Chapter 3: Brand New Partners
"Oy, Justin, are we there yet?"
A blond priest parked his dune buggy in front of an apartment building. He got off his vehicle and opened a coffin attached to the rear of his buggy. "Yes, Giriko-san. We're here."
A brown haired guy came out of the coffin. "Good. It's dark and stuffy inside, but at least I don't have to 'cuddle' you again," he chuckled, recalling their last ride together. The buggy was small and after a few meters Justin had to sit on Giriko's lap. They didn't really enjoy it, but Giriko was glad that Justin's body protected him from the cold wind.
The priest rolled his eyes and walked away. He put on his earphones and turned the music on. Giriko rushed to his side and grabbed Justin's arm. "Don't leave me here! And where the hell are we?" he said as they both enter the building. "It's where I live," Justin replied. "Left wing. Fifth floor." The building was beautiful and well-organized, with stores and restaurants neatly arranged in the ground floor. Nice place, I can stay here, Giriko thought.
"Giriko-san, you must be hungry. Would you like something to eat?" Justin asked. Giriko nodded enthusiastically. He was starving. "Let's get to my apartment first, I'm tired," Justin replied.
Giriko sat down on a one-armed chair in Justin's living room. "Finally I can rest my ass!" he cheered.
Justin's apartment was very neat. The living room was quite small, but the chairs were comfortable. There was a table in the middle of the living room, with a few books and magazines scattered on it. The dining room had a table and 4 chairs and it was connected to the kitchen. Justin picked up phone from a small coffee table in the corner of the living room and called an Italian restaurant. "Uh, yeah, I would like to order a large pizza, please... Uhm, meat lover would be nice... Extra cheese, yeah... And 2 special lasagnas... Extra cheese... Ah... Apartment number 503, on the fifth floor... Thank you."
Giriko could see how nervous Justin was when he called. "Do you always tremble when you're on the phone?" he asked. Justin sighed before he answered. "Well, I don't really like talking to strangers. I'm afraid that I'll do or say something wrong..." Giriko stood up and held the priest's arms. "Hey, why should you be afraid?" he smiled, "That's... Uhm, not like you!" Justin had never seen the chainsaw's sweeter side before, so he was pretty surprised. He blushed as Giriko stared into his eyes. Justin struggled awkwardly to look away, but something inside him told him not to look away. They stared into each other's eyes, unable to look away.
They would've keep on staring if the door bell didn't ring. "I'll get it," Justin spoke nervously, breaking the eye contact. He rushed to the door and opened it. "Ah, Sid-kun, we were just resting for a while, there's no need to pick us up. What brings you here? Would you like to come in? And whose suitcase is that?" he asked politely. Sid handed over the suitcase to Justin. "I found it in the middle of an extremely messy room... Which is Giriko's room. Oh yeah, Shinigami-sama also told me that tomorrow is your day off and you may rest now. Well, I really have to go. I'm sorry I can't come in. Bye!"
Justin closed the door. He was turning around when suddenly the bell rang again. "Yes?" he said as he opened the door. A small Asian girl with electric blue hair stood in front of him. "A large meat lover pizza and 2 lasagnas, all extra cheese, for apartment number 53," she said. "That was fast," the priest replied. He took the food, paid it, gave the girl a generous tip, said thank you, and closed the door.
Giriko turned the TV on and joined Justin on his bed. Justin opened the pizza box (he saved the lasagna for breakfast) and sliced it. He prayed and ate a slice. Giriko took 2 slices and ate it all at once. "Pizza and TV... Awesome. Hey Blondie, do you have any cold beer here?" he asked. The priest didn't reply. The chainsaw sighed loudly. He realized that Justin couldn't hear him because of his earphones, so he grabbed Justin's soda from his hand. "Oh no, you're not gonna drink that!" Justin yelled. Giriko grinned teasingly. "If I don't do that I won't get your attention, Father!" They fought over the soda until they bursted into sudden laughter together.
The rest of the night went quite well, until they realized that Giriko had nowhere to sleep. Justin only had 1 bedroom in his apartment, and none of his chairs can be used to sleep. Justin had to make a hard decision. "Um, Giriko-san, I've decided," – Justin took a deep breath – "that since you have nowhere to sleep, you should sleep in my room... If you want to..." he suggested. He closed his eyes and waited for a response. "Oh well, I'm fine with it," Giriko replied.
Justin went into the bathroom inside his bedroom and changed his clothes. So I'll be sleeping beside him tonight... God, please help me through the night, he prayed as he brushed his teeth. When he came out of the bathroom he got a great surprise. "Wh-what the...?" Justin squeaked. Giriko was lying on his bed with nothing but shorts on. "Oh hey Justin," Giriko greeted seductively, "I like your outfit. Black shirts and blue shorts, that's nice," he grinned. Justin blushed upon the sight. "Gi-giriko! This is very inappropriate! Put your shirts on!" he commanded. Giriko moaned as he put his shirts on. "Too bad, I like sleeping with no shirts on."
Justin turned off the lights and lay next to Giriko. "Good niiiight," he yawned. Suddenly, the priest jumped from his bed. "Oh God, I almost forgot to pray!" he panicked. "Do you really have to?" Giriko complained, "I never pray before going to bed before." Justin gasped, he was very shocked. "Well, then, why don't you try it tonight?" he asked. Giriko only laughed and gave him a 'yeah right' look. Unbeknown to him, his attitude hurt Justin. He saw the offended look in Justin's eyes and tried to apologize. "Geez, Justin, I didn't mean to hurt you! I- I'm sorry..." he apologized.
Justin looked at Giriko and smiled, "Apology accepted, my heretic friend," he giggled. "But you ought to seek forgiveness from God from the sins you've made."
The chainsaw smiled back and prayed alongside the guillotine.
Somewhere inside Baba Yaga castle, where 2 women were talking...
"So did you found him?" said the older lady.
"I did. He's currently living with Justin Law, one of the Death Scythes," the younger girl replied. "I believe that they're on a mission together."
"I see... They've become partners, huh... Well, good job, Brianna."
"Thank you, Arachne-sama," the girl grinned. "I will not let you down!"
