Colour And Strings

Chapter 37

*Geno's POV*

Brother? Is that what he said? So he must also be son or a servant of God. Then I guess it wouldn't be surprising for him to know everything, and he said it competly obvious to me.

Why can't he just say it? It not like anyone is here.

"Geno!" I snapped back to reality by the shout of Reaper.

"Are you okay? I've been shouting you for a while now, the nurse said you wouldn't be needing any shot for a while," He said.

"Oh, okay, I'm sorry I was just, spacing out," I said.

He sat down beside my bed and place left hand on my cheek.

"Are you okay? Did something happened?" He asked with a worried look.

I gently pushed his hand away and nodded.

"Yeah, I'm fine, sorry for worrying you," I said, "Reaper, so you have a favourit brother?" I asked.

He look at me surprised.

"No, not really, what makes you wanna ask that out of the blue?" He said, "You wanna know more about me or something?"

"In your dreams, I think your brother came to visit me," I said staring out the window.

"My brother?" He look towards the door, thinking.
"Oh, must be Jesus, or else I would be having an earful by now," he chuckled turning back to me, I smiled back.

I was always looking forward to Encre's visit and feel lonely when she's gone, but now, with him around isn't so bad I guess.

"What made you to be in such a good mood?" I turn to him, confused by his question.

"Every time you look at me and look away again, you're always smiling today," he said.

Still confused by what he said, I questioned.
"I'm smiling?"

That's when he also started to look confused.
"Yeah, you mean you where smiling without you knowing?" He asked and I shook my head.

He pat my head and chuckled, what's so funny? Before I could ask him he said,
"Geno, I will need to leave you for a few days, although I can slack off, I can't just abandon my job." He said and sat at my bed side.

My heart sink, he's going? That should be a good thing right? He's annorying, he's loud, he's too curious, he's a flirt...he's was always there...

Before I know what was going on, my vision become blury and I lay down pulling the cover over my head so he couldn't see me cry, with the most steady voice I can manage, I said;

"Really? Finally! If you stayed any longer, I would go crazy! You really have been nothing but a pain, that's great news!" I said as the tears comes running down, I can't speak anymore...

He didn't say anything for a long time as well, if it wasn't because he was sitting on my bed, I would assume he left already, taking a deep breath, I said the last thing I would ever want to say.

"What are you waiting for? Just go away and never come back," my heart aches when I said that, I just can't be honest can I?

A hand slowly stroke my head with the cover on, in a calm and somewhat gentle voice, he finally replied.

"Don't worry, I'll come back before you know it, I wouldn't leave you for the world, so you don't have to hide your cry from me. Nothing will change, I wouldn't hurt you," he said.

A small whimper escaped my mouth as he continued stroking my head, my head went blank as I cry, I just cry without thinking of anything. A bit like the first second that you felt pain.

I'm so sorry, Death.

I really wish Fallacy is here.
