His eyes widen the instant he sees the gift - truthfully, he wasn't expecting one! He looks at the wrapped present, then up at Barnaby, then back at the gift as the realization starts to set in that it's really for him!

And so, he eagerly takes the gift with a smile, holding it in his wings now.

Aw, my dear friend, you truly didn't have to get me anything! But this is most definitely appreciated, and I can't thank you enough for it! I'm sure what you got me is going to be delightful.

He then looks down at the present, and with his telekinetic abilities, he begins to unwrap the ribbon from around the present and then carefully unwraps it. Inside is a quaint-looking box, and after he slowly opens it, he looks inside...

Happy holidays, my dear friend! I brought you something to brighten your spirits!

In front of Oliver is a plate of freshly-baked cookies! They're still warm, having come out of the oven not long ago.

The smile on his face brighten widely, “HOOHOO! Lovely gift, I also got you something in return for the colorful holiday!”

Pulling up a present for Oliver, as he was excited to give it to him.

Blackout :)

A good effort at some fun, my friend, but perhaps think more outside the box next time!

He sighs, still insistent on not overstaying his welcome... until he hears these musical suggestions. Perhaps if there's the right instrument nearby... and singing too? Come to think of it, he's definitely curious to hear Barnaby sing.

Besides, he does need this. Even if he fears not being fully out of the woods, he should still try to enjoy the time while he's safe.

So, why not try to enjoy some music with his best friend?

He then laughs a bit and looks at Barnaby as his smile starts to return, and he stands up.

Oh, what the heck... If it wouldn't be a bother, I suppose I could give it a good shot - having a jolly good time with a little music and singing. I'm certainly not the best singer, but I'll do my very best.

He still looks on edge, however, his brow twitching slightly.

The cold air flies along him, though he cannot feel it as he flees through it. His eyes are wide, his expression filled with a great dread as he races to the one place he knows he can go if he needs it.

He gets to the manor doors and quickly rushes inside, but not before looking behind himself to make sure no one was following him anymore. As soon as he knows it’s safe, he quickly flutters inside and slams the doors behind him.

He keeps his back glued to the door, looking at the closed doors as he breathes quickly in panic. He closes his eyes as he tries to collect himself before anyone can see him in this state.

Barnaby was working on new invitations, but having a hard time of which he wants. In his deep thoughts, hear something from the main floor of his home. Confuse as he was, looking at the time pretty late little quite odd. Decided to stake a break working on the invitations as the Barnaboo’s watched him stretched his neck out to peek out from his office. Spotting Oliver-

This is unusual, see the expression couldn’t quite put it out at it. Finally now to come out fully, “Oliver?” Spoked up, “Something wrong seem little—“ how can Barnaby describe this? “Agitated?” Maybe correct wording to say, his head then went upside down to stare at him.

“Also sweating as well.” Pointing out more of this, this is concerning to see now.

For @ghoulishsweets and @youreverydayghost

I like Oliver the ghost bat, he’s cool. He has his own ask blog on Tumblr. Awhile back, Evevolla gave him and Barnaby a Dutch Apple pie and a recipe for him. Evevolla is not much of a baker or a cook, but she learned how by traveling to other worlds.

Hope you guys like this.

Be honest...

Oliver, do you like Barnaby? 😏

Hehehehe

...

He was silent for a few more moments, his uneasy smile leaving as he decided to say one more thing.

... Just don't tell him... that's all I ask.

#batty inquiries - ask oliver #billie bust up #bbu oc #billie bust up barnaby #oh dear

[ghoulishsweets]

... He really just did that.

When he felt that kiss on his cheek... his eyes went wide, and he hovered there for a few moments, his wing rubbing his cheek. His eyes sparkled, and his face grew even more flush. A shy smile began to appear...

... and that's when he jumped from the sound of Barnaby hitting his head on the wall.

