"Makes sense to me." Jesse fell into step beside him, walking through the wall to do it. "You need the walk, anyway."

He snorted. "Are you calling me fat?"

"Nah," Jesse said with a grin. "Not with those abs." He looked away, apparently realizing that the bare walls of the hallway were fascinating.

DB found himself blushing and he walked a little faster, taking the stairs at an almost breakneck speed. The plan to ignore the weird, sexy stuff was not working. Not working at all.

Jesse was waiting for him outside. "Stairs are a pain in the ass," he said, looking around. "But not as bad as elevators."

"You can just wish yourself wherever anyway," DB noted. Being a ghost certainly had its benefits.

Kind of some big drawbacks though -- like the being dead. He headed off toward the hospital, Jesse more or less walking next to him. It made him wince every time Jesse had to walk through someone, so he gave the people he met coming toward him a wide berth.

"They can't feel me, you know," Jesse said conversationally. "Just you. Though it is kind of creepy, I guess. Hey, can you see the guy on the corner? The one with the black umbrella and the top hat?"

"Duh, I'm not blind." And a guy like that kind of stood out.

"He's dead." Jesse stopped walking and stared at him. "Can you talk to him? Want to find out?"

DB stopped automatically when Jesse did. "You mean he's a ghost, too? How can you tell?"

A lady looked him up and down like he was crazy and went to the far side of the sidewalk as she walked past. Which meant at least that she didn't walk right through Jesse. Shit, it looked like he was standing in the middle of the sidewalk talking to himself. DB shook his head and started walking again, deliberately not looking at Jesse or Mr. Top Hat.

"Well, first it's the clothes -- he's a few decades out of date. And then there's the fact that one of his knees is going through the backpack of the guy next to him, just a bit on the left hand side. But mostly it's because his name is Michael and we've talked a bit."

DB just grunted and kept walking, though he did look, and sure enough, Jesse was right, the guy wasn't exactly all there. He didn't stop when they reached the guy, though, just kept moving a little faster and didn’t say a word.

"Hey, Michael," Jesse said as they passed. "Still waiting for the train?"

"It's late," Michael said, sounding kind of pissed off about it. "How long do they expect me to wait?"
