What: There are apologies to be made.


text;

I'm outside. Come meet me?


[ The points of Grell's teeth press into her bottom lip, as she taps 'Send'.

Yes, she's feeling a tad anxious; she'd made a grievous mistake last night, and hasn't any idea how to make up for it. It isn't often that she regrets her actions - far more rare, is for her to bother addressing it at all.

This is William, however. More specifically, this concerns how she'd just thrown away the opportunity to taste success after a century-long pursuit of his affections. At the time, it made perfect sense to her, but now...

Now, she stands outside the entrance to his temple, waiting. Intruding would not do her any favors, at the moment, and she wouldn't care to bother with his shinki, either. Not while she has so much on her mind, and must command herself to focus. ]

[ Caught so much by surprise, Grell straightens herself to level with the other, uncertain that he isn't joking. But, of course he isn't; this is William, after all, and he's nothing but serious!

Blushing up a storm, she even has to raise her hands to cup her cheeks! ]

I-- yes, alright!

[ With a bounce, she suppresses a small squeal, and snatches one of William's hands to tug along! ]

Considering our selection, the decision should be quick, at least.

[ Because, glancing over the night wear, there's very little which isn't sheer, or short enough to leave goods on display. Thankfully, they do offer just a few short sets; SHORT shorts, but... ]

Hm. [ Grell reaches out to pick up a red velvet set, holding it up against herself contemplatively. ] Better than a free skirt, isn't it?

[ Ah, but then her face lights up with an idea! Handing William the set to hold, she dart over to grab those over-knee socks she had been looking at before, although opting for them in black, instead. More skin coverage, right? ]

Ta-daa~♥

[death_glare]

[ If he hadn't known she would react like that, he may have stumbled when she pulled him along. However, a hundred years around Grell will give you enough you need to know about what makes her overly excited.

Perhaps William would have flicked through the garments on the rack too, but Grell was quick to find something. Something he suddenly has in his hands as she darts off. He fingers the material, finding the quality of the fabric to be far nicer than he would have anticipated from this store. It's only when she returns with socks in hand that he gives his final assessment. ]

If you pair it with those, then this should do fine.

[untodeath]

[ Grell's very particular palate can either make shopping with her a breeze, or a nightmare; thankfully, it was in their favour, this time!

Beaming, she returns to proudly hold the socks up neck to the shorts. ]

Ah, yes, and it will still be cute!

[ Simple, but sexy, and definitely great cuddle material. What a steal. ]

Unless... Do you see something that you like better~?

[ The inquiry comes with a sly bat of her lashes. After all, he seems to appreciate delicate wear, it couldn't hurt to ask! ]

[death_glare]

[ He takes another look around the displays. There are certainly items he finds appealing, but he's quick to return his focus to Grell. ]

Perhaps in the future.

[ An indication that Grell should go and pay for the outfit, as he's already decided that's what would be appropriate for tonight. ]

[untodeath]

[ With a chuckle, she reaches out to scoop up the articles, and less than subtly brushes her hands over William's in the process. ]

Well, then! To the future.

[ Grell's shoulders raise merrily! It's off to the register, then - where the poor young woman seated there nearly jumps out of her skin, upon so suddenly noticing the redhead. ]

[death_glare]

[ And while Grell pays, William will let himself out of the store, a tactic to avoid having to look at what the other side of the store had to offer before they left.

Standing just outside the shop's main display window, he figures he has a short bit of time to himself, and pulls a pack of cigarettes from his inner jacket pocket. He feels he needs the smoke after how this day has gone, so far. The sporadic up and down of their relationship isn't anything unusual, but never had the ratio of ups been so great in comparison to its counterpart.

He lights the cigarette, inhaling and slowly letting the smoke out in an even stream. This could either go well, or very very poorly. But at this point, backing out doesn't seem to be an option. ]

[untodeath]

[ It isn't too long after that Grell is able to join him outside, purchase in hand. With a bounce to her step, she raises an arm to dangle it victoriously; packed into a cute little bag! ]

All set~! And, look! [ Give her just a second, while she fishes a card out to present. ] A coupon-- for that future visit, hmmm♥?

[death_glare]

[ William takes the card in his free hand, looking it over briefly before returning it. ]

Then you better behave yourself or that coupon will expire before you get the chance to use it.

[untodeath]

Trust me, I intend to take all preventative measures against that possibility.

