Chapter 5
Grell moaned sleepily as he slowly awoke. He yawned and stretched his spine. Grell felt warmth beside and around him. He opened his eyes and was elated to see he was curled up against Sebastian and his head was resting on Sebastian's chest.
Sebastian's arm was wrapped protectively around Grell, eyes closed and relaxed. Grell smiled and watched him. He looked more relaxed than Grell had ever seen. Grell closed his own eyes and sighed happily.
"Falling asleep again, are we?" Sebastian asked, eyes still closed but a small smirk playing on his lips. Grell giggled and snuggled closer.
"No. I'm just enjoying laying with you," he replied, blushing a bit. Sebastian's smile widened slightly as his arm tightened on Grell's hip.
"Are you sore?" he taunted playfully. Grell rubbed his leg against Sebastian's.
"Very sore. I like it," he replied with a grin. Sebastian chuckled.
"Really? That's interesting."
His fingers slightly pinched Grell's exposed skin. Grell leaned up and placed a few kisses along Sebastian's cheek.
"Mhmm," he purred. Grell tilted his head a bit and lightly grazed Sebastian's ear with his teeth. Sebastian slid his hand up Grell's spine with a smile.
"If you're trying to get another round out of me, it won't happen," Sebastian warned. Grell pulled back to look at him.
"I'm not. I just like being near you and being able to touch you without getting beaten up," he replied with a smile as he absentmindedly drew random patterns on Sebastian's chest with his fingers.
Sebastian smiled fondly at Grell.
"Haha, well you have time to get used to it. Now what can I make you for breakfast?"
He gently pushed a stray red lock out of Grell's face. Grell sighed at the gentle gesture.
"Anything is fine. Everything you make is delicious," he said with a serene smile. Grell let his hand wander over Sebastian's muscles. Sebastian let his fingertips brush against Grell's cheek.
"You want me to surprise you?" he confirmed. The Reaper's red-pained fingernails tickled against Sebastian's skin. Grell grinned and kissed him.
"Yep," he replied, reluctantly moving away so Sebastian could get up. Sebastian sat up, the blankets slipping farther down the ivory skin.
"Do you have any requests, or do I have full freedom on the subject?"
Grell blushed and giggled lightly.
"You have full freedom to make whatever you want," he said, picking up his glasses from the nightstand and putting them on. Sebastian smiled, helping to pull Grell's hair through the chain.
"Do you want it in bed or in the dining room, milady?"
Grell thought for a moment.
"I think I'll eat in bed today. I'm rather sore after all," he laughed. Sebastian chuckled.
"It sounds like I did something right, hm?"
Sebastian cupped Grell's cheek and placed a chaste kiss on the red-head's lips. Grell smiled into the kiss.
"Of course you did. You're One Hell of a Lover, right?" he giggled. Sebastian laughed slightly.
"I think you have proved that, little lady." he stepped out of bed and dressed quickly. Grell smiled happily as he watched his handsome Demon. He felt so lucky to receive Sebastian's attentions. Sebastian gave a small bow and left the room.
Grell pushed his pillows up to recline against. He stretched with a wince and leaned back. Grell wondered what Sebastian would make as a surprise. Sebastian was back in less than 20 minutes with a full plate, tea, and a small bouquet of red roses. He placed the tray over Grell's lap with a smile.
"Breakfast, my lady."
Grell nearly swooned.
"Thank you, darling! You're so sweet," he trilled, grinning up at Sebastian. Grell took a sip of his tea before beginning breakfast. Sebastian smiled.
"What would you like me to tend to today, ma'am?" he asked with a small bow. Grell pat the other side of the bed.
"I want you to tend to me today," he giggled. "I'm sure the manor is in good shape for today. I just want to spend time with you."
Sebastian blinked.
"Correct me if I am wrong, Grell, but you have reapings to do today, do you not?"
Sebastian sat himself on the bed, hand on Grell's knee. Grell's expression darkened slightly.
"No. Will has my To Die List and I'm not going near him again anytime soon," he said, angrily biting off a piece of scone. Sebastian's eyes narrowed slightly.
"What did he do to you, Grell?"
He held back a growl. Grell leaned further back in his pillows.
"After yesterday morning…I had to go to Will's office because my To Die List needed an extension. He said I looked depressed, and then that he could smell a Demon. Will…he said I must have had a one night stand and that I'd also had to have woken up alone. He basically said I got what I deserve because I'm always talking about love and how wonderful it is," he explained, looking sadly up at Sebastian.
