Chapter Text
You lived in the house next to the Maitlands. They were wonderful neighbors and you were highly depressed when you found they both died, tragic floor giving out accident. However, the new neighbors had a child who you could babysit and make a few extra dollars so you couldn’t complain too much. You really liked Lydia too, she was a strange and unusual person. It was surprising how much you got along given your age difference but even at 20 you still felt like a child at heart so you got along just peachy.
So when you were invited over to watch her for a week while the Deetz, meaning Charles and Delia went on a very belated honeymoon, you agreed wholeheartedly. However, when you got there, Lydia was sitting outside in her usual black attire, keeping her back against the door looking very concerned. “ Hey, Lyds? What's going on?” You stared at the girl in front of you who looked like she was leaning against the door with all her might. “ Uh hey, y/n” She squeaked out, trying and failing to sound composed.“ Can we go in?”
When the words left your lips the door started shaking banging, a loud gruff voice came from behind the door. “LYDIA, FUCK BABES I JUST WANNA MEET HER COME ON JUST LET ME I’LL BE GOOD YOU SUMMONED ME SO YOU HAVE TO LET ME!!” You stared at the door eyes widening. You look at Lydia a second later, an awkward smile gracing her features. Her body still pressed up against the door as it rattled.“Lyds…” you began, “Yeah?” "Who the fuck is inside your house?”
The door stopped shaking and a quiet “fuck she heard that” came from behind the door. Then a quiet knocking came from the door. Lydia just sighed and looked back at you. “Okay, so I can see ghosts? Um, and demons apparently, and I got this friend? If I could even call him that, He’s the one that really wants to meet you, he’s been kinda watching us and hanging out with us the past few months but you didn't know well, because you couldn't see him. Also, Adam and Barbara say hi.”
Lydia spit the words out quickly looking at you her eyes pleading for you to believe her. But lucky you believed in ghosts already even if you couldn’t see them. “Okay... let’s see this demon then.” The knocking came almost feverishly fast, this guy didn’t know the meaning of patience apparently. Lydia stood up and slowly opened the door. Inside was pitch black you grabbed your bag and walked in Lydia following close behind you. Once your eyes adjusted to the dark you saw a man a little taller than you in a black and white striped suit. Messy green hair and stubble, large kinda sunken eyes. He looked almost nervous bouncing up and down in place. His raspy voice came out quick
“Hiya babes! Can you see me?” You nodded your head slowly not entirely sure what to make of this guy. Lydia leaned over to you, her confidence back knowing you believe her now.“ He’s kinda a perv, just saying’” He feigned shock when she said that, then floated over to you puffing his chest with pride and smiling widely. "Pleased to meetcha babes! I’m the Ghost with the Most, the number 1 bio-exorcist and the hottest guy you’ve ever seen I know” he grabs your hand pressing a big sloppy kiss on it. “I’ve been dying to meet ya since you first stayed over, cause your tits are fucking amazing!”Lydia smacked him and began to scold him but while she did a blush rose to your cheeks you couldn't help but laugh.
Two could play at his flirtatious game “ So what your name hot stuff?” you say poking your finger at his chest to make him back up a little, not that you weren’t amused by his antics, his smell was deathly. Lydia came to stand between you “He can’t say his name, but it’s Beetlejuice, and you can’t say it three times in a row unless you wanna summon him or make him go away.” She looks at him then back at you. “Could you please not tell Delia and Dad? Like the Maitlands are already annoyed with me being friends with him but I don’t want to get into actual trouble.” Her voice was nervous and you could understand. If the Maitlands, who were the nicest people ever, weren’t happy about this guy he was obviously trouble.
However, both faces looked at you with the strongest puppy eyes you’ve seen in a while. So you broke pretty fast. “Ah, all right but I do have one rule, I want to know more about you Mr. Beetleman.” He grabbed you fast holding you close and said “ I think that can be arraigned” You giggled turning to Lydia “ I like this one.” He faintly blushes and lets you go. You grab your bag and head upstairs to the guest room as you get to the stairs you hear the two of them talking and Lydia yell “ Can we get pizza tonight?” You figure you’ll respond when you head back down.
You loved staying at the Deetz house because of the wonderful spare bedroom. The large king bed in the middle of the room with the funky colorful furniture. It was Delia's room before Charles and her got engaged. You haphazardly toss the suitcase onto the bed and pull out the random necessities you’ll need quickly later. You hear the door open behind you and from the smell, you can tell who it was.
“It's been a while since a breather like you wasn’t completely afraid of me. Am I gonna have to try harder?” You turn and see the strange-looking man leaning against the door. “ Hm maybe, I have watched a lot of horror movies with Lyds maybe I’m just not scared anymore.” You continue putting away your things. Very aware of the eyes that are following you and checking you out. “I know baby I watched them with ya, Lyds just didn’t let me out to play~” He drew out the word obviously meaning it in more ways than one.
You, however, felt strange, it had been a while since someone so shamelessly hit on you but at least that person had been alive. You try to check out the ghost in the room with you. But you didn’t want to grow his ego if he caught you checking him out. Even still something about this strangely gross man was drawing your attention. You wanted to know more, you wanted to see more. Finishing what you were doing you turn to him and watch his eyes climb your figure. Suddenly your t-shirt and jeans seemed to feel very tight and show-offy which you weren’t sure how to handle. “ Hey, if you’re done filling your spank bank can you tell Lyds she can call the pizza place?” His eyes snapped to yours and a drawn-out lazy smile came to his face, “Sorry babes I’m used to you not being able to see that, sure thing” He then floated straight down to tell Lydia the good news. Sighing you could tell you were in for a long night.
