A shattered soul (William x reader)

25

William looked over at the human world. All of them happy people living there lives. A sigh escaped from his mouth, not to be missed by the one person he didn't want to be around right now, Grell. Grell was his partner for this job, which didn't excite him very much.
"You miss her don't you?" Grell asked. For once in her life, Grell was almost quite. William didn't respond, he just kept looking at the city. "I know I do. I don't know how your managing" William looked at the red haired lady. He had to admit that he wasn't doing well at all. She was the one person that made him smile, actually smile. It hit him hard when she went. William felt a lump grow in his throat. He turned away from the human world. This was his first job in the field he had been on since it happened. He was scared to go on this job, and he had every right to be. He couldn't save her. As much as he tried he couldn't save her. The worst bit wasn't even her dying, it was the fact that he didn't die along side her. It was too soon and she was too young. Of course William blames his self, even with all the reassurance that it wasn't his fault. That's the thing though isn't it, you often do blame yourself when you lose someone close to you. Her smile and face haunts his mind. Oh the pain it caused him now. But to think, before she died William had felt true happiness for the first time. She gave him the happiness only for it to be ripped from him.   

The baby (y/n) had been left in the care of Undertaker, which didn't excite Will very much. They jumped down together to collect the soul of an infant and her mother. Will shook as he walked into the room with the dying woman and her dying baby. He held his breath not wanting to show much weakness. Grell just let the weakness show and started to ball her eyes out. They collected the soul not speaking at all then headed back to the Undertaker's parlor. Ronald had returned from his reap as well and when he noticed Grell he hugged her tight while she carried on to let everything out.
"What was your job?" Ronald asked. Will didn't answer. Not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't. He stayed quiet and went to baby (y/n) in a tiny coffin asleep. He held his finger near her hand and her tiny fingers wrapped around his. Her face was definitely more like (y/n)'s than Will's, which is something he was glad of. He was glad baby (Y/n) was going to grow up looking like (y/n). 

(y/n) woke up and cried so Will picked her up and rocked her. He hummed to her only to find Grell and Ronald watching him, that didn't stop him though. It also didn't stop him from crying.

"Close your eyes on Hushabye mountain-" Grell started to sing which startled Will. "wave good-bye to cares of the day. And watch your boat from Hushabye mountain sail far away from lullaby bay." Will mouthed to her 'thank you' as baby (y/n) slept. 
"Will, when was the last time you slept?" Grell asked and rubbed his back. 
"That doesn't matter" Will answered. "Besides I am back in the office tomorrow."
"Then sleep" Ronald spoke. Will shook his head.
"How can I sleep? She isn't there" He let out some well held back tears. Grell was there to wipe them away. 
"Will she is always here" Grell spoke and kissed his head. 
"I  want to go to her grave" Will said boldly through his tears. Grell nodded.
"Ill take you."

He knelt at her grave and just let the tears fall. 
"I love you (y/n) (l/n). I love you and I always will"
