"U-umm…" He blushed, looking away.

Julian looked up at him, noticing the blush on his face. He felt himself smile a little bit. "Nevermind, I can ask a different question. What's your name?"

"D-Denzel." He said, looking up at him.

"I'm Julian," he said, reaching out to shake his hand. "Wait, can we touch? Is that even possible?"

"I… have no clue. I never really tried." He said, before reaching out his own hand. "Worth a shot though, I guess…"

(kk)
Julian shrugged before shaking Denzel's hand. He felt relieved when he was able to touch him and not pass through him completely. He knew he was supposed to be dead, but it made the guy seem a little more human.

He blinked in confusion, but shook his hand none the less. "Didn't think that would work, honestly."

"Yeah, I wasn't sure either," he said, dropping his hand. "So how long have you been like this?"

"About…" He wracked his brain. "Three years now?"

"Damn," Julian said softly, looking down at the ground. "Do you age?"

He shook his head. "Not anymore. Why?" He asked, tilting his head to the side.

"Just curious, I guess," he admitted. "I don't know things work after you… die."

"I'm not really the best to ask." He said softly. "I don't really know much myself."

"Well, you know more than me, that's for sure." He said, smiling just a bit. "Sorry for being an ass earlier, by the way. I honestly thought you were either stalking me or pulling a really elaborate prank."

"I-it's fine." He said, smiling softly at him. "And, to be fair, it wasn't exactly unprovoked."

"Yeah, but I should've at least given you a chance to explain yourself before I got upset," he pointed out, feeling guilty for how he acted earlier.

He shook his head. "No, you were right."

Julian sighed. "So… back to what I said earlier. Why did you choose me, of all people, to haunt?"

"Well, uh…" He bit his lip

"You don't have to answer if you don't want, I was just curious. I'm not exactly the most interesting person," he said, laughing a bit.

He smiled slightly. "Can I not tell you just now?"

"Yeah, I'm not going to force it out of you, but you're going to leave me burning with curiosity until you do."

He chuckled awkwardly.

"Anyway, I need to get back to my dorm, I'm supposed to be studying right now," he said, sighing.

He nodded. "See you around, then?"

Julian grinned. "Yeah, see ya," he said, turning to make his way to his dorm. He definitely wasn't going to study, though. He was going to flop over in bed, try to understand the idea that he just met a dead person that nobody else can see, and probably cry or something.

He floated away, heading to one off his favorite spots on campus. The library. Nerd.
