"Only nerds sit on roof stops and stare up at the sky." I paused to look back at the city. "Then again, my girlfriend and I did it almost all the time she stayed the night at my house."

🌀

I blinked in surprise. Girlfriend? Hm. I wasn't going to give her the 'righteous union of man and woman' talk, though. It didn't seem like the time for that. "Pick a side. Is it nerdy or not?"

2015-04-26 09:17:46

●

"...Maybe both?" Just like I was.

2015-04-26 09:19:04

🌀

Completely illogical. Oh well. I didn't really care. I swung my legs and tugged on the neck of my turtleneck. The aforementioned breeze was beginning to grow chilly.

2015-04-26 09:22:20

●

I, on the other hand, did not feel the cold. Was it because I was dead? Or in a vampire? "Cold?" I asked.

2015-04-26 09:26:33

🌀

"...yes." Terezi had said before that she only felt heat under the sun. So she must be perfectly comfortable right now. I didn't want to make her go in just because I was slightly uncomfortable. "It's fine, though. Simply the altitude." I picked up a leaf from the roof and tossed it, watching it drift downwards and away.

2015-04-26 09:30:31

●

Hmmm... Didn't Terezi have something for that? Oh yes! "Stay right there, I'll be right back. Okay?" I got off the ledge. "Don't move." I took off down the steps and into Terezi's apartment.

When I returned to the roof, I held the red silk blanket tightly. "Here." I handed it out to him. "Use this."

2015-04-26 09:33:45

🌀

I was confused when she left, but when she returned with the blanket I smiled a little. "...thank you." I tugged it from her hand. It was awkward maneuvering it around myself, and I ended up having to move off the ledge for fear of falling.

2015-04-26 09:38:46

●

"Better?" I asked, smiling at him.

2015-04-26 09:39:29

🌀

"Yes, much." I looked at her, then up at the moon, the only heavenly body still visible through the light pollution. "....I think it's almost midnight. Will you be turning into a pumpkin anytime soon?"

2015-04-26 09:44:03

●

"Last time i checked, no. I may be dead, but I'm not Cinderella....why do you ask?"

2015-04-26 09:45:37

🌀

I'd been intending a joke. Apparently it didn't work. And besides, Cinderella didn't turn into a pumpkin, her carriage did. "You mentioned you might only be able to stay until midnight."

2015-04-26 09:47:25

●

" It was depending on how long I wanted to stay. Though, if you want me to go...I can?"

2015-04-26 09:48:51

🌀

Oh. Was that her only reason for leaving? ....I would have to ask her to leave eventually, I'm sure Terezi wouldn't appreciate missing an entire night. But I didn't really want her to go. Of course, I was also going to fall asleep any minute now, so maybe that was the best bet. ".....perhaps. I won't be in a conversing state for much longer, anyways. And she'll already be mad enough that you possessed her, much less for twelve hours straight."

2015-04-26 09:54:43

●

"Okay then...So, should I put her somewhere safe or just do it right here?" I wasn't too sure how this whole...possessing thing would go.

2015-04-26 09:56:26

🌀

"Back in the apartment, probably. Especially since you're....well, sort of on a precipice." Picking up the blanket, I went over and reached a hand to help her up.

2015-04-26 09:59:54

●

"Yeah, I guess your right." I took his hand and stood up onto the roof.

2015-04-26 10:01:38

🌀

We went back down to the apartment, which I had left unlocked, oops. Fortunately, no squatters had taken up residence in the fifteen minutes since we'd left it, and I made sure it was secure once we were inside. Then I sat her down on the couch. "That should do it."

2015-04-26 10:04:14

●

"Alrighty." I smiled. "It was nice talking to you, Seculus. I hope we can do it again soon." Then, without another word, I left.

Terezi collapsed on the couch once more.

2015-04-26 10:05:57

🌀

"....yes. You as well," I muttered after she left, and put the blanket over Terezi before sitting beside her and yawning.

2015-04-26 17:20:34

●

A few minutes later, Terezi's eyes fluttered open. "Wha....what happened?" She groaned. Why did it feel like there was a hole in her pants leg?

2015-04-26 19:25:09

🌀

I looked over at her. Oh dear, right, now for the explanation. Should I tell her the truth? ...no, I was a horrible liar. "Well....remember the friend I mentioned I talked to in my dream? She kind of....spontaneously decided to possess you..." I was so going to get yelled at, wasn't I?

2015-04-26 19:44:30

●

Terezi was quiet for a few moments, more than likely to process what happened while she was out. "Oh....did I know them, at least?" She asked.

2015-04-26 19:47:41

🌀

"Um....possibly? She said you killed her." Great relationship, right there.

2015-04-26 19:49:13

●

"Yes, because that totally narrows it down a lot." She responded sarcastically. Did he realize who she was? Or what she was?
