After a moment of silence, the reaper spoke again. "I don't think I introduced myself properly last time."- he said. "My name is Reaper, the God of Death." Geno nodded. Although they did fight just a few days ago, he was still willing to talk with him. Maybe even befriend him. What other choice did he have? He was stuck in the Saving Screen all alone. Reaper was his only option.
Geno took out his hand for a handshake. "I'm Geno."- he replied as he tried to shake the reaper's hand. Reaper quickly took his hand away with a nervous chuckle. "Ah, sorry. I don't really do handshakes..."- he rubbed the back of his neck.
Geno raised an non-existing eyebrow in his direction. "Well, that's certainly quite rude, knowing you almost killed me last time you were here."- he said with a huff while his hand reached out for Reaper's. "Come on. Shake my hand." The other skeleton tried to step away. "Wait, I have Death-!" It was too late.
Geno had already taken his hand. Reaper flinched a little. He expected Geno to whither away, just like anything else he touched, but... It didn't happen. The grim reaper was left speechless. "...Touch?"- he whispered.
Geno stared up at the reaper, confused. "What? Why did you go quiet all of the sudden?"-he asked him. Reaper stay silent for a moment. He didn't understand how Geno didn't die when they touched. "...You're alive..."- he finally said.
Geno nodded, although still feeling confused. "Yes, I'm alive. Why wouldn't I be alive?"- he asked the reaper. Reaper blinked once, then repeated his last sentence. "You're alive!"- he exclaimed. He couldn't believe his luck.
A soul that was immune to his Death Touch! And one that was actually capable of beating him in a fight! Reaper began to smile widely as Geno slowly let go of his hand. "Yes, and?"- he asked yet again.
The God of Death began to laugh. He hugged Geno tightly, not caring how confused he was making him. "Oh, my me! You are actually alive! You didn't die!"- he exclaimed happily.
Geno did not return the hug. The poor guy didn't understand what was happening right now. "Uh, what the fuck..?"- he whispered.
Reaper didn't let go of him until minutes later. But when he finally did, that wide, cheerful smile didn't leave his bony face. "I can't believe you're actually alive..."- he said to Geno.
Then he had a thought. How was Geno immune to his Death touch if he was alive? The God of Death looked back at him. "Hey, I know this is very sudden and all, but could I see your soul?"- he asked him.
