Corpse Groom

Test

~M-POV~

La Muerte had also written the back of the note she left us The the first trial starts in one day so get ready Hiro💔

I grabbed Hiro's arm and dragged him away from my family "Hiro are you really ready to do this for me it's a big deal and if you fail-" Hiro grabbed my hands kissing them looking me in the eyes telling me "If I fail sure I'll feel like shit for not winning, but at least I'll be with you for eternity." I went from worried to determined walking back over to my family and declaring "Let's win this for everyone who lost their mortal lives to this challenge."

Everyone cheered as I and Hiro proceeded to the room I had been calling home for the past months of being cursed I sat on the bed with him as we went back and forth about the questions he may be asked. We stayed up late talking both of us finding out new things about the other. These few days of being with him I feel more human than ever he gives me that huge sense of comfort that this curse has token from me. Hiro soon fell asleep next to me and being the gentleman I am I lad him down in my bed and covered him up sleeping in a chair nearby instead of with him in the bed.

×H-POV×

I woke up to the warmth of covers on me rubbing my eyes and looking around to see Miguel sleep peacefully in a chair in the corner I kissed his sleeping head. I left him up there alone and decided to explore the house till my first trial began, I felt the cool breeze up against my cheeks as I walked around the garden, I smelled each marigold I found, I also placed one into my pocket for Miguel since they happen to be his favorite.

Soon enough while checking out one of the balconies I felt a pair of bony arms wrap around my waist "Let me guess, it's Miguel" I heard a laugh then got spun around to kiss him I was shocked but glad because of how sexy it was of him to do that. He pulled away and asked me this "Are you ready I have no idea how this challenge will work out". I pondered this for a few minutes starring at the distant bright colors only to not answer, I have no idea how this whole trial with work out will the song I picked work, will I be able to answer every question, can I really save Miguel to show my courage, " Yeah I'll win"

'Great now you're lying through your teeth.'

It was nightfall by the time the trial started Miguel and his family having a front-row seat to the whole thing.

∆No pov∆

La Muerte placed her lips by the microphone "Hello everyone and welcome to the Uno Dos Tres love trials! Today's trial is all about knowing your partner through and through. It takes a good listener to actually know what their partner likes. Lovers are one of the hardest things to find so Miguel's possible love-" The gorgeous goddess was cut off by a small skeleton who also may have died too young "I would like to fight once more for my love Miguel!". The skeleton who had once been eager for Hiro seemed worried instead, he knew the other skeleton was obsessed with him, but Hiro surely knew more than his stalker right?

La Muerte didn't say a word only nodding her head yes to the skeleton, "Now time the first challenge Test, answers asked by Mozart!" the crowd cheered roared as the now 2 contestants and show host came out the skeleton Mozart.

Hiro was surprised by the choice of host for this challenge but none the less Hiro put on his game face. "The first question, 'it's also the easiest' what is the skeleton's name?" Mozart asked getting ready to play a simple correct miniature piece. Hiro hit the button as quickly as he could "Miguel Rivera" he shouted Mozart playing a note or to "Correct!" the skeleton boy throwing a tantrum almost in his seat.
"2nd question Who is the living relative he cares most for?" Mozart seemed a bit more impatient on the answers, the skeleton responded with "Hector Rivera" getting it right first try, it was only a tie. Two of the ten questions had been asked already, Hiro bracing for the next one "Three is about his music taste what does he like?" Hiro got to answer first with acoustic.

The questions soon won out to Hiro winning the round only 1 point ahead of the other skeleton, tired and hurting he headed back to the house with Miguel to rest. In the dead of night under full moon light someone was kidnapped the wondrous muse who started it all, sent to a cold cot till the next trial for his love to fight......
