A Grim Reaper's Love - Grell Sutcliff x Reader

Chapter 19

Groaning softly, you groggily sat up on your bed, realizing that you were still in yesterday's clothes. The moment you didn't feel your glasses on your table was uncomfortably alarming. You frantically searched your table, then felt your ears for them. Your glasses were still on, and you sighed, much to your relief. Pushing all the strands of your [H/C] hair off your face, behind your ears, you got out of bed and walked over to your dresser to get your night clothes, trying to be as quiet as possible to not making any noise.

"Oh, you're awake?" Slightly jumping at the familiar voice, you turned to find the redhead still awake, in his night clothes. He was sitting up on his bed, and gazing at you.

You sighed and put your palm on your chest, "Oh, Grell, you scared me."

"O-Oh, my apologies." He bashfully smiled and laughed awkwardly.

'That's kinda cute..' You thought, and giggled. "Grell, do you.. Suppose you know what time it is, now?" You were wondering about it, and you couldn't see the time on your watch due to the lack of light.

"Um, yeah." He reached for his watch on his table, and the moonlight shone on his watch. "It's 8:50PM."

"Oh.. I see, thank you for telling me." You gently spoke as you picked out your night clothes.

Just when you were about to go to the bathroom to change, you glanced at your roommate. The moonlight shone on his porcelain skin, his usual flaming hair stunningly crimson, and his handsome face bore a calm expression. It was the same scene you've seen many times, but you were still captivated, by this same image. Even after seeing him every single day on a daily basis, he just never failed to look so flawless and perfect. No matter with, or without makeup.

You blushed slightly, it was rather odd, yet surprising, that he stole your heart ever since the two of you met, for whatever reason. Your heart was pounding harder and faster every second, and just as you were about to keep on staring, he noticed your gaze and looked back at you. Your eyes met, and locked.

"U-Uh-" Embarrassed, you hurriedly rushed to the bathroom to change, quickly closing the door and leaning against the cold wall. You sighed in relief, and let yourself recover from blushing. You thought, no, you knew, the longer the both of you stared, the more difficult it would be to break eye contact. 'Such a stupid excuse.. But I guess, that's reasonable.' You stood back up, then started to change into your night clothes.

You stepped out of the bathroom, having your glasses and nightclothes on, and holding your neatly folded uniform, sighing. You went over to your dresser and put back your clothes, whilst not noticing that the redhead was watching you. "Hey [Y/N]?"

"Yes?" You turned to look at him.

Grell blinked, and opened his mouth hesitantly to say something. But he stopped, and shook his head, looking away. You raised your brow at him, confused. "No, it's nothing. Just something personal."

You blinked at him, and you were beginning to become concerned about him. But decided to leave it be, for now. "O-Okay then..?"

You calmly rearranged your clothes in the dresser, and closed it sighing. "Did you find her?" The redhead asked, out of the blue.

You furrowed your brows at him, "Saffron?" He nodded, and you paused for a moment. "Well.. I lost her in a small alley way. I spent the rest of the evening jumping roof to roof, trying to find her. But there wasn't any luck.."

The redhead looked at you sympathetically, and sighed. "Well, at least you returned safely~." He smiled softly, and you sheepishly nodded and averted your gaze from him.
