[ Oh my god Fukuda your romance clusterfuck. Vlad can't believe he actually knows enough about it too to actually have opinions and insight into this. He hates this, but fuck if he isn't gonna DO HIS DAMN BEST TO GIVE SOME GENUINE ADVICE ]
Hmm...she seems a rather stubborn sort, so I wouldn't advise trying to get her to appreciate your strongest elements. Rather, I'd try to meet her on her terms, based on what she values.
Which, from what I've seen, is exclusively appearances.
Have you considered a makeover? Or, alternately, giving Gluttony one to make him look worse by comparison?
Well, I don't think Gluttony would agree to that? At the same time I don't know if there's anything I could do to compete with that. He looks like a monster now but I saw Grell's memory of how he looked before... and besides she seems to be into this new look too?
[So... that doesn't seem like a good avenue? But;] But... She did say she likes me... I mean, we have things in common she doesn't with Sebastian? So maybe if I can just improve a little do you think it will even out?

That's really nice of you... Well, it's about Grell.
[Unsurprisingly.]
no subject
[ He knows Fukuda and Grell have something, but he's not exactly clear on what. ]
no subject
[IT SOUNDS STUPID WHEN HE SAYS IT LIKE THAT?]
I mean, because of the Sebastian situation... he doesn't even like her and she still said I'd be nothing but a stand-in?
[Which he doesn't want!!]
But then i talked to Glut-Sebastian yesterday, and he thought I should try harder? But I don't know how to go about trying to win her over...

[I can't believe you're putting Fukuda in the position of having to say this;]
I feel like there are multiple problems with that plan?

I don't know if she'd still be interested if it's quick and painless but I suppose I can keep that in mind. I wouldn't have even thought of that.
[He looks grateful! For Vlad's weird advice.]

I was just surprised, is all. It seemed a bit out of character for you.