In this moment, he looks up at Barnaby, who claims it wasn't so bad, and comes out of his daze in that moment. And then... he starts to laugh. It's a quiet bit of laughter before growing louder.

After going into a small fit of laughter, he finally looks at him again and speaks, donning a bright smile and joyful eyes.

This... this is why you're my favorite.

And then, he follows the whims of his heart by flying over to him and kissing him on the cheek in return.

His smile is wide after pulling back, and his eyes are glistening with joy.

You always keep surprising me.

Barnaby was just having a conversation with Oliver, nothing too out of the ordinary. Hear something though that was above him, look up at two of the Barnaboos there, with one holding a mistletoe— how odd. For the ghostly male stared at it for a good solid minute. “Why do you have that? Does this have a meaning or a purpose??”

Barnaby being clueless, for the other Barnaboo just facepalm on its hand. Going over to explain to Barnaby about it.

Can see like a whole world blew his mind, slowly flustering up as he now understands this. “…Oh-“

How strange, yet interesting him to know. Looks over at Oliver now, he was just as surprised. Just now looking at the other two Barnaboos, “wait- expect us to?? Oh nonononono!!- I mean, I—“ Just to see now a rambling owl, didn’t know what to do in this sort of situation.

[ghoulishsweets]

... Oh, dear.

Oliver seems just as flustered as Barnaby, frozen as he looks at him, then the plant hanging above them, then at the Barnaboos before looking back at Barnaby. His mind is racing, it's clear to tell. At first, he has no idea what to say as his pupils dart around, but then, as he sees the owl's reaction, he finally talks.

O-Oh, goodness, this was... well, quite unexpected...

He soon looks away, finding it harder to look at him all of a sudden.

Well... w-we don't have to... if that would make you feel better... he adds, his voice trailing off as he covers the lower half of his face with his wing.

He doesn't want to admit in this moment for the owl's sake, but it can be presumed from his expression: he doesn't want to leave this situation. Still, he finally looks up at him slowly, awaiting his answer.

Do you think Barnaby would fall for that pie in the window trick

How convenient of him to have a window right by this side of the kitchen as well! It's almost as if he put it there after meeting me...

As Oliver listens to his explanation, his eyes light up on hearing his enthusiasm and gratefulness, and he smiles while he takes in every word. And that smile! How sweet it is, to see him so happy! Oliver's eyes shined upon seeing his expression, his chest feeling warm from how Barnaby makes him feel.

But then, he sees Barnaby starting to hide behind his wings. He laughs a little, and - in a move he doesn't quite expect himself to make - he starts to move one of his wings away from his face so he can see him better.

No need to hide, my friend! I simply like seeing you smile. Still, I'm thrilled that you find the gift so meaningful; I'll have to remember this! Maybe I can find some more for you.

As he finishes his sentence, though, he realizes what he's just done and backs away just a bit, looking away as he himself shows a nervous expression and a shy smile.

Oliver seemed... a little nervous about this, but nonetheless, he held a little something in his wings -  a dead rat? He laughed a little as he handed it over to Barnaby.

I... was under the impression that this would make a lovely gift for you, so... h-here I am.

A part of him wondered if it was some sick joke to embarrass himself in front of the party host, but still, he awaited a reaction with wide eyes.

Someone he dearly chatted with is here— offering a rat. Now this was something he not expecting, looking at Oliver couldn’t help to blush himself.

A smile then appeared on his face, only to happily give Oliver a hug. “How lovely it is!” Hooted happily toward the ghost bat, for he then looked at the male with a smile. “Very lovely indeed!”

Barnaby accept the gift from the other.

Oliver is so precious, I love this little ghost bat

Thank you, really, that's... incredibly kind of you! Oh, goodness...

#batty inquiries - ask oliver #billie bust up #bbu oc

[ghoulishsweets]

His eyes instantly lit up from the way Barnaby reacts so positively to his baking. In fact, they even sparkle a little. To think he impressed the grand party host himself! What an honor... and thus, his whole expression alights with joy as the disbelief washes away.

