His Butler, omnipotent

Screaming could be heard echoing throughout the manor, Grell clung for dear life to a runaway tea cart.

"Oh dear! Oh dear! Oh dear! Oh dear!" he cried.

The cart crashed through the doors of the dining room and crashed into Finny, spilling a hot cup of tea on his shirt.

"Ah! Hot! Hot! Hot! Hot! Hot! Hot!" he exclaimed.

"Ah! I'm so so sorry! I'll wipe it off!" Grell exclaimed, quickly trying to pick up a napkin to try and clean the hot tea from Finny's shirt, only to tug the entire tablecloth off the table while Ciel was trying to eat his breakfast, sending the plates and silverware to the floor.

"Master, why did you agree to take on such a useless idiot?" Bard whispered toward Ciel.

Ciel pinched the bridge of his nose. "You're one to talk, Bard. It didn't seem like that big of a deal" he thought back to when his aunt had first asked him to train Grell to be a better butler.

Oh Ciel, darling. I have a problem. Grell is hopelessly incompetent. Could you do me a tiny favor and have Sebastian train him to be a decent butler? Can't refuse your favorite aunt, can you?

"I thought Sebastian would be the only one inconvenienced. I never expected that I would be affected by it as well" Ciel sighed, placing his fingers against his forehead.

Grell shrunk in place as Bard, Meyrin and Finny all glared at him.

"I'm so sorry for causing all of this trouble. I simply don't know how I can apologize enough. Wait! That's it! The only thing I can do now is die! I shall atone with my death!" Grell suddenly took out a large sword and held it to his neck.

"Whoa! Calm down a second!" Bard yelled.

"Um, should we take the knife away?" Meyrin asked, scratching the side of her head.

Sebastian then walked up behind Grell and placed a hand on his shoulder. "There's no need for that"

Grell turned his head and blushed when he saw Sebastian.

Sebastian smiled. "Just think of the horrible mess you would make, it would take hours to clean up all of the blood"

"Thank you Sebastian. You're so very kind" Grell smiled widely.

"That was kindness?" Bard whispered toward Finny and Meyrin, who both shook their heads.

Sebastian then picked up the teapot with a frown. "Now, what I'd like to know is how you could ever think it was acceptable to serve the master such weak tea"

"Watch me. A spoonful for each person and one more for the pot, finally, add half a pint of boiling water and let it steap until dark" Sebastian spoke with a smile.

Finny, Bard and Meyrin were all taking notes and Grell watched Sebastian with a deep blush and hearts in his eyes.

Sebastian then set the steamy cup of tea in front of Ciel, Ciel picked it up and drank it.

Sebastian smiled and looked at his pocket watch. "Master, are you ready? It is almost time" he closed his pocket watch and placed it back in his pocket.

"I have a carriage waiting for you in the front drive now"

"Fine" Ciel answered plainly.

Sebastian then looked at the other Phantomhive servants. "As for the rest of you, I expect to see this place absolutely spotless, understand?" he then looked toward Grell, who was still knelt on the floor.
