Until the day I'm forgiven...

Gunpoint

It was very early in the morning, Gakushu was awakened by the sound of his phone going off and it started to ring, playing the song 'History Maker'. The strawberry blonde boy groggily reached out to the desk beside his bed for his phone.

There were several texts he had missed and all were from Viktor, the reaper from the Bulgarian Branch.

When he finally grabbed it, he picked it up and answered the phone. He let out a yawn before he said, "Hello?"

"Hey Gakushu, I need you in the Technology division."

"I will be right there." And Gakushu ended the call, he dragged himself out of the comfort of his bed and dressed himself in his ice-skating gear. His ice-skates were at the reaper run gym, his designed them himself but Gretel was the one who created them. He went to the bathroom to brush his teeth and neatened his bed hair, and it looked like he was the only one up and this early today.

Gretel was sleeping peacefully in her room, Arthur decided to take the sofa for the night and he slept with no problems, his face though looked like he was deep in thought.

He folded and placed his school uniform in his bag and he walked out of the house on his tip-toes.

Gakushu used one of the doors from the nearest reaper-run Team Mart convenience stores, he entered the reaper realm after he greeted Antinio and headed his way for the one of the many scientific divisions. Along the way, he greeted passing reapers going on their shifts or jobs. From the French, to the American, to the Indian, to the Jordanian, and to the Egyptian, Gakushu greeted all sorts of nationalities.

The automatic doors opened wide and it allowed Gakushu to enter into the white room. In the middle of the room was Viktor, he sat in his office chair and his legs rested on the table. Gakushu could tell that this man never tidied himself, as seen with the messy table and his messy black-blue bed hair he didn't bother to neaten up.

"Morning Viktor." Gakushu yawned, he glanced up to see the lit screen and Ritsu's face.

"I could had sworn it was the afternoon." Viktor turned around, he had a Rubik cube he was attempting to solve. The scientist then threw it to the boy, he easily caught and in just under ten seconds, Gakushu had finished the cube.

"You are probably using the time from your European clock." Gakushu said as he threw back the puzzle to Viktor. The Reaper world didn't really have a sense of time, as it rather mimics it. That was why Gakushu and every reaper that was dispatched in the human world has several clocks for each time zone to keep track of time in their phones. And the app was created long before the Victorian Era.

"Did something happened?" Gakushu asked as he walked closer to the desk. He spotted a bowl filled with pink wrapped bon-bon candies and took one for himself.

"Ritsu was getting worried, you didn't come for two days." Viktor twirled back to face Ritsu.

"Hi Ritsu, sorry that I haven't visit you in the weekends but I wouldn't have anything to say about Class-E." Gakushu slightly bowed as he apologised. "I did found out that the entire class went to the Candy Fest concert, never imagined that Akabane was a fan though."

"What are you doing Viktor?" Gakushu asked as he eyed at the desk, it was filled with content and blueprints. Then his nose started to itch when he caught a scent of burning tobacco. 'I just had to come at the wrong time.'

"First on the list, I'm making a program to make the girl feel and understand emotions."

"Why?" Gakushu then grabbed another handful of bon-bon candies to distract himself from the bitter smoky smell.
