Halloween Spirits

As the last rushing rays of sun left the horizon and the quick autumn darkness fell upon the ground. The biggest and oldest graveyard of Wresure town (commonly called Red Line because of strange phenomenon - a long path of ground right in the middle of the graveyard was filled with clay making it hard to bury people, thus left untouched) was waking up for its year-long slumber.

You see, every year, once October 31st rolls around up until the dawn of November 2nd, the souls of the people buried in the graves come down from heavens to remember those who are still alive and to commune between themselves as heavens really aren't a place you could speak or even exist as a person…

\[*-*]/\[*-*]/\[*-*]/

Just as the light left the graveyard in darkness the candle burning on the grave flickered in blue and a bluish form of young adult appeared from it. He had short hair and a lean figure, the shade of blue on his hair could indicate his hair was dark. He stretched and yawned, hopping from the ground into air and staying there in cross legged position. He looked around and smiled as he saw souls like him popping from the candles, some sleepy, some energetic. Looking at the grave to his right he raised an eyebrow at the old man there.

"What's up Torao? Feeling down?"

The old man looked up from where he was still sitting on his grave stone and looked around. "Oh, no, not all-" his appearance started to morph into one of a man in his mid-twenties. "-I just felt really old for a second."

"Pfft, yea, I noticed, what's new?"

Torao (commonly known as Law) glared at the younger soul. "What do you think? Nothing, nothing is new, Heaven is still completely mindless, good thing I don't feel anything there or I would have died again from sheer boredom there."

Luffy laughed. "Don't be a drama queen, I found this nice place to float in, for some reason it peaks into the cosmos and the part in shows changes every so often, so it never gets boring to look at."

Law looks at the soul next to him with interest. "Really? That seems hundred times better than anything I ever seen there before, I really will have concentrate really hard to find your presence before we fade away, it worked last time."

"Yea, that sounds fine, I will try to push my presence forward then, so it would be easier to find me."

The older soul smiles a slightly crooked grin. "Deal."

"So who came to visit you already?" Asks Luffy with interest looking at the red candle jar.

Sadness flashes through Law's face as he sighs. "This one if from my parents, I'm surprised both of them are still around. They're seventy already and I died near fifty, how's that fair?"

A small, sad laugh came from the other's mouth. "I know, right? Both my brothers are still alive, both in their mid-fifties, they look so weird…"

"My sister with her family is coming sometime tomorrow and she will come tomorrow evening as she always does…"

Both males got a sad look on their faces, their forms hovering near each other giving comfort with their close presence. "She's so mature now…" Luffy sighed.

"Yea, our big girl."

"She was so cute when we adopted her…"

"Yea, she would run around wild and do these crazy experiments, for which ideas she would get from you."

Law huffed. "But she always over did them, remember the huge vinegar and soda explosion?"

"She spent her whole month's allowance to buy vinegar, the little genius."

"I'm so proud of her…"

Luffy put his arm around Law's shoulders glad that their soul forms could interact. "Me too, me too."

Mournful silence fell between them as they gazed at their gravestones. Law Trafalgar and Luffy Trafalgar… Because church didn't exactly accept same sex marriage the two of them couldn't get buried in the same grave, but next to each other instead. It was sad at times because that was the reason they couldn't float around in heaven next to each other unless they put a lot of effort, but they wouldn't change the reason for it to the world…

Pushing off his sad thoughts Luffy looked around. "Old Jenkins seems to still be around, let's go talk with him, he didn't finish his story from last year."

Law looked at grave few rows ahead. "He's still around? I thought his children moved away?"

"They probably came back to visit his grave and lit a candle."

"Alright, let's go, the story was pretty interesting."

Luffy grinned and dragged the other soul with him to the much older soul. "Hey, Old man Jenkins! I remember you owe me a story!..."

Pulling his husband with him and leaving the two polished gravestones with a small writing underneath them.

'Tragically taken from us on 31st of October 2019'

A.N. So I actually don't know if church actually doesn't let people from the same sex marriage to get buried together, but I just wrote it like this for the sake of my tiny plot and to make it sadder, don't take my words for granted…

On another note – happy Halloween everybody! I don't celebrate it, but it seems like a nice holiday, so I hope everyone is having great time ^-^.

P.S. I updated my profile a bit, if you want to know how my writing will go in the future :}.
