Grell woke up the next morning to the wonderful sight of Robyn led next to him. She looked so peaceful lying there, he decided he wouldnt wake her, but he didnt need to. As Grell was about to get up and get ready for work, Robyn clutched onto his arm, her eyes still closed. Grell turned around and looked at her. Robyn giggled and opened her eyes.
"Where do you think your going?" She said teasingly. "Werent thinking of running off were you?" Grell grinned.
"No" He said laying back down. "I just didnt want to wake you." He said softly while pushing her fringe behind her ear. Robyn smiled.
"Oh, then thats ok " She answered while giggling. Grell smiled and began to sit up again.
"But seriously, I need to go to work Robyn" Robyn sighed.
"Ok then" She said smiling and tucking up under the blankets. "Me on the other hand, im gonna sleep."
"Make sure your awake this afternoon lazy" He said jokingly. Robyn stuck her tongue out at him and he giggled.
"I may as well sleep all day." She said beggining to frown. "I havent got anything to do since i dont have my scythe. Its only thanks to you that i have those scissors..." Grell looked at her sympathetically.
"You could always come with me this afternoon." Grell suggested while getting dressed. "Its better than being cooped up in here all day waiting for William to have a go at you." Robyn sat up in suprise. She forgot all about the fact William was still mad at her.
"Nevermind this afternoon" She said "Ill go with you now."
"Why the sudden change of your mind?"
"The thought of having to face William." Grell chuckled.
"I understand. Get dressed and ill wait for you outside." With that Grell picked up his scythe and walked out of the room. After a while, Robyn was finally ready. She collected her scissors Grell had given her and walked outside. To her suprise, Grell was not waiting outside like he said he would be.
"Great!" she huffed. "Now i gotta go looking for him" She then stomped down the corridors. "Hes lucky hes cute, or id kill him."
As she walked down the corridors, she was stopped by an arm grabbing her and pulling her inside a dark room.
"LET ME GO!" She screamed while struggling to get free. "I SAID LET M-" She was silenced by a hand being placed over her mouth.
"shhhh its me silly" Said a familiar voice. Robyn stopped shouting.
"Grell?" She exclaimed. "What the hell did you do that for?"
"I just wanted to scare you a little hehe" Grell smiled "I didnt mean for you to go nuts" Robyn scowled.
"Well next time you wanna scare me, dont!" Her scowl then turned into a grin and a little giggle. Grell led her out of the room.
"Come on lets get going." He said walking out of the headquarters.
Grell didnt have many souls to collect that day, not half as many as he usually had.
"Well, that my last one for this morning" Grell said while cleaning his scythe off from his last victim. "I havent got another soul to collect till this afternoon." Robyn smiled.
"So you have some time to spend with me?"
"Yes, yes i have" Grell answered grinning. As he wrapped his arms around her and was just about to kiss her, he heard a familiar voice yell
"SEBASTIEN YOU ARE USELESS!" Grell turned around.
"I know that voice..." He said to himself. Robyn looked at him confused as Grell walked away down the alleys.
"Where are you going?" She asked following him. Grell finally stopped walking once he reached a black carriage. Standing next to it was Ciel Phantomheive, who was at that moment scolding Sebastien.
"I knew i recognised that voice!" Grell said. Both Ciel and Sebastien turned to Grell.
"Grell Sutcliff!" Ciel snapped.
"Yes its me, Grell Sutcliff!" Grell said flicking back his hair. Robyn rolled her eyes and then noticed that the demon butler was staring right at her. Rather nervous at the fact the demon wasnt even blinking, Robyn stood closer to Grell. Grell turned to Sebastien.
"Hello Sebby!" He said grinning. Sebastien sighed.
"Grell, please do not start..."
"Start? oh Sebby dont flatter yourself." Grell said sharply. Sebastien was quite suprised by what the shinigami had just said to him. Dont flatter yourself? Grell turned to Robyn.
"Sebby, let me introduce you to Robyn Blackmore." He said while clutching her arm. "A fellow Shinigami and the love of my life."
"Your with him?" Sebastien asked Robyn. Robyn nodded. "Wow Grell, you finally found someone who has no standards..." Robyn scowled.
"Sebastien must we fool around with introduction and what not?" Ciel snapped. "Remember my order? Kill Jack the Ripper?" He pointed to Grell. "Theres Jack the Ripper! Kill him!"
