Quackity sighed as he leaned back in the air, stretching out slowly with a soft groan. His smoking had finally caught up with him, and his last life had been ripped away from him roughly. He now resided in limbo, but often snuck out in order to go see the people on earth. Tubbo had risen up to rule Las Nevadas in his place, and of course, nobody truly mourned him. Not even Karl and Sapnap. Sapnap had already moved on to someone else, and Karl remained the same forgetful idiot (/lh). He sighed as he watched the three people, not noticing as Fella came up and shoved his head under the hybrid's hand. He was a bit startled, but chuckled as he looked down at the sheep. "Hey, Fella. I thought you were with...Friend..." He trailed off a bit, quietly sighing as he leaned his head back with a soft groan. "Oh boy...where Friend is, Ghostbur is too...great..." He sat in the air and allowed Fella to sit on his 'lap' as he stroked his hand through the animal's wool casually.

Wilbur; rather, Ghostbur now; watched after Friend as he trotted a trail for the ghost to follow, clinging onto some blue as per his usual afterlife mannerisms. He was still dressed sharply in his yellow sweater and beanie, mimicking how he originally looked before the war for L'Manberg went down. The blue-wooled sheep was carefully finding Fella, as wherever Fella went, Friend was bound to go as well, being all too true to his name. Friend more than happily bolted up to his friend the second he laid eyes on the fellow sheep, bleating with joy as he softly rubbed his head against Fella. He looked up at Quackity too, but paid him no interest. Ghostbur, of course, paused upon seeing the now dead duck hybrid, but shot him a soft smile as he floated over. He quite literally didn't know any better, having little to no recollection of who Quackity was or their past; thank the afterlife for that, otherwise, he probably wouldn't have hesitated to flare up with fury.

Quackity- or Ghostity- looked up at Ghostbur before scoffing quietly and looking down at Fella, rubbing his head softly. "Hmph. I don't understand how you can handle them, Fella." He grumbled softly as he leaned in to rest his forehead on the sheep's, Fella letting out a soft bleat that mimicked Ghostity's voice. However, the red-wooled sheep stood up and trotted away with Friend, leaving Ghostbur and Ghostity together. It made the now-dead hybrid annoyed, and he raised an eyebrow at Ghostbur silently before pulling a bit of red out of his pocket. "Here, have some red. You need it more than that dumb blue." He huffed softly, raising an eyebrow at him.

Ghostbur couldn't help but frown as he watched Friend and Fella trot off together, his gaze returning to Ghostity soon after. He seemed intrigued, and strangely excited in comparison to how he was while alive, as he genuinely smiled. "Oh, red! Tommy gave me some once but I think I accidentally put it in the wrong chest. Thank you, though!" Ghostbur gently said, gratefully taking the red that was offered to him. He was... Innocent like this; not traumatized with the troubles of the wars he went through, or the banishment he endured, or any of the events following in the years after. Ghostbur swiftly held his hand out, offering Ghostity some blue. "I know you said it's dumb... But I'd appreciate it if you took some blue in return as a small thanks."

Ghostity rolled his eyes and softly pushed Ghostbur's hand away, scoffing softly. "Don't want it. I only need red." He spoke bitterly, a bit of the substance leaking from his mouth and a slice on his throat where he'd been killed. "Fella, come on, don't leave me with him!" He called out to the sheep, but the two were already gone, so he sighed and groaned. "Why me...why meee..." He groaned out softly before looking at Wilbur, shaking his head and wandering off quietly as he collected the red in his hands. He didn't know why he leaked colors, but he also couldn't give less of a shit. It made situations funny, especially when people were dumb enough to consume the red he had given them. It made people extremely angry, and it made him fucking *cackle* with laughter when he watched the people involved end up fighting.

Ghostbur blinked, looking down at the blue he held before up at Ghostity, a confused expression on his face as he watched the other wander off. Not wanting to be left behind, he followed after him, "You really don't like blue that much?" He asked quietly and curiously, eyeing him with eyes that pricked with the same blue he held, making it seem like he was on the verge of tears despite not being sad enough to cry. Ghostbur silently got to thinking, wondering how he could get Ghostity to accept his gift as he fiddled with the red and blue. Wait, if he mixed them, would Ghostity accept it then? He decided it wouldn't hurt to try, sloppily mixing the two together to make a purple substance, holding it out to the other after doing so. "Have some... Purple?..." Ghostbur offered, hesitance laced in his voice as he spoke.

