When you're evil
Darkness
That's all … well come to think of it he couldn't remember his own name … did he even have one? Meh it wasn't important to him right now, no, what was important is WHERE THE HELL HE WAS!
There wasn't a single ray of light, no really he couldn't see his own hand in front of his face.
And suddenly he couldn't breath, the second he realized this the albino gasped for air but nothing was coming in. He scraped desperately at his throat with his nails, like he could scratch it open and somehow suck in air through the hole regardless of the fact that he would end up literally drowning in his own blood if he did so.
As it went on tears began to sting his eyes, white spots growing in his vision as consciousness drifted away.
"I-I'm … g-going t-to die...," He barely managed to croak out.
The second he finished the word 'die' a small chuckle was heard.
"Don't be silly."
The German gasped as the darkness seemed to sink to the ground, in the form of very low hanging black fog, and air flooded into his lungs, he greedily took in every bit he could get as a tall man formed in front of him.
Yes formed!
The same black fog that was blocking his vision before formed into a man who looked to be 18 maybe 19, the man had long wheat blonde hair that just barely brushed against his shoulders, his skin was pale, definitely not as pale as … dammit why couldn't he remember his own name!? Whatever, his skin wasn't as pale as the albinos, that's for sure, his eyes were large and violet …
Violet...
Well that was new.
And last but not least, the man was dressed from head to toe in …
White
He looked like a fucking angel.
"You can't really die if you're already dead."
The man had an evil grin on his face, one that looked so out of place on his lips, as he walked over to the clueless German, who was still down on his knees, and gently grabbed his chin with a silk gloved hand, forcing his head to turn from side to side.
Now that the man was closer he could see that violet didn't even begin to describe the mans eyes, they had specks of blue and even had green on the edge of the irises.
They were beautiful.
"You know, Gilbert, it's such a shame, you were so young … and good looking too."
Gilbert? … Was that really his name?
Well 'Gilbert' batted away the mans hand and stood up.
This stranger couldn't really be saying … Gilbert couldn't really be … could he?
"Are you saying ich am… dead...?"
The man smiled brightly and nodded.
"Oui!"
"Liar!"
The man simply chuckled. "Aw~ you're in denial, that's so cute~" He purred the last half in a way that seemed so unfit for his voice.
"It's not cute … und I'm not in denial!"
"Oui! You're in complete and utter denial!"
"...Then how did ich die...?"
The man paused …
Aha! Gilbert had caugh-
"I don't think you want to know ..."
What!? If he really died then of course he would want to know!
"How the fuck did ich die!?"
The man hesitated before pointing to his right temple, signaling Gilbert to do the same.
The albinos red eyes widened as his finger met dried blood.
"You did yourself in."
"Ich didn't! Ich would never ich..." There was no fucking way that he killed himself, he would never do that!
"Oui you did."
"Nein ich didn't! I'm … I'm too awesome to do that!"
The man chuckled … and then he laughed and fell back into a large stone throne, which had appeared the same way that the blonde stranger had, holding his sides as he laughed harder.
What the fuck was so funny?
He continued to laugh on the overly extravagant chair, very slowly getting over whatever he found so funny.
Gilbert just rolled his eyes and crossed his arms, obviously not getting it.
"Ah, I'm sorry aboot that … it was just too funny not to laugh at," he smiled, a wicked and out of place smile, as he set his elbow on the stone armrest and rested his face against his hand, "though I wont be telling you why … it's pathetic."
"Shut up!" The German snapped at him.
"Hmm" The man made a face of fake thought before speaking again. "Merci for the offer but no thank you."
"It vasn't an offer."
Gilbert glared at the strange man but said man just started laughing … again
"That's hilarious!"
"Vhat is!?"
"Y-you think – oh mon dieu!" He continued laughing, finding it hard to speak. "Y-you think y-you can or-order me a-aro-ound! Th-that's s-so adorable!"
Adorable? How the hell was it adorable!?
Slowly the laughter teetered off, while Gilbert just continued to glare at him.
Who the hell did he think he was!?
"Do you even know who I am?"
Gilbert thought for a minute … he wasn't too sure now, but his first impression was "an angel?"
The blonde just laughed louder and harder. "Oh mon dieu! That's the best joke I've ever heard!"
"...Joke?"
"I'm the farthest thing from an angel!"
… What? … It was safe to say Gilbert was thoroughly confused.
Slowly he stopped laughing … and frowned.
"...You don't get it .. do you, Gilbert?"
