I hurried back to the library; I slip in to William's office to tell him I finished the assignment. I then quickly rush to Grell's room. I rasp quietly on the door, he opens it and beckons me in silently. "Now then what were you so frantic about?" he said sitting on his bed.
"Well, um…How do I put this? I don't know how to say it-"
"Let me guess it's about the Undertaker? Hm? I see him watching you and often when you're out on missions Ronald and I often find him looking for you." He said smiling.
"Yes. You're right. But I don't understand, what does he want? Why doesn't he leave me alone? William received me as a present that he gave. I always feel embarrassed every time I'm around him! I feel really odd around him too! What do I do Grell?" I said almost scared sounding.
"Well where is he now?"
"Hm… Last I left him was in my room, he said he wanted to stay there until I came back."
"Ohh! That's perfect~! Does he always do the hugging?"
"Now that you mention it, yes."
"Indeed~! You need to start hugging him! That's how you should tell if he likes you, or chase him off depending on how much you do that~!"
"Are you sure that's going to work?"
"Back-up plan~! You're so smart~! Right, um… Try asking him questions, and say things that would impress him, or maybe make something for him~!"
"Uhh, okay, I'll try, I guess." I said getting up, Grell hugged me tight.
"Good luck friend! I'm counting on you!" he said his good-byes as I started to head up to my room.
I unlock my door and head in, the Undertaker sat up, seeing who I was and waved. I waved back, carefully walking to my bed to sit down by him. "Hello Undertaker."
"Pffftt! No need to be so formal! But hello! What have you been up to m' dear?" he said in a high joking voice.
"Oh just usual reaping. And you? Oh and how has your shop been?" I asked sweetly, kindness in my dark, sad, purple eyes.
"Everything is fine! I just took a nap." He said just as nice. There was a long silence. My blood was beginning to rush to my cheeks as the silence grew, but I refused to let it show so I looked down. Out of the corner of my eye I could see him frown, so I look up again. And the frown just turns into a thin line.
"Um, Undertaker?"
"Yes, m' dear?"
"um…" my cheeks were blistering red at this point, " C-can I have a hug?" I asked shyly.
He looked stunned; though I could see a little blush on his pale face he quickly rapped me in his arms. His skin tone betrays his body heat very much, he is surprisingly very warm, and his skins on his hands and face soft. Except his scars. I ended up curling up in his arms, he was smiling now, and I just closed my eyes and breathed in his scent. He smelled so good. I just wanted to stay here forever, but I just don't have time. I put my arms around his neck so I could be closer to him; I really felt the need to be comforted.
He took one of his hands and lifted my chin so he could see my eyes and make me look at him. "You really do have sad eyes. Though they do look cheerful." He smiles and let's go of my head only to put his hand on the back of it to push it into his chest.
"Everyone says my eyes are sad looking because I work too much and because I can't remember my family." I say very quiet into his chest with my eyes closed.
"Hm? How can you not remember your family?" he said quietly stroking my thick grey-almost black hair.
"My 19 other siblings are dead, and my parents as well my close cousins and aunts, uncles and grandparents. They were all murdered when I was born. My mom wasn't murdered; she died of giving birth to me." I said with a heavy sigh, beginning to take his scent in again.
"Hm… That is very sad. But you have family and people who care about you here."
"I do, and I very much so enjoy myself being with them."
"I can tell."
"What about you? You're always in that work shop alone, well at least with dead people."
"Me?... I-I don't know what to say. I love visitors, I love my work. I guess I can get lonely…" he said trailing off. There was another silence before he pulled up my head slightly. I peek one eye open as he kissed my forehead, I giggle a little and squirm a bit, just because of the thought that he kissed my forehead. He giggles a little bit too. "You are funny." He said kindly.
I smile and begin holding him tighter around his neck, only enough to hold me up so we were face to face. He carefully lets go of my waist and slips his head right by my ear and whispers, "I think you have to go. I'll be in to visit you in about an hour. I love you." He said nudging my ear with his nose and then moving his face equal to mine, kissing my nose. He puts his hands on my waist and lifts me up to set me down on the bed as he gets up to go. I don't stop him. I don't even lift a finger; I just stare at him and watch him as he leaves my room. As I hear his footsteps going down the stairs that's when I get up. I carefully run to Grell's room.
I knock on the door very quietly; I hear the "click" sound and the door swings open to reveal Grell standing there. I walk in and he shuts the door behind me. "I really need to give you a key if you're planning on visiting me all the time." Grell said. "Now then, what do you need?"
The red on my face was still there from the Undertaker, and I was so embarrassed now. "Um… I think he likes me."
"Really~? How can you tell~?" he said so focused on the subject.
"Well he said he loved me. And he also said he wanted to continue in about an hour, sooo….yeah."
"OH MY GOD~! HE REALLY DOES LIKE YOU~!" He said excitedly prancing from one foot to another before he came over to hug me, but then stopped looking curious again, "Continue what?"
"I really don't know, all we were do was hugging."
"Nehh~! Then he really does want you~! Ronald was right~!" And he quickly swept me into a quick hug and released to prance around the room. "We have to go find Ronald!" he said quickly grabbing my arm and pulling me out the door all the way to Ronald's room. I was stumbling all the way there because of Grell's speed. He knocked on the door and Ronald unlocked it.
"Oh, hi guys, what are you doing here?" Well considering I was so red in the face still and Grell was so happy, Ronald looked a little worried.
"We have to talk~! It's about Kimori-san~!" he said twirling me around.
"Fine come in." So we all entered his room and sat down here and there. I was sitting on the floor, Grell on a chair and Ronald on the bed.
"Ohh~! Ronnie~! You were right~! Undertaker does like- no love- Kimori~!"
I just sit there looking anxious.
"Really? Wow. What happened?" I ended up telling him the whole story. He was speechless, as well was Grell. I never told Grell that he kissed me on the forehead and nose.
"Um guys! I really have to be going now! Bye!" I said fleeing the room before they had anything to say. I really had to get back to my room.
