Grells undertaking on love.

ℭ𝔥𝔞𝔭𝔱𝔢𝔯 1

*It was a bright, summer day, a man stood outside of a large, dark and eerie shop, sweeping quietly, his sleeves rolled up and his hair long, silver hair was pulled back into a lose bun. He might be a grim reaper, but even to him wearing all those layers was hot. As the man continued to sweep, he heard the sound of someone approaching. He glanced up, giving a faint laugh as he saw a woman with bright red hair approach

Grell jumped from rooftop to rooftop after her daily work was done making her way to the undertakers shop she had a relatively boring day so I was hoping for some entertaining company as she got close she made eye contact with her smiling recently new friend. She return the smile jumping down off the roof top onto the pavement " hey Adrian, whatch doing" she say swinging her scythe over her shoulder

Adrian glanced up at her, smiling and giggling. "I'm just cleaning up around shop. What about you, Suttcliff?" He raised an eyebrow at the flamboyant reaper. He continued to sweep around him, eventually setting the broom to the side and inviting the woman inside his shop.

She followed undertaker into his shop sitting on one of the many coffins laid out " My last reaping for the day just so happens to be near your shop so I thought I would come hang out for a bit" she replied with a shrug as she watched the older man.

The reaper gave a simple nod. "Would you like some tea, Grell?" He gave a glance at her, sitting down on a coffin himself as he waited for a response from the red head. "And how was your day? Was it entertaining?"

" I'm not really a fan of tea but thanks for the offer," she replied as she took her Jacket off setting it to the side " also no I got quite the lecture from William this morning for not having all my paperwork done from yesterday, it's just so dull! And all the records I view today were quite pathetic" she said rolling her eyes.

The man gave a nod. He took her coat and hung it up for her. "William is obnoxious." He said simply. He knew the younger reaper looked up to him, and quite frankly it annoyed him. "That's normally how the job is." He laughed. "So boring and bland. You never see anything interesting anymore."

She laughed lightly laying on her stomach swinging her legs " well personality aside he is all to handsome to resist" she went on  twirling her hair in between two of her gloved fingers " had you ever seen any records that were interesting" she asked her gaze returning to the man in black

Adrien gave a laugh. "Many." He said simply, he moved from sitting on the coffin to sitting on the floor. "I've been a reaper for a long time, as you know. I've seen many interesting stories. Some sad, some ridiculously amusing. I'm sure you've heard the stories from William. How children would willingly give their souls. Or how I've collected the souls of men such as Robin Hood and Shakespeare." He gave a smile.

Grell stayed silent listening to undertaker as he spoke, she always found what he had to say to be quite interesting even if it was simpler things as what he has done for the day. He didn't seem to have many dull days in grell eyes. " yes he had mentioned that"

Adrien nodded. "He seems to mention me a lot, doesn't he?" He gave a small laugh. "It's amusing how he thinks I would want to be friends with somebody like him. He's too loud and annoying." He said bluntly. He didn't care how attached Grell was to the man. He spoke what he thought.

Grell laughed he loved William but he did agree that he was quite annoying " not your type?" She asked jokingly . She know William and Adrian would never get along , but the idea was funny.

This caused the reaper to break into laughter. "Oh never in a million years would I consider him my type" he continued to laugh, he found this amusing.

Grell laughed as well though not nearly as long " personality aside though, you have to admit he is rather attractive." Grell continues after she calmed down

The older reaper gave a gaze, calming himself down before he broke into a laughing fit. "To you" he scoffed, looking over at the red head.

" what's not to like!?" She exclaimed dramatically as she flipped so she was laying on her back, putting the back of her hand
On her forehead  Adrien laughed dryly at her reaction. "What's there to like?" He questioned, putting a nail on his lip, as if to suggest he was thinking. She gasped looking at him with her jaw hung low " how could you even think that! His stern mysterious glare, fair skin tone, and well built figure," she went on seemingly in a daze  He returned the gaze, laughing more at her response. "I have no attraction to a man like him" he stated bluntly. " how dull, you can't even appreciate his good looks will that pile of hair and lack of glasses " she sighed turning so she could full face him once again "do you even have a clue what I look like?" The thought for a second, he looked up at the reaper. "No, I don't believe I do. All I see is red whenever I'm around you."She giggled lightly before she gasped getting and idea she ran over to her jacket pulling a couple bobby pins out of the pockets and returning over to Adrian pulling his bangs back and clipping them as she took a second to admire his obvious good looks before she took off her glasses handing them in the Direction of Adrian " most reapers have similar sight so this should give you an idea!" She exclaimed with obvious excitement. Adrien hesitated before taking the glasses, he put them on, flinching. It had been eons since he was actually able to see. He gawked at the red woman in front of him, unsure of what to say. She tried to stay facing Adrian even though she could no longer see him " can you see though them!?" Grell questioned "You're beautiful." He bluntly said, he glanced around his shop, taking in the scenery. He slowly got up. "Stay here, I'll be back." He walked to the back of his shop, coming back after a few minutes, he was wearing his own glasses. He returned Grell's glasses to her. She blushed at the compliment it wasn't often see receive them. Grell waited as Adrian had asked smiling as her glasses were returned to her face " wait you still have your glasses, I thought you lost them! Why don't you wear them?"Adrien just gave a small shrug. "I just choose not too. They're inconvenient. But I will admit, it is nice to be able to see for the first time in years" he sat back down, looking over at the red reaper. She return to hurt sitting position as well " well I like them, your so attractive yet all I get to stare at is your hair"The man raised an eyebrow at her. "You find every man attractive, dear" he hummed quietly. "But thank you." She pouted " not alllll! and either way I think you are still the most attractive man I have ever met, and trust me I hold bassy to a pretty high standard " Grell exclaimed He gave a small smile. "Im glad at least somebody thinks I'm attractive. And to be put above Sebastian? That's shocking." She looked at undertaker as if she was beyond insulted " when's the last time you've seen yourself!?" He thought for a second, he stayed quiet before speaking up. "Around 500 years ago?" Her eyes went wide " do you have a mirror in here because I think you have completely forgotten what you look like!?"Adrien simply shrugged. "I don't know entirely what is in here. I would've expected you if all people to have one on you." She frowned " I have one in my purse but I don't bring that with me when I'm working so it's in my office" He gave a small nod. "We could visit the department if you'd like." He stood up. "I've got a few books I need to return." "Oh yes, I need to turn in my work and if you're their then will won't yell at me! Ah and you can see my office, I re-decorated last week! I actually have a picture of you on my Corkboard," she went on and getting excited The reaper gave a dry chuckle. He nodded. "It would be strange seeing my old office again. I'm unsure if it's even my office anymore!" He headed over to one of the tall wooden shelves within the room, he picked up a few of the books. "I can't imagine what I'd do with these considering how poor my eyesight is."" I don't know I've never seen your office so I wouldn't know where it is." She replied before watching him pick up a book. " Even with good eye sight I don't see the point in the jumble of nonsense words on paper" she said with little interest in books The man gave a simple nod. "I find books rather interesting myself, but to each their own." He walked over to her, waiting for her if she was ready. "And besides, it gives insight of what all is going on in the world without my hands getting dirty." He gave a laugh. She nodded, Grell understood why he liked them but didn't really agree " well are you ready?""Ready as I'll ever be." He looked at the red reaper. He was a bit hesitant to go back to the office, but he did need to turn in his overdue books. She giggled lightly before latching onto his arm and quietly teleport them to her office so she could grab her work before seeing William
