Authors Note: okay! So I think this chapter will be better.. Yeah.. Lol.. Enjoy!💖

Part 2

Happiness fills my brain like a sledgehammer to a watermelon. Knees buckling I stumble; wings contracting to hover I only loose more balance. I know I can't feel pain but I still fear it. "Eeeek!" I squeal as strong arms capture me. "What on earth? Damn, you must have two left feet. You nearly knocked people over with your wings!" My rescuer implies. Shaking from head to toe I roll my shoulders, causing my wings to form a gown around me. Fixing my my bun to ensure my long black curls don't escape I reply. "Entirely my fault, I wasn't paying attention, I'm Gevoelens Reaper." Giving my hand he takes it and briskly shakes it. "Pleasure to meet you Gevoelens, I'm Life Green, my dad just gave me the position." Trying to smile and be nice I say in my lightest tone as possible. "How awful, and the cruelty is mine." Retreating my hand I realize I said the wrong words. "My apologizes? I'm not used to kind words? And smiling.." Nervous I wring my hands. Startled and understanding; he nods and takes my arm. "It's alright, adleast you make a amusing conversation, rather your sister never shuts up." Chuckling I smirk and walk with him. "So I did just travel two and a half days for business talk, what are your plans on balance?" I ask seriously.

-A Short Time After-
After speaking matters out with Life, he insists, "I must take you to dinner Gevo! Stop being so cruel! You have to live sometime.. Don't be so-" cutting him off I whip my head to him and snap "DON'T you dare say-" cutting me off he says, "DULL!" Laughing he nudges me as if we've known eachother for ages. "Well I am dead, no need to put it so blankly." I pretend to be upset. "Wow, you've got the longest damn legs I've ever seen!" He grabs my foot bringing it to his face. Bewildered I spin to not fall off the booth. "What the hell?" I ask amused and utterly mortified at why my legs are fascinating. Life. Always has to be happy and fun. So I guess it's normal. After examining my foot he kisses my knee and sets it down under the table. Blushing madly I hide my face into the dessert menu. "Partial to sweets are we?" He asks obviously excited about my reaction. "Umm.. I can't really taste food.. Cuz I'm a corpse but.. I guess if I was alive I would be obsessed with chocolate? I'd probably turn into chocolate.. That's what mortals tell their children. Quite dreadful, would not want to be consumed for being delicious." I'm being serious; but Life bellows into a fit of laughter. Speaking between breathes he says. "I-love-how-serious you-always look-Ahahahahahhahahhaha." Curious to why his eyes dilate when laughing I narrow my eyes. When people are alive they blush red.. I blush too, but it's always so lifeless and darker red. Poking his cheek and feelings it's thermal warmth I gasp. Retracting my hand as soon as I see it. When I touch his blush I feel... Embarassed. Snatching his hand and holding it.. I feel... Compassion... And looking into his eyes I feel.. Understanding? Thinking out loud I let go of his hand a whisper. "Fear and understanding?" Snapping out of his giggles he looks at me confused. Trying to smile again I look at him. "Your eyes are the darkest blue I've ever seen Gevo." Brushing my hair out of my face he caresses my jawline with his knuckle. Smiling he kisses my nose and then my forehead. Bewildered I stare, mortified. "Oh..um..uh..eh.." Is all I can make out before he hands me a flower that's glowing. "A flower?" I ask. "Not just any flower Gevoelens. It's a life flower." Cheshire grinning he hands to me. Kissing my knuckles where it captures the stem of the rose. "Thank you."

-later-
Hugging me goodbye and kissing my cheek. "Goodbye Gevo, see you again soon." Winking; Life snaps and disappears. Gulping a huge clump of something I sigh. Rolling shoulders I spread my wings ready to embark my return journey. Placing two fingers on where his lips had been; pursing my lips I launch off the building'a roof.

-Almost home(two days later)-
Reaching the gloomy clouds I break through the barrier. Smoke instantly hits my nostrils. Looking around wide eyes I gasp. Choking on the smoke. "What happened!" I yell to the realm. Nothing. Silence. What is this?
Protecting the flower so it doesn't wilt I search.
