okay guys hear me out on ghost meeting aphid!reader...
it's hard enough being a bug hybrid, many people have certain prejudice against you as-is, but as a hybrid with a "pest" counter-part? you're no stranger to rude and downright mean comments even from peers.
Which is why you're absolutely dumbfounded by ghost of all people approaching you out of nowhere to ask "can I take you on a date?"
You should know better, having been the victim of many 'pranks' in your youth, but something about the open way he says it has you hesitantly agreeing. He's attractive, funny, hopefully nice...it seems like a good idea.
Only for you to end up at a salad bar with a bowl full of leafy greens and fruits while ghost eagerly watches with an untouched plate. He smiles, pushes more towards you "don't be shy, lovie, eat up."
Sure, it's really weird, but not once has he made fun of your antennae or your mouthparts or anything....it's almost...nice?
"Can i try some of your honeydew?" Ghost blurts out in front of your apartment after an eerily silent car ride.
For a second, you're convinced he's joking. You've never met anyone who likes aphid hybrid honeydew, no one. Most don't know what it is. Those piercing brown eyes stay fixed on you unblinkingly, dead serious.
You've never been good at managing impulse, so you chitter happily and tug ghost inside.
Ghost finds a new favorite snack that night, and you find a boyfriend. Nice.