He looked back at Ghostbur before sighing and rolling his eyes, golden fluid beginning to leak from his fingertips as he reached out and wiped them on Ghostbur's hands. The fluids mixed together slowly before making a sparkly purple substance, making Ghostity grin as he took the slowly-hardening substance and held it. "Hmm...I could make more of this...make a monopoly on purple." He let out a chuckle as more gold leaked from him, unbeknownst to him until Fella ran up to knock the substance out of Ghostity's hands. The ghostly hybrid's eyes widened softly before he let out a soft sigh, looking down at Fella. "Sorry, bud, I got a bit carried away..." He mumbled as he knelt down on the ground, holding Fella's head as the sheep bleated in annoyance. It was as if the sheep was scolding Ghostity, and he scowled playfully before groaning softly, sighing. "I know, I know, Fella, I can't help it!" He huffed before getting headbutted, falling back a bit as he huffed. "OI! What gives?!"

Ghostbur stayed where he was while Friend followed after Fella, the blue sheep determined to stick close to his buddy and not get separated from him. He trotted over to Ghostbur, the ghost gently picking him up and holding him like the sheep were a plush, both of them silently watching Fella and Quackity interact together. Those two were a clean-cut contrast to how heavily domesticated the two blue dwellers were around one another, them both finding it a little amusing how a sheep was scolding Ghostity. Ghosbur seemed happy to have successfully given the fellow ghost a gift, however, smiling a touch as he kept silently watching. He didn't want to interrupt, after all.

Ghostity glared at the sheep, who returned his glare in kind until the hybrid sighed and pulled some wheat from...wherever the hell he keeps his items, Fella seeming to roll his eyes before taking the wheat from Ghostity, then headbutting him once again. It seemed to be a signal of sorts, and Ghostity sighed before laying back in the air, the sheep climbing on top of him and becoming a loaf of red wool. It seemed to calm Ghostity down slowly, red and gold no longer leaking from him as Fella looked over towards Friend. There was a moment of pause, and then Fella let out an expectant bleat towards the fellow sheep, as if expecting the four of them to cuddle together or something. It made Ghostity groan, in any case.

Ghostbur looked from Friend, then to Fella, then to Ghostity, and back to Friend. The sheep stared up at him hopefully, earning a soft smile from the ghost. He cautiously floated over as he hung onto Friend, flopping onto his back once he got close to the other two, ever so lightly inching closer. He tried to keep a fair distance between him and Ghostity, but let Friend and Fella snuggle up to one another, doing his best to respect everybody's preferences as he didn't want either two upset or one angry ghost. "Fella missed you, you should try to visit him more often." Ghostbur murmured after a moment, attempting to strike up a casual conversation as he ruffled the wool of both sheep gently.

The hybrid ghost seemed to roll his eyes a bit as he picked a bit of something out of his teeth idly, mimicking motions he did when he was alive. "I thought you couldn't speak sheep, Ghostbur." He spoke in clear annoyance, although it was pretty interesting that he got a response at all, let alone one of his snarky jokes. Most of the time he'd just ignore Ghostbur's attempts to strike up conversation, maybe that was progress? It certainly seemed so, and he sighed softly as he looked at the contrasting colors of the sheep. The colors reminded him of when he and Wilbur were both still alive, and he sighed as he remembered something. When he and Wilbur had fought. It made red start to leak from him again, and Fella had to lick it off in order to make Ghostity snap out of it.

"Oh, I still can't, it'd be cool if I could. Still, no I can't, but uhm... Fella seemed kinda blue to me without you around. He seems much more yellow now that he's with you though, which is good! Even more so with Friend at his side, too!" Ghostbur quickly responded, smiling happily upon getting something as basic as a response from Ghostity. He tried so often to have a casual conversation with him, so he was overjoyed by the fact he was able to even get a sarcastic sentence in return. If anything, his day was just made by that little fact. Ghostbur continued to ruffle the wool of both sheep, grinning from ear to ear at this point. If a smile could be infectious, it was probably the purely innocent one he had at that very moment as he positively beamed with joy.

