The Common Butler (Grell x Reader) Chapter 2

You woke up groggily, looking around the room you were in. The ceilings were high, and the

comforter was so soft. You recalled last night and mentally slapped yourself, you can't

believe how careless you were, falling asleep in a common butlers arms! Angrily you threw

off the warm comforter, and and walked swiftly to the delicately crafted wardrobe. You

suddenly realize your outfit from last night had changed and now you are wearing a red

nightgown with a red so vibrate you would think it was dyed from pure blood. You shivered

at the thought of someone dressing you and you not waking up. You flung open the closet

door wantonly, surprised to see that there was actually other colors than red inside. You

spotted a pretty floral print dress that had a (Any color) backdrop at put it on hastily.

You rushed out of the room, forgetting to put shoes on, and wondered throughout the halls.

Suddenly you saw a sudden flash of what you believed is the end of Grells ponytail. Chasing

after it in a human speed, not wanting to be found out just yet. "Grell!" You called

pretending to be wiped out from the running. He turned around and smiled at you, "Oh! Miss,

your awake! Madam Red will be so pleased!" He turned on his heel and left happily. "Um

Grell?" You asked tilting your head to the side in confusion. He turned around once again,

realizing he was about to leave you. 'Oh my! I'm so sorry! I'm so stupid I didn't realize

that of course you would want to speak with Madam Red! I'm sorry I'm such a failure as a

butler I don't deserve to-" You cut him off, shushing his mouth with your index finger.

"Grell, we all make mistakes and I will not tolerate you feeling bad about a mistake

understood?" His eyes were widened, and mouth dropped and your sudden sternness and

somewhat understanding. He nodded and offered you his elbow which you took gladly. "This

way." He said calmly walking toward a giant door which you assumed was her study. Grell

kindly opened the door and let you in first. You nodded at him and entered the study,

seeing Madam Red handling paper work with her glasses on, writing and signing. She slowly

looked up and smiled sweetly at you, which you easily returned and bowed. "Hello dear, may

I ask what your name is?" " My name is (First, Middle, Last name.) Its a pleasure to

officially meet you Madam Red" "The same to you _______, now, if you don't mind will you

please tell me how you ended up on the streets?" She looked concerned at you, furrowing her

eyebrows. You looked at the ground, knowing you had to lie. "Well, I have been living there

since I was little, begging on the streets." You actually felt bad for lying, honestly for

the first time in a while. You could not bear to look either of them in the eyes, never

before had people had such an affect on you. You sighed, due to your inner confliction, but

thankfully they though it was because you were thinking about your past. "Oh." Madam Red

said with wide eyes, blinking intermittently, "Well you are certainly welcome to stay here,

_______" You were taken back, not sure why exactly she was being so nice. No one was nice

to you in the Reaper Realm. Ever. You blinked at her, not sure if you should trust the

offer or not. Suddenly, excitement swept over you as you felt... wanted. You rushed to

Madam Red behind her desk and gave her a big hug. "You mean it?" You said pulling back,

scanning her eyes for any hesitation, gladly, you saw none as she nodded and hugged you

back. You felt like crying, no... no. You couldn't cry, you can't show weakness. You must

not get attached to this human you thought to yourself. You let go of her and tried to act

more professional. "I promise you to make up for your kindness, I will work here with

Grell, if you allow me." You bowed your head to her, not wanting to just be here for

no cost. She nodded once again, "I guess, although you really don't have too, Grell is

really sufficient enough." Her brows furrowed, wanting you to take the question seriously.

You nodded reassuringly, "I'm sure, your kindness deserve something in return, if not

everything." You bowed to her once again then looked up and smiled. You quickly span to

were Grell was standing. "Alright! Come on Grell we have work to do!" I grabbed him by his

coat and ran out of the room in an excited haste. In the middle of your running you

realized something, you had no idea were to go or what to do. You released Grells jacket &

turned to him giggling, "Umm what exactly are we suppose to do?" You asked scratching your

head. Grell only smiled and lead you down the hallway. Look looked at the long hallways,

catching red every so often, but again it was not as dominant as you thought it was going

to be, considering her name is Madam Red. You followed the common butler, well technically

he was not in his true form, which peaked your curiosity. When you finally reached a plain

looking closet door, which Grell opened to reveal cleaning supplies. You looked at him a

smiled, "So what do we start on first?" "W-well I usually start on the floors, If that is

alright with you." Grell asked somewhat nervously. You nodded and grabbed the box clearly

marked 'floor cleaning' and looked back at Grell. "What room do we start in first?" you

question, ready to get to work. Grell walked over to a huge door, and you followed. He

opened it to unmask the ballroom. You smiled at the huge room and put the box on the

ground, admiring the large place. You loved classical dancing. You started humming softly

to a classic ballroom waltz, and grabbed Grell in the process. You started dancing, you

taking the lead and surprisingly, Grell took the ladies roll quite well. You looked at

Grell and continued to hum, you saw the faint blush on his cheeks and innocent face.

Although, he can't be that innocent, he is after all a Grim Reaper. You dance together

gracefully, perfectly on beat to your hums. "You know," You started looking at Grell

confused, "At first I thought you were boring, a common butler if you will," You did a

sharp turn that was required of the dance and continued, "If fact I thought the only hope

for you was your long hair and that red ribbon of yours." You looked at him apologetically

and smiled. "But there is something about you that makes it seem you are worth getting to

know." Finally you span him off and bowed, ending the dance. Still obviously surprised

Grell curtsied, you giggled slightly and grabbed the cleaning box and got to work. After

Grell was out of his shocked state, he began to help you, time went by fast and soon you

both were done. As you were packing up, Grell walked over to you from the side of the room

he was cleaning. "Miss _______, I do believe you are worth getting to know as well." He

bowed, obviously trying to be professional, but as he walked away he slipped on the

slippery ballroom floor which sent you toppling over in laughter. When you finally calmed

down, you saw Grell pouting at you from his spot on the floor. You grinned and stood up,

walking over to the drama queen. You offered a hand which he took. "I'm sorry I ruined the

momen-" Grell started but you gave him a look suggesting he does not dare to apologize.

You wondered quietly, what kind of Grim Reaper is he hiding from the world?
