It was almost 5 when Ron stepped into Will's office, carrying a small handful of work. He handed them in and said "See ya t'morrow boss!"
Not too long afterwards, Alan and Eric came in. Alan was carrying the much bigger pile, while Eric groped his ass. They said goodnight to Will and went off to Alan's apartment.
Will's watch read 5:03, he usually stayed until 5:30, doing the work his subordinates *cough* insert Grell's name here *cough* didn't finish, or do. Will frowned, usually Grell was the first to hand in their work.
At 5:30 Will got up and put his work away. He went to see if Grell was still in his office. He opened the door and peered in, seeing Grell hunched over his desk, the lamp being the only source of light in the room. He walked towards Grell, who was so engrossed in her work that she didn't know Will had entered. He snuck up behind her and gently placed his hands on her shoulders.
She screamed and slapped Will's cheek, leaving a red hand-print on it. "Oh Will! I'm so sorry! You scared me!" "It's alright. It was my fault, I should've knocked." Grell smiled and placed a soft kiss on his cheek.
The rest of Will's face turned red, just as Grell sat back down, not noticing Will's face. He pushed up his glasses. "What are you still doing here? I thought you'd want to leave as soon as possible, to get back to your, demon." "Oh, well, I just thought I'd finish my work first…" her smile faded. "Sutcliff, is everything, alright?" "Yes!" she answered immediately. "No…" Will took Ronald's chair and sat down beside Grell. "Would you like to talk about it?" Grell nodded, but didn't say anything.
"Why don't you want to see your…demon?" he spat the last word. "All he wants is sex. Whenever I try to talk, he stops me and drags me to bed." "I thought you'd like that-" "I don't go out with a guy only because of his looks or sex! Honestly Will! What kind of woman do you think I am?" "Sorry, I-" Grell smiled at him. "Oh Will, you look so cute when you're embarrassed." Will's face turned pink. "Are you going to break up, with it?" "I suppose I should…" she bit her lower lip nervously.
Her eyes closed tightly, and she clenched her fists as tears rolled down her delicate face. Her shoulders trembled as she bent over, burying her face in her hands. She felt strong hands gently grab her shoulders and she looked up to see Will giving her a hug….wait what? Will's hugging me? She hugged him back, crying into his shoulder and dampening his jacket. He picked her up, placing one hand under her knees, the other around her shoulders and carried her to his car. "Will? What are you doing?" "Taking you to my place. You'll spend the night." "Why?" "Because you need ice cream." Grell smiled as he lay her down into the passenger seat.
