pt three cuz it doesnt feel finished
Part one, Part two, Part three
in a surprising turn of events, you and the demon decide to team up. Sebastian is no longer grell's obsession, and he's never felt freerer. on the other hand, you are constantly on edge, wondering when grell will burst through the door to blabber about wedding preparations and all that. sebastian tells you that he's prepared to 'clean up your mess' and you agree since it's technically your fault she's here.
still, you should've read the fine print a little more.
'clean up the mess' turns more into a supernatural standoff.
"Michaelis." Grell scowls when the demon approaches him. You linger behind the butler, peeking out from behind his back.
"Jealous I moved on from you, so now you steal my darling?" Grell accuses. "As flattering as you are, I won't take you back. My heart belongs to another."
At that, she blows you a kiss and winks. You wilt. Sebastian barely even blinks.
"I've come to make a deal." He suggests. "Clearly you are interested in the human, as am I. Perhaps we could co-exist."
You snap your eyes up at him. What?
Grell surveys him. "What, are you suggesting we become co-wife and co-husband?" She sneers. "I could never share my darling that way."
Sebastian looks absolutely disgusted by her suggestion. "Nonsense." He makes a face. "I have no romantic interest in the human. I see the human as a timid mole who is blindly wandering around the pavement, unable to find its way underground. You cannot help but pity and adore it."
Wow, what a charmer. Even Grell looks taken aback by what he said.
With zero percent of your input, a deal is set in place. You will stay as a phantomhive maid for the rest of your contract. When it's up, you will go and live with Grell to be a happy married couple.
Grell skips off with glee, and Sebastian looks like a smug cat as he walks you back to the mansion.
"This was not how i thought that would go," you hiss to him because he essentially just sold you off to the reaper just for a year of peace.
Sebastian shrugs. "I will miss having you around." He pats your head. "I suppose this is like rehoming a pet." The fact that he looked genuinely disappointed enraged you.
Later than night, there's a knock on your window. it's grell ofc. you're sighing but you open up the window regardless.
she's shoving a bouquet of red roses into your arms. her voice is uncharacteristically soft.
you silently note how pretty she is when she's blushing.
"I know you aren't ready for marriage." She admits quietly, "but I promise you I'll make a good wife."
"You haven't even asked me to marry you, yet." You point out. "You just...announced it."
She blinks as though she entirely forgot. "Oh...Oh yes! I will do that-"
"Also a couple should get to know eachother first before deciding on marriage. With dates and stuff."
Grell grows more and more flustered. "We-we should probably do that too." She admits sheepishly.
She's not human. She's a crazed, obsessed maniac that runs around with a chainsaw. Hardly wife material.
But you can't help the smile that spreads on your face as you smell the bouquet.
You give her a chaste kiss on the cheek. She freezes.
"Goodnight." You tell her.
"Goodnight." She repeats.
It's like she freaked out so hard, her mind went blank and her body went on autopilot. You watch her leave on stumbling legs. A hand is pressed onto the cheek you kissed.
She's a crazed, obsessed maniac...but maybe you like a little crazy.
