The next few days past by quickly for the redhead, whom mostly stared out of his hospital window, watching the other reapers carry on with their duties. He hadn't seen William since that day and he doubted he really wanted to see him either. He did what was expected of him, doing what the doctors had told him to and signing where he needed to in order to get out of there as soon as he could. He glanced over to the door when he had heard a knock then watched as the doctor monitoring him came in.
"How are you doing today, Grell? You should be able to go home today." He said, looking at the other on the bed.
Grell sighed and looked away for a moment, blinking to try clearing his vision and his mind from the painkillers. "Almost as they way I did when I first got here, except with my head in the damn clouds." He muttered when he looked back at the doctor.
"No need to be like that. I'm here to check on your injury and give you some painkillers to take home with you." He replied, walking over to the bed and helping the reaper to sit up, ignoring the slight wince from the redhead. He quickly examined him then nodded before getting a clipboard with a sheet of paper. "Sign this and you'll be on your way." He said, handing Grell the clipboard and pen before pulling out another pen and prescription pad, writing one out and passing it to him.
Grell looked down at the papers he had been given then signed where it instructed then passed it back to the doctor. "Any more rules I need to follow?" He asked as he took the prescription and looked at it.
"Nothing outside of taking it easy for the time being. I've already sent a note out to your supervisor stating you'll be back to work next week, giving you a week to rest and recuperate yourself." He said, looking at the redhead.
"Bet he was happy to hear that, now wasn't he?" He asked with a soft laugh as he got off the bed with help from the doctor then looked for his clothes. He went in the bathroom and put them on before coming back out. "See you later, but hopefully not too soon." He said then left the room carefully, heading to the pharmacy to get his medication then left the hospital all together.
After he had gone, he went to his home and took care of a few things before lying down. He'd been thinking about what to do now and decided that he would go after those that harmed him, in this case, it was Sebastian, but first, he wanted to get some actual rest and hope that no one came looking for him, though he knew William wouldn't. He was too obsessed with work. He shook his head as he thought about the other Shinigami as he ran a hand through his crimson locks before laying back on the bed and looked up at the ceiling, eventually taking off his glasses and setting them on the bedside table before closing his eyes and finding himself drift to sleep once more, the effects of the painkiller still in him.
A couple of hours later, he woke to the sound of knocking on his front door. He sat up wincing a bit as he rubbed his eyes then got off the bed and put his glasses on once more before going out to find out who was at his door at that hour.
Upon opening his door, he blinked then stared at the male that now stood there. "William? I can say that I'm quite surprised by your visit." He said simply, keeping his gaze on the other. He was curious about why his supervisor was there.
"I came to see how you were after you got released from the hospital today. I trust you are doing what you should be and what the doctor told you to?" He asked, adjusting his glasses slightly as he kept his gaze level with the other.
Grell chuckled lightly. "Yeah, I'm doing all that, and I was resting until you came here." He replied with a shrug as he leaned against the wall near the door.
"I also understand that you will not be working for a few weeks, or so the doctors informed me this morning. We will be understaffed, but, that makes no difference since we're always understaffed. It'd be like usual when you slack off, except you won't be there to slack off."
He shook his head, rolling his eyes as he crossed his arms. "Yeah, I'm forced to take time off; I'd rather be doing my damn job." He muttered then gave a slight smirk. "Perhaps I can use this time for something else."
"What do you mean by that? What else could you be doing with your time off, Sutcliff?"
Grell looked at him with a dark look in his two tone green eyes. "I can go demon hunting and get them back for what they did to me. It's not like anyone would do it for me, so I have to do it myself."
"You can't be serious."
"When have I not been serious about that sort of thing? After all, you worry too much about work to even bother doing anything to help me. I'll do it all myself."
William shook his head. "No, you'll get yourself killed."
"Since when have you cared about me living? I always thought you'd prefer me dead and out of your hair." He snorted then left to go in further to his house, not caring or paying attention to whether the other had followed or not.
