Your Art will be a marriage full of turbulence, a religion full of doubts, and some of the greatest triumphs you will ever have. It will open up a world of personal discovery, give you a set of friends you would never of had otherwise, and admission onto the walls of strangers, who have found something to connect with you, something that bled from your soul, something you put out into the world and people invested in. Legacy is something for arbiters to decide over after you are gone, but the worth is the meaning you get from your Art in this life. Don’t stop until you fall down.
Summary: Reader is dead and has arrived at purgatory which is a bar where they are chosen wether to reincarnate or die. Decim has taken a like to her and knows exactly what to do this time.
"Where am I?"
I was trapped inside an elevator when suddenly it opened and once I got out I was in a bar, a really fancy and beautiful one in fact. I have no memories of how I got here yet i'm wandering around this place like i've been here before. I looked around and asked myself why I was here alone..maybe this place is closed and I got locked in?
Up ahead I saw a man as I got closer I noticed he has white choppy hair,one of his eyes is hidden his hair but the one that's visible is a light blue color. I swear i've seen him before..I must be wrong.
"Welcome, please take a seat." the unknown man politely says and motions for me to sit on the stool behind the bar.
"Umm thank you...do you have any idea how I got here?" i curiously ask him.
"You have no memories am I right?"
I deeply began think but nothing came to my memory, "I'm afraid not."
"Very well then,thank you."
This guy is strange. We began to chat for a bit when he told me to push a button, I did and the game began. The game was simple..truth or dare...the man would ask me to choose either one but he insisted on me to only choose truth, I said to speak the truth about everything,ing is I don't remember a single thing. If I came up with a lie I would feel a tremendous pain on some parts of my body like if someone were poking needles in me.
"Please make this stop!" I cry when I felt blood coming down from my forehead. "Last question, what is your name?"
"M-My name?"
Suddenly I remember my name..and his. "My name is (Y/N).. My eyes were filled with tears and I felt the pain disappear "Decim is that you?!" I felt the atmosphere change no longer intense and the cuts I had were gone.
"It is you!" I shout cheerfully and saw a small smile on his once emotionless face. "Welcome back (Y/N)." I ran towards him and we embraced each other. Now I remember everything..this is the second time I die...the first time Decim and I met, fell in love but being in arbiter and being in this purgatory sort of place he had to decide if I should go to hell or reincarnate.
After years we meet once again.
"I missed you so much." Decim whispered and saw him crying along with me.Who would've thought that an arbiter would have feelings much less fall in love with someone else. We kissed each other but broke away when we heard footsteps.
"Never though I'd see you this soon, (Y/N)." I see the familiar young girl walk into view, her long light blueish hair reflecting in the lights.
"Nona is it good to see you again." she along with Decim were the only ones nice to me when I first came.
"What are you planning to do with her?" Decim asks defensibly as he helped me stand back up to my feet. Nona smiled at us both, "Nothing actually." she crossed her arms and went on "I came to realize a while back how Decim and you shared a deep connection, especially him when you left. I never thought someone like us would fall in love but he did, we waited for your return and now you're back together."
Decim and I stayed silent, holding onto each other as we paid close attention to her words. "What i'm about to do is against the rules but I want you to stay (Y/N), not as an arbiter but you'll be Decim's assistant and he'll guide you later on to become and arbiter your own."
I stare back at her wide eyes "Nona...thank you so much." she smiled back at me and went behind the bar to get herself a treat.
"We'll finally be with each other." Decim whispered hugging me again and leaned down to kiss me again. "I'll never let go of you again." I smile back at him and hugged him back.
