On a tight leash

The date

Sebastian's POV

Sebastian sighs softly as it was now past 11 at night and he's now getting ready to go out with the crimson reaper. He was dreading this but a deal is a deal even if it's one he wishes wasn't possible. He pushes all his hate aside and goes outside quietly like a shadow and goes to the city to meet up with said reaper. Sebastian waits by a 24 hour pub since it was the reaper's suggestion. Sebastian checks his pocket watch then hears the clicking of high heels closing by as he looks over to see the red reaper in a quite honestly a beautiful red dress with lace at the top and a nice red cotton skirt, it was long but beautiful. Her hair in a low braid and a few roses in the braid as well. He had to admit she looked lovely. Grell grins " well bassy how do I look? I do so hope you like it. It took forever to find an outfit to wear for our first night alone together and Ronnie and othello were no help either, I'm afraid those two boys will never get laid with their taste in just about anything honestly " grell says. Sebastian held in a laugh " well you do look rather nice, let's just head inside and talk shall we?" Sebastian says taking his hand out. Grell takes his hand and nods " we shall "

As the night went on Sebastian was starting to admire grell and see how she truly is when she's not in combat or with other people. Just being herself. He was actually interested and listened to everything she had to say whether it be about theatre or music or hell even the adult books and telenovelas she likes. Sebastian was actually curious about her.

Grell drinks her wine " so bassy is there anything you'd like to know about me personally? I can give you all the details I am an open book and I'm sure you're curious about me " she says. " there is actually something I'm curious about, how did you become a reaper? I never really understood how reapers are well reapers " he says. Grell puts her glass down and takes a deep breath in and out " well you see humans become reapers as punishment for committing suicide, we live in purgatory an endless and monochromatic world. I.....committed said act by cutting myself not just my wrists but also my body. You know I was born male but I always saw myself as a lady, during that time no one understood except my mother and brother but well....I was taken away by them. I had to live out my pathetic life working at a brothel and for a church when I was younger. Everyone called me a freak because of my teeth. It got so bad to the point where every time I looked at my reflection I saw a monster and got scared. So one day I had enough and started cutting my arms, wrists and even stabbing myself in the stomach but that wasn't enough. So I took the knife and cut off the dreaded disgusting filth between my legs, before I uttered my last breath I saw myself and said ' am I beautiful?' Then I died and when I woke up I was in a white room and saw my brother holding me. My life as a reaper was rough at first especially during and after exams. But I don't regret the choice I made, what I regret is not loving myself when I really needed to. I learned to far to late I suppose. But that's all well in the past and now I'm one of the most valuable reapers of the London dispatch association and I love myself " grell says. Sebastian was in disbelief he never once thought or even cared to think that the red reaper the red queen of death thought or did any of that. He felt sorry for her. " I...I'm so sorry, that must've been so hard for you to understand " he says in a gentle tone. Grell laughs " oh please don't feel pity for me, it was a long long time ago and I'm feeling much much better about myself "

After that night

Grell goes outside and opens a portal with her chainsaw " well I should get going before will dear finds out I'm absent, I'll see you next time handsome " she says and gives him a quick kiss on the cheek as she hops in the portal as it closes. Sebastian was left standing there holding his cheek " I think......I might be in love "
