Brook X GN Reader || I'm The Grim Reaper

Chapter 14

    Scarlet slammed the bathroom door open, revealing herself wearing a light blue cat hoodie and some pants. The hood had cat ears on it. "Why is everything you own so ridiculous. Seriously." Chase looked confused and Scarlet walked towards the computer chair. "I washed my clothes. They're drying in there. This is the least stupid thing I could find." She sat down in the chair awkwardly. "D-did you think before you put that on? You shouldn't wear random clothes from the guy you just met. It'll make you seem like my girlfriend." Scarlet laughed a little. "Pppffttt, that'll never happen!" -10 HP

    Chase gave her a dirty look. "Not that it matters to me, but why exactly did you have that reaction?" "Being in a relationship probably means love, and love is inconvenient. (Foreshadowing wkhewjhd) A chemical reaction, that if I ever had the misfortune of experiencing, I could easily reason myself out of it. You'd have to be a complete idiot to not think about it rationally."

   Chase was a little hurt by this comment. "Wow... How... Fucking naive." Scarlet was shocked by his outburst. "H-hey, don't be so emotional. You're smart, right? Logically, it's just like coming over a fear of heights." "...and you're speaking from experience?" "Well, no, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to-" "then shut up." Scarlet had never really seen Chase so upset. He stood up from the table. "I'm going to bed. We're going to stop by the office tomorrow. Just keep your mouth shut until then."

   Scarlet and Chase walked down the streets, neither of them saying anything. 'Man, he's so moody. This guy is too emotional! Why would he get offended over that?!' Scarlet put her hands on either side of her head. 'But most of all, why do I feel so bad?! I don't give a shit about this guy, I'm just using him!' She looked up to the sky, hands still in the same place, letting out a silent groan. 'It's not my fault! How was I supposed to know it'd upset him?!' They kept walking for a little while until Scarlet got the courage to speak. "C-Chase." Chase stopped and turned around the face her. Scarlet was trying to smile kindly, but it was not working and she made a weird, strained face, like she was holding in a fart. Chase cringed at the sight. "I-I-I'm s-sorry ab... About y-yesterday." Chase tried to stifle a laugh, but it didn't work, and he burst out in a fit of laughter.

    When he calmed down, he rubbed his eye. "Really, what is with that strained face?" "W-wait, don't laugh, that took a lot of effort to say.." "I know, I know. Despite everything, even someone like you apologizes to me." They both looked at the sky and a bit of wind brushed past them. "Scarlet. I'll tell you something about me."

   Chase led Scarlet to an alley, and they both sat against one of the walls. "So, why are we... Here?" "..I wanted to explain my reaction from yesterday to you. So I took us into this alley." He had an accomplished smirk on his face. "We always end up here, somehow." "You said you wanted to know more about me, right?" "Ah, yeah." 'I just wanted to know how you got that X, but if you're going to give me free information...' "Okay.." Chase, said, before falling silent.

    "This happened.. A while back." Chase looked back to a late spring, where he had on khakis and a light blue button-up shirt. He also had a leather bag around his shoulder, and the same blonde hair. He stood on a path and there were bright colors of nature all around him, including bright green trees and grass and flowers around him.
