(something I wrote last week and I'm not sure what it is but I hope you guys like it :>)
The Ghouls ate breakfast together and everything was normal, they talked and as always Dewdrop ignored Phantom.
Since Phantom was the new rhythm guitarist Dew ignored him.
Phantom finished off his chores and walked into the garden, sitting on the grass with his guitar and just enjoying the rest of the warm and sunny day.
Phantom played guitar and hummed the melody when Dewdrop walked up to him.
Dew stood a few feet behind him, just listening and enjoying it even though he would never admit that he liked it or the quint in front of him.
After Phantom finished the song he noticed someone staring at him and turned around to face the shirt fire ghoul. Phantom was ready for everything, he was ready for Dew screaming or laughing at him but no, the other man softly smiled and complimented him.
"That sounded really good, I like it." Dewdrop told him, he was shocked and needed a second to register what he said. "Thank you, Dewdrop." He said shyly, a small smile playing on his face.
"May I join you?* Dewdrop asked him, he wasn't sure why he was nice to the younger ghoul but he also didn't mind it since they're a pack. Phantom nodded at his question, giving Dew the okay to take a seat on the ground next to him and that's what the fire ghoul did.
It was silent for a while, none of them knew what to say but after a while Dewdrop spoke up. "I'm sorry" these simple two words made Phantom smile and the quint knew what he meant without explanation.
"Don't worry, I know that you didn't want to be an arsehole. You're hurting because Aether left." The quintessence ghouls said softly.
"Still... It wasn't right of me to treat you like this and I'm really sorry... Please forgive me." Dewdrop said, it was obvious that he really was sorry.
Phantom smiles softly at him, putting the guitar aside and hugging Dewdrop.
Dewdrop was shocked but hugged him back after a short time, holding him tightly.
After a while they pull away and smile at each other.
"So... We're okay?" Dew asks, unusually shy and Phantom nods. "Yeah, we're okay, don't worry." Phantom says softly, taking his guitar again, placing it in his lap and beginning to play 'year zero'.
Dewdrop hums the melody, both of them relaxing and enjoying each other's company.
After the song ended there was a comfortable silence until Phantom chose to speak up again, a bit unsure if Dew would be okay with his idea.
"Maybe- ... Maybe we could watch a movie later? Of course only if you want and you're not uncomfortable with it, ple-..." Phantoms rambles until Dewdrop cuts him off with a soft smile. "Watching a movie together sounds nice."
"Wait you wouldn't be uncomfortable with watching a movie together?" Phantom was shocked, he didn't think Dewdrop would be so comfortable with him.
"If you want we could cuddle while watching a movie." Dewdrop says, his voicemail is soft. Phantom's smile widens a bit as he nods again.
They're sitting outside until the sun goes down, they're going to Dewdrops room and get comfortable. They sit with a few inches between them while they choose a movie and decide to watch 'corpse bride'. They chose to watch this movie to Dew's dislike but Phantom was happy, so Dewdrop was too.
They get a bit more comfortable on the bed and as the movie goes on, Phantom begins to cuddle into Dewdrop, resting his head in Dew's shoulder. Dewdrop wraps his arms around the quintessence ghoul, playing with his hair. The younger ghoul gives off a purr-like sound and cuddles more into the older ghoul.
It was weird to the fire Ghoul, he cuddled on the bed with the new ghoul that he hated for so long and ignored. Now, where he thinks about it again, he noticed that it was stupid of him to ignore Phantom just because he was mourning a loss.
He made a mental note to properly apologise to the quint and make it up to him with a proper dinner.
For now, he just played with Phantom's hair, while the younger ghoul relaxed and fell asleep.
