It's a story about how Plague and Phoenix meet each other. Those are the OC of mine and Shiro. So Shiro hope you like how I write OwO

You are worthless!

You are a waste of ressource!

We shouldn't never have create you in the first place!

You are emotionless!

You will never gain happiness!!

Those are the words he keep hearing over and over again for who know how many centuries. 049 never once feel anything for so long that he have to hurt himself to feel something anything at all. He was inside that cell for so long he only have blurr memories of the outside world. Even that he never have the hope to get out of there.

Until...

"049-01. You have been summon,"

049 head lift up and look up at the guard. He slowly get up and start walking toward him. He stop waiting for the guard to chain him before getting out off his cell.

"No funny business. You know the punishment,"

"...Yes I know," he said depriving of emotions

They walk for a bit and they stop in front of a double doors. The guard knock the door and announce themselves of their presence.

"Come in" the voice of the other side of the door said. The guard open the door and drag 049 inside. The guard put him in front of the one that summon him. 049 didn't look at the person. Since he know full well it's the head mistress of the facility

"You may go," she said as she wave her hand toward the guard without looking at him. He bow and left the office. After a few minutes of silence, the head mistress lift her head and finally pay attention to the man in front of her

"Congratulations 049-01, you have a position to fill in," she said. 049 look at her with confusion

"Ah, let me explain properly. Since your... power is unique and can spread disease at a long range. So instead to cage you, we will put you with beside the 6 other deadly sin," she said.

"You mean..." he said in a whisper

"Yes 049-01, you will be part of the deadly sin which would mean that you would be the seventh of the deadly sin," She said. "We will prepare you to go outside and meet with the rest of deadly sin. You will also have a mission..." at that point, 049 tune down the conversation. He was... surprise? Yeah surely surprise because he never once hope to get out of this place anytime soon. But now... it's  like a dream. Which is something he barely have as he never really dream of good thing. Just bad dream. Those that would make you insomniac for days until your body give up and force you to sleep.

"049-01? Are you listening to me?"

"Yes... sorry head mistress. You told me that I shall be prepared to leave?" He said. She simply nod

"The guard will take you to another room where we will prepare you to go to the HQ,"

"The HQ?"

"Yes this is where the deadly sin live and each of them have their own district they take care off. If you do well you will have your own," she said

The guard came back and bring him to a fancy room. It's have a vanity, huge wardrobe and a step to stand in front of the mirror. They uncuff him and start taking care of him.

After a few hours later

"This is it," the hairdresser said. "We cut your hair short and clean yourself up! What do you think of the results?"

049 look himself in front of the 3 larges mirror in front of him. He look more clean and define. However, what bother him the most is his eyes that barely show emotions. He know that the only way for him to look 'normal', it's to show a bit of emotion. He start smiling at the stylist before he reply

"This look nice. I am satisfied of the reseult... but..."

"But?"

"I would like something to cover my face,"

"Why? You look great!"

"Yes but... I prefer having a mask. Something so no one can see my face,"

"... as you wish, we have a selected different kind of mask that we have in stock," the stylist said as she bring a trail of masks. 049 look at them and saw one in particular. He bring it to his face and look at the mirror.

"Perfect. I am ready to go,"

"Yes, sir, the higher-up will be there to guide you to the HQ," the stylist bow at him and soon 049 follow the head mistress to the portal that lead them to the HQ

"And interesting choose of clothing," she said
"Yes... I prefer that way,"

"I see. I already annonce your arrival and I will introduce you to them,"

"Can I have a name?"

"You name yourself whatever you want since the other deadly sin are called by their powers they can use,"

"Good to know then," he said

"Let's go meet the rest," the head mistress guide 049 to a conference room where 6 others people was sitting

"Greetings, deadly sins, may I introduce you the new addition member. He is going to take charge of the medical division and would also take care of the district 7,"

The rest of the deadly look at 049-01 with interest. It's been so long they have a new member in their inner circle. 049 didn't flinch when they look at him. He just doesn't feel anything at all. The deadly sins introduce themselves until Wrath ask him a question

"So what is your name? Are you a bird or something?"

"I can turn myself into a raven yes. My name?" There was an awkward silence before 049 decide for a name for himself. "Since I am a doctor and deal with sickness and other thing... Call me plague,"

"Plague? Weird but ok," Greed said as he shrugs

"So birdie name is Plague huh? Nice to meet you~," Pride said as she smirk at him. The head mistress clear her throat and look at them.

"Now then since the introduction is done. Plague will go ahead and start working as he already have an assignment," She said. Since the meeting was done, they went ahead and went to do their thing.

The head mistress took 049, A.K.A Plague to his district. She give him his assignment, told him plainly to not mess it up and left him.

For the first time, in the pass 24 hours, 049 feel like he was somehow free to do what he want as long he follow the order.

For the past centuries, Plague make his place at the HQ and was giving praise for his work. He have took two spirit children girls he have found one day when wondering in the street of Paris, France. They have become his assistants and done a delightful job. He was dedicated to his job and make sure to help his patients the best he can. Plague took his distance from the rest of the deadly sins. He didn't like to be touch nor to have anyone near him unless he allow it. He barely have interaction with other outside from his patients and his assistants.

Then one day, Death arrive to his office with a letter in his hand

"Hey Plague have a moment?"

"Sure I guess," he said never look up and still writing his notes

"You have been invite to a gathering with the other deadly sins and other high rank spirit," Death said as he put the letter in front of him. Plague sigh at the sight of the letter

"I am not so great with social gathering and I don't plan to go," he simply said

"Come on Plague. Just this once. Try to mingle and get to know other spirits. You may actually enjoy it," Death said encouraging him to go

"I have work to do,"

"So do I. But once in a while it's good to loose it up a bit and go outside," he said

After a few assistances from Death, Plague finally give in.