Sebastian tensed. How dare Spears say such a thing? Sebastian always knew William was a stick in the mud and total ass but this was hitting an all new low. He reached up and gingerly cradled Grell's cheek.
"I'm sorry, Grell..."
Sebastian couldn't help but share some of the responsibility for such an awful thing. Grell leaned into Sebastian's hand.
"You don't need to apologize again. Besides…he was wrong. But I still can't face him just yet," he replied, placing his hand over Sebastian's. Sebastian gave a small smile.
"I would like to inquire something about your past, Grell. You can answer or not."
He gently slid a hand through the red-head's hair. Grell sighed contentedly.
"Alright," he agreed, enjoying the feeling of Sebastian's fingers in his hair. Sebastian took a breath.
"Were you interested in Spears?" he inquired. Grell was surprised at the question.
"That's an odd question, darling. But…yes, once. It was brief, though. I merely thought he was somewhat attractive. There weren't many attractive Reapers around. Most of them were sooo old. So of course I was a little interested. But it quickly went away when he got his promotion and became the complete bastard that he is now," he explained. Then Grell grinned and wrapped his arms around one of Sebastian's and giggled. "Then I met you and any thoughts of Will flew right out of my head."
Sebastian smiled.
"Lucky me." He would have to keep that in mind when he saw Spears again. Might be a good way to throw him off during a battle. Grell raised an eyebrow.
"That almost sounded sarcastic, darling," he said, poking at Sebastian's cheek. Sebastian smirked.
"I don't see how; I am lucky."
His hand slid from Grell's knee to the Reaper's thigh. Grell blushed and smiled.
"It's just hard to tell sometimes. You can be difficult to read, Sebby," he replied, kissing where he'd poked him. Sebastian chuckled.
"That's the point, my lady." He slid his fingers through Grell's hair. "You'll learn to read me in time, Grell."
Grell sighed contentedly and wrapped his arms around Sebastian's neck.
"Hopefully sooner rather than later," he said, kissing him lightly. Sebastian returned the kiss.
"I'm sure you will. Now are you going to let your breakfast get cold?" he asked with a coy smirk. Grell whined and pulled away.
"You're so distracting, Sebby," he chided with a small smile. Grell picked up his plate and began to eat again. Sebastian chuckled and stood, clearing any mess from the night before.
Grell soon finished his breakfast and his tea.
"You're cooking is always perfect, darling," he commented, licking his lips and stretching out to lay seductively against the pillows. Sebastian chuckled at Grell's position.
"And you say I'm distracting." He approached the red-head and slid his fingers across Grell's side. "I told you another round wasn't going to happen this morning, Grell."
Grell pouted.
"Fine…but, why not?" he asked, shifting into a kneeling position so he could slide his arms around Sebastian's neck again. Sebastian gave a sweet smile and cupped Grell's cheek.
"I'm not sure how much you can take yet, Grell. I could end up seriously hurting you."
He gently rubbed his thumb against the soft skin. Grell leaned into the touch and smiled.
"That's so kind of you," he replied, kissing Sebastian sweetly. Sebastian gave a smile and cleared the dishes away.
"Are you going to get dressed or stay in bed all day?"
Grell got out of bed.
"I suppose I ought to get up. I'm not very good at being lazy," he replied with a smile. Grell made sure to give an extra swing to his hips as he sashayed to his wardrobe. Sebastian rolled his eyes at the gesture. Grell may not be good at being lazy, but he definitely had a knack for being desirable. Maybe Sebastian could give him a little love...
"Want some help?" his voice like silk. Grell grinned over his shoulder.
"I suppose so," he giggled. Sebastian smirked. He laid out Grell's attire and turned to the Reaper.
"Do you want help with everything?" Sebastian smirked, a hand gently rubbing Grell's shoulder. Grell's smile widened.
"Please," he replied, wriggling slightly. Sebastian slid the white shirt onto Grell's shoulders and buttoned it, never breaking eye contact, eyes seductively lidded. Grell blushed. He couldn't look away even if he wanted to. Sebastian's gaze was always so captivating.
Once the shirt was completed, Sebastian held up two pairs of panties.
"Which one would you like, milady?"
Grell blushed even more, though he couldn't stop a smile.
"Those," he said, gesturing to the red satin pair with black lace trim. Sebastian smiled.
"As you wish, my beauty."
