A night gone terribly right.

A night gone terribly right..(A Black Butler fanfic)

Chapter: 1. How it all started.

"Undertaker"!, a very tired and flustered looking Grell bursted in to his shop crying loudly, a dramatic act the other man knew all too well. "Ah by all means come in come in miss"... He paused, now turning to look at his new best friend, "Sutcliffe, now what can I do you for dear?"
Grell braced him self against the very odd looking reception desk, trying to catch his breath. He had ran all the way towards the undertaker's shop, sprinting from one roof top to another until finally here he was.

"Oh undertaker", he panted. "I need your help my friend". In an instant the silver haired reaper appeared by his side, his face full of worry and concern. " what happened Grell?" He tried not to sound too panicky, but he failed. Grell had become more than a friend to him ever since that faithed day when he happened upon his beautiful form sound asleep in the meadow. His lifeless, breathless form looked so peaceful with his crimson red locks spread all around him. Ever since that day undertaker knew he carried a soft spot for the beautiful creature standing beside him.
Grell saw the pure look of worry written across the larger man's features and quickly berated himself quietly for sounding so serious. " forgive me silver but it's not much of a problem, I didn't mean to scare you like that", he turned away feeling ashamed of himself and his thoughtless outburst but undertaker smiled at him which caused him to relax a little and return his own version of a grin.

"Sutcliffe must you be so dramatic about everything dear", he scolded the younger reaper halfheartedly. " Now tell me what was it that you needed my assistance with love?". The red headed shinigami moved himself closer to his best friend until their arms were pressing against each other. " Amm its about Bassey". Undertaker smirked under the shadow of his bangs,"when is it never about him?"... Grell blew out a puff of hot air," I know I know but just hear me out pleasssseee", he lengthened that particular word then made sure he made his best version of a sad kitten to convince his friend. One look at him and the undertaker was left with no choice but to hear him out, not even Sebastian had the will to refuse him once he saw that particular face. "Alright then by all means". At the sound of that Grell displayed a very toothy grin and blushed ever so slightly.
"Its not that much of a task really my friend, all i seek is tad bit of information in regards to his true feelings about me".. Undertaker cocked a brow at him. "I'm sorry my love but I have no intentions of interfering with matters of the heart", he stated quite matter of fact. Grell felt a bit disappointed at his friend's blatant refusal but he wasn't about to just give up. "Oh goodness gracious undertaker I'm not asking you to see if he's in love with me for I already knew the answer to that", his voice sounded broken, perhaps a bit sad. " Then what is it you really seek Sutcliffe?"... Undertaker tried his best to hide the pity he felt for his passion filled reaper. " I'm tired silver, all I want is for us to start all over again, if I can't have him as my lover then a I'll take him as a good friend". That was it, he owed it to him self to be honest for once and faced reality. Undertaker studied him for a little. "Are you sure that's possible Grell?".....
"I'm not sure but I have to try don't I?"... The silver haired man wrapped an arm around his best friend's shoulder telling him with out words that he was proud about his sudden change of heart. Grell felt the strong arms of the undertaker draped around him, as he instantly inhaled his manly scent. And man did he smell wonderful, a light mixture of honey flavoured tea and cinnamon. The smell was getting to his head causing a bright blush, tinting his pale cheeks turning it into a bright crimson shade. As he felt himself going under he urged his body to wake up from the scented spell that overtook it, pulling himself out of undertaker's hold. He desperately needed a distraction. "Oh my would you look at the time, duties call im afraid. Dont want William or Knox to come looking for me now do I?".... He began to walk off before halting in his tracks, "When should i get back to you dear?"....
"How about tomorrow, it shan't take long i assume to get what you seek"... "Then tomorrow it is", Grell agreed before running off again.

10 minutes later....................

"Hello, are you in?".....a soft voice resonated from the door way... "Undertaker sir are you there?", the voice questioned again. "For god sake yes I'm in Sebastian", came the silver haired mortician's frustrated reply.... "Ah wonderful then. I was hoping we could have an exchange of words for a bit", the slender butler chose to ignore the other man's irritation as he invited himself in... Undertaker eyed his guest curiously. "Is that so, then come have a seat while I fetch us tea Sebastian". At the mere mention of 'tea' the phanthonhive butler froze. "No not that again", he almost cringed at the idea of drinking from one of those unsightly beakers..." No thanks undertaker that's alright, I have no intention of spending that long after all, my young master is expecting me soon I'm afraid", he hurriedly made up an excuse to stop his host. The silver hair reaper stood in his tracks as he studied the demon butler some more.

"Very well then demon what is it that requires my assistance?. For one I don't think its about any ongoing case so which brings me to think that its something personal".... Sebastian simply smiled and nodded at his friend's assessment. "Once again undertaker you're ability to assess almost every situation is quite remarkable indeed". Undertaker smiled in a mocking fashion. "The point Michaelis, the point".
"Oh my yes I'm sorry. The point is I need your help in dealing with a certain scarlet fellow of ours". Sebastian went straight to the point. "As you know my young master and I have been in our own form of what's called a relationship since our banishment from the underworld, so i think its wise to set things straight with Red Sutcllife once and for all don't you agree?"..
Undertaker was really quiet, then without a moment's notice he erupted in a rage of laughter, shocking poor Sebastian as he stood there staring at the man's sudden outburst.... The white haired shinigame clutched his sides as he thought about Grell and Sebastian's funny dilemma. What ever god that choose to help him sure had one hell of a funny bone cause this situation was most amusing.
"Oh my, do forgive me butler, I haven't laughed like that in quite a while", he struggled to compose him self. Sebastian on the other hand was becoming quite irritated. "I'm glad I can provide such humouring entertainment for you", he sarcastically commented. "Heavens that was a good one", undertaker was now finding himself. "By all means my good friend tell me everything"...

----****-------****-------****------***--

Undertaker had spent his entire day going over both Sebastian and Grell's requests, laughing to himself every now and again from the sweet irony of the situation. He had promised to help both men with out even thinking how he was going about doing so. Plus he had even gone and dug his own grave by setting a time and date to deliver his results.
Atleast he was half way through with Grell's little problem. And now all that was left to deal with was that dam demon's request. Undertaker sighed to himself once more. He figured it was nothing a good nights rest couldn't solve.
But try as he might he couldn't quite figure out a way to let his best friend down gently. Reaper Sutcliffe deserved nothing but the same honesty that which he carried himself. To lie to him just so that his fragile heart didn't suffer was a sinful blessing and one undertaker had to do no matter what the consequences were. He was left with a heavy heart and a burdened mind as sweet slumber overtook him. Having nothing but the colour red engulfed him as he drove deeper and deeper in the darkened abyss of his dreams, for all would be dealt with on the morrow.
