The Crowned Prince of Hell

Chapter 17

Ciel walked into the bathroom, he smirked as he saw Sebastian still sleeping in the bathtub, his cat on his lap. Slowly, he approached the tub and turned on the water that began to flow out of the shower head, wetting Sebastian's torso and head. The demon jolted awake, his cat practically flying out of his lap.

"Good Morning, time to get breakfast." Ciel said with a laugh at the sight of his angry boyfriend.

Sebastian turned off the water as he glared at Ciel "Why the hell did you do that for?!" He hissed, angry to have been waken up like that.

Ciel shrugged "I thought it was funny." He deadpanned

"Not funny at all." Sebastian grumbled as he got out of the tub and began unbuttoning his shirt.

"Pretty funny to me."

The bathroom door flew open a few seconds later, Grell stood in front of the door, her hair in a high ponytail.

"Will is going to be here in a few minutes so I won't be joining you for breakfast." She announced before looking at the shirtless Sebastian before her.

"Did I interrupt something?" She asked, an eyebrow raised but when she saw Ciel roll his eyes, she laughed "Right, I forgot you won't even hold hands with Sebastian so of course I'm not interrupting anything."

Ciel's eyes went wide as he looked at the redhead before shooting a glare to the demon. "You told her?!"

"No-! I didn't tell her your secret." Sebastian quickly defended himself, looking at Grell angrily.

"Then how the hell does she know those things about me?!" Ciel raised his voice, shaking his head, not believing this could be happening.

"It's true, he just told me you hate people touching you, but he didn't say why." Grell quickly intervened. Ciel narrowed his eyes at her but didn't say anything else as he left the bathroom, Sebastian following him out after tossing his wet shirt in the laundry basket.

"Where is Alois?" The demon asked, surprised by the blonde's absence.

"He left an hour ago with your brother." Grell answered as she looked at her manicured nails. Ciel and Sebastian turned to look at her, she lifted her head to look at them. "What?"

"Brother?" Ciel turned to look at Sebastian "Claude is your brother?"

Grell quickly realized her mistake and peeled herself from the wall. "Well, I should get going."

"Stay." Sebastian growled angrily at her, before turning his attention to Ciel. "I was going to tell you."

"When? Why didn't you tell me the other day?" Ciel raised his voice once more.

"It's complicated, I wasn't sure how to bring it up."

"How the bloody hell is that complicated?! you had no problem telling me you're a demon!" Ciel regretted his mistake almost instantly, he hadn't meant to let that slip out but in his anger he didn't think before speaking. He just hoped Grell hadn't heard it.

"Wait, he's a... what now?" She heard. Sebastian slowly exhaled as he was trying not to be angry at Ciel, he took out a plain black t-shirt from a drawer and put it on before turning to Grell.

"Listen Grell, don't freak out, and just let me explain."

"You both are mad." She laughed "My best friend is completely gone mad."

"Wait!" Ciel spoke up "If Claude is your brother then that means he's a demon too?!"

Sebastian looked at Ciel and sighed "Yes, that was kind of the complicated part I wanted to talk to you about."

"Why? Is he dangerous or something?" Ciel said sarcastically and when Sebastian didn't answer, he frowned. "He is dangerous, isn't he? That's why it was a complicated subject, because he's dating my best friend."

Sebastian bit his lip, "yes, I'm sorry, I should have said that the other day and we said no more secrets but I promise I'll explain everything to you later but first I need-"

"Claude is with Alois right now!" Ciel cut him off, taking out his phone. "I need to warn him, he needs to get away from Claude now." Just as Sebastian was about to object, his door opened and William let himself in and everyone froze.

"Hello Sebastian, Grell, are you ready to go?" He spoke as he entered the room and looked at his girlfriend that was leaning against the wall again.

"Yeah." She said slowly moving closer to Will. "Is something wrong? Did I interrupt something?" he asked as he saw that something was upsetting his girlfriend.

"It's nothing, I just found out that my best friend is crazy, saying he's a demon." She said with a laugh, Will looked at her then turned his head to face Sebastian, eyeing him from head to toe before taking Grell by the arm and pushing her behind him.

"I knew it." He said.

"What? Will?" Grell started laughing "Come on, you can't be serious?"

He turned around to look at her and she froze in shock, his facial expression was so serious, he didn't look like he was joking at all.

"What are you?" Sebastian demanded, his voice low as he slowly moved in front of Ciel to protect him too from this potential threat.

"I'm a grim reaper." He said as he readjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose. "Well, former grim reaper." Sebastian tilted his head, frowning. He was about to ask something else when Ciel interrupted.

"Okay, no time for talking or discovering new supernatural creatures, I need to warn Alois."

"Ciel, I really think you shouldn't tell hi-"Sebastian sighed when he saw that his boyfriend had already dialed the number and was waiting for Alois to answer.

"He's not answering." Ciel hung up "I know where he is, we need to go get him. Now."

"No." Sebastian said and Ciel raised an eyebrow "Excuse me? You're telling me not to go save my best friend from your dangerous demon brother?" He shook his head not believing his ears.

"He's not in immediate danger Ciel, if Claude wanted to kill Alois he would have done it already, speaking to Grell is more important right now." Sebastian raised his voice, frustrated.

"No, you know what Sebastian? Stay here, talk to Grell all you want, I'm going to get my best friend and make sure he's safe. Don't bother calling me again. You can go to hell." Ciel yelled before walking towards the door, pushing Will out of his way to get out.

"I am hell!"* Sebastian yelled back, angry.

William raised an eyebrow at Sebastian "Are you really going to let your human boyfriend confront your demon brother?" he asked

Sebastian sighed, calming down a little. "Of course not, but you two have to come with me, I'll explain everything to Grell on the way." He said, taking Grell's car keys and rushing down the hall to catch up to his boyfriend.

"Grell, are you okay? Let's go." William said, slowly placing his hand on her shoulder, she pushed his hand away. "Don't touch me." She said lowly before making her way out of Sebastian's dorm room.

Ciel was outside, just about to call an Uber when Sebastian appeared behind him. "Ciel I'm sorry, please forgive me, I'll take you to Alois but please don't go alone." The young Phantomhive looked at Sebastian, he narrowed his eyes at him and sighed. "Very well, you'll be my chauffeur for today, but I'm not forgiving you so easily." He said

"So where is Alois?" Sebastian asked once Grell and Will were standing next to them.

"He's at the cemetery, he goes to visit his brother's grave every year the day after his birthday."
