Deathly Protection

Relaxing Doubts

After the incident at the Gardens, most of the other Gods and Goddesses tried not to piss Reaper off. He seemed more on edge and clinging to Xasilinta as though he was going to be ripped from him.

No matter what Sili says or does, the dark God has to always be there, he always has to be watching. He couldn't risk his love getting hurt once more, he couldn't let Xas die...

The white wearing God sighed as he silently waited for his boyfriend to walk into their new garden. After that fiasco, the smaller skeleton had the right idea to make a new garden else where, this time telling the other Gods to not look for them.

The Passion God had to put his lover's doubts and fears to rest, or Reaper might actually start killing people who he deem a threat to their relationship... No, he couldn't have that...

"Night Gladiolus, are you alright?" The sound of devilish God quickly brought the younger God from his head.

Giving a gentle smile, he simply opened his arms.

Reaper gave a love-sick chuckle as he brought his boyfriend into a loving hug. For a few hours, the two just stayed like that, cuddled into a welcoming warmth and love.

"Reaper?" Xasilinta whispered, small seeds of worry starting to sprout inside his mind.

"Yes, Night Gladiolus?" The dominate one nuzzled that smaller's head, calmly waiting for whatever was to come next.

"Reaper, I love you, but..." The smaller took a deep breath as he nervously continued. "But what you're feeling isn't healthy... I know you love me too, I know you don't want to loose me, but Love, you won't... I won't die no matter who is to kill me, I can take care of my own..."

For a moment, there was nothing... No breeze, no whistle of a bird, no calmness.

The newer and stronger garden darkened, its once friendly aura turning to one of possessiveness and anger.

"I know you love me and I trust that you won't let yourself get hurt." The dominating monster called out, his voice stern and oddly harsh sounding. "But, I refuse," The words were spat out as the Dark God carefully turned his lover to face him. "to let you get hurt. I won't loose you, not by my brother's hand nor by Asgore's. I will kill them if I have to, I'd do anything to keep you safe."

Xas gulped quietly as he stared deep into his lover's eyes, eyes that meant every single word he had uttered. The darkness that was there weeks ago, now had returned... It was bubbling up to the surface, but not to kill, but to claim... To claim what Reaper had said was his, to protect the small skeleton from even the simplest of things.

This emotion was going to get out of control! This emotion was going to hurt someone like Life, someone who needs to be alive!

"Reaper, please listen to yourself! You sound mad! I know you're worried for me, I know that you care for me, and I know you mean well, but killing someone like Asgore- no killing someone that you're related to! Please, Reaper, I love you and I won't die! I won't die no matter what! I die when I say I die, nothing is going to kill me otherwise!"

Those words...

All anger and possessiveness left instantly with those words... Words that meant everything to one special monster... A monster who refused to die until the very end.

"Reaper, listen to me when I say this... I die when I say I die, nothing else will kill me otherwise." The small monster stood on his knees, forcing his lover to stare him in the eyes, forcing him to truly listen to him. "Do you understand? If I need you're help, if I need you to protect me, I'll call your name to the Heaven's and to Hell. I know you'll come if I call... It's alright... I'm not going to get hurt."

The Dark God searched those wonderful eyes, searched them for any trace of doubt, of a lie, but... He couldn't find any. He only found truth and sincerity. He found deep sorrow that seemed to have been forever branded far within their soul, but he found happiness that burrowed even deeper than that...

It felt like all the darkness, all the evil inside of Reaper had dispersed, fading into nothing but acceptance.

"Alright... But if they hurt you, I won't hesitate to hide you and end my brother's life." He warned, but his stern voice was held soft on the other's ears.

Xasilinta smiled happily as he gave a loving kiss his boyfriend. That was all he needed to hear.

Hey! Sorry for not updating for a while, I had to move and my computer wasn't step up until tonight. So I hope you guys can understand on why I'm a bit behind on things.
