Sebastian's Sister (A Black Butler Ciel Phantomhive Love Story)

His Butler, Omnipotent

Stella rubbed her eyes as she groaned and sat up. She slept in and only hoped that Sebastian wouldn't be upset with her. Stella got dressed then stepped out of her room. The manor was strangely quiet, especially at this time of the day.

Walking through the halls, Stella stopped when she heard a man screaming. She pressed herself against a wall as a man in a butler's suit raced past her, clutching tightly onto a rolling tray as he sat on top of it. "OH DEAR!" the man yelled repeatedly as he continued through the halls. Stella decided to follow him to see where he was going.

The man crashed through a door and into someone. Stella peeked through the door to see Finny jumping around as he cried that the tea on his shirt was hot. Stella grabbed a wet cloth and dabbed at Finny's shirt. "Stop moving" she ordered. Finny stopped jumping and let her clean his shirt.

"Oh, here, let me!" the butler cried as he tried to grab a cloth off the table but instead yanked the entire cloth off the table along with the food Ciel was about to eat. Ciel sighed and put a hand to his forehead. Bardroy whispered something to his master with a confused expression on his face. Sebastian noticed that Stella was in the room and cleared his throat.

"Finally awake are we?" he asked. Stella jumped and bowed apologetically to Sebastian. "I apologize for oversleeping Sebastian" Stella said. Ciel looked up at her with a bored expression. "I guess we have to introduce her then" he muttered. Stella looked over at the brown haired butler who was being stared down by Bardroy, Mey-Rin, and Finny.

"I'm so sorry for causing all this trouble. I simply don't know how I can apologize enough" the butler cried. Suddenly, he grabbed a knife and held it to his neck. "I know how! The only thing I can do now is die and atone with my death!" he exclaimed. The servants were shocked but Stella looked at him confused.

"Why would you die over such a small mistake? Everyone makes them, even the most perfect butlers" she said. Sebastian must have agreed as he went over to the butler and put a hand on his shoulder. "There is no need for that" he stated. The butler lowered the knife and looked at Sebastian. "Just think of the horrible mess you would make. It'd take hours to clean up the blood."

Stella looked at Sebastian with narrowed eyes. "In any case, whether it be a mess or a mistake, killing yourself over a trivial matter such as spilling tea is not a smart decision" Stella scolded the butler as she picked him up from the floor. The butler was staring dreamily at Sebastian but snapped out of his trance.

"Oh? Who might you be?" the butler asked. Stella stepped back, picked up the edges of her skirt, and curtsied slightly while smiling. "Stella Michaelis at your service" she said politely. "Grell Sutcliffe, it's a pleasure to meet you" Grell replied.

Sebastian picked up a teapot and looked at it sorrowfully. "What I'd like to know, is how you could ever think it was acceptable to serve the master such weak tea" he said. "Stella, if you would, please show Grell the proper way to make tea" Sebastian asked. Stella nodded and stood at the table.

She took a different teapot and started to make the tea. "You must add a spoonful for each person plus one more for the pot and add half a pint of boiling water and let it steep until dark" Stella explained. Grell was looking at her with admiration and the servants were taking notes. Once the tea was ready, Stella poured it into a cup and put the cup on a saucer then placed it in front of Ciel.

Ciel took a sip then set the cup back down. He nodded approvingly at Stella then continued to drink his tea. "Master, are you ready? It's almost time. I have the carriage waiting for you in the front drive now" Sebastian said as he checked his silver pocket watch. "Fine" Ciel replied.

Sebastian turned to Finny, Mey-Rin, and Bard. "As for the rest of you, I expect this place to be absolutely spotless, do you understand?" he asked. Turning on Grell, Sebastian shot him a closed eyed smile. "Grell, perhaps you should sit there and relax so you don't cause any more trouble" he said and turned around. It seemed like Sebastian forgot something as he whipped back around to Grell.
