Undertaken

====UNDERTAKER====

I had secretly been working on making a hat for Mikki like mine, and once I had finally gotten her to wear her green contacts, I gave it to her. She really did look like a miniature, female me, but what made it all the better was how much she seemed to like the hat.

To my surprise, she eventually confesses that I am her first boyfriend. I had taken her first kiss as well. I wanted to feel bad because perhaps I didn't make the first kiss between us all that special (I'm speaking of the one that she had initiated after she recovered, not the one that I gave her while she was ill). However, she seemed to enjoy it.

I then tell her that there is more to the gift, and I get her to follow me to my bedroom. After getting Mikki to sit on a coffin, I walk over to another and pull something out of it. Coffins make for great storage spaces, by the way. I hide it behind my back until I am in front of her, then show it.

Mikki's eyes tear up and she covers her mouth with her hands. "I know you like wearing my clothes and such, but I figured you should have something nice to wear on special occasions," I say, holding up a black dress that is longer in the back than it is in the front. There's one of my scarves around it as well, and I figured it could be used as a shawl of some sort to wrap around her shoulders.

Mikki suddenly gets up and throws her arms around my neck, then pulls me down to crash our lips together. I manage to gently lay the dress down on a coffin before wrapping my arms tightly around the young woman and pull her close to me. I feel her begin to back up, but she is pulling me along with her. She then turns us around and suddenly, I'm falling, but a second later, I land on something soft, soon realizing it's my coffin/bed. Mikki landed on top of me, her lips never leaving mine. Smart, clever, and sneaky. I think to myself. There is soon a loud bang, and I then realize Mikki had purposely slammed her foot against the lid of my coffin to make it fall closed on top of us. Strong. I then add to my mental list of things about Mikki. With my help, Mikki managed to pull my cloak off, and she began running her hands all over my chest as I kiss a line down her jaw and neck. She hums and connects our lips once more before pulling away all together.

Come on, Adrien. Now's the time. You need to ask her. It's almost been a whole year. Stop holding it off. I sigh, and Mikki's smile falters a little. "Mikki.."

"Something wrong?" she asks, tilting her head to the side. Goodness, she's adorable sometimes.

"No, of course not. I just... I wanted to ask you something," I say. Why is it so hard to say it? Am I afraid of what she might say?

"You can ask me anything," she says, trying to encourage me to speak. I sigh again.

"Would you, maybe, possibly.. erm.. want to.. to become like me?" I ask, biting my lip afterwards. Mikki, however, raises a confused eyebrow.

"Aren't I already somewhat like you? I prepared my first body today and the guy loved it," she said with a smile. I shake my head.

"No, not an undertaker," I say.

"Then what wou-" Mikki stops as she finally understands what I'm saying. I reach up and push the coffin lid open, just in case she needed air. Once I do so, she sits up. "Y-you mean..." She then begins to look as if she was rethinking her entire life. "R-really?" Mikki asks in a whisper. I nod my head.

"But only if you want to!" I say quickly, sitting up. She's practically sitting in my lap, and I place my hands on her hips, rubbing small circles there with my thumbs, as if to soothe her. Before I know it, she has her arms wrapped around me in a tight embrace.

"I-I would love to," she whispers in a shaky voice. I can't help but smile, and I return the hug. Mikki pulls away just enough to look into my eyes, then lean forward and kiss me. I smile into the kiss and return it, then fall to my back once again and pull her down onto my chest, running one of my hands through her hair.

"IEN! Wake up! Ughhhh! ADRIEN! You stupid old geezer, get your butt out. Of. Bed. Now! Adrien! UGHHHHH!" I wake up to Mikki yelling at me. I open my eyes just a little to see Mikki standing there, bright eyed and bushy tailed. I tiredly groan and roll onto my other side, away from her. Hey, I'm still a reaper. I need my sleep, too. Beauty sleep, that is. You don't just look this good for nothing.

====MCKENZIE====

I sigh after yelling at Adrien to get up for so long. I wanted to go to the Reaper Academy and apply today, but I doubt that will happen with Adrien being so lazy right now.

I get hungry and decide to make breakfast, skillfully forming pancakes into the shapes of bones, much like he does with his cookies. While they were cooling, I got a glass of water to drink. I then trip over something (probably thin air, given my luck) and drop my water, causing the glass to shatter, and I fall, instinctively letting out a high-pitched yelp. I prepare myself for impact.

But impact never comes. There's a gush of wind, and my tightly-shut eyes open, only to see thAT I AM HANGING FROM THE CEILING!

I look down and see the bright shining of a death scythe being held out in front of my body for protection. I then feel a slight breath on my neck, and notice Adrien is holding me up. He had pulled me up to the corner of the room, using his feet to keep us up by pushing them against the two walls, and his back pressed against the ceiling.

"A-Adrien?" My mouth is soon covered by Adrien's hand. I then begin squirming and kicking. "Adrien, you idiot, nobody is here! Let me down, I only tripped!" Despite my demands, Adrien keeps me up for a while before finally dropping to the ground and setting me down.

"Don't scare me like that," he said, resting the top of his scythe (or literally the skull of it) on the ground.

"You're the one who scared me! I only tripped. Goodness," I mutter. "If I'd have known dropping a glass and yelping would drag an old man like yourself out of bed, I would have done so sooner." Adrien rolls his eyes. I then sigh and walk to him, wrapping my arms around him and hugging him. "I'm sorry for scaring you."

"I'm just glad you're safe," he says, kissing the top of my head. I give him a kiss on the cheek, then pull him over to the table for breakfast. Afterwards, I clean up the shattered glass on the floor and throw it all away. "Hey, you're going to make us late!"

"What?! Excuse you, but you're the one who refused to wake up!" Adrien only laughs and scoops me up bridal style and carries me into his room as I give his arm a playful punch.
