Deathly Protection

Attempt 1

The night wind was cool... Though it wasn't what made Reaper shiver... It was the thought...

What if he ended his own life? What if he just... Died? No one would really find him for a while... His dust could stay near Geno's... He could have his final night with his love once more... 

The rope in his arms was the commitment he was willing to go... The Guardians of Heaven and Hell wouldn't be able to stop him... Not like they would've been able to anyway... His brother would've thought that he was in his room or have disappeared to Life's garden... Life would more likely take his absents like she normally would... No one would've noticed his disappearance... Not until they see the unbalance of life and death... The wondering souls of the deceased...

Using the last bit of his strength, the God of Death tied the rope into a noose. He had been practicing his knots for a while now... The thought had always been tempting, but the consequences of it... It made him sway from the idea entirely... Tonight though... He can't stop thinking about only his death...

Once he was done with tying it to the over hanging tree, that shadowed the tombstone, he placed his head through the hole... 

He took a shaky breath, tears in his eyes... He couldn't believe what he was doing! Geno would be angry with him! Hate him for thinking of this! Geno wouldn't have wanted him to do this!

Taking his head out of the noose, the god fell to the ground... His sobs broke the peaceful air... His tears never ending as his power did nothing... For once, he was too sad... Too depressed to kill anything off... 

He couldn't believe what he had tried to do... He whimpered to himself... Reaper didn't want to hurt Geno... Not even if his love was dead... He just couldn't hurt him like that...

"Geno... Please come back... I-I need you..." He whispered, his tears never ending. 

The night was peaceful... As if it didn't acknowledge the fact that someone... that a god tried to kill themselves...

Hours passed, before Reaper left... He was more tired than anything... Though he hid the rope, just in case Life had found the tombstone... He didn't want her to try and help him... Nothing was going to help him... They wouldn't understand him...

Besides... Who would really believe that he, the sadistic God of Death, was sad... Was depressed at the lost of a mortal?

No one... No one, but the Guardians and Life... Even then, he's alone... Alone and misunderstood...

His first attempt to kill himself... Had been postponed...
