Author's Note: Wow, a pretty fast update..

I seriously am gonna try not to leave many large spaces of time between my updates, because I see a lot of great stories, but I sometimes see the chapters being posted in a time that's growing longer and longer, or in some cases just leave the fanfic unfinished. That makes me pretty sad, so here's my promise to you that I won't do that! And if I do, PM the crap out of me! Make me come back! Love you guys,reap on!

William sat up from the leather chair in his office and sighed. He grabbed his scythe to make his daily trip to Grell's home, where he would scold him for not coming in on time, and for doing half of his paper work. As William made his way down the hall, he bumped into someone and knocked them down and sending papers flying. William had been walking pretty fast, and he wasn't paying much attention to the reapers around him as he made his way down the hall. William extended his hand to the fallen reaper. "My deepest apologies..." his voice trailed off as he realized who it was. "Sutcliff." he snarled. "Clean up this mess, why do you have so many papers anyways?"

Grell looked a bit dazed as he looked up at the elder reaper. He averted eye contact with William, and quickly picked up the papers. "Sorry.." he mumbled. "This is all of the paperwork you handed me last night, I finished it all and-" Grell paused to yawn. "I came to turn it in, and go ahead and get whatever reapings I have over with already.." his voice had a slight whine to it, as he rubbed his eye.

"You..actually finished all of your work for once? You even went as far as to sacrifice sleep for it. I would say that I'm proud of you.." Grell's face lit up, loving the praise the elder was giving him. "- but it seems with lack of sleep you won't be able to do your reapings today, which means I will.." William scowled at The red head. "Really, if it's not one thing, it's another." he snatched the paper work from Grell's hands. "You're dismissed for today." he pushed by Grell, disappearing around the corner.

Grell sighed and rubbed his eyes. "Yes sir.." he said grumpily. He walked over to the secretaries office and knocked on the already open door. "Hey Lottie.." he smiled at Will's secretary, Charlotte Chilligsworth.

Charlotte smiled back and waved. "Hey Grell! You okay? You look kinda pale.."

Grell nodded. "Yes, I'm fine..Will just dismissed me for the day..do you know where Ronald might be?"

Charlotte thought for a second. "He should be home..it's his day off today..theres not always someone dying in London you know!" Lottie was always chipper, so she said everything excitedly and wore a permanent smile.

Grell smiled. "There would be if I were in charge!" He laughed at Charlotte's nervous expression, and left the dispatch. Ronald's apartment was fairly easy to find, as his apartment was the only one with a green roof. Grell walked up to the door and gave a few knocks as a fair warning, and took Ronald's spare key, and walked inside. "Ronnie dear~! Are you home?" Grell looked around the apartment, it was fairly normal. Off white walls, white tiled counters, beige couches and chairs in the living room. The only thing off was the beer bottles, you could find one on about every counter and table in the house. Grell knocked on the door to his bedroom, hearing the young blonde snore from the other side. "Wake up!" he said in a loud, demanding voice. After a minute, he heard shuffling, and the creak of the bed as Ronald lifted his weight from it.

"C'mon..." Ronald whined as he opened the door, his eyes still shut. "It's my day off.." he cracked open an eye and rubbed it. "Senapi..arent you supposed to be at work? After last night, I wouldve thought William would keep you on a tight leash today.." He was awake now, running his fingers through his hair in an attempt to fix it.

"No.." Grell smiled. "I stayed up all night and finished my work, so he dismissed me for the day, I'm free to do whatever I want, so get dressed! We're going out for a drink!" he giggled, Grell was wide awake now, and didn't plan on wasting his day off on sleep.

Ronald gave a bewildered look at the red reaper. "Uh, Grell, not to burst your bubble..but isn't it a bit early to go out drinking..?"

Grell pouted a bit. "Oh Knoxie, pleeeeaseee! Please, please, pleaase! You're going on a date tonight, and the one night of the week where we can hang out gets ruined! There won't be any time left if we don't do it now!" Grell hugged Ronald tightly, and gave him a look that closely resembled a lost, red, shark toothed puppy.

Ronald ran a frustrated hand through his hair and sighed. "Fine.." he pushed Grell off. "But we can't drink too much, like usual. I've got plans later, and if William catches you drinking while you're supposed to be asleep, then you'll be in even deeper shit."

Grell smiled bigly. "Ooh thank you Knoxie dear, you're too sweet!" He tried to hug Ronald again, but the blonde reaper shut the door quickly in his face, cutting him off. Grell huffed and sat on the couch, waiting for him to come out.

William left out of his office, and made his way out of the dispatch. Grell had drooled on one of the papers, which had messed up the ink and needed to be redone. He went to the red roofed apartment and knocked on the door loudly. "Sutcliff, I need you for a moment." He waited before knocking harder. "Sutcliff, I said get out here, you need to redo a paper, TODAY!" William waited again, still with no reply. "Fine, I'm coming in." William said calmly, as he raised his left leg, and kicked the door down with one fast move. He found the red reapers room, and opened it, only to find and empty unmade bed. William fixed his glasses. 'That door is coming out of his paycheck..' he mentally growled. William made his way to Ronald's apartment, and knocked. "Knox, is Sutcliff with you?" William, of course, got no reply. William didn't bother to knock again, and used Knox's spare key to open the door. Ronald wasn't home either. Williams brow twitched in aggravation, as be put the pieces together. "They had better not be drinking.." he growled, and stormed off twords the bar.
