Don't cry

Tyler bit his lip at first. He reached his hand out and started to play with Ethan's pretty blue hair. This caused the smaller male to blush but look, so confused. Emotions started to overwhelm him.

"T-Tyler I don't understand? D-Do you mean me? Tyler no I just. . . you can't have fallen in love with me" Ethan said as he started to back away from Tyler.

This caused the boys to just stand in the break room in silence. Neither one of them moved- they were both scared. Both men were scared that they'd loose the other. Both because, they loved the other man so freaking much. It felt as if they've known the other for a life time- at this point they probably have.

"I could have, and I have" Tyler said in the calmest tone he could muster up. He walked forward and wrapped his arms around the smaller male. Soon Ethan was nuzzling his head into his chest- confirming that he probably liked Tyler back. "Will you. . . be my boyfriend?"

Ethan's face lit up and he nodded quickly, "y-yes! Yes yes I will date you! I'll be your boyfriend!" Ethan giggled out. Ethan's hands grasped to Tyler's shirt tightly. Fabric was stretched by his much Ethan was pulling on it.

Tyler was over the moon, not able to express how he was feeling. This dumb grin came over his face- grinning is painful. Then he scooped up Ethan, spinning him around, "mine"

This was a whole new feeling to the younger boy, who had never had a romantic partner in life or death. No one was very interested in the blue haired beauty. But now, someone was. That's all that mattered to Ethan.

Soon, the two of them left the break room, hand in hand. Ethan looked up at Tyler, biting his lip.

"But, if you think we can just leave- we can't" he started, grabbing Tyler's attention, "Because the boss will want to see how are relationship goes for a while- find the paper work that says we are perfect matches- and I don't want to leave until Mark's found his soulmate"

"Don't worry- nor do I" Tyler said, rubbing his thumb against the younger boy's hand, "I could never leave him without me being by his side. Because, Mark would fuck up"

As they walk back into the office space, Mark's eyes widened. He knew it! He knew they would get together! Like am excitable fan girl, Mark bounces up and down, "guys! I knew it!"

"Knew what?" Tyler teased, smirking at him.

"Oh shut up Tyler- that you two would get together!" He said, leaping out of his chair and hugging them both, "my boys! My beautiful boys!"

"Dad, stop it" Ethan joked, "you're embarrassing me and you have a client!"

Mark smiled wildly when he called him dad. Joke or not- he started to see Ethan as his son. It was a shame that he couldn't actually raise Ethan- that would be a dream come true! Not only would he have a cute son- but also a son he can teach the ways of the gay to!

They soon had to get back to work. Tyler was professional compared to the other two. Mark had really taught him how to keep calm because otherwise he would have snapped his neck by now.

Mark was a charmer- that's for sure. He was a smooth talking, attractive gay man. Everyone wanted to spend more time with him and he was finally able to get two more people on the floor- Matt and Steph.

Matt was a complete goof ball and would use his gaming logic to make people smile. He had wild theories that, though seemed crazy, everyone would listen to.

Then there was his wife, Stephanie. She wasn't as loud as Matt and didn't have as big of a personality but she was a pleasure to work with. She's organised and plans everything in advance. She started to help everyone create a steady income of people and speed up the process. They had all of time to work but- speed is key.

"So," Mark started, turning to look at Matt and Steph, "you know you've proven your love to each other by now, right? Why don't you go down there already?" Mark asked, as he's been wondering this for a while.

"Well you see- we just love working here. Ah the people you can meet and talk to is just amazing!" Matt explained, "None of us knew we would end up working as 'Grim Reapers' when we died but here we are- sorting out the dead together! Isn't that incredible?"

"Fantastic" Stephanie chuckled, "I mean, woah. This is an amazing job! We can work together every 'day' and hear about other people's lives and stories. Their bodies alone can tell us how they died!"

"Ah! That's a great way to think about it!" Mark laughed, then took a deep breath, "I know this may be a unspoken rule not to ask but. . . how did you two die?"

Matt and Steph looked at each other, then back at Mark, "Matt, do you remember. .  . ?"

"I mean, yeah I do" he started, leaning back in his chair, "basically I was an internet personality. When that started getting big, Stephanie joined me for the live streaming and cons I went to. So, we were doing a panel together and it was going well. I was, probably, being funny and everyone seemed to enjoy the show until. . ."

". . . until?" Mark questioned.

"I heard a bang, and then nothing"
