[ Ghosts don't like company ] Free de la Hoya

"This is the worst." You sigh, wandering aimlessly within your bedroom. BC Sol had thrown a small party to celebrate yet another victory and since it'd been late into the evening, the party had concluded with some ghost stories.. who even liked those?!

Now, you weren't scared! Not at all..

Then, you heard a rather quiet knock to your door. Of course, it made your heart jump and your stomach churn in fear, like every other sound after the party! It was well past midnight now, whoever could it be? Perhaps a ghost..?

"W-Who is it..?"

. . .

No answer? Was it actually a ghost?! A demon, even?

You quietly tip-toe towards the door, curiosity getting the better of you despite how frightened you'd been. Slowly, you open the door ever so slightly to peek outside.. only for the door to be flung open just like that! You almost scream at this, only for a hand to silence you. Fearfully, you look up, only to meet a pair of dull black eyes.

..Free? So late at night? He even scared the shit out of you!

The blond removes his hand from your lips, then sighs.

"You look like you've seen a ghost." He comments sarcastically, taking note of your frightened expression.

"N-Not.." You frown, turning away. What could he possibly want so late?

"Sure." He says with a small shrug of his shoulders. "You seemed like you would break down in tears back then." There's that teasing tone of his, despite how monotone he'd usually sound.

He noticed that before?! Though, how? It was so dark, so to notice something like that he would've had to pay really close attention to you..

"How did you know?" You inquire, somewhat curious.

He doesn't respond.

"Of course." You groan, somewhat annoyed. "W-Why are you here?" Why'd you almost give me a heart attack? You almost say.

"Bored." He looked pretty bored, alright..

You pout. "I guess you can come in." Though before you could utter those words, he'd already invited himself inside your room, getting quite comfortable on the floor right by your bed.

After some uninteresting staring contest between one another, Free had broken the silence.

"You couldn't sleep." He smirked, eyes fixated on you. "Scared?"

You couldn't exactly deny it as much as you wanted to, you could feel your cheeks growing red due to embarrassment already.

"Ghosts can't bother you now, I'm here." He then added.

"..T-Thank you." Nervously, you meet his gaze. He seemed quite amused, though his smile was genuine regardless of how much pleasure he'd taken in teasing you.

Free didn't say much afterwards, not that it bothered you. You appreciated the company, it took your mind of those stories..

After growing tired of standing around, you walked over to him and plopped down by his side. It seemed like the more interesting thing to do. You reached over for your blanket and wrapped it over yourself, a bad idea. Not too soon after, your eyelids grew heavier and heavier.. It didn't take a few more moments until you'd fallen asleep right beside him. Free waited a few minutes to make sure that you were in fact, asleep.

Once he confirmed, he quietly chuckled to himself.

Free then threw a pillow at the lightswitch to turn the lights off. Afterwards, he got comfortable, leaning his head against yours. He remained like that until he too, had fallen asleep by your side.

Just as he planned. Afterall, those ghost stories were his idea.