Sebastian knelt down and held the article of clothing out. Grell giggled at the compliment and daintily stepped into the panties. Sebastian pulled the lace article up Grell's long legs, tantalizingly slowly. Grell lightly bit his lower lip. His face was quite pink by then.
Sebastian's hands slid across Grell's soft skin.
"Comfortable?"
His nimble hands caressed the Reaper's narrow hips. Grell nodded.
"Yes, thank you," he replied rather breathily. Sebastian smirked to himself as he stood.
"Good."
He grabbed the black trousers and knelt once again. Sebastian was definitely glad Grell wasn't the type to take full advantage of the contract like most humans would. Grell placed his hands on Sebastian's shoulders to steady himself as he stepped into his trousers.
Sebastian pulled them up and buttoned them.
"If I may be so bold, milady, I'm surprised you don't have more dresses and skirts."
Grell smiled.
"I do. Most of them are at my apartment though. I don't usually get to wear them, though," he replied. Grell's smile turned into a cheeky grin. "I can wear them more often if you'd like."
Sebastian smiled, tucking Grell's shirt into the trousers.
"I would very much like to see that, milady."
Maybe he would even buy Grell a few...alluring outfits for their own enjoyment. Grell giggled. He couldn't wait to wear some of his favorite skirts and dresses for Sebastian. Sebastian swiftly tied Grell's bow tie and buttoned his vest.
"Are you going to retrieve your outfits from you're apartment today or shall I get you some?"
Grell glanced down at the ground.
"I'd rather not go to my apartment today. I might run into Will on my way there or back," he replied, looking back up at Sebastian. Sebastian gave a comforting smile.
"I will get you some dresses today then," he gently kissed the back of Grell's hand. Grell just barely managed to stop himself from confessing his love then and there. He loved Sebastian so much, but he knew Sebastian didn't (or couldn't) feel the same; it would hurt more to hear Sebastian say that. Grell kissed him happily instead.
"Thank you, darling," he said. Sebastian kissed back, slipping a hand into Grell's hair and gripping firmly. He wasn't sure if he was feeling love but whatever he felt for the red-head was wonderful and it made him genuinely...happy.
"Of course, milady."
Grell smiled up at him.
"Do you need any money? I believe Madam Red left quite a bit behind in her safe," he inquired, resting his hands against Sebastian's chest. Sebastian smiled.
"That depends. How much do you want me to get you?" He slipped a hand around Grell's hips. Grell kissed him again.
"It doesn't have to be too much. I'll get the dresses and skirts from my apartment soon enough," he replied, kissing his jaw. Sebastian let his eyes slip closed contentedly.
"Alright. Do you want to come or shall I surprise you?"
His grip tightened slightly, pulling Grell closer. Grell thought for a moment as he continued planting small kisses along Sebastian's jawline. It was tempting to go, but he also wanted to be surprised.
"I like your surprises, Sebby. I think I'll wait here," replied Grell. Sebastian smiled. He had a few things he wanted to surprise Grell with.
"Don't get into trouble," he warned teasingly, pinching Grell's ass gently. Grell gasped and grinned.
"I'll try, darling," he replied with a giggle.
"Maybe I should tie you to the bed to make sure."
Sebastian gave a devilish smile and another, rougher pinch to the Reaper's rear. Grell moaned softly and wriggled excitedly.
"Maybe you should," he agreed with a wink.
"It seems to me that it would be more enjoyable for both of us were I with you. After all," he held Grell's wrists together tightly but gently, "being bound and alone isn't that much fun. Wouldn't you agree?"
Sebastian leaned in and licked the shell of Grell's ear seductively. Grell shivered and moaned.
"True…then maybe later?" he asked, arching against Sebastian. Sebastian gave a chuckle.
"You want to play with the idea?"
He was rather honored that Grell trusted him so much. Grell nodded enthusiastically.
"Yes," he replied. Grell could barely contain his excitement at the thought of being bound and helpless to whatever Sebastian wanted to do to him. It had been a fantasy of his for a while, among other things. Sebastian chuckled.
"As you wish, my beautiful red rose," he charmed. Sebastian was actually looking forward to such a night. Grell was definitely adventurous. Sebastian just barely held back licking his lips. Grell giggled and kissed him.
"I'll be looking forward to it," he purred. Sebastian pulled back with a smile.
"If you don't need anything else for the time being, milady, I'll go get you those dresses?" he inquired. Grell nodded and smiled.
"Alright. I can't wait to see what you'll get," he replied, hips swaying from side to side happily.
"Any special requests?"
