Chapter five
(Reapers POV)
I told her what she wanted to know she seemed intrigued, finally when I finished she seemed... well actually I'm not sure what she seemed, "is that the letter?" I nodded she stood up and picked it from the counter, I made no move to stop her I guess it was a gut feeling. Perhaps she is the one that Skelton was talking about, She set it down with a sigh.
"Now do you think you can answer a few of my questions." I asked, she looked at me tearing her gaze from the letter. "Yes." She sat down and gave me her ultimate attention.
She seemed far more wiser then any child I've ever seen making me suspicious . "Do you know this Skelton?" I asked getting up and grabbed the photo of me and the stranger, sliding it across to her on the table she took it.
Her lips lifted in to a small smile "yes." Letting out a breath of relief I sat back down "Can you tell me about him? I think he might be the missing piece of the puzzle I've been searching for and.." seeing her expression Change made me falter. "He dosent want to see me, dose he"
She frowned more "no it's not that, you guys where such great friends, you mean the world to him and he would love. LOVE to see you but.." she looked at the table pushing back her hair, "he can't though" I stared at her bewildered, "finally someone's actually telling me somthing and I find out the very missing piece to all this doesn't- Cant see me?!" She shrunk a bit at my tone. "Reaper I-" cutting her off I felt my cooleness slowly melt away replaced by a heated anger, "Are you kidding me?? Do you know how lost I've been??? I can't remember a single thing and anytime I try to figure it out I get more questions! Hah! You've got to be joking right??? That must be it"
Shaking my head in disbelief she just stared at her hands, I felt my self grow cold as my mock smile
Vanished "if he supposedly "can't" see me then he isn't worth seeing at all I guess, unless you can prove me wrong. That is" I challenged.
She let out a small short laugh, "they can remove your memories but not your insistence, I looked at her confused. "Even if we did tell you, you wouldn't believe it" I shrugged "I've had a lot of strange people bust in my house I think you can try me"
She stared at the floor, shaking her head slightly, "Fine stay here" she stood up fast and went for the door quickly.
"Wait!" I called but she was already out the door running through the woods. "Hey!" I yelled chasing after her, for a kid she was fast darting through the trail.
Quickly I lost sight of her out of breath slightly I looked around, the clearing I had slowly stopped in, cursing I gave a light kick to the berry bushes that littered the field.
I could tell easily, by the sweet smell of them, wait. That smell, I know I've... turning my back I looked down at the berry bushes and crouched.
Squinting to see the the berries, I felt a oddly familiarity to them, it felt silly of course I probably had these their popular in the market after all but I had that nagging feeling like something important occurred here.
That Skelton... the one with the honey coloured eyes, he was.. trailing off I held a hand to my skull squeezing my eye sockets shut I felt a sharp pain in my head it hurt to think to much about this. Sighing I stood up "what's the point" I muttered about to head back.
"Reaper?" said a shaking voice behind me, I looked up from the ground. That voice.. "Reaper" he repeated. Yes he, I think turning my head to look over my shoulder it was him.
The one who seemingly could answer everything. The one that keeps appearing in every question I have, if time could freeze i could swear it would have done at that moment.
He put a hand over his mouth, he had tears in his eyes sockets, turning fully around my mind went blank. Something tugged at the back of my mind, a word, no not a word a name.
"Geno?" I questioned he nodded running to me he batterd in to me making me let out a soft oof. "Imsosorryimsosorryimsosorry!" He repeated over and over in to my chest his voice rattled with tremors.
I was at a loss, looking up I saw Frisk who smiled slightly, I had so many questions. Finally when he pulled back he looked at me a laughed slightly cupping my face.
"I-i know you don't probably remember all of me or maybe not even any of me at all but I love you. , I love you so so so much Reaper" he said with such sincerity.

(Genos POV)
Me Frisk and reaper sat at the table in the small little cottage that I used to call home. Having a cup of tea in hands I looked between the both. I couldn't believe I was here, Frisk said we would have to go home before sunrise but for now I was here.
