They were out to dinner together. Him and, this redheaded slacker. all because of some stupid bet that the other had won. The bet was that, if he did his paperwork for a month then, William would take him on a date. He accepted because, he thought that there was no way that the slacker would ever do that. He also didn't think that he would remember so, he put it in writing. That might not have been the best idea. Will was pretty sure that he cheated too. There was no way that he could do that much paperwork in a months time.
He sighed in aggravation as he looked down at the bubbly redhead on his arm. Well, there was no getting around it now. They were out and, they were at the place so, he might as well get it over with. This was probably to celebrate his new body. Grell had always wanted to be a woman but, he had never had enough money for the surgery. That was until, he had gotten a raise and, his birthday came and, everyone had given him money for it. His co-workers were all rooting for him. Even William pitched in for it as well. He had given him the raise and, even a check for $100.
He had never seen him so happy. That money had gotten him half way there. for the rest of the year, last year, he had been working his butt off and, saving and, saving. Eventually, by Christmas, he had enough money. He got the change done on the 31 and, spent about a month and a half recuperating.
He had never seen the other man well, woman so happy. It made him feel…good. It felt good to see him like that. He was tamer and, wasn't as loud or perverted it seemed. He still visited him everyday in his office and flirted but, it wasn't as suggestive and, it was more playful. It was nice. To top it off, Grell made a very attractive woman.
Well, as he was leading the other into the restaurant, the other looked up at him and beamed. "I can't believe we're finally going out together!" The redhead said in excitement. Will raised an eyebrow. They had known each other since middle school and, they were just now going out? This perplexed him. "We'll probably do more things in the future." He said with a soft sigh.
Once they were seated, he looked over and, finally seemed to notice the other's curves. Grell had such an angelic smile. It's a wonder he hadn't succumbed to the other's charms awhile ago. The other had always been beautiful to him regardless of gender. He was just glad that he seemed so comfortable with himself now. It made it really nice to be around her.
As he was staring entranced at the other, he faintly heard someone yell, "He's got a gun!" He looked up and, noticed that one of the waiters was dead. His eyes widened. He saw Grell get up. He looked up and, shouted. The man was about to shoot him. He was frozen in fear. Grell jumped in the way. He took a fatal wound to the chest.
His eyes widened when Grell fell to his arms. The redhead smiled weakly up at him. "Will I love.." He never got to finish his sentence. He held Grell's corpse close to him. He was shaking her yelling at her. Pleading for her to wake up but, she wouldn't.
Everything was a blur after that. The cops ended up showing up and, arresting the man. They took eyewitness accounts and, everything.
Some say that Grell wasn't the only one that died that day.
And, their right.
