You were always destined to die.
Well… that’s what he told you every now and then. Not to scare you, of course..just to make sure you were careful.
In the end, he knew he would have to collect your soul. That was inevitable.
You clung to him like a leech that refused to let go… not that he really minded it.
He loved your company, even if he constantly complained about it. Why would he ever admit that, though? It felt ridiculous to him. Someone like him… a grim reaper… caring for someone like you?
Casper couldn’t deny it anymore,he had a massive crush on you.
For as long as you could remember, he had always been by your side.
It didn’t seem strange at first. When you were little, your parents brushed him off as nothing more than an imaginary friend.
“Mom, look! Look at what Casper’s doing!”
“Yeah… that’s nice, sweetie…”
But as you grew older, their concern did too. Eventually, you stopped talking about him altogether, not wanting to worry them.
Still, as you grew… he grew alongside you.

Now, you weren’t going to lie to yourself anymore.
Being around Casper made you feel something you had never felt before..this tight, fluttery feeling in your chest, like your heart didn’t quite know how to act around him.
You’d get nervous for no reason, your thoughts tripping over themselves.
It was strange. You didn’t like it.
Of course, it had to be love! that’s what the internet said anyway… and who were you to argue with that?
So the two of you stayed like that, quietly longing, silently hoping one of you would finally say something.
Which brings you to today.
Nothing special was supposed to happen. It was just another ordinary day, same routine, same quiet comfort.
You sat at your desk, lazily scrolling through your laptop, while Casper had claimed your bed as his own.
You didn’t know it yet… but Casper did.
He couldn’t keep it in any longer. no matter how much he tried.
He had to tell you… even if he knew he might regret it later.
“HUH- SORRY!” You spun around quickly in your chair.
He pouted before sitting upright on your bed, clearing his throat.
“May I have a word…?” he asked nervously. A faint blush dusted his cheeks.
You pretended to think about it, resting a hand on your chin as if you might actually reject him. “Hmm… I don’t know…”
“Are you planning on trying to kill me again?”
“I might… if you don’t let me speak.”
You broke into a grin. “Of course you can..I was just messing with you.”
He shook his head, mumbling something under his breath.
Then he took a deep breath.
“I have… unfortunately developed feelings for you,” he muttered quietly.
You blinked at him, confused. “Wait- what did you say?”
He repeated himself, somehow even quieter.
“Um… can you speak up, Grimmy…?”
He shouted it this time, turning away immediately and crossing his arms, refusing to meet your eyes.
A small one at first… then more.
“I like you too, Casper.”
He whipped around, completely stunned.
“I gave you so many signs!”
You rolled your eyes, standing up and walking over to sit beside him.
“Well, now you know. I do like you, Casper.”
His face burned as he fanned himself slightly. “Don’t say it so… stupidly.”
“How was that stupid?!” you scoffed.
Then, without warning, you leaned in and pressed a quick, soft peck to his cheek barely even touching him.
“Enough!” Casper shot up instantly and rushed out of your room, slamming the door behind him.. not in anger, but pure embarrassment.
You let out a quiet laugh, returning to your desk. Just as you looked back at your screen, a message popped up.
‘See you later, sunshine.’
You smiled and quickly typed back.
