"What do you expect me to do?" He whispered once more, closing his eyes to lean his head into Todd’s touch, needing and desperate for his attention. "Do you truly wish to say goodbye and never see me again? Do you want another reaper’s lips on mine when the time comes?" He asked, once more opening his eyes so he could look into Todd’s. "I will never love normally. But there is only one that I am able to be completely vulnerable in front of. Whatever love I do possess, it is now yours. It will only ever be yours." He tore his eyes away from Todd’s.

He couldn't answer that first question, instead chewing on his lower lip. "No....That's the problem..." He murmurs. "I can't let that happen...I can't help myself, I'm selfish. Even when I'm selfish like this and say such cruel things I can't help but find that I need you." Todd said as their gazes stayed on each other. "Even when I didn't look I hoped you were out there. I thought your patience had run too thin and you left my side... To do what? have no idea. Then there was the thought that another reaper had come to find you, I couldn't even find your name in my book, that said a lot you won't even believe it." he inhaled sharply. "You...seem to be the one who gets me like this. I get this great weakness with you...And you say that huh..."

A different night ;; Jaejoong & Derr Todd

pxrcxlain-deactivated20140824

Words that he felt were spoken with truth and sincerity clinging to each syllable still had the noirette frozen in place, ears listening carefully but mind having trouble comprehending the context.

"You…" he faltered, doe shaped eyes expressing everything he couldn’t with words. "You’re…"

He watched as Todd opened the notebook that was certainly the center of the entire night.

"I don’t understand," he finally admit, bottom lip finding its way between teeth as he tried to process what he had just been told.

"That notebook is… magic?"

He wanted to know what Todd was saying he was without directly saying it, but he didn’t want to be rude and ask, so inquiring about the notebook was the easiest route to take.

Jaejoong wasn’t necessarily unfamiliar with anyone of the supernatural, no, his time on the streets had him encounter a few things he’d never thought would have existed before.

But he knew… nothing about any of what was currently the topic at hand. He knew of vampires and incubi and succubi, but… notebooks? Notebooks of death? And his name was previously—or was currently—in there?

Looking into their eyes. As the other failed to comprehend what information was given to him by the raven haired man who had saved him.

It was difficult to talk about or to even understand for that matter, Todd knew that well but he had wondered on if it would be better to go into more detail. "It's...magic.. I guess it is... I would define it normal but that however is only because I've lived and used this for centuries."

Der Todd had paused and reached to touch the top of their head. "Maybe you wonder what I am. well, the answer is.... I am death... the personification. Or that was what people loved to say, to tell the truth I am a grim reaper."

He admitted it, he confessed of what he was but Todd was now expecting that negative reaction. The one he always seemed to have once someone found out what he was. He waited for the fear, the trembling, the confusion.

"Do not be afraid of me...Please."

"I’ve been in love with you since the day I saw you." Mike whispered, his hands loosening, the anger leaving him for panic and depression. "Everything I did was to get another chance to see you. Maybe it’s insanity, maybe it’s not justifiable, maybe I deserve to be alone for whatever days I have left." He whispered, looking at the blood on his hands, feeling a burn in his eyes and a pain in his heart, if he even had a heart. "I will not accept another reaper. I will roam this world as a ghost if I must." He looked up at Todd, eyes filling with tears so his vision blurred, yet he reacted as if they weren’t there at all, even as they trailed down his cheeks. "Does your heart ache now? Seeing as you’re the one giving up, again?"

xia-todd

"Only someone like you I would find as a worthy adversary... Maybe not even that but someone I can work beside. But obsession has clouded you.... I have made the mistake of being obsessed before but you... you are in that same place I was. It is madness." Todd had called he again reached forward when taking his step to clasp at their neck. Ignoring any kind of ache that had come to him as he witnessed their tears fall for him. "It hurts...." He admits but he inched closer toward the man, his hand moving from their neck to their cheek to wipe away the tears. "Love, if you become a ghost, you shall never be able to touch me. And the only way you would be able to stay roaming in this realm is by powerful anger and pain....And you...you will never find me then."

"In other words, you didn’t care. Yes, I had stopped killing for a while. I messed up and almost linked a murder to myself, then we had a copycat, a wannabe, if you will. Yet, I lucked out with him and used him to be the real murderer." He pulled away so there was distance between them. "I don’t get emotional. I don’t fall in love. Yet, if I were to name the thing I had for you, the closest thing to love that I am able to feel…" Mike sighed and looked away, his hands turning into fists at his sides. "I would love for you if you just disappeared. And you didn’t even try."

xia-todd

"Something happened...." He just says after he listened to Mike, in those words it had only struck a nerve with Todd and it was clear on his cold facade that had started to crumble. "I will disappear from your sight like smoke then. I will never appear again." Saying that he had taken out his notebook to see their name and date. "Soon...Soon you will seem to meet someone who has your kind of ideas...except for justice... I will not be the one taking you. Another reaper will take you when that man comes for you." saying that he had looked ready to disappear into smoke. "Even if I hadn't looked my heart ached. but that doesn't matter. So goodbye."

