William sat still and gripped his whiskey glass tightly as he absorbed the information the black clad man had just fed him.
"You're sure of what you saw?" He knew his silver haired manservant would not lie to him but a small part of him was hoping it was all one big misunderstanding.
"Sure as can be sir." Undertaker tried not to grin. "She wandered off with that vagabond and looked pretty happy about it."
Undertaker ducked as William threw his glass at the wall and giggled as he watched the crystal shatter the liquid stain the carpet. He loved seeing his employer lose his cool. He was such an uptight man after all.
"I'm going to…" William sneered and took a deep breath before bending down to rummage through one of the drawers. He pulled out a pistol and loaded it with bullets before stashing it in his jacket. He glared at Undertaker dangerously before speaking. "Look for them. When you them, bring her to me. I don't care what you do with him."
Undertaker nodded and bowed as he left the room, still laughing to himself. William sat back down with a sigh and opened his top drawer. He pulled out a velvet box and opened it, taking out a silver necklace with a heart shaped pendant. Sat in the middle of the heart was a ruby, also heart shaped. William stared at it for a moment before placing it in his pocket and pouring himself another glass of whiskey.
"Will you sit down and stop fretting!" Eric snapped his book closed and looked over to where Alan was pacing. "He's a big boy, he can look after himself."
"I know that." The brunette snapped and chewed his lip. "But what was he thinking? Getting involved with a high class filly?"
"Who's to say they're doing anything?" Eric sat up and placed his book on the bench as Alan looked over towards him with an exasperated look.
"It's Ronald. I saw the way he was looking at her last night. He's going to try something, I just know it." The younger man sat down, feeling his chest tighten with worry. "I saw her engagement ring."
"Alan." Eric quickly moved to kneel beside him, concern in his eyes. "It'll be fine love. Ronald's not that stupid and if she's got any brains she'll reject his advances. Don't get yourself worked up."
Alan sighed and looked at Eric, taking deep, steady breaths. "You're right. I just can't help but worry about him."
"I know." Eric took one of Alan's hands in his own and rubbed the brunette's back in a soothing manner with the other. "But I don't want you making yourself ill over this. I know Ronald wouldn't either."
Alan smiled and glanced around their surroundings before kissing Eric's forehead. He stood up pulling the blonde up with him. "Come with me while I go for a lie down?"
"How can I refuse you?" Eric laughed softly and followed Alan back towards their room.
"You know where you're going now?" Grell teased Ronald about his lack direction as they leisurely made their way towards the second-class corridors after a good hour of exploring the vessel.
"Hey, cut me a break. I've only been on this ship for like a day." He laughed and poked Grell in the ribs. "I think we've done alright considering."
"Ow. You can't treat a lady like that." Grell retaliated by shoving blonde, resulting in a small scuffle between the two. Ronald ended up pinning Grell to the wall claiming his lips in a passionate kiss.
"I win." He whispered softly before resuming the kiss. Grell attempted to free his wrists but Ronald only tightened his grip, shifting his arms so both wrists could be held in one hand. Ronald trailed his spare hand down the red head's side, eliciting a moan from him. The pair remained this way for several minutes, caught up in each other's taste and touch until a cough caused them to break apart. Ronald broke the kiss and looked over irritably at the person that had interrupted them. "Yes?"
"Undertaker!" Grell cried out in surprise and quickly shoved Ronald away him.
"My my Miss Grell. Master William won't be happy about this, will he?" The black clad man ignored Ronald and stepped forward, invading Grell's personal space and grasped one of his wrists. "We'd better go see him hadn't we?"
Grell struggled against Undertaker's grip, pulling away from him. "N-no! Leave me alone!"
"Hey!" Ronald stepped forward and grabbed the silver haired man's arm in a tight grip. "Let go of her."
Undertaker grinned and let go Grell's arm, shaking off the Ronald's hold before looking towards the blonde. "I'm under orders to return my master's beloved fiancée to him."
"I don't care. You don't treat a lady like that!" Ronald stepped between them, blocking the red head from Undertaker's view.
"Ronald please…" Grell tugged at the blonde's sleeve and whispered in his ear. "Run when I say."
Grell pushed Ronald out the way and looked up at the black clad manservant, a smile on his face. "You're right Undertaker. Let's go back to William."
"A wise choice milady." The pair turned around and walked about ten steps before Grell suddenly stopped and kneed the other man in his crotch pushing him over and running towards Ronald shouting and laughing.
"Run now!" Ronald stared for a moment before coming to his senses and running after Grell and looked back and saw Undertaker chasing them. "He's chasing us!"
"This way!" Grell pulled him into an elevator and slammed the gate shut. Ignoring the attendant he pulled the lever down as far as it would go. The elevator started going down as they saw Undertaker reach them, looking down on the trio smiling.
"There's only so many places you can hide on a ship!" He laughed at them as Grell smirked and flipped him off. "Bye!"
They jumped out when the elevator came to a stop and carried on running with no destination in mind.
"Where are we going?" Ronald shouted. The noise in the passageway was deafening, he had a feeling they were next to the engines.
"I don't know!" Grell rounded a corner and started climbing down the nearest ladder, motioning Ronald to follow him. He jumped down and found himself surrounded by workers and furnaces. Ronald jumped down next to him and yelled into his ear.
"And you say I have so sense of direction!"
"Oi!" A voice nearby shouted at them as they carried on running. "Oi! It's dangerous!"
They ran past the workers and fires, ignoring the calls and shouts until they found another ladder and quickly climbed it. They found themselves in another corridor and took a moment to enjoy the cool air and catch their breath.
"I'm impressed how you handled that guy Grell." Ronald grinned and held the red head's hand.
"A lady needs to know how to defend herself." He laughed and gripped Ronald's hand in return and pulled him along the corridor. "C'mon, I know where we are now."
"Hmm?"
Grell said nothing more as he led the blonde down the long passageway until they came across the door Grell was looking for. They walked through and found themselves in large spacious, warehouse like room filled with vehicles and stacks upon stacks of wooden crates.
"The cargo hold?" Ronald looked sceptically at Grell, wondering if the red head got confused and brought them to the wrong place "Why on earth are we here?"
"I figured this'd be a good a good place to place to hide for now." Grell grinned at the blonde and excitedly ran over to one of the cars. He stood by the door and coughed, looking at Ronald with his arms folded.
"Oh right." Ronald cottoned on and dashed over, opening the door for the red head and gesturing him inside. "Milady."
"Why thank you." Grell giggled and climbed into the cab as Ronald shut the door. He climbed into the front and tooted the horn, putting both his hands on the large steering wheel. He put on a mock posh accent and looked back at the red head, smiling.
"Where to madam?"
Grell laughed again and pushed down the window to lean out and wrap his arms around Ronald. He leaned his head forward and whispered into the blonde's ear. "To the stars."
Grell pulled at Ronald's arms impatiently and started to drag him through the window. Ronald climbed the rest of the way in and positioned himself so he was lying on top of the red head. He brushed away red hair and looked down, his breath catching in his throat as studied Grell's face and eyes. He leaned in and kissed him gently, letting his hand travel down the red head's side to rest on his exposed thigh. Grell wrapped his arms around the blonde's neck, keeping him in place and deepening the kiss. He let Ronald control the kiss and arched his body into his sinful touch.
"Ronald…" Grell whined softly against Ronald's lips before tracing his kisses along the blonde's jaw line towards his ear. He bit the lobe gently before whispering softly. "Take me."
