I had this story in my head since a quite long time, so i hope you like.
Angsty Afterdeath
**
Geno cheated on Reaper for the last time. The god had enough of being manipulated, humiliated like that.
Who is he at the eyes of everyone ? Everyone knew Geno was cheating on him.
He's a poor thing now. He just wanted to be loved. But nobody seemed to care... oh after crying hours non-stop then thinking about what to do, Reaper stood and went to Nightmare.
Nightmare wanted Reaper in his team, and since nobody in the good guys seemed to have a little bit of interest in him, maybe the bad one will give him an existence at their eyes. And that's what they did.
He discovered something they weren't on the bright side. A big family. Everyone taking care of everyone. Nightmare, despite his reputation and his short temper, being kind and understanding at the God's suffering.
He is happy.

A party. Reaper had been invite at a party Blueberry was giving. He accepted just because he could help Nightmare having information. So he played the role.
Even if everyone noticed that he avoided Geno. And some drinks later, Geno told some that Reaper disappeared from their house and they were not living together anymore.
At the same time, a truth or dare is played by some sanses and reaper was one of them. Blue dared Reaper to sing and he did. He even had a guitar someone brought.
The god sat on a stool, guitar in his hands, hood on. He began to play the song before singing :
"My condolences...
I'll shed a tear with your family.
I'll open a bottle up, pour a little bit out in your memory...
The room went silent as the god began to sing... and not expecting this kind of song... did Reaper really gave up on Geno... yeah, he isn't Masochist.
"I'll be at the wake dressed in all black...
I'll call out your name, but you won't call back,
I'll hand a flower to your mother when I say goodbye
Cause baby you're dead to me..."
Geno dropped his glass that shattered on the floor. He knew he lost Reaper.
"I need to kill you.
That's the only way to get you out of my head...
Oh, I need to kill you.
To silence all the sweet little things you said...
I really want to kill you !
Wipe you off the face of my earth.
And bury your bracelet,
Bury your bracelet,
Six feet under the dirt..."
Some people began to realize what's happening. Maybe Blueberry did good to ask this dare to Reaper. He gave him the chance to tell his cheater ex-boyfriend what he wanted to say.
"Rainy days and black umbrellas...
Who's gonna save you now ?
can you cheat from underground ?"
It's been said. By the song. Reaper knew and always has. And everybody felt so bad because at the end... they were all hypocrites. They all knew and never said anything.
"My condolences.
I'll shed a tear with your family.
I'll open a bottle up, pour a little bit out in your memory.
I'll be at the wake dressed in all black.
I'll call out your name but you won't call back.
I'll hand a flower to your mother when I say goodbye.
Cause baby you're dead to me..."
As he said that, he hadn't lift his head but he stared at Geno. To make him understand that it's finished and he'll never come back. The god lifted his head and closed his eyes.
"I'll mourn you when you go !
Baby you're dead to me...
I'll mourn you when you go..."
His head lower as his voice lowered a bit too at the "when you go". And he restarted with an accusing toned voice.
"I need to say sorry...
That's the only thing you say when you lose someone.
I used to say I'm sorry...
For all of the stupid shit you've done."
Reaper stared at Geno's lovers he cheated with before his stare came to the cheater himself to accentuate the lyrics.
"So now I'm really sorry, sorry for being the apologetic one...
But if I told you again, if I told you again
You would think I was crazy."
He continued with the accusing tone, and Geno lowered his head, knowing Reaper was right... this song fit perfectly what's going on between them.
And it was the worst feeling Geno felt in his life.
"My condolences.
I'll shed a tear with your family...
I'll open a bottle up, pour a little bit out in your memory.
I'll be at the wake dressed in all black.
I'll call out your name but you won't call back.
I'll hand a flower to your mother when I say goodbye.
Cause baby you're dead to me...
I'll mourn you when you go
Baby you're dead to me
I'll mourn you when you go
Cause baby you're dead to me..."
Geno gave Reaper a last look before running away. Reaper gave back the look "we're nothing anymore" and gave back the guitar.
Blue played the innocent card and smiled at Reaper.
"your singing well ! Where did you learned ?"
"with him."
"oh... well, still you should sing more often."
"that's okay."
"really ?!"
The God nodded and decided to leave. He was greeted at the castle by the others, still shocked how well he sang and how subtle he was.
And Reaper was happy. He made Geno pay what he did.
