A/N: So, I hope you guys know that I love Grell and William with all my heart. I'm sorry if this chapter upsets you, I sincerely apologize in advance. This chapter includes the song "Brave Song", it is the ending song to the Angel Beats anime. The lyrics will be in italics.

I have always walked alone. When I looked back, everyone was faraway

Even so, I kept walking. That was mystrength

"I'm not afraid of anything anymore" I muttered to myself

Everyone will be alone someday, living on in memories only

I fight so that I will be able to love and laugh despite of the loneliness

I won't show my tears.

Grell looked around the room and toyed with the weapon. Experimentally, he put it in his mouth, then on his head, then to his temple. The gun was loaded, ready to end a life. He looked at it and sighed. "Jack, do we really have to do this?" he questioned, now unsure of his decision.

Jack spoke softly. "Darling,if there were any other way, I'd take it. But, if this vessel remains trapping our souls until they merge, both of us will cease to exist and the soul made out of ours would be a monster. What if it decided to hurt Undertaker, or Ronald? We need to destroy this vessel so we can finally be free."

I have always walked alone. The cliff was waiting for me ahead

Even so, I kept walking, to prove my strength

The strong wind blew against me. My shirt stuck to me with sweat

If I can forget everything one day, being alive will be so easy

If I fall into the other side of oblivion, that means I am running away

Even the meaning of having lived will disappear

Grell's body shook as he sobbed. He could see the pond, it was stained red. This was the final act, the curtain would fall here. If Grell didn't do this, his soul would be lost forever and he wouldn't be able to reincarnate. Grell pressed the gun to his head and let out a sigh. No, he didn't want to do this, but it had to be done.

The wind had soon calmed down. My sweat had also dried out

I became hungry. What was that?

A nice smell came together with lively voices.

William looked down at the paperwork and ran his fingers through his hair. He couldn't do this anymore. He tried so hard to make Grell love him again, but instead only drove the red reaper away. He caused so much pain between Grell and Undertaker, it wasn't right.

"Ill go apologize, I'll make things right."

William put on a jacket and walked out of the dispatch. He furrowed his brows. Something was off about tonight. The air seemed worried in a way, and it made William walk at a faster pace. It didn't take long before he began to run to the red heads home, half afraid of getting there.

Grell placed the gun to his head and applied a small amount of pressure to the trigger.

I have always walked alone. Everyone was waiting..

Grell took one last breath and squeezed his finger hard over the trigger.

BANG

William stopped when he heard the sound.

"What the hell?"

He continued on until he was at Grell's home. "Grell, I talk to you..open up, please." He pleaded, a horrible feeling overwhelming his heart. "Grell, please, I want to apologize for everything..Im so sorry for what I've done.." He tried to open the door, but it was locked. William took the spare key and unlocked the door. It felt wrong inside of the house. If you could feel colors, you would know that Red was absent in the home.

Everyone will be alone someday, living on in memories only

Even so, it's fine. I call this peaceful feeling my friend

Someday I will be living somewhere, with the memories of days spent with everyone left behind

At that time I won't be strong anymore

I will just be sobbing like a weak ordinary girl

William swallowed. "G-Grell?" He lit a candle and used it to find his way to the red Shinigami's room. He opened the door, and his heart stopped. "Grell...?"

Blood covered the wall and floor. The smell of gun smoke and death filled the room as he covered his nose, tears springing to his eyes. William fell to his knees and allowed a weak sob to pass through his lips as he looked at the corpse. The red head was slumped over, gun still in his hand. William crawled over to him and quickly took out his scythe and collected the soul, no, souls. William sealed them away, not wanting to look at Grell's cinematic records just yet. William took Grell in his arms and wept silently.

"Hey Senpai, I heard a gun go off, did you hear it too? Why's your door open, it's fucking cold in.." Ronald Knox appeared in the door as he looked at William and Grell's corpse. "Boss...what did you..?"

Williams eyes widened. "No, I found him like this! He was dead when I arrived, I swear!" William clutched the body closer. "Go get Undertaker..we have a funeral to prepare for.." he said softly as he moved Grell's hair out of his face.

Ronald stood in shock at the sight of his best friends suicide. The green spark in his eyes faded as tears spilled over his cheeks. He quickly turned and ran to fetch the mortician, small sobs escaping his lips along the way.

William didn't know how long he had been there, cradling the dead body. He wasn't even aware when Undertaker had came. When William snapped back to reality, he saw Undertaker clutching Grell tightly to his chest, sobbing heavily and calling out his name.

"I love you, my darling rose.." He showered Grell's cold face with kisses. "I love you so so much.." He cradled Grell's head into his chest as he rocked him back and forth. He stood up, carrying the corpse bridal style and created a portal to his shop. He disappeared in it with Grell's body.

William looked over at Ronald, who looked just about as dead as Grell was. "He's gone.." he whispered to himself, as if trying to make it seem more realistic. He hadn't ever thought of his Senapi's death, and had never wanted to. Now that it had happened, it seemed the world had turned monochrome. Ronald turned and walked out, unable to shed anymore tears.

William looked at the bloodstained wall, and almost didn't believe it himself. No, he had to believe it, he was with the corpse. William looked at the wall, as if pleading for the return of his darling red reaper.

"Grell Sutcliff...is dead." He said to himself, fresh tears running down his face.

A/N: Sorry if this wasn't sad enough. Oh well, two chapters left.
