Grell couldn't understand what was going on with Sebastian. Why would getting closer to a memory make him feel faint? What was all of this? It had to be very complicated he was sure of that. "Sebastian." He said softly, being very serious. "Did you mean it when you said...I was pretty?" He asked, thinking back to when they were at the school.

"Yes. I did mean that." A blush crept on the demon's face, something that had never happened before. "Because you are." The voice began screaming at him again and he held his head in pain

Grell could feel a hot blush creep on his cheeks that matched Sebastian's "T-Thank you." He said, feeling gooey on the inside. Sebastian had acctully called him pretty. He felt like he could die happy right here this second. Then he saw Sebastian looked like something was hurting him. Fear hit Grell like a ton of bricks. "S-Sebastian! Please, don't pass out." He said, feeling panicked. There was no way Grell could walk, much less protect the two of them from the streets and people on the streets. He needed the demon to stay awake.

Sebastian shook his head. "I won't faint." He rose and picked Grell up. "Come on." He set the shinigami on his feet carefully. "Let's get you to your house, alright? That way if I do faint, there'll be nothing to worry about."

Grell nodded in agreement. If Sebastain was going to pass out, it was best that he do it where they'd be safe. He nearly fell when forced to walk by himself. The leg that had been injured hurt and made him hiss in pain. He limped towards the direction of his home, not sure if he'd be able to walk that far.

"Hm..." Sebastian swept Grell into his arms again "Is that better, Grell?" He sincerely hoped it was. For some reason, Grell mixed with pain did not make him feel good. The injuries surely had to hurt worse than he thought.

Grell made a little squeaking sound as he was picked up, not expecting the action, but liking it anyway. He was blushing a deep red color and felt warm on the inside. "Y-Yes, much better." He answered the man who he was falling more and more in love with. Grell loved how sincere Sebastian had sounded when asking of that felt better, and he just felt smitten at the moment, a dreamy expression clouding his face.

Sebastian walked them back to Grell's house, letting himself in and taking the redhead to his bedroom to lay him down. "Now stay here." He walked into the bathroom and got a bowl of water, a washcloth and clean bandages. "Well.." He walked back to the shinigami and took the scrap of fabric off the leg wound. "This wasn't exactly sterile..." He carefully wiped the blood off Grell's leg and wrapped a new bandage around the wound.

Grell made a hissing sound when Sebastian removed the old bandage and the blood started flowing again. "S-Sebastian!" He whined, closing his eyes and trying to hold in tears. A few escaped anyway. He was glad to be on the comfortable bed. "You're going to stay with me right?" He asked skeptically, hoping so.

"Hm? Of course I am..." He leaned up and wiped the tears away, showing that his hands were cut from Grell's blade in the battle. "Why wouldn't I?" He cleaned the dried blood from the reaper's neck and then went into the bathroom to clean the washcloth and drain the now blood-tainted water bowl, then taking his gloves off and rinsing the blood off himself.

Grell smiled, feeling slightly shy. "I thought you might need to get back to Ceil or something.." He was glad he had Sebastian here to stay for a while. He was also glad when Sebastian was done patching him up. He noticed cuts on the demon's hands and frowned. "B-Bassie! You're hurt!" He got up painfully from his bed and went over to his savior. He kissed the injured hands softly and then took care of them, wrapping them in gauze. "There you go." He limped back to the bed. "Come, sit." He patted the spot beside him on the bed.

"Thank you..." Sebastian sat down beside Grell on the plush bed. The small kisses the shinigami had placed on his hands caused a shiver down his spine. "You really didn't have to get up, I could have handled it... you might make the wound bleed more..."

Grell crossed his arms over his chest. "Don't act like you're not hurt too." He said, an eyebrow raised. He in truth though Sebastian was being sweet, even if he didn't want to admit it. This side of Sebastian was so odd and very wonderful. He wanted the man to come near him.

"It doesn't hurt too bad." Sebastian laughed softly. "I mean, seriously, pain is nothing to me" He looked at his bandaged hands with a small smile though. "But thank you..." When he silenced, he started thinking back into his memory until he hit the locked suppressed memory, wincing in pain and closing his eyes.

Grell frowned, feeling weak. Pain was nothing for Sebastian? Now he felt like a whiney weakling. He saw Sebastian wince and he got back up, going to his Sebastian. "Are you ok?" He asked, looking concerned. He touched his face very softly. "Are you ok?" He asked, afraid that the other was in pain.

Sebastian ignored the reaper, prying deeper into his memory. No remembering! Sebastian squeezed his eyes tighter, feeling the locked door crack and then shatter, unleashing the memory at long last. No!!! I didn't say you could remember!!! With a shriek in his head, the voice died and he opened his eyes to see Grell in front of him. Before he could stop himself, he pulled the red-head down for a much awaited kiss.

Grell sighed when Sebastian didn't answer. "Sebastian..." He said softly. He couldn't seem to get tue demon's attention. Then very suddenly Sebastian was kissing him. He tensed up, not kissing back at first. He was shocked. After a few seconds of just sitting there, frozen in his place, he kissed back, closing his eyes. He wasn't sure where that had come from, but he wasn't complaining.

Sebastian pulled away after a few moments and sighed. "Sorry, I just... I had to do that..." He hugged the reaper, resting his forehead on his shoulder. "I remember now..." He said softly. "I suppressed you... or..." he sighed. "My feelings for you..."

Grell gasped a little as Sebastian stopped and he returned the hug. "You don't need to apologize." He said quietly. "I've wanted that for a long time." He really couldn't believe Sebastian had those kind of feelings for him. "If this is a joke, I swear I'm going to hit you." He threatened. He didn't want Sebastian playing with him. This was serious.

"I wouldn't kid about this Grell..." He looked into the shinigami's eyes, to prove he wasn't lying. "This is completelly real, I swear to you." he pecked the redhead's cheek

Grell looked straight into Sebastian's eyes, seeing truth and deciding to trust. He blushed when his cheek was pecked and he turned to get Sebastian's lips, capturing them and holding him there for a moment before letting go. "S-Sebastian..." He started. "I want you to stay with me for as long as you can ok?" He said, his voice cracking. He didn't like the idea of Sebastian having to work for that little brat, Ceil. That meant Grell wouldn't get to spend a lot of time with him. He felt his chest cavity tighten painfully. "I-I'm going to miss you when you have to go back." He said, his voice broken and soft.

"I will come and visit you whenever I can" He sighed softly, and held the reaper against him. "And, besides, I'm one hell of a butler. I can work easily for my young master, and still see you." He didn't want to let it slip that he might not be able to, so he just, didn't.

He nodded. "Ok. If you say so." He honestly wasn't so sure. It seemed impossible that Sebastian could please the brat well enough to have any fre time. He pulled Sebastian to him and snuggled him. "I love you Bassie." He cooed. Grel was getting sleepy and very odd. He was in a snuglin mood.

He laughed softly. "That makes me sound as though I am a fish..." He stroked the red-head hair softly. "But, I suppose if it's what you wish to call me, then so be it." He kissed the reaper's forehead.

"You're not a fish, but rather a sexy bunny." He said with a little grin. The idea of having his boyfriend dress as a bunny both sounded amusing and appealing. He got up from the bed and went to his closet. He was glad he owned a sexy bunny costume. He threw it to Sebastian. Put this on." He said with a smirk.
