Adrian's POV
I knock lightly on the door to William's office.
"Come in," I hear from the other side. I walk in and see William sitting at his desk.
"You called?" I say with a smile.
"As much as it pains me to ask someone like you for a favor, I need you help."
"Someone like me?"
"A trouble making punk. Honestly, I don't know what Grell sees in you."
"What's your problem?" I yell, trying to keep my temper in check. He's trying to piss me off, I won't give him the satisfaction.
"Right now, you are. You make a mess of everything. I hope you learn your place."
"Bite me. Just what the hell do you need me to do."
"Show some respect. I am your superior."
"Sorry, sir. What is my assignment."
He walks over to a file cabinet and pulls a file from it, "I want you to deliver this to a young man by the name of Ciel Phantomhive. Him and his filthy pest of a butler have helped us out on countless occasions. Then you are to go visit the Undertaker. Ask him about the Trancy death and report the results to me."
"Whatever you say."
"I want you to be on your best behavior, brat. Phantomhive's butler may be the scum of the earth, but he's very well-respected. And the Undertaker is one of the most skilled Reapers alive. He may be retired but is still a great ally. I don't want you causing problems with them"
"What makes you think I'll piss them off?"
"You piss everyone off. I honestly don't know how Grell puts up with you."
"Maybe he actually cares."
"If he does, it's a mystery as to why."
I grab the file and start for the door, "I'll do your fucking errand. Get you your report. But I'm gonna say one more thing before I go. You are a fucking dick. Ok? I said it. I hope you feel powerful treating us how you like. Like you fucking own us. I just want you to know you don't, we have free will."
"Watch your mouth, you little fuck. I'll have you cast out of here so fast, and regardless of what he's said to you, Grell wouldn't do shit about it."
"You don't know what you're talking about. He cares."
"You think anyone would care about a fuck up like you? Why would he? You've caused nothing but trouble for him. Right now he's cleaning up the mess you made in the library. Wait. Do you love him?'
I freeze, I never thought about it. Do I love him? "I, don't know."
"Well, regardless of what you feel, I doubt he feels the same way."
"I don't care if he doesn't. I don't know if he loves me, but I do know he cares. And thats enough for me."
If William has anymore to say, I don't want to hear it. I walk out the door and head to the gate.
"Heading to London?" the gatekeeper asks and I nod, "Have a safe journey."
I arrive in the city in an instant and start to head to the Phantomhive Manor. I just want to get these tasks done so I can go back and see Grell.
