A Tale of Deadly Love

Chapter 20: Misery Makes You Crazy

"Well bring him back. I'm going to take him home."I say

"And why would I do that?"She asks

"Because we love each other and you basically kidnapped him to send him elsewhere. There's no such thing as a Utopia or else if it did gods and goddesses like you would've left us alone so we could be happy."I say, crossing my arms

She looks at me with a puzzled look before smiling with a giggle. She looks to Hunter and nods her head, signaling him to leave. He smiles, nodding before leaving. I could've sworn I heard him thank her.

"Oh dear, all the reaping really twisted that mind of yours in a knot didn't it? You really don't know how this works, huh?"She says to me with a sick laugh that got on my nerves

As if I was a fool entertaining her.

"Geno is my lover and he is my source of happiness. He knows that too. I don't see what's funny about that. What part of that don't you understand?"I say

"Hmm, well you don't seem to undertsand my job and capabilities, Reaper. I looked into his mind and soul for what he looked for or dreamt of and made a reality where all that and more was there for him. Much more than you could ever give him. He's running about there happy as he can possibly be with more than he could've ever imagined to desire, a life of pleasure and no pain. And you want me, the one responsible for giving poor souls like him that, to rip him out of that reality and hand him back over to my brother where he is miserable and doesn't have that perfect life, just so you could be happy? Why would he want to come back to this reality where he doesn't even have his AU anymore for you if he could have the best version of his AU and the perfect version of you too? Cause honey, you weren't exactly on your best behavior the last time he saw you. Maybe it's time to let him be free of your selfish desires."She explains to me

I stare at her, speechless. I felt my eye twitch. Then I start laughing. I laugh harder than ever before and felt tears come down my face. I am so SICK and TIRED of this!

"Ooooh, that's funny. That is really funny. For a second there I thought you called me selfish even though you have no clue what our relationship is like. This is why I hate pesky gods like you. You all think you're so perfect or some kind of savior. You all are so happy and free without a care in the world but just decide to meddle with our relationship! Just cause you can! Just cause gods like you feel like it! It's wrong, forbidden, not according to plan, not right for whatever reason, just any reason you could come up with to make yourself feel right! I'm somehow shaped to be the one in the wrong just because I'm a god of death! He is hurt and torn apart or taken away multiple times just because gods like you deem it must be done! You all go on with your lives and I am left to pick up the pieces! I am so sick of it! I'm so sick of strangers telling me that they know better than me or telling me that I can't love him! That he is a mortal or something is wrong with us! None of you know! Yet you think you do and tear us down!"I yell at her, finally snapping

I didn't care, I couldn't keep it in anymore. My soul was breaking.

"But if we want to talk about sacrifices or selfishness, let's talk about that. I was working myself down to thin bones reaping souls while gods like you were partying or fooling around. I was broken just because of stupid mistakes other people did or other immortals' decisions! I was falling apart! Then he came into my life and I was better! I was happy! I was loved! Then my father disapproved. Other gods meddled and try to hurt him, experiment on him, he hired someone to get rid of him. All these awful things, just because he made me happy! Then my father tried to erase him from existence and I lost my shit! Was I wrong in doing so? WOuldn't you have done the same? But no, I'm not allowed to freak out like that because it's not right for me...He is so lucky he failed and I got him back. Then we tried to continue our relationship like before but no, that would've been too much to ask for from stupid gods like you! He kept getting taken or hurt one way or another from me because others thought I wasn't deserving of him or they deserved to have him! That they could perfect him or hurt him or toy with him and fucked-up shit like that! And that would be perfectly fine but the moment I get a second of joy with him, that's not allowed! Sounding fair yet?"I snap at her, stomping back at forth
