Chapter 22: Date with Death
Well...you were not going to be able to go back to sleep anyway knowing Reaper is there "fine" you mumbled "let me get changed and...I dunno maybe go to your universe for a fancy meal or something" you said tiredly, Reaper chuckled "oh no...you can't come to my universe...mortal's aren't welcome, we can try going to one of your human restaurants" he replied, you didn't like the idea.
"Uh yeah...people would find it slightly odd to what they understand as cosplay as a grim reaper in a fancy restaurant, we can always hang out here...I can maybe cook something nice or we can watch some movies and cuuuuu-" you said now realising you couldn't even touch Reaper "uuuuup...drinks" you finished a blush on your face.
Reaper sighed "it's okay...I understand, you...probably wouldn't be comfortable dating me afterall I am quite grim" he replied, you frowned "no...I don't think your grim at all" you said a smile on your face "come on...let's watch something" you said excited as you rushed downstairs, you were determined to show Reaper you cared.
Reaper slowly floated down as you put some popcorn on and began searching for a movie "hmm...what do you like?" you asked picking up a few DVD's "I got some Disney movies, horror, romance...a lot of anime" you listed as you picked up one of the Disney movies titled 'Hercules' "this one might be fun to watch...it's kinda like your world...gods and goddesses" you said.
Reaper stared silently "uh...I dunno...I like drama..." he said you hummed you didn't have a lot of drama DVD'S, thank the lord for Netflix, "it's cool we can find something on Netflix" you said as you turned on the TV and grabbed the remote, switching to Netflix and searching through the drama section.
"Have a look while I go check the popcorn" you said handing him the remote and walking into the kitchen, Reaper just floated...he noticed the look on your face...you were so excited to watch the movie you picked, he picked up the 'Hercules' DVD case and giving it a read over.
You soon returned with the bowl of popcorn as you spotted Reaper inserting the DVD in, "oh...you changed your mind?" you asked as Reaper gave a smile "let's see if it can take the death out of me" he said, as you giggled you sat on the couch and patted the side, "come sit" you said.
Reaper gave a small blush as he sat down you took the remote from him and pressed play "oh...I should warn you, I might just kill you with my singing" you said, Reaper chuckled slightly "doubt it, I'm the death of the party" he said causing you to giggle finally quieting down when the first musical number started.
After an hour or so the movie was over and you gave a soft yawn, you were so tired..."okay...I'm heading to bed" you said "uh...c-can I ask a question?" Reaper asked "sure..." you replied tiredly, "w-who's your favourite character...in that movie?" Reaper asked, you yawned "well when I was young my favourite was Pegasus cause he was so awesome, but now...mmm, maybe Zeus...Hades is quite fun though too" you replied.
"Why is it that...death is portrayed as the bad guy?" Reaper asked which made you pause finally understanding why he was asking these questions "your not a bad guy Reaper...I understand what you have to do and I respect that, I'm...sorry if I made you think that you were bad" you said looking away "because you are far from that...if anything I'm the bad one..." you added causing Reaper to jump.
"YOU BAD!" he yelled "never...you ain't got one bad bone in your body" he said, you glared "if your gonna say your bad then I will say I'm bad too" you declared, Reaper sighed "I want you to be honest...do ya...even love me?" he asked, you frowned and looked away "...not...really, it's not you Reaper it's me, I need to get past the fact that I can't touch you, hug you...k-kiss...you" you said a dark blush on your face.
Reaper smirked "oh?" he asked as you glared "don't think of anything" you said pouting as Reaper chuckled "when you get old and die, I'm going to reap you" he said, you stared "you can try...but your gonna have to catch me" you teased.
Reaper sighed "thank you..." he said making you pause "well...I better get home, sure my bro is getting mad that I'm not doing my job" Reaper said beginning to float off, you stared for awhile "Reaper...wait" you said making him stop "uh yeah?" he asked, you stared at him dead serious "in...your world...is there a...heaven or is everyone...you know...is my-" you said before Reaper interrupted "no...he's not...trust me I'd know...if...I do find him...heh, maybe I'll try and bring him back to you" he replied.
You gave him a small smile "thanks..." you said yawning "well night Reaper" you added heading upstairs, "night...Y/N" Reaper whispered before going through the portal back home.
Gosh it's so short I'm sorry, Y/N can't really do anything physical to Reaper...but the date was cute.
I can imagine most dates being short.
Anyways we are heading back to *bird squawks* SHUT UP!
