That night, William was still in his office and was just finishing up his paperwork. Scarlet, who had been carefully instructed by Grell, made her way down to his office and waited for the black haired Shinigami to pack up his things ready to go back to his room.
"Ok... I wait for him to finish and ...just walk with him...and tell him?" She asked herself, putting a finger to her lip as she pondered on the idea. "Well i guess Grell knows best..." So she patiently waited, her head poking through the little window next to the double doors of the office. William was was working on his paperwork quietly, but found it much harder to concentrate now that a certain red headed female kept popping into his mind. Not to mention Grells words circling around his head... He thought back to earlier that morning...
(Memories..)
"Willy, I want to introduce you to my little sister, Scarlet."
...
" You were right about him being handsome Grelly ...And you were right about him being a miserable git too"
...
"I know whats wrong with you...You like my sister..."
...
"You cant fool me, ive seen the way you look at her. I only wish you would look at me that way..."
(...End of Memories)
William sat there for a moment...thinking...could Grell be right? Could that red headed nuicance really be the object of my desires? He continued to ponder on that thought, rather confused and exausted by the days antics. The stress of showing the useless students around the WHOLE facility, while trying to keep that red in check ...that red head with those piercing green eyes which he found himself staring into without a choice in the matter... simply ridiclous! How could i every be interested in a dumb...over the top...overly flirtacious...little wretch? William sighed and rubbed his forehead, the thoughts giving him another headache.
Meanwhile, Scarlet, who had waited a long time for the black haired Shinigami to finish his work, became sleepy. She yawned and began to sit down, crossing over her legs like a child in assembly hall.
"I cant got to sleep now!" She whimpered slapping her hand on her cheeks, trying to keep herslef awak. She felt her eyes slowly shutting more and more by the second and yawned loudly while stetching her arms above her. "Mabye ill just rest my eyes for a second..." She said sleepilly as she laid down on the floor, resting her head on her folded arms. Before she knew it, she fell asleep on the floor outside Williams office.
Once William finished his paperwork he collected his things and slowly made it way out the door. Thoughts still lingering in his mind of the red headed female. He stopped in the doorway and was suprised to see the same person who had riddled in his thoughts all that time, was curled up on the floor sleeping. William stood there puzzled. What was she doing sleeping outside his room? In order not to make his headache worse, he didnt ponder on it too long. He smiled at her at he saw her crinkle her nose in her sleep and nuzzle up to her arms which were underneath her head, acting as a then thought to himself i cant just leave here there...but i cant take her back to her room...i am not permitted to enter her room...and Grell has gone to sleep by now... after a while of wodering just what to do, he decided he would just take her to his room and he would sleep on the sofa. He gently picked up the sleeping red head in his arms and slowly carried her to his room. During the walk, he felt Scarlet nuzzle up to his chest in her sleep and he blushed slightly. Why am i blushing? I should be furious!
Once in his room, William set Scarlet down carefully on the clean, white bed and tucked her under the covers. He looked at her for a while, admiring her beauty. She somehow looked even more beautful when she was sleeping, if that was even possible. He smiled and began to set up his own bed on the sofa with a spare blanket he had found in the wardrobe. Once done with that, he tucked in and thoughts circled his mind once again... Why am i even doing this? It may be my responsibility to look after students but letting them sleep in my own bed is not part of the deal... Tired and confused, William gradually fell asleep.
The next morning, Scarlet opened her green Shinigami eyes and looked around to notice she wasnt in her room. She was in someone elses room, a very organised room to be exact. She quickly sat up with a confused and nervous look on her face. She then noticed she was fully clothed, which kind of put her nerves at rest. This is wierd... she thought sitting herself on the edge of the bed rubbing her eyes. Thats when she noticed William asleep on the sofa in the corner of the room. Rather relieved to see a familiar face, she stood up and walked over to him. She knelt down below him and smiled at him. Oh Willy, your so cute when your sleeping.She thought to herself giving out a little squeal as pushed his hair back from his eyes. But i still dont have any idea what im doing here. As she pondered and thought of how she had ended up in Will's room in the first place, she noticed Wills eyes slowly open. Scarlet who still had her hand on Will's cheek, jumped to her feet quite startled and looked down at William. William yawned and looked up at the Crimson haired female staring down at him nervously. He smiled at her and gradually sat up rubbing his eyes.
"Your awake then?" He asked in a soft tone, not a hint of anger to be seen. Scarlet looked at him with a confused look on her face. He wasnt yelling, he wasnt making any sarcastic remarks, he actuallylooked happy to see her.
"Yes but...what the hell am i doing here?" She asked ,she then jumped a little and spoke again quickly. "Not that i dont mind being in your room Willy..." She said grinning flirtaciously. William chuckled. And hes not snapping at me calling him Willy either... She thought to herself.
