Yandere Grell x Male!Reader

Conversations over dinner

With the table set and dinner served, you hoped conversation would pick up soon. You ate but tried not to seem to eager about it, playing along with what Grell told you to do. You were seated closer to her, as expected, even though William chose his seat first. "So, as I was told, the entire reason that you're here, (y/n), is because you're sick, correct?" You could feel Grell's eyes on you as you nodded weakly, but your eyes desperately called at his for help. "Not much of a talker, I see. Would you care at all to elaborate on this?" You tried to formulate an answer, but Grell quickly chimed in, answering; "He's been awfully sick with an upset stomach and his throat is quite sore, so you can't quite blame him for not talking-" William gave her a glare, quickly cutting her off before she started rambling. "Sutcliff, be it as it may at least let him attempt to speak for himself. Honestly, you rambled to me about it enough. Now, (y/n), how has Grell been treating your illness?" You took part of your answer from fact, managing to stutter out, "Well, she's fixed me tea, made meals that helped digestion, and offered to let me stay here in the spare bedroom." You could still feel Grell's eyes on you, pressuring you, and William raised an eyebrow at your response. "You say you've been staying here, why is that exactly?" Your brain scrambled for an answer, saying the first seemingly legitimate reason you could think of. "Originally, she checked on me since I wasn't at work, and she offered to make me tea... since I didn't have any she invited me over for some, and I accepted, then I got sick again and she offered to let me stay." Your words came out unsteady, and your hands shook due to anxiety. Behind you, Grell fought herself, wanting to stay but at the same time- she stood quietly stood up, causing you to look over at her, a look of fear in your eye as she looked over both of you. "Please excuse me, I'll be back in a moment." She then walked off, judging by her footsteps it was to the bathroom. Finally, your chance had come up! Suddenly, trying to compose yourself and control your excitement and slight nervousness, you looked at William with wide, desperate eyes and spoke quickly, no higher than a whisper. "William, please, I know this sounds crazy but-" his head tilted as you spoke, intrigued. "Look, I'm not even sick at all. Grell's been keeping me here- look I-" you took a napkin, frantically trying to rub off at least part of the makeup on your face, and on your wrist. "She's- I lied. I had to for my safety. Please, reassign me, do anything to get me away from her please-" He looked shocked at your actions, even appalled. Tears began to start welling up in your eyes before William finally had a chance to respond. "Honestly, just when you try to trust her. I knew she was possessive, but not... to this extent. I apologize for putting you in this position, and-" You both two looked up as footsteps neared the dining room. You put your sleeve back down, wiped your eyes, and you both continued eating as she walked in. "Sorry to keep you two waiting. Enjoying the meal?" You nodded, and William spoke up. "Yes, but I'm afraid I can't stay for long. (Y/n) will be coming with me, as we must discuss how he will make up for the work he's missed." Grell's eyes suddenly turned near furious, immediately snapping back; "As if I couldn't take care of it myself?! Here, he may be free, and at an equal position, but in work he is still under my control-" William grew agitated at her rambling, and you shook at the lie she told. 'Free and at an equal position' what bullshit! William just had to see through that- "And who put you in that position in the first place, Sutcliff? Honestly, learn compose yourself." He grumbled, then stood up, "I've enjoyed myself here, but now (y/n) and I must take our leave. I trust you've taken good care of him, but he can not miss much more work. Goodnight." He walked you out the door with him, and you could feel Grell's eyes piercing your back as you left. You could just feel all the rage being contained in her, burning into you. But, with the door closing behind you, you felt a weight drop from your shoulders. "Thank you, I owe you so much." You looked up at him, with tears forming in your eyes again, holy shit you were finally free! He nodded, looking down at you as you walked next to him. "I apologize for putting you through this, and I have to find you a place to stay as neither your nor my residence will be safe for you. She can easily find you there. I will have you reassigned, most likely under me, and relocated by tomorrow evening, and I will stay with you tonight to make sure she does not come back. In the meantime, tell me everything Grell has done to you. Honestly, this is going to give me so much more paperwork..."
You kept walking with him, not knowing where you were or where you were going, but felt safer climbing into a carriage with him than you ever would with her.
