Chapter 29
I saw a bit from the manga of Undertaker crying at a picture of Vincent. I cried.
Anyway onto the chapter!
Your P.O.V
It took a few minutes for Ciel to say whatever he wanted to say before he awkwardly left the room after telling you to take care and get lots of rest. "Pfft, I ain't gonna rest til my question has le answer!" You shouted, flinging your arms in the air but accidentally smacking Adrian in the face as well. He giggled while William and Sebastian stood to the side looking confused. "I asked why you two were in a yaoi position" you said as you shrugged. Sebastian coughed and said it didn't matter while Adrian smirked, supposedly staring at William's cracked spectacles. (I dunno, can't see his fuckin eyes) "So... Bob Jones," you said while turning to face Adrian, "How... Did you..." You tried to think of a question to ask him to break the awkward silence when something in your brain clicked. "How did you become a Shinigami?" Everyone in the room stiffened, except for you and Sebastian. Grell and Adrian no longer had their signature smiles plastering their faces. Instead, Adrian had crystal clear tears, rolling down his cheeks one after the other before dripping onto his robe. Grell sat beside William, twiddling his thumbs, obviously avoiding looking at you. You and Sebastian stared at William, both of you hoping for an answer. "Well, I-I won't lie to you..." he said, earning a look of shock from Grell. "Sh-Shinigami were... human. All three of us were once human" You stared in disbelief as William averted his gaze, acting as though a speck of dust on the carpeted floor was more interesting than the conversation. Adrian continued for William, his voice shaky as he added, "We were cursed with eternal life, being forced to watch people die and harvest their souls" Sebastian nodded and gestured for him to keep talking, but he shook his head. "Just tell them" Grell finally said, still not looking at anyone or anything in particular. "We're all cursed with the same fate because we all did the same thing. We killed ourselves" You gasped when he finished and Sebastian had surprise written all over his handsome face. Wait... What? Handsome? You mentally slapped yourself before draping your arm around Adrian's shoulders. "Why would you do that?! All three of you!" Grell sighed and was the first to answer, "You remember how much people used to make fun of me for being gay and stuff? Well, you always stood up for me and the day you left to go work for that old guy it got worse. I was a weak little shit back then, so I tried to end it all" You knew he was talking about your previous master when he mentioned 'that old guy,' but you never thought he would do something like that to himself, just because no one accepted his sexuality. "At least it doesn't affect you anymore, you bloody baka" you said with a soft smile. William was the next to answer. "I did it when your mother and I had been dating for a few years. She opened up and told me she was a demon, but I loved her too much to leave her. I even had a ring ready. I knew what would happen if I killed myself, so I did. Just so I could be with her forever. But I was taken away from the both of you a week before you were born" You nodded, knowing that the love he and your mother shared was forbidden. Everyone in the room stared at Adrian, who was silently crying the whole time. "U-Undertaker?" You asked before pulling him towards you and resting his head on your shoulder. His arms wrapped around you as he sobbed into your shoulder, soaking your nightgown with tears. "You loved her, didn't you?" Sebastian asked, his hand on his chin in thought. You were about to question him when Adrian said, in a muffled voice, "I t-thought you were d-dead. When I saw the a-accident happen, I c-couldn't live with myself" You gasped when you realized that Sebastian was talking about you. You always thought of Adrian as your big brother, besides the petty crush you had on him before you met Herman Greenhill. You thought about what he said and you felt your eyes widen as the word 'accident' rang through your mind like a bell.
~Flashback (This happens when you're in Intermediate School)~
Sweat trickled down your forehead as you recited your lines in front of the large crowd. The costume you wore itched like crazy, but you knew to ignore it. After a while, the lights shut off, causing a temporary black out. The new part of the set was wheeled onto the stage and you quietly stepped onto it, carefully avoiding the places where the wood creaked. You felt the rope around your neck and heard frantic footsteps around you as everyone hurried to their positions for the final scene. The blinding lights turned on and you heard the crowd murmuring comments to one another. You paid no attention to them and listened to the other actors say their lines, patiently waiting for your cue.
Undertaker's P.O.V
I sat in the audience staring at my crush, (Y/N), on the stage. She acted with a fiery passion that made it seem so real. She played the main character of the play so well, her (H/L) (H/C) hair concealed under a short wig to make her look like a male. Her eyebrows had been darkened with a pencil and she was covered in splotches of dirt and fake blood. The perfect Jack, I thought as I remembered the crazed look on her face as she 'murdered' the other actors/actresses. As the lights turned back on my eyes scanned the stage to find her standing on a raised platform with wheels at the bottom. I know this trick, I thought, The trapdoor will open, and she'll look like she's hanging but in reality she's standing on a concealed box! I praised myself for my cleverness and waited for the finale to happen. Just as they were about to pull the lever to open the trap door, I noticed that (Y/N) seemed to be sweating more than everyone else. I thought nothing of it and Kirito pulled the lever aggressively, accidentally pulling the set forward with him. (Y/N) fell through the hole and her hands shot up to the rope around her neck, panic plastered on her beautiful face. By the time myself and everyone around me had realized she wasn't acting, three teachers had already run onto the stage trying to get the rope off. All the other students on the stage did nothing, all of them frozen in their place, especially Kirito, who was currently being pulled out of the way by his girlfriend, Asuna. Professor Levi rushed the unconscious girl off the stage while Professor Erwin, the Headmaster, announced the end of the show, leaving everyone on the audience confused and panicking while I sprinted out the door only to see Professor Levi calmly helping the paramedics get (Y/N) onto the ambulance, the red burn marks clearly visible on her neck.
