I told you that I had to make this Valentines a good one for you! It's dark chocolate too. Because that is...SO MUCH better. And healthier. And I know you're into that kinda thing.
Yeaaaah...you once hated me forever for it. I'm banking on ghost hormones not being as extreme as vampire hormones.
[She crawls up to sit on his lap and pulls the mask up enough to feed him one of the mangoes before she starts to fight with opening the card. Which as a ghost takes a bit of time]
[She pulls a very confused face and stares at him] What? The guy who killed me?
[hugs her as he munches. The card has that classic picture of somebody's jaw dropping over Jessica Rabbit and the heart pounding out of the chest. On the inside, it's one of those blank ones that lets you write the stuff in, and what he has written is:
You know that person that is so INCREDIBLY HOT, like the most beautiful of hot and the most hot of beautiful, who you'd totally make wild, raunchy, illegal in 14 states love to except that she's a lesbian ghost and your BFF? But it's okay because you love her SO MUCH that you don't even NEED the ridiculously amazing sex? That's you. And THAT is love. Happy Valentine's Day, Anna!
[He waves a hand at her confusion] Don't worry about it. More fourth wall crazy stuff.
I'm pretty sure being being Dead makes any sex illegal. In more than just the states.
[She wibbles a bit at the back of the card and then hugs him tight so it isn't so obvious]
Thanks for being The Best. You do make me pretty happy. If it wouldn't turn me into a zombie corpse, I would consider breaking all those necrophilia laws.
Oh, that's what condoms are for. Less than a 2% chance of babies, so less than a 2% chance of zombification! The bigger barrier is that you dig chicks, and I respect that. Also, I dunno if Caspers have a sex drive, unless it's just to be that close to the people they love.
It's kind of flattering that you'd commit a felony for me.
I've fucked guys I like way less than how I feel about you. I don't know if that's because I'm dead and haunting you though, or how I feel... I want to think it's legit and not just a side effect of what I am.
Do you...remember those guys? [Curious...he wonders if she has memories from before being a vampire, and if it's just the vampire ones that are in his head]
[holds her face gently in his hands and leans his forehead against hers.] Does it feel real? Because the feelings are what count. Especially when you're a ghost and that kind of makes you a ball of feelings.
No. The book, when it whispers, only whispers about when I died. Not much of the life I had before.
[She lowers her eyes and bites her lip for a moment] I'm a ball of hate and desire for revenge... but yeah. It does feel real. I just don't know how much to trust what I feel.
And me, I shout about when you lived. You live now. More than you did as a vampire, even. I tried to help you live as a vampire, by giving you a food source so you didn't have to kill anybody. And I try to help you live now by giving you something more than hate and revenge.
[His hands slide down to her hands, and he holds them lightly while looking down at them.] Do you trust the book or me more? That's what's going to eventually define you. Because the book wants to make you it's. And I want to make you mine. [holds up a candy heart that says "be mine" Valentine's pun!
If I get a choice in the matter, I'd rather be yours. You know, even if we manage to screw things up like... 100% of the time between us. It's still better than The Book.
[He grins and hugs her again. To the sounds of Valentine porn in the background. Let's not forget that.]
And we don't! Not 100% of the time! So we're already ahead. But you know what we have that's special, even as BFFs, when compared to lots of other people? We forgive each other our screwups. No one else does that for you and me.
[There's really no putting that out of your mind, but she hugs him tight anyway. It's worth the effort to stay solid, and siphoning off him makes it less work than it otherwise would be]
Okay. Maybe not 100%, but we do tend to do it spectacularly. I mean.. we were almost one person... [She laughs a bit, even if most of the time their screw ups have ended with them feeling horribly, and in not-funny situations at all]
So.. No one else will forgive us... we have to for eachother... otherwise we'd be alone.
Everyone else has got eachother but.. I still feel pretty lucky with you.
[for what it's worth, he's actually not watching it with her right there]
We keep things interesting. [grins] Other people get boring after they make out. Although we...haven't really made out before. Just some awkward kisses.
