Disclaimer: *goes to emo corner*
Claimer: I only own this fanfic, the chracters that I rightfully created, and the storyline/plot/whatever...
Grell's Claims: He owns Alex! (I still own her because my mind created her...)
That Shinigami, Heart Thief
Chapter XXXVII: That Shinigami, Purr~
Morning came and birds chirped a tune in unison. A pair of yellow-green fluttered open then recoiled at the bright light that shined through the windows, Grell sat up and rubbed his tired eyes. His hand wandered to the nightstand next to the bed and grabbed his red framed glasses then slipped it onto the bridge of his nose.
He stretched his arms and cracked his back, Grell then noticed the empty spot next to him. He then heard someone release a breath of relief, the crimson reaper turned his attention to the door that led to the bathroom. The door opened, Grell eyed the sight with a sly grin as he leaned forward on his elbows.
It was Alex and she is wearing a clean pair of black shorts that showed a bit of her black underwear, a black bra, and black knee-high socks. She walked into the room while drying her black hair with a red towel. Grell frowned, damn, why couldn't he wake up earlier so that he can join her in taking a bath.
Alex walked over to her wardrobe and opened the doors, she tossed the red towel onto the seat of vanity "Good morning, love~"
The young reaper turned around and smile, "Morning," She said cheerfully as she slipped into a white dress shirt with sleeves that almost covered her hands. Grell watched as his lover closed the wardrobe doors and skipped over to him, she climbed onto the bed and sat on his waist. Grell wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into a kiss. He smirked, he grabbed one of Alex's hands on slowly guided it down into the covers "Grell..." Alex pulled away and Grell stopped "I'm still exhausted from last night and my back slightly hurts."
Grell chuckled lightly, "Very well, my little kitten~ However, you'll have to get used to it~" He winked and Alex smiled wearily "You know~ you could've woken me up earlier." Grell pouted.
Alex giggled and poked the crimson reaper's forehead, "Has anyone told you that you look adorable when you're sleeping?"
"No one until now~" Grell purred as he leaned into the crook of Alex's neck and trailed his tongue up her neck. Alex panted as she lazily placed her arms on Grell's shoulders. The crimson reaper pulled away but not before placing another kiss on Alex's lips.
"Are you this energetic once you wake up?" Alex asked.
Grell giggled, "Of course~! My little kitten~" The young reaper stiffled a laugh. Alex got off of Grell's lap and continued to get ready for a new day in dispatch. Alex grabbed her black knee-high boots and sat on the edge of bed, Grell took this chance to wrap his arms around her waist and nuzzled his cheek against the top of Alex's head, "Nyan~" Alex began to laugh at Grell's now cat-like personality.
Several knocks came to the door, "Alex! Are you in there?"
Alexandria's POV (3rd person)
"Yeah!" Alex called out, she felt Grell let go of her. She turned around to face the crimson reaper and planted a quick kiss on the lips, the young reaper finished tying her boots, she grabbed a black vest from the wardrobe and quickly buttoned it up and the white dress shirt before walking over to the door. Alex opened the door to reveal Ronald with a clipboard in hand "Hey, Ronald,"
"Morning~! Ronnie~!" Grell sang as he waved to the blonde shinigami at the door, Ronald shifted his gaze from the nude reaper on the bed to Alex.
He was about to say something until Alex interrupted him, "Quit staring," She placed a hand over the blonde shinigami's eyes to prevent him from looking at Grell, "I'll see you later, Grell!" Alex called over her shoulder as Grell tried to reach for his black trousers on the floor but fell off the bed. Alex moved Ronald to the side and closed the door behind her, she looked at Ronald whose nose is now bleeding "What?"
Ronald shook his head, "N-nothing..."
Alex sighed wearily as she grabbed the clipboard from Ronald's grasp and walked down the hall "Now, before you ask, yes." Ronald remained silent as his nose continued to bleed.
The two reapers went down hallway after hallway and collected all of the paperwork from the shinigamis on the list. During the whole time, Ronald remained silent- possibly because Alex gave him a sudden answer. To finish the errand, Alex and Ronald dropped off the papers at William's office before heading to the cafeteria to relax after finishing the errand.