Sebastian stepped back slightly. Grell shook his head.
"As long as they're red I'm fine with anything," he said. Sebastian chuckled. He had figured as much but it hadn't hurt to ask. He gave a bow.
"As you wish," he stood and exited the room with a final smile Grell's way.
Grell was curled up on the couch in the lounge with a book. He wondered what Sebastian would get him. Grell grinned; he hoped there would be something sexy. Sebastian entered the manor, arms full of bags. He walked into the lounge and smiled at Grell.
"Hello, dear. Good reading?"
He placed the bags down next to the couch. Grell set the book down and stood up to give Sebastian a kiss.
"Hello," he chirped. "I was reading Romeo and Juliet. It's my absolute favorite."
Sebastian returned the kiss gently.
"You have very sophisticated taste in literature, Grell," he smiled. Grell smiled back.
"Thank you, Sebby. Now ~ what did you get?" he asked, walking his fingers up Sebastian's chest. Sebastian chuckled.
"I can't keep anything from you for long can I?" he smiled lovingly. Grell kissed his cheek.
"Nope," he giggled. Sebastian laughed.
"Alright, Grell, sit down and I'll show you your new clothes."
Sebastian pushed on Grell's shoulders gently. Grell sat and crossed one leg over the other. His eyes shone eagerly as he waited for Sebastian to show him the clothes. Sebastian smirked.
"Good girl."
He opened one bag and held out a beautiful red satin dress with black frills on the sleeve-ends, neckline, and bottom trim. Grell squealed and reached out to take it.
"It's lovely!" he exclaimed. Sebastian chuckled, handing Grell the dress.
"I thought you would like it."
Grell draped it over his arm so he could stand and kiss Sebastian.
"I love it, darling," he replied. Sebastian smiled and reached into another bag.
"I'm glad to hear it, Grell."
Sebastian held up a light cherry-coloured tea dress with light pink trim. Grell squeaked and took the dress from him.
"It's so pretty! You certainly know what I like, Sebby," he trilled. Sebastian smiled.
"I guess I do."
He mulled the thought over for a moment then revealed another dress; a summer evening gown this time - black silk over a bright red skirt and bodice. Red roses decorated the shoulders and train. Grell almost swooned.
"Oh my!" He took the dress and admired it more closely.
"I asked them to tailor the roses especially for you."
Sebastian slipped behind Grell and snaked his arms around the small waist. Grell leaned against Sebastian and smiled back at him.
"You are absolutely perfect, Sebastian. I love it," he replied. Sebastian placed a gentle kiss on Grell's neck.
"I'm simply one Hell of a lover, Grell."
He stepped back and held out two more bags.
"Go ahead."
Grell opened the first bag and pulled out a dark red, velvet dress with short, airy sleeves. There were two crimson roses at the waist. Grell squealed again and pulled out the second dress. It reminded him of Madam Red's usual dress, though there was a bit of black trim along the neckline. Grell turned in Sebastian's arms and kissed him.
"You're so wonderful," he said. Sebastian wrapped his arms around Grell's hips, returning the kiss.
"I'm glad you think so, it means I'm living up to your expectations."
He slipped a hand up Grell's spine and into his hair. Grell smiled adoringly up at Sebastian.
"You always do. Most of the time you surpass them," he replied, kissing his cheek. Sebastian chuckled.
"That's good to hear." He leaned close. "Maybe I can do the same with that little experiment tonight."
He gave a sharp slap to Grell's rear. Grell squeaked and giggled.
"I'm sure you can," he said, leaning up to lightly nip at Sebastian's ear in retaliation. Sebastian pulled himself away before things got too carried away.
"Can I interest you in tea in the garden?" he purred. Grell smiled.
"Yes, please," he replied. "I'll just put these away first."
Sebastian gave a nod.
"I will meet you out there then."
He gently pet Grell's soft cheek, lost in the Reaper's sparkling eyes. Grell leaned into the touch with a small blush. After a moment he gave Sebastian a light kiss, then turned and headed upstairs.
Sebastian watched Grell walk upstairs with a smile. The longer he was with the red-head, the more Sebastian felt like he might actually be experiencing love... He walked out to the garden and set up the tea in the rose garden.
Grell entered his room and headed over the wardrobe. He opened it and was very surprised to see two new nightgowns hanging inside. Grell's eyes widened before he grinned.
