Someone suggested to write more about Jin and the ghost... so here it is. It will be a 5-part story and I hope you'll enjoy it (^-^)
Thanks to my lovely beta
razzie89 Crazy love - the ghost drabble (2)
“Monsieur Akanishi, would you like some wine?” the waiter asks (-in English)
Jin raises his head.
“Actually -”
“You’d better order some. I’m dying to drink a nice Chardonnay. Well, technically I’m already dead but still.”
The young man is flabbergasted: the ghost has just appeared and is now sitting in the chair that was empty a few seconds ago.
“Wine?” repeats the waiter.
Apparently the latter can’t see the ghost.
“Er - yes, please. Chardonnay.”
“Yatta〜” the ghost exclaims, “You’re a star, sweetie.”
“But can you drink? You’re a ghost!” Jin comments once the “garçon” has left.
The ghost giggles.
“Of course! - So what’s up, love? Did you call your boyfriend?”
Jin nods. He doesn’t want to talk too much. He’s the only one who can see the supernatural being so he doesn’t want people to think he’s crazy!
“How did it go? You told him how you feel, ne?”
“I did.”
“And??”
Jin sighs.
“I told him I loved him but he didn’t say anything. I don’t really know what to think-”
“Humm… But what did you expect? You had a fight after all. Saying “Je t’aime” won’t solve the problem.”
“You told me-”
“It’s only a first step. You can’t expect your boyfriend - Kame, right? - to erase all the stupid things you’ve done before.”
“Well, somehow I wished… Eeh! You’re drinking my wine!”
“As if you would have had it anyway. I don’t mean to be a killjoy but it sounds to me you’re always making excuses and avoid facing your problems.”
That ghost is well cheeky!
“Don’t take it the wrong way. I’m only trying to help, sweetie〜”
“I wonder why” Jin whispers.
“Because I’m a lovely ghost〜”
“You look more like a drunkard one to me.”
“That’s mean!”
The ghost disappears. Jin looks at the empty bottle of Chardonnay and sighs.

Back to the hotel, Jin enters his room.
“Urameshiyan〜”
The ghost is in front of him, smiling.
“I was waiting for you.”
Jin keeps silent.
“Why are you all sulky now?”
“I’m not. You’re the one who suddenly disappeared.”
“Well, that’s a ghost thing I suppose- Anyway, I won’t keep a grudge against you… just hurry to order some wine from room service, I’ll forget all about it and won’t haunt you forever.”
Jin is so taken aback he can’t speak for a moment.
“What?!” he finally manages.
“Wine” the ghost repeats slowly. “Some red Bordeaux will do.”
Jin’s under the impression the ghost won’t leave him alone until satisfied so he picks up the phone and calls room service. Crap. He doesn’t even like wine!
“You’re such a sweetheart. Thank you dear” the ghost says after taking a sip. “Let’s have a nice chat.”
“You do realize you’re strange.”
“I’m a ghost so it comes as no surprise. Now, won’t you tell me what your fight was about?”
Jin sighs.
“Apparently I’m cold.”
“Cold? Is that what your boyfriend told you?”
“Yep.”
“And are you?”
“Of course not! I love him remember.”
“Loving him doesn’t mean you can’t be cold. Maybe you don’t realize it.”
“I’m just not the talkative type.”
“You seem very talkative to me,” the ghost starts laughing. “I don’t know then… Perhaps you don’t feel at ease with your relationships.”
“But I do! It’s just that sometimes it gets on my nerves - I mean he’s always surrounded by people. They’re all over him. It pisses me off-”
“Right. So when you see that, you just go all sulky like a moment ago?”
Jin shrugs.
“No wonder you boyfriend thinks you’re cold. The poor thing must even believe it’s because of him.”
What? Wait a minute. Does Kame really think that way? that it’s all his fault? But he loves him. Crap. He’s been such a fool.
“What can I do?”
“Talk to him” the ghost answers. “I won’t lie - it isn’t gonna be easy.”
“I know…”
“It’s just an idea - you could invite him over. I mean, you’re actually lucky enough to be stuck in Paris - capital city of l’amour. There’s worse place to be, ne?”
“Are you suggesting something like a romantic weekend?”
“Why not? Ok - off I go. Just give it a thought.”
The ghost smiles and disappears.
What to do? The idea’s not bad actually. He picks up his phone and dials his loved one’s number.
“Moshi moshi.”
“Kame, what about waking up in Paris tomorrow morning?”

A/N: so what do you think?? So far the story is still quite light. Can you actually believe a ghost is helping Jin's out? *laughs* I'm really sorry for the ghost being so silly but so far all the ghosts I met turned out to be like this...
