This was a short drabble I wrote by request, the situation being that Grell had to propose to Madam Red.

Enjoy!


The brunette shifted on his heels, seemingly a bit more nervous than usual. He hated having to disguise himself in such a manly looking body, but it was necessary for their plans to work. At first, he had considered being the woman's butler. Stuttering, clumsy Grell Sutcliff… But after careful consideration, he realized he would much rather play another role, something slightly more… passionate. Passion was, after all, the basis for their current relationship. Passion for that lovely, lovely spatter of red. The same red that colored the roses Grell was currently carrying. Offering them to his lady, he bent down on one knee, and reached into his pocket, in search of a ring. One, he had no doubt stolen from the room of their latest victim. It didn't matter. It would look far more lovely on the lady in red than on the cheap prostitute he'd taken it from. A simple gold band made the ruby that adorned it seem even more vibrant and beautiful, almost as beautiful as the deed that had led to collecting it had been to the pair. "Angelina… You are the only woman to have ever matched the flame that burns within me. Your passion… your fire… I've never seen such beauty in any being…" He paused his over dramatic rambling, producing the ring for her. "Will you marry me?" He questioned.

The woman's eyes were wide with shock. She knew, it was all an act. A show they had to put on so as not to be caught by her own nephew. But still… seeing the man before her, craving that fire within her, set her heart ablaze. "G-Grell… are you sure?" She stuttered, not having expected this at all.

The brunette only grinned, and slipped the ring onto his lady's finger. Being a grim reaper, he was aware that Madam Red's time was running out. The curtain was soon to close on their act, and there would be no cheers for an encore. Still, he stood, grin only widening as he pulled Angelina towards him in a tight embrace. "Until death do us part, my dear~" He whispered.
