Mutual Friends of Death (Undertaker Romance)

Green-Eyed Reapers

A/N Hello, everyone. I'm sorry about being a little bit of a downer, but my dog died tonight. She was around 14 years old, so we were expecting it to some extent, but it's still sad. With finals week coming up, I know I have to stay focused, but I'm finding it a little difficult right now. I decided to hopefully give you guys a nice surprise by updating early. You don't have to comment or vote or anything else, but I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

Sebastian was on the floor of his room, giving his best attempt to sit up. Raduriel sighed before walking forward to help him.

"You really shouldn't have done that. It was an incredibly foolish thing to do. What purpose would it serve other than to infuriate me?" She gently moved him to a chair as he let out a pained chuckle.

%I was running out of options, so I decided to give it a try. I couldn't think of anything else to do. Besides, it ended the fight, didn't it.% She snorted lightly.

"Yes, but not in your favor. You're just lucky I still like you." He grinned.

%What isn't there to like about me?% She raised an eyebrow.

"Would you like me to list all of the reasons?" He continued to smile, used to the banter between them and opened his mouth to respond, but was interrupted by a yell outside his open window.

<SEBAS-CHAN!> The butler sighed as he instantly recognized the voice of the being who quickly jumped through the window after their greeting.

<Oh, Sebas-chan! It has been far too long! Have you-> The red-headed reaper froze mid-sentence as she took in Sebastian's wounded state. Grell immediately revved her death scythe and looked ready to murder someone.

<Who hurt you?! How harmed my precious Sebas-chan?! Though, I must say, darling, you look absolutely wonderful in red! Such a beautiful color! The color of love, of passion!> Grell fangirled but paused the moment she saw Raduriel. She sneered at the female standing by Sebastian.

<And just who are you? I suggest you don't try to steal my love away from me. Not that he would ever love a bimbo like you.> Sebastian smirked evilly as Raduriel to in a breath to respond. She failed to get a word out, however, before Sebastian pulled her onto his lap and nuzzled her neck. When he looked at Grell for her reaction, he smiled at her look of utter astonishment.

%She could not possibly steal me from you, Grell. After all, I'm already hers.% Grell's face matched her hair and the demons could swear they saw steam coming from her ears as she grew too upset for words or actions. Raduriel turned to give Sebastian a look just as Undertaker walked in the door without knocking.

~I brought those towels and- oh, hello, Grell. What are you-~ He froze and failed to complete a second sentence as he saw Raduriel not only sitting on Sebastian's lap but also that the two demons had their faces rather close together. Where Grell's anger was boiling and fiery, Undertaker's was frozen and icy, however, both reapers glared at the two demons in front of them. Raduriel turned to face Undertaker and moved to stand once more, but Sebastian's arms around her waist held her in place. Undertaker and Grell moved forward, each wanting to cause harm to one of the demons. When Sebastian saw Grell come towards them with her death scythe at the ready, he quickly moved, placing Raduriel on the chair behind him as he stood in front of her in a protective manner. He opened his mouth to speak but did not see the punch the mortician threw at him. Undertaker's fist hit him in square in the jaw and caused him to stumble out of the way. Grell stopped her approach, surprised by her former mentor's actions. Undertaker grabbed Raduriel's wrist and dragged her towards the door, ignoring her hiss of pain as he did so. He spoke over his shoulder to Grell as he walked.

~You take care of him, and I'll take care of her.~ Just as the reached the door, Raduriel was finally able to pull her arm from his grip.

"What in the world is wrong with you? Just calm down for a moment." She turned to face the other two occupants of the room, her fellow demon in particular.

"Those other servants in the manor, I assume they can't do much on their own. Do you want my twins or yours to take over while you rest?" Sebastian sighed as Grell slowly inched closer and closer to him.

%Since it seems that my recovery has been delayed due to you no longer being available to heal me, I'll take my twins. I trust them a bit more.% Raduriel nodded and walked out the door, having Undertaker follow behind. They heard Grell's yell of disbelief just as the door closed behind them.

<YOU HAVE KIDS?? TWINS?!>

Raduriel smirked but winced as she took a small step forward. She leaned against the wall as Undertaker walked in front of her. He made to pick her up again, but she placed her hands on his back.

"No, Undertaker. I'm fine. I can walk." He turned and moved his hair so she could clearly see his look of disbelief. She chuckled weakly and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Alright. If I really look that pathetic and if it will make you feel better, I'll let you help me to a guest room." He grinned and gently picked her up. She held on tightly as he quickly moved to a nearby room. He carefully sat her on the bed and turned to focus solely on her.

~Where are you hurt? I don't see blood coming from anywhere.~ She sighed and leaned forward against him. He smiled kindly down at her and brushed his fingers through her hair. She slowly relaxed against him and buried her face in his robes.

"I'm going to have to ask Mastema to come here and help. I would prefer for you to wait outside while she's here." Undertaker made a small noise of displeasure.

~I can help you. I just need to know where you are hurt.~ She shook her head.

"You can't help me with this, Undertaker. Please." He sighed.

~Fine. Just answer a few questions first?~ She moved back enough to look up at him.

"What would those be?"

~...you have kids? Twins?~ Raduriel slowly grinned and dissolved into giggles as he repeated Grell's questions to Sebastian.

"No, no, no, no! Hahaha! Neither of us have kids. Both of us have a set of twins as servants. Hahaha! Sorry, I had to get him back for trying to use me to deter that redhead." Undertaker nodded slowly.

~So...You two aren't...~ She shook her head as she continued to grin.

"Of course not. You really are quite funny, Undertaker." He nodded a few times, a little relieved, and began to move toward the door.

~Alright. I'll leave for now. I'll check to make sure Grell and Sebastian aren't killing each other.~ She smiled softly at him.

"Thank you, Undertaker. I really appreciate you doing this." He nodded before making a quick retreat out to the hallway. He heard her call for Mastema just as he closed the door.
