Ghost AU (Ghostsuka + Eric)
[ Eric yawned, tired from school and helping out another ghost go over to the other side. It wasn't that he wanted to help, it just meant one less spirit to bug him for doing something that would let them leave him alone. A bag of convenience store food in one hand and his other in a pocket, he made his way slowly back home.
He couldn't remember a time when he never saw these things. His parents shrugged it off as imaginary friends and over active imagination as he got older. But when they started to tell him he was getting too old for these kind of stories, he stopped telling them all together. He thought he could tell his friends at school but with all the teasing and bullying that came after the stories disappeared as well. He was getting better at least figuring out who was real and who was a ghost. The looks he got when it looked like he was talking to himself were hardly good.
His parents were gone for so long that he couldn't remember when they were home last. They were gone for business a lot, traveling around Japan and other Asian countries, which was why they moved here to be closer to their business. So that left him alone with their home, his schoolwork and the many spirits wandering around aimlessly in the city. ]

no subject
He'll just drop the name subject--who knew not having one anymore would cause someone to want to give him one?]
What kind of homework? [Ghostsuka is now curious. It's not like he has anything else to do, and who knows. Maybe he could be helpful (how helpful could he be if he forgot his own name?)
But if Eric doesn't want him to do the thing, he'll...do something to pass the time. How long has it even been? Not sleeping has really messed with his sense of time.]
no subject
[ He chuckles at the English. It was required of everyone to take the course, but since he was fluent it was child's play, mostly the teacher would use him as examples and people begged for help. It was the only time he seemed to be useful to his classmates.
He looked at the time, almost nine. So much to do so little time and he was already pretty far behind. ]
Another all nighter it looks like...
[ He can sleep in class as usual. ]
no subject
Could I help? You can just talk aloud and I'll see if it makes sense when you're unsure.
[He didn't manage to go to an actual high school after all. One of his friends had taught him instead, but he isn't sure how much of that he remembers now.
But he remembers liking history, so maybe he could help with that.]
no subject
[ No one has offered to help for a very long time. His parents were always busy and he didn't have friends to go to. He was used to being by himself. It's easier and this ghost was disrupting his routine. ]
no subject
[He doesn't exactly want to...what, scream and make a mess of houses? What else do ghosts do...He hasn't been able to tell which of the people he's met are ghosts and which aren't.]
no subject
[ He was tired and had work to do he didn't feel like babysitting a ghost. He grabbed his bag and wandered into his room, getting ready for a long night. ]
no subject
He can listen to "give me space" when it isn't phrased that way. Hope you like his voice though, since he won't stop for a while.]
no subject
Eric doesn't come out of his room for the rest of the night, trying his best to finish his homework. But in the end it wasn't finished. He fell asleep at his desk, hand still graspin the pen. ]
no subject
That done, he goes back downstairs to start rearranging parts of the kitchen so when it's dawn he can start cooking.
There isn't exactly a lot to do when you don't need to sleep anymore and aren't always able to move things.]
no subject
Getting set for school and all packed up Eric wandered downstairs, thinking maybe the ghost wasn't there anymore. ]
Good morning...
no subject
[Nope, the ghost is still here. And being awfully cheerful for being...around at this hour of the morning.
Also, remember that thought about him making a bento? He did. It's on the counter.]
Hungry?
no subject
Ah...yeah.
[ He was pretty hungry and he had wnough time to have breakfast for a few more minutes at least. He sits down at the table ]
You really were serious about making me food...
no subject
[He knows Eric doesn't really know him, but...why would a ghost say that and not follow through? It's not like he has anything else to do...
But since Eric's sitting down, Tatara places some of the "extras" from the lunch in front of him along with a simple sandwich.]
no subject
[ He was used to people going back on their word, ghosts were no different.
He stared at the food placed in front of him and starts to eat, pausing to look up at the ghost. ]
It's good. Thank you.
no subject
[It's said gently, more like he's sad that that was Eric's expectation rather than offended that that was Eric's expectation of him.]
I'm glad! [Wouldn't it have been awful if this food that he cooked turned out to be terrible instead?]
no subject
[ He puts the fork down and looks up at the ghost. He had thought about it and looked up a few words and such. It was the best name but...if he didn't want to use it that was up to him. ]
How about...Tozuna? For your name.
no subject
Tozuna...Zuna, Tona, Tozuna, Tozu... [Feel free to tell him to stop repeating it and rearranging the syllables.]
no subject
[ He tried to combine 10 bonds: Toe and Kizuna. He wanted to call him something besides ghost. ]
no subject
[How do you describe something that feels like home and also foreign? He can tell that it wasn't his name, but it's close enough.]
If you need to, I think it's okay.
no subject
[ He wasn't expecting that. ]
As long as you don't mind.
no subject
[He waves a hand.]
I'll tell you if I do. Go back to eating. You don't want to be late for school because you were talking with a ghost, right?
no subject
[ He started eating again enjoying the food. A breakfast he hasn't had in a long time.]
Wouldn't be the first time...
no subject
[Sounds to him like they were newly dead. He sure feels like he has all the time in the world. Maybe it comes with no longer sleeping or needing to eat...
He'll...still ask questions while Eric's eating though.]
no subject
no subject
[Why rush when he literally has all the time in the world to do anything he wants?
But also, wow that was directed at him.]

i just realized his memory thing is like if he died and became a seraph....
Seraph Totsuka! A fire seraph or a light one?
because of how he "gets attached" maybe actually wind? we don't have light examples anyway
The wind that calms the fire
terrible plan since he'd be weak to fire...but yep
Maybe that would mean Mikoto wouldn't go as hard as he would if Totsuka was there
maybe! :|a
Just imagining green tipped hair Totsuka just being all ~:3~ with Mikoto and Kusanagi
chokes, what would they be in that kind of au
Mikoto Fire and Kusanagi Fire or Earth? Or the Shepherd XD
fire mikoto and earth izumo could work! anna is clearly the sheps
Who would be the water seraph? Yata Fushimi or Kamamoto?
a good question, probably fushimi or kamamoto
Kamamoto would be interesting
hahaha, and he's probably one of the first guys they got outside of trio in the clan
