Akashitsuji - Red Butler

Grell decided to retreat to his room for a while, he did not feel like going back to the kitchen right now, if they needed him, he would hear soon enough. He took off his coat and let himself fall backwards on the bed that was his now. He had mixed feelings about this place. Grell could clearly remember the first days he spent here when he came to visit with Madam Red. She wanted him to work together with Sebastian to take care of both her and young master Ciel. Grell had fallen head over heels for Sebastian and he had tried everything to get his attention, but with no results. He remembered how clumsy he was back than, well, he still was, and how sad he could get. So sad he would threaten to take his own life, and actually do so if everyone did not keep him from it. It was silly.

‘I should have known better.’ Grell talked to himself as he lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling. It was clear how Sebastian only had eyes for the young master, who he seemed so faithful to. The mere thought could make Grell green of jealousy. Of course he did not know of the contract between those two, but he knew there was more going on than just the master and servant play they kept up. It just wasn't fair that Sebastian had dedicated his life to serve a little kid! Oh how Grell wished he loved him as much as he loved Sebastian! ‘Aaah it’s all useless!’ Grell messed up his hair in frustration as someone knocked on his door.

He sat straight up in his bed as his most favorite person in the world stepped inside. Was he dreaming? Inner Grell squealed like a little girl as he tried to give himself some composure when Sebastian looked down at him. ‘Mr. Grell, I came to ask you a favor.’ Sebastian started. Grell drowned into the eyes of his sexy demon butler. ‘A favor?.. f-from me?’ Then it dawned upon him, Sebastian had finally recognized his qualities as a lover, he had ripped himself apart from Ciel and came to him for salvation! ‘O-of course I’d do anything for you!’ He jumped up from his bed and hugged Sebastian in happiness.
The old Grell had returned, he would have Sebastian, he just knew it was a matter of time.

Sebastian coughed. ‘Mr. Grell, stop that.’ Grell purred like a cat. ‘Oh please don’t call me mister, Sebas-chan~’ As Grell didn't let go of Sebastian, the black butler decided not to waste any more time. He grabbed the redhead shinigami by the collar and threw him back on the bed. ‘Listen to me, Grell’ There was no playfulness in Sebastian’s voice as he said so, he was dead serious. Grell was shocked how he had totally misread the situation… once again.

Sebastian continued: ‘Young master Ciel’s aunt, Madame Red, has once mentioned your qualities in the making of a certain tomato soup.’ Grell blinked at Sebastian, it was true, the only thing he did know how to make was tomato soup, but why would that be of any importance now. ‘As you might know the young master is in the middle of a business trade with a very important customer, and he requested to eat tomato soup tonight. As the young master has such a splendid memory, he knew that was your specialty, therefore I ask you the favor to make the tomato soup for tonight’s dinner.’
