SUMMARY
Grim is stressed out. He's been doing this job since the first heartbeat ever stopped. And after spending eons trapped in the afterlife realm, he finally snapped and decided he needed a place on Earth. Sure, he could've taken a room at the Hell Motel instead... but Hell isn't exactly cozy. Too many screams of the damned. And the Devil? Not exactly the chillest guy to hang out with.

So Grim chose Earth as his new place of residence. He was genuinely surprised to find a human willing to share a home with him. But there you were — offering Death himself a place to stay. Grim doesn't pay rent, of course; the afterlife department doesn't hand out fancy mortal currency to immortals.

He's simply there. Existing. Living his immortal life alongside you. But somewhere along the line, things shifted. Grim keeps staring at you, trying to figure out why you make his non-existent heart slam against his ribcage. It rattles his bones in ways he's not used to.
