William POV

"The suit will be ruined if we take him there…"

"Oh, calm down William, he's only … well, technically a few weeks old, but already looks 5… he'll be fine!" Grell giggles at me from where he lounges on my couch. I shake my head and continue to button up Xavier's jacket. Xavier wore a purple dress shirt, and everything else black, including a tie. The tie was abnormally huge… because it was mine. Xavier had put up quite a fuss just to wear a tie, and after much debate, he will now be wearing it. Doing up the last few buttons, I turn to get my own jacket that was laying folded next to Grell.

"Still, it might be un-becoming…."

"Willy, darling, you are so stiff. Be right back, I want to make sure my makeup looks alright enough for public viewing…" Grell jumps up and runs into the hallway, his boots clicking on the wooden floors. I roll my eyes, then turn to look back at Xavier. He holds the tie lovingly, satisfied with himself. He should be; not only has he succeeded in getting a tie, but he has managed to convince us to take him to a restaurant that makes pizza. He wanted us all to go. A 'family' thing, he called it. Apparently, he wanted one like all the other kids that he seen outside had. A nice, perfect family….

I shake my head. We were probably anything but a family… I head to the front door to wait for Grell. Seconds later, the boy's little pattering steps on the floor can be heard, following me. Tilting my head back a bit, I close my eyes and pinch the bridge of my nose. Because I watch this kid a lot, I've been so behind in paper work. All I want to do is go to the office to work on it… but obviously, that was not happening. As I stand there, a warm hand grasps mine.

"Daddy, are you alwright? You look slweepy and upset…." I look down to see Xavier holding onto my hand, the large eyes staring up at me. I smile and lean down to brush some of the bangs out of his face.

"I'm fine, Xavier. I'm just…." I paused. I wasn't totally sure how I was at the moment.

"Are you mad? Don't you like me? If you don't… isn't the opposite of love hate? Does that mean you hate me?" Xavier blinks, looking slightly confused and worried as he asks the question. I stare surprised, wondering where these ideas came from.

"Why would I be mad? And I like you… I could never hate you, Xavier." I smile comfortingly. "Why are you asking?"

"Cause I don't want to be alone." He pouts a bit, and I continue to stare.

"Why on Earth would you ever be alone? I mean, we'd never leave-"

"Are you sure?" His lower lip sticks out, trembling a bit, and with another sigh I pull him into a hug.

"I'm completely sure. You have two people who love you very, very much. And if anything were to ever happen to us, there are so many other people we could trust… and they'd fall in love with you right away. Besides, Grell and I aren't going anywhere for the foreseeable future." I move back to hold his shoulders. "Alright? We'll always be with you."

"Yes, daddy." He nods quickly, and I feel slightly relieved. Then, he suddenly grins big. "Can we get ice-cream after?"

"We can get whatever you want." I stand, and right then Grell comes bounding down the stairs.

"Well, are my two daaaaarlings ready to have fun?" He smiles while jumping up and down a bit, meanwhile I stare. He has chosen a black skirt and red blouse to go with his signature red jacket. I blank out, a small part of me wanting to object, when Xavier pipes up.

"You look so bootiful mommy!" I turn to glance at him again, surprised at the 'mommy' part, and Grell just gushes.

"Awwe, thanks doll! And you are just so handsome yourself." He pulls him into a hug while smothering his cheek in a kiss, leaving a large red spot. Xavier giggles and squirms, trying to get away, and I look at my watch.

"You know, if you guys really still want to get to that thing, we need to leave…. well, now. It closes in a bit." I open the door and wait, and Grell bounces out the open door. Xavier takes his small steps in order to stand next to me, choosing to hold my hand. With that, I close the door behind me as I leave.

"Hehe, I want moooore!" Xavier swings his legs under the table happily as I wipe some sauce off his place. I had managed to find a very fancy place, and Xavier was delighted.

"Hold on, you don't want to make yourself sick…" I place the napkin back down and look at Grell. For calling himself a 'lady', the death god can sure eat a lot. He has already swallowed… well, more like inhaled 5 large pieces of pizza as well as a chicken leg, and is halfway through his sixth pizza slice. He pauses when he's about to take a bite to stare back at me.

