I nod writing that at the top of the paper and the colour of his eyes as well. I get the coloured pencils out and try matching the blues so I get it right. His eyes are a soft blue near his pupil and go to a deeper blue around the edge of the iris. His eyes are like staring into a beautiful glacier cave as the sun hits the ice. I set those colours aside and begin the basic sketch.

I have him stand in front of me so I can get his body built and for him to stand in a pose he's ok with holding. He had rather form-fitting clothes so getting the body proportions right was easy. I get the front and a back view so I can get the back view of my idea. When I get his body shape down I begin to draw the clothes so I tell him he doesn't have to stand there anymore.

He sits down right next to me watching me work. I would go with a basic black suit so the colour would pop better, giving him a normal suit and tie feel. The coat on the other hand is form fitting to his torso before flowing out around the waist to the bottom as it nearly touches floor length so it flows when he walks.

"Don't you have work to do right now?" I ask.

"I finished early and I wanna watch this. It's cool to watch you draw," He said with a smile.

I make the bottom of the coat torn and with holes giving a worn look. I give the jacket a large hood to add that creepy grim reaper feel. I also added a gun holster on his hip/thigh as I guess he would use guns a lot. The vest of the suit would have skeleton bones embroidered to make it look like it has ribs wrapped around it. I even added a spin down the back for when he had the jacket off. I add a tophat as undertakers are known for wearing them. I gave the hat a creepy skull with fangs and crossbones.

I put a little chain around the base of the hat and had a piece dangle off with a charm of a coffin. I feel Griffin rest his head on my shoulder and nuzzle in close. I give the jacket a similar chain that loosely goes around and under the arm of one shoulder. I work on a cane next, this would double as the grim reaper scythe. I draw the cane looking like a human skull and spinning and within the cane is the blade. With a flick of his wrist that would extend the blade and make it go back, there would be a hidden button.

I go back to the jacket adding that blue going from the dark blue at the bottom to light blue. I give the jacket embroidered flames that have hidden faces inside it. The faces would be representing the souls he reaps. I ask what their gang logo looks like so he stands up. He pulled his shirt out of his pants and lifted it while pulling his waistband down. I cover my eyes thinking he's about to strip naked.

"What, look it's on my hip silly. But if you wanna see me naked you just have to ask." He said cheekily.

"A warning next time, damn it, Griffin," I uncover my face looking at the tattoo that is very close to his v-line. I do notice he has plenty of tattoos hiding underneath his shirt.

"Well guess I should knock before entering a room when you two are alone together." Jaxon's voice fills the room.

I scream not even hearing him enter the room. I grab a pillow and throw it at him wanting him to sh*t up he has done this non-stop teasing since Christmas. They just laugh at me so I go back to work drawing that logo onto the back of the jacket. It was two reaper scythes crossed with a human skull surrounded by blue flames.

There was also a bullet sitting between the teeth of the skull. I make sure to get the details when done. I say he can pull his pants back up. But nope he slowly pulls them further down so I grab a pillow and hide my face.

"STOP IT NOW GRIFFIN." I curl up into a ball embarrassed he's doing this.

I feel the couch shift guessing he sat back down but it shifts again. I look at Jaxon sitting on the other side of me.

"You both are dicks with this shit," I go over adding any more details that come to mind that I think would look cool.

"There it is done, what do you think?" I pass Griffin the book even though he watched the entire process of me doing this he looks at it shocked.
