I Could Die in Your Arms [Johnny Ghost X Johnny Toast(VT fanfic)]

Chapter 6

"Johnny!" Ghost exclaimed, knocking loudly on his door, not waiting for an answer before he pushed the door open, rushing inside. "Johnny, we have a case!"

Toast groaned, rolling over in his bed to look up at him. It had been three months since the conversation the two had had about starting PIE, and five months since Toast had began living with Ghost.

He blinked at Ghost, slowly processing what he had just told him. Once he realized, he quickly shot up into a sitting position, looking at Ghost with wide eyes. "A case?" He questioned, checking to be sure he had heard that correctly. Ghost nodded, confirming his question, and Toast grinned widely.

"That's amazing sir! We should get ready, then." He said, standing up. Ghost blushed at the realization that he had no shirt on, before quickly turning around to dart out of the room.

"Right! I'll let you get dressed. I'll make quick breakfast this morning. Then we can get going." Ghost shouted over his shoulder, closing Toast's door as he hurried to prepare before their very first case.

Both of them kept grins on their faces throughout the whole morning.

The two Johnnys both stepped out of the house they'd just been investigating. The two had found a small ghost, not a very high level, around maybe two possibly a three. The two had gotten rid of it quickly, a job very well done.

The kind old woman who lived in the house thanked them graciously, smiling as she shakily reached into her purse to pay the boys. She even tried to give them a tip, but the two kindly refused, saying they were simply very happy to help.

As the two clambered into their car(Toast's van, Ghost didn't have a car), they simply say for a few moments, staring straight forward and not saying a word. After what seemed to have been hours, Ghost let out a chuckle, unable to contain it from how happy he was.

"We.. Just got rid of our first ghost together... W-we actually did it.. PIE.. My dream, it's-its finally come true..." Ghost had a wide grin still etched over his face, however, tears were threatening to fall from his eyes. They were happy tears. He didn't think he had ever been this happy before, sat here with Toast, finally partners, and just finished with his very first case with him.

"I know." Toast whispered, almost unable to get the words out. "It's so.. Amazing... I'm so glad that we did this, Ghost." He smiled, leaning over in his seat to hug Ghost, who smiled as he hugged him back tightly, arms wrapped around his neck and face hidden in his neck as he let a single tear fall.

"I haven't been this happy in so many years..." He whispered, and Toast gave a small, almost sad smile.

"I'm glad that you're happy now.." He whispered back to him, and Ghost could have sworn he felt Toast press his lips to his forehead, just as they had three months ago, when the two had fallen asleep on the couch together.

The two simply say like that for quite a long time. They weren't sure how long, but to Ghost, it was over a bit too soon as Toast pulled away from the hug, clearing his throat.

"You know what we should do? We should go out, as a celebration. We have the money, and it will be nice to celebrate our dream finally being made a reality." Toast suggested, smiling over at Ghost, who's eyes widened.

Ghost quickly nodded his head, agreeing to the idea enthusiastically. Toast nodded, and began to drive back towards their apartment so the two could get ready. Ghost was still staring wide eyed out of the window, unable to keep himself from thinking of this as a date; although surely that is not at all what Toast intended for it to be.
