Forgiven

[death_glare]

[ No one questioned anything when William suddenly left his office that morning. "I've been called to a meeting" was all the information he gave the rest of Dispatch. To them, it wasn't surprising, seeing as he was the head of the department. For William, however, the summoning came with zero notice. As he made his way to the upper managements' offices, all he could wonder was what issue his subordinates caused that he'd have to clean up after, this time.

It wasn't until lunch break that William returned to Dispatch. The others expected they'd get reprimanded for something, but William remained quiet, his face expressionless as he closed the door to his office. ]

[ Giving him a little squeeze, she nearly purrs at the idea. ]

Mn, I would ask what you have in mind, but I almost like the idea of the surprise~

[death_glare]

It won't be anything extravagant, so don't get your hopes up.

[ His hand idly rubs her shoulder, almost instinctively, at this point. ]

[untodeath]

As one who cannot cook in the slightest, my standards may be a bit different than yours...

[ After work, a good meal, two romps, and about a bottle's work of wine, the day's beginning to catch up to her quickly, now that they've both wound down and she's wrapped in his comfort. Her speech becomes to become a bit sluggish! ]

It's all extravagant.

[death_glare]

Good to know I haven't shown myself to be a disappointment.

[ It's a comforting thought and he holds on to it while he slowly closes his eyes. It's certainly been a good day. ]

[untodeath]

You could never be a disappointment in my eyes, my darling. [ Her words drawl into a yawn, as she nuzzles herself under his chin. ]

[death_glare]

[ There's a short sigh of relief before he finds himself drifting off. It's a wonderfully good night's rest. No tossing and turning. No suddenly awaking in a cold sweat. No dependency on sleeping pills. Instead it's the soft light of morning peeking through the window and slowly rousing him. He hums contently, not willing to get up just yet. ]

[untodeath]

[ Grell, at some point during the night, had apparently stirred awake - most likely due to the fact that she had attempted to sleep in a harness - and snuck away to undress, tidy up, and remove her makeup. Having crawled back into bed with him, she's contently nestled beside him... although, she has an arm ungracefully slung over her face to block out the morning light! ]

[death_glare]

Perhaps and hour longer.

[ He mutters, still half asleep. ]

[untodeath]

[ His voice gets the redhead to stir, turning to sling that arm over him, instead. Licking over her lips with a smack, she heaves a sleepy sigh. ]

Mn... You're awake?

[ She's been drifting in and out all morning, waiting for him, but stubbornly not wanting to leave the bed without him!! ]

[death_glare]

No.

[ A rare lie! But he's not ready to get up just yet either. He eases Grell off of him with a lazy push, rolling over to his side before pulling her back up against him. ]

[untodeath]

[ It only has Grell chuckling lazily-- cut short when he pushes her off! She opens her eyes to pointedly pout his way, but immediately eases against him with a sigh once realising what's been done. ]

Alright, then... Me, neither, I suppose.

[ Wiggling to allow him the ability to wrap around her just right, she rests her hands over his. ]

[death_glare]

[ Now at eye level to one another, William's able to access her neck with just the slightest tilt of his head. His nose and lips lightly graze across it as he settles in for another nap of sorts. ]

[untodeath]

[ Such earns a pleasured shudder from her-- and after a few moments of inactivity where he's settled, it finally registers that he really does just intend to sleep.

With a good natured huff, she raises a hand to rest over the back of his neck, cradling him there. ]

[death_glare]

[ She may have to wake him, eventually. He's gotten so comfortable that he's even begun snoring! ]

[untodeath]

[ Yeah, snoring in her ear isn't going to fly. Pulling a pained sort of expression, she struggles to shift to that she may gently take his face by his cheeks, gently raising his head to peck at his lips. Eases him back onto the pillow, to kiss at him until he wakes! ]

[death_glare]

[ This method is certainly less relaxed than naturally waking up on his own, and he frowns at her once he realizes just what's going on. ]

Grell, I'm awa-- [ And he's silenced by another kiss! ]

[untodeath]

[ Hearing him call her by name has the edges of her lips twinging into a smile as she kisses him, and knowing that he's awake now, she leaves her lips to linger on his whilst threading her fingers up into his hair! ]

[death_glare]

Are you even listening to me?

[ He attempts to ask, but his words are muffled by her lips refusing to leave his own.
Still, he's not shoving her back, which might just be the fault of those fingers gently massaging his scalp. ]

[untodeath]

[ After allowing a long moment to pass, in which she's allowed herself to relax once more, she pulls away from him with a content grin. ]

Good morning♥~

[death_glare]

[ There's a huff at seeing that grin. ]

I was content with sleeping longer.

[untodeath]

[ Her brow raises, as she busies herself with dashing her fingers through the bangs that flick over his forehead. ]

You were snoring. On my face.

[death_glare]

Next time I'll snore into my pillow, then.

[ Ok, he officially referred to one of her pillows as his. That makes it extra super official! ]

[untodeath]

[ Despite his mild threat, knowing that he's become comfortable in having a shared space with her leaves her smiling brilliantly. She cranes in to give him another kiss, brief but tender. ]

Or you can do something else to my face.

[death_glare]

We just woke up. And we need to bathe.

[ He pushes back from her, rubbing sleepily at his eyes. ]

[untodeath]

[ With a pout and a huff, she rolls over to push herself up! ]

Fine. So mean.

[Running her hands up her face and into her hair, she then stretches her arms up over her head with a final yawn. ]
