*Afterdeath* [BE MINE]

Chapter 23: Memory

Reaper approached the smaller and extended his hand to help him sit up. Geno accepted a little helplessly and wobbly got up. The taller held him, so he wouldn't fall, hugging him on purpose.

Geno: Tsk. Don't play now that Frisk is near.

Reaper: I just heard them enter the bathroom~.

Geno: How great! Help me get to the wheelchair.

The grim reaper obeyed and carefully guided him to the wheelchair, then he helped him sit down. The smaller complained when he felt the seat.

If Geno was honest, he was a little happy to be able to see Toriel. He hoped to recover soon and no longer having to be stuck in a chair. Not only because of that, but also because he would see his "friend" for the first time in years.

Geno: Hey Reaper. . . What are we going to tell Toriel so she would give us that substance?

Reaper: That's true. . . -thoughtful-

Geno: Uhm? . . .

Reaper: Well~. . . I'll just tell her that we did "something" very rough and that you need it for the pai--

.      .      .

That morning, Reaper ended up with a broken bone.

.      .      .

They agreed to say the same as to Frisk, Papyrus to all the gods, since they could not contradict that.

Although, the god of death knew that such a lie wouldn't work with one person.

.      .      .

Reaper, still dramatizing for his bone, helped Geno getting dressed in his usual black and white clothes. He also did the same with his own rope. Frisk came at of the shower, feeling fresh and insisted on leaving as soon as possible. They were even more exited than just moment ago.

Before leaving. Everyone was in the living room, mentally preparing themselves,especially Geno. He interwined his fingers, showing his obvious nerves.

Geno: What if they despise us?

Reaper: I'm sure everything will be fine.

Geno: Bu. . . But what if they stick to their perfection?

Reaper: "Perfection?" Aww Geno~. I didn't think you considered me like that~.

Geno: No, you jerk! I mean that there shouldn't be anomalies in the universe. . . They must want to eliminate us to fulfil their duty to be here. . .

Reaper: Mmm. . . I will explain the friendship we have. They'll surely understand. Also, I don't think they want to get rid of you when they know that Paps and I can touch you without killing them. I would be something new for them and perhaps they won't consider you as an "anomaly", but rather as something unique.

Frsik: *With a big smile, you tell Geno to try to be positive and that you won't lose anything from trying.*

Reaper: The kid understand me. It's like meeting a unicorn on the streets, hehe.

The smaller looked down and thought for a few seconds. He liked the fact that Frisk was excited about something after a long time. It would be unfair to take away that happiness from the child.

.      .      .

He was determined. He didn't want to make the human wait any longer. He looked and showed a light on his face.
