A few days later, Geno's POV
I smile as I run ahead through the trees. I hold the walking stick tightly that Gaster gave me as I go. Apparently Reaper's powers in that black vile were put into me as part of the experiments. He has been extracting it in small amounts at a time from me to fix it, giving Reaper his powers back.
"Geno! Wait up! You'll hurt yourself!"Reaper shouts after me
"I'm fine! Come on!"I say, reaching the tree
I smile, hearing Reaper catch up.
"Look!"I say, pointing up to the carving
He is silent.
I turn around to see him gazing at me instead. I point up at it and he only gazes at it shortly, his smile fading, before looking at me and smiling again. I could see the spark of recognition when he looked at it. I frown, crossing my arms.
"What's wrong?"He asks
"You've seen it already! I can tell! That's not fair! I wanted to surprise you! You hardly care to look at it!"I say
He comes closer, wrapping his arms around me.
"I love it, Gen. It's lovely."He coos
"Hmph."I huff, looking away
"Aww, don't be like that. I have seen it but that's all. When did you make it?"He asks, nuzzling his head against mine
"W-When I was an owl...After the Reaperlings shooed me away from you..."I say
"Hmm, interesting."He says, kissing my head
"How the heck did you even find it out of all these trees? When did you see it?"I ask
"I was simply wandering around and it caught my eye. It was a lovely surprise but now I can't help but focus on the beautiful creator of it.~"He coos
"Oh shut up."I chuckle, looking turning my head away
He sure has a way of sweet-talking his way out of things.
"What? It's true! I love you and get drawn in by you more than some bark on a tree could! I'm engaged to you, not a tree!"He says
I sigh, shaking my head. I smile up at him. His eyes twinkle at me.
"Speaking of which, I can't wait for our marriage! I'm eager to see you in that beautiful dr-"He begins
"Absolutely not!"I snap, catching on before he could finish
"Huh? Why not?"He asks
"One word for you: Reapandro! I want it to be our day, not like that one!"I say
"Good point, you'd be too beautiful regardless of what you wear."He says
"There's such a thing as too much beauty?"I ask teasingly
"When it interferes with me functioning on our big day, yes."He says
"So, how would you feel about me in a suit?"I ask
"Too handsome."He says
"I have to wear something!"I say
"Do you?~"He asks
I caught onto his joke and my face burns.
"Reaper!"I snap
He chuckles.
"Hmph. My brother would kill you if you actually tried something like you implied."I mutter, hiding in my scarf
"Not you?"He asks