"You fell asleep outside my office..." He explained. "...and it would be irresponsible of me to leave a student there in the middle of the hall all night, so i brought you here." Scarlet rolled her eyes from being so forgetful and tapped her forehead with her palm.
"Oh yeah...that was it...Grells plan!"
"What?"
"Oh nothing Willy" Scarlet said sweetly, hoping Will wouldnt catch on what she had said. Thanksfully he didnt. well things definately didnt go to plan, but im still in Willy's room... she thought as she lunged at William clutching hold of his arm, making him fall back in the sofa. "Awh Willy, your so sweet" She said hugging his arm tightly. William grunted and pulled his arm away from her grasp.
"It wasnt an act of kindness" He said coldly as he retrieved his arm from the red headed female "...It was my responsibility to make sure students arent in any danger...so dont go thinking i have any feelings for you because i dont!" He said rather defensively, which made Scarlet giggled a little from relief of William being his normal self again.
Now theres the Willy i know!
Scarlet thought grinning. The one with a heart as cold as ice!
"Awh Willy your so bitter!" She said trying to act hurt by his comment. William felt a little guilt seeing the girls frown on her face and lowered his voice so it was softer and not so intimidating.
"Anyway Miss Sutcliff..." William began, in order to change the subject of last night. "Would you please be so kind as to turn your back so i can get dressed? I would like to actually make it to work today..." He said trying to act angry. Scarlet rolled her eyes and folded her arms.
"Wi~lly..." She said flirtaciously. "You dont have to hide anything from me...i wont mi~nd" She said grinning as she winked at him. William glared at her.
"Fine, fine ill turn around then" She moaned dissapointedly, turning around to face the wall with a huff. As William was getting dressed, she couldnt help but have a peek around ever so sneekily to see his toned chest as he buttoned his shirt. He fortunately didnt see her and Scarlet turned back to the wall blushing and giggling to herself.
Once William was dressed he put on his glasses and picked up his death scythe. After adjusting his glasses making sure they were placed correctly, he turned to Scarlet who was still facing the wall, now tapping her foot impatiently.
"Okay Sutcliff, you can turn around now." He called, finally putting her out of her agonising boredom. Scarlet spun around excitedly, her red hair flowing in all directions and ran over to William's side jumping around happilly.
"So what are we doing to do today Willy?" She asked him, while she played with his tie.
"First, you are going to let go of my tie..." He said sternly, trying not blush. Scarlet scowled and let go of his tie, folding her arms grumpilly. "And youare going to your lessons for the day, while ihave work to do in my office." He said leading her out of the door swiftly. Scarlet began to think to herself ...if he was acting like this, why does Grell seem to think he likes me? Hes exactly the same with Grell, and we know he doesnt like Grell at all...But he did seem happy to see me this morning...
"Oh wi~llyyyy!" Came a high pitched voice from behind, bringing Scarlet out of her trail of thought. Both Will and Scarlet turned around to see Grell walking allong them in his normal, woman like fashion, his long red jacket that he aqquired from the body of Madam Red, swishing about from side to side. Once he realised who was walking beside William, just leaving Williams room, he got suspiscous. "Well...whats been going on with you two?" He asked raising an eyebrow.
"Nothing has been going on Grell Sutcliff!" William snapped defensively. Scarlet giggled and stood next to her brother and explained the situations, without even removing eye contact from William, which made him feel rather uncomfortable but couldnt help staring into the red heads eyes.
"Oh now i get it!" Exclaimed Grell happilly. He hugged Will's arm, eyes closed tightly in releif that William didn't pull away. In fact, William was fed up of pulling away from the hugs by both of the red heads, so decided to just allow it ...once. "Your looking after my little sis for me Willy? But dont get any ideas handsome..." He warned giggling and waving his finger. William facepalmed and pushed Grell away.
"Trust me Grell Sutcliff...I wont!" He growled. After giving both Grell and Scarlet an angry glare, William turned on his heel and stormed down towards his office. Grell and Scarlet watched as he left, wondering why the black haired Shinigami was so sensitive. Grell turned to Scarlet.
"Im guessing the plan didnt work?" He asked her. She frowned defeatedly.
"No it didnt..." She answered. "But i got in his room" She winked playfully and Grell giggled.
"Yeah i guess so Scarl'" He said giggling. "Well, I have to get going now hun'" He said rather sad to be leaving his sister. "And you have to go to class" He said poking her nose playfully. Scarlet jumped at being reminded of class.
"Shit!" She exclaimed as she checked her watch to see that to her dismay, she was 20 minutes late. She was just about to rush off when she thought to herself. Why am i worried? Im Scarlet Sutcliff! I dont give a shit whether im late or not... With that thought in her mind she said goodbye to Grell and slowly made her way to the classroom on her timetable... Maths! Scarlet groaned as she read the timetable. She hated maths...mainly because she was never any good at it. Well this is going to be fun...
Chapter 5 will take a little longer but not too long hopefully. Please tell me what you think :)
