It’s been a few days since Casper ran away with the mortal he was supposed to reap the soul of. It hasn’t been too bad, cuddling with them felt… nice… to say the least. Of course, he tried not to make it painstakingly obvious that he absolutely loved the way they held him in their arms. Their warmth just felt so… comforting. The first time, it was like he realized how much he actually needed to be held like that. He did almost cry that night, though he caught himself before a tear could run down his face. If he remembered correctly, mortals called those… “happy tears”…
Casper’s thoughts were interrupted, however, when he saw a familiar figure sitting at their desk fast asleep with their head in their arms. Upon closer inspection, Casper noticed heavy eye bags under their eyes. No doubt they probably passed out from how tired they were. Casper sighed “Sunshine, you really need to get more rest…” he said, feeling a bit bothered but also mostly worried. Taking a deep breath, he exhaled and decided to take matters into his own hands.
Casper left for a moment and checked the closet until his eyes laid on a nice, soft blanket. Reaching out, he grabbed it and closed the door. “This should be suitable” he said to himself as he walked back to the sleeping figure. Carefully, he draped the blanket onto them and adjusted it to make sure it covered them. After placing the blanket, Casper caught a glimpse of the smallest smile on their face. His eyes lit up- how could someone be so cute while asleep?? He had to admit, he felt a soft smile spread onto his face and he admired the person in front of him. His sunshine…
He leaned down and gave them a gentle, soft kiss on the forehead, being careful not to wake them up from their much-needed slumber. Casper gazed at them one more time before speaking up, his voice barely above a whisper
“Good night, sunshine~”