"What? I'm hungry. There's practically no food at your place." He continues to finish off the piece, and I raise an eyebrow.

"There would be more food if you didn't eat it all. And went to your own home once in a while….." I stare bluntly, and Xavier giggles as he watches Grell pop the last bite into his mouth. With that, Grell leans forwards.

"Well, you barely eat at all anyways. I swear you are going to get anorexic…" Grell pokes me from across the table, and I lean back away from him.

"I eat a decent amount. You and I just have a difference in opinion, as usual." I cross my arms, and now Xavier pokes me, prompting me to glance at him. "What is it Xavier?" He merely answers with a giggle, and Grell pokes me again.

"Perhaps we don't agree on everything."

"Obviously." I pick up a glass of wine and drink slowly, looking around the restaurant. It is fancy, gold and red décor. Booths, like ours, near the window to stare out into the streets. Waiters in black and white walking around. A violin plays some music at the moment, for most of the band that had been playing earlier was now enjoying their break. I look around, noticing all the other people sitting in their seats, and others on a large dance floor. Most dressed fancily. I dote on how simple and frail they all seem, when Grell tugs at me hand.

"You know, William, when out with a woman, one would normally ask said woman to dance." He smiles and tilts his head to the side, and I scoff a bit. Xavier then bounces in his seat excitedly.

"Mommy and daddy sitting in a tree! K-I-S-S-…..I-G-T!" He giggles, and I roll my eyes.

"And I kindly refuse." I go back to people-watching, and Xavier pouts.

"You have to, daddy! I... I dare you!" He giggles some more, while I respond with a sigh. Grell jumps up.

"Come on, William just once?" I stare between the two, both equally pouting. So, of course, I give in.

"Just once…." I stand up, taking Grell's hand and leading him out to the dance floor. Our shoes squeak slightly on the clear floors, the gold and white marble tiles smooth, clean to the point where you can see our reflections. I turn to Grell and keep holding his hand with my left, and use my right to hold him by his waist, tugging him closer. His eyes go slightly large with surprised, and he clings to me. He is surprisingly calm… I thought he'd be freaking a bit with excitement.

"Huh… I wasn't totally sure that you could dance. Glad to see you can." Grell smirks up and me, and I tilt my head. He finally gets a dance with me, and chooses to tease me? Then again, he always teases….

"You know me…." I bite my lip, trying to endure this. I look over his shoulder to watch the rest of the band members join the violinist, and they move into a slow melody. I smile at the tune, swaying a bit, and Grell follows my lead. He chooses to lean his head on my shoulder, humming along with the tune. Inhaling slowly, I catch Grell's scent. Smooth and fresh… like roses. I grin to myself for no particular reason, not even bothering to question it. Grell laughs a bit.

"Why now, of all times, do you change?" Grell muses quietly, his voice slightly purring in my ear. Good question, I think to myself. Why now? I dance quietly, wondering how to answer.

"Because… I simply did. And I'm still the same William… that is really annoyed with all the work I'm going to have to face tomorrow…" I frown to myself while Grell chuckles in my ear.

"Of course you are…." He nuzzles my neck slightly, and I continue to glide across the floor with him. I was… content. I had been feeling annoyed, but I was happy with myself. Grinning, I lean into his ear, singing softly.

"There's such a sad love, deep in your eyes, a kind of pale jewel. Open and closed within your eyes… I'll place the sky... within your eyes." I smile some more, and Grell laughs quietly back, not protesting, so I continue. "There's such a fooled heart, beating so fast in search of new dreams. A love that will last within your heart… I'll place the moon… within your heart." I step back to spin him before pulling him close. He giggles girlishly, and lets me lead once again.

I close my eyes, enjoying the moment as Xavier sits in his seat, watching and giggling giddily. The small boy seemed happy with his family… family? Was that what we were now, though it hadn't' been intentional? And if we were… was it really a bad thing?

William, indeed, why now have you changed?

*bows* Thank you readers! I hoped you enjoyed this… hehe… and can anyone guess the song William was singing, hmm...? Well until next time!