Y-You truly mean that? Oh, I'm so glad you enjoy it! I wanted to make something that could turn any frown upside down.

With those last words as well, he looks away bashfully, smiling a little softer as he thinks.

I'm just... happy to be here. You have no idea how much this means to me. I... haven't been able to make many friends in the afterlife, even after 30 years of being dead. Therefore, I, well... I cannot express my gratitude enough, that you invited me inside.

He then tilts his head a little as he looks at him. How often do you get guests here aside from the parties?

He takes a deep breath as he looks ahead at the manor, though no air fills any lungs. The ghostly bat lets a faint smile as he slowly approaches the door, though it soon fades as looks down in his wings. In his telekinetic grasp appears to be… a basket, with a little tag on it that says “To: Barnaby” and the sweet aroma of freshly baked goods. His wing shakes slightly as he gets closer to the door. Was it nerves? Was it anticipation? He couldn’t quite tell... Soon enough, he gets to the door and takes one more breath before slowly setting the basket on the front doorstep to the manor. His wing shakes a bit more as he closes his eyes, and then… he knocks on the door, quickly flying off to the side of the manor afterwards and peeking out... to see just what his friend's reaction could be to this little surprise.

Happy hooting as he was doing some cleaning, just only going around making sure not much dust was on some things. Sort of kept some portraits from getting ruined. While dusting each one and sort of angling them a bit more too. His head perfect up, looking at the time. “Someone at this hour? Wonder who can that be??” As he spoke, opening the door in stead his usual having his head peek out first. Entire form came out, wearing an bandanna and an apron for cleaning.

“Hellooooooo??” Blink a bit and look around, scratch his head a little. Finally looking down at the ground to notice the basket. “Oh?” Picking up now, looking at it carefully, grab the note.

Seeing his name on the card, seeing no other name but just his- but the smell caught his attention. Lift the cover from it to check, see the goodies in it. Really did surprised him very much, “Hoohoo!! how delightful!!” Yet he wondered who came here, haven’t notice Oliver was there watching. See the silly happy smile though in Barnaby’s face. “Really sweet, if anyone still around could come out for tea.”

As if Barnaby been through this before of someone hiding and watching, as the ghost owl waited.

He was surprised by the idea of being taken somewhere else to sit down, and truthfully, he just wanted to hide, but he took a deep breath and decided to follow along to not seem so suspicious. He saw the tea being handed to him as he sat down, and he brought the cup up to sip on the tea, still clearly shaken up. He was still shaking every few seconds.

Upon being asked if he actually was alright, however, he looked up at him with worried eyes.

I-I'll be fine, truly, you don't have to worry about me. I just...

He looked away as he tried to figure out how to word it, but then, after a couple seconds, he turned back to him.

... It's nothing, really. I just need to calm down- he says, shivering- a-and I'll be out of your feathers soon enough.

But behind his eyes was a gaze that had terror behind it. He's hiding something - and unfortunately for him, it's clear as day.

His eyes shifted around rapidly, as though looking for something.

The cold air flies along him, though he cannot feel it as he flees through it. His eyes are wide, his expression filled with a great dread as he races to the one place he knows he can go if he needs it.

He gets to the manor doors and quickly rushes inside, but not before looking behind himself to make sure no one was following him anymore. As soon as he knows it’s safe, he quickly flutters inside and slams the doors behind him.

Sooo question Oliver, do you and Barnaby ever plan on tying the knot? I mean that is if ghosts can even get married what with the till death do you part thing.

Oliver has found himself unable to speak due to being too flustered.

Evevolla (human version): Hi Oliver, I have a recipe for this pastry called Caramel Apple Mini Cakes. Maybe you can make those mini cakes for Barnaby for the next time he’s sad or upset. I even made him a blanket. What do you think?

And you can have the written recipe back; I've already got it memorized. This truely is much appreciated! Thank you!
