"Why are you wearing cow head mask? Lilith asks you this question the third time."

Amon groaned, tipping his head up. It made the snout of his mask point at the sky, making Lilith giggle as she found the view funny. 

"It's weird. Lilith thinks you're ugly that's why you're hiding your face."

Hearing this, Amon couldn't help but look at her through his mask. If only he wasn't wearing it, Lilith would see how he arched a brow at her statement as he didn't like what she said. 

"You said it's rude for people to be ignored. Aren't you being rude for making such a remark?"

"Oh!"

Lilith gasped, making her cuter as she immediately touched her mouth with both of her hands in an attempt to shut herself up. The little girl spoke again, her voice heard even though she talked softly. 

"Lilith didn't mean to... Lilith is sorry. But Lilith was honest. Doesn't that make Lilith a good girl?"

Amon, the Grim Reaper, appeared in the mortal realm to fulfill his job in collecting the souls of the dead. However, an unusual event occurred when he was about to collect one dying pregnant woman's soul.

She was giving birth right before she died, making Amon panic and worry as her dying wish was for him to save her child!

With the Grim Reaper actually a softie and is willing to take care of the infant despite the rule of their job to not interfere in mortal affairs, what lies ahead for Death and his now-growing human, Lilith?

"Why do you wear that?"

"19 years have passed—" Amon started, "—and this is still what you want to ask about?"

"Well, yes." Lilith grinned.

Death's Lover

The soft sunlight bathed the living room in a gentle glow as Amon and Lilith shared that fleeting yet impactful kiss. Lilith's heart fluttered like a caged butterfly, its wings fluttering erratically within her chest.

They were no longer that near each other, but she found solace in resting her head against Amon's shoulder. The room was incredibly silent so she heard a rhythmic melody that echoed the quiet intimacy between them.

Breaking the tender silence, Lilith couldn't help but release a nervous, awkward laugh, noticing the accelerated rhythm near her.

"Your heart is beating like crazy," she remarked, her voice barely above a whisper.

Caught off guard, Amon's cheeks tinted with a subtle blush. "Blame it on you," he admitted, his eyes focusing on an invisible point in the distance.

He made a conscious effort to keep his gaze averted, ensuring Lilith's safety, even though a part of him longed for that deeper connection through eye contact.

Beyond the Simplicity of a Mere Kiss
