(Exter POV)

I suddenly woke up in a...room? Wasn't I just in crow's au- wait. Jolting up into a sitting position on the bed I'm on, I look around and notice the room was quite dark. Well I prefer this anyway, I don't want to be blinded with a bright light shining into my face or a bright colored room burning my eye light.

Moving off the bed, I go towards what I assume is the door and grab the knob and right when I open it, I almost bump into reaper. 'What is reaper doing here?' I wondered as I stared at reaper in confusion. Seeing my confusion, reaper decides to speak up. "Sᴇᴇɪɴɢ ᴛʜᴀᴛ ʟᴏᴏᴋ ᴏɴ ʏᴏᴜʀ ғᴀᴄᴇ, I'ᴍ ɢᴜᴇssɪɴɢ ʏᴏᴜ ᴅᴏɴ'ᴛ ʀᴇᴍᴇᴍʙᴇʀ ᴡʜᴀᴛ ʏᴏᴜ ᴅɪᴅ ʏᴇsᴛᴇʀᴅᴀʏ?" Reaper asks, a light blue blush dusting his face.

Staring at reaper in confusion, I stare at him while trying to remember what I did yesterday only to come up blank. "I don't remember, why? Did we do something?" I ask, curiosity in my voice. "Wᴇʟʟ ᴜʜ- ʏᴏᴜ ᴅɪᴅ sᴏᴍᴇᴛʜɪɴɢ." Reaper trailed off after he said that, the blush on his face slightly growing. "Okay, what did I do?" I ask, now feeling slightly worried that I did something dumb. "Yᴏᴜ ᴘʀᴇᴛᴛʏ ᴍᴜᴄʜ ᴡᴇɴᴛ ᴏɴ ᴛᴏᴘ ᴏғ ᴍᴇ ᴀɴᴅ ᴡᴇʟʟ..." Reaper trailed off while my concern grew. "What? Reaper, what did I do?!" I ask, feeling slightly panicked now. "Yᴏᴜ ᴄᴜᴅᴅʟᴇᴅ ᴍᴇ ᴀɴᴅ ᴡᴏᴜʟᴅɴ'ᴛ ʟᴇᴛ ɢᴏ, ʏᴏᴜ ᴛʜᴇɴ ᴘʀᴏᴄᴇᴇᴅᴇᴅ ᴛᴏ ғᴀʟʟ ᴀsʟᴇᴇᴘ ᴏɴ ᴛᴏᴘ ᴏғ ᴍᴇ." Reaper explained, meanwhile the memories of yesterday came smacking into me.

Face burning bright red like a tomato, I instantly bury my skull into my scarf in shame, refusing to look up. "I- reaper I am so sorry." I profusely apologize though I still refused to meet reaper's gaze. "Iᴛ's ғɪɴᴇ, ɪғ ᴀɴʏᴛʜɪɴɢ I'ᴍ ᴛʜᴀɴᴋғᴜʟ. I ɴᴇᴇᴅᴇᴅ ᴀ ʜᴜɢ ᴀᴛ ᴛʜᴀᴛ ᴍᴏᴍᴇɴᴛ ᴀɴᴅ ʏᴏᴜ ʜᴀᴘᴘᴇɴᴇᴅ ᴛᴏ ᴀᴘᴘᴇᴀʀ ʀɪɢʜᴛ ɪɴᴛᴏ ᴍʏ ᴀʀᴍs~" reaper said with a slight teasing tone in his voice. "Oh shush." I respond, face still bright as a tomato. "Hᴇʜ, ʙᴜᴛ ʀᴇᴀʟʟʏ ᴛʜᴏᴜɢʜ. I ʀᴇᴀʟʟʏ ɴᴇᴇᴅᴇᴅ ᴛʜᴀᴛ ʜᴜɢ sᴏ ᴛʜᴀɴᴋs." Reaper says with a genuine tone. Forcing myself to look up, I can see the genuine smile on his face and can't help the small smile that rises on mine. "Your welcome." Is all I say before turning away and as I went to walk past reaper, I suddenly feel a weight on my skull, moving my eye light upwards, I'm met with reaper having his skull on top of mine while hovering in the air. "Tʜɪs ɪs ᴘᴀʏʙᴀᴄᴋ ғᴏʀ ᴀʟʟ ᴛʜᴇ ᴅᴀʏs I ᴡᴀɪᴛᴇᴅ ғᴏʀ ʏᴏᴜ ᴛᴏ ᴄᴏᴍᴇ ʙᴀᴄᴋ." Reaper says and you can practically imagine the grin on his face as he said that. "Really?" I ask, a slight hint of amusement in my voice. "Yᴇs." Reaper responds while I let out a sigh before deciding that I would let him be.

As I was about to continue to go downstairs, I realized something, where were we? "Hey reaper?" I ask while stopping. "Yᴇs?" "Who's house is this? And when did we get here?" I ask while feeling reaper move away from me to hover in a sitting position. "Tʜɪs ɪs ᴍʏ ʜᴏᴜsᴇ ᴀɴᴅ I ʙʀᴏᴜɢʜᴛ ᴜs ʜᴇʀᴇ ᴀ ᴄᴏᴜᴘʟᴇ ᴏғ ʜᴏᴜʀs ᴀɢᴏ." Reaper explained while staring at me with a grin. "I didn't know you had a house." I said feeling a little confused, perhaps he mentioned having a house before and I don't remember? Before I could think any deeper on the fact, reaper spoke. "Wᴇʟʟ I ɢᴜᴇss ᴛʜᴇ ᴛᴏᴘɪᴄ ɴᴇᴠᴇʀ ᴄᴀᴍᴇ ᴜᴘ ᴀɴᴅ ᴛʜɪs ɪs ʏᴏᴜʀ ғɪʀsᴛ ᴛɪᴍᴇ ɪɴ ᴍʏ ʜᴏᴜsᴇ ɴᴏᴡ ᴛʜᴀᴛ I ᴛʜɪɴᴋ ᴀʙᴏᴜᴛ ɪᴛ...Dᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ʟɪᴋᴇ ɪᴛ?" Reaper asks, feeling a little nervous about what my response would be.

"Well I haven't seen all of the house yet but it seems nice so yes I like it." I respond while watching as reaper's posture relaxes as relief washes over his face. "Tʜᴀᴛ's ɢᴏᴏᴅ, I ᴡᴀs ᴀғʀᴀɪᴅ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴏᴜʟᴅɴ'ᴛ ʟɪᴋᴇ ɪᴛ." Reaper admitted as he moved ahead of me to go downstairs. "Heh, if anything I'm glad your house isn't too bright and colorful." I said as I followed reaper downstairs, my face no longer red. Though, I still had half of my face buried in my scarf so my voice was slightly muffled but clear enough to hear.
