House Chores (Grell Sutcliffe x Sebastian Michaelis)

Chapter 9: Lightning Bolt

Since Ciel had locked the doors and refused to allow Sebastian or Grell in, they had to sleep in the small shed, hidden behind the manor's bushes. It was old, and was around ever since the previous manor, which is why Ciel demanded it be hidden from sight. It had been pouring rain that night, so it was cold and wet on the old shed floor. Sebastian had tried sleeping solitary, but the dropping temperatures and the awkwardness between him and his partner finally pushed him.

"Grell" Sebastian said in a sleepy voice. Grell rolled over and mumbled. Sebastian stared at Grell while he was sleeping, thinking. He thought to himself how much Grell had been trying for so long to get his attention, to be the perfect butler just like him. He knew that Grell must have felt amazing after his experience on their way to the Undertaker's office. Sebastian's stomach began to get butterflies and he blushed. "How long had Grell been waiting for a kiss or an embracement?" He asked himself. "Grell may be a major flirt, but he seemed more sentimental about what happened with us today."

Sebastian shivered again and poked Grell's shoulder. The sleeping fool mumbled in response. Sebastian's patience broke and he hugged Grell tightly. Surprisingly, Grell was rather cold and more damp. Grell's green eyes flashed in the dark as he woke; and he felt around Sebastian's back. "Sebastian? W-What's going on?" Sebastian held him tighter. "You were cold." He reasoned. "I thought you could use this." Grell hugged him back, gripping on to the back of Sebastian's tail-coat. "This is nice." Grell blushed and held tighter. "I'm sorry." Sebastian replied. Grell looked up at the dark red eyes. "I've made you wait for so long. I've rejected you in every harsh way possible, but you still adore me."

"I don't care about the past right now." Grell inturupted Sebastian's apology. Sebastian's eyes widened and he stared into Grell's. "You may be one of the biggest jerks in the world, but you're my jerk." Sebastian blushed. "You're my idiot." He replied. Grell's face flourished with many shades of red, and a lightning bolt lit the black sky. Grell could see Sebastian's face leaning into him. Due to the blinding night, Sebastian missed Grell's face and kissed his nose. They quietly laughed and Sebastian kissed Grell's red face until he could find his lips. When he could finally locate Grell's lips, Sebastian stroked his fingers through His partner's long, curled hair. Sebastian layed on his back and pulled Grell onto his chest. Grell ran his fingers down Sebastian's chest. "Goodnight, Grell.."

"Goodnight, Sebastian."
