The AU of Reaper still seemed the same as the last time I was here. I remembered the kids that protested at the front door and he saw the few of them all grown up. The memories of being lied to...of being hated brought chills to Reaper spine. He hates this sense of deja vu, but he's only here cause Geno curious to see his world and AU. If Reaper had his way, they'd be back in the save screen, playing games, or helping with Geno migrant, but Geno seemed to be okay, maybe he's just acting like everything okay...it made Reaper wanna yelled at Geno for not being himself.
Life had started rambling on and on about Reapertale's progress. The people of Reapertale were at peace with Papyrus's job, many were merciful to the other god and adored and admire their powers
They also learned that humans have the power to be a semi-god, just like the Chara we've beaten. Remembering that day where Undyne had shot a burning star into the semi-human, and the screams of pain and agony caused by my Gaster Blasters, it somehow made me feel fuzzy inside that she was gone...that anomaly...
Life went on and on as she gave a tour through the human village. I was in the back, Frisk and Geno in the middle and Life in the front. But is it just me, or did everyone look with me with such mouth dropping expressions?
The stares felt so...weird, I wasn't really comfortable. I mean...I know I was gone for...what feels like maybe 6 years or so, but gosh, don't stare me down like that.
Life had finally taken us back to MY Frisk home. I wonder it's been a while since I've seen my Frisk, I wonder if they've gotten any taller.
I wonder how everyone else is doing as well.
Life slammed the door open with her happy, bubbly self.
"EVERYONE!!! I'm HOME!!~" She sang. As much as I miss Life singing, she was obnoxiously loud today, and forceful...she seemed different from the times we hung out at the garden...maybe it's just me. I just have the sudden urge to hit Life right now.
Probably because I'm a sadist fuck with weird fantasies...
Life walked in, Geno and Frisk following. I didn't really wanna go inside so I just stood out. The porch was made of concrete, and the seats out of metal. Instead of going inside, I sat down on the porch.
This feels so surreal. I really don't like it here...
Me yelling at Papy, and at everyone...storming off after that dumb argument.
I feel really petty right now, I didn't really have to leave for THAT long...I could have come back...but now that I'm here...I feel so awkward, I don't really deserve to come back inside after being away for so long...all of my friends that I grew up with, not having a single clue to where I was.
I could hear from the inside that they were talking about me, wondering where I was since I wasn't inside.
I covered my head with the hood of my cloak. I didn't really wanna go inside to see Papyrus, I'd feel horrible.
Geno walked out of the house and looked around on the porch, he saw me sitting on one of the porch chairs. He walked over, "Reaper? Why don't you come inside?" He asked.
I just turned my head away from him...I wasn't in the mood to tell him.
I really did wanna go inside...but my soul and body probably wouldn't let me...
Geno smiled and held my hand. I looked up at him before he yanked me up to my feet and rushed me inside.
Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!
Geno held onto my hand tightly.
I just looked down...I could see everyone's feet....even Paps.
"Here's Reaper!" Geno said with his bright voice. Gosh, Geno...you really have to embarrass me like that? And not to mention that you said you had a migrant, yet you still have a bunch of energy? Dear Asgore, I don't get you...
Most gasped...I could hear Papyrus whimpering...
"B-Brother?..." Papyrus spoke, chocking on his words...
Oh god...what do I say?
"Is that...y-you?" Papyrus asked. I could tell tears were already running down his face.
"Y-Yeah...no bones about it..." I replied.
Papyrus rushed over to me and scooped me up into a hug so tight. "OH SANS! SHUT UP WITH YOUR STUPID PUNS THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A WARMING MOMENT! BUT YOU RUINED IT WITH A STUPID PUN!!!!" Papyrus yelled swinging me around in his arms, hugging me tightly, yelling and crying at the same time.
It made me chuckle and laugh.
I miss him so much.
Geno smiled at me, as well as Frisk- I mean...Geno Frisk.
"Oh, Asgore...I missed you so much, Brother! I've been looking everywhere for you! In this AU in other AUs! I've been everywhere! But...your here now..." Papyrus said.
"Heh..." I held him close too.
Papyrus had put me down. I looked up at him...and he SERIOUSLY has changed.
He had bags under his eyes and a crack on his right socket. "Paps? What happened to your eye? Why do you look so tired?" I asked, "Oh! This old thing? Sometimes I get into a bit of trouble trying to reap, and boy is reaping tiring," Papyrus said. I think I might kill someone brutally...and force Paps to take a nap from time to time.
It seemed as if Papyrus wanted to add to his sentence, but he didn't
Undyne came up to me and put me in a headlock and started giving me a nuggie on the skull, "Where have you been you lazy bones!" Undyne said with a smirk, rubbing her knuckles on my head, "Ahh! Don't nuggie the skeleton!!!" I yelled as Undyne laughed, but stopped.
I chuckled once Undyne stopped, but now MY head hurts.
Everyone kept telling me how they missed me, how they've been looking for me. I could only just...smile, as bad much as I wanted them to keep trying to find me, to keep looking, to keep missing me.