He scoffed softly before stuffing his hand under his head to serve as a pillow of sorts, even if he's floating in the air casually. "I doubt that ornery shit actually missed me, but..." He glanced at the red-colored sheep before sighing and whispering something to Fella, the small sheep's tail wiggling in seeming happiness from whatever Ghostity had told him. Ghostity then sat up and looked over at Ghostbur, seeming to think for a moment before scooting over to sling an arm around Ghostbur.

Ghostbur paused, softly blinking as he half-stared at Ghostity. His expression didn't change in the slightest for a few moments, sheer surprise consuming his thoughts during that time. Eventually, his face lit up brighter than a lightbulb-filled Christmas tree on Christmas morning, and, without a single shred of hesitation, quickly snuggled closer to Ghostity. "...Did Phil bribe you to do this? Is that why you've been acting weirdly?" He questioned curiously, that being the only logical reason he could conclude as to why the fellow ghost was being so friendly towards him. First, getting a proper conversation, and now getting snuggles; however, he wasn't complaining about either whatsoever. If anything, he might have to thank Phil later if his theory proved to be correct.

"Don't make me change my mind, fucker..." He grumbled as he buried his face into Ghostbur's sweater, letting out a soft sigh as he slowly relaxed. He seemed extremely relaxed at this point, sighing as he put his arms further over Ghostbur, closing his eyes with a soft sigh. He seemed oddly happy at this point, smiling into the sweater while hoping he didn't pull away since he didn't want Ghostbur to see his smile.

"So Phil didn't bribe you?" Ghostbur rhetorically asked, once again seeming surprised. Though, he didn't comment any further on the subject, respecting Ghostity's indirect wishes to not talk about it. Ghostbur rested peacefully where he floated in the air, softly closing his eyes as he hummed out a quiet tune and enjoyed the peaceful moment without a single trace of that sad blue he typically had to be found anywhere.

The only response he got was a soft huff as he closed his eyes, his arms resting comfortably around the other spirit. The feeling of hugging him, staying as close to him as possible, brought back memories. Memories of holding Wilbur close and laughing together, staring at the lifeless corpse in front of him seconds after Philza had left it behind, it made him begin to shake softly. His body wasn't used to making blue, but he moved slightly before coughing up some of the deep blue substance, the same welling up in his eyes like tears.

Ghostbur shuddered almost immediately following the other's cough, almost as if he had a brief physical reaction to another ghost making blue. However, he didn't know that fact and eyed him worriedly, growing concerned for Ghostity out of fear he might have randomly grown ill or something else. "Are you alright?" He asked trepidly and gently, hoping to continue to get responses from Ghostity as he had been.

He covered his mouth for a moment, then looked down at the blue on his hand. It seemed to surprise him, and he looked up at Ghostbur with a softly confused look, letting out a soft whine. "W-why am I making blue? What'd you do to me?!" He snapped at him as he gritted his teeth, purple slowly being made since red began to leak from his mouth as well. "Fuck off, this is your fault!" He snapped before standing up, running off as Fella looked up, startled by Ghostity's sudden movements.

Ghostbur was confused to say the least, watching Ghostity run off with a saddened, pained expression. He hadn't the slightest clue how coughing up blue was 'his fault', but he did know that he was starting to drip with blue himself, tear-like blue pricking his eyes and seeping out from the gash on his chest. He looked at the sheep as if asking them for advice as to what he should do and, as expected, got nothing in response. Ghostbur let out a sigh before following after where Ghostity had went off to, hesitation painted clearly in his stride. He wanted answers, so he was going to attempt to get them, even with his newfound pained sadness.

Ghostity continued to cough up blue and red, covering his mouth as blue leaked from his eyes. The lmanberg explosion, Wilbur’s death, his own death, everything was screaming at him. It hurt, it hurt so bad.

