Birthday Surprise

Best Birthday Ever

Eric and Alan were out on their Reaping mission, William had allowed them to work together, seeing as it was Erics birthday.the two were stood on the rooftops, killing time while they waited  for the target to die, They had their arms linked and were happily stood together, Alan checked his watch quietly; there was annother  5 minutes to spare, he cuddled into Erics side. Eric chuckled and wrapped his arm arround Alans waist and pulled him close. Alan blushed and smiled, resting his head against Eric. The taller male looked forward, he could see their target, 19 year old Annie Roberts. he guess this girl was what humans called "pretty", she was in a figure flattering dress and her long aurburn hair was loose around  her shoulders, not like it interested Eric, he never had taken a liking to girls,besides, the smaller male at his side was the love of his life. it was just interesting what humans saw as attractive. He looked down at Alan, the 5 minuets passed. the human girl met her death, drowned in the thames. He nudged The smaller male gently "Al', ets time tae reap tha soul swee''art" he said softly .Alan looked up at Eric and nodded"right" He reluctantly let go of Erics arm and summoned his scythe. Eric frowned and grabbed Alans hand gently. Alan blushed and held Erics hand happily. The two reapers made their way down to the side of the thames. Alan sighed "why cant they make it eaiser for us? hold my scythe dear" Alan passed his scythe to Eric, then pulled his jacket, waistcoat and shirt off "es tha' really a goo' idea darlin'? ets win'er..." Eric held Alans scythe, jacket, waistcoat and shirt, his voice worried. Alan chuckled softly "no harm in a quick dip is there?"  He jumped into the river and swam down to retreive the body, which had become caught in river weeds. Eric watched bfrom the banking "'s a problem whe' yeve go' tha thorns o' death, tae much stress triggers an attack..." he mumbled. Alan swam to the lake bed and pulled the weeds that were entangling her, the black lines up his arm more than visible, once he had freed her, he grabbed her and swam up to the surface "damn its freezing" he thought, he broke surface roughly in the middle of the river and swam to the edge, where Eric was waiting,The tall reaper saw Alan and stood up. Alan treaded water while Eric pulled the body out of the water, Eric dumped the body at the side and litterally picked Alan up out of the water.Alan smiled gratefully as Eric passed Alan his shirt and waistcoat. Alan pulled his top on as Eric reaped the soul, Alan stayed a safe distance away from the records as he pullled his waistcoat on and buttoned it up.Eric finished collecting the soul and turned his attention to Alan, who had just pulled his jacket on. Eric walked to Alan and buttoned the smallers jacket up,then slipped his bola tie on for him. Alan smiled  "thanks".  Eric smiled back and hugged the small brown haired reaper close  "yer more tha' welcome Darlin'". Alan yawned and shivered "was that the last one?" He asked quietly. Eric nodded and picked Alan up gently "yeah, c'mon, ill carry yae 'ome"
