My eye lights are taped shut. Focusing on my other senses. My hand brushing against toriel's soft fur, and her faint breathing echoing throughout the portal. I could hear reaper too. I felt my chest throb in agony, each beat harder than the last, I squeeze tori's hand every squeeze felt weaker as I lost health. 0.3/0.5, 0.2/0.5, and 0.1/0.5. I could feel myself dusting, I couldn't bare to look. Suddenly, silence.
I still stood there with my eyes locked, tears barely avoiding escape.
"Sunshine?" Whispered within my ears.
I slowly looked through my sockets. "Am I alive?" I squeak.
"Look around." Tori orders me politely. I obey, I gaze around to find a beautiful scenery embedded with flowers. I let out an astonished gasp. "Oh my stars." I mumbled. Eye sockets wide open, reaper steps forward with a gleeful smile however, I sensed a hint of sadness coming from him. I looked down as I know I would regret asking this. "Are we still able to be together?" I asked reluctantly. He examined me in shock shortly followed with a grin. "You're telling me you like hanging with me?" He asked playfully. I covered the red scarf over half of my face. And nod slowly. Instantaneously, he went quiet. I lift my skull towards him, seeing him tainted in a gorgeous deep teal. It makes me gleam too.
I felt a boney hand drizzle against my arm.
"Can I?" I don't respond in an Audible way and just touch his hand.
We was locked in place for a while until he broke the silence. "Your- your not dust?" He said amazed. I chuckle. "Well, it's not the first time I've danced with death, right?" He smiles, a pure smile. I would never think the face of death would be so innocent- looking. He clutched me, tight. "I thought you was going to die-" he stuttered holding back a wall of tears. I wheeze. "I will if you keep Hugging me so tightly, Remember I'm literally on a fraction of hp." He lightly pushed me away and cleared his throat. "Right- sorry." He said nervously. I just gave him a reassuring smile. Toriel steps forward. "Geno, I am so glad you made out of that place alive, although you are incredibly injured. Would you like to come back to my realm to recover?"
Her words are so chaste is astonished me. Can such a being exist? Just look at her. She wears a alluring green and yellow dress, the colours correspond with each other splendidly and it flows like a calm sea. Her aura lights up the room and her touch is ever so gentle. Flowers are like apart of her aroma they bloom with every step she takes. She's biblical version of Snow White, bending birds at her will so they land on her shoulders and forearms at the perfect moment. I guess you could say she really brings the life out of ya. Yeah, i know.

As I am about to enter her realm reaper keeps his distance. "Are you not coming?" I ask turning my head towards him. He replies my gaze with a sad stare. "Death is forever forbidden to be seen in the realm full of life."
How obscure. I take steps backwards so I land in front of him. "I'll- I'll be back for you, okay." I looked at him sincerely, attempting to reassure him.

"Okay." He squinted his endless eye sockets at me. He waved me goodbye and I stepped into the realm.
Stars. I've never seen anything like this, and I doubt I ever will again. It was so bright yet relaxing. Trees flooded the area, the leaves shined an emerald green. She signals me to follow her into her home. i tried. My head suddenly felt so heavy. It just all went blank. The next minuet, I woke up in a very cloudy bed. I groaned. "What just happened?" Barley opening my eyes. I twist my head to the right to see his dark wings. "Reaper?" I mumble. "Just rest sunshine." He offered softly, holding his own hand while leaning on the edge of my bed. Tori enters the room with some hot chai. "You took an awful fall." She implied while sitting down next to the bed, handing me the cup of chai. "Did I black out? If I did how did you know, reaper." He stared at me cautiously. "I could sense it. Your hp dropped to a dangerously low point. I didn't know if you would make it." He announced to me, full of sincerity. I scowled at him. "You idiot!, you-" I begin coughing. Tori reaches out. "Take it easy." She held my hand softly. I clear my through and continue. "I thought you was never supposed to come here, what if you get in trouble." Rambling on until he cut me off. "I don't care." He interrupted bluntly. "What?" I said surprised at his tone.
"Paps was the only one really into this- grim reaper thing. I'm to lazy to do any of that. Besides, I have something more attentive to care for anyway." He then gave me this- look. I can't describe it. Oh my stars. Did he mean me? Am I the one that's important to him? I sat there internally screaming for approximately a minuet, not notice how steaming hot my face had become. Tori was quietly snickering at us.
"Oh you two." She remarked, swishing her hands up and down at us. Reaper taking notice and pulling his black hood over his face. It was amusingly cute if I'm honest. All three of us talked for a while, chatting about unnecessary but funny topics That we could think of.

Evening dawned on us and we was riddled with exhaustion. Tori wished us both-? Goodnight. She left a delicious two butterscotch pies at the end of the bed as she exited the room.
The both of us sat in an awkward silence. What one of us would speak first? I guess I'll say something. "You just gonna sit there?" How nice of me. He gave a tiresome smile. "I'll sit here for as long as I need to." Why does he have to be so charming? "It's a twin size bed you know." His tiresome grin grew large. "Heh. What are you saying?" I slightly blushed and averted my eyes from his. "I think you know." He spent no time messing about and straight away leaped beside me. "Thank you for inviting me to bed sunshine." I grunt. "Don't make it weird."
I close my eyes and crease. It felt like a cloud, laying on his feathers felt like sleeping on a ton of high-quality silk. Unconsciously, I feel my head rub into his angelic wings. This time, he chose not to say anything except pull me closer. My skull is now squished against his manubrium. I could hear his soul. Beating. Very fast too. His soul beat rhythm calms me like an infant. My other hand slithers onto his sternum as I fall deeper into the pit of slumber.  Reaper clutches onto my shoulder,holding onto me firmly. I could smell his cologne, a strong typical man's cologne. Eventually close sleeping became spooning. To be fair, I didn't hate it. His wings alone are a thick blanket of warmth.
The sun soon rose, reaper held my hand to his mouth. "Mornin' sunshine." He said in a deep  voice implying he has just woken up. I relax my hand signalling I have given him permission for him to continue, (NO SMUT ALLOWED HERE) he rested his chin on my shoulder, his breathing ticking my neck. I may have blushed a little. I shrug my shoulder and groaned. "Stop that tickles." A give a small snicker. All I revive is a effortless grunt followed by him hugging me tighter.
I decided it's finally time to get off my lazy bum, I'll visit Tori. I plunge myself out of position and sit up, rubbing my eye sockets. But someone pulls me back down. "What are you doing?" I asked annoyed. "Getting warm again."
"Right..." I rolled my eye lights. "I don't know if  gods need to eat but I do." I exclaim, forcing myself up again.
"Fineeee." He whines. What a baby. "You know we're still gonna talk about last night right." He signs me a flirtatious smile. Shocks shivers down my spine which energised me to leap- no sprint out of bed. "I- I NEED FOOD, SEE YOU LATER- BYE!" I very nervously exclaimed and swiftly rushed out the room.
