It was a Saturday.

William had just woken up. It was his day off and, he was ready to just kick back and, relax. Usually Grell came to bother him on his days off but he knew no one would visit him today.

No one visited him anymore ever since the accident.

-Flashback-
The year is 1925.

The time is 10:23.

He had just gotten back from an incognito mission with Ronald and, Grell. Grell had been flirting with a bunch of the of the jazz players and, since they thought that he was a girl, they had been flirting back. William of course had been very annoyed by this seeing as how, they were on a mission and, they had no time for these games.

"William~! Must you be such a prude~?" The redhead asked in anger. "I'm just trying to have a little fun~!" He exclaimed with a pout. William's eyebrow twitched in irritation. This..This…imbecile was accusing him of not being fun.

He sighed in aggravation. "Grell..If you would stop flirting with everything that has a penis then, maybe I'd be more..How did you put it? Fun?" He hissed put coldly. The air in the room was now cold. He knew what he said was wrong even before it left his mouth but, he couldn't stop himself.

Grell's eyes were full of hurt. "I-Is that what you really think?" He asked in a broken whisper. William said nothing. He didn't mean it but, his pride was getting in the way of his apology. "Dammit Will! Answer me! Is that how you really feel about me?!" He asked again but, this time louder. His voice was shaky. He was near tears but, William still said nothing.

Ronald, sensing the tension in the air, pulled Grell back and, walked him away. "Come on senpai. We should go.." The blonde said softly. Grell, gritted his teeth and, nodded. "Fine." He said icily as he let the blonde drag him away. William kept his gaze to the ground until they both left.

After the two of them had left, William went back to his office. That was when he heard a scream. He left his office quickly and, rushed out doors. That was when he found that the majority of his employees were, horribly wounded. He crouched down next to Ronald. "Who did this?!" He asked the blonde junior. He coughed and, looked up at him.

"Demons. Tons of 'em. They followed us back to this realm and,wiped the floor with us, boss." He choked put weakly. "Grell managed to take down most of them but, not before he..he.." He trailed off and, tears were now streaming down his face. "He what, Knox?!" He said shaking the blond. He couldn't finish so, he just pointed to behind him. "See for yourself…" He said weakly before going unconscious.

He got up and, walked to the bloodied and, battered body of Grell and, took a deep breath. He crouched down next to him. "Grell…? Are you..okay?" He asked cautiously. The redhead chuckled but, it quickly turned into a coughing fit. "Do I look fine?" He asked with an arched eyebrow. William frowned. "This isn't the time for this. We need to get you to the infirmary right no-" He was cut off by the redhead's hand over his lips.

"No. Take Ronnie and, everyone else. My wounds are too bad. I'm going to die anyway." He said with a soft chuckle. William's eyes widened. "No. I'm sure with the proper medical attention, everything will be oka- Grell?" He shook him but, received no response. "Grell?" He wasn't responding to anything. He stood up and, walked away. He had just lost his best friend.

Nothing could be worse than this.

His funeral had been a few days later. They tried to dress him in white but, William and, Ronald both were very adamant about red. After all, Grell had never claimed to be a virtuous woman. He was the mangosteen goddess of reaper so, he must be dressed as such.

-end flash back-

So, here he was, laying in his bed and, staring up at the ceiling.

Wanting.

Waiting.

For something to happen on his day off. For someone to come and see him. To take him a way from this place. But, he knew all of that was in vain.

After all, he never got visitors.
