Chapter 10
"On Thursday I work Overtime"
(A.N. Sorry I missed uploading yesterday! I was busy fighting the great beast homework. D'X Well anyway, Grell's POV, modern setting, continuation from the last oneshot.)
It wasn't fair, really. All Grell had been trying to do was explain what had happened in the pub last night, why did Will have to kick him? And to top it off, he had given Grell overtime. Oh, Will was so cold-hearted~~
Looking around the office, Grell saw some newbies fresh from the Academy who had the misfortune to be heard having fun at work near Will's office. Poor things... Grell went over to a group of them who were talking quietly in a corner. They got quieter as some of the smarter ones noticed Grell's glasses, but one girl had her back to Grell and kept on talking. "I really don't see why I should have to be here with you two." she complained to the two boys with her. "You started it anyway. Honestly, you two need to watch out for..." The girl trailed off, noticing for the first time that her companions were staring at something behind her and not paying any attention to what she was saying. "What?"
Grell tried for a warm smile, but his teeth just made it look like a leer. "Oops." Grell thought as the newbies shrank further back. The one who had been talking got over the shock quicker than the others. "Who are you?" she asked, a wary look on her face. "Grell Sutcliff. And you?" Grell replied. Again, two of the three seemed to shrink back with one looking at Grell with a sort of detatched interest. "Jennet Ingles." the girl said. She nudged the others, and they introduced themselves as well. "Jasper Bell." "Michael Andreas."
"So, what did you three do to get Will's wrath?" Grell asked, starting on the overtime paperwork. Jasper and Michael looked a little sheepish while Jennet glared at them. "We were having a snowball fight and we kinda hit Jennet." Jasper said. Michael nodded in agreement. Jennet picked up the story from there. "I had been carrying my books, and when they got me in the back of the head I dropped them. So, I made a couple snowballs of my own and got them where it counts, and that's when this severe-looking guy came out and gave all of us overtime. Why are you in here?" Grell winced at the memory. "I went over to the Phantomhive manor, but there was a demon there, so I ran away to a nearby pub... But later the demon came to the pub with another one, and I got out of there." he explained. "...Yeah...?" Michael said with a 'come on, already and get to the point' tone of voice. "Well, that other demon looked like the first demon's and Will's love child... and I was kinda still drunk when I came to work..." Grell winced again. "So I asked will if he had ever gotten it up with a demon before... and he kicked me in the same place where you two got the snowballs earlier."
Several minutes later after Jennet, Jasper, and Michael had finished laughing their collective butts off, they were all friends with Grell. "N-nice going, senpai!" Jennet managed to get out in between laughing.
Maybe overtime wasn't such a bad thing after all. At least there was good company.
(A.N. I'm sooooo sorry! I've been really busy lately, so I might not be able to update every day like I used to.)
