William burst open the door to his office, dragging Grell in with him and plopping him into a chair. Grell looked up at him with wide, frightened eyes.
He needn't have. William wasn't mad, he was confused. He was confused at everything, and he wanted some answers. And he had a feeling that Grell was the only one who could give them to him.
"Why?" he spat out the word.
Grell looked up, a tiny glint of confusion on his flabbergasted face. "Wh-why what?"
"Why do I feel like this, you moron, that's what! I know it's your fault, so fess up! This morning, I was at my best, I was going to beat this test, because I knew I was physically, and, and… emotionally ready for it! Now look what you've done! I don't care how, Sutcliff, just fix it!"
The redhead just blinked, not knowing what to do, not expecting this sort of reaction. His love seemed conflicted- pretty much an emotional mess at this point. It was, in a way, totally adorable. He looked up at William, who was now massaging his temples frustratedly, pulling at his hair. That was just too cute!
But, he knew he had to fix this, and better yet, he knew exactly how. He rose from his seat, and waltzed over to face the black-haired reaper.
"Fine, but you have to say the magic words." He tilted William's chin down so that he had no choice but to look into Grell's shinigami eyes.
Thump. Thump. Thump. Thump. Thump…
"S-Sutcliff cut it out…" William found it hard to meet Grell's gaze. Just earlier today this man had been a bumbling, annoying, and positively irritating pest. Now, well, now he just didn't know. His mind was screaming at him 'what the hell are you doing- what kind of reaper are you?', but his heart was saying something else. Something faint, but not distant. All of a sudden, it came out of Grell's mouth.
"I love you, Will."
He snapped. He couldn't take it anymore. Those eyes, that smile, the flowing red hair- it was all too much for his emotionally unstable self to handle. He leaned forward and closed the gap between them.
Now it was Grell's turn to be wide-eyed. Never in his wildest- well, maybe his wildest- dreams did he imagine his love, the crush of over 80 years, would love him back.
After a few moments, Will broke the kiss. He trailed his fingers through that smooth red hair, and knew exactly what he had to say.
"I… I love you too… Grell."
This was my first complete fanfiction- Hope you enjoyed it! Please review! And I apologize this chapter sort of sucked- like a lot.
