He loved you. He had always loved you.
Even after you left him behind... Even after everything you said to him, even after everything he said in response. It was an argument that happened to destroy your friendship.
He had been there for you since you were a kid, always your best friend. But once you grew into an adult... Something had changed, between the both of you...
You had felt as though you were getting too old to have such a childish ghost for a friend... And he felt as though you were the most perfect being in existence.
He never... Expressed these thoughts of course... But they still lingered, even now as he watches you move back into your old childhood home he had never left... He takes in a deep breath for a moment, his gaze upon you as you take in the mostly stale, and unchanged atmosphere...
"It's showtime.." The ghoul utters to himself as he prepared to pop up and greet you... With a good spook, of course!
And like that... He was sneaking up behind you... "Oh-ho-ho... This'll be good..." He utters out quietly to himself.
