Death's Destructive Family: DestructiveDeath Sequel

Chapter 47: New Passion

Error's POV a day or two later

"So hOw hAvE yOu bEeN, HoRrOR? It fEeLs lIkE a FeW dAyS bUt i knOw mOrE tiMe mUst'Ve pAsSeD hErE."I ask as Shino and Lovespoon play together

"Pretty good now. Lovespoon is finding a hobby with a passion. She is finding a passion for a craft like mine. While I carve wood, she has learned how to sew. I think she grew quite curious about it after your training sessions where you would teach her to knit and crochet. She has grown quite skilled at sewing in addition to what you taught her, making us clothing. In fact, she wanted to show you a few designs and wants to show them off to nearby towns."He says

"Oh ReAlLy?"I say

He nods.

"Some villages are in need of help so she wants to go to them and share her designs to keep them warm. Help them out, ya know? She's very generous and kind, growing into a very caring and giving person."He says

"I woNdeR wHo tHat SounDS liKe. MaYbE thE pErSoN wHo wAs wiLlInG tO giVe aLl hIs fOoD tO oThErS?"I say teasingly

He glances at me as he catches on, then chuckles.

"Right..."He says

I smile at him and he reaches out, holding my hand gently.

"Killer told me about your situation...What Reaper said, I mean. How are you doing?"He asks

I sigh, shaking my head.

"Fe3lS t3rRiBl3 t0 hAvE aLl tHeSe pRepArAtiOns f0r s0m3th1nG i'M n0t tHe tYpE f0r."I say, raising my hand.

The certificate of my deal with Destiny, and a paper formally giving me blessings rise with a wave of my hand. He frowns, shaking his head.

"Reaper's a fool, Dad. You deserve better."He says

'PfFt, yEah cUz i cAn jUsT sTaRt oVeR aGaiN..."I say

"What other choice do you really have? Your relationship has gone stagnant, he is taking you for granted and clearly has some problem with commitment or insecurity about the relationship to be accusing you or eavesdropping you as if you'd betray him. And you clearly aren't on the same page or have a chance to move forward since you desire to marry and he finds it ridiculous. You have different desires or goals on where to take your relationship and he lacks trust in you. He cannot have it both ways with you where he simps for you, gets your cuddles while also shooting you and your ideas down with his comments or lack of trust. It just doesn't work like that so until he matures enough to learn that, you should shift to what's best for you and not put up with his nonsense."He tells me

"WhAt aBoUt tHe kIdS?"I ask

"They'll like you happier more than whatever arrangement Reaper keeps you in."He says

I dismiss what I've collected and sigh, knowing that he's probably right. Reaper hasn't given any indication that he might change his mind in the future, only that he views marriage as ridiculous. Not that he isn't ready for it yet, just that it's absurd.

"G-Pa! G-Pa! Can I show you my skills? I've learned a lot!"Lovespoon says, running up to me.

I smile at her as Shino runs inside with a grin.  I nod, letting her lead me away until she lets me sit. She stands up, bending over me slightly as I kneel down with my hands on my knees. She gently holds my chin and I lean into it with a smile.

"I want to make you pretty! I can show you my skills, G-Pa! You're very handsome so it will work!"She says

I smile, nodding to allow her. I shut my eyes and she gently starts brushing my face. I felt taps under my eyes and cheeks, then over my eyes and I heard her giggle.
