Ok, so I want it to be know right now that there is no weird Spooky Casper shipping in this. I doubt any one would think that, but I'm very paranoid that somebody might think I'm trying to imply that Spooky has a crush on him or something. I swear to god that's not the case, It'll make sense in part two I promise. Ok? We good now? Alright, proceed. XD
Oh, also, this was heavily inspired by "ulecelecs-fanfiction" "Fake Love" fic, which I read often XD It's so, so good XD
"Class, we have a temporary exchange student. Meet Spooky." Mrs Hopper introduced the young ghost, who had a black scar on his nose and very dark grey freckles. He also dressed like it was the roaring 20s, which got him quite a few confused looks.
Casper stared with concern as the teacher introduced the student. He then quietly opened up his text book and tried to look busy reading, while also hiding his face with it.
Matha and Ra looked at each other confused. They back and forth between Casper and Spooky. There was quite the resemblance. She leaned over and whispered to Casper;
"Do you know him?"
Before he could answer, two hands slammed on his desk, he cringed and slowly looked up to see Spooky smirking down at him.
"What's buzzin cousin?" Spooky asked with a slightly evil smile.
Mantha had never heard such a thick New York accent, it was like something out of a cartoon. (haha)
"Hi Spooky…It's been awhile." The friendly ghost gave a fake smiled. "Not long enough…" he thought to himself.
"Do you two already know each other?" Mrs Hopper raised a brow.
"Yeah, we're cousins." Spooky smiled back at the lady.
Some whispers were exchanged in the back of the class.
"Oh, well that certainly explains why you two look so much alike." She added.
The two ghosts visibly cringed at the comment.
"Well, any who, Spooky take your seat. Class, pull out your text books." Mrs Hopper opened a book in front of her.
Ra leaned over to Mantha and whispered "Is it just me, or do those two seem like they hate each other?"
"Yeah, I'm getting that vibe too. Casper looks really not ok." She responded.
Mrs Hopper started reading, forcing the two to be quiet. They'd have to find out after class.
After class Ra and Mantha ran out into the hall, looking for their friend, but Casper seemed to have vanished. Or at least that's what they had thought, until they turned around the ghost was standing right there. Ra yelped and Mantha jumped back a little.
"Sorry guys, I was waiting for my Spooky to leave."
"I take it you two don't get along…" Mantha
Casper sighed. "No, not really. He makes Thatch look like a kitten, and I'm talking about the past Thatch, not the current one."
"Aren't they the same one?" Matha snickered.
Casper gave her a slight glare, though with a smile. He knew she just joking, and he also knew Thatch would likely take it as a compliment.
"Is he really that bad?" Ra raised a brow.
"One time when we were about 10, he wanted to play baseball and I said no because I was going to a birthday party. He spent the rest of the day trying to break my friendship with Wendy, and ruin her party." The ghost looked off to the side with annoyance.
Ra; "Oof."
Casper; "Indeed."
It was lunch now, and disappointingly, Spooky sat at Casper's table, across from Casper and Mantha, next to Ra. Mantha and Ra gave each other a concerned look, their friend had made it more than clear that he didn't like his cousin very much.
"So, I saw you getting kind of cozy with that grey vampire in the hallway, what was that about?" Spooky asked with a faint smirk, and a mean twinkle in his eye.
The smugness in Spookys voice made Casper feel a little defensive.
"Yes, well, he's my boyfriend." The ghost stated quietly, he really didn't want to get into a conversation with his cousin.
"Oh? Always figured you swung that way, you never were very manly." Spooky.
Mantha was about to snap something at him, but Casper gave her leg a light kick under the table. She settled back down, though now she was glaring at the scar nosed phantom.
Ra was also glaring. "Yo, don't be rude."
"I'm just stating the truth, he's a pansy." Spooky shrugged, still smirking.
It took all of Mantha's and Ra's self-discipline not to try and punch the brat.
"Just so you know, I'm pan, so I "swing" both ways, if you must know." Casper scowled, unintentionally freezing his drink. Spooky really wared on his nerves.
"Whatever." Spooky rolled his eyes. "So, are you gonna introduce me to your pals, or do I gotta guess?" He chuckled.
"I'm Ra, a sandshifter mummy." Ra responded dryly.
"I'm Mantha." The zombie girl responded equally as dryly.
"You're a zombie, right?" The derby hat ghost asked.
"Yeah…You got a problem with that?" She raised a brow with a glare.
"I just find that a little surprising.
"And why is that?" She hissed, knowing exactly where this was going.
"Well, this is known as a prestigus school, and I wouldn't expect them to accept zombies."
"Really?! You're going to go this route?!" She snapped.
