House Chores (Grell Sutcliffe x Sebastian Michaelis)

Chapter 14: Expectations

      "Earl Grey, young master."

      "I don't want it."

      "Why not?"

      "Well, if you were awake all night listening to someone regurgitating, I don't think you'd want tea either." Ciel folded his arms and sighed. "When is that thing supposed to arrive?!" Sebastian walked began to walk out of the room, and paused. "Master, tonight I'll be able to answer you. But for now, I recommend you hold your tongue because you are not the only one who has ears." Ciel, isolated in his office was filled with rage and disgust. "Hold my tongue? That damned idiot. I will say what I want whenever I please. He should be the one to shut his trap."

           "I can hear you, young master." Sebastian shouted from downstairs. Ciel sat back and sighed. "You were meant to."

            Downstairs, Sebastian cleaned up and began to prepare lunch. Grell stumbled down the stairs. "I'm starving, what is there to eat, Bassy?" Sebastian grumbled under his breath. "Shit."

         "I heard that! All I said is that I was hungry." Sebastian searched through the cupboards until he found chocolate. "Here. This is what women eat when they are in your situation." Grell marveled the sweet and sat down at the small table and began to eat. "I can't believe I'm asking this. Do you need help with anything?"

         "I need you to relax and lay down. Now go."

          That night, the Phantomhive manor were drawn to hear the expectation date of this new arrival. "When is it coming?! I need to know!" Grell whimpered. "So do I." Ciel grumbled.

        Feeling around, Sebastian sat in silence, waiting for a sign. Suddenly he stopped. His eyes began to grow wide. "He's a strong one. It's almost unbelievable."

        "When?!" Grell squealed.

        "Approximately 2 days from now."
