(Requested by: xansvirus15. It's kinda an AU where they all live in a big city or something like that, idk if there is some sort of name for this but whatever. A bit angsty and then fluff.)

Geno's POV:

Another day of this pointless job, another day that I wouldn't get enough money to repay losing, another day like any other in this city.

The rain poured down heavily, leaving a thin layer of water on the street, soon falling into the sewers and being replaced by another drops. Of course I had to leave my parasol at home, the one day I don't bring it with myself it just had to rain... typical.

I let out a sigh, flipping the hood of my jacket over my head before stepping into the rain. My boots made small splashes as I walked through the sidewalk.

The world seemed to turn completely grey as I continued to walk to my apartment. Some would say the scenery was depressing and I could see why but... it was also calming.

The normally loud and crowded city turned into the ghost town at the very sight of the rain, and I loved it. I loved the quietness and beauty rain brought with itself even if it was just for a moment... even if it couldn't wash my problems and bad thoughts with itself.

I finally made it to my apartment block, it wasn't anything to bring awe but it was cheap, not cramped and well kept, it was enough for me. I pushed the door open, the usually grumpy guy from the second floor greated me with a smile, he liked the rain too.

''Nice weather eh?'' he asked as he pulled some mail out of his mail box.
''Yeah... it really is.'' I said, also checking my mailbox but finding it empty.
''I heard someone's finally moving into that empty apartment next to you.'' he said as we began to walk the stairs.

''Really? *sigh* I just hope he won't be as bad as the last one.'' I said having some nasty flashbacks.
''That would be quite hard. No one can be as bad or worse that the Big J.'' he said, stopping on his floor,  I had to go two more up.

''Tru. Have a good day.'' I said before continuing my journey upstairs. When I finally made it to my floor there was a guy in a black hoodie, clearly soaked so I guess the rain caught him unexpectedly. He was trying, and failing to open the door to the apartment next to me.

''These locks work really bad when it's raining, you gotta put more force into it.'' I said as I passed the shorter skeleton to get to my door. He yelped in surprise as he turned around to look at me.

(Am I making Reaper a sub? Perhaps.)

I was awestruck by his eye sockets, one was completely pitch black and the other had a deep azure eye light, shaped like an iris.
''God you scared me.'' he said as he clutched the front of his hoodie.
''But thanks.'' he said, giving me a big smile.

I smiled back before turning back to my door, I unlocked mine quickly since I had practice. It took him few tries but he unlocked his as well.
''Bravo! You now know how to unlock your door.'' I said as I clapped my hands lightly a few times.

''Oh shut up.'' he said pulling out his tongue.
''Whatever, I'm Geno, your totally awesome and absolutely tired neighbor.'' I said as I extended my hand for a handshake.
''The name's Reaper.'' he said as he took my hand gently.

''I hope will get along.'' he said as he shook our hands.
''I hope so too.''

I groaned tiredly as I stumbled up the stairs, my boss made me work over time again and I was exhausted. I barely managed to get my key into the key hole when I finally arrived at my door.

I clumsily closed it behind and threw my shoes off carelessly, going into the living room and flopping onto the couch.
''Hard day?'' I heard from the kitchen. I turned my head and saw Reaper standing behind the kitchen island that parted living room from the kitchen.

''Mmhhhmmm... weren't you supposed to use the key in case of emergency?'' I asked. Yes I gave him a key to my apartment. He had some crazy ex and wanted some safe place where he could hide which I gladly provided.

''Yes,but you were working late again and I figured you'd be to tired to actually cook something so I made you chicken and fries.'' he said with a smile.
''You're a fucking angel.'' I said as I send him back a smile.

''Hehe! Can you get up? Or do you want me to bring you food?'' he asked, crouching down in front of me.
''I'll get up. Don't worry.'' I said as I sat up. As I finally stood on my feet we heard someone knock on my door.

''Go get it, I'll get your food ready.'' Reaper said before going into the kitchen. I let out a tired sigh before going to open the door. I was met by an unfair skeleton who looked quite surprised when he saw me.

''Hi, is this 2506?'' he asked awkwardly.
''No, this is 2505.'' I said tiredly. ''2506 is there.'' I said as I pointed at Reaper's door.
''Oh thanks.'' he said before turning to the right. When he did I noticed a scar, a scar that looked, like what Reaper described his ex to look like.

(Cookie to the person who gets the reference first.)

''Um... Sir no one has lived there for months.'' I lied.
''What?'' he asked, his hand stopped mid knock.
''Yeah, last resident did some illegal stuff, I think drugs since it would always stink from there. But no one was desperate enough to buy the apartment since.'' I half lied.

''Oh... I guess I got the wrong address.'' he said as he rubbed his neck awkwardly.
''Probably. This and the next block get mistaken quite often. Both by residents, guests and GPS. You probably need to go there.'' I bluffed.

''Thanks.'' he said before walking off. I closed the door before going to the kitchen, Reaper GED his back to me as he finished putting my meal on the plate. I hugged him from behind making him yelp in surprise and blush lightly.

''What was that for?!'' he asked.
''I think the guy at the door was your ex. You should stay here for the night just in case.'' I said as I rested my head on his shoulder.

''This doesn't answer my question but I guess I'll take it. Now get off me and eat.'' he said as he tried to push me off.
''But you're comfy.'' I whined.
''Stop whining and eat yo food!'' he said as I finally gave up and let him push me off, leading me to the kitchen island next.

There were few stools there and the island served as a semi dinner table. Setting the delicious looking food in front of me. Time to eat I guess.

~time skip~

After I finished the delicious dinner I put the dishes in the sink to be cleaned tomorrow. I pulled Reaper behind me making me confused.
''I thought I would sleep on the couch.'' he said almost questioningly.

''No.'' I said simply as I opened my bedroom door I pulled him inside before pushing him on the bed.

(No, not like that ya sinners.)

''What was that for?'' he asked. I just flopped down next to him, not bothering to get under the covers.
''Geno, I can't sleep here.'' he said. I turned to my side and then pulled him into my chest, trapping him in a hug.

''Yes you can. Now shut up and sleep.'' I said before closing my eye. I heard him say something more but I fell asleep before I could understand what it meant.

~time skip to the morning ☀️~

I

slowly blinked my eyes open trying to get the remaining tiredness away. I looked down and saw an adorable looking Reaper cuddled up to my chest. I smiled softly, thankfully it was Sunday so I didn't have to worry about going to work.

I closed my eyes back up before tightening my hug around the smoll bean. He unconsciously let out a loud purr and nuzzled my chest. This was perfect but of course all perfect things must come to an end eventually.

I could feel Reaper shift, signaling me that he was waking up, I was sure he was completely conscious when I heard him let out a quiet squeak. I opened my eye and looked down only to find his memorizing eye already looking up at me.

''Morning princess.'' I said with a chuckle.
''Very funny, can you let me go, I want to make breakfast.'' he whined softly.
''No, like I said, you're comfy.'' I said as I hugged him tighter.

Suddenly I was hit by a memo from last night, a memory of what he said before I completely passed out. 'You're an idiot sometimes... but I still love you.' my whole face was covered in red blush as I remembered this.

''And I love you too.'' I said a bit shyly.
''Ekk! I didn't think you heard that.'' he squeaked again.
''I did my brain was just to tired to process it until now.'' I said awkwardly.

''Is it okay if I kiss you?'' I asked after a moment.
''It's more than okay.'' he giggled slightly but his deep blue blush gave away his emotions.

I smiled again before pulling him into a soft kiss.

(Hope y'all enjoyed.

Bye~)