"It's not my fault if you zombies are slow, weak, dumb, an-" Spooky was very abruptly interrupted as his plate was shoved into his face, and by Casper no less, who's eyes were several shades of pissed off blue, with an equally pissed off smile.
Before anyone could react, Casper leapt through the table and pushed his confused cousin down, and through the floor, leaving the whole cafeteria very confused. It had all happened so fast, Mantha was pretty sure they didn't even see what just went down.
Thatch slid to a halt next to their table.
"Did…did Casper just tackle his cousin into the floor?"
"Yeah…" Mantha muttered as she stared at the floor.
"And he also shoved a plate of food into his face too." Ra added quietly, also staring at the floor.
"Huh, so that's what that noise was." Thatch responded matter-of-factly
Spooky found himself shoved up against a wall in the basement, a very pissed off Casper staring at him. Casper griped the collar of his cousin's shirt, ice slowly crawling across the fabric.
"Make fun of me all you like, but don't you dare insult of my friends…" He stated coldly.
"Well someone's mad, for a change."
"I've had to deal with you for a long time, and no matter how much I try to be nice to you, you do nothing but be a jerk! I'm done! You've officially used up all my forgiveness!"
"GOOD!" Spooky snapped back angrily, and then punched his cousin in the face.
Casper stumbled back, his cousin took the chance to punch him in the stomach, and then kick him across the room, the friendly ghost sliding on his back across the floor.
Spooky smirked until a grey fist suddenly punched him in the side of his face. He held his face and stepped back, but was grabbed and picked up by the collar, where he locked eyes with a very pissed off vampire. Spooky was a little bit taller than Casper, but Thatch was a good head taller than the both of them.
"Gonna let your boyfriend fight your battles for you, Casper?" Spooky taunted with a smirk.
Thatch hissed and reared back for another punch, but Spooky disappeared.
The vampire grunted as something hit him in the gut, then the chin. The black nosed ghost snickered as he invisibly kept hitting the poor vampire.
Thatch got thrown into a wall, hard. Spooky appeared again, smirking. Suddenly he yelped as a red creature tackled him to the ground.
The creature had red fur, a long forked tail, and goat like horns. Its face was like a mix between a goat and a cat. It laughed like a hyena mixed with an elk, and it had an evil smile of sharp teeth. It's hoof like claws scraped the floor next to Spookys head, leaving marks on the tile. It's dark blue eyes had an awful twinkle to them.
"DEVIL!" Spooky screamed and flew off through a wall, not coming back.
The creatures smile turned into a frown, and its fur shifted from shades of red, to white with light blue markings. His eyes taking of a softer shade of blue. The creature turned to Thatch and crawled over to him, before sitting down next to him and turning back into Casper.
"Remind me to never piss you off." The vampire joked, rubbing his hurt jaw.
"I'm sorry about him…" Casper frowned guiltily.
"Don't apologize for him, he doesn't deserve that."
the ghost hugged the other affectionately. "Still, I'm sorry you got hurt…" he leaned on the others shoulder.
"Man, I see why you hate him so much. I heard him talking to you at lunch, the only reason I didn't smash a plate over his head then and there was because he's your cousin." He leaned onto the smaller one.
"Thank you for not hitting him with a plate." Casper chuckled. "But it seems I might be the one who needs to cool their temper…"
"He deserved it."
Suddenly there was a bizarre stumbling noise, and Ra and Mantha came falling down the stairs, Matha's head rolling across the floor and landing a few feet away from Casper and Thatch.
"Took you two long enough." Thatch snarked with a chuckle.
"Some of us can't turn into bats and fly!" Mantha snapped.
It was gym now, and sadly, Spooky was there too. Casper had sort of hoped he would have been too scared to come back, but unfortunately, no.
Franken gym teacher had the kids line up in front of him, Casper didn't like this, as now Spooky was somewhere behind him. Things never went well when he lost sight of his cousin.
"OK, I NEED A VOLETEER TO CLEAN THE LOCKER ROOM! AND IF NO ONE RAISES A HAND, I'LL CHOOSE AT RANDOM!" The teacher instructed.
Casper yelped as somebody pulled his hair hard.
"ALRIGHT CASPER, SINCE IT BOTHERS YOU SO MUCH, YOU'RE ON LOCKER ROOM CLEANING DUTY!" Frank snapped.
Casper turned and glared at the person behind him, which was unsurprisingly Spooky, who was pretending to look innocent.
Casper was currently washing some lockers near the front of the room, Mantha was mopping the middle of room, Ra was washing some middle lockers, and Thatch was mopping the back of the room. (What kind of boyfriend would he be if he didn't come to help? XD)
The door swung open and everybody turned to see a smirking Spooky. They all glared, Casper trying to ignore him and continue cleaning.
"I see your boyfriend has decided to help you, is he friendly too?" The bully snickered.
