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. ]

[ 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. ]

[death_glare]

If you'd rather not take a bath, then I'll shower alone.

[ Why not ruin a perfect night's sleep with some morning arguing. He sits at the edge of the bed, giving a brief glance over to where Grell is stretching. Seems she changed out of her outfit without him noticing. He really must have been sleeping well! ]

[untodeath]

[ Grell slumps, looking betrayed by the very idea! ]

Nooo... You're especially grumpy this morning. Guess I can't be cute with you before coffee!

[death_glare]

I wasn't until you woke me up.

[ But coffee does sound wonderful, and would most certainly cheer him up. Standing from the bed, he finds his pjs to quickly put on and makes to head to the kitchen. ]

I will put on some coffee. Get the bath ready.

[untodeath]

Who would be grumpy before waking?

[ But, otherwise, that sounds like a lovely plan, evident when she slips from bed to act without any further complaints.

Grell doesn't bother much with clothing, instead opting for a robe from her closet, once her glasses are on. It affords her time to watch the other dress. ]

Put an extra sugar in mine~?

[death_glare]

Considering how little sleep I used to get, I was quite content to make up for it.

[ But he'll end it at that, as well, and makes his way to the kitchen. ]

I'm taking that request literally, in case you were implying something else.

[untodeath]

[ With an amused breath, she follows behind him to the doorway, leaning against it as she sees him off. ]

Morning coffee is never a joke, Will! [ A grin. ] Though, you can put some sugar in me after. I certainly wouldn't complain.

[death_glare]

[ He just gives her a look over his shoulder that is silently saying, get in that bathroom and get started.

Finally in the kitchen, William begins filling up the pot, taking in the scent of the coffee grounds before measuring enough to yield some pretty strong drinks. ]

[untodeath]

[ With a chuckle, the redhead turns on heel to do just that. Making certain that the bath is comfortably warm, she adds in some oils and blended salts to make it especially comfortable and pleasing to the senses.

By the time William has returned, she's just finishing with brushing through her hair thoroughly. She successfully squeezed in a morning shave without him having to see; score! ]

Mmm, I don't know if there's a better smell in the world...

[death_glare]

[ He enters the room just in time to hear her comment. Breathing in the perfumed air, he frowns. He can't quite place the fragrance, and the scent of the freshly brewed coffee isn't helping that. ]

What scent is it?

[ Holding her cup out for her, he takes a careful sip of his own. It's quite hot! ]

[untodeath]

Coffee.

[ Reaching out to accept it, she turns to lean against the counter, so that she may cradle the cup beneath her nose and inhale deep. ]

Ah, but you must mean the bath... I've added a few things to make it even better. You've never used bath oils or anything of the like, mn?

[death_glare]

Ah.

[ Ok, he feels a bit silly for not realizing she was referring to the coffee. ]

No, I haven't. Is there much of a difference. Bathing in oily water doesn't sound particularly pleasant.
