chapter 1:

Mirror, Mirror, Please don't fall…

A familiar ringing sound could be heard through a thick black haze. As the haze disappeared more and more the noise grew louder. Grell opened his soft green eyes, which at first tried to hold onto the sleep he had just abruptly been awaken from. Instead, they quickly turned to glare at the buzzing alarm clock.

'If eyes could light fires.' He thought too himself.

He shrugged to covers off his body and sat up in bed. He reached out his delicate arm to turn off the alarm and retrieve his glasses before returning to the rest of his body. He glanced down at his chest and proceeded to poke it softly.

"If only you would grow." A sigh escaped his throat.

"Then maybe he would love me." Regret filled his voice.

Grell's eyes were glossy and seemed overly wet. Not enough to bring tears to his eyes but enough to remind him of the pain he felt. With another sigh he threw the covers off of his body and across the room. What an awful color he though to him self. It was 'his' favorite color though, and that meant Grell would force him self to enjoy sleeping under it as much as his love did.

He swung his feet over the side of the bed before sliding off the rest of the way. The floor was cool and left him missing his warm bed, but he had to get ready and look his best for 'him'. The man he had taken this job for, the man he tried so hard to impress, the only man in Grell's life who had stuck around. His one true love.

With an intake of breath he swiftly tossed off his silk night gown. The pink fabric landed on the floor along with a multitude of dresses he had tried on the night before.

Step by step he made his way too his adjoining bathroom. It wasn't very far, but each step left him wanting the warmth of his bed even more. Once inside the blindingly white bathroom he dropped his lace underwear and quickly stepped inside the glass shower. Turning the knob he felt the water begin to kick on and took a step back to get out of the way of the water before it had been properly heated to his liking. Once warmed he stepped under the nozzle and let the water cascade down his porcelain skin. His Hair clung to his back…and butt…and thighs. The dazzling red color of his hair was Grell's favorite color, and oh how he cared for his hair to preserve that one special color.

After a thorough cleaning Grell emerged from the steamy shower. He grabbed one of the white towels from rack and wrapped it around his body. He applied deodorant and then started to brush his teeth. Using his hand he wiped away the condensation from the mirror and gazed at himself.

'I AM happy.' Grell though

"I enjoy myself." His thoughts turned to words.

"So why can't he." His soft mouth turned into a slight frown.

"Asshole."

With that, Grell retreated from the bathroom back into his bedroom. He turned his attention to his vanity. The makeup was well placed and organized, unlike his wardrobe at the moment. He quickly moved over and sat down on the red velvet ottoman he used as a chair. With a glance at his produces and a sigh he quickly dove into his routine makeup. An hour of time past as Grell's hands danced gracefully across his face leaving pigments only wear he wanted them. His skills were unfathomable to any mere human. Good thing Grell wasn't human. He was a Shinigami.

"A just a tad more…Done!" Grell set his makeup brush down in its proper place before moving back to review his work.

"Perfect!" Grell smiled and looked over at his alarm clock.

"And right on time." He hummed

Throwing the towel from his body against the bathroom door he skipped over to his now half empty wardrobe. Opening up the doors he looked around inside debating what to wear. He grabbed a pair of pink boyshort underwear and stepped into them. Then settled on a scarlet v-neck top and a pair of black leather skinny jeans. After adorning his body in the chosen clothes. He pranced over to his shoes rack and grabbed his favorite red and black heeled boots, set his delicate feet inside them, zipped them up, then went back to the bathroom to do his hair.

"Hmm…Ponytail, or bun?" Grell asked himself aloud.

He pulled his hair up into a pony tail with his hands. Then started to giggle slightly.

"Definitely a bun!" Grell now had a smile on his face; he always made himself laugh in the mornings.

After twisting and folding, pinning and poking, Grell had the hair he wanted. A loose, messy, yet sexy looking bun. He winked at himself in the mirror blew himself a kiss then left the bathroom. With a glance at the clock.

"I'M LATE!" he shouted.

Quickly grabbing his messenger bag full of paper work, and his signature red coat with black trim he raced out the door. His work was adjoined with the apartment complex for all employed Shinigami anyway so it wouldn't take long to get there. Except on this particular morning. As he pushed open the building door and raced in, he ran into something solid and muscular. Both shinigamis fell too the floor in a heap, sending paper work everywhere. Grell rubbed his head and then realized what had happened. He crawled around on his knees picking up the others paper work.

"I-I'm so sorry, it won't happen again, you see I was late and…" Grell's word vomit was cut off by the other man speaking.

"See too it that this doesn't happen again Sutcliffe." The man's voice sounded harsh and cold.

Grell knew that voice. He knew that tone. His eyes were on the paper work and when he looked to the bottom, sure enough he was right. It was 'his'.

"Y-Yes William, it won't happen again." Grell shoved his boss's paper work back into his arms and quickly dashed down the hall way to his office. Once he got there he jumped inside the office and closed the door and leaned against it. His heart was thumping and his face flushed a little.

"Damn it Grell!" he breathed to himself.

A soft knock sounded at the door. "Open up Sutcliffe." The voice behind the door was the same voice from earlier, Williams's voice.

'Shit' Grell though silently
