The extremely embarrassed couple, especially the smaller, were approaching the place suggested by Reaper.

They were nervous because in some public transport, several children and some old people shouted and murmured, making the couple uncomfortable. As for example, the little ones pointed at them to shout and ask:

"Mama, Mama! Are those skeletons boyfriends?!"

"Papi, look! I've never seen skeletons and they love each other very much!"

"Mami, Papi! Look, look! They treat each other like you two!"

Etc. . . Etc.

And the elderly and adults:

"Hey Rosa, look at that. The skeletons are so rare that they must be together with their same gender."

"What a beautiful couple they are. They remind me of me and my bushy when he was alive."

"Fagots. . ."

"Oh, how cute love is!"

And of course, the little ones were silenced by their parents immediately and Geno yelled at the elders for their offensive comments. Reaper, on the other hand, only calmed him down while and made jokes about his blush, ending in nervous laughter.

Being close to the location, Reaper stopped in front of a stair ramp, confusing the smaller. He wanted to surprise him by keeping it a mystery.

Geno: Um. . . Reaper?

Reaper: We're here, just give me a second~.

With a flirtatious smile, he took a cloth handkerchief out of his pocket and moves it in front of the smaller as if he wanted him to admire it.

Geno: What are you doing?

Reaper: I just want the surprise to be even bigger, my angel.

Geno: -blush- H-Hey. . . I must remind you that my pain is still there.

Reaper: Relax, it's nothing sexual, no matter how much I like the idea~.

Geno: -sighs relieved- Good. . . If you want to surprise me so much with that, give me the handkerchief, I'll wear it.

Reaper: Nope~

Geno only gave his boyfriend a perplexed look, while he positioned himself behind his beloved. Then, he covered his eyes with the handkerchief, passing it under his glitch and covered his good eye, making sure he couldn't see anything.

Reaper: Done, I want to make sure you're not going to spy a bit.

Geno: -nervous- I-Is this safe?

Reaper: Of course. Don't you trust me?

Geno: T-To be honest. . . No.

Reaper: Oww. . . Calm down, hehe, you'll love it.

Geno: Since that's coming from you. . . I doubt it.

Reaper: Heh. . . Rude~.

Geno laughed in response Reaper climbed the ramp slowly so as not to scare his lover, because the smaller was very attached to the chair as if he was preparing for the climb of a Russian mountain. He was afraid of something.

And he didn't know why, well, he was really afraid that Reaper would be careless and he was afraid of the place he was taking him to.

.  .  .

Upon reaching the top, the chair returned to its normal position and Geno could relax with a sign of relief. As they headed to the entrance, Geno only listened as Reaper greeted some people who welcomed him. Geno felt like his boyfriend released the chair. He had parked it near a wall and positioned himself in front of the smaller.

Reaper: I'll be back angel. I'll just go see something. Don't move from here, ok? And for nothing in the universe, take off your handkerchief. You'll ruins the surprise.

When the taller spoke it sounded like his voice echoes a little in the place. Geno was a little scared.

Geno: Re-Reaper. . . Where are we? C-Come on, tell me.

Reaper: Calm down cutie, I don't want to ruin your surprise. And if I'd tell you, it wouldn't be worth it, right? Hehe~

Geno: -sigh- T-That's true. Alright, I'll wait here. . .

Reaper: Heh, I'll be right back.

The smaller nodded doubtfully and only heard the steps of his boyfriend moving away from his position.

.  .  .

A few minutes later, Geno nervously played with his fingers, intertwining them impatiently for Reaper to arrive. He only heard the voices and footsteps of people entering.

And again, people's criticisms and whispers began again.

"Is that monster kidnapped?" "No idiot, he has already escaped." "Maybe someone is watching him."

"Ma' that monster is blindfolded."

"Oh, is he in danger?"

"Oh no, he's bleeding from his mouth."

When the people noticed the half-dead, they began to worry. Well, Geno being in a wheelchair, blindfolded and also bleeding from the mouth, it seemed that something was not right, so an older woman took courage and approached the smaller to get out of doubt.

Stranger: Excuse me, young man.

'Young man? Pfff- I would like to be. It's the second time they tell me' He thought gracefully.

Stranger: Are you okey?

Geno: Uh. . . S-Sure. . . ma'am?

Stranger: You are confident, they are many people here. -mumbles- Have you been kidnapped?

Geno: Ex-Excuse me?

In a few seconds a mass of people, along with the woman, had whispered and drew conclusions around Geno, far too worried. It seemed like someone had left him there dying because of the blood in his mouth. He also wasn't moving from that spot. That must have given him more of an image that he was abandoned.

Or as the lady had said. Kidnapped.

