Note: I am not an easily scared person. I do not mind the dark, my way to or from work often includes a walk through a pitch black forest at night. I dont fear spiders or snakes and I enjoy horror movies. But sometimes I get the creeps, I feel like someone is there, like im not alone, like Im being watched, like theres someone behind me. Usually its after exposing myself to something creepy, be it a horror movie or - in tonights case - the coverage of the astroworld catastrophy. I wont be able to sleep right now anyways - Im startling at every sound my cats make - so I’ll distract myself with this.
Now, this was the long introduction to: how would the ghouls comfort you if you had the creeps?
Its late at night and you are alone in your room at the abbey
youre tired and you would not mind some sleep but you cant shake this feeling of...being watched.
you even looked under the bed, then scolded yourself for being so childing to look for the monster under the bed
You turned on all bright lights several times to make absolutely sure nobody is there, just to find nothing and turn the lights off again
Even scrolling through your phone doesnt help
the tiniest noises make you jump and you feel silly for it - this is not your usual self
when you hear quiet steps outside your door walking down the corridor youre ready to believe you just imagined them - but yiu tense up anyways
you shriek at the knocking on your door
“y-yes?” - its so quiet youre not sure its audible
The door blasts open and in tumble a bunch of ghouls who seem very perplexed at your scared complexion
They saw the lights from your room going on and off from their common room and thought you sent them a morse signal
But you seem spooked, whats going on?
“Oh, its really silly... I just have the creeps. Feel like someones watching me or something. Probably from that horror movie we watched yesterday...”
“I mean its an old building, theres gotta be at least a few gho...”
“Swiss.”, Aether cuts him off and shakes his head “not helping.”
“Why dont you come back to our quarters for the night? If theres anything haunting you, we can all protect you. And if not we’ll just have a slu...”
“I’ll fight it”, thats Dew. You dont doubt him.
“SLUMBER PARTY!” - thats the Ghoulettes, who seem excited about that
you feel like a little child being comforted after a nightmare
The whole pack escorts you to their quarters
Mountain hands you a blanket and you get wrapped up and placed on one of the giant sofas.
Rain and Aether snuggle up to you, The Ghoulettes come back with a hot chocolate seconds later
Dew and Swiss set up the console and play Mario Cart while the rest of you are just watching, Aeth and Mounty dosing away already.
Rain is quietly purring, he has been told the sounds is calming to humans
The ghoulettes take turns soothingly running their fingers through your hair