Ghostbur slowly and warily placed a hand on the fellow ghost's shoulder in an attempt to gain a little of his attention. "Are you okay...?" He asked again, repeating the same question from before with a bit more worry in his voice. That was his first priority; making sure Ghostity was okay. "...And what did you mean by "it's all your fault"? Did I do something wrong?... I don't understand that..." Ghostbur mumbled quietly, his brows knitting together as blue trailed sloppily down his cheeks, remorseful over the fact he could piece together the puzzle pieces himself.

Ghostity coughed softly, gripping his arms tightly as more purple was made and dripped down his chin. God it hurt, everything hurt, he couldn't handle it. He squeezed his eyes shut and let out a soft choked noise, squeezing his eyes shut as he took a sharp breath. "F-fuCK-" He covered his mouth as he coughed harshly, more blue leaking from him as he collapsed a bit. He then took a soft breath, a small puddle of the substances on the ground beneath him as he slowly caught his breath. "Ow ow ow..."

Ghostbur moved his hand from the shoulder it rested on to softly rub at the other's back, entirely blue eyes watching him with worry. Of course, the blue continued to trail down his cheeks, upset by the fact that Ghostity was in pain. "The more you let yourself think, the worse it gets y'know..." He muttered out quietly and sadly, still gently rubbing his back to try and console him. "Friend helps me with blue episodes... Do you want me to get Fella for you?..."

"N-no, he doesn't need to see me like this..." He mumbled out, coughing softly before trying to block the thoughts from his mind. Karl had taught him something, long ago. In and out, slow and steady, listen to the stream fall...his eyes continued to leak with tears, but they slowly disappeared as Ghostity took a soft, slow breath. "Hhhh...get out of here, you'll probably be happy for the goddamn blackmail..." He mumbled out, still trying to be angry to cover up his emotions.

"Happy for the blackmail...?" Ghostbur repeated as he raised a brow, confusion painting itself on his already worried and sorrowful expression. As expected of the amnesiac ghost, he didn't understand why he would 'probably be happy for the blackmail'; after all, he had no reason to need such a thing. "Why would I be happy for it? And what would even be the blackmail?... You're kinda confusing, Ghostity..." He murmured, pulling his hand away from his back to nervously fiddle with the sleeves of his golden-yellow sweater.

"Of course you don't! You lost your memories when you died, and I fucking ENVY you for it!" He whirled on him as red began to pour from him. His eyes, the wound on his neck, his hands, he just seems to turn red. "*I* have to remember everything bad I did, *I* have to remember all the times we fought, *I* HAVE TO REMEMBER WHEN I LOST YOU AND EVERYTHING I CARED ABOUT!" The ground seemed to shake with his voice as he shook in anger and sadness, taking a soft breath. "I lost EVERYTHING, and I have to REMEMBER that! What I wouldn't give to be in blissful ignorance....hhhh...." He dropped a bit as he sighed out, sniffling and holding his own cheek. "I can't handle this, Ghostbur...I just can't..."

In contrast to the red Ghostity was, Ghostbur only further turned blue, letting it deepen in colour as he backed away hesitantly and fearfully. He didn't notice when Friend left Fella's side and came up to him, or when he picked the sheep up and tightly held onto him for emotional support, or even when his blue bordered dangerously to the colour black; the colour of hatred, and of heartbreak. However, Ghostbur was quick to realize his own emotional distraught over the horrible sense of deja-vu he felt. "I'm sorry I forgot everything..." He swiftly apologized, allowing himself to silently cry, which was something Wilbur never let Quackity see back when they were alive. "I'm trying my best to remember, I really am, but you make it sound like what I'm going through is easy..."

He took a soft breath as Fella walked over and headbutted Ghostity to distract him, the ghost taking a shaky breath as he squeezed his eyes shut. "Wilbur, you don't know how much I fucking lost it when you died. It felt like a part of me died with you. Even Karl and Sapnap couldn't help bring me out of it." He mumbled out before looking up at him with a soft sniffle, sighing out. "I just..." He started before squeezing his eyes shut roughly, trying to repress both colors. "Fuck..."

