Troubled waters(Ronald Knox) (Black Butler)

Delusions?

**_Re-cap on Christmas:_** 

"Dayum it must be Christmas!" Ronald smirked. 

"Mhmm." Elanora purred as she drifted of to sleep. 

"Wow, is my dirty talk that boring... guess I've got to find new pick up lines." Ronald said wrapping her sleeping form in his arms and drifting into sleep.

"You wanted to see me William?" I said standing in front of his desk. 

"Yes, due to Reaper Suttcliff's incompetence -" 

"Don't remind me Sempai, I'm already doing enough overtime as it is!" I sigh, pushing up my glasses with my index finger and crossing my arms letting my standing position lax into a more comfortable one. 

"As I was saying, if you and the other reapers have checked the records, then there is a strange goings on with the totalling." 

"Yes, Alan was the first to notice because it started on his lists, then mine, then Eric, then Ronald's and then Grell's shared overtime amount and so on and so on, forgive my tone but could you get to the point of this conversation as I am due for a collection in 15 minutes and you know I hate for my work not to be Tight, clean and or efficient." I say. 

" Due to the under staffing, I have been drafted into investigate, go undercover as it were. After your collection's you are to meet me back here as your services would be much appreciated." He says, lenses flashing in the sunlight. 

"Tell me more first, I need to know what I'm being pulled into." I say.  

Being serious with William is the best way to speak to him at work. 

"I will be going undercover at a circus..." He sighs. 

I want to laugh so much at the thought of him dressed as a clown, but I keep a straight expressionless face. 

"I see and what? You think your dragging me along with you, sorry Sempai but I refuse to do anything so humiliating." I state firmly. 

"Duly noted. That however is not the reason. The reason is-" 

"Ten minutes and thirty seconds." I say, looking at my pocket watch. 

"Ugh! The reason is, I am unfamiliar with what goes on in a circus, you as I understand it do, so you will assist me." 

"Fair enough, now if I may be excused." I don't mean to be rude, but I hate being late, a bad habit I picked up from Ronald that escalated immensely. 

"One more thing." He says as I reach the door. 

"Yes?" I say, my back facing him and hand on the handle, I turn my head around to meet his gaze. 

"Make sure.... you have accompaniment, you are still in a recovery process and as such it was deemed that when you go out on collections you would have one person as support." William stated. 

"I am aware of this Sempai, don't worry." I say as I exit his office.

"Ready!" Ronald say's as he gets up from his desk, death scythe slung over his shoulder and playful smile on his face... it feels good to be back at work. 

"Yes, Yes now come along Ronnie, you know I hate being late !" I smile. 

"I'm starting to think I'm a bad influence on you love." Ronald says. 

"Oh please." I say as I walk out the door.

We walk out of the offices and along personnel, I suddenly feel eye's on me and start to feel uncomfortable, this always happens, just cause I'm a female dispatch officer I get perved on or shunned. Me and Ronald decided to keep our relationship discreet, because it would be the centre of attention and I hate that...... but I bloody hate how the women are eying him up or still flirting with him.
