It's been a while since I had to worry about myself around a certain shinigami. A good hundred years, if I'm correct, which I nearly always am. I've seen him around, sure, but it hasn't been like it used to be. I'm used to seeing him around every corner, hearing his name on every whisper of people around me. Of course, he hasn't been anywhere, it seems, that I have been, and I find that strange.
I see a flash of red around the corner and brace myself for a tackle and screech of 'Sebas-chan!', but I find it wasn't anything more than a woman in a red coat at the train station. Hmm...I find myself wondering odd things, lately. Like...if Grell isn't lurking behind every curtain, whose house is he haunting? Whose sheets does he twist, whose face does he kiss...? No, these thoughts are stupid. ...but I wonder who can't resist...whose name he hisses...No. I know I have someone, and this is a stupid thought for someone else...
But I still can't get Grell out of my head, and it feels like I shouldn't be so devoted to My Lord. But that, in itself, is a stupider thought than any other.
**********Time Jump to Two Weeks Later**********
I don't think much about him, anymore. He's finally left my mind. And then I catch a noise that sounds distinctly like his mutter something I'm not about to believe. Peeking down the alley, I find three people smashed up against the brick wall of a building, the street light illuminating them. I catch hints of brown, silver and red, and catch another moan that seems to be coming from the one in the middle.
"Oooh...T-taker~ Ah! Wi-will..." I know that voice, as breathy and entrancing as it is to me, now. And the only two he could be talking about...
I guess my questions have all been answered. And as I turn around and begin to wander off, I hear a smug voice behind me.
"You could have had this, devilish fiend." That's William, for sure. And then another.
"Sebastian...you're really missing out. Our lady is absolutely gorgeous in the coffin, even better than the pretties!"
"Sebas-chan? Where?" That makes me freeze, and I turn a little to offer a small smile.
"Just seeing if I could find Undertaker for My Lord. He's requesting your information on something when you're finished." What a lie, but it helped him hide his curiosity as he took his leave, leaving the three to finish their business in the alleyway.
