to capture all of Ronald's pain.
"Now we get the scissors" Grell hummed as she put down the empty wine bottle and grabbed the scissors off the counter.
Ronald backed up in horror. "No. Stay away from me!"
"Come on Ron I just want to cut off that cow lick of yours."
"Not the cow lick!"
Ronald scrambled around the room, trying his best to get away from the crazy red head. Thinking Ronald had enough torture for one night Undertaker put a hand on Grell's shoulder.
"Dear, didn't you want to watch Friday the 13th?"
Grell stopped chasing Ronald. "Oh yeah. But that was after plushie and Bassy sorted everything out. So did they?"
Sebastian put his phone away as he stood beside Ciel and nodded.
"We did."
"And?"
Sebastian and Ciel smiled at each other. "We're going out" Ciel replied.
Grell's face lit up. "That's great plushie!"
Grell threw the scissors away (which just narrowly missed Ronald) and gave Ciel a big hug. Undertaker just grinned and pat Sebastian on the back.
"Good job. I knew you'd get there one day."
Grell detached from the hug with Ciel and punched Sebastian on the shoulder. "What took you so long?"
Sebastian just grunted. Ronald stood up. "Congratulations you guys. Now can we please get out of the bathroom?"
Grell lead them out of the bathroom and back into the living room, putting the movie on. They all sat down on the couches; Grell cuddled up to Undertaker, Ciel sitting on Sebastian's lap as he wrapped his arms around his waist and Ronald was all alone on the floor, a pillow his only company. During the movie Ciel flinched a few times when he saw some pretty gory things, turning around and hiding himself in Sebastian's chest. He pat Ciel on the back, trying to tell him it was alright while he kept watching. Undertaker and Grell weren't fazed at all and Ronald occasionally buried his head in the pillow. At some point Grell got up and said she was going to the bathroom. They didn't really pay attention though, eyes glued to the T.V. They did however pay attention when she came back. Grell kicked in the door, wearing a hockey mask and holding a chainsaw. At the time, Ronald hadn't realised it was her and jumped out of his skin, screaming as he launched himself to his feet and started running. He soon met a wall as he smashed right into it, making him fall back down to the ground. Undertaker just laughed and Ciel squeaked, curling up into a ball and holding onto Sebastian. Sebastian didn't even react and just soothed Ciel.
"Don't worry; it's just the crazy lady."
"Okay" came Ciel's muffled reply.
Grell started laughing as she took of the mask and put the chainsaw down. "That was so worth it."
Ronald got up off the ground and groaned, clutching his bleeding nose.
"Thanks Grell."
Blood pooled out of his nose and started to drip down his chin. Sebastian sighed as he went to the kitchen.
"Come on Ciel; let's get you a glass of water. You too Ronald, let's fix that broken nose."
Both males complied as Ciel shut the door behind him, leaving Grell and Undertaker alone in the living room. Sebastian gave Ciel a drink before he proceeded to help Ronald. It took about half an hour before they finally had the bleeding under control.
"Done. Let's go back."
Ronald put his hand on the handle of the door and was about to twist it until Sebastian stopped him.
"What?" Ronald asked.
"Shh, listen" Sebastian replied.
They were all silent as they listened for any noise. They heard a loud thump followed by a loud moan.
Sebastian sighed. "I suggest we don't go back in there for another two hours."
