-Grell pov-

I couldn't stop asking myself why William left the room so quickly. I guess the awkwardness around the room was getting to him. I didn't blame him. I wish I could have left so I wouldn't have to make silly small talk with Bassy. He'd been kind to me so far, but that's just the way he was. He could switch his attitude in a blink of an eye. He never actually cared about anyone, just followed his masters orders until he could eat the brat's soul.

"Feeling any better Grell?" Sebastian asked with a smile.

He was obviously kidding. He saw me in so much pain that I couldn't stand by myself. Sebastian just liked to play mind games, get inside someone's head to see how they'd react.

"I'm feeling splendid this morning, Bassy!" I said with my usual flippancy.

His smile never wavered, like I suspected.

"Umm, Bassy, why am I at home?"

I looked around the room again, trying to spot anything that might be out of place. I had no idea why, but something just seemed... wrong about being here like this. Wasn't I just in an alley a while ago?

"I brought you here, of course. I couldn't just leave you when your under my care, now could I?"

I fiddled with my hair, trying to ease up on some of the tension that was building in the room.

"No, I guess not... But why was Will here? I thought he went back to work after you..."

"After I kissed you? Yes, I thought he would have gone back too. I find it quite intriguing that he came back. It would seem that he thought you were in trouble, even without knowing that you were."

I tried to hide my blush behind my hair at his directness about the kiss. Why would William come back for me like that? He had a job that he spent so much time on. It just seemed wrong that he would stop everything just to check on me. It just didn't make any sense.

-William pov-

I sighed in relief as I exited the dispatch once again, with my paperwork in hand. I hated not being at work, but at least I wouldn't have to worry about unauthorized time off. Now all that's left to do is get back to Grell before the demon does something he won't regret.

But WHY am I doing this?

It's the question that's been circling in my mind since the beginning, but I still can't find the answer. Obviously I've been... distracted, by all of this. Yes, that has to be it. The reaper has made me feel sorry for him by getting himself into a load of trouble. Now I can't seem to focus on anything else.

I quickened my pace, wanting to get there as soon as possible.

I am so sorry guys. this chapter isn't much insight on the situation and I have a writers block that is killing me. Hope you're all still following the story! Once summer comes, I'm be sure to spend more time on my writing, but for now I have about a month of school left until summer. Life has been crazy lately! Went on a date, realized my date was not dating material. Went to NV Tennessee with my honor choir. Getting my licence soon. Turned 16. sooooo... ya. My mind has been on a lot of other things but I want you to know I haven't forgotten about my story. Also, I don't really like how this is going, and I feel it's a bit slow in getting to the point. Do you guys think I should focus it on the plot line of Raven more? instead of the thoughts and feeling of Grell and Will like I've been doing? I'm just so stuck that I don't even know anymore. I know exactly how it is going to end, it's just the inbetweens that through me off. :/
