Part Two: Ch. 54

"So what did you guys make us?" KJ grinned while throwing himself down on the blanket next to Vincent and Lennon.

"We made *us* sandwiches." Vincent scowled. "Do you mind? It's kind of a date.."

"Nah, we don't mind." Todd smiled while plopping down next to them. "You finished?" Todd asked while snatching Vincents' sandwich from his hands. "Thanks, bro."

"The fuck?" Vincent growled. "Leave us alone!"

"It's our job to bother you." KJ chuckled while grabbing a handful of grapes.

"I'm going to kill both of you!" Vincent grumbled while Lennon let out a soft laugh.

"Good luck with that." KJ snorted.

"What? You don't like our company?" Todd fake pouted while shoving the rest of Vincents' sandwich in his mouth and reaching for Lennons' half eaten one.

"Don't." Vincent growled while narrowing his eyes at Todd.

"Rude."

"It's fine. You can have it." Lennon smiled while handing over his sandwich.

"No." Vincent argued. "Finish your food, baby."

Todd pouted while Lennon chuckled and took a big bite out of his sandwich, handing over the rest of it. "It's okay, you can buy me food later." Lennon giggled while pressing a kiss right between Vincents' furrowing eyebrows.

"I knew I liked you for some reason." Todd grinned while devouring the sandwich.

Vincent glared over at Todd and KJ while planning how to get away with their murders.

"Hey, do you think we'll be able to attend the mate ball tomorrow?" KJ suddenly asked.

"Why would you want to go to that?" Vincent glared at him. "You already found your mate."

"Uh.. because they're fun as fuck!" KJ retorted. "Remember the one we went to right before Issy was born? It was literally just a giant free carnival! I want to take Danny."

"The weather is supposed to get bad tomorrow but my dad said they've set up one of those giant tent things, connecting it to the ballroom. There won't be any rides but they will have all of the other activities so just make sure you wrap him up well so he doesn't get a cold or something." Todd explained.

"What do you say, Vincent?" KJ questioned with excitement. "We can all go and just enjoy the free food and carnival!"

"Eh.. I don't know.." Vincent frowned.

"It sounds fun!" Lennon chirped. "Please!"

"It's not up to me, baby." Vincent pursed his lips. "My dad has us on lock down. You know that.."

"UGH!" KJ groaned while throwing himself back with a thud.

"You guys can still go." Vincent snorted. "You don't have the Grim Reaper coming after you."

Lennon slapped Vincents' shoulder. "It's not funny!" Lennon scowled at him.

"It's kind of funny, baby." Vincent chuckled. "I mean think about it." Vincent began after noticing the very unhappy looks from everyone. "I'm the King of Hells' son and you are literally the son of Anubis.. Do you guys really think Death himself can harm us?"

"Harm us? Yes!" Lennon squeaked.

"Kill? Probably not.." Todd scowled. "Can't your dad just like tell him to fuck off? Being the King of Hell and all?"

"This isn't the human world, Todd. Death isn't a part of hell or from it. He's his own being, his own boss, leader, whatever." Vincent explained.

"But who would dare go against your father and Anubis?" KJ questioned. "Isn't he the only ancient God that hasn't ascended? I mean that's kind of terrifying by itself, yeah?"

"My dad said he didn't ascend because he found my mom and that he would rather spend eternity on Earth with her then go wherever their supposed 'paradise' is." Lennon shrugged.

"How romantic." Todd scoffed.

Vincent sent a quick jab to Todd. "Anyways.." He glared at Todd. "Death makes his own rules. Sebastian made a deal and if the Reaper doesn't get my soul, he'll go after Sebastian."

"I guess the only question is, am I able to collect your soul or not?" Dustins' voice sounded from behind them.

KJ and Todd jerked up to their feet while Vincent laid comfortably, resting his head on Lennons' lap. Lennons' grip on Vincent tightened.

"You're Death!?" KJ screamed. "I befriended you!"

"Chill the fuck out." Dustin scowled. "I'm still your friend."

Todd let out a loud scoff. "What kind of friend tries to kill their friends' friend, brother practically!"

"I'm not..." Dustin let out a heavy sigh while rolling his eyes, sitting down away from them. "When Sebastian summoned me, I was intrigued by who he wanted me to come after." Dustin shrugged. "You can't blame me for wanting to get close to the King of Hells' son."

Lennon grabbed a hold of Vincents' shirt while never once taking his eyes off of Dustin. "I want to go inside, Vincent." Lennon whispered.

Vincent quickly got to his feet while pulling Lennon up with him. Vincent cupped Lennons face and smiled softly. "He's not going to hurt us, baby. I promise. Right, Dustin?"

"Nah.. I don't take just any soul. I mean your soul would be a trophy but I'm 97% sure I can't touch you or your mate. I sensed something inside of your mate when I first met you guys and quite frankly, I don't want to piss it off." Dustin shrugged.

Vincent smirked at that. "Good." Vincent wrapped his arm around Lennons' waist and started to walk away.

"But.." Dustin spoke up, causing Vincent to stop in his tracks. "I can't get Sebastian if your father has him."

"Can't you just teleport in there or some shit?" KJ scowled. "I mean.. you are Death.. Or you could just go talk to Kane about it.."

Dustin rolled his eyes. "Sure, I could blink in there but that doesn't mean I can just take Sebastian and Kane wouldn't even listen to what I would have to say, hence why I'm coming to you." Dustin directed towards Vincent.

"The fuck you mean?" Todd laughed. "Of course you can take Sebastian! Take his corrupted soul and leave us the hell alone!"

"I can't do that!" Dustin gritted out.

"And why not?" Todd scoffed.

"My father already collared him." Vincent answered. "Am I right? Sebastians' soul is already tied to Hell and the only way to get him is to do a trade."

"A trade?" KJ gulped while eyeing him.

"A soul for a soul." Dustin confirmed.

"Would you be willing to do a trade..?" Lennon whispered while pulling Vincent closer.

"Of course. I have a soul he's been searching for.." Dustin smiled.

"He's been searching for a soul?" Vincent frowned while eyeing him. "And who would that be?"

Dustin gave Vincent an almost sad smile while standing to his feet. "Your unborn brother." With that, Dustin blinked away, leaving the four of them to process what he just said.

"What the fuck did he just say?" Todd whipped around to face Vincent.

"Vin?" Lennon whispered while gently turning Vincents' face to look at him. "Talk to me, Vinny.."

Vincent stared down at Lennon, his eyes swarming with confusion and hurt. "My brother..?"
