Alright I just wrote another chapter for Ayla and Shouto and I thought oh no this is way to angsty and so I decided to write something more light-hearted and fun, like daily interactions and stuff. So here you go.

A slight warning, Ayla is a very, very angsty character. She was originally someone from an original novel (Esmeray) that I am working on which is categorized as horror, tragedy, and adventure— and later edited into an OC. Her life was bloody, traumatic and very, very gory. I mean just look at her eye. Her life will be mentioned so watch out.

Shouto was scribbling his answers for his English test, Amy is hovering near the ceiling, playing with some rune circles of her own making. Right now she is making string figures with the crackling energy strings, and forming them into impossibly complicated figures.

He paused at the last question, biting his lip in thought, before writing down his answer. He flips to the first page to go through them again, and was reading through page three when Amy's voice rings through.

" You might want to look through this question again." She suggests, intelligent blue eyes gleaming as she smiled, hovering just above his table. He blinks, and speaks.

"What?"

The teacher shoots him a sharp glare from the podium, and he shuts his mouth, instead hissing through his teeth.

"What?"

Amy smiles gently, and taps the question again. " Read through them again, word by word." She says, "be careful with these trick questions, Shouto. Always try to read through them word by word."

He does, and finds at least three mistakes on the page. Shooting the ghost a surprised look, he turned back to the first page and went through the test again.

After the test, Shouto found Amy playing hopscotch in the trees, arms held out to balance herself before she spotted him and leapt down to the air by his side and gave him a meaningful smile.

"Well?" She asks.

"I didn't know you were good at academics." He mumbles as he slips out his phone. The ghost chuckles, and hums as she did several back flips, showing off her agility.

"Shouto, I used to be in the top of my class." She said as she landed with a light tap of her convers, "And my name was Ayla, my father was English." She gives him a considering look, "You want me to help tutor you? I won't mind."

"Whatever you like." He shrugs.

"Okay, Shouto."

With that, she flies off to the trees in front of him and takes amusement in manipulating the breeze and the snow.

Shouto had his ear plugs in as he talks to Amy, who was telling him about the key in using blood runes efficiently. They were walking down the sidewalk, it was a Saturday, and they didn't really have anything to do. So Amy told him they should take a walk around town and get out of the house, and Shouto, having no better ideas, agreed.

"I thought blood runes are activated by a certain set of actions?" He asks, and Amy shook her head.

"No, it would take too much time." She said, raising her arm and pulling up the long sleeve of her cardigan. "Blood runes are activated by the thought and a pulse of energy. When you do a certain set of actions it helps you focus and automatically sends the energy to the right pulses. But when you are used to it," one of her fingers twitches, and a whole dome of white, glowing runes, orbs, and rings of light exploded from her forearm, flickering and orbiting like the stars of a holographic planetarium, "A simple flick of the finger would do."

Shouto had to stare. "Sometimes," He remarked, "I forget how scarily powerful you are."

Amy shrugs, and was about to answer when her gaze slide behind him, and widen.

"Watch out!"

"Arashi-kun!"

She darts past him, and before he could see she was already by the road, pulling back a child into her arms as a car screeched to a stop a little ahead of them, and the driver steps off, jogging back.

"I'm so sorry!" He yells, the crowd around them is muttering and pointing at them, and Shouto realized with a jolt.

They could see her.

The child's mother rushes over, and pulls him from Amy's grip, hugging him tightly. Amy is now holding her hands tight against the left side of her face, and Shouto can see clotting black blood and the liquid that was her eye leaking from the edge.

They can see her now. He thought, people are going to see her face- the wound-

He was about to step forward, but The mother was already thanking Amy, who is slowly beginning to get to her feet.

"Thank you so much, miss, I couldn't imagine what would've happened if you- if you hadn't been here, Thank you!" The mother bows and peers at her, "Are... are you okay?" Shouto's pace quickens, and was about to call out when Amy pulls her hands away, revealing...

Nothing. Unblemished skin, a perfectly good eye, with nothing out of the ordinary. Amy smiles prettily, and bows back gently.

"It's okay." She said with a small laugh, tugging a lock of her platinum blond hair behind her ear, And I'm fine, Something got in my eye, that's all."

Shouto slows to a stop a little behind her, and hesitantly, call out.

"...Amy?" She turns around, and blinks at him before smiling softly. She ruffles the boy's hair, and jogs back over to him.

"...You're corporeal." Shouto gulped, "I thought you couldn't..."

"...Only for now." She looks away, "The curse've wore off for now, but it will come back, probably... in about ten years." She shakes her head sadly. "Come on. I can't just vanish into thin air, right? let's go."

