The Devil's Mate

His Butler, Omnipotent

   "Naaaaaaahhhhhhh! Naaahhh!" Grell yells as he holds onto a dining cart rolling down the hall. "Oh dear, oh dear oh dear."

   Grell comes rolling into the dining area, and bumps into Finny pouring tea all over him.

   "Ahhh! Hot! Hot, hot, hot, hot!" Finny yells holding his shirt out so it doesn't get on his skin. 

   "I'm so, so sorry! I'll wipe it off!" Grell yells grabbing a napkin on the table, but grabs the whole table cloth down with it. Ciel sighs.

   "Master, why did you agree to take in such a useless idiot?" Bard asks his master.

   "You're one to talk, Bald. It didn't seem like such a bad idea..." Ciel mumbles remembering his aunt asked him to take in Grell so he could learn from (y/n) and Sebastian. "I thought Sebastian and (y/n) would be the only one inconvenienced.

I never expected that I would be affected by it as well..."

   "I'm so sorry for causing all this trouble...I simply don't know how I can apologize enough. Wait, that's it! The only thing I can do now is die! I shall atone with my death!" Grell yells holding a large knife to his throat.

   "Whoa, calm down a second!" Bard yells.

   "Um, should we take the knife away?" Mey-Rin asks not knowing what to do. (Y/n) places her hand on Grell's shoulder and he turn to her.

   "There is no need for that. Just think of the horrible mess you would make; it'd take hours to clean up all of the blood." She says with a smile.

   "Thank you Miss (y/n), you're so very kind..." he says looking up at her in amazement. Sebastian glares a bit at the useless butler, but then looks away. Ciel sees this, and smirks lightly chuckling at Sebastian's jealousy.

   "That was kind?" Bard asks his fellow servants.

   "Now what I'd like to know, is how you could ever think it was acceptable to serve the master such weak tea. Watch me, a spoonful for each person and one more for the pot. Finally, add half a pint of boiling water and let it steep until dark." Sebastian explains to Grell. (Y/n) checks her watch as Ciel drinks his tea.

   "Master, are you ready? It is almost time. I have the carriage waiting for you in the front drive now." She says with a smile.

   "Fine." He replies.

   "As for the rest of you, I want this place absolutely spotless, understand? Grell, perhaps you should just sit there and relax so you don't cause any more trouble. Oh, and, if you do decide to seek your eternal rest, please see to it outside, would you?And try not make too big a mess." (Y/n) tells him.

   "What generosity... What great kindness..." Grell says as the maid walks away with the butler.

   "Get your paper here! All the latest news! Prostitute mysteriously murdered!" A paper boy yells. Ciel, Sebastian, and (y/n) all walk into a store, and the clerk looks up with a friendly face.

   "Mm? Oh hello, boy. Did your father send you for something?" He asks.

   "Actually, he's here on his own business. We need to pick this up." (Y/n) explains handing him a piece of paper.

   "Oh, you're here for that walking stick." The clerk says as he takes out the walking stick, and hands it to Sebastian. "I was wondering who'd have a use for one as short as this. Naturally, I didn't think a chil--" he stops when the walking stick is pointed inches away from his face.