The half-dead was baffled, because the questions and the voices of the people were making him nervous. He didn't know what was happening.

Stranger: . . . Young man?

Geno: A-Ah yes, sorry. . . I'm not kidnapped, I assure you.

Stranger: Are you sure? It doesn't matter if they are threatening you to say nothing, you should take advantage of the fact that there are many people here.

Geno: N-No no, it's ok, really. I'm just waiting for someone.

Stranger: Really? Oh, alright young man. . . I would be relieved that way. But, I'm still worried about something. . . Why the blindfold and the blood in your mouth? It's a lot!

Geno raised his hand very nervous because he had completely forgot that big detail. The reason why people had not noticed before was because he covered himself a little with his scarf and looked down, but the nervousness of waiting for Reaper made him completely unaware of it.

Geno: T-This? Ah! . . . It's a. . . -idea- I've been robbed earlier and I had to defend myself, hehe. -laughs nervously-  And I won.

The woman was surprised by that answer and smiled a little. It seemed like she had swallowed the excuse of the half-dead. And while Geno listened attentively to her telling about her grandfather, a big blow was heard outside the place.

The aforementioned gave a small gasp.

The curious people around Geno headed out to see what happened, leaving aside their interest they had for the "kidnapped", except for the woman.

Stranger: It seems it was a car. I'll go see, don't you want to come?

Geno: U-Uh. . .

Stranger: Why don't you take off your handkerchief and see what happened?

The woman was worried about Geno and wanted to convince him to leave that corner. Not that she was nosy, she was just trying to help the skeletons. Even so, the smaller was doubting whether to keep what he promised, not to move from there. After all, he wanted to know what had happened.

But before Geno responded to the kind woman, he heard how other footsteps approached their position and the lady getting up.

Reaper: I'm back, sorry if I made you wait, Geno.

Geno: O-Oh. . . Reaper!

Stranger: Are you with him?

Reaper: Yes, why?

Stranger: -sigh- Phew- What a relief! Everyone here thought he was in danger.

Reaper: . . .

Geno: Yeah. . . They thought I was kidnapped because of the handkerchief and the blood in my mouth.

Stranger: Hah. Yes. May I ask what you are doing blindfolded here in the--

Before that sentence was completed, Reaper cleared his throat a little loudly, interrupting the woman's attention and immediately signalled her to shut up with his finger.

Reaper: It's just a surprise and I don't want him to know where we are.

Geno: -snorts- I would say that we are in a church because of the echo.

Stranger: -laughs- I can assure you that it's not a church.

Geno: Heh. . . Thanks. Ah! I forgot, what happened outside?

Reaper: . . . Surely it was just a big tree that fell on the road.

Stranger: Really? If that is the case, I don't think it should be very important. There is no traffic in this area yet.

Reaper: Yep. Well, it's time to get in. Thank you for taking care of him while he wasn't, heh.

Geno: -nervous- . . .

Stranger: Haha, I'm just cautious.

Reaper: I used it with my boyfriend so I guess it's good.

Geno: -blush- REAPER!

Stranger: -surprised- Y-You're his--

Reaper: Well, good talk, Goodbye!

Geno also said goodbye very distressed and the grim reaper, without waiting for a response from the lady, took the handles of the wheelchair and went deeper into the place. It was as if he was avoiding the woman, and of course the smaller realized it.

Geno: Reaper, what was that?

Reaper: I just wanted to get in as fast as possible, we have already wasted a lot of time.

Geno: Of course. -crosses arms-

Reaper: Angel, I wanted to bring you in fast before that crowd takes you away to some authority for thinking you're kidnapped.

Geno: . . . But I was just getting by!

Reaper: I know, I just got you out of there, no need to worry.

Geno: -calms down- Ugh. . .

Reaper: Did I mention that you're the most perfect being in the multiverse~?

Geno: . . . Shut up Reaper.

Reaper: Hehe, At least I managed to calm you down~.

Geno: Tsk.

When entering the place the half-dead only listened carefully to know where he was and to tell the truth, he didn't hear the echo of before and only the wheels of the chair could be heard, being pushed by Reaper. For Geno, the atmosphere was becoming tense, because even with his sockets closed, it didn't perceive the light of before.

Geno: Re-Reaper, Where are we?

Reaper: Shh~ -whispers- We shouldn't make much noise, angel~.

Geno: -whispers too- . . . Alright. . . If it's some kind of cult I swear I'm going to--

Reaper: -interrupts him- No, it's not, calm down. It's nothing you don't like. I swear you'll like it. We'll be there soon.

Geno calmed down a bit but still didn't trust Reaper at all. He decided to keep quiet until his boyfriend told him to take off the blindfold or notice any drastic change.