(Shouto is 14 in this)

It was the summer holidays. The exams were over, he's done all his homework, and Shouto is currently very, very bored. Amy is hovering next to him as he went through his martial arts drill for the tenth time, observing him as runes danced along her fingertips, forming into large, galaxy-like structures.

Shouto finishes up the last move, and Amy tosses him his water bottle. He catches it with a muttered thanks and downs it's contents in one go. Amy chuckles, and land in front of him with a towel, draping it across his shoulders.

"We should head out today." She hums, " maybe go shopping? I need a change of clothes."

And that's how he ended up in a mall, standing awkwardly behind Amy as she flipped though racks of clothes.

"Psst." Shouto blinked as someone nudged him, he turned around to see a teen several years older than him, " you know that girl?"

Shouto raises an eyebrow and looks over at Amy, "Yes." He answered briefly, and the teen whistled.

"Hey, do you know if she's single or not? 'Cos she's pretty hot." He grins, eyeing Amy up as she bends over to pick up something she'd dropped, and Shouto frowned, and turned around, opting to ignore the teen.

But now that he thought about it, without the ghostly blur and glow, he can now see Amy's feature better. And she is actually quite pretty. With Eurasian features and platinum blond hair she almost look like an idol, she's built like one too, with a slim athletic frame. Amy catches his eye with a glance, and smiles prettily at him before heading over.

" Which one, Shouto?" She asked, showing him two different tops, before she noticed the guy standing behind him. "And you are..."

"Just passing by, babe." He grinned wolfishly, "I say you'd look hot in both of 'em."

Amy blinks, smiling again before raising her left hand to tuck a lock of hair away, and Shouto suddenly a glint, and sees that she's hot a small silver band around her ring finger. The teen seems to notice as well, and his entire demeanor changed.

"Oh boo." He snorted, "why are all the nice ones taken? Man..." And then he walks away without another word.

"Is that... an engagement ring?" Shouto asked, and Amy blinks.

"Well, yeah." She fiddles with the band, "I usually wear it on my necklace, but I kinda knew this would happen, so I put it on." She raises up the tops again, " So? Which one looks better?"

"You need to relax." Amy sighs from the corner of his room. She is now dressed in her new red coat and jeans, floating upside down as she flipped through her new purchase from the mall a week ago. "You're always studying and all... I didn't have this luxury when I was alive, you know."

"Why?" Shouto asked, "You... never really did talk about your life when you were alive."

Amy flips over to hug her knees and hums dismissively. "I don't like talking about it." She says lightly, rolling around in circles until she is floating just above him and then she holds his face in her hands, squishing it. "But! You've got time! You've got a ton of it, so you should enjoy it!" She smiles, "Wanna go take a look at the Victoria Falls?"

"The wha-" Shouto blinks, but a rune circle had already open up beneath him and he fell through.

"AMY!"

Amy laughs and dives after him, he falls through the wrap gate with a whoosh and Shouto can see the huge waterfalls underneath when he was falling, until Amy dives down and scoops him up bridal style.

"Come on, Don't you remember that flying spell I taught you?" She grins, "I'm going to turn corporeal soon~"

He screambled and extende his arms, firing off the right runes just in time for Amy to let him go with a laugh. But instead of floating along with him, Amy keeps falling until she's nearly hitting the water.

"Amy what the hell are you doing?!"

"WooHOO!"

The young woman dives into the steam, and suddenly burst back up in a whirlwind. As she flies back up next to him, Shouto could only stare.

Amy got herself wings. Large, white tern wings. She blew a raspberry at him as she dove down again and spun around in circles before gliding back up to find him.

"Mastering transfigurations with blood runes is hard, but not impossible," She giggles at his dumbfounded look, "Maybe I'll teach you one day!"

"That would be quite useful." He replied. Amy laughed and grabbed his hand, "Wait a sceond-"

"Grab on tight!"

"AMY!"

It was an accident. Amy shuffled her feet next to him as Shouto stared at a surprised looking Fuyumi in front of him, looking between the two of them.

"Shouto, um, who is this?" His sister asked, gesturing at Amy, who is now twirling her hair. Inwardly, Shouto is panicking a little, but then, Amy stepped forwards and extended a hand, flashing a beautiful smile.

"Hi! My name is Ayla, call me Amy though. I'm a friend of Shouto's." She ruffled his hair as she said so, "You must be Fuyumi, right? Shouto's sister?"

"Oh, um, yes." Fuyumi smiles and bows instead of taking the hand. "I'm Todoroki Fuyumi, it's nice to meet you, Amy-san." she glances at him, "Shouto, why didn't you tell me you have friends?" She teases.

Shouto didn't answer. Instead he shot Amy a warning glance.

Amy grins.

"Fuyumi-san, would you like to hear about the time Shouto fell into a pond?"

He groans.