Looking at reaper he stared at the table lost in thoughts, squinting his eyes at the table he looked at me holding that expression, "why?" Swallowing my fears of the conversation afraid he might hate me I shook my head "I can try answer as many questions as you might have but know that I won't be able to answer all"
He had a disbelieving look at me, "who are you to me" "we where in a relationship, but it's what ever you want it to be now." I forced my voice not to shake at the end.
"Why did you leave?" "..W-We actually left together, Their was some bad people, but things...happened. and you had to be sent away to here."
"Why?" I remained silent my leg bounced with anxiety, I heard him growl in frustration, "why did I wake up in the woods, why do I have no memory?" I remained quite again my attention drawn to the middle of the table.
"Why did you not come sooner?" I wanted to tell him everything but the fear of saying to much and repeating what happened made me swallow the words that threatened to come out.
"I couldn't." I said stiffly He slammed his fist on the table making me and frisk flinch, "you said you'd be answering my questions But how am I supposed to get answers when your not saying anything."
"Your just like the rest." I shook my head, "Reaper.." I began "no. If you where supposed to love me then why are you keeping everything from me?? What's so bad that happend?????" His voice was raising in volume straining at it slightly.
I could take it, it felt like some one was wrenching a knife in my soul, "Your a demon! Okay?? I-i know it sounds surreal! But it's true, the queen, she... she put you on trial and you where guilty. They sent you here erasing your memory of e-everyone."
Frisk looked alarmed, "Geno?!" She said, I shook my head "no, No more secrets! He deserves to know! We erased his memories, it's our fault and we need to own up to it"
Almost forgetting reaper was here my attention quickly snapped back to him as he let out a low chuckle.
Looking at him his hoodie covered his face as he was now stood up, "you got to be kidding me" he said in between laughter. Which broke out even more.
"Great Geno. You broke him" Frisk said shaking her head at me I shook my head "why are you laughing?" He locked eyes with me suddenly being very serious that it was almost frightening. He was still a demon after all, a demon that barely has the parts reaper had when he had his memories.
Reaper grew up with a lack of hate towards angels, and the events of that which cause his lack of hate where erased too.
The look in his eyes sent chills down my spine and for once in a long long time I feared what he could do with this knowledge. That is, if he believed me.
"Your telling me.." he trailed off laughing at the thought. "I suppose it makes sense. The books in one of the rooms, some torn up notes with names such a humility. I mean it's either that or I was such a nerd."
He trailed a hand to the necklace I gave him. One of his hands where resting in his pocket the other fiddled with the charm.
"It dose have a striking resemblance. The question is, what are you?" I looked at Frisk nervously standing up, "your the sin of pride, im the virtue of humility" he smirked "so opposites. So let's say I do buy this. And play along" he took a step forward "where. Is. Your, proof" he was now inches away, I could see the way his hand bawled in to a fist and the deep breaths he was taking to calm down.
The sun was also going to come up soon. Cupping his face I pulled him in to a kiss, surprising him Frisk made a giggle and covered her eyes. Still holding his face "I'll tell you tomorrow night I promise, I'll give you the proof you deserve. I swear on the gates of the heavens them selves."
"For now at least, I have to go, I can't let her catch me here, but take this" I dug in my pocket and found a sharp switch blade, easy enough to kill a demon but it is unable to harm a angel "If they come for you use it against them. It's all I can do for now"
He looked at it and put it in his pocket. "I guess you should have this then. Confused he left to the other room. "Found it in a drawer" he called walking back with something in his hand. "I guess it was mine." Confused he beckoned me to hold out my wrist and I did so.
He clipped the item around it. Looking at the black Metal chain it had a little charm on it that resembled a demon with a black cloak with out the hood up. Smiling slightly I looked up at him "I'll keep it forever." I breathed he smiled slightly back.
"I hate to ruin this moment. But we have to go Geno" I nodded at Frisk "I swear reaper I will be back" he nodded, that's when I noticed the red letter i grabbed it sneakily hiding it in my pocket as frisk said something him.
When she had finished he nodded at me and we left, hopefully we make it with out getting caught.