I could only force a smile...
I didn't really wanna be there...I'm supposed to be happy, I'm supposed to be excited for all the stories they could tell me, for me to catch up with there adventures, but...I'm not really interested...I just want things to go back to normal with just Geno, Frisk, and I...
I didn't want to reconnect with my family...this is more awkward than anything.
They kept asking about what I've done, and how Geno and I met...things gotten heated real quickly as we tried to explain the story...
"W-Well..." I tried starting off, but Geno helped me, "Reaper was doing his job of reaping and he found me!" Geno said, then I started, "So...I tried killing Geno, but Geno can't die," I said.
They looked confused, probably thinking if Geno was some sort of god, like themselves.
"Then we started talking more...and now we're friends!" Geno said.
I'd really like it if Geno said lovers really...honestly...
"Wait- G-Geno right?" Alphys started. Geno nodded, telling Alphys that she got his name right. "You didn't d-die from Sans's t-touch?" Alphys asked, "Yeah! I didn't" Geno said.
Everyone was confused, "H-How? That's im-impossibles!" Alphys said Geno chuckled, "Frankly, it's not for me and my Frisk...we're already dead in our AUm but we both have determination keeping us alive...that's mostly the only reason we're not dead yet...not fully anyways..." Geno explained.
Alphys started muttering theories.
Everyone kept asking more questions till they didn't have anymore, then they offered to play board games, and cook for us.
Geno really wanted to stay the night, so I just bared it all.
We stayed all day. Frisk and Geno offered to sleep on the couch, and I could sleep in my old room. I wonder if they changed anything.
It was about 12:37 and everyone was asleep. Geno, Frisk and I were watching TV till the two of them fell asleep.
I had turned the TV off and walked upstairs to my room. I opened the room door, and everything was...sort of the same.
The room was clean, but everything I left was still there...even the glass lily Tori gave me.
I smiled contently...this might be the only thing I've enjoyed being at this AU...being home.
I look back downstairs from the corridor and looked at Geno. I rather he sleep in a bed then the couch, and I rather him not be alone with Frisk...Frisk is an idiot.
I walked back downstairs and quietly scooped Geno up in my arms, bridal style. They leaned there head on my chest as I walked them upstairs to my room.
I placed them under the covers and started to walk away to go sleep in a chair in my room, but Geno grabbed my sleeve.
"S-Stay..." Geno muttered out. I hummed at them with a warm smile.
I guess we've slept before...this wouldn't be any different from last time...right? I thought
I took off my shoes and cloak, and quietly shimmed my way next to Geno.
Geno held onto my waist as he pulled me closer, resting his head on my chest.
THIS IS WAY DIFFERENT! I thought
Geno was so close, I could feel my heart pounding as my face turned hot and blue. I could feel Geno faint breathing through my clothes and onto my ribs.
It felt so nice...
This is wrong! I shouldn't be thinking of such things! Geno isn't like that, and Geno would be mad at me for thinking such things! As much as it feels nice to...hold Geno in my arms...to see them breathe in there sleep, to...felt every slight movement in their body...
STOP STOP STOP!!!
God this is way too much for me! I don't really deserve to be in this position! Maybe I can't get out of bed without Geno realizing-
"Reaper..." Geno spoke in his sleep. I looked down on him, as he looked up at me, "Did...you enjoy yourself today?" Geno asked.
I hummed, but not in a good way, more like an uncertain way. "Not...really...I felt more uncomfortable if you know what I mean..." I replied Geno hummed in understanding, "Why did you leave?" Geno asked, "I..."
Why did I leave...for so long as well...I guess anger, pettiness, maybe I was scared?
I mean, I guess I've established this, and it was because they lied to me, but...now...I'm not even sure...
"I'm not so sure anymore..." I replied, "...Geno?" I spoke, "Hmm?" Geno hummed, "Do...do you..."
Is right now a really good time to ask? I'm not even sure...
They could just want company, they might not see me in that way...I could do better than this! The moment need to be perfect, and right now...being in bed with Geno, seems a bit...sexual...
"...do you care for me?...like...a lot?" I asked. Geno nodded, "As much as an idiot you are...I still care for you...you're my friend..." Geno said.
Is that really how Geno sees me...only as a friend?
Is this what they call being stuck in the friend zone?
"Geno...how do you really feel about me?" I asked. Geno tilted his head, "What do you mean?" Geno asked, "Do you...only see me as a friend?" I asked.
Geno yawned, "Well...I see you like a lot of things...a friend...ally, I feel comfortable around you, like I can tell you anything...I can goof around you, and fight by your side...you'd always help me, and I'd always help you...I don't ever want to spend a day without you in it..." Geno said.
This is so confusing now...
Are you saying we're friends or are you saying that we can be more than friends?
GOSH GENO YOUR SO HARD TO READ!
Geno yawned again, causing me to yawn.
"Anyways...we should get some sleep..." Geno said with a hum as he closed his eyes.
I guess we should sleep...
I closed my eyes, wrapping my arms around Geno, as Geno did the same...
I really want Geno to be in my arms... every day...