"Yeah, I am here. And I'm gonna shove you into the most disgusting locker I can find, if you don't get the hell outta here!" The vampire snapped, ending with a threating hiss.
"Oh, like you did in the basement? You can't fight what you can't hit, bat-brain!" Spooky snapped right back.
Ra took this moment to step in-between the two, mainly because Thatch looked like he was gonna try. Casper on the other hand was pretty sure he felt something in his head snap.
"Spooky, I was going to volunteer anyways." The young ghost muttered.
Casper then started smiling, his eyes turning into unsettlingly shades of blue, with a devious sparkle in them.
"Oh, and another thing-" His voice unsettlingly sweet. "Don't pull my hair, I have a boyfriend for that."
The shocked silence that fell over the room was immediate. He could feel people processing his statement, doubting they heard it correctly and having to rerun it back in their heads. Casper couldn't see what was happening behind him, but he heard a mop hitting the floor, likely Mantha's. Then he was pretty sure he heard Ra mutter "damn." under his breath. And finally, he heard a very proud wolf whistle from Thatch, followed by the vampire's laughter.
Spooky's mouth was practically on the floor and his eyes were wide.
"Y-you-H-how- w-why – you c-cant, uhhh-" He stuttered. "f-fuck you!" he snapped with a stutter and turned heel, leaving the room.
Casper whipped around with a blush on his face. "Not a single word from any of you!" he snapped, sounding frazzled.
"C-Casper!" Mantha was speechless, she had never heard him make an innuendo before.
"I said no words!"
"Damn, I didn't think you were kinky like that…" Ra coughed with a laugh.
"I just wanted to annoy him!" The ghost snapped.
"You're not denying it…" Ra snickered.
"Shut up!" Caspers blush got worse.
"Thatch, anything you want to add?" Ra turned to the vampire at the back of the room.
Thatch wanted to say something, but he was too busy laughing. He had slid down a locker and now was sitting on the floor cry laughing. Between what Casper said and the aftermath of it, he was just dying.
"You say anything, and I won't kiss you for a month!" the flustered ghost snapped.
"AWW, BUT-" Thatch laughed and made a distraught hand movement. He wanted to make a smart comment so badly.
Mantha finally seemed to snap out of her daze. "Casper, I can't believe you said that." She laughed.
Casper pulled the neck of his sweater over his face and groaned in annoyance and embarrassment.
Suddenly they heard the bell, it was time for science class.
"You two get going, I'll put the brooms and stuff away." Thatch chuckled, still calming down from his laughing fit. He turned his attention to the ghost in the room, chuckling some more. "I can't believe you said that. God, I love you." He smiled gleefully.
"Don't pull out all his hair." Ra joked as he and Mantha started to leave.
Casper made a very loud muffled groan from inside his sweater.
"I'll buy him hair strengthen." Thatch smirked.
Casper groaned louder.
The rest of Spookys visit consisted of Casper using his relationship with Thatch to annoy the hell out of him. Snuggling, and flirting, and kissing his boyfriend whenever Spooky showed up to a room. Basically, being as lovey dovey as he could. Casper had meant what he said in the basement, he was done trying to play nice with his cousin. And his slight revenge was working, Spooky would get uncomfortable and leave the room.
One day, he encountered his cousin outside, he had been sitting at a bench. Sadly, Thatch wasn't around this time. Spooky had walked over to him with his devious smirk. Casper mentally prepared himself.
"You know, I could always tell our uncles about you and bat boy." Spooky smirked evilly.
Casper raised a brow in confusion. "They already know. It's not a secret..."
"…What?" Spooky looked very confused. "Your lying. They wouldn't let you date a-"
"A what?" Casper got defensive and stood up, glaring his cousin in the eyes.
"You're telling me they let you date a guy?" Spooky looked so shocked at the concept.
"Yes, they do! And even if they had issues with it, I'd do it anyways! I love who I love, and no one can stop that." Casper snapped defensively.
Spooky looked confused and shocked…and a little embarrassed. He was about to say something, but stopped when Thatch wrapped an arm around Casper and started glaring at the black nosed ghost. Casper leaned onto Thatch and glared at his cousin. With the couple glaring at him, he got rather intimidated and left.
Casper wasn't sure if Spooky was actually homophobic, or just doing it specifically towards him. He was betting on the ladder. But it didn't matter, Spooky was being a pain in the neck, and would be taught a lesson for it.
Casper didn't even say goodbye, he just stood in a corner of the docks with Thatch and made out, while his cousin boarded the boat and left. Casper had caught a glimpse of Spooky looking over at them, he looked sad, and almost…jealous.
Casper suddenly felt very guilty.
I made this entire fic just for the locker room scene. XD What my brain comes up with at midnight is both a blessing and a curse. XD
