Death's P.O.V.
Today as always I have to reap the souls of both monsters and humans. This job always makes me bone tired. Ha. Luckily I already reaped almost every soul I have to, only one is left. I teloport to the last location and it's pretty dark. It sends chills down my spine. Oh well. I search what seems to be an endless void for hours until I finally come across the shattered soul. "So, have any last words?" I asked. The person looked at me with tears in their eyes. Normally I would laugh at this sight but I could only feel pity for them.
Geno's P.O.V.
I heard a voice behind me and quickly turned around. It was a skeleton with a black cloak on. "W-who are you?" I stuttered as I wiped the tears off. I received no response for a while. It was silent for a few minutes until the unknown skeleton spoke. "Why are you crying?" He asked with symthy in his eyes. "Nothing important, just some past memories." I said, hoping he would leave me alone. He sat down next to me while responding, "Care to tell?" I didn't see why not, I mean, it's lonely here and I can't really talk to anyone about this. "Fine then." He smiled for some reason. I begin to tell him about everything. About how my brother died, the resets, the never ending pain, and for some reason I told him how I felt. I guess I really needed to talk about me feelings. I let some tears fall down while I was talking. I guess I couldn't help it. He tried to to stop my tears from falling but he seemed... afraid. He tried to comfort me, telling me it was going to be alright but I knew it wasn't going to get any better. I couldn't help it anymore and I cried on his shoulder for who knows how long. I just couldn't help it because of all the memories flooding back once again as if to haunt me.
Death's P.O.V.
I watched as he kept on crying on my shoulder. I don't know how but I felt his pain. I couldn't even imagine the pain he went through. I wanted to hug him but I was scared he would turn to dust the minute I touched him. "It's okay. I can't even begin to imagine the pain you went through. I would probably feel the same if I had to see my brother die in front of me because of a heartless killing demon." I barely managed to say those words as I felt my soul feeling heavy. Even if I was a reaper or a sadist, I still felt bad. I don't know why. After a while of crying apologized, "Sorry I guess even after talking I still felt terrible." "It's okay. I don't mind" I replied. "Sorry I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Geno. What's your name?" He asked. I thought for a while. If I told him that I'm a Reaper or the God of Death, how would he react? Either way, he will find out soon so I guess I have to tell the truth. "The name's Death." I said feeling a bit worried as I rubbed my skull (Goodbye logic). There was silence. Not a single thing was heard until "So let me guess, you're a reaper aren't you?" He said calmly. "Yes." How is he so damn calm! Well now that I think about it, he must've gone through hell since he had a glitch and that cut across his chest. "We're you are to reap my soul?" ..... I couldn't answer that. The first time I felt something different was the time I had to reap their soul. I didn't want Geno to go but if I don't he could be hurt more. "I don't know honestly. I thought I was but-" I was cut off by Geno who said,"I was waiting for this day." He said with a smile. "I've gotten tired of watching him die over and over again." He looked over at me with a wide smile. He really did want to die. He wanted to end his suffering but I just couldn't.....
