Hi guys! I'm back!
I actually really like this one so I hope you do too.
Because:
"Oi you! I found you again! I want to finish our fight."
The Undertaker ducked as Grell launched herself at him, he was too close to his goal to be distracted now but if he killed this reaper he'd bring the whole division down on his head.
Again.
And he didn't want to, to be perfectly frank. There were so few in this world capable of smiling so easily, it would be a shame to lose this one.
He couldn't resist poking Grell in the side after she landed heavily. "Nice try, but I could use a good laugh, why don't you drop by again some time?!" He laughed uproariously at his own joke.
Grell huffed a sigh, brushing a piece of hair out of her eyes, "I hate you."
The next time, she was more civil, waiting silently in the back of the new shop while he helped a customer (a live one!).
"Did you want something?" He asked with the cheer he had gotten so good at projecting he almost believed it himself.
Unlike him, Grell had let her veneer of joviality slip and was more serious than he'd ever seen her except for when he'd first revealed himself as a reaper, "to understand," she answered flatly, "but we don't always get everything we want."
"Ooh, perceptive and pretty, I like it," he crowed, making her smirk. She didn't leave with any further understanding but he did nothing to dissuade her from coming back.
The time after that, she just wanted to get away from work. They talked, not about reapers, or demons, or earls, not about what they'd done to become reapers or why he'd left. She told him what she liked and what she didn't, he made her laugh with stories of funny customers.
When she told him of his intentions to return he found himself looking forward to it.
After that, she smiled readily for him.
After that he missed her when she was gone.
After that she let him into her heart.
After that he became her world.
After that, as they lay together he laughed as it occurred to him that she no longer had a viable reason for visiting, she just wanted to be with him.
As Grell rested her head on his chest and put her hand over his silent heart he closed his fingers around hers and thought his 'life' couldn't be any better than this.
Done! Hope you enjoyed! See you tomorrow! And if you have a pairing you want me to write about, let me know.
