Hey!
So, if we're being honest, I didn't think I'd make it this far. I didn't even think I would make it to chapter 5, but writing for you guys is so much fun. It makes me so happy that I can write something that you guys enjoy.
So guys, to keep me motivated to see this story through to the very end of my pile of ideas, I have decided to play a little game. Each chapter, for ten chapters, I will state one pet peeve of mine in the author's note. Might as well start now, hm?
Pet Peeve #1 - When people tell me they know what I'm thinking or how I feel. That drives me fucking nuts. c:
Chapter 14! Enjoy.
K-Y-L-EH-E WILLIAM
We arrived at Sebastian's house in a short time. I carried Grell inside, who had long since fallen asleep. As we walked through the house, I took in the appearance. Everything seemed rather feminine, but also very regal. It looked nice.
"It's good we found him when we did." Sebastian put his arm around Elizabeth as he spoke. "Only God knows what he would have done to Grell if we hadn't found him." I frowned deeply at the words, looking down at the sleeping face of my lover.
"Sebastian, stop it. That thought upsets William and I." Sebastian apologized quickly and stopped in front of a door. He opened it, and the room inside was colored a bit darker than the rest, in mostly reds, but still happy and feminine.
"This is Grell's room for whenever he comes to visit. You two can rest in here." He turned, guiding Elizabeth away from the room. They disappeared down the long hallway, probably into a bedroom nearby.
I carried Grell inside, shutting the door behind me, and placing him gently on the bed. I laid next to him, holding him close to my chest. I stroked his hair, closing my eyes. "I'm so sorry, Grell. I will never let anything like this happen to you again. If I could lock you in a tower and keep you safe, keep you all for myself, I would. I can only pray that you won't ever leave me or become bored of me. I love you, and I swear I will keep you safe any way I can."
He was suddenly shaking against my chest, small giggles leaving his perfect mouth. "How corny. I love you, too, William." I blushed, embarrassed that he had heard all of that. He cuddled into me further, humming softly.
"William... I have a question. How opposed would you be to... Adopting... A few years down the road?" The question caught me off guard, and I had to think about it for a minute to actually realize what he had just asked me.
"Well of course I would love children, but a few years? Isn't that a little long to wait?" I grinned as his face lit up and he grinned, kissing me chastely on the lips.
"Oh, Will! How about a boy and a girl? The boy has to be older, though, so he can protect his sweet little sister! When can we do it, William!?" He was nearly bouncing in place, and I chuckled at him.
"Calm down. We should wait at least another year before we adopt children. It's also a very long process, so be prepared." He calmed slightly, but was still beaming up at me. I snorted softly. "Go to sleep. We'll talk more in the morning."
He nodded, closing his eyes. "You should sleep, too." I nodded and pulled him closer, resting my cheek against his hair. I closed my eyes, letting sleep overtake me.
K-Y-L-EH-E GRELL
I woke, my lower back still throbbing slightly. William was already awake, smiling down at me. "Good morning, Sweetheart. Why don't we take a bath?" I nodded, yawning and stretching. He stood and disappeared into the bathroom. I followed him, using the toothbrush I had here to brush my teeth.
I could hear the bath going, which was very large. Sebastian and Lizzie had designed the house with me in mind, having made two master bedrooms. One for them, one for me. Both bedrooms had their own large bathrooms, which were almost identical. I smiled at the thought of how close I was to the two.
I rinsed my mouth and put everything away, heading a little deeper into the bathroom to find William undressing as the bath filled. He smiled at me as his pants dropped to the ground. My blood rushed to my head.
"You weren't wearing any underwear!?" I covered my face, which was most likely as red as my hair. I heard him chuckle, and I peeked through my fingers.
"Come on. Out of your clothes." He walked toward me in all his naked glory, and how glorious it was. The man was built like a damn statue, all too perfect to be human. I was damn lucky.
He stood before me, carefully undressing me. When I was naked, he turned off the faucet and helped me into the large tub. I sighed as the warm water instantly soothed my muscles. When I was seated, he got in and shifted us until He sat behind me, my back resting comfortably against his chest.
"Thank you so much, Will. You're so sweet." I saw him blush lightly, and he coughed. I laughed at him, and reached up. "You didn't take your glasses off." I slipped them off of his face, setting them aside where they wouldn't get broken or lost.
He smiled. "Thank you." His arms circled around me, holding me securely. I leaned my head back against his shoulder, closing my eyes. He began rubbing slow circles into my stomach, and I relaxed further. "He didn't hurt you very bad, did he?"
"No. Although he wasn't gentle, there wasn't much damage. I bled some, but it's alright." I felt him tense behind me, and I frowned. "Relax. I'm fine. Please enjoy the bath with me." He relaxed slowly, sighed and whispering an apology in my ear.
"I love you, William." He relaxed completely, and I grinned. Victory. He rest his chin on my shoulder and I turned my head to kiss his cheek and nuzzle it with my nose.
"I love you, too. I will always love you." I snorted. He was being corny again. He was so cute sometimes.
