homralings | 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. ]

[Too bad for him, this ghost didn't want to move on (this place was more interesting after all) and...This kid seemed kind of lonely, with his parents being gone and accidentally alienating his friends by talking about the ghosts. He may be dead, but he can be a friend. Right? Right.

So when Eric came home that day, there was a cheerful ghost in his house, humming as he looked around the kitchen.]

You have a lot of food here!
