*Afterdeath* [BE MINE]

Chapter 11: One more step

While Geno arguing with himself to leave or apologize, suddenly that special person made him feel like he was so clumsy. He needed to push himself at that moment.

Geno: Wh-What's happening to me? . . . AGH! . . . Why is this so difficult!? It's just a talk! -bla bla bla-

While he shouted, he felt how the door opened in front of him. When it opened fully, Reaper appeared with a smile on his face.

Reaper: Hehe, I thought you wanted to rest.

Geno: Ho-How did you know I was here?!

Reaper: Simply, Why are you screaming at my door?

Geno: THAT IS--! . . . I. . . I. . . I . . .Ugh, Can I come in?

Reaper: Of course~.

The taller stepped aside to let Geno pass and bowed like Geno was a lady. Geno avoided hitting him. He wanted to apologize correctly, so he just came in without saying anything with a slight blush on his face. Then Reaper closed the door and looked at Geno a bit happy.

Reaper: Allow me to ask: What is the reason of your visit? . . . Pfff--

Geno: I . . . wanted to apologize for being so selfish. . . after all, you saved me and Frisk. . . Thank you. . . you . . . -blushes stronger- I owe you a lot. . .

Reaper: Oh, so that's it. . . You don't have to apologize because. . . with your single existence you are already paying me Geno.

Geno: -nervous- Shut up. . . Well, I also came because. . . I think you deserve to know what happened earlyer.

Reaper was interested in those words, so he just listened to his beloved.

Geno: W-Well, the root of all this is that guy ''Ganz''. He knows what we did out there in the forest. . . So he came to my AU to confront me. . .

Reaper: But. . . that guy shouldn't care.

Geno: The. . . The reason he cares is that. . . I used to be his ''partner''. . . but he cheated on me so I broke up with him. He came back to claim me as ''his'' again and tried to abuse me but Frisk prevented that from happening. They saved me. . . that is one of the reasons why I have come to appreciate that child.

The taller was surprised and extremely annoyed by that confession. He had the urge to kill at that moment. He felt anger rising up his body.

Geno: I didn't want to tell you because--

The other didn't let him finish talking with a sudden hug. He hugged him with force and in a protective way.

Reaper: . . . Why didn't you tell me about that guy before?

Geno: W-Well. . . I thought it wasn't necessary until today and. . . before we weren't as close as now.

At the end of speaking Geno returned the hug and spoke in a low voice, he felt in trust with that approach.

Reaper: . . . If that guy does something to you again, I swear I won't fail on my job.

Geno: Heh. . . I think Ganz won't appear in a while if I'm with you. . . Hey, can I ask you something?

Reaper: You just asked me something, hehe.

Geno: Pfff--. . . How did you know that Frisk and I were in danger?

Reaper: Well. . . I woke up because I didn't feel you in the bed, Geno. I worried a lot about you. So I went to wake up Papyrus to ask him the reason for your absence and he told me that you went back to the save screen. I went to see you and saw Frisk lying on the floor with Ganz in front of them.