"If it's boring I am leaving," Plague said

"Better than nothing, see you at the party tomorrow afternoon," Death said as he left the office.

Plague sigh as he lean on his desk. He really didn't want to go but then again. Like Death said. He should get out once in a while just so he can look around outside the HQ. I guess it won't be so bad... Plague thought as he continue his work

The next day, Plague was looking around sipping his drink. He is not a heavy drinker but still enjoy the taste of the champagne and wine. Death came to his side when he spot him

"Hey Plague! Glad you make it," He said. He look at his look. "Nice dress up by the way,"

"Thanks the girls insisted I wear this..." he said looking down at his clothes.

"Beside, I have a opening in my schedule. So I guess I could come," he said with a shrugs. Death roll his eyes and then look around the place.

"Since you are there. Let me introduce you to a few people from different district since you may meet them at your clinic," Plague simply nods and follow Death. Plague have been practicing for centuries how he interact with the other around him. That way he was view as a friendly doctor instead to a monotone one. It also make his job easy when handling his patients. He was chatting around when they heard the doors that lead to the ballroom open. Plague instinctly look up to the doors like some of them in the group he was chatting with. Some gasps at the sight.

Ba bump!

It was a woman. She have white hair with a glimpse of blond highlights from the lighting of the room. Her eyes were red but more rosie like than deep red. She was wearing a simple off-shoulders white gown with golden embroideries around her waistline and bottom of her sleeves. Only a goddess would wore such gown and her body... She have a perfect body like. With curve that go to the right place and a generous chest. She was looking around and start walking inside.

Ba bump!

What is this? Plague thought when he touch his chest. He never feel that way before. He couldn't help but follow her every moves. She look so perfect but also she look on guard when some spirits start talking to her. Even her legs look fine. He wanted to get stomp by her beautiful legs. What are you thinking Plague? You who have been torture for centuries now want to be stomp by her?!... I mean it's sound tempting having her stomping at me crushing me under her. He shivers at the thought. He didn't hear any of the conversation around him. Until he feel someone touching his shoulder. He look who it was and saw Death

"What is it?" Clearly sound annoying he interrupt his thought.

"You seem to be distracted ever since Lady Phoenix arrive," he said.

"Lady Phoenix?"

"The gal that just enter a moment earlier. Her name is Phoenix. She is the bird of reincarnation," he said

"Oh I see...," how ironic... I took fancy to a dame that her power is reliate to life... as for me everything is about death... he thought to himself.

However, despite his self-loathing on himself. He just couldn't bring himself to look away of her.

"Wanna go there and introduce yourself?" Death said

"I mean... may as well," Plague said on a nonchalant voice but deep down he was nervous to get close to her. Not in disgust, but simply thinking of how he would be able to stay sane around her. He follow Death in a slow pace toward Phoenix. She was drinking some wine and talk with a few spirit when they arrive.

"Hello Phoenix," Death said waving at her. Phoenix look at Death and give him a court nod to him. Acknowledging him.

"Hello Death been a while we talk," She said as she sip her drink. Even her voice sound like music to my ears. Plague thought looking at her.

"Indeed. We are both busy," He said.

"Agree. But what can we do we have a job to do," she said with a shrugs.

"True true. I wanted you to meant with our newest members of the deadly sin," he move to the side to introduce at Plague. "This is Plague, the 7th member of the deadly sin," he said.

"Please stomp at me!" He said. Both of them blink in surprise of his declaration until he clear his throat.

"I mean... Un plaisir de vous rencontrer gente dame," Plague said as he titled his hat at her. Phoenix look at him blankly for a moment. Death thought Plague have messing up his first encounter with Phoenix but to their surprise. Phoenix smile at him.

"Un plaisir de vous rencontrer gente d'homme," She said with a perfect french

Ba bump!

Plague heart beat a bit more faster.

"I didn't know you knew french Phoenix," Death said

"Oh I knew a few other languages.  Since some that come to me doesn't always use english to talk to me," She explain.

"Well I must said you have a good prononciation my lady," Plague said as he gently took her hand and kiss her knuckles," Phoenix blush a little bit of this sudden action but still smile at him.

"Thank you. If anything I must get going," She said. Phoenix took her hand back from him and was about to leave.

"Wait my lady," he said

"Hmm?" As she glance over her shoulder

"Can... I see you again?" Plague said

"Hmm," she thought about it and smile at him

"Sure," before Plague said something she finish with. "As long you can walk at the tower back to my realm. We will see each other again," she said grinning at him

"Yes of course I will do so my lady!" He said nodding rapidly. She giggles and left the ballroom. Plague sigh after he couldn't see her no more.

"You know you just accept to do something impossible right?" Death said

"What you mean?"

"The tower she talk about is a place she use to challenge those that wish to be reincarnated,"

"Sound easy enough,"

"It is not actually. That tower doesn't allow you to use any kind of power nor transformation. Also you feel like the air go heavy the more you climb up to the top of the tower,"

"Doesn't sound so bad,"

"You seriously going to go all the way up to the tower just to see her?"

"Everything to see song bird~" Plague said in a dreamy voice

"Wait... did you fall in love with her?"

"Love?"

"Yeah, I mean like thinking of her and want to get closer. The speed of your heartbeat going faster... you know those kind of cringes stuffs??" Death said

Plague thought a long moment... he wasn't sure it was love but one thing for sure. He want to see her again.
