(Ciel's P.O.V)

"Young master we have a visitor." I sat up in my chair, we were in the study and it was late afternoon, I sighed,"And who may that be, Sebastian?.." He only covered his mouth, to possibly hide a chuckle and replied,"Grell."
                               ~*~
"Thank you Ciel, I won't fail you!" The red head said happily. I only nodded and walked off."He seems different" I mumbled of to Sebastian, Grell didn't even try to flirt with Sebastian or kiss him, he just went straight to the point, and that being able to work here. Looking up I saw Sebastian nod and say,"He has changed for the better, My Lord."

(Sebastian's P.O.V)

After giving the br-Young Master his tea and cake, introductions included, I walked out to meet with Grell. I was told to help him and let him know what he could and couldn't do. "Hello Sebas-Chan" He said with a slight giggle before shaking his head,"I'm just playing so don't look so stiff." I nodded gently,loosening up."Yes, of course... Shall we begin?" Grell merely nodded before stating."I don't know how to cook or garden.." Sighing and putting my hand to my head, gracefully, I nodded."That is alright Grell, I suppose you can help Mey-Rin with the chores, will that be alight?" He nodded happily,"Yes that sounds right."
"May there be anything else you can or cannot do, Grell?"
"Well I can organize things pretty well.." He answered tapping his chin.
"Then you shall be tasked with getting out clothing in the morning for the Young Lord.I shall do the rest, if their needs to be."
"So.. Helping Mey-Rin and getting out clothing in the mornings?" He shortened it up for his own way, wonderful.."Yes. Grell."

~Lè Timeskipà~

Grell appeared to be actually doing his work, half of the time he would rarely notice that I was even there. In the mornings, clothing would always be ready for me to dress My Lord with, even so the fact that he didn't even live in the manor,Mey-Rin had been making less mistakes, due to his help. I was actually quite pleased and it appeared Ciel was too."If he keeps up like this, I will keep him for good." He replied making me snap back into reality,"Yes, and for Grell's sake, this time I agree."

(Ciel's P.O.V)

A letter had arrived, and once more it was from the queen herself. Sebastian being the quickest and greatest of my pawns,collected information and found a possible suspect. This time I only grinned and stood."Sebastian," He looked to me."Yes, My Lord?"
"Go get Grell." The red head had changed, to my likings and I decided to make him one of my pawns. Being an ex-reaper he could tell us all that we need to know and kill anyone instantly with the help of Sebastian, I was liking my new pawn, a new piece to my game, wonderful. We had headed off into a carriage."Erm, Young Master?" He said, first time I have heard him call me such."Yes?" I looked to him raising a brow, I honestly didn't feel like speaking, yet a king has to be 'kind' to his pawns so they can earn his 'trust'."Where are we of to? If you don't mind me asking." He clearly showed that he was confused, at the fact that I called him to come with us. "The queen has a new case for us, Grell. Now no more questions." He nodded and I shut my eyes once more.
"Young Master.. Please, wake up."
I opened my eyes and looked to my butler, door opened and Grell someplace else, did I lose a pawn already? "What?"
"It seems as if we have found the one behind the crimes, I sent Grell off to follow him whilst I wake you up, we must get going." Sitting up I nodded,"Great."

(Grell's P.O.V/ Small time-skip)

"Grell you deal with them, I will be over here with the others." I heard Sebastian yell, and nodded. Thankfully I had my death scurry on hand, using it I quickly went passed a few others, slicing their heads off."My, my Sebastian seems as if they keep coming." I said quite dramatically, but showed that I was getting irritated, "So much red attire in one day is too much." Growling I went passed another one of the men."It appears that you have a point, shall we improvise?" Nodding I replied with a "Yes." Sebastian quickly wrapped the men together with a rope, he then began to tighten it before I heard a voice that wasn't from the three of us,"Grell?" I looked over and saw Will. I groaned,"Hello William, reaping today?" He nodded slightly and looked at the scene,"And you?.."
"Working for Mr. Phantomhive here." I replied, all expressions from my face fading away."Well.. At least your employed, may we talk?" I was about to shrug and nod before I heard my name again."Grell no time for chit-chat. Get to work." Ciel's voice. Nodding I went over to Sebastian, and quickly, but gracefully ended the men's lives."Great now where's the killer.." I mumbled to the butler. He pointed forwards, to 'The Last Man Standing' before speaking.
"I will follow him and make him unable to walk, the Young Lord wants him dead, so that's were you would come in, alright?"
Yet, I was being distracted by Will, again. Sebastian sighed and ran off to follow his own plans. "What did you want to speak with me about?"
"I wanted to say that I-"
"Grell!" A raspy,annoyed voice yelled, once more, Ciel's. "Sorry!" I apologized and ran off with Sebastian, waving slightly, "Goodbye William!" He sighed and went off, as we parted ways to work, me ending a killer's life and him reaping the killer's soul, I guess I could say we're still together, yet I didn't want that anymore. "Good. The queen will be pleased about this." Said Ciel with a smirk, as we rode away, back to the manor.

Sorry about all the different P.O.V's I just wanted you to see from everyone's point of view and such.
