"S-Snatcher…?" But before she could say anything, a silhouette of a man with beautiful and sharp looking eyes peered from the shadows. Suddenly, a spotlight shone on the figure…
She blanched. "S-Snatcher?!" He laughed huskily.
“Oh Lydia~ Speaking of songs… would you care to dance?” He asked, offering a hand to her.
She blinked owlishly. 'What… is he up to?! I mean… yeah I get that he's probably making fun of me by flirting with me… but dancing…? Wha….?'
But she reluctantly gave in and placed her hand in his. He immediately pulled her to his chest while smirking down at her. He had to be at least 6'7 or something. But still as handsome as all get out.
He snapped his fingers and just like that, creepy but catchy music started to play. Lydia recognized the song though. It was from her previous lifes' world! It was Erutan's version of "Come Little Children" from the movie, Hocus Pocus. She loved that movie and the song even more. A giant smile stretched on her face. "God… when was the last time I heard this song? Halloween?"
Snatcher smiled warmly. He placed her one hand in his the other on his shoulder while his other hand on her waist. She shivered from his touch. And together, they danced.
“Hm, I wonder, Lydia, if you have the voice of an angel? You seem to know the song, would you sing for me?” Snatcher asked deviously.
Lydia tried not to look panicked. "I-I don't know about that… I-It's been a while… and I haven't even done the proper exercises and… and… I-I don't think you'll like it overall…" she stuttered out in embarrassment.
“We won’t know unless you try~ C’mon Lydia, please?” ‘Why am I begging? Do I really wanna know that badly?’ He wondered, a little startled with himself.
She fidgeted a little while they danced. "Mmmmm, okay… but don't say I didn't warn you." She threatened.
“It’s still a yes, I’ll take it. When you are ready then!” He actually seemed excited?
She sighed. She cleared her throat. The piano was started by a single handwave from Snatcher and she slowly started to sing.

Annapantsu's version of this son on YouTube
“Come little children
I'll take thee away
Into a land of enchantment
Come little children
The time's come to play
Here in my garden of shadows
Follow sweet children
I'll show thee the way
Through all the pain
And the sorrows
Weep not poor children
For life is this way
Murdering beauty and passions
Hush now dear children
It must be this way
Too weary of life
And deceptions
Rest now my children
For soon we'll away
Into the calm and the quiet
Come little children
I'll take thee away
Into a land of enchantment
Come little children
The time's come to play
Here in my garden of shadows~~~~"
Once she stopped. She didn't dare look him in the eyes and blushed. While Snatcher…. He looked completely mystified and was blushing yellow.
‘HOLY SHIT-’ “...Wow…” he commented breathily. She sighed. "Yeah yeah. It's… it's a lot to work with… but! But I can do better! I-It's just I haven't practiced a lot. I… used to receive the same commentary back in my previous life… and ever since… I only practiced either alone or with Wren… I… I'm not too confident with it… not even in my best." She betrayed herself.
“Well damn. If that’s you at your worst then you must sound GODLY at your best..” He just couldn’t get over how utterly AMAZING that sounded.
She looked at him like he manifested a second human-like head. "What're you talking about…? From what the others said… they found my singing… repulsive and scary. Wren was the only one that seemed to like and appreciate it though."
“Well the others were obviously jealous freaks who can’t recognize true talent if it was staring them in the face, which you obviously have!” He pouted childishly, crossing his arms and all.
She blushed brightly and looked at him in wonder. "Y-you think so…?" She asked with her bright green orbs looking at his yellow ones.
He blushed himself. “Well yeah… that was probably the best I’ve heard all my life… and afterlife.” He admitted, feeling oddly sheepish.
She giggled. "Feeling less confident now? Where were all those flirts from before?" She teased while she playfully pinched the side of his waist.
He yelped and stepped away. “Why’d you do that?!” He panicked. Totally wasn’t ticklish there. Not at all.
(Author: *cough* bullcrappy *cough*)
She laughed and stepped closer. "Ticklish are we~?" She poked both sides of his waist like a taser. Resulting in him squirming and squealing while he laughed.
“Nooooooo! D-don’t!” He said between fits of laughter.
She laughed while she poked him here and there. Making him laugh harder. Until he tripped over his own feet and accidentally dragged her down to fall on the ground. But they didn't mind. They just laughed it off. Until they saw the position they were in. She was on top of him and she blushed. Hard.
He was a lemon. A human lemon. And he wasn’t sure how to process the situation. ‘I kinda wanna kiss- NO! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING?!’
She was thinking about just getting off of him. But then she thought, 'Well, since I now have a time limit on my second life here… I might as well use it to the fullest! I always wanted to know what it was to kiss like my crush of a floof noodle.'
She took a deep breath and mustered enough courage and climbed further and kissed him. It wasn't much, it wasn't long or short but the passion and love was there and it's meaning. She then parted and looked elsewhere. Anywhere but at his eyes while blushing.
His eyes were wide with surprise. ‘That was amazing..’ He thought in awe. And he wanted more. “Lydia… look at me.” He “demanded” softly.
"I… rather not…" she croaked childishly while blushing from his tone and scratching her cheek.
“Then I’ll make you~” He purred, removing her hand from her cheek so he could replace it with his. He then guided her face to look at him and kissed her.
The kiss this time was deep and passionate. She wanted to run away and hide in a hole and die of embarrassment. But her heart thumped wildly and urged her to dance her lips with his.
It was about five minutes of non-stop kissing that they took a break. He could see the dreamy look on her eyes while she panted.
“Well that was amazing. Do it again?”
She seemed high in ecstasy and cuddled his chest. Seeming to hear what resembled a ghostly heartbeat. "In a minute… this feels nice." She sighed.
He chuckled and pulled her just a little closer.
“Ok…”
