Ghostblossom: Memories of Frost

Memories of Frost

Cagney was sitting his garden watering the other plants, admiring how the leaves managed continuously keep their bright green hue. He felt a twinge of pride and smiled. He had done a good job, taking good care of the little ones!

The Blind Specter appeared behind him suddenly from a bluish patch of haze, holding his hands up so he could see what Cagney was doing. "Hi, Cagney!" He greeted, smiling.

Cagney jumped at the unexpected sound, shrieking. "AHH!" He fell back onto the ground with a soft "thud!" He instinctively glared up at what had startled him.

The Specter floated back a bit. "Sorry! I didn't mean to scare you!" He held his hands to his face, his cheeks flushed a darker blue in embarrassment.

Cagney took a deep breath, and his face softened. "It's okay..."

"What were you doing...?" Blind Specter asked, angling his hands down at the ground in an attempt to not make eye contact with Cagney

"Watering the little ones." He pointed to his bright red watering pail, sitting on its side a few yards away.

"Oh, that's nice!" Blind Specter smiled slightly, glancing up and looking a bit better.

"Yeah, the rain is a bit late this month so I need to help them grow strong!" Cagney explained, smiling a small smile. "I have to make sure they're healthy, so winter won't be as hard on them.

"That's a good cause." Blind Specter said, bending down to look at the flowers. "It sure looks like the water helped... "

"You think so!" Cagney grinned happily.

"Yeah! These little guys look really healthy."

Cagney blushed, his cheeks turning a light orange color. "Well, I always try my best with the little ones!"

Blind Specter gently patted the flowers, so his hands wouldn't phase through them, then floated up to face Cagney. "I can see that. You should be proud of how well you've taken care of them!" He saw Cagney's blush and blushed back.

"So what brings you here?" Cagney asked.

Blind Specter blushed even more. "N-Nothing, really. I just thought dropping by to see you would be nice!"

"Aww!" Cagney's blush increased.

The Blind Specter smiled. Cagney looked really cute when he blushed...

"So... uh! You want to go hang out some place or stay here?" Cagney had had what he called "a tiny crush" on Specter for a while. In all actuality, it was a very large crush. but he could never find the courage to tell him.

"Whatever you w-want!" Specter said, stuttering slightly and blushing more. He had only realized that he liked Cagney a few days ago, so he was still in the stage where all he could do was mumble, have his face flush dark blue, and try to sound like he was not at all interested in Cagney. His performance wasn't convincing to many besides the flower himself.

Cagney thought about it for a few moments, before suggesting something. "We could get something to eat!"

"Okay!" Blind Specter replied, grinning happily.

"Let's to Baroness von Bon Bon's new restaurant!"

The Blind Specter nodded. It would be like he and Cagney were going on a date! But not really... Well, the Specter could pretend!

Cagney held out his hand to Specter, very excited for their totally, 100% platonic date! Just two friends! Nothing more!

Specter popped out one of his eyes so there'd be no weird eye touching, then took Cagney's hand.
