16 Episode 14: SHOCKED & FLUSTERED

*break at work*

TIWARI: WHAT?! Are you on drugs, sis? So you've been keeping secrets from me? Last time we talked, you were infantuated by one of our coworkers because you thought he looks so handsome and proper. And then you're telling me you got this boyfriend who lowkey looks like a cosplayer?!

GABBY: Chill Tiwari...I'm sorry sis... I know you can't rush love but...damn... He's so hot, what can I say?

TIWARI: He looks like a villain from a shounen anime!

GABBY: That's rude. Well, I think he's one of the cool side characters that gets more love than the idiotic main character.

TIWARI: Simmmp. You really really like him, that much I can tell. But can I ask though, does he have a brother?

GABBY: Uh...I think no...

While they were talking however, a tall man with long black hair and pale blue eyes approached them with a carefully wrapped bundle of sweets.

FINN: Hey Tiwari! Um...I was wondering if you like brownies and sweets. Here. Have some.

TIWARI: That's sweet Finn. But I'm on a diet. Though I'd try one. *turns to Gabby* Hey Gab, can you eat the rest?

GABBY: Uh...sure! Thanks Finn!

FINN: *blushes* Welcome ladies. And...Tiwari...you..you look good even without a diet.

Finn covers his face in embarrassment and walks away. Much to Tiwari's amusement.

TIWARI: Ow you...such a charming lad!

FINN: *blushing intensifies*

And he felt that half of him went astral in delight.

GABBY: (geez...why don't they just date each other? the admiration is apparent)

TIWARI: Actually, this brownie is delicious. I'm sorry Gab. But I need you to eat the rest at home or else I'll be tempted to eat another one.

GABBY: Oh, sure. Maybe Red would love to have some.

TIWARI: Oh, I forgot to ask! What's his job like?

GABBY: !!! (I...can't let her know he's a reaper...so what job is close to one? Without...making her flinch in a horrific sense?)

TIWARI: Uh...doesn't he have one?

GABBY: HE HAVE ONE! He's a...(Darn I can't think of any...just make something up...)

TIWARI: A what?

GABBY: He's a murder investigator!

TIWARI: Oh! So cool!!!

GABBY: Heheh. (Red is gonna kill me...)

Meanwhile Red is on his invisible mode watching how messed up Gabby's replies are.

RED: I'm so happy she isn't my actual girlfriend...humans are so dumb.

*Harry appears*

HARRY: Sup, mate!

RED: Fu-... Fantastic! Everything's great! Hahahha...hah... So... *ehem* What brought you here?

HARRY: I just want to know who this human is...

RED: She's that one. *points*

HARRY: Who? Oh her?

GABBY: *turns her face but ignores the two reapers presence*

HARRY: ... (She's so pretty...)

RED: Hey quit fantasizing about her! You have a lot of admirers back in the spirit realm so why hit on her?

HARRY: Jealous, I see? I thought you're just pretending to be her boyfriend? No need to act so strict.

RED: You're really good at pissing other people up, ya know? Just be glad you're my friend because I'm really really fired up for a fight right now.

HARRY: Geez...fine, I'm going now. And do you have any idea what's with Humility lately? He's acting weird. I mean...he's still his kind self, okay? But...he seems unhappy. He's always optimistic and stuff but now he seems...troubled.

RED: No man. I'll try and contact him so we can talk after I take this red hair home.

HARRY: Oh...okay. Uh, and Red...

RED: What?

HARRY: If you're busy I can take care of her for you.

RED: Why is she so good at attracting weirdos?

HARRY: Excuse me?

RED: Uh, no...nevermind. Go.
