"ew"

"I'm William T.Spears-"

"yeah yeah- administrator of the grim reaper staffing association- No one gives a shit. Just take her and go- and no we don't want your business card." I glared at the figure and then down at the poor red-headed reaper who had just been violently assaulted.

The red reaper herself raised her head to look at her "saviour" a bright smile appearing on her bruised and beaten-up face, "William! Oh, William! Did you come to save me- MHP!"

I couldn't help but wince as the stoic man jumped onto the already injured head of Grell, "Attention reaper Grell Sutcliff, you have violated several regulations, first, you killed people not on the to-die list, second, you used a death scythe that had been modified without authorisation, and finally, you offered someone strictly classified information on the identity of his relatives' murderer,"

Is he ignoring me?! An irk formed on her forehead as I was prepared to roll up my sleeves to fight this guy hands-on- forgetting the fact that etiquette was a thing "Oi Kunikida--"

He shoved two business cards in my and Sebastian's faces before bowing, "Please accept my-"

I would say kys but reapers aren't the best people to say that to I frown as I slap the two cards out of his hands "Said we didn't want your damned business cards!!" I managed to catch one between the fingers as they fell and shoved it back in his face as he tilted his head up from his bowing position, both Sebastian and Ciel were staring with their mouth slightly agape. "And who the hell did you hire to design these?! Sure business cards aren't supposed to be too colourful but this is just bland! The only thing it has is your name and the association! No contact details-- how impractical. Y'know what, it suits your mundane personality anyway..." I let the card slip through my fingers and slowly fall onto the wet, damp cobblestone.

"You..." The man stood back up tall, a slightly shocked expression on his face before brushing off my comments and turning instead to Sebastian.

"Please excuse my Lady's bluntness," A new voice, yet a familiar one to me appeared. Behind us, at the entrance of the alleyway, his appearance stood out greatly, almost glowing. His light attire contrasted the grey atmosphere and even the small smile on his face distracted me from the fact that the others were even there,

"Ash!" I had turned away from everyone else and jogged up the the white-haired man as he observed my appearance,

With a disappointed sigh, he took off his tailcoat and lightly placed it over me, a confused hum made its way past my lips as he made sure it wouldn't slip off, "You sure have made quite the mess of yourself,"

"Ash..." I looked down, then at the tear in my skirt, "The skirt you bought me..." I held his tailcoat securely around my shoulders, snuggling into the warmth.