"That sneaky Demon," he muttered fondly. Both nightgowns were short and red. The first had a lace sweetheart neckline and cap sleeves. Grell could tell it would end high above his knees. The second seemed to be made of chiffon and the neckline seemed mostly see-through. It looked as though it would end right at his knees.
Grell couldn't wait to wear them for Sebastian that night. He put the dresses inside, before deciding to wear the tea dress right then. Grell pulled it out and changed into it. He practically skipped to the mirror to see what it looked like. Grell squealed and wriggled happily at how nice it looked. He felt so pretty. After he finished admiring himself in the mirror he headed downstairs and into the garden.
Sebastian had just finished placing everything perfectly when Grell strode into the garden. A fond smile creased his features when he noticed Grell was wearing the tea dress. He gave a small bow and held out Grell's chair.
"You look stunning, Grell."
Grell grinned and blushed as he sat down.
"Thank you, Sebastian," he replied with a slight giggle. Sebastian pushed the chair in, slipping his hand through Grell's silky locks.
"My pleasure, milady."
He expertly poured Grell's tea. Grell couldn't stop smiling even as he sipped his tea. He was so happy to be with Sebastian. Everything seemed so perfect.
"I never thought of you to be the kind to ditch work. But then again, you are just full of surprises, aren't you?" an arrogant voice spoke from behind the two. Sebastian turned in a start to find William T. Spears glaring at them. Sebastian was shocked; how did the Reaper manage to slip by him?
Grell gasped and turned.
"Will!? What are you doing here?" he demanded, glaring at his superior. William stood authoritatively, Death Scythe clutched in his fist.
"I should be asking you the same thing, Sutcliff," he hissed. Grell sneered.
"You're the one that took my To Die List. I have no reason to be at work today," he replied, crossing one leg over the other with a haughty look. William's gaze narrowed slightly.
"You left your List in my office yesterday. I was finished with it and you left it."
He pushed his glasses up. Grell stood, glaring furiously.
"I asked for it back but you wouldn't stop mocking me long enough to give it to me!" he snapped, chainsaw appearing in his hands.
Sebastian quickly stepped between the two, holding Grell back with an arm.
"Spears, I must ask you to leave," he addressed the Reaper in a warning tone. William gave an amused chuckle.
"You really think he loves you, Demon?"
Sebastian arched an eyebrow.
"Do you think he doesn't?" he smirked. Grell narrowed his eyes at Will. What was he up to? William gave a cocky smirk.
"He thinks you love him, Sutcliff. But we know better, don't we?" his voice dripped venom as he glared at Grell. Grell's continued to glare back.
"What are you talking about?" he asked, preparing to rev up his chainsaw. Sebastian's eyes narrowed and he growled low in his throat. William glowered between the two.
"You don't remember?" he asked, his voice wavering slightly with suppressed anger. Grell raised an eyebrow.
"Clearly," he huffed. Sebastian thought he knew what William was talking about, but Grell had said he'd only had a passing interest in the other Reaper. A low growl rumbled up from William's throat. He turned to Sebastian.
"Sutcliff doesn't know what love is. He runs after the newest men in a heartbeat." He turned to glare at Grell. "He's nothing but a slut."
Grell's eyes widened and his jaw dropped.
"How dare you!? That is not true!" he exclaimed, sounding very hurt. Sebastian growled and his eyes flashed.
"It's very rude to accuse a lady of such a thing, Spears," he snarled, silverware appearing in his hands.
"Oh it's no accusation, I assure you, Michaelis." William readjusted his glasses. "The second you came along, Sutcliff's...affections for me flew out the door in a heartbeat. He doesn't love others. He just loves sex."
Grell shook in anger.
"That's not true! I've never slept with anyone but Sebastian! I lost interest in you because you were a bastard and I never loved you!" he shouted.
Sebastian's demonic energy began to seep from him in strong waves. He flung a warning knife at William's head.
"Leave. Now. Or I will force you to," Sebastian growled. William moved skillfully out of the way.
"I'll be happy to leave, Demon." He turned to Grell. "As soon as I get my red-headed embarrassment of an employee."
Grell started up his chainsaw.
"I'm not going anywhere with you," he said, baring his teeth. Sebastian pushed a wave of demonic energy at Will.
"I won't give you another chance," he warned. William was slightly surprised at Grell's stubbornness.
"You can either come back to work with me on your own, or I'll make you, Sutcliff. And I won't go easy on you," William sneered, his cool and collected demeanor slipping. Sebastian attacked before Grell could. He flung his knives and forks at William along with a plate from the table.
