Who: William T. Spears and Madame Red
Where: William's apartment
When: Backdated a bit to the middle of the curse week
Style: [action]
Status: Closed


[ William had phoned Angelina earlier that day, inviting her to stop by his apartment, perhaps for lunch. They could have gone out somewhere again, but William, not being the most willing person to show public displays of affection, thought perhaps something where it was just the two of them would be better. And DEATH knows that would not have been the case going to An's place - nothing could ever be considered private when Grell Sutcliff was anywhere in the vicinity.

Plus, after realizing he'd been affected by the week's current curse, he was even less willing to leave his flat. He'd gained perfect eyesight from the event, but his loss was still undiscovered.

So, while he waits for An to arrive, he sets the tea kettle on the stove to heat and places his - no longer necessary - glasses safely upon the coffee table. He may not need them right now, but they are still a reapers most important possession and should be treated as such. ]

I fully agree on that account. It will happen in due time.

[She smiles and kisses his cheek while he looks at the list of places. She'll stop having fun at his expense, ok? For now anyway.]

[gtfo_mypersonalspace]

[ The cheek kiss actually relaxes him from his flustered, tense state somewhat. ]

Chinese?

[ He'd developed a fondness for it recently, getting bored with cooking for himself every night. ]

[ladyinscarlet]

[Good, because he totally should.]

Yes, sounds quite good.

[gtfo_mypersonalspace]

[ So dinner arrives and is enjoyed by the two of them. And shortly there after, William gives a deep yawn, covering his mouth with the back of his hand so as not to appear rude.

A full tummy and centuries of heading to bed at strict early hour have left him a bit sleepy. ]

I apologize. I am not normally one to stay up late. Though, if there is something else you'd like to do, I could make some coffee to help me last a bit longer.

[ladyinscarlet]

[An will definitely agree with going to bed, but for other reasons. She really just want to cuddle in his arms for a while.]

No, it is fine, William. I would not want to mess up with your schedule. We certainly may head to bed. [Well, she won't mess too much with it, anyway.]

[gtfo_mypersonalspace]

[ William nods and heads to the bedroom. He returns with a spare pair of his pajamas. It's a button up top and pant set colored light blue with darker blue pinstripes. ]

I hope these will do.

Does William have a bathroom schedule? Like Sheldon from Big Bang Theory?

[ladyinscarlet]

[An takes the pyjs with a smile.]

Thank you, they look cozy. Would you mind if I used the bathroom to change?

I never headcanoned him to, but the thought is pretty funny XD

[gtfo_mypersonalspace]

That would be fine.

[ While An's busy changing, William will be doing so in the bedroom probably just putting the shirt on when she walks in~ ]

LOL! Because An would hate to mess up with that!

[ladyinscarlet]

[Indeed she does, and enjoys the quick view of his skin. Not that it's the first time she sees him in any state of undress. For her part, William's pyjs are slightly large for her, but make her look just adorable anyway.]

You have a very nice bathroom.

Well he has a ritual of things he does, but there's no assigned bathroom going times haha

[gtfo_mypersonalspace]

[ He hears An speak and quickly finishes buttoning up his shirt. ]

Thank you. There are certainly advantages to things being free in this city.

[ And wow. William never would have thought that the sight of a pretty lady wearing his pjs would be quite an alluring thing. ]

Awww, I see!

[ladyinscarlet]

[That doesn't stop An from peeking a bit.]

Yes, but it is easy to get used to that, is it not?

[Awww, William, you make her blush as she walks back into your bedroom.]

[gtfo_mypersonalspace]

That is the dangerous part of it, yes.

[ He pulls the blankets back, climbing into his usual side of the bed. ]

[ladyinscarlet]

[Not like it truly matters to An anyway. She's a Baroness back home. But she will nod politely anyway.

Once he's climbed into bed, she does the same on the opposite side.]

Any sleeping habits I should be aware of, William?

[gtfo_mypersonalspace]

Just that I am an extremely light sleeper. I hope you are not one to snore or toss and turn at night.

[ And if you thought William was stiff and ridged in his everyday life, he's even more so now that he's lying beside An in bed. He certainly feels out of place in this moment, despite being the one who came up with the idea to begin with. ]

[ladyinscarlet]

It would be truly unladylike to snore. [Giggles a bit.] But as far as I know, I do not.

[An probably shouldn't mention she does toss and turn, and sometimes moan when she has a nightmare.

Also, she notices William looks suddenly uncomfortable. She decides to experiment a bit and moves closer to him, taking his hand in hers. To start with, anyway. An knows she needs to take the lead in this, but she can't take things too fast, or William will run away like a scared rabbit.]

[gtfo_mypersonalspace]

[ The hand holding helps and he turns his head to look at An. ]

How do you like to sleep? Position-wise?

[ Yes, he's formulating how exactly they will lie here so that they will both be comfortable and he will be able to sleep without being woken by movement. ]

[ladyinscarlet]

[She smiles. Honestly she would like to be held by William in her sleep. But since he is a light sleeper, it might not be best idea. Not for their first night together. Though if he offers a cuddle, she won't deny it.]

I prefer to sleep on my side. How about you?

[gtfo_mypersonalspace]

That is my preference, as well.

[ And with that, he rolls to his side, facing An. And after a few moments, he stiffly places his arm about her waist. ]

[ladyinscarlet]

[An smiles softly at him and places a quick kiss on his lips, gently and soothing rubbing the arm around her waist.]

Good night, William. Sleep well.

[gtfo_mypersonalspace]

[ William gives a soft humm of approval at the kiss. His expression has softened greatly from it's usual stern, tense appearance. Though he isn't yet smiling, it's obvious he's quite happy in this moment. ]

Sleep well, Angelina.

[ladyinscarlet]

[An is happy whenever she can get William to soften a bit. Those moments are precious to her. She settles comfortably next to him and closes her eyes.]

You too, William, good night.