"Yes my lord" Robyn's eyes widened. Grell grinned evily.
"Here we go again.." Robyn stood inbetween Grell and the demon butler, her eyes fixed on the demon.
"Robyn..." Grell asked "What are you doing sweety?"
"If he wants to kill you...he has to go through me first." Grells eyes widened. He couldnt let Robyn get hurt. She couldnt possibly defend herself with those scissors. Before he could do anything to stop her, Robyn attacked the demon. The two began fighting ferociously, Robyn did whatever damage she could with the scissors Grell had given her, but was no match for the demons bruit strength. She was so exausted, she fell onto the ground and was struggling to get back up. The demon walked up to her slowly, while picking up a sword from the carriage. He then lifted up the sword above her.
"Robyn!" Grell shouted. He grabbed his death scythe and rammed it in front on the sword, stopping the demon in his tracks. The demon turned to him and grinned evily. He swung the sword, barely missing Grell who dived out of the way.
"You have no business with her Sebby! This is between me and you!"
"Agreed" Sebastien said nodding. Grell turned to Robyn.
"Get out of here Robyn!" He said sternly. Robyn struggled to her feet.
"Im not leaving you here!"
"Ill be fine" Grell said assuringly. "Go!" Robyn ignored him and watched worriedly as him and the demon fought. With every near miss the demon made, Robyn flinched. She was so scared Grell would get hurt. Sebastian managed to fling the death scythe from Grells hands, leaving him defenseless. He then cut into Grells arms with the sword.
"Ahhh!" Grell screamed as he fell to the floor.
"GRELL!" Robyn cried, she had to do something. She grabbed Grells death scythe and plunged it into the demons stomach. The demon fell to the floor.
"Sebastian!" Shouted Ciel. Robyn then attended to Grell, his arm was bleeding a lot.
"Come on!" She said pulling him up. "That wont hold him for long!" Grell clambered to his feet clutching his arm. Sebastian was not able to get up, but he was able to look at Robyn grinning. Robyn scowled.
"Let me know when you get your priorties right and get rid of that!" He pointed at Grell. Robyn scowled again.
"SCUM!" She snapped as she walked away with Grell.
When Grell and Robyn got back to headquarters, she rushed into the hospital ward where he was taken to get treatment for his wound. Robyn was so worried about him. She had never been this worried about anyone before, she knew it was only a small wound, but she was still terrified. As she watched the nurse take him away on the stretcher, she felt a hand on her shoulder. She spun around swiftly to see that it was William.
"William!...I"
"Dont worry Blackmore im not here to punish you" He assured her. "Im here to see what was going on."
"Its Grell!" She said, a tear in her eye. "He was fighting that demon and he got hurt." William looked worried.
"How much? Is he alright? What happened"
"He got his arm cut, not seriously though." William sighed in relief. Robyn looked at him suspiscously. "Why are you so worried?" She asked him. "I thought you hated the guy?" William looked away. Robyn finally realised. "You do care about him dont you?" She asked him.
"Ofcourse i do!" He said reluctantly. "He knows i do"
"How does he know?" William looked at her confused.
"Im guessing he hasnt told you then?" Robyn glared at him.
"Told me what?" William didnt answer. "William, what happened that would make him know how you feel?" William still didnt answer. "WILL?"
"I KISSED HIM!" Everyone in the room turned to William including Robyn who looked rather angry at that moment.
"YOU WHAT?" She snapped clenching her fists. William sighed.
"I kissed him..." Robyn grabbed hold Williams collar and rammed him against the wall.
"When was this?" She asked gritting her teeth.
"A few days ago."
"How did you end up kissing him?"
"He was upset with me and he said i didnt care about him. Thats when i told him how i felt about him. He was so confused and i just couldnt stand it no more...so i kissed him." Robyn was furious. Her face was red with anger. "But he pulled away from me and told me he was with you..." Robyn calmed down a little once she heard that. Instead of glaring at Will angrilly, she looked down at the floor.
"He did?"
"Yes Blackmore, he said he cared for you and didnt want to hurt you." Robyn let go of William and turned away from him. William sighed.
"Robyn, i-"
"Leave me alone Will!" She snapped, sniffling. William scowled and grabbed her arm.
