Grell x Reader

(Edited)

You stared at Grell as he was talking to William. He would never notice you the way you noticed him, after all, you weren't Sebastian. You walked into your office and once you sat down, like they knew you were about to start working, someone knocked on the door.

"Come in." You muttered as you started doing your paperwork.

"Hey [Nickname], how's things going with Grell." Ronald asked. Ronald caught you staring at Grell a few times and he automatically knew you had a thing for the red headed flamboyant male and, of course, he told everyone except Grell. You glared at him and as you carried on working.

"Everything's going great, he still goes on and on about Sebastian, he has even started asking me ADVICE on how to get him to like him. So all in all, great." You replied, anger clear in your voice. Ronald laughed nervously and backed away to the door.

"Oh look, I think William is calling me. Haha, it was nice talking to you, see ya later. Bye." and with that Ronald left. Everyone knew you had a temper, a temper that was short and whenever you 'lost it' you ended up trashing the room you were currently in. You weren't going to lose it this time. You were going to carry on working so you wouldn't have to do unpaid overtime like always. Just as you were about to get started on the paperwork, again, someone burst in, and of course, you knew who it was.

"Hi Grell." You murmured.

"Nice to see you too." Grell said as he sat in the chair opposite the desk, spinning around on it before settling.

"Sorry, I just have a lot of work to do, what did you want? You asked looking up from your work.

"I need advice, Bassy still isn't noticing me, what should I do?" Grell asked, twirling a piece of his red hair. You sighed.

"Maybe you should give up."

"Why would you say something like that? Don't you want me to be happy?" Grell said, his voice going quiet and sounding upset.

"Of course I want you to be happy." You sighed, again.

"Good, so what should I do? I want Bassy to finally notice me." Grell carried on, not noticing the angered expression on your face or the tears in your eyes as you scrunched up your paperwork.

"Why don't you ask someone else about your 'sweet Bassy'?!" You snapped. You looked at Grell's surprised face. You looked down, letting the tears fall and you stood up from your chair.
"Excuse me." You said as you ran out the door. Everyone had heard you shout and they were all staring at you. You glared at them and they went back to work without a second glance. You ran out the building and back home to where you lost it.

"Stupid reaper, Sebastian this, Sebastian that. I don't care about Sebastian. I just wanted you to notice me, I wanted you to at least acknowledge that I love you." You shouted into a pillow.

~~~ Time Skip brought to you by sleep ~~~

You woke up and realized you weren't where you fell asleep, you were in your bed. You got up and looked around the house, noticing that everything was put back in its original place. You found a note on the coffee table.

'Dear [Y/N],

I'm sorry if I upset you yesterday, I promise I will stop talking about Bassy.

Love, the one and only, Grell.'

You smiled at the little note left behind and got changed into some new clothes. Once you freshened up you got your death scythe, which was a sword, and went back to work. You walked in like nothing happened and went straight to your office, everyone's eyes glued to their work and not on you.
