My Guardian Nightmare

Chp. 46 - A teasing God

Error fidgeted with his hands a bit before he then nods slowly at Reaper's response. "But... But what if he's ignoring me...?" Error frowned a bit more.
"What if... I did something wrong and... He hates me?" Error mumbled, rubbing his arms. "Ever since we met, we usually talk everyday... I'm- I guess I'm just worried that... that Nightymare would leave me forever..." Error murmured.

Reaper looked at Error and smiled lightly. Awww, little strange child was adorable. ,,Don't worry, little one. If Nightmare were to hate you, you wouldn't stand here and talk to me right now. He's just busy. And believe me, he won't hate you because you did something wrong.  He needed to deal with fire made by idiots every day and doesn't hate them."

"H-Huh...?" Error blinked a bit in surprise. "Oh no! Are they okay? The fire isn't bad right?"
And now Error's focus went to the fire now, at least he was distracted from his sudden negativity.

Reaper blinked, before chuckling.
,,Nah, they're okay. Nightmare's just always angry that his castle is burned down and he needs to rebuild it, but usually he just grounds his idiots and that's it. The fire is an everyday thing, really. Hey, that could be the reason he is busy. That his castle is burned... again and it takes longer to rebuild it."

Error slowly nodded. "Okay... Does... Does Nightymare not hate me then...?"
Error sheepishly fidgeted with his goop once more before looking around once more.

Reaper shook his head. ,,Nope, little guy. Believe me, if he would hate you, I would've known of your existence way earlier."
The skeleton tilted curiously his head. ,,It seems like he found a liking on you, actually, from what you told me."

"I see..." Error then smiled a bit in relief. "That's... That's a relief..." It was, but now he's confused about something else. "But... What do you mean about knowing my existence...? And earlier, you said that no one should see you..." Error then glanced down.
"And... How are you... Flying? Are you also magic?" Error then glanced back up at Reaper, ah, childish curiosity.

The skeleton grinned a bit. ,,Well, Nightmare and I meet occasionally and talk about stuff. He just rants about people he doesn't like, or how annoying his boys sometimes are. But he never told me of you, I guess because he knows what's now expecting him." The robed man snickered with a mischievous smile.

,,And yeah, I am also magic. In fact, I am practically made of magic. Let me introduce tp you properly: I am Reaper, god of Death. Things I touch die. And things I don't touch, can't really decide who dies. I just know who does... for this week. Need ta reap their SOULs. That's why I am suprised that you're able to touch me and survive it... I mean, normally only Nightmare and someone else can touch me... Maybe it's Nightmare's influence? I don't know..."

Error blinked at that before giving off a soft gasp. "That's... That's so cool...! You're like- like, the second person with magic I've met!" Error whisper yelled excitedly, jumping a bit up and down, uncaring of the whispers directed at him from some stupid onlookers.
"You're really cool then Mr. Reaper!" Error softly chirped.

Reaper grinned slightly. ,,Yeah, I know that I am cool. I am Death after all. Anyways, you should do... whatever you wanted to do, imma need ta go. Unless you want me to stay?"

"Umm... Would... Wouldn't it be weird if you stayed? I mean- others could see you..." Error trailed off in thought.
"Maybe it's okay if you don't stay..." Error sheepishly said. "But we'll meet again, right?"

Reaper shrugged. ,,I mean, yeah, probably. But I am doing my job most of the time, so I guess we could meet again when Nightmare decides to take you with him to our coffee meeting? But you would need to be way older, coffee isn't something for children."