"Come with me Miss Blackmore" He snapped dragging her down the corridor.
"Let me go you bastard!" She screamed, struggling to break free from Williams grip on her arm. He took Robyn to his office and pinned her to the wall. "Let me go Will!" She demanded while riggling.
"Listen Robyn, you dont know what your getting into here.."
"What are you talking about?"
"Grell is not interested in women, especially not cheap little troublemakers like you!" Robyn scowled.
"How dare you-"
"He is only interested in men! And for years, he has been in love with me!" Robyn struggled.
"Your wrong!" She screamed.
"No im not! Its true!" He snapped "Sooner or later, he will think to himself what the hell he is doing with you and he will dump you! Then he will come running back to me!"
"He loves me!"
"No he doesnt, he thinks he does but he will soon realise hes wrong about you!" Robyn began to cry. William wiped a tear from her cheek.
"I dont mean to be this brutal and spiteful but im only telling you the truth. You may as well let him go because he will never love you like he loves me." Robyn sighed and pushed away from William.
"I cant!" She exclaimed. "I love him Will!" William sighed.
"If you love him, let him go." He said softly. "Let him be happy." Robyn cried more and ran out of the room. She ran down the corridors till she reached the hospital ward. She looked through one of the windows to see Grell sleeping in one of the hospital beds. She looked at and sighed.
"I cant let you go..." She cried. "But i want you to be happy Grell..." She sniffed and wiped her eyes. As she composed herself, she began to walk in the room where Grell was sleeping. Hearing the door open, Grell awoke.
"Robyn.." He said happily. "Im so glad to see you" Robyn smiled and sat on a chair next to the bed. Grell coudl see she was upset. "You ok?" He asked softly.
"Grell, ive been thinking... and ive come to the concusion that ... well ive realised that..." Robyn sighed. Grell looked at her confused and held her hand. "I dont think you love me Grell... as much as i love you..."
"What? Ofcourse i do silly."
"No Grell.." She said with a tear in her eye. "You dont...you think you do but in truth, you wont ever love me because your gay..." Grell sighed.
"Robyn this is silly...If i was gay i wouldnt be with-"
"Grell your confused! One day you will wake up and think what the hell your doing with me... a woman. I cant let you waste your life with someone you dont love. You love William and he loves you."
"No i-"
"Please dont make this harder for me Grell..." She cried while pulling her hand away. "Im sorry but you'll thank me for this some day..." With that, Robyn ran out of the room. As she ran, she heard Grell shouting her name and she began crying uncontrolably until she collapsed on the floor of a corridor, unable to see where she was going from crying. William stood at the end of the corridor watching her crying. He grinned and began to make his way to the room where Grell was.
Grell was crying uncontrolably, he didnt understand what just happened.
"Why would she think i dont love her?" At that moment William walked in. "Will.." He exclaimed. "W-what are you doing here?" He sniffed.
"I came to see how you were doing..." He said softly while sitting down onto the chair. "Why are you crying?"
"Robyn has broken up with me" He bawled "She thinks i wont love her like she loves me.." William sighed and help Grells hand.
"Oh Grell, im sorry. But she may be right about that in some ways..." Grell scowled at him.
"W-what do you mean?"
"Oh cmon Grell, your never attracted to women. Your gay, you know you are."
"No Will i love her!"
"Grell, you dont love her. You want to love her but in truth, you dont." Grell sniffled and looked away. William held Grells chin and turned his face towards him. "You love me.."
"No Will i love-"
"Grell just kiss me...if you dont feel anything then you will know." Grell sighed. "Trust me Grell." William slowly leaned in and Grell reluctantly kissed him. Grell then opened his eyes and sat back.
"See? nothing..." He said scowling. "You happy now?" William sighed.
"Maybe it was too soon. Ill let you rest and think about it more." Grell scowled and turned away from him. William stood up and kissed Grells forehead. "Just think about it ok?" He then walked out down the corridor. Grells lower lip quivered, he hated all this. He just wanted Robyn back. It was so confusing. He wanted William to kiss him for so long, but now that he did, he felt nothing at all. All he did was think about Robyn.
Meanwhile, Robyn had managed to get up off the floor and was now crying her eyes out in her room. She didnt want to do that but William had assured her it was for the best.
