Don't wake me up, not just yet.- Anderperry

Todd is in disbelief of how evident and vivid Neil's features were. He wanted to sob and fall to Neil's arms. Be embraced by the soft green sweater that always paired with his blue one.

"Neil, is it really you?" This was Todd's first time trying to talk to him. This was the first time he actually could.

Neil nodded and smiled. Todd noticed that he was still wearing the crown. I suppose that actor in him is going to stay with him forever. It is his reasons for living, isn't it?

"Are you real? Just to make sure. You probably aren't but I-" He was cut off with a hand to his mouth and once again Neil nodded. His hand did not feel like much though. It felt more airy than how skin would actually feel against him.

"Are you a ghost? plus why aren't you talking to me?" He had so much questions that just continuously slipped through his mouth. He needed to know. Neil only shrugged his shoulders without a single sound coming out of him. Todd is now left dumbfounded. He doesn't have a single clue of what's going on, let alone what's real.

"You promise me you're real?" Neil nodded, staring at him with deep dark eyes that could mirror your face onto it. That was enough to make Todd believe him. He tried to give Neil a hug but his arms only passed through.
Neil tried to hug him back which didn't work either.

"This is so shit. You can't talk and I can't hold you either." Todd was devastated and he sat down. He looked up at Neil who now had a frown on his face. A sorry kind of frown. "Neil, I'm not mad at you. I'm sorry." So then the airy ghostly figure sat next to him. His faint hands sat on top of Todd's hands as a way to comfort him.

"Thank you for visiting me, Neil. I've been longing to see you. You don't know how hard it was living through without you. After you've gone everyone else did too and I just couldn't do it anymore. And now you are here in this silly dream and I'm just so happy." He sobbed. He cried and cried while Neil watched him. Then again Neil couldn't hold him but he still tried. He float his arms around Todd and gave him a sweet comforting kiss on the head. Todd could feel it.

As Todd was about to kiss him back, the place started to shake. Todd was scared. "What's going on?" Neil only waved his hands and gave him one last kiss for today. And so Todd had awoken and saw Knox shaking him repeating "Todd! You are going to be late, c'mon!"

Todd was absolutely pissed but he couldn't do much and just stood up to get ready for school.