Ghostbur continued to sadly cling to Friend, floating in the air with the sheep as he attempted to piece together the puzzle laid before him. He knew he did something to cause his own death, but he didn't know as to what had happened, and Ghostity clearly was close to him before that, enough to be distraught over his death. God, if only he could remember, but his memory was ever so slightly out of his reach. Ghostbur wiped at his eyes to free them of his blue tears, his sleeve now stained with the colour. "I'm sorry, again... Who-" He hesitated, pausing a moment as he glanced away. "Who was I to you?... I seemed to be important; a good friend, maybe? I don't- I don't know..."

Fella bleated at Ghostity as if to encourage him, and he looked up at him before sighing out. "We were pining, I guess. Karl and Sapnap were my fiancés. I always had some sort of feeling for you, whether it was hatred, or love, or affection...I don't know..." He mumbled out before Fella huffed and headbutted him again, making the hybrid huff at him before continuing. "You were special to me..." He whispered softly as he sighed out, then hugged himself. "I'm just a dumb duck."

"Ah..." Ghostbur murmured as he carefully took into account the information he was told. It made sense now that he thought about it, and it properly explained why Ghostity got upset or tried to shove him away whenever he paid a visit. He gently squeezed Friend while he thought, burying his face in the sheep's wool for a few moments before gently setting him down, moving over to the fellow ghost soon after. Though, instead of saying anything else or cooing out comforting words like he was tempted to, Ghostbur simply pulled him into a hug, silently hoping he wouldn't be pushed away like he tended to be.

Ghostity's eyes widened before he hugged back tightly, blue leaking from his eyes as he sniffled softly. "I don't want to lose you again, that's why I pushed you away so much...if I didn't get close, maybe it'd hurt less..." He whispered before sighing out with a soft shudder. "I'm so sorry." He mumbled out as Fella went up to Friend and gently headbutted him with a soft bleat, Ghostity quietly putting a hand on the back of Ghostbur's head to keep him close.

Ghostbur softly hummed, staying perfectly in place as he gently nuzzled at Ghostity and hugged him ever tighter. "It's okay, it's fine, you don't have to apologize to me. I won't be going anywhere; I'm kinda dead and over with the whole living thing, remember?" He gently reminded with a small laugh, nuzzling him once more and hesitating for a second, placing a light kiss to his cheek after thinking the action through. "I do wish you could have told me earlier, though. We could have resolved it earlier..."

He sighed at the words, then tensed a bit at the kiss to his cheek. He wasn't expecting that, and his red flushed to a light pink, he was getting flustered as he swallowed slowly. "...Oh." He mumbled out as he looked away, covering his face and quietly squealing. "Aaaaaaaa-" He sounded flustered now, quietly trying to hide himself into Ghostbur as he shifted softly. "Damn it, nooo-" He whined playfully, huffing to himself as his ghostly wings fluffed out aggressively. They only appeared during times of great distress.

Ghostbur lightheartedly chuckled, smiling happily with the reaction he was witnessing as he affectionately nuzzled at him once more. "What do you mean 'nooo'? I thought you told me we were pinning for each other while we were alive!" He claimed in playful defence with another happy chuckle, plopping onto his back in the air as he continued to hold onto Ghostity, shifting so that he could cuddle him. "Plus! You seem to have enjoyed it!"

Ghostity stuck his tongue out and blew a raspberry at him, then huffed and grabbed his face. His cheeks were flushed a decisive red, and he seemed to be trying to work up the courage to do something. It took him a fat second, but he finally pulled Ghostbur into a kiss as he flushed ever harder, if that was even possible. It almost looked like he was angry again, but he clearly wasn't, he was just too flustered to exist right now. He then let go of him and covered his face, Fella seeming to smirk as he looked at Friend.

If there was one thing Ghostbur had never expected to get from Ghostity, it would be a kiss. He stayed there, wide-eyed from mild shock as he eyed the fellow ghost for a few moments. "Whoa there, never thought you'd do that. Not that I'm complaining," Ghostbur hummed out, smiling from ear to ear as a hue of red tinted his own face. Friend was quick to bleat happily and wag his little stub of a tail before gently rubbing his head against Fella as if nuzzling him.

