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 plays on his phone for about an hour before his stomach decides to bug him to eat something.
He makes a small sigh as he glances at the ghost ]
Hey...Tozuna...or Ghost...
no subject
And...if you're going to call me something, Tozuna sounds less weird than just being called "Ghost" all the time. Being remembered by the fact I'm dead just seems weird.
[Please say this is about food though, let him feed you....he's kinda worried about you, Eric.]
no subject
[ He didn't really want to impose the name on it if he didn't want it. But he also didn't want to just call him you or Ghost.
And please worry about him even though he doesn't want you to, someone has to. ]
Do...you know how to make curry?
i just realized his memory thing is like if he died and became a seraph....
Curry though...He grins.]
I think so! And if I don't, that's what phones and recipes are for, right?
[But it certainly seems like he knows, with how he sets down the book (with a bookmark, even if it's just a scrap of paper) and heads into the kitchen to start pulling ingredients out.]
Seraph Totsuka! A fire seraph or a light one?
[ Last time he checked anyways...
The washing machine beeps marking that it needed a second rinse so Eric got up to place it on the new cycle.
With that finished, he watched Tozuna pulling out what he needed and couldn't help but tilt his head. Anyone else would see cupboards opening by themselves and food flying through the air. He wondered if this would be proof enough to his parents that indeed there were ghosts around them and their son wasn't lying or crazy all these years?
Probably not.
He began to walk towards his room, homework needed to be done after all. But he stopped before disappearing from the ghost's view. ]
Uhm...if you need help...
[ Or if you know, you didn't want to cook for a kid that you've only known for about 24 hours, just let him know. He sighed, disappearing into his room to tackled some homework while he waited for Tozuna to finish. ]
because of how he "gets attached" maybe actually wind? we don't have light examples anyway
Probably when it's done. He hums to himself as he cooks, not thinking about the fact that this would look very Odd to anyone unable to see him. That doesn't really matter to him, after all.
He can see everyone and everything. It's hard to think about not being able to see something that you have "always" been able to see.
But not half an hour later, Tozuna calls out] Eric!
[Hopefully it's cooked to his satisfaction! ....he forgot to say it was done, didn't he. OH well.]
The wind that calms the fire
He stood up, finishing a question and poking his head out to the kitchen and dining room ]
Yeah? Oh...you're finished?
[ He ventures to the table and eyes the finished and delicious smelling curry. He sits down before looking back up to the man who prepared it. ]
It looks good.
terrible plan since he'd be weak to fire...but yep
But he turns away to start cleaning up what he can of the kitchen, leaving the pot with more curry on the stove in case Eric wants more. Much better than watching Eric eat, right?]
Let me know how it tastes, okay?
Maybe that would mean Mikoto wouldn't go as hard as he would if Totsuka was there
[ It was probably better then all that instant food he was eating up till now. He takes a bite out of it. ]
It's as good as it looks. You're a pretty good cook.
maybe! :|a
[Have a very cheery smile from the dead man, Eric.]
I figure I probably did a lot of it before, but I know I like it now so that's enough.
[chill ghost. what.]
Just imagining green tipped hair Totsuka just being all ~:3~ with Mikoto and Kusanagi
He'll continue to eat it, and enjoy all of it. ]
I can barely cook, there's either no time or no food. Instant was just faster. I guess having a skill like this is pretty useful.
chokes, what would they be in that kind of au
Tozuna laughs slightly.]
Maybe I was the same before I started to learn. For all I know, it might've been the only way I'd get food--can't get instant if you've got no money, right?
[Is he just saying things? Yes.]
Mikoto Fire and Kusanagi Fire or Earth? Or the Shepherd XD
He tilts his head. ]
I guess not
[ He takes another bite ]
But I guess you got good enough at it to make some pretty tasty meals.
fire mikoto and earth izumo could work! anna is clearly the sheps
But the kid's eating his food so he smiles.]
Good food usually makes the rest of your life feel better too, I think, so I probably just kept at it.
[Hm...] Would you like to learn? When you aren't too busy with school and other ghosts, I mean.
Who would be the water seraph? Yata Fushimi or Kamamoto?
He pauses a bit at the offer, kind of surprised by the sudden question.
He shrugs, fiddling with his fork a bit. ]
I don't think I would be a good cook...
a good question, probably fushimi or kamamoto
That's what practice is for, isn't it?
[It's not like he probably didn't burn things
like i did earlier todaywhen he was starting out, not that he can remember it now.]There's little that most people are good at right away, I think. And even if you're good at first, you can always get better.
Kamamoto would be interesting
[ He tilts his head, thinking. It would...kind of be neat to cook. To have less fast food would be a good idea... ]
If you don't mind teaching...I wouldn't mind learning.
hahaha, and he's probably one of the first guys they got outside of trio in the clan
