---Nightmare's POV----

"Sooo, you and Geno huh?" Horror drawled.

Reaper growled and sent him one of his famous soul stopping death stares. Horror looked away just in time.

"What's going on?" Dust asked, genuinely confused. I have to say, I had not clue what they were on about either.

"Well basically-" Horror started.

"Say one more word and you'll wake up tomorrow with a knife in your soul." Reaper threatened.

Horror laughed and shrugged. "Imma tell them. So basically I was walking home, but I decided to go via the park with Lust because apparently the flowers there are really pretty or something. Anyways, so we're just walking along when we see these two people sat on a bench."

"Stop talking." Reaper growled.

"Nah. I like telling stories. So anyway I see these two people sat on this bench, and for some reason they looked really familiar. So being the curious shit that I am, I decided to walk over and investigate. Trying to look as natural as possible."

"You looked the opposite of normal." Reaper muttered, seeming to give up on stopping Horror from telling his story.

"I don't care. So I get closer and literally fell over in shock when I saw who it was. There was Reaper! Sat casually on a bench with that Geno!"

We all stared at Reaper. "You were hanging out with Geno at the park?"

He didn't answer and we all looked at each other, bursting into roars of laugher, the sound carrying across the field.

Reaper groaned and pulled his hood down over his face. "Aww come on Reaper." Dust gasped in between laughs. "We know we love you really.
"Mmhm."

I took in deep breaths and calmed my breathing, looking up and out across the field. Quite a few people had heard our sudden outburst and were looking over at us curiously.

I looked back as the others tried to calm themselves down. "I'm sorry Reaper." Horror chuckled. "But I just had to tell them!"

Reaper just growled and looked away.

I smirked and looked back out across the field. "Screw you guys." Reaper muttered, standing up and walking off down the field.

"I bet he's going to find Geno." Dust laughed.

"Oh for sure." Horror purred.

I watched as Reaper started to float, preferring that to walking. As he went I noticed Cross. He was watching me, but looked away quickly as he realised I'd spotted him.

I looked across the other side of the field to see that same bully gang also watching him. Cross had been smart though, he'd stayed in a place where there were at least three teachers near. That meant the gang wouldn't go and attack him.

But then the teachers wandered off into the cafeteria.

I looked back at Cross to see him watching them go in, a desperate expression on his face. I quickly looked at the other end of the field to see the group was already making their way over to him.

"And he's gonna get beaten up again." Dust muttered, having followed my gaze.

I didn't respond and watched Cross, waiting for him to catch my eye. He looked over at me, as if for help and I simply raised a hand, beckoning him over.

He looked over at the gang, they had seen my gesture and walked faster over to him. Cross started speed walking over to us but it turned into running as the gang suddenly lunged forwards towards him.

He sprinted over to us and I stood up, letting him run behind me. The gang slowed down and stopped, murderous expressions on their face.

"Go torment someone else!" I called to them. "This kids with us now!"

They growled and shot me death stares before slinking back down the field.

I turned to face Cross. He was glaring at their backs as they left but he quickly looked up at me and his expression turned from pissed to nervous.

I didn't say anything and sat back down, patting the space next to me. Cross sat down hesitantly but seemed to relax as he realised that we weren't going to trick or hurt him.

I could see the gang watching us from the other side of the field and I smirked. Your not going to be able to get him now are you?

---Geno's POV----

Peace and quiet. That's all that concerned me at the moment. Just peace and quiet so that I could finish my book. I was literally one chapter away from finishing my newest book.

I had bought the whole hunger games series over the weekend and I'm already on the last book. It has a decent plotline I guess. If I lived in that world, I'd probably volunteer if my brother got picked. But then again he's already dead.

I was literally on the last page when a shadow loomed over me. I sighed and placed my finger on the line I was reading and looked up to see Reaper.

"Wait five seconds so that I can finish." I muttered, looking back down at my page and continuing to read.

"Its been five seconds."

"Shut up."

Reaper let out a low chuckle and floated down so that his feet were actually touching the floor. I could see them at the top of my vision.

For some reason, Reaper always went everywhere bare foot. I've never seen him with shoes on, or anything in general that covers your feet.

"Done." I sighed, shutting the book.

"That was seventeen seconds, not five."

"Screw you." I muttered, placing my book to the side and shifting up so that Reaper could join me. He sat down and smiled, closing his eyes and relishing the silence.

I looked down at his bare feet again, the bones were surprisingly clean considering how dirty the field and school corridors are. But then again, he never actually walks, he just floats a few inches off of the ground.

"Why do you not wear shoes?" I asked, genuinely curious as to why he's always bare foot.

"Hmm?" He hummed, opening an eye lazily and glancing at me.

"Why don't you wear shoes?" I asked again.

He let out a chuckle and closed his eye again. "I've never worn them. Even as a child I went bare foot. Shoes just aren't my thing."

"Oh." I muttered.

Reaper glanced at me. "Were you expecting some elaborate tale about how I fought and battles a dragon only to have it scorch my feet so badly that wearing shoes caused me agony, so I stayed bare foot and floated everywhere to ease my pain?"

I let out a snort of laughter. "Sure, something like that."

Reaper hummed and leaned back on his arms, letting the sun warm his face. I did the same and smiled.

"Why'd you come here. Aren't you supposed to be with your little group?"

Reaper sighed. "Horror told them about yesterday and now they won't shut up."

I looked away as I felt my face heat up. "Oh."

We hadn't planned on meeting yesterday. We just sorts bumped into each other whilst walking. Well, Reaper was floating, but that's not the point.

Then we had ended up sitting down on a bench and chatting. Not expecting Horror and his slut to turn up.

We had separated as soon as Horror had run off, not wanting to be killed by the two of us. Reapers been pretty casual about it. Like he didn't really think much of it.

For me it was all I could think of.

Before Horror had interrupted, Reaper had been trying to tell me something. But he never did say what it was...

I glanced over at Reaper.

What had he wanted to tell me?
