@sanjana_lmao sorry for the long wait, your wish is granted <3

There are to many stars out tonight. 

They light up the usual smoggy sky, sitting in every corner of the atmosphere and leaving no use for street lamps because the world is already bright enough.

I find Casper resting under a especially vivid section of the sky, his back against the ground and arms behind this head, running his fingers across the spiky grass.

"Hay" I speak as I plop down next to him.

"Hi."

A slightly uncomfortable silence fills the air.

"The stars are nice tonight." I mumble trying to break up the tenseness.

"Yup."

I frown. Casper usually always has something to talk about, something to show me, something to say that is so spectacular, its not worth a hush stillness between us. But all of a sudden....he's different. When I glance at him, there's a dullness in those gorgeous blue eyes, a type of empty that swallows you whole and never lets you return to the happiness there had once been. I should know. It's happened to me.

"Is something wrong?"

I was not much for bluntness, but Caspers oddly quite person tonight made me slightly frustrated. This was supposed to be a good night, with no silly moods interrupting it, and if there was any way I could prevent that from happening, I would.

"No."

I huff, a teasing glare resting on my face as I glance at him. "Really?"

"Yup. Hay, did I ever tell you about how I died?"

Oh.

"No..." I say, my voice suddenly soft. So that was what this was about.

Casper sits up and sighs. "I'm sorry Nick. The night I-" he pauses abruptly.

".....left?" I say, trying to help.

He gives me a sad smile, continuing. "Yea, the night I.... Left....  Was similar to this. You know, just very beautiful. Too beautiful for what had happened."

"You don't have to tell me you know, It's okay, I-"

"No. I want you to know."

I appreciate it, but I don't know if I want to know. I'm not sure I want to see the image in my head of that Casper. Of dead Casper. But I don't tell him this. Instead I scoot closer, and say "whenever your ready". Instead, once again, I put Casper before myself.

I don't mind though. I would put the Casper before the world.
