"You're atheist," I remind him. "You don't believe in god." "I believe in you," He murmurs, letting the cigarette hang from his lips. "I believe in whatever you believe." He says, letting the confession roll off his tongue as if it were that simple. As if god, the devil, heaven, hell-as if none of it really had meaning to him. "That's not how it works," I mutter as we walk down a few more alleyways-the city of Manhattan coated in a light blanket of snow. Henry Vitiello had never had anything to pray for, that is, until he met me-the only thing that had ever opened his mind up to the possibility of religion "Isn't it?" He argues, taking the cigarette by his middle and pointer finger before blowing the smoke out. "I'II dip my hands in holy water if it means I could touch you." "You'd probably burn." 𓆩♡𓆪 𝐇𝐄𝐍𝐑𝐘 𝐕𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐎, the reaper. He's a prick. An asshole. A pretentious son of a bitch. He's not perfect. He's not even decent. But he's hers.

𝐏𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐓. is one word to describe aiden johnson. I prop my elbows on top of the kitchen counter, leaning forward as I continue sucking on my cherry red lollipop. Glancing up, I stare directly into his eyes as I unhook my lips from the treat making a pop sound that echoed throughout the kitchen. He stared intensely at me as my tongue ran across the tip of the lollipop. I hear him groan roughly, desperate which causes me to wickedly smirk. The color in his eyes suddenly drains. He rounds the counter, stopping directly in front of me. "You're playing with fire," He mumbles dangerously low, looking down at me. His drained-colored eyes watch my mouth in awe as my tongue rounds the entire treat seductively. He narrows his eyes at me. "Then burn me," I whisper, taunting him, challenging him as I now stand chest to chest with him. In a fast motion, Aiden snatched the lollipop from my mouth, dropping it onto the ground before gripping my chin and forcing my head up. "Fire makes smoke, baby. You know that right?" My cool lips kiss his thumb which makes him tug my red lip. Staring directly into his eyes, I pull out another lollipop from my pocket, unraveling the wrapper. "The question is, can fire handle all of this smoke?" I whisper, bringing myself to his height to lightly brush my lips against his which makes him groan again. I suck on my new lollipop and turn around walking away, his gaze lingering on me until I was out of sight. I smile, knowing he was coming to find out for himself.
