Grim normally could pay no mind to Dio’s followers. They were just that. Followers. People Dio needed in order to fulfill his needs and wants. However, there were times when she could not help but feel a twinge of jealousy. It was irrational, she knew that. But she could not help but think about the time he had left her. It only became worse when he needed to leave her for periods of time while she was recovering.

She tried to busy herself with taking care of their daughter. She waited until she was certain that they could spend some time alone before gently leaning on him. “...Dio, dear... Grim... well, she wants to send some time with you. Alone.”

(Classic AU. Toby x Grim, most definitely)

After a long day at work, Toby had taken a shower and had decided that it'd be best to cuddle with Grim for a bit. What he didn't know was that while he was busy trying to pick a shirt to wear, Grim had walked in on him while he was still shirtless. His scars and his metal arm were on full display. The metal arm wasn't much of a concern... But the scars... There was an X-shaped scar across his back, right between his wings, and there were a bunch of scratch and stab marks across the front of his body. Clearly his work as an assassin landed him into a LOT of trouble with the Slenderman (his ex-boss, whom he despised just as much as the thought of losing Grim).

Grim had not realized he was getting dressed. She would have knocked if she had. When she entered, she was about to say something only to cut herself off. She blushed, staring at what she could. She already knew the cause of his scars. She was all too familiar with how dangerous their jobs were. When she caught herself staring, she cleared her throat, tearing her gaze away. “G-Grim is sorry. She will… um… she will wait in our room.”

Toby had decided to head to the park with Grim again, hoping to get some fresh air. He seemed to be in a good mood, casually floating next to his beloved as he stayed close to her. Thank the gods that nobody was watching or questioning the reaper's existence, though some people would stop to glance at Toby and Grim, just to give a small wave of greeting.

Grim was happy to walk in the park. Even happier to have Toby with her. She held his hand, simply enjoying the fresh air. She waved back to those who greeted them. It surprised her how well the general populace took seeing a reaper.

"I won't let you hurt her! You'll have to kill me before you even THINK of laying a hand on her!"

Toby had been injured during a fight with a rather peculiar-looking demon, one that seemed to resemble a clown... But the clown had lost all color, now resorting to a black and white state. The reaper's scythe had been snapped in half by this demonic entity and tossed aside like a busted toy, and his chest bore a few nasty claw marks that thankfully weren't too deep, but were still drenched with fresh blood.

Grim knew things were going far too well for them. It seemed that, no matter where they went, deadly trouble was just around the corner. She was beginning to find the constant threat tiring. This clown-like demon was just another who seemed to want them dead. If there was a line, she was certain it would be as long as any in an amusement park.

She rarely ever left the house unarmed anymore. She only ever did so if they were with friends who were able to fight as well. Even then she would need some convincing. She seemed eerily calm, despite the situation. She just walked next to Toby, smiling. However, he would be able to notice that there was something more to her smile. Her voice seemed tense, hints of restrained rage peeking through. "Toby, dear... Let Grim handle this one."
