Getting To Know Death Himself

You had waken up,clutching the robe as tightly as you were when you fell asleep. Were you really THAT desperate for any kind of contact? You sighed slightly as you sat up. You knew your family was gone sense you were the only one without a job. They had forbade you from going out sense they didn't want you disgracing the family name.

You had gotten out of "bed", it wasn't really a bed. More or less a mattress on the ground with one pillow and two blankets, either way you had gotten up. You sighed a bit as you took your hoodie off, tossing it across the room. You had failed to wrap the bandages tight enough so some blood got on your sleeves and pant legs.

You changed out of your pants and into some leggings, you were about to put a shirt on when you glanced at your bed. Your eyes had landed on the cloak and you couldn't resist. You made your way back over to your bed and picked up the cloak, putting it on. Surprisingly the cloak was a bit big for you, though you didn't completely mind sense you liked baggy clothes. They covered you up and made you feel safer.

You walked over to your door, unlocking it as you let the scent of the cloak fill your nose. It didn't smell like death or decay, more like fresh rainfall on some flowers or grass. It really put you in a good mood knowing that scent would be majority of what you could smell for the day. You walked out of your room,humming a bit as you walked to the kitchen. You skipped dinner because of yesterdays event so you were famished.

You popped open the fridge and took a peek inside, nothing but leftovers from past dinners and a few scattered ingredients to make more dinner. Nothing of you interest so you closed the fridge door and walked over to the pantry, doing a quick scan of the shelves. You had paused on a family sized bag of chips, they had been eaten to the half way point so there was only about half the bag left. Seemed good enough for your meal for the day. 

You grabbed  the chips and made you way back to your room closing the door. Just as you turned around you spotted Reaper in the middle of you room, it caused you to jump and drop the bag of chips.

He slightly turned his head and smiled when he saw it was you.

"Hey [Y/N], how'd you sleep?" he had offered you a soft smile as you bent down to pick up the bag

"It was actually pretty decent, I think it was thanks to your cloak" you slightly tugged on the cloak, blushing a bit as you remember  you were wearing it. You also noticed her was wearing a practically identical cloak to the one you're wearing.

"That's good, I'm glad I could help" he let out a small laugh as he...floated over to the bed. You guess you never noticed how he didn't actually touch the floor until now. Once he reached your bed he sat down, looking around your room.

You walked over and sat across from him on your  bed, opening the bag of chips. You placed it in between the two of you.

"You you wanna have some chips just grab some, I don't mind" you smiled before picking up a few chips, popping them into your mouth

"Is that really all you're gonna eat?" 

"Well, yea. I don't have time to make myself three meals before everyone gets home so I normally pick a decent sized snack and that's my food for the day" 

You heard Reaper sigh as he got off the bed and you began panicking. Had you saying you hardly ate upset him? Was he going to leave? You started shaking a bit.

"I-I'm sorry!" you had said that pretty loudly, practically out of instinct 

"What?" you heard him lightly chuckle "Don't apologize, you haven't done anything wrong"

"B-But I thought you were going to leave.." your voice had grown quieter and quieter as you spoke, all you could feel at the moment was fear.

"Kid, I was just gonna go get you some actual food beside some chips. I wouldn't have left you for good ya goof" 

You felt relieved and pretty silly all at the same time.

"O-Oh.." you softly chuckled to yourself at how stupid you sounded for thinking that "Thank you Reaper"

"Don't mention it, now I'll be back in a jiffy" 

In the blink of an eye he was gone, but you weren't afraid sense he said he'd be back soon. In the mean time you were gonna continue to eat these chips.

Reaper had popped back in, once again, the blink of an eye. He had a paper bag with the word "Grillby's" written on it. You just assumed it was a monster restaurant as he passed the bag to you. Inside was a burger,fries, and a couple condiments. You thanked Reaper and began eating, enjoying every bite.

You had finished everything so you tossed the empty bag into the corner of your room after crumbling it up. You sighed in content, actually feeling full for once in you life. You two had begun talking after you had finished and somehow the conversation landed on Reaper talking about him and his family, along with his godly life.

"It's not too bad being The God of Death, besides the 'anything living that I touch will shrivel up and die at immediate contact' doesn't bother me though. Tori, our very own Goddess Of Life, made me a glass flower or two that look pretty close to the real thing. So that makes up for it a bit"

You nodded slightly, just listening to him


"Y'know, Tori and me started off on the wrong foot with the whole y'know. I'm all about death, she's all bout living. I kill, she creates. Yada yada yada, you get the point. Though, when we actually started hanging out we realized we both had a lot in common. We're both suckers for a bad joke or two, we both have a book of puns and the most obvious one, we're both immortal beings! Ain't that crazy?"

You laughed at him, knowing he was just being goofy. Though it warmed your heart to know two complete polar opposites can get along. From there it went down a rabbit hole of bad jokes and puns which spiraled down to you laughing so hard you almost peed.

In the end you found out the death was quite the funny man.

The time had come for Reaper to leave, you were a bit upset but you knew he would be back tomorrow. So you both said your farewells as you prepared yourself for everyone to get home.
