I can't help but flip the page, and am greeted by "Diary pogchamp, Day 1".

A diary?

⚠️Swearing, insanity, intrusive thoughts/voices, mentions of killing, death, mentions of past abuse

I quickly look over my shoulder at the sleeping ghost again, just double-checking. I start reading the first entry, guilt plaguing my thoughts.

This is such an invasion of privacy.

That doesn't stop my curiosity, however, and I study the words on the page, my fingers dragging over every word. He's such a mysterious figure, can you blame me?

End first entry. Wow. So that was...huh. Roy had told me about the voices before, but I never thought they were that bad. He said there were times there'd be around one hundred voices. I feel a pang of guilt in my chest, thinking about how torturous that was to deal with.

I sigh, debating to myself whether I should read the next page. "I wonder if he's ever written about me," I mumble to myself, smiling at the thought. I mean, it's possible. If that's when my best friend found his bee friend, then maybe in future entries, he could have mentioned my name once or twice. The first time I met him, he had said bee on a leash, after all.

"Mmm...Y/N...?" a voice groans tiredly from behind me, causing me to jump. "Whatcha doooin?" I quickly set the book down and turn to face the man, my heart beating out of my chest.

"N-nothing. Uh, when did you wake up?" I respond, my voice shaky from the sudden scare. "Shust nooow...I heard jur voish sooo that's probably...what woke me up...mmmm...when ju wake up...?" BeeGhost answers, his words slurred and his eyes blinking rapidly, trying to stay open. Damn he's tired tired. "Uh like a couple minutes ago. I was just...looking through your books for something to read." I mean, it's not technically a lie.

"Oh...okay. Y/NNNN...do you mind if I...shleep a little...longer?" he asks me, resting his head on his arms and looking up at me with tired eyes. "...Yeah? You don't need my approval. It's your own house, after all," I hesitantly respond, furrowing my brow in confusion.

"Mkay. G'night, darliiing..." he moans (don't you dare) sleepily with a squishy, soft smile, already drifting back to sleep. Wait because that's the cutest fucking thing I've ever seen.

I didn't even talk that loud, how did he hear me in his sleep? Maybe it's a ghost thing idk. He's always had sharp hearing but it's almost impossible to have heard me.

I shrug it off, turning to look at the vibrant book once again. I decide to leave it alone, and quietly walk out the room, desperately trying not to wake the young man again. It was so tempting to grab the diary and take it with me but it'd be pretty obvious that it was gone. I might come back for it later, but for now? I'm hungry.

I look around, trying to spot a clock. I didn't see one in the bedroom, and I don't see one in the whole damn house. Who doesn't keep track of the time? Well...I guess it's cause he's a ghost. Wouldn't he at least wanna know the time, though? Whatever.

I huff, crossing my arms in annoyance. I need to know the time so I can give Ray time to bake... I suppose, for the meantime, I can check if he has food... Who am I kidding? He's dead, why would he have food?

Still, I look hopefully through his entire kitchen, for even the smallest crumb. I didn't find any food, as I thought, but I did find some sort of...flower? It's preserved in some sort of glass, somehow not losing the beautiful life it started with. It's a soft, light blue color with an abundance of petals forming a sort of pillow-looking shape. It looks fluffy. I'm sure he won't mind if I just borrow it really quick.

I stash it into my personal inventory, and take a seat on the couch. I look out the window, and groan at the sight. I hate the sun. Too bright. Who does it think it is, shining so smugly?

...

Holy fuck, I'm bonkers.

Ughhhh I wanna sleep but I'm not tired enough. Hate it here. What a terrible day once again, can't wait for the next one.

...I find it funny that I used to be this really cheerful, positive person. Smiles all around, hardly ever a downer. Now look at me. I'm convinced it's another bad day cause I didn't sleep as long as I wanted to. Life'll do that to you, I guess.

...

I wonder how Roy's doing, that twisted bastard. Not the ghost, though. It's almost like they're two completely different people. I'd think so if they didn't have the exact same voice. Well. Sort of. Bee's voice is a lot raspier and quiet. Maybe that comes with death.

Bee's certainly a lot better to hang out with, to be honest. His voice is calming and he isn't constantly degrading me over little things like Roy would do. And he hasn't yelled once at me. Yet. We'll have to see. It's only the second day of knowing him, after all. Who knows, maybe he has mood swings like when he was alive.

I sigh, staring off into space for a second, before deciding to pull out that pretty blue flower I grabbed a little while ago and play around with it. I admire it from all angles, making sure to hold it tight enough so I don't drop it.

I wonder why he has such an amazing flower preserved like this. Did he pluck it awhile ago or something? Did he have this when he was alive or did he just find it? So many questions, and all just for a silly little plant. Still, there's one question I want answered over them all.

Why does he even have it in the first place and what was he planning to do with it?