Alex and Ronald sat down at a table near an open window, "Hey there you two," They turned their heads to see Eric and Alan walking towards them.
"Hey, you guys." Alex greeted back with a smile. Eric took a seat on the right side of the table and Alan took a seat on the left side of the table "How are you guys?"
"We're fine," Alan replied, "You?"
Alex laughed wearily, "Well...I'm slightly exhausted and my back kind of hurts"
"Well, then, I suggest that you don't push your body to its limits." Alex, Ronald, Eric, and Alan turned their heads to see William walking towards with his death-scythe in his hands like always. Alex nodded with a smile before turning back around to face the others "Otherwise it's back to the infirmary for you," The shinigami supervisior added as he made himself a cup of hot coffee.
Alex stood up from her seat and decided to make herself a cup of coffee wake her up a bit more. The young reaper pushed up her glasses to the bridge of her nose, Alex leaned forward against the counter and took a sip of her hot coffee. Alex's eyes drifted to the untied black tie around her neck, she stood up straight and began to tie it securely around the collar of her white dress shirt.
Alex grabbed her cup of coffee and turned around only to see a familiar red head in her seat, she smiled wearily. Alex walked over to the table and placed her cup on the table before a pair of arms wrapped around her waist and pulled her sideways. Alex opened her eyes and saw Grell grinning at her, though the position that she's in is kind of awkward. Her back is on Grell's lap with her legs hanging over the armrest "Grell..." Alex whined.
Grell giggled and helped the young reaper sit up on his lap, "Hello~ my little kitten~" Alex smiled and gently poked the redhead on the forehead. Grell wrapped his arms around Alex's waist with her legs laying horizontally across his lap.
"Hey, Alex..." The black-haired reaper looked at Ronald after taking a sip of her coffee, "What's that on your neck...?" The blonde shinigami gestured to the right side of Alex's neck "It looks like a bite mark..." The young reaper blushed heavily and covered the bite mark on her neck.
"Sutcliff," William narrowed his eyes at the crimson reaper, Grell grinned sheepishly "Ms. Blackwood, if you would stand for a second."
"Um...sure..." Alex moved herself from Grell's lap and stood next to her mentor, the young reaper watched as William walked behind Grell's chair and pulled the chair out. The next thing William was face it to the left then lift the chair forward so that Grell fell flat on the ground. Alex ran her hand through her hair and sighed as William began smashing the bottom of his shoes on the crimson reaper's back.
"Will!" Grell cried in pain as the shinigami supervisior continued to stomp on his back "Stop! Stop! My back!" After every stomp that William landed on Grell's back, you can hear a loud 'crack'. William finally stopped and regained his composure, he took out a black comb from his jacket pocket and fixed his black hair so that it was neat again.
Alex grabbed her coffee and took a sip of it, she watched as William walked over to her lover's head and stomped on the back of his head. Alex cringed, 'It's always best not to get Mr. Spears angry...'
"Now then," William cleared his throat and turned back to the other reapers, "Time to get to work," With that, the shinigamis in the cafeteria walked out with their death-scythe and 'To-Die' list in hand.
Alex placed her coffee back on the table and walked over to Grell, she kneeled down next to him "Grell?"
"Help me..." Grell muffled his plea into the ground, Alex helped the crimson reaper onto his back and helped him sit up. Grell smiled at the young reaper with puffy cheeks and a busted upperlip "Um..."
Alex giggled at Grell's face, "Don't worry, Grell," She said as she hugged him "No matter how much trouble you get in and no matter how many time you get beat up by Mr. Spears, you'll always be my red cheshire~" Alex kissed Grell on the cheek.
"Little kitten and red cheshire~" Grell giggled at the names of both of them, "You certainly brighten my days, little kitten~"
A/N: And so this ends chapter 37 ^^ Hope you guys enjoyed the chapter more than I did while writing it :) And it seems like Alex has given our red reaper a nickname, "Red Cheshire" I can just squeal with delight right now because it is so damn adorable! Now that I think about it, I remembered watching Ciel in Wonderland OVA and saw Grell as the cheshire cat (Meow =^~^=) Until the next time!
Don't forget to review! Reviews make me happy!
