Description
William had been working everyone to the bone that day. No one really expected it to happen, and to her of all people. Grell had seen the look of despair in his colleague eyes. He saw the same expression on his face, but there was something missing. When news got out that she had perished, everyone was in shock, even Pops. The bubbly personality, the well organized files, even her annoying habit of putting paper clips in both sides of the file would be missed. Grell sighed and looked out the window, William had been showing around new recruits, directing them to the other office on the opposite side of the building.
It was a bit farther than the one he would normally direct them too, but without her there, it wasn't the same. It was as if fate mocked William from time to time; He would go to her office, and remember that she would no longer be there to greet him, or she wouldn't be at their place,that she had just recently moved into with him. Grell tried to cheer him up, but even he gave up, especially when William got an approval for no relationships in the work place. Never had the red head see such sadness. But how could he blame him, the love of his life perished in his arms...
~Flash Back~
Grell sighed, and was standing around with (y/n) and the undertaker while the city burned. "I never seen so much chaos before." she mumbled. "So someone has been plundering souls." William said to the three. "Will!" Grell exclaimed, "William!" (Y/n) exclaimed as she hopped off the stoop she was sharing with the undertaker. "Well the taking of souls is necessary, it is the province of reapers. One this just one occasion, I am willing to take on unpaid overtime." he said, with other reapers beside him, and adjusting their glasses. "Here Grell Sutcliff." he then said, while throwing Grell his death scythe. "See Grell, I told you, you were going to get it back." (y/n) said as she walked up to William. "You are all expected to take out a goodly number, the after party will be a business expense." he said, she giggled a bit and got out her scythe. "Well then, shall we be off William?" she asked him, he nodded. "You are to be split into pairs. Get to it." he ordered, and everyone scattered. Soon we were cutting off souls. But to (y/n), it was as if they weren't even a human soul. As she moved a bit away from the others, a sudden blast happened, and white light filled the sky, spreading fast. The blast caused the buildings around to shake, and crumple. Everyone looked suddenly when they heard her scream.
William tried to reach her in time, but the building had already crumbled. "(Y/n)!" Grell and William shouted. The other reapers were shocked at the sight. William then started to move away the blocks of the building. "Don't just stand there looking like idiots, help William!" Grell shouted, and forgot about his nails for once. He has never seen will look desperate. The others helped him, and soon she was uncovered. Unfortunately, how they found her, wasn't so pleasant. Williams eyes widened, and Grell covered his mouth. When they uncovered her, it was as if she tried to protect herself with her scythe, but in the end, it went through her chest. She coughed and blood came from the sides of her mouth. The sky started to brighten slowly. "Will..." her voice said softly. William continued to remove the blocks, as did the others. Once the majority were out of the way, they formed a circle around her. "Save your breath (y/n)." William instructed her and he held her gently, she smiled weakly while lifting her hand slowly, to caress his cheek. "I remember how I died....I jumped off a building, because I couldn't be with the one I loved...Funny isn't it?" she said, and coughed more.
"(Y/n)..." Grell mumbled sadly.
(Y/n) looked over at Grell, and smiled weakly. "T-take care of him, a-alright?" she said, and coughed hard. Soon her body was fading slowly. Grell couldn't help but shed tears, she was the only one who would join him, when he was slacking off. But mostly because he had helped her and William get together. Soon her body faded into something that was neither metal or dust. Only thing that reminded them that she was there, was her scythe. "We must hurry." William stated, as he got up, and taking her scythe out of the ground. Grell saw in his eyes, that usually were cold, looked almost life less....
~End Flash Back~
Grell sighed and then leaned against the wall. The times have moved on since then. That was ages ago, he hadn't seen Sebastian in a while. So Grell decided to take Will on an outing. "Oh William! Let's go out!" Grell shouted, as he ran, then he grabbed Williams arm and ran fast. He did not stop until they were back in the human world. Everything was advanced, and easily accessible. Grell smiled and had him change into clothes that wouldn't stand out as much. But William wouldn't budge. "Oh will, you need to not be a stiff." he stated and dragged him around. It wasn't until he saw a red wedding dress that he forgot about why he was there. "Oh what a beautiful dress! Bassy would just adore this!" he said, and hugged himself while fantasizing about his nights with Sebastian. "Oh what a lovely dress." a voice said, and both their eyes widened. Both men turned, and saw a woman, with (h/c) hair, and eyes that resemble a reapers, glancing at the window. "(Y/n)..." William mumbled, and Grell heard. "The color red is very passionate my dear." Grell said, she nodded and smiled. When she looked at them, she paused, and her eyes lingered on Will. "There you are (y/n)! Come on! Or the group will leave us!" another voice said, both watched as a girl randomly showed up. "Sorry, I was amazed by this dress." she said while looking away from the males, the other girl chuckled and tugged her along. William gazed at her, and as he watched, he noticed she put a hand on her head, and then she looked at him, with tears running down her cheeks....
I walked with Sasha, away from the dress shop, but then a voice whispered in my head, "Go back to him....Go back to William...." the voice whispered, "Will...iam...?" I whispered, and suddenly a pain shot through my head, and suddenly images appeared. Images I don't remember ever having, but those guys appeared constantly. I suddenly looked back, and the feeling of tears streaming down my face was eminent. I pulled away from Sasha, and then broke out in a run back to them. Soon I jumped onto the one named William. "W-william!" I exclaimed, as unknown memories appeared of us together. To the last moment of us being together, when I saw saw the heart broken look in his eyes. He held me in his arms even then. Those arms that felt so familiar, yet so new. I glanced up, and his eyes were unusual. "(Y/n)..." he whispered, his eyes looked into mine, and I saw them change to ones of a lover. "Don't let me go." I said while clinging to him. He nodded and held me close to him, tears streamed more, and the moments from beginning to end, flowed into my mind, and into my heart. I was given a second chance to meet him again, I was truly happy for once in my life. "Oh darling! It's so nice to have you back!" I heard Grell say, while wiping his eyes. I pulled away from William, and hugged my best friend. Both of us cried. But after that, Sasha came running back. "(Y/n)! Come on, or seriously, the group will leave." she said to me, I nodded then sighed.
I looked at William and Grell. "Where are you staying darling?" Grell asked me, "At the Boston Hotel. It's a few blocks away from undertakers shop." I said, William took note of it. "I will be there to get you later. Be ready, come sutcliff." he said, and looked at me. I went back to him, and couldn't help but hug him. Finally, just finally. We can be together again. "I'm sorry to keep you waiting William." I mumbled, "Don't leave again." he said while tilting my chin up, and kissing me. I smiled into the kiss. It was as if I never died. Soon we parted, and I wrote down whatever information he would need, but it's William, he would find me either way. I waved as Sasha dragged me away. I get to spend more time in your arms, get to see your eyes again, and to be in your embrace always.
If this isn't happiness...What is?...
