Casper had tryed to talk to Thatch the whole week. No response. In class he was ignored. During lunch the vampire disappeared and after class he locked himself in his room.

The ghost had given up. It was Friday. He layed face first on his mattress. „Are you sure you don't want to watch a movie today?" Ra asked checking his clothes. „Don't worry man we spent the whole whole week as a trio, you guys need some time alone again. „You know we don't have a problem with you tagging along, so if you change your mind call us." His best friend reminded. „Yeah thanks I appreciate that. Don't forget the condoms." he yelled before Ra left the room, showing the ghost his middle finger before closing the door.

He chuckled to himself before sighing. It was hopeless but he had to accept it. The only thing he still didn't understand was how that had become so angry with him after his 'breakup' he had told him that the vampire deserved better, way better. And that somehow hurt his ego a lot. For some reason. Of course he was allowed to be sad and Casper had no right to tell him how to feel but it still made him wonder.

The other mystery was who the fuck had made this audio of their fight in general and how did they get into Alder and Dash's office.

But all in all seemed the school to be a lot more peaceful. Wolfie and Monaco were finally a couple, while Slither and Dummy hadn't argued the whole week. So at least something positive. He turned around to look at the sealing. In the corner of his eye he could see the shirt Thatch had left at his dorm on Sunday. Casper had put it into the washing machine to get the smell of the party (and the tears) of it.

A knock on the door. Casper rolled from the mattress to open it. He froze. „Thatch. What are you doing here?" he asked confused.

The vampire had Casper's black shirt in his hand. It was totally crumbled. The ghost had almost forgotten it's existence. „Your stupid shirt." he muttered and pushed it into smaller one's hands.

Silence. The ghost's head was full of things to say. „I have your shirt." he answered. He was disappointed that this was the thing that came up. The vampire gave him this stare, you know the 'just do it loser' look. Casper cleared his throat and got the white shirt from his table and handed it over.

Silence again. The vampire was about to turn around when Casper gasped it out. „I'm sorry I didn't know my words would hurt you that much." Thatch froze before turning around. „Oh really? You didn't know it would hurt to be told to the face that you're not good enough for the guy you like." he growled. „Listen, Thatch I- Wait what are you talking about I never said that?" The ghost countered. „Oh no I remember you were like 'In a relationship u deserve the best you can have.' Bullshit." he shouted. „I didn't mean it that way! I meant that I'm not good enough for you and therefore you should get someone better." Casper yelled. Thatch chocked. „And how was I supposed to know that?!" he screamed. „I don't know I thought my personality gave that away!" the ghost answered equally loud.

Now it was silent again but in a different way. The boys stared at each other for a second. „...so you do have a crush on me? That's kinda embarrassing." The vampire smirked. „Says the one with the crush on the friendly ghost." the smaller one joked.

Without any other word Thatch was pushing the door aside to get inside the room, while his lips were already on Casper's.

Every emotion they had felt the last week was showing through that kiss. Anger, sadnesses but most importantly excitement to be with their loved one again. They separated breathing heavily. „I missed you." the ghost expressed in between the heavy breathing. „I love you." the vampire answered before kissing the ghost again, before pushing him onto the bed.

„Guys are you done I want to get food now." Dummy complained. „One sec" Casper muttered between kisses. „Shut up." Thatch hissed before kissing his boyfriend one last time. Then he was pulled along to his table. „I still can't believe I fell for your stupid lie if this is way more realistic." Mantha joked while Casper sat down.

So yeah. Boyfriends. Thatch and Casper were a couple now. All in all the ghost felt a lot better. The Jimmy situation still chewed on him and his eating and sleeping still wasn't normal but he believed he's overcome that, together with his friends and his boyfriend.

Only time could tell.
