A/N I'll be using she/her pronouns for Grell, so if you don't like that, suck it up, darlings
Grell has been working extra hard lately, and had even chosen to spend more of her time in the office than at the Phantomhive manor with Bassy~. She didn't want it go to the manor as much any more, as she started to realize that Sebastian didn't have feelings for her. She sighed, resting her cheek on her hand. "Why me..." she said , letting her face fall into her desk. It had been at least a month since she stopped talking to Sebastian, and so far, nothing much changed. "Maybe it's for the better..." she said, sniffling. She wiped her nose on the sleeve of her tailcoat. "Yeah.. if Bassy doesn't love me, then I'm sure someone else does..." she reassured herself, only to sigh again, and slam her fist onto the desk, accidentally knocking multiple things off of it. "OH, WHO AM I KIDDING!" Grell burst into tears, only to be put to a halt when Will opened the door. Grell quickly tried to clean up her face, and hide the fact that she was just crying. "Yes, w-William.?" Grell said in a shaky voice. "Sutcliff, what were the noises I was hearing from your office?" He said, adjusting his glasses with his spear.
"Oh...I-it's nothing.." she said, still hiding her face. Will have her a confused look. "Well, it's obviously something.. " he said sitting on her desk. She looked up sighted to see him, looking down at her. When she put her head up, will raised his spear, ready to hit something. Grell quickly shielded her face, and let out a slight wimpier, preparing for the worst. Instead, will fired his spear at a tissue box from accords the room. The spear latched onto it, then brought it back. He grabbed the box of tissues; and handed one to Grell. "Here." He stated. Grell looked up to see Will offering her a tissue. T-thanks..." she said, accepting it. "Now... " will said, staring down at the reaper in red. " why were you crying?" Grell looked up at him with watery eyes.
"It's just.. OOHH I CANT TAKE ANYMORE!" Grell started to cry once again, and rested her head on Wills lap, since it was on her desk after all. "I just thought that I found someone who I could love forever, and who would.. eventually.. return my feelings! But NO! He has to go and crush my poor little reaper heart!" Grell started to yell, burying her face in wills lap. "I just need someone right now.. and *sniff sniff* NO ONE IS THERE!!" She sat there, whimpering for a bit. Will was astonished about what he just saw. "It will be okay..." he said, slowly combing his hands through her red hair. "Sutcliff... I can see you are going through a lot right now, and.. " he sighed. "If you really need it, I can take over your shifts for today and tomorrow. Take the time off, relax a bit... I can afford a little bit of over time just this once." He said, trying to be comforting. "Wait..wh-What?" Grell said in disbelief. But y/you hate over time..." grell said, feeling slightly guilty about making him work extra for her. "Exactly, so don't go getting used to it." He patted her head as a signal he needed to get up, so grell lifted her hair up. "Here" will said, pulling something out of his pocket. He handed a handkerchief to grell, who gladly accepted. "Use this is you ever need to cry again. Now, go do something fun, I'll take over your shift, don't you worry." He flashed a quick smile and grabbed the huge stack of papers from her desk, and walked away.
Grell looked down at the handkerchief. She held it close to her heart and said "well... he said to have fun, right?" She smiled mischievously, and stuffed the handkerchief into a pocket in her tailcoat. She bolted out of the office, and into the streets. "I'll be sure to have lots of fun, Will!" She laughed like a dork, and continued on her mission.
