What Are You? - Ohmtoonz Fanfiction

Bored (21)

"This house is fucking boring..." I groaned, dragging out the word boring loudly. I dramatically flung my head over the edge of the seat. Luke told me to stay home while him and Ryan went to school and absolutely not leave the house. 

What is he my dad? 

Ryan taught me briefly how to use the television so I had something to do but for some reason I can't get it to turn on. I mean I know which button it is to turn it on, it just won't. "I'm going to die of boredom." I threw the remote to the floor and leaned over the back of the couch with a sigh. 

I kind of wish I had gone to school with their sorry asses. Would have been better than just sitting here in this empty place. Luke and I could have caught up too...

He probably wanted some alone time with Ryan though. I brushed a piece of hair away from my face.

I wonder how that's going to affect him when his dad tells his mom to bring him home. There is no way Ryan would go with him to the underworld. Besides, it's practically impossible to bring a human down there. Satan has to personally allow their rite of passage between both worlds.

Why would Satan let Ryan in? It's not like he would have any benefit being down there. Would he let him in because Luke needs him? Not a chance. He's already allowed his mother rite of passage why would he do it for his boyfriend? 

I rolled my eyes and stood up, cracking my back and wrists.

"I guess if I wanted to kill time, I could check out that soul I'm supposed to reap." Our reaper guide gives us a full run down on why and who we are to reap within the week span limit. If we get our target early, we get to roam around up here until the week is over. Kind of like a vacation.

However, if we don't do it by the end of the day we go back you are stripped of your rights to be in the reaper squad and will have to find another job.

The soul I have to get is named Ben Thompson. He was part of a gang downtown and took some kind of drug in his home to kill himself a few days ago. He chose his death over killing another. Supposedly he killed himself while he was happiest.

He's in the hospital now and the doctors don't know how to save him so they're pulling the plug soon.

I wonder what kind of drug he took to stump even the doctors...who knows anyways. He was in a gang so it could just be something rare or a poisonous pill made for killing others.

Anyways, even if they pull the plug and I'm not there I can sense where the body goes. I can pull the soul even after they put him in a casket or cremate him. I just need to make sure I'm not seen by any humans while I do my work. It can look a little...strange to them. 

I grabbed my coat and threw it over my shoulders. It was a nice day outside but I still wasn't exactly acclimated to the colder temperature up here. My reaper guide said it would be good to constantly wear a jacket until I get comfortable in this environment. 

And I'm not one that listens to people. It's just fucking cold. 

To be honest I wouldn't mind coming up here every single week to find a new target. Too bad it's a small town and elders get dibs first on going up. I kind of wish I would get transferred to a different place. Sure, I'd miss Luke and my dad but that means I would get to be up here more often.

Or maybe people could just die a lot so I could come up here.

"At least I would get to feel alive more often." I whispered to myself. 

I made my way out of Luke's house and down the long road. Instead of following my connection to the soul, I just walked mindlessly. My hands fell into my pockets as I let my body take me anywhere. I wasn't really paying attention until my feet suddenly stopped. In front of me was the short boy's house from before. My mind didn't process why I was here instead I quickly went to the side of the house and watched the front door. Like for some reason I knew what was happening.
