Mathias watched from a hidden corner as the two brothers came and left, bringing in boxes. They had been doing it since noon. When they left again, Mathias came out. Scoffing at how they just left the boxes in the center of the room. "Don't they like having room to reach the hallways?" He asked himself, and started pushing the boxes to the edges of the room.
A few of them said Fragile, but the Dane just shrugged and pushed them just as hard as the others. Only feeling a little bit bad when he heard something break. Only a little bit! They were the ones who left their stuff with an unsupervised, bored ghost.
The door started jingling, giving the signal that someone was unlocking it. Disappearing, Mathias waited to be praised for his good work on moving the boxes. He thought he did pretty good. But when Lukas came in, he just groaned slightly and muttered, "I swear if the bastard broke anything..." Mathias gasped slightly at hearing those words, reappearing, "I'm not a bastard!" The Norwegian jumped in surprised, seeing the young man suddenly appear.
This time, Lukas got a good look at him. Wild spiky blonde hair, the blue eyes, and if you looked closely you could see freckles. The analyzing stare caused Mathias to speak again, "I moved your dumb boxes out of the way, and you call me a bastard." He crossed his arms. Lukas shrugged, "I suppose that wasn't kind..." He had never had to apologize to a ghost before, it was weird, "Sorry...?"
Mathias' flushed slightly, no one had apologized to him before. Of course the only person he had conversed with was Emil. And Emil's voice wasn't like Lukas'. Who's voice was deep, and smooth, the only difference between words was the hint of questioning at the end... "Y-yes. You should be sorry.. You are moving into my house," he eventually said, feeling a bit embarrassed at his distraction. Instead of waiting for a response, Mathias disappeared.
Lukas was a bit confused. This ghost is strange... Even though he had no other ghost experiences to compare this to. He didn't bother calling out to the other, since he had more important things to do, than conversing with the dead. Like getting all the boxes inside before the rain started again.
As he was getting the last box inside, his phone rang. "Hello?" He managed to answer before the last ring.
"Lukas! It's Tino, I'm calling from Berwald's phone."
It took him a moment to remember who Tino was, the stress was really getting to him if he was already forgetting simple things.
"Ah, yes. Tino, did you need something?" He didn't mean for that to come off harsh.
"Well... You see, Emil won't unlock the door for us. He says you told him to keep it locked," Tino gave a small nervous laugh. Lukas covered the microphone so he could groan loudly, then uncovered it, "Slide the phone under the door and I'll speak to him." The Finn gave a cheery 'okay' and there was some shuffling.
About a minute later a hesitant voice answered, "..Hi Lukas..." Lukas found it hard to feel upset, since Emil did listen to most of his instructions. "Emil let Berwald and Tino in. Show them where the rest of our packed boxes are. I'll be home soon."
"Yes Big brother..."
"Bye, love you. I want you to give the phone back before hanging up."
"Okay. Bye, love you," Emil muttered. Kids were a hassle. Lukas heard the door being opened, and Tino was returned to the phone, "We're in! Are you moving the beds tomorrow?"
"Yeah-" the Norwegian cut off when heard a crash. "I-I'll call you back," he hung up and looked to where the sound had come from.
As soon as his eyes landed on the knocked over stand, he saw Mathias a few bright glowing orbs quickly scattering.
"I hope you all know I'm not putting up with this," Lukas said, slightly irritated. Deciding that he wasn't dealing with this, he turned and left, locking the door. "Not today Satan..." He muttered getting in the car.

"He was so handsome!" Emma gushed, kicking her chubby legs. Which caused a few dandelion seeds to fall off her green dress. Michelle giggled, "Is that why you didn't scare them off? Or is it the little boy? Children are sweet," her and Emma started whispering things to each other.
Mathias was blushing darkly, "Stop gossiping about us! Or you'll end up acting like the fairies." That caused the two to scoff, and the third to join in, "Fairies are vain! We are not." The third hmphed, closing her almond shaped eyes and tilting her nose up. The first two nodded in agreement.
"Okay, okay, you're right. Just stop teasing me over the new family!" Mathias exclaimed, not wanting his few friends to be angry, "And Lukas didn't appreciate you guys knocking over the stand." Mei, the third sprite snickered, "We can only come in every few days. We just wanted to have a bit of fun." The Dane rolled his eyes, "You're all going to get me in trouble." He started to lead them outside.
"They've only had eye contact twice, and exchanged a few words. Yet he's already smitten!" Emma said to Mei, with her catish grin. "Girls, we're embarrassing him, let the man crush in peace," Michelle cut in, linking arms with Emma. Their glows mixing as they brightened in the dark of the rain. A blend of blue and green.
Mathias groaned, "I don't even know him! And I'm dead, so I can't fall for anyone!" His last words caused the girl trio to glance between themselves, murmuring okays that didn't sound too sure...
