Katie

Katie knocked on Vespa's door impatiently. Sure, she had a habit of paying surprise visits to her girlfriend, but today was a little different.

Recently, she'd heard a pretty nasty rumor about her girlfriend, and her "siblings." Apparently, they all had some sort of limited life span. Katie didn't believe the rumors, but she still wanted to be sure. And even if they were true, she was trying to learn more about healing and life magic! Surely there would be something she could do to help.

"Come on.. Vespa! Open up!" Katie said as she knocked on the door for a second time.

Vespa had been out, she'd paid a visit to her favorite shop, grabbed some bone snacks and returned to the school. She'd just entered the dorms, making her way towards her, spotting her girlfriend banging on her door. The grim girl would quietly gnaw on a bone, watching Katie a moment.

"Katie," she'd finally say, "what are you doing?" She'd swallow what was left of her bone. She'd step towards her, fishing her key from her pocket

"You could have texted me," she'd pop another piece of bone in her mouth. "What'd you need?"

Katie

Katie quickly spun around when she heard Vespa. "Vespa!" She said, running over and giving her girlfriend a quick hug. "I wanted to talk to you, and decided to come pay a visit." She said with a sheepish grin as she looked towards Vespa's door. "You weren't home."

Katie stepped aside as Vespa pulled out her key, if Vespa opened the door, Katie would follow her in. "I just.. I need to ask you something."

"That's why you text, to ask if I'm homw," she'd say with a snort, entering and dropping her bag and keys on the table. "Ask me something?" she'd in turn ask, digging in her bag and pulling out some bags of snacks.

She'd stop as she found something in particular. Looking to Katie she'd pull out the item and hold it out to her, her cheeks blushing a little. "Here....uh....its for you...," it was a keychain, in the shape of a top hat wearing penguin.

The half reaper would clear her throat. "So, yeah, looked like something you'd like," she'd clear her throat.

Katie

Katie lit up when Vespa pulled a small penguin key chain. Penguins happened to be her favorite animal. "Aww, he's adorable! And he even has a little hat.. Thank you!!" Katie said before frowning slightly. "I uh.. I didn't get you anything." She said nervously. "But I'll definitely get you something next time!"

Taking a deep breath, she looked at Vespa with worry in her eyes. "Do.. do you remember when I told you I was trying to learn more about magic?" She asked. "Well.. I was studying life magic.. And I read this thing that said some demons had shorter li.. Life spans then other cre.. creatures." Her voice was becoming hitched, and she was stating to shake.

"An.. And then I star.. Started hear.. hearing rumors.. About.. People.. About people like you... Th.. That you were going to die soon." Katie looked ready to cry. "It.. It.. It's no.. It can't be true.. Right?"

The half reaper would tilt her head, she'd never heard Katie talk like this before, her voice was off. Then the other girl went on about magic and such, and then the big question came. Vespa supposed she knew it was going to be asked eventually.

She'd sigh, scratching at her forehead. "Yes," she'd finally say. "I have a shorter life than humans, it's a weird genetic thing," her mother was a demonic abomination, and passed down bad things to her children.

"The doctors....they think I have two to five years." Katie would be able to notice a brief flash of fear in her eyes, something that was incredibly rare.

Katie

"The doctors....they think I have two to five years."

"N.. N.. no.. No no no nononono..." The keychain fell to the floor, completely forgotten as Katie's breathing became sharp and jagged, and she began to shake.

Vespa couldn't die! She'd been Katies first ever girlfriend, her first kiss, and one of the first friends she'd made when Katie had arrived. And she was everything Katie wasn't. She couldn't die now! She just couldn't!

Katie just slumped to the floor, wheezing and sobbing. She definitely was having a panic attack.

She'd blink in surprise when Katie dropped to the floor. "Uh....Katie?" she'd glance left and right before stepping over to the other girl. "Uh....i-it's alright," the girl would tell her.

Finally she'd drop down beside her, wrapping her arms around her. She wasn't big on physical affection, but Katie seemed to need this. "It's ok," she'd whisper to her, holding her in her arms. "It's ok Katie."

Vespa didn't really know anything about panic attacks, but she could tell that Katie was freaking out. "Its ok...just uh.....focus on my voice," she'd tell her, "yeah...focus on me, focus on my voice."

Katie

Katie let out a whimper when Vespa hugged her. She was trying to not get tears and snot on her girlfriend, and failing badly. "It's not fair.." She whispered between sharp breaths.

She tried to focus on Vespas voice, but it was easier said then done. The fact that she was shaking didn't help. "Vespa..? Where.. Where are you?" She asked, still whispering.

"I'm right here," she'd say, gently leaning her forehead against hers. "I'm right here Katie," just being here was the only thing she knew to do in this situation. "Just....wrap your arms around me, squeeze me."

The reaper girl would keep her arms around her, holding her close. Before Katie she hadn't really felt much for anyone, but now that she had her she wanted her to be ok.

"Just..squeeze me and don't let go," the grim girl would tell her. She did a good job of hiding her fear of her potentially inevitable death, so she didn't expect others to freak out over it.
