Ghost {Hollywood Undead x Reader} ON HOLD

; Chapter Six - Going Home ;

An hour had past and you now stood in front of a display for some type of self-stirring mug, giving it a quizzical look. For a solid three minutes you looked down at your shopping list that you had created on your phone and back up at the display, trying to figure out if Jordon really needed this device.

"Why would someone even make this?" You questioned, slipping your phone into your pocket and picking up the box. "Alright, whatever. It's the last thing I need..." You placed the box into the cart and looked over all of the objects with a sense of triumph. You were finally finished shopping, and only had to do two things before leaving the store.

One of those two things was finding Danny, who had walked off shortly after you had went down the produce aisle. He didn't quite tell you where he was planning to go, but after remembering something the brunette had mentioned earlier, you had a pretty good idea.

You rounded the corner of the aisle, and sure enough, there stood Danny. One hand rested on the shelf before him, his eyes scanning the various types of beer. The sound of a shopping cart's wheels dragging against the concrete flooring made him look over, a light smile coming on his face when he realized you had found him.

"Sorry about walking off like that." He apologized, looking back over beer. "Dylan's been complaining that we don't have anything to drink for awhile." His face scrunched up before he pulled a box of Blue Moon out and examined it. He must have deemed it worthy, because he placed the alcohol into the cart straight after. "Is that everything?" Danny asked, receiving a nod from you. With that, you and Danny began making your way to the check out station.

While in line, you were looking at a few tabloids when your phone suddenly buzzed. You retrieved it from your back pocket and smiled, seeing the name Delson displayed across the notification screen. You quickly opened the message, not even bothering to check the preview first.

From: Delson

Hey, mind doing a video chat 2night? I have big news

You stared at the screen for a few seconds, attempting to figure out what this 'big news' may be before texting back.

To: Delson

Yeah, sure. Can't wait x

With that, you put your phone away to find you were the second in line. You were currently waiting behind an lady who seemed to be in her late thirties,  accompanied by a screaming child.

You looked over to see Danny cast you a look of annoyance. You couldn't help but allow a smile to slip onto your face at his reaction.

"Do you not like kids?" You hummed in curiosity. He seemed to look at the mother and child once more before his gaze switched to you.

"Kids are fine. Screaming kids, well that's another story." You held in a laugh, watching as the woman finished her transaction and exited the line. You and Danny moved up and began transitioning the items in your cart onto the moving belt. You noticed how the cashier didn't attempt to make small talk, her expression similar to stone as she rung up your items. It was in that moment you realized just much you two had bought. Let's just say you weren't looking forward to the long trek back to the apartment.

"We're home!" Danny chorused as you pushed through the apartment's front door, immediately making a b-line towards the kitchen. You rested the bags you were carrying onto the counter. The other members began to fill into the kitchen as you rubbed your sore arms.

"There they are." You smiled lightly at the sound of Jordon's voice, he must have arrived home before the both of you.

"Y/n was leaving to go shopping earlier, so I decided to tag along." Danny explained, setting his own bags onto the counter top.

"Did you get the laptop?" George questioned, leaning himself onto the wall.

"I also got all of the things you guys requested." You began to unpack some of the plastic bags.

"Even my mug?" Jordon perked up, causing you to chuckle.

"Yes, even the mug." You watched as Dylan walked over and picked up the self-stirring mug you had placed onto the counter.

"The fuck? Why do you even need this?" He questioned the other rapper, his eyebrows furrowing in the process. Jordon shrugged.

"Reasons..."

"That's not even a proper answer."

"Well if someone hadn't broke the one I got in Tampa." This sparked a mini-argument through the two males. In your amusement, you almost didn't notice Jorel silently helping you put items away.

"Thank you." You graciously told Jorel, picking up the case of Blue Moon and placing it into the fridge.

"No problem." He responded, nudging Matty to help out too. After George got between the two that were still bickering, the whole band began to help put items away.

You had just finished setting up your new computer when the familiar sound of a face call request came from your phone. You eagerly picked up the device, clicking accept. It only took a few seconds for Delson's face to appear on the screen, his wispy brown hair pointing every which way.

"Hey." His voice was gravely and a pitch or two lower.

"Did you just wake up?" You questioned, looking over at the clock. "Delson, it's like two o'clock."

"For you it is." He grumbled, running a hand through his hair. "Plus, a nap or two never hurt anyone."

"You're such a lazy ass." You laughed, leaning your head on the head board of your bed.

"That's no way to treat someone who just finished writing the last song to his EP." It took you a minute for his sentence to click, identifying this as the 'big news' he was talking about over text.

"What? No way! I'm happy for you Del!" You smiled brightly.

"I talked to Austin about it and he said we can start recording tomorrow."

"That's great." You were extremely happy for your best friend, knowing how hard it was for him lately. Even though Delson was in a four member band, he would only write his songs with the bassist, Ben. . But, ever since Ben had quit the band on a bad note a few months ago, Delson had began writing the songs by himself. Delson seemed to lose most of his ideas when it came to writing, and you began to fear what would happen to the band's EP. "What got you back into the mood all of the sudden?"

"Y'know...stuff..." You deadpanned at his answer, before you managed to read his face.

"It's a girl, isn't it?" You hummed teasingly.

"What? No." He suddenly protested, leaning up in his bed.

"Del, I've been your friend for how many years now?I can tell when you like someone. Who's the lucky female?"

"No one." Your smirked only grew as his brown eyes avoided the camera.

"Then why are you getting all defensive?" You questioned. Delson seemed to fumble with his words for a second before sighing.

"Just shut up or I'm not letting you hear the song." This, as he predicted, did make you grow quiet. You watched as he got up, taking the phone to his desk and leaning it up against the something. He made it wouldn't fall before backed away, moving out of frame for a few seconds and picked up his guitar. You watched in awe as he sang the song, a giant smile formed on your face by the time he finished.

"It was really cute, Del. She sounds great. I hope everything works out for you."

"Me too..."
