Error's POV
Hours pass before the front opens and the kids walk in. I wave to them and they smile at me.
"Welcome home, Papa! Dad's out with Uncle Paps right now, but he'll be back soon!"Shino says
I smile as Goth and Raven hug me. Then they go to their rooms before leaving with Shino to see Lovespoon. Then my phone rings with a call from Reaper.
"Is now better?"He asks when I answer
"YeP, I wAs aBoUt t0 caLl y0u. HoW iS iT g0iNg wiTh y0ur br0tHeR?"I reply
"Pretty good, he is-WAIT! How did you know? You better not be spying!"He says, going from cheerful to alarmed in seconds.
"No, n0. Of c0urSe n0t. Sh1n0 t0lD m3 wHeN sHe g0t h0m3."I say
"Oh, how nice of her to call you. Was it a FaceTime call?"He asks
"It'S cALl3d iN-p3rS0n."I say
"YOU'RE HOME?"He shouts
"Mhmmm..."I hum
"Aren't you a few months early?"He asks
"ThInGs cHaNgEd s0 yEs, i aM eArLy."I say
"What's wrong?"Paps asks
"Glitchy's back early!"He says quietly
"Looks like we will have to crash-course my advice for you."
"Shit..."He says
"I cAn hEaR yOu."I say
"I'll call you back, Glitchy."He says, hanging up
I chuckle, going to take a bath and relax, letting out a sigh of relief. Then I get a message as I am undressing that the kids are doing sleepovers. Then it gets darker suddenly as I sit in the tub and candles dimly lit. Then a scroll appears from Destiny. There seems to be a slight complication with our deal. I've been informed that your soul has been sold to another being in my realm in the time that the anomaly known as Shattered had you captured. This being is...very negative and against relationships of any sort. I will try to fix this but until then, you cannot move forward with your desires.-Destiny
What?!
I tear up the scroll, tossing it aside. In the time that I spent for that deal, this could've been sorted out! I could've used that as my test of dedication instead by getting my soul free to HAVE that future! Now what am I supposed to do?
I wanted to move forward! Spend time being affectionate and propose! Is it even right to do that when there no longer anything it's building up to?
I check my soul curiously and sure enough, it's in a cage. A silver one with hints of blue but that's it.
Then the candles flicker and blue rose petals landing everywhere, scattered on the floor. I climb out, drying off and putting a robe on. Then another thought strikes me: How do I tell Reaper that my soul isn't free? I start hearing his humming and go into the hallway, seeing him come upstairs with a bright smile.
"Oooh, welcome home Glitchy!"He coos, hugging me gently
His wings flap gently to keep his feet from touching the floor.
"R-ReApEr-"
"I've missed you so much, my sweet Glitchy."He coos, kissing my cheek
He's really looking to do something and he has mentioned plans...Would that be right? When I know what I do?
Well...He did wait three months for me...He deserves some reward...
"You are WEAK to give into this..To give into PLEASURE...Especially from a virtue-less fool like him that puts pleasure above all under the guidance of his feelings! Completely unsuited for those with virtue!"A voice growls
I glance around but don't see anyone. I wrap my arms around Reaper, finding security in holding him closer.
"Didn't you hear me? I, Stoico, demand that you unhand him! I will not have one of my souls tainted by the likes of him!"A voice growls
Ah, so that's what Destiny meant. I was given to the being based on the philosophy against any sort of pleasure or attachment...Lovely. Welp, this can take a while....But I can't let it stop me.
"I mIsSeD yOu, ReApEr."I say, placing my hand on his cheek.
He leans into it with a smile. I lean in, kissing him as he scoops me up, carrying me into the dimly-lit bedroom. He's certainly making an effort to be romantic...
I refocus on him as he lays me on the bed gently, sprinkling kisses on me. Then he smiles at me warmly.
"Look at him clinging onto you, tangled in attachments! Does such a fool know any self-restraint? He will doom you all!"
Ugggh, SHUT UP!
"Are you okay, Glitchy? You have that look on your face when voices are getting too loud."He asks
I snap out of my thoughts and sigh, shaking my head.
"OnE wOn'T sHuT uP."I say
"And why do you have the right guy caged still? Shattered is it? Now there's a strong soul! No attachments but intelligently manipulates the emotions this fool is led by to get greater power! Very calculating and wise! Release him now!"
I feel a chill go down my spine at the idea of freeing Shattered...after everything he put me through in that cell....I feel my chest where he shot me through the back. There's still a scar there...If I let him out, what will he do to my family? To me? I can only expect the worst.
"GrEaT, tHeY'rE a ShAtTeReD sImP."
"Well then focus on me, Glitchy. I'm here and nothing is going to happen. You must be tired and we're overdue for some cuddles so just close your eyes and I'll make you as comfy as possible."He says
I smile, snuggling close to him. I hear his soulbeat and smile wider, finding it soothing as he holds me close. I shut my eyes, snuggling him happily.
"I lOvE yOu, ReApEr."I tell him
He starts humming a soft tune in response, lulling me to sleep.
"Fine, I'll do it myself."
"Soon you'll see, Glitchy. And you'll be the happiest glitch around."Reaper coos to me softly before continuing to hum.
I grip him tighter, feeling a bit conflicted about what I heard before dozing off.
At least I'm home....right?
