I told him one lie
...
When I first saw him, he was confused. He wasn't scared like most, no just confused, after he was done being confused he actually laughed at me...hehe... I have only met very, very few that have ever laughed at me.
Many may say they do, or will...but only a few ever do.
But he...he was different, he laughed then he said something that I never thought I would hear, or to be fair be called.
He called me an "Idiot"
"Wow? You really are an idiot huh?"
Never in my entire time of doing this has someone looked me dead in the eyes and called me an idiot.
I didn't know whether to laugh or be offended, this guy really was somethin' else.
I didn't know how to respond so I just stood there quietly for a moment trying to think of something, when this guy said something else that actually made me chuckle.
"You know you can't do anything to me?
Right?"
I laughed, was this guy really serious?
I knew he couldn't be, but I just played along, it's not everyday that someone would act or joke around like this with me.
"Anything? Well I'm pretty sure I can do
something~ ... But that's not the something
I'm here to do."
He laughed a bit, then again he looked at me dead in the eyes and said-
"Haha...yeah funny...but really you can't do anything to me, and I won't let you do anything either so sorry about that buddy."
Again I laughed, but now I felt as if I had to ask-
"Ha ok then tell me, why can't I do anything
to you?"
"Well since you're so interested, I guess I'll
tell you."
He turned his full body towards me and I could now see the large scar that went across his body, and it still looked like it was bleeding.
"My code...it doesn't let me die... Trust me if I
could die...I would've by now."
"Oh really?"
"Yeah, just, here."
He then stuck out his hand.
And I honestly was a bit surprised.
"I've heard the stories, and I have a feeling I
know how this works soooo, go ahead."
"Are you sure? You're ready?"
"Yep, pretty sure buddy."
"Hehe, ok...you know, I haven't even got your
name yet."
"Well then let me introduce myself:
The names Geno"
Geno, a bit of an odd name but definitely not the strangest I have ever heard.
I smirked as I began to introduce myself to, and stuck my arm out.
"I'm Reaper-
I stopped, I didn't know what to do.
I was shaking his hand...he...he was actually holding my hand. I never felt this before...not like this...I didn't know what was going on. So I just stood there, with his hand in mine.
"Uh...hey...you gonna let me go?"
I snapped out of it after he said that. I looked and I was still holding his hand. I hesitantly let go, and all I could say was.
"Uh yeah yeah I'll- I-I'm um..."
"You ok Reaper?"
"Er, yes...yes"
I was not ok, this isn't normal, it shouldn't be happening.
Geno obviously realized my strange behavior and laughed again.
"Why are you so surprised?"
"Huh? What?"
"I mean...I know I'm not the only one like
this."
I knew he was right, Ink and Error could probably touch me and be fine. But this guy was just some guy, he wouldn't know them, right?
...
That's when he surprised me again.
"You know...uh Error right."
"Error?"
"Is that not his name?"
"Uh...yeah...yeah it is... Wait how do you-"
"Error...Error is like another me... But he's
different..."
"Another you?"
"I have died before...in a way atleast, I always
come back though. Error was just a fluke, he's
me but he has his own life...probably... He
has his own personality...probably... He's just
me but different...probably..."
I was still confused but I kinda understood what I was being told.
This was Error before Error, in some way.
He's just what Error was, but he's his own thing, not Error I guess. I understood as much as I could. But that being said I did have a few questions, well more like one for the time being.
"So...you always come back?.."
"Never haven't"
"Do you think that eventually...you'll maybe
stop?"
He looked at me and sighed a bit, then smiled.
"Yes...probably...but maybe not...but
probably... I've almost looked forward for
that day, that day when I just don't return..."
"Why are looking forward to that? It'll be your
end, trust me anyone that thinks that way-"
"In the end will realize they have something to
live for? Realize they have something to stay
here for?"
He said that as he looked around the empty black space me and him were standing in. He then looked at me again.
"When all your life is just empty space...with
death, dust, and blood as your only
connection to anything...trust me when
that's all you have... There isn't much to live
for."
I laughed after he said that, and he grumbled.
"What's so funny?"
"Do you really have to ask?"
I stopped laughing and looked at him, still smiling a bit.
"What the hell do you think my life is full of? I
mean really that's just about all it is."
He thought about it for a few moments and then he laughed, making me laugh again.
"Hahaha, yeah now that you mention, I
probably should've realized that."
"Haha, yeah maybe"
Eventually we both stopped laughing, and that's when I had an idea.
"How...how about this, since we're both so
lonely...how about I take you out of this
place?"
"Huh?"
"You'll stay by me, go where I go most of the
time."
"Reaper hold-"
I felt myself start to smile.
"I mean it's not like it's any less death but
atleast you won't be lonely you know?"
"Reaper-"
"And hey I won't be-"
"Reaper, stop!"
Geno said sternly, as I then stopped talking...and smiling. Geno looked sad, almost like he felt bad.
"Reaper I can't leave this place..."
I wasn't surprised, and again smiled.
"I expected as much, and trust me you won't
have to worry-"
"Reaper I've been taken out of this place
before and every time I have, I've
disappeared..."
I then began to pick up on the fact that he was worried...and scared, this only confirmed more when he then looked at me with a slight amount of horror residing on his face.
I was a bit disappointed, but I just sighed and smiled.
"If you're so insistent...then fine."
"Fine?"
"If you won't come with me, then you better
be ready for when I come and see you.
Because I'm coming weather you like it or
not~"
I smirked and he chuckled a bit.
"Was that meant to be a dirty joke?"
"Hehe, maybe"
"I guess...since I'm stuck with you, I'm stuck
with your shit joke's to?"
"I do have shit jokes."
"Oh god"
He turned away from me and sat down, I went over and sat down next to him, and we just talked for a while... Well I talked and he snarkily commented some times...
"Wanna hear some jokes?"
"No"
"What's brown and sticky?"
"Shut up"
"Hehehe...
Fine..."
