Shinigami Marching Band (Black Butler)

Chapter Nineteen~ Dark Nights

I have returned, more than ready to continue making hell out of innocent character lives. I'm kidding! But honestly I never initially planned for this story to become that intense. Sorry guys. Whelp! ON TO THE STORY~

The rest of the week was fairly calm. William and Grell had plans to burn the Sebastian doll on Friday night and then a lunch date on Saturday where they would be doubling with Ronald and Adrian. Ron of course was going to be the one driving because they all agreed they liked his vehicle the best. To which he replied "It's not my fault my parents spoil me." And they all laughed a bit after a side comment from Adrian saying that they weren't the only ones that could spoil him. 

Friday night turned out to be the perfect time to burn the doll considering that there was no wind and there was the eerie sense of something sinister in the air that night. Grell thought it was delightfully spooky where as William almost wanted the whole event to be done and over with. They went into the woods to their usual camping spot, not too far from Grell's house, and found their bonfire pit was still intact. They gathered plenty of twigs and sticks and started the fire up as if they were indeed going camping. It was probably about 8p.m. when the fire was finally going strong. That's when Grell pulled the Sebastian doll out of his bag and smirked over at William. The light from the fire dancing across the redhead's face paired with the sinister smile made William want to run far away from the woods and the whole situation but instead he just smiled nervously and faced the fire again. 

"Do you want to drop him in or should I?" Grell asked, knowing full well how much William disliked the man that the doll resembled. 

"You created it so I think you should burn it." Will said quickly. Initially he was all for the burning of the doll but the atmosphere had him on edge. He never really did well with enjoying things when the occult aura was about. For the most part he just became serious and did whatever he was supposed to or had to in order to get away from the place as soon as possible. 

Grell nodded and was already dangling the doll over the flames. Right as he was about to drop it a twig snapped and a camera flashed. Grell dropped the doll and whipped his head around to try and see who the hell was out here taking pictures. He couldn't see anything more than a black form darting away into the night so he had no way of figuring out who it had been. 

"What was that about?" William asked. Grell shrugged, having no clue either. 

"At least the doll is gone now." Grell retorted happily. "Should we put the fire out or wait for it to die?" 

"I say put it out and go home. It's cold and eerie out here." 

"Awww, is my Will darling scared? You can hold onto me if you want to~" Grell purred. 

"I'm not scared. It's really alright. I just don't like being out here on a night like this."

"A night like what? A night where it's just you and me out in the woods?" Grell asked while wiggling his eyebrows suggestively and then chuckling to let Will know he was only kidding. 

"N-No that's not what I meant!" William replied defensively while turning a bit pink in the cheeks.

"It's alright if you don't want to be here any longer then we can leave. We just have to put the fire out first." Grell grinned.

So with that they put out the fire and began to walk back to Grell's house making sure to keep close to each other so one of them wouldn't step on a twig or something and frighten the other. Once they got there they decided to hang out for just a bit longer before William would have to drive himself home.

They had planned on watching a movie in the living room but it seemed that Grell's parents had a different idea. The two had started a rather loud drinking game in the kitchen and Will and Grell couldn't even decide on a movie before they got tired of hearing the drunken shouts.
