Death's Destructive Family: DestructiveDeath Sequel

Chapter 46: The Fool's Commitment

"What happened? Dumb boss or dumb coworkers?"Killer asks

"Well, I have this friend that I helped get married and now she wants help getting a vision to come true with another god. She wants to help him and he is quite deserving of it as far as I can tell. Good friend, a loving father, a sweet grandfather, and a devoted boyfriend. What more could you ask for? I have the power to help protect a bond with my blessing but I have to be confident that both people involved are committed to the relationship. I can tell that this god is committed, there's no question about it. But their partner, whom I didn't meet with, isn't someone I'm certain about. I could see some pain in the god's soul from suspicions placed by his partner. His partner's words harmed him recently, indicating insecurity in the relationship. But it isn't from him, it's in his partner's confidence in his commitment. In my experience, it's often the partner who isn't confident about the other's commitment who truly has an insecure commitment to them. So as far as I see it, this god's partner is the one with commitment issues despite what they said to the god. I've never had a cheating or unfaithful partner come to me for a commitment's blessing after all."She explains

"So what did you do?"Killer asks

"I had to give my first half-blessing. I blessed him and his commitment to whoever he chooses so that HE will get the happiness that he desires and deserves, but I advised him to be careful with whom he chooses so that he is treated right. He should have a partner who is committed to him and doesn't hide their insecurities with comments about doubting him. Now he is releasing his stress with the King of Negativity. I've never had to do that before but he deserved it. I intend to meet his partner and see what's wrong with him."She says

Reaper frowns, catching onto the wording. He's looking for a blessing. She's already married. Killer is right. That romance goddess made a cover story for Error and now he feels even worse. He doubted Error and his words hurt Error. His....His Glitchy wants to get married and he insulted his intentions. And now he is with Nightmare? Probably venting about this to him as they destroy AUs? Oh, he can hear Nightmare talking to Error already: "See, Error? I told you that Reaper was no good for you. He belongs on his own list that he threatened to put me on. You deserve better. Come back to the gang where you're appreciated. This family knows what you're worth, unlike that birdbrain."

"I mean come on, what kind of idiot would see him with my friend aka the romance expert and think that they're not committed? What next, they're going to doubt his commitment when they see him watching UnderNovela? I have never met such a fool in all my years of giving blessings and arranging commitments."She says

"What do you do for work?"Killer asks

"Oh, I'm a goddess of commitment but I do official work with my own wedding planning company. Here, this is the address if you ever need some help with your special day."She says, reaching past Reaper to give a business card to Killer

Killer grins and tucks it in his pocket.

"I'll save this for when my nephew gets the chance to have that special day so don't expect it anytime soon."He says

"And who might that be?"She asks

"Goth. I think he's the son of the god you met."He says

"Oh yes, he is. I've seen him and he's so adorable with that roller boy. I can see their commitment and would easily give them a blessing if they asked for it. When they're old enough of course."She giggles before taking a sip from her drink

Then she looks at him and smiles.

"I remember you! You're the chosen brother of the lumberjack that married the farmer! That pairing is so sweet and it was a joy to put protection on their wedding so that nobody would interfere, well...not object. I had a few words with Gaster for crashing it to confront that god of death. Wait...Now that I think about it, you probably know who I'm talking about! How did you feel about the father of the lumberjack's relationship?"She says

"I'm guessing you mean Horror's marriage to Farmer. Yeah, I know them. Error had an interesting way of forming relationships but I've never met anyone dumber to cause him this frustration. The last thing I would've ever doubted about Error is his sense of commitment. He is dedicated 100% to anything he puts his mind and soul to and never turns his back on anyone he says he is allied with.  This fool was talking pure bullshit and should eat his words."Killer says with a grin just to make Reaper feel worse.

"Do you know where I can find such a fool to have a conversation with him?"She asks sarcastically

Reaper sits up, finishes his drink, and leaves his payment in an attempt to leave but two hands block him from behind.

"Oh! Reaper! Hello, I didn't see you there! Why don't you stay a bit so that we can discuss a few things?"She says, putting a threatening order into her question with a sharp tone.

Killer grins, getting his refill from the bartender as Reaper is forced to stay.

"This is going to be good."He chuckles.