Xander stops when the other commands, his body tense, but he turns to look back at him. He looks afraid, yet still upset. It was a strange feeling.

xia-todd

Sighing heavily he stepped to Xander and had hugged him and just stayed silent. Not wanting to speak. "Don't question why I'm doing this." Todd says, keeping a tight hold of the other until pulling away a minute later.

"Then open your eyes the next time she comes." He whispers before he turns from the reaper and walks into the room. He feels ashamed of himself for feeling such jealousy, but he can’t help it. He truly can’t. He’s slowly becoming afraid. What if he’s…

xia-todd

"Don't walk away from me." Todd commands almost ready to stomp a foot down for emphasis. He never felt so angry in a long a while and with it being over something stupid he was trying to calm himself.

#r;;#xander #independentalexander

"Yes you did. Yet you continue to flirt and play with others. Not that I should complain or care that you do, but it.. It bugs me." He explains, or tries to anyways, looking away from him.

xia-todd

"Flirt?!" He just shouts and glares. "How am I flirting when I am not the one initiating such things?" Frustrated Todd crossed his arms. "For all I know you could have been flirting with people, it's not even my business either unless it will bring you some kind of danger." saying that he sighed. "I did not flirt with anyone, if I did I'd be aware of it."

"You know why." He glares at him, hands over his naked chest as he leans against the wall. He leans his head back and just stares at the reaper. "Why did you want me anyway? You act like you don’t want anything to do with me."

xia-todd

Looking at his book then back to Xander again. "I do not act like that, if I did then I would have been much colder." He says, Todd however wasn't in a good mood and had stood up. "Xander. I told you why I wanted you, why your soul had captivated me..."

#r;;#xander #independentalexander

"I'm jealous."

"Jealous?" He asks while he had closed his book and had taken out another to read, looking up to look at the other then down at his book. "Why?"

Yeah that is. -allows herself to move across the room and stands next to him- I missed you. -leans in to kiss his temple-

/Looking over the names that had appeared and the times he stopped staring then looked up; There is no point missing me. /looking down at the names to see a few smudged his brows furrow at the kiss; ...

#A;;#virtualxinsanity

I just want to be really close, milord.

Is that so... /He turns a page, his gaze focusing on his pen, going back to writing;

#a;;#virtualxinsanity

-peeks in-

/Busily writing into his notebook he hadn't looked up; Milady? Is there something you request or are you wanting to be close to me?

#Places of the past;

A familiar presence seems to have appeared in this city again... I don't know if I'm looking forward in meeting you again or anxious on if you find out about him. I have a feeling there's going to be a lot of blood spilled now that you're back....

A different night ;; Jaejoong & Derr Todd

pxrcxlain-deactivated20140824

Eerie the atmosphere of the hotel room had fallen, but surely it was just the words being spoken by the raven haired man—by Todd—that left Jaejoong with vague goosebumps cast over the surface of his fair skin.

It was a normal reaction, really, for anyone who was being told that they were possibly being stalked, and would possibly be murdered.

Especially when that danger, for him, was very real and very persistent in his every day life.

And especially when he had almost met his end not even an hour ago, and Todd had been the one to save him.

Then… Todd knew? They knew it was going to happen?

But how did they know? Jaejoong had never met them before. He had thought it was rare luck, a meeting brought out of coincidence that saved him.

He didn’t move away from the touch, allowed for Todd to run fingers through raven locks, but he didn’t feel any better, didn’t feel comforted.

He felt… exhausted.

"How do you know? How did you know? I mean…"

With a timid action, he gestured to the notebook held in the other’s free hand.

"What is that?"

xia-todd

'I make my living on the dead.'

Saying that sort of thing would only intimidate someone, scare them even. Todd knew way too well that he had to pick his words carefully now. But he didn't want to lie to Jaejoong either.

That was the problem in his head. Telling the truth when it could and has scared people in the past. "I know because I live taking the souls of those who are dying." He said. "I mostly rather working on the deaths that are accidents. But then again, accidents always have someone at cause."

Looking at his notebook he opened his mouth then closed it. "It's my notebook. Whenever someone is about to die I have notes on where and who."

It sounds ridiculous to say everything. He wasn't exactly normal either and it should of been made clear to Jaejoong earlier rather than now of all times. "Your name kept appearing and disappearing so your death all of a sudden seemed spontaneously planned." Todd said and opened the notebook to check if he had any other work.

There was only crossed out names while the last name had been smudged, staring at Jaejoong when knowing the name was clearly his.

"This is probably a bit much to explain isn't it..."