Only one utensil managed to hit its target. William grunted as he yanked the knife from his shoulder.
"You have wonderful aim, Michaelis, I'll give you that."
He attacked Sebastian with his scythe. Sebastian dodged easily. Grell leapt from the side, swinging his chainsaw towards Will's arms. William gave Grell a harsh jab in the throat, kicking the red-head to the ground. Grell coughed and gagged.
"You don't know how long I've wanted to do that, Sutcliff!" he gloated. Sebastian charged William from behind and shoved a fork into his shoulder blade.
"And you don't know how long I've wanted to do that," he hissed. William gave a grunt of pain before whipping his scythe around, knocking Sebastian away.
"Fair enough, Demon." William ripped the fork from his back and threw it to the ground. "He must be a great lay."
Sebastian snarled, his fangs lengthening. He was on his feet in the blink of an eye. Grell had gotten up as well. Sebastian saw Grell aim a swipe at William's head with his chainsaw. William dodged the deadly attempt in the nick of time.
"You two make quite the team." He jumped back from the two. It was clear that William was outnumbered and out skilled. "You are relieved from you're Reaping duties, Grell Sutcliff. Hand over your spectacles and I'll leave you to live your little fantasy."
Grell was shocked.
"You have no right! You have to get permission from the Council!" he protested. Sebastian flung more knives at William. He wanted the Reaper gone. William avoided the knives with a glare. He would be back. He opened a portal to the Reaper's Realm and was gone.
Sebastian turned to Grell.
"Are you alright, Grell?"
He didn't notice Grell sustain any injuries but he was still worried. Grell let his chainsaw disappear. His body shook in anger and despair. If he was suspended, he would lose everything. Grell needed his glasses to see, and they would take his beloved chainsaw. Grell needed the job to reap souls to give to Sebastian. He registered Sebastian's question and looked up at him.
"I'm not hurt," Grell replied. Sebastian approached Grell cautiously.
"Are you sure?" he touched Grell's shoulder gently. Grell nodded and moved to lean against Sebastian.
"You don't believe what he said, do you? I'm not slut, despite the way I may act. I've only ever slept with you," he said. Sebastian held Grell tightly.
"I don't believe a word of it, Grell. I know you."
Sebastian kissed Grell's forehead. He was very surprised at Spears' enraged jealousy. Sebastian stroked Grell's hair comfortingly. Grell smiled a little and snuggled close.
"That means a lot, Sebastian. Thank you," he replied, feeling relieved about that at least. Sebastian nuzzled the top of Grell's head; relishing the intoxicating scent.
"I may not know exactly what love is, Grell, but I can assure you that Spears was far from correct about you; you do know how to love."
He gently picked the Reaper up bridal style and walked them into the manor. Grell wrapped his arms around Sebastian's neck.
"I love you, Sebastian, very much," he said, looking into the Demon's eyes. Sebastian smiled fondly back. He brought Grell up to the master bathroom, where a relaxing, candle-lit bath waited for the red-head.
"Why don't you relax while I clean up the garden? Then you can choose anything you would like to do for the remainder of the night."
He began to unbutton the back of Grell's dress. Grell nodded.
"Alright. Thank you," he replied. While he was disappointed that Sebastian hadn't said it back, he had expected it. He was relieved that Sebastian hadn't disappeared or rejected him, though.
Sebastian quickly stripped Grell of his dress and undergarments and slipped the Reaper into the hot water. He poured a lavender bath oil into the water and leaned down to kiss Grell's shoulder.
"I love you, Grell," Sebastian whispered. Grell's eyes widened and slowly a large smile spread across his face.
"I…I'm so happy!" he said, feeling tears of joy gather in the corners of his eyes. Sebastian smiled. He hadn't known he was capable of feeling such a thing but he meant it. Grell turned his head and kissed him lovingly. Sebastian gladly kissed back. He didn't care what Spears said; he loved Grell and would never leave him. Sebastian's hands slid down Grell's shoulders and caressed his flat chest.
"I apologize it has taken me this long to realize it."
Grell smiled up at him and reached up to press his hand gently to Sebastian's cheek.
"Don't apologize. I'm just glad that you do love me," he replied. Grell had never felt so happy before. Sebastian smiled down into those beautiful eyes.
"I do, Grell, contract or not. You are quite a charmer yourself," he chuckled gently and stood. "Take your time to relax and I will be back."
Grell blushed and nodded. He sunk a little more into the warm water with a grin.