"...Jou're the devil?"
The man shook his head. "Non."
"...A demon?"
"Guess again."
Opposite of an angel …. Gilbert could only think of one other thing, it had to be right.
"Satin?"
The man grinned, that unfitting grin. "I'm flattered that you think I'm that evil but non ... and I think you'll be relieved to know he doesn't exist."
So he wasn't standing in front of Satin …
Well thank god for that!
But then what, or who, could this blonde be?
"You're stumped aren't you?"
Gilbert nodded dumbly and the man sighed.
"I am Hades, god of the underworld."
Gilberts jaw dropped.
WHAT!?
Hades chuckled. "Oh you should see your face, it's priceless! Though Hades is probably too much for your pathetic weak soul, you can call me by my earth name; Matthew, if you wish to."
Gilbert barely heard him for right now the albino was busy internally screaming at himself for being so stupid.
Wait.
If he was in the underworld...
"Why am I not being judged?"
The god blinked at him. Well he certainly didn't expect that question, not that he didn't have an answer. "...Because I saved you."
Saved him …
"Vhat!?"
Hades sighed.
"I read your file." Before Gilbert could ask what he meant a small cloud of fog began to swirl over Matthews hand, forming a large file, and fell into it, opening from the landing. "I usually don't do that, there are far too many to read and most are tasteless, but I was so bored that I thought I should play a little game of boredom roulette," his eyes scanned the page, "so I read yours and … something stood out."
"...Mien file?" File, that was pretty much all the German had got out of that.
"Oui," he flipped over the page, "it has everything aboot you in it. Of course it's very long so I haven't read all of it; I've only read the beginning, which is only the basic details and some of the things around your death." The god glared at the file in minor frustration. "But I don't understand," he closed the book which contained all of Gilberts life. Oh how the albino wanted to read it, to learn everything he had forgotten … to learn what his life was like, "you aren't interesting, you're just a boring little man who uses narcissism to hide how much he hates himself, most commonly claiming to be 'awesome."
Not interesting! G- … wait … awesome? Was that what Matthew was laughing about earlier!?
Hades watched with amusement as the Germans expression changed from confusion to anger.
"Y-
"Maybe it's your albinism," Hades really didn't care to let Gilbert speak, he honestly didn't care whatever it was, "… I'm not sure, you just stood out."
"... Ich want to rea-
"You can't!" The gods violet eyes widened as the German spoke, not even letting him finish the damn sentence.
"W-
"You forget things for a reason! You can't read it!"
"..." Gilbert stared at him, and his confused face quickly turned to rage … completely forgetting that he was fighting with a god. "Can't ich read some of it!?"
Hades sighed. "Fine." With a flick of his hand the file disappeared into a cloud of black fog, reforming in front of Gilberts face. "Read from the top of page one on to …. personality, no farther."
Gilbert nodded and opened the file. The first page was, as Matthew had previously stated, just basic things. There was a picture of a man on the top left corner, with red eyes and short pure white hair. As he read on Gilbert quickly realized that he wasn't going to learn anything about the life he once had with the material that Hades had given him, it taught him almost nothing.
Natural eye colour: Red
Natural hair colour: White
Current hair colour: White
Age: 23
Nationality: Prussian
Prussian? Huh nice to know.
Of course there was also personality but the Prussian didn't need to read that so he skipped it, but then … cause of death.
Cause of death: Suicide, bullet wound to the right temple.
Weapon: Pistol
Really? Just pistol? Wow with how thorough this file supposedly was you would think it would say more then just 'pistol'.
Reason:
Wait! Reason!? Okay NOW there was no way Gilbert was going to stop reading but with a flick of Matthews fingers the file was smoke.
"Hey! Ich vas reading that!"
Hades looked the least bit amused. "Oui and you were ready much too far."
"I-
Matthew sighed. "Lets just leave here and go to my home, it's too …. devoid of emotion here." Not depressing or sad, but emotionless, in fact the man sitting in front of Gilbert would genuinely enjoy it if there was pain filled screaming in the background instead of this almost emotionless place.
"Jour house?"
"Home, it's more of a castle then a house, and oui I intent to take you there."
"B-
"Now come on, lets go." The god stood up and walked over to the Prussian. "Sorry aboot this, you'll probably faint." The blonde may have said it as an apology but his grin said he wasn't sorry at all … AND WHY WOULD GILBERT FAINT!?
Matthew gently took the albinos hand as the black fog began to swirl around them and just after the last bit of light disappeared …
He fainted.
