[A/N]—Let it be known that this is my very first angst, so I apologize if it's not that good. I did try to do justice to Rio's character and not make her too much of an OOC.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The little cottage in the woods was a welcoming change. You were not ready to return to your little apartment, not when Agatha's loss was still fresh in your heart. Thankfully for you, Rio had a little place that you had been to more than a few times and nights included.
You did not speak to her or eat, and she realized you needed your time. After all, you had been as close to Agatha as her, if not more. Having work to do, she left you alone for a few hours, taking that time as involuntary help on what to do next with you and her feelings of pain about Agatha.
Your favourite place has always been the roof, whether that would be in your little house or any tall place in general. Being closer to the night sky and the moon always offered you comfort, and the change of view helped your mind think better and clearer.
Even though the moon would take hours to come up to the sky and offer you some comfort, you still had the sun. The warm rays felt odd against your skin, for they could not penetrate the cold you felt coming from your heart, the empty spot Agatha had left with her passing.
Taking a deep breath, you tried to calm your racing mind and not think more of that deadly kiss and Agatha's body slowly decomposing in front of your very own eyes. You hugged your knees and closed your eyes, trying to think of something... anything other than your lover.
Suddenly, you felt that you were no longer alone. Lifting your head slowly, you wondered if Rio had chosen to return a little earlier than you expected. When you did not sense her right away, you grew suspicious, and you dared to look around you, checking the rest of the roof.
As you almost glanced behind you, something appeared in your vision and into your personal space.
"Boo!" a female voice said, startling you to the point that you moved back.
However, because you were already so close to the roof's edge, you lost your balance and fell off. Thankfully for you, your powers saved you from a harsh landing and then levitated you up, ready to face the intruder who dared to do this to you.
When you finally faced them, your eyes grew double in size. The intruder was not an enemy nor some random magical being—they were...
"Hello, sugar!" Agatha said, her familiar voice unmatched by anything.
You placed your feet by the edge of the roof and could not help but stare at your deceased lover. They were not exactly deceased this time, for they had become a ghost! Translucent and with white hair, only the face remained the same. Even the clothing had changed, somehow fitting her more than her usual witchy attire.
Words got stuck at the back of your throat, seeing her alive and just... there! You wanted to rush and hug her, to kiss her, but also to blast her with your magic. She had taken a ridiculous risk and acted upon selfish thoughts that she masked under the guidance of a selfless sacrifice...
You mourned for her, you felt your heart breaking into pieces, and yet here she was; damn proud she was a ghost.
In a moment of spontaneous anger, you slapped her or at least tried, for your hand passed through them, leaving your skin feeling a deadly cold that made you shiver.
Yet the move was enough to pass your point.
Agatha's smirk faded from her face when she realized just how pissed off you were. It was not just your attempt to slap her that made her realize that, but also the way tears prickled at the edge of your eyes, a combination of pain, anger and joy bubbling inside of you.

FanficYou have a past with Agatha, one as old as your age. Your roads often met, but she left you behind more than once. Now, once again, your paths cross, but this time, it is intentional. It started as a one-shot on my Tumblr account (mr-ys-phantasma)...
