Comforting Darkness

Chapter 3: The Tutor, Unpleasant Meetings

Sebastian's eyes opened wide watching the red haired man, who in turn was looking at the butler with a rather seductive look in his eyes. The man stood up sniggering and without taking his eyes off Sebastian, spoke.

"Hunk... sighted!!"

"Hunk? Who's the hunk?" Selina asked quietly, raising one eyebrow questioningly, while Ciel revealed the man's name in utter surprise "Grell Sutcliff!!"

"Hi!!! It has been absolutely ages, Sebastian darling. Being reunited here must be fate!" Said Grell in absolute delight and started swaying his body in a way that would break the hips of the most flexible woman.

"It is simply coincidence." Sebastian said bluntly with an annoyed look on his face.

The red haired man blushed and left a squeal with evident delight, but soon his blush turned to a face red from anger and the squeal into a very threatening scream.

"Ah!! Sebby!! Who is that ugly woman by your side?" He asked after his mind registered Selina's presence.

The said "ugly woman" had goggled eyes and mouth half open. "Wa-Wait!" She turned to Sebastian and her eyes were sparkling from amusement. "You're the hunk she- erm... he said?"

"I am afraid so." The butler answered very displeased and seemed that he was starting to get impatient.

"And the Sebby?"

"Yes."

"So, she-he has the hots for you?"

"Miss Clark, I am not familiar with that expression but if you mean that he is romantically interested in me... then yes, to my disgust."

Selina, with a sudden movement, managed to cover her mouth, before she burst out laughing and forced herself to a low chuckling, obviously having fun with the whole situation and the people involved in it.

"And why are you laughing, if I may ask? Is not my Sebby a hunk? Do you doubt it?" Grell asked raising threateningly his chainsaw.

"Oh no, madam. I would never doubt it. I mean... It's understandable and I totally get it." Selina said lifting her hands in a manner of surrender while glancing towards Sebastian. "But still... it is so funny." She finished and tried to stifle another fit of laughter rising inside her.

Now, Grell had turned towards the blond, younger man and was yelling at him because he did not say that "Sebastian darling" was here, and if Grell knew he would have put on his make up in order to outshine that "ugly woman".

"And that's exactly why I didn't tell you... plus, I don't find her ugly at all, she is pretty cute." The blond man said and winked at Selina, who blushed slightly but did not have time to answer, since Sebastian grabbed her arm and started pulling her towards the exit of the room. Ciel and Lizzie were preceding.

"Listen you... Ah!!!" Grell screamed as soon as he realized that they were trying to escape. "Hey, wait for me!!!"

He jumped right in front of the butler swinging his deadly chainsaw, forcing him to grab the two kids and jump in the air as Selina ducked just in time. Grell went on with his rambling on how cruel Sebastian was by "lighting a fire in a woman and then abandoning her" the same time the reaper was trying to decapitate the demon and Sebastian was avoiding it with his so perfectly fluid movements.

"As we are in something of a hurry, would you be so kind as to let us pass?" Sebastian asked in a final effort to resolve the issue as fast as he could.

"And what if I refuse?" Grell asked playfully.

"We shall force our way through if we must." Sebastian announced and his eyes were shining in their full demonic red, pupils turned to slits.
