A/N

You wake up to the sound of rain, you check your phone for the time and see it's nearly noon. You force yourself out of bed with a groan and a stretch. You begin to remember what happened last night, you already start blushing a bit. You get up, get dressed, and do the rest of your daily routine. Then you eat yourself a quick bowl of cereal. You run upstairs to see Barb and Adam but you don't see them anywhere, where could they have gone? You wonder. A tiny bit of panic begins to arise within you, but you quickly shut it down and think they might be doing something else, right? You walk back downstairs to the living room and see Betelgeuse sitting on your couch, he turns his head to you, smiles, and gestures for you to come sit with him. You are reluctant at first but you decide screw it and you sit down next to him.

Y/N POV

I sit down next to him. "Hey...do you happen to know where Barb and Adam are? I looked in the attic and they weren't there." He smiles at me "Nah, I don't really keep up with them so it's no different to me." I let out a sigh, I just hope they're okay, but really what's the worst that could happen? They are already ghosts after all, so I stop worrying about it and watch TV. He puts his arm around me and slowly pulls me closer to him so that our hips are practically touching.

I notice him staring at me, for a moment our eyes meet and we longingly stare into each others eyes. Wow he has such pretty eyes for someone who's well...not exactly alive, and you would assume him being dead that he and his breath would smell horribly, but surprisingly he doesn't. He smells of old spice and he actually has minty fresh breath. Wonder if he's doing this all for me? NO! He doesn't care about things like that, he's just a gross pervert!...Right? I think to myself.

After a minute of realizing how long we were staring into each others eyes I decide to break the contact and silence. "So uhh...BJ...what do you do when you aren't here?" I ask. He leans back, crosses his legs, and stares at the ceiling. "Well babes, I just sit in my boring little home that I have and do basically nothing. I Mostly sit and watch TV I guess." I look at him a bit shocked, for some reason I assumed he was just always watching me, but I guess not. I don't understand...am I...falling for him? Surely not...Adam said that nobody could ever love someone like him...right? Yet even though they say he's "evil", he makes me smile.

A/N 

You and Betelgeuse talk for a bit, you find yourself beginning to see a softer and sweeter side of him. You laugh at every joke he makes, and when he stares into your eyes you can feel your heart race and butterflies in your stomach. You hate to admit it but you seriously are starting to like him, fall for him even. All the times he touches your face, or just pulls you closer to him, it drives you crazy in the best way. Before you know it, it's late at night. Time just seems to fly by when you speak with him, and you realize that maybe the reason you denied him at first was because of what Barb and Adam said to you about him being "dangerous", but to you he seems that he's more of a big pushover.

BJ's POV

When I am with Y/N time just seems to fly by, she has such a beautiful smile, and I like how she's so sweet and innocent yet she's a sassy bitch at times. I notice her eyes are beginning to get puffy, and she seems quite tired. I check the time seeing that it's getting really late. "Hey babes, I hate to say this but it's really late, you should get to bed." I run my fingers slowly through her hair, it's so soft and fluffy, I could do this all day. "What n-no I'm fi-*yawns* fine." She say's as I can see her clearly about to fall asleep. I grab her and pull her as close to me as possible, practically cuddling her. I can't help but think she looks so very cute all sleepy. Before I know it she falls asleep laying her head on my shoulder. I do the decent thing and carry her up to her room and lay her on her bed, pulling the covers over her and tucking her in like you would a child. I kiss her on the forehead. "Goodnight babes...sweet dreams." I Snap my fingers and find myself back at home within a second.
