Just One Little Touch || AfterDeath DISCONTINUED

Chapter 10 - Dirty Deeds

Also just a reminder, Reaper can touch other monsters from Reapertale because they are all immortal. Including Reaper himself. Remember this, it may help later ;) also thank you to the person who suggested stuff last time. I'm sorry I forgot you name. It helped a lot. Plus this story is almost up to 600 reads!
Normal POV
The two skeletons slept alone in the SAVE screen for hours, not wanting to wake up or leave each other's side. Reaper knew he had to go back to work, after all, without him, how could there be Death?

Geno was stirring in his sleep. He would constantly twist and turn. He began to grunt, waking Reaper up. He sat bolt upright when Geno grunted again. He looked like he was in pain.
"Geno! What's wrong!?" He shouted instinctively. Geno stirred again before he slowly opened his eyes, due to Reaper yelling. Geno smiled and slowly sat up so he was starting into Reaper's eyes.
"Nothing, Reaper. Why?" He asked groggily, rubbing his functional eye socket. Reaper sighed and shook his head, hoping Geno would push.  After a little while Reaper finally stood up and turned so he was looking down at Geno.
"I'm sorry Geno but, I have to get back to work. You know reaping people's souls isn't a thing that's nice to slack on." He told him. Geno looked down at the ground and muttered an okay before Reaper teleported off, leaving Geno all alone in the SAVE screen once again.

Reapers POV
I teleported back to Reapertale knowing I had a job to do. Sure I didn't want to do it but, it has to be done. I snuck into Papyrus's office to get the names of people I had to reap. I had to sneak in because I didn't want to see that hopeless attempt for a brother. I found a massive stack of paper on his desk. I sighed knowing that stack was my list of names. I grumbled grabbing the stack and shoving it into the many folds of my cloak.

I teleported to my first victim, and was about to reap them when, I remembered I had no scythe. So I had to resort to using my death touch to reap them. I never once liked to reap people that way but now that it is the only thing separating Geno and me, It made me hate it more.

I walked over to the female that was now shaking violently in her hospital bed, probably at the sight of me. She seemed to scream, but it was quiet. I let out a dry chuckle as my finger slowly slid down her soul, causing it to shatter, therefore killing the female.

I tucked my hand back into my cloak before teleporting off to my next victim.

Nightmare's POV
"Cross! Get your fucking ass in here!" I yelled, my voice echoing throughout the castles corridors. Cross, being the obedient bitch he was, came racing in.
"What is it, Nightmare?" He asked, bowing before me.  I looked down at him dismissively before letting out a low chuckle.
"Do you know who Reaper is?" I asked, looking at the back of my hand like some teenage girl.

He nodded.
"Of course I know who Reaper is. He is from Reapertale, correct?" He asked me. I nodded as a reply and stood up, off of my throne. Slowly walking over to Cross, I smiled smugly.
"Can you retrieve him for me?" He looked at me confused.
"Why?"
"Because I am ordering you to Cross, and you must obey my orders" I said simply. Cross looked down at the ground before muttering a quiet 'yes'.
"Good."

Reapers POV
I sighed heavily as I slid down an old oak tree. Work was tiring, as usual. My magic was drained and I was completely out of breath. Running around all day trying to get work done, probably wasn't the best idea. To be honest I just wanted to get back home. I wanted to see Geno again. I have left him alone all day. It isn't that long, but for someone like Geno who has been trapped there for years, it must be painful to be left alone again.

I stood up slowly and pat down on my cloak clearing off any grass. Starring up at the sky, I opened a portal, one that would take me to the SAVE screen. I was about to walk through it when someone grabbed my cloak from behind. I small Yelp escaped my teeth as the person behind me turned me around. 
"Who are you?" I asked completely dumbfounded to why they would grab me like that.
"The name's Cross." He snapped back before opening a portal beside him.
"Nightmare has commanded me to come and pick you up." Cross mumbled before chucking me through the White void beside him.

Normal POV
By the time Cross chucked Reaper though the portal his life force was already drained, due to Reaper's magic. He pulled the large sword off his back and pushed it up against Reaper's back so he could push him through without touching him.

The two soon arrived at Nightmares large castle. Cross, being the humble skeleton he was, knocked and waited for an answer before wandering inside. Reaper walked forward, trying to avoid contact with Cross' large weapon. They entered a large room, which held a single throne toward the back of it. It was nothing to special, some gold trimming here and there but other then that it was a plain white.

"I brought him Nightmare." Cross shouted rather cheerfully before walking up to Nightmare and standing beside, on guard, like a dog. Nightmare chuckled and used his tentacles to lower himself down to Reaper's level.
"Hello there~" Reaper smirked, trying to make the best of the situation. He knew that no one could touch him. Nightmare scoffed.
"I need you to do something for me." He muttered, crossing his arms. Reaper looked him dead in the eyes and frowned.
"What is it." He asked sternly, crossing his arms as well. Nightmare grinned and walked circles around Reaper.

"I need you to kill a certain someone." Nightmare spoke trailing his hand down Reaper's back making it go slightly numb. Reaper shock his head, making nightmare frown.
"Why not?" Nightmare growled.
"Because my free killing days are over!" Reaper yelled through the gritted teeth. Nightmares frown deepened.
"If you don't I'll send someone after you little glitch and have them take care of him in a not so cheerful way~" He said in a calm, monotone voice.

Reaper's body went stiff with fear.  He turned to look Nightmare and became more stiff when he saw his completely serious face.

"O-okay. . . I'll do it." He mumbled, clenching his fists. Nightmare smiled and backed away from him.
"I need you to take care of my brother." He smirked. Reaper gasped and walked towards Nightmare.
"There's no way in hell I'm to destroy the creators boyfriend!" Reaper growled. (Not that I really ship Drink it just fit more than having ink date Error) Nightmare frowned in disappointment.
"Seems you don't care that much for Geno do you?" Nightmare chuckled, bring Cross to his side. Reaper gulped and nodded slowly, before teleporting off to Dreamtale.
"Cross could you go and attend to some business?"

Naturally Dream was cuddling with his boyfriend on the couch, saying sickly sweet thing to one another.  The small, pale yellow house was quiet and calm, till Reaper came tumbling through a portal and smashing into a t.v unit.  Dream screamed quietly in shock,  while Ink stood up.
"Reaper?" He asked, walking over to the skeleton who was currently rubbing his throbbing skull. Reaper stood up and waved, smiling slightly.
"Long time no see..." He muttered.
