A/N There is one-sided RonaldXGrell in this chapter, but you will see why I have put it in next chapter. No – RonaldXGrell is not going to take over the fic, it’s just for plot advancement.
Two days had passed. Things had not gotten much better. If anything, William had only gotten worse.
Grell and Ronald were currently making their way down to Undertaker’s shop together. Grell had pleaded for the young Reaper to let him go by himself, but the mischievous male had insisted.
When they arrived at the shop, Ronald enthusiastically pushed the door open and ran in. Grell, however, was panicking on the inside – he knew that Undertaker was going to realise that he had been lied to.
Grell walked slowly into the shop, biting his lip as he did so. He noticed that the two shinigami were seated on some of the coffins towards the back of the shop, seemingly waiting for him.
Grell gulped before he smiled weakly. “…H-hey…”
Undertaker smiled. “Hello, Grell. Here to entertain me again? Hehehe…”
Grell nodded, his smile increasing. It was a good sign if Undertaker hadn’t questioned him just yet. He made his way to his friends and sat down beside Ronald. While he was oblivious to the way that the youngest shinigami instantly moved closer to him, Undertaker wasn’t.
“You must be Ronald.” Undertaker giggled. “Grell has said lots about you.”
Ronald grinned and moved to embrace his mentor. Grell flinched and tensed at the action, but the young Reaper didn’t seem to notice. Undertaker did, though. He noticed every little thing that Grell did – he just knew better than to comment on it.
“Grell-Senpai!” Ronald squealed happily as he tightened his hug. “I’m so happy that you talk about me!”
Grell offered a faux smile in return to his subordinate’s words.
“I take it that you are feeling much better.” Undertaker grinned before giggling again. “The way that Grell had put it, you had taken some serious damage.”
Ronald slowly released his teacher before frowning at the silver-haired male. “Huh? W-what?”
“The demon that you fought with.”
Grell sent a pleading look to Undertaker, silently begging him to stop talking. Undertaker, however, continued on speaking.
“Grell said that he had to jump in. He’s been very worried about you. But I can see that you are fine now.”
Ronald turned confused eyes to the red-head. “What is he talking about, Senpai?”
Grell bit his lip and looked away. He was aware of the Undertaker’s smile growing larger as the silver-haired shinigami tilted his head in curiosity.
“You lied, Grell?” Undertaker questioned in a laid-back manner. He giggled when Grell nodded. “Why would you lie to me, my dear? You know you can tell me anything, hehehe.”
Grell frowned as tears welled up in his eyes. He wanted to tell Undertaker the truth – he really did! – but he found it too heard to speak about. He felt as if he were betraying William by telling others what happened between them, and he didn’t want to feel like that – no matter what the respected shinigami did to him, Grell would always love William.
“I bet it has something to do with William, huh?” Ronald questioned as he wrapped his arms tighter around Grell in what was supposed to be a comforting hug. “He’s always treating you badly – I hate it.”
Grell felt his whole world shatter at these words. He knew that he couldn’t blame Ronald – the young shinigami was just worried – but now that Undertaker knew what was bothering him, the elder would probe.
“Is what Ronald said true, Grell?” Undertaker’s voice had taken a softer turn as he spoke. He was patient until he received a half-hearted nod. “Why didn’t you tell me about this? I could’ve helped…”
“I don’t think that Grell-Senpai wants anyone to know…” Ronald frowned as he just now realised his blunder. He buried his face into the red coat, feeling horrible. “I’m sorry, Grell-Senpai… I-I didn’t think…!”
A single tear slid down Grell’s cheek as he returned the embrace. “It’s okay, Ronnie…”
Undertaker stood up and moved to sit down beside the two younger Reapers. He placed a hand on the small of Grell’s back, feeling tension.
“Is there anything I could do to help, Grell?” Undertaker asked softly.
Grell just shook his head. He reached out and took the larger hand in his own.
“I’d rather everyone just stay out of this…” Grell whispered as more tears slid down his cheeks. “…It’ll only lead to trouble for others if they get involved… Besides – no one cares…”
“I care.” Undertaker spoke without hesitation. “And Ronald clearly cares, too.”
Grell just shook his head. “I don’t see why you two would care when no one else does…”
“Senpai, don’t talk like that…” Ronald whimpered. Undertaker glanced over at the childlike Reaper. He wasn’t surprised to see a burning love in those yellow-green eyes. “You’re upsetting me…”
Grell just shook his head. He hugged himself in an attempt to calm down.
“What do I do…?” Ronald whispered in despair to Undertaker.
Undertaker frowned. “He needs time-out. I hear you’re very fond of pubs, Ronald. Maybe buy him a drink or two and try and get him to open up…”
Ronald nodded. He got to his feet and reached down to help the red-head stand as well. Before either of them could move, Undertaker placed his hand on Grell’s shoulder and leant in close to whisper to the Sutcliff only.
“Grell, if there’s anyone else out there,” Undertaker begun, “who makes you happy, I think you should really go for them. Forget William – he’s not worth it if he’s doing this to you.”
Grell looked up at Undertaker with heartbroken eyes. “…I don’t want anyone else… I love Will… I know he loves me, too… I only want Will…”
Undertaker felt his heart constrict painfully at these words. It was true – he loved Grell very much, but he knew that the Sutcliff was far too enamoured with William to even consider someone else. He glanced at Ronald and saw the pain flitting across his young face – eyes closed tight and a clenched jaw.
“…Even so…” Undertaker found himself whispering. “…I want you to be happy, Grell… And if there’s even one other person who makes you happy… I want you to take them… No matter whom they may be…”
Even if it means I’ll forever be without you… Undertaker thought as he watched Ronald lead the older Reaper towards the door. …I just want you to be happy… No matter what...
-XX-
Ronald giggled as he looked at his Senpai. They had been holed up in the local tavern for a few good hours, doing nothing but talking and drinking. Ronald was drunk. While Grell wasn’t smashed himself, he had still done a good job of getting buzzed.
Grell offered the younger a cheeky grin. “W-why are you… laughing?”
Ronald giggled again before blushing and looking away. “I was… thinking about… how pretty you are…”
Grell smiled and reached out, petting Ronald’s head. “You’re… pretty, too…”
Ronald’s blush deepened. He had no conscious thought of leaning forward and placing his lips on the red-head’s. He was extremely pleased when he felt his superior kissing back.
“A-ahh, Shenpai…” Ronald whimpered as he pulled away reluctantly. “…I…”
Grell silenced his subordinate by placing his lips back over Ronald’s. When they broke apart once again, he offered the younger a shy look.
“…W-will is…” Grell struggled to find the right words. “…W-working… C-come home…?”
Ronald giggled again and nodded. He wrapped his arms tightly around the red-head before placing a kiss on the elder’s cheek.
“I love you…” Ronald whispered, ducking his head.
Grell didn’t reply, but he smiled back. Together, they stumbled their way back to Grell’s apartment where clothes were quickly shed.
A/N If anyone is displeased by the RonaldXGrell, I apologise – as I stated earlier, it is for plot advancement and you shall see what I mean in the beginning of the next chapter.
