Chapter 1 | Sleepless
The alarm went off, waking the red head, making her irritated. She slammed a hand over the off bouton and the blaring stoped. She rubbed her eye and looked over at the clock.
8:00am.
That was only two hours of sleep she got last night. She reached over and grabbed her glasses, lazily pushing them onto her face. She dragged herself out of bed and walked into the kitchen to make some coffee. Quickly finishing her breakfast she wandered back into her room, feeling a little more awake.
She pulled on her usual clothes and brushed her hair, applied makeup, brushed her sharp teeth and grabbed her chainsaw on the way out. And off to work she went.
"Grell! Hey! We have work down in London again" Ronald said, cheerily walking over to her.
"Oh... that's great" she replied tiredly.
"Damn, didn't get much sleep?"
"Two hours"
Ronald cringed at the thought of only two hours of sleep.
"Yikes, it just keeps getting worse doesn't it?" He said.
"Yep" Grell replied with a yawn.
"You know, I've heard that sleeping next to someone helps, but it's gotta be someone you love. Apparently it also reduces depression and makes you live longer"
Grells face lit up, she could sleep next to Sebastian! But wait, Sebastian wasn't exactly on the same page with her, in fact? Do demons even sleep.
"Hmm... I might have to pay Bassie a visit"
"Oh lord, are you seriously going to try and get him to sleep with you?" Ronald asked.
"Hell yeah, not only do I get to sleep next to Sebastian, I get to actually sleep for once. I'm not giving up until he cures my insomnia" Grell replied.
"Good luck with that"
"Why don't you try and cure your insomnia like that? It may not be as bad as mine but it's an excuse to sleep next to..."
"Grell don't"
"...Will"
"GRELL!"
The red reaper giggled and began to run off, knowing she was in the shit now. She was chased out of the work building by Ronald and all the way into the streets of London where they were due to work anyway. After their little play fight, it was straight to work, taking cinematic records and whatnot.
"Hey Ronny, can you finish up, I have to pay a demon a visit"
"Fine, only because I want to see if you can actually get him to sleep with you"
"Thanks! I'm off then!"
Grell ran through the streets and eventually up to the Phantomhive manor. She knocked on the door and was greeted by Sebastian, who tried to close it on her.
"WAIT BASSIE THIS IS SERIOUS!" She exclaimed, pushing against the door.
"What do you want?" Sebastian said.
Ciel had decided to come and see what all the noise was, he was now watching from the staircase.
"Well you know how reapers get insomnia? Well mines gotten increasingly worse, I've been running on 1-2 hours of sleep for months now. I've tried everything! All but one... sleeping next to someone. You're the only one I love, can I sleep next to you? Please? For my health?" She explained.
"No wa-"
"Do it"
Both the demon and reaper whiped their head to the boy by the stairs.
"My lord, what?" Sebastian said.
"Do it" Ciel said.
"Wha- why?"
"If it works, then that could be a pretty big medical breakthrough. It's all an assumption now, but if it works we can claim the discovery of this as ours. This is an order, you will sleep with Grell"
"Y-yes, my lord..."
Grell ran over to the young boy and pulled him into a hug.
"THANK YOU CIEL!" She exclaimed.
"You're welcome, now get off!"
Grell took a step back and gave Sebastian a smile.
"Grell shall stay here tonight, I want to know if this works" Ciel said.
"One problem my lord" Sebastian said.
"What?"
"Demons don't sleep"
"Well you will tonight"
Grell couldn't stop smiling. What a night it would be. What would you call this? A sleepover or an experiment? Whatever it was, she couldn't wait.