His eyes glimmered with embarrassment as he tried not to make tappy fingers, quietly shifting as he stuck his tongue out softly. "Right...sorry." He mumbled softly, shifting gently as he crossed his arms tightly. He seemed to be trying his best to close in on himself, since he hadn't kissed anyone since the last time Karl and Sapnap had gone on a date with him. That just made him sad again, but he shook his head aggressively to chase away his thoughts as Fella happily rubbed his head on Friend's as well.

Ghostbur only smiled further, cupping Ghostity's face with both of his hands. "Again, it's a-okay, there's no need to apologize. Especially not to me," He softly stated as he softly chuckled, rubbing his cheeks gently for a few moments before peppering him with kisses. "You're allowed to steal as many kisses from me as you so wish, I don't mind. Aaaaas long as I can do the same in return, of course. Gotta make it fair after all."

He flushed and let out a soft chirp as he put his hands over Ghostbur's, looking away sheepishly as he shifted softly. "You're dumb..." He mumbled softly, being his usual tsundere self as he tapped his fingers on Ghostbur's. It made him extremely flustered, all this attention, especially when he's usually feared and hated by people. Most of the time, they tried to snap his neck, but it was weird to him that Ghostbur wasn't yelling.

"Iiiiif you say so, then okay! I guess that makes me your idiot though, so good luck dealing with my supposed dumbness." Ghostbur jabbed as a playful joke, kissing the end of the ghost's nose before grinning, wholeheartedly happy in that very moment. It felt natural, as if he had been doing this for years on end, and he was perfectly content as to not knowing exactly why it felt so natural either for once.

Ghostity seemed extremely excited as he grinned at him, then rolled over with Ghostbur beneath him as he purred happily. He liked cuddling like this, Fella giving him a smirk, which made him roll his eyes and flip Fella off quietly. The sheep seemed proud of himself, trotting off after nuzzling Friend. Seems the four of them were having fun.

Ghostbur nuzzled at the other, staying true to his overly affectionate and innocent amnesiac ghost character, humming out the soft tune of one of his songs. Specifically "I'm In Love With An E-Girl", as it was his most popular lovey-dovey song and he felt a love song was perfect for the moment. Sure, the song selection could be better, but he was happy nonetheless. Friend quickly followed after Fella after bleating happily once more towards the two ghosts.

Ghostity stayed close to Ghostbur peacefully, closing his eyes and humming along with him as he ran his fingers through the other's fluffy locks. "You know, you're really affectionate. It's cute." He spoke out, lightly jabbing at him since he never truly spoke his mind. It was just how he was, indirect until he felt he needed to be direct with someone.

Ghostbur softly nodded as he smiled, kissing Ghostity's cheek as he wrapped his arms around him. "Thank you, I'm utterly adorable, aren't I?" He shot back with a wink as he laughed and shook his head lightly. "You should see yourself right now though. You're so loooovelyyyy," Ghostbur stated in sheer adulation.

"Shut uuuupppp-" Ghostity pushed Ghostbur's face away as he flushed softly, huffing softly as he shook his head. He just wanted to cuddle with him, but Ghostbur kept flirting with him and he couldn't help but get flustered. "Seriously, shut. You're too cute." He huffed softly at him as he stuck his tongue out softly, blowing another raspberry at him.

Ghostbur laughed, blowing him a few playful air kisses with another wink. "I've been called a loverboy by many for a reason, you know. C'monnn, you know you love me and adore all the affection, so don't you daaare push me away!" He chirped out, pulling Ghostity closer to him as he grinned from ear to ear.

"Aaaaa-" His voice shifted pitches slightly before he glared at him playfully, sticking his tongue out still. However, he quietly placed his face into his shoulder as he lightly smacked his chest where he knew he wouldn't be hitting the wound. "You're so dumbbbbbbb, hmph. You're lucky I love you, you know that?" He huffed out as he looked up at him.

Ghostbur let out a jokingly surprised gasp, his brows shooting up as he paused for dramatic effect before pulling him into a quick kiss. "Awwwww, Q told me he loved me for the first time- that I can remember at least- how adorableeee~" He cooed out with a chuckle, "I love you too, ducky."