[ Dropping the card back into her bag, she then peeks up at him with a flirty little wiggle of her shoulders. ]

That looks very attractive on you, you know.

[death_glare]

[ A small frown and he's looking down at his outfit. Everything seems to be in order, nothing different from when he left to meet Grell, earlier. He meets her eyes again, obviously confused by her statement. ]

What does?

[untodeath]

[ A giggle, as Grell slips her arm behind his waist. ]

That. [ She says, line of vision lowering to his cigarette in hand, a nod of affirmation in its direction. ]

[death_glare]

Ah. [ He flicks the end with his thumb, causing the ashes to flutter down to the pavement. ]

Supposedly, it isn't a healthy habit. Not that it really matters in regards to us.

[ And he takes another drag, taking care not to envelop Grell in a cloud of smoke as he exhales. The familiar sent of the tobacco is highlighted with cool, menthol. ]

[untodeath]

Precisely. What could it possibly do, kill you?

[ Grell's lips split into a wickedly amused grin, ]

I don't particularly mind the smell, either.

[death_glare]

You better not. You're half the reason I kept this habit.

[ A final puff and his shoe extinguishes the remainder against the sidewalk. ]

What now, then? We have quite a bit of time before you'll be wearing that.

[untodeath]

Only half, mn? I don't think you've given me enough credit.

[ She takes a moment to glance down the street, absentmindedly swinging that bag to and fro at her side. ]

Are you interested in skipping ahead, to the movie? We could always browse some more after, if we're still so inclined.

[death_glare]

Your recent behavior has helped, substantially.

[ Taking his phone from his pocket, he takes a few moments to open up the website where he originally found the movie listings. He hums as he thumbs through the options. ]

It seems as though there is an earlier showing. In around 30 minutes.

[untodeath]

[ With raised shoulders, she presses herself closer in delight! ]

Oh, that sounds like just enough time to go and get ourselves settled! So, what do you think~♥?

[ Resting her chin at his shoulder, she peers up at William with anticipation, as she awaits the final answer. ]

[death_glare]

I think we should get going then.

[ Not that it takes them long to get to the theater. After all, they do possess the ability to teleport.

Yet, modern theater is something William hasn't quite experienced yet. Well, he does have plenty of experience watching film reels, but high production cost, extreme special effects and over the top sound are not something you find while watching the cinematic records of the deceased. He's certainly in for a treat. ]

[untodeath]

[ All well and good, as it will give them a chance to pick through the titles, purchase their snacks, and find the perfect seat!

After catching sight of the promotional poster bearing a red chainsaw, the initial choice was easily made. Grell would be gushing about the liklihood of having one so similar, as they waited on their shared popcorn, buying them drinks and candy to go along with it - and finding them perfect seats in the center of the theater was easily done when one could just teleport in and bypass the awkwardness of stumbling past knees. Now, they simply had to wait for the previews! ]

Isn't this exciting? Even the commercials have a certain novelty to them, on a screen like this...

[death_glare]

Honestly, it is a bit much.

[ Because seriously, that is a huge screen. Hell, they could probably watch this film without their glasses, it's so big!

Shifting in his seat a bit, he attempts to situate himself while carefully holding the large bucket of popcorn. The seat's reclining feature took him by surprise when he first sat down, thus there's a decent amount of it in his lap and on the floor around them. He huffs slightly, brushing some of it off his pants. ]

[untodeath]

[ With a giggle, Grell flicks a stray one off of her own knee. ]

I'm sure you'll come around once it starts! The quality of imagery, the sound-- It's sensational.

[death_glare]

I should hope so, considering the amount we paid for all this.

[ Though this popcorn is pretty good, despite being able to tell how bad it is for you from the first bite. But, finally content in his seat, he hand the bucket to Grell and, instead, decides to munch on the chocolate candy they purchased, as well. ]

[untodeath]

[ Though surprised to be handed that popcorn, despite how he seemed to like it, the situation would make perfect sense once realising what he was getting into next. She snickers. ]

You addict.

[death_glare]

I am not addicted. What is wrong with me enjoying something sweet?

[ He's gotta find enjoyment somewhere in his depressing afterlife! ]

[untodeath]

Nothing~. Though, you do enjoy your sweets, it's true!

[ Tilting her weight into the arm rest between them, she leans over to press a kiss to William's cheek. ]

It's cute.
