Chapter 17
October 31, 1923
"No." Percival answers bluntly as he went back to his paperwork. Queenie gives a sad look and so does Tina.
"Sorry, besties. But we have a lot of work to get done." (Y/n) says, her face making the same look as she pouts.
"But everyone's going!" Queenie argues.
"Doesn't mean we have to go." Percival says as he filled out his papers.
"Yes it does!" Queenie says nodding.
"It won't be any fun without you two."Tina sighs.
"Oh sure it would." (Y/n) waves it off, "It'll be fine. Maybe next year."
"Please?" Queenie begged with puppy dog eyes, pouting with her bottom lip sticking out and quivering. (Y/n) and Percival stared at her.
"No." He states as he wen back to work. Queenie looked at (Y/n) and she went pale.
'Shit!' (Y/n) thinks as Queenie's doubled the effect of her puppy dog eyes and pout with an extra or tear brimmed eyes.
"Please...?" She begged again but a whimper. (Y/n) tries to look away but she can't, biting her lip as to whether to say yes or no to her best friend.
"Don't fall for it." Percival warns as he writes. Queenie tripled the effect which left (Y/n) in "awe" manner. Tina watched in slight confusion. (Y/n) sighed heavily, giving in to Queenie's pleads.
"Fine." Queenie smiles brightly as she jumped up and down excitedly.
"Yay!" Percival glared at (Y/n), which she ignored. The two sisters smile as they opened the door and began walking backwards so they're still facing the couple.
"The party's tonight," Queenie states.
"Starting at seven and ending at midnight," Tina continues.
"And since it's a masquerade, both of you should match." Queenies says with the smiles as they're out into the hall. Tina reaches over to the doorknob.
"Just an idea." Tina adds with a shrug and smile as she closed the door. (Y/n) was smiling to herself and she looked over at Percival, who glared daggers at her. Her smile immediately faded and she looked down at her lap.
"It's hard resist Queenie's pleading puppy look..." (Y/n) says with a pout. It was silent for a few moments before Percival let out a heavy sigh as he went back to his work.
"Why don't you go out and pick out our outfits for tonight, I'll take over your work when mine's finished." He mumbles. (Y/n) smiles brightly at this and hugs him.
"Alright!" She kisses his cheek as she stood from her seat and put it back in its rightful place since she was working in his office. (Y/n) begins walking over to the door and opens it.
"But don't choose anything that will make me look like an idiot." Percival says after. (Y/n) looks back at him smiling.
"Don't worry, I won't" She giggles before walking out and closing the door behind her. Percival sighs and looks over at her pile of work.
"She better because I'm not doing all this work of hers just to go to a party and look like a fool." He grumbles. (Y/n) goes out and to a nearby costume store. She describes to the owner something that's for a masquerade ball that's not too over the top, not too colorful, gives off a chilling atmosphere since it's Halloween, something that won't give off too much attention to them that would make them feel like clowns. Taking all those details in, the owner than nods with a smile.
"I have something that you and your lover just might like, follow me." She says and they went to the back. The owner goes into a back room, gone for a few moments before coming back out with the outfits. (Y/n) can't help but give out an almost audible gasp as she looked at the outfits.
"What do you think, ma'am?" The owner asks. (Y/n) grins.
"Perfect."

"Are you sure this is the right size doll? It's just a tad bit tight." Percival asks teasingly with a slight smirk as they walked to the party since it was being held somewhere in secret from the No-Majs. (Y/n) rolls her eyes with a slight smile.
"I'm sure. I should be since we live together and I do the laundry." He chuckles as he kissed the top of her head as he held her hand. Children who were out trick-or-treating passed them as they quickly went house to tenement to apartment to get candy. People who were either with their kids or were just out to trick-or-treat themselves watched the two in slight awe. Most finding it extremely at how they dressed up and matched. Percival can't help but smile as he was actually looking forward to this. He was never really the person who went out to parties that was planned by the employees since he typically had no one to go with and never talked much to any of his subordinates. But now (Y/n) was in his life, so he was actually kinda excited about this. But he would never really want to admit that.
"You look beautiful in that by the way." Percival said, which was what he really wanted to admit. (Y/n) blushes and looks up at him with a smile.
"And you handsome and kinda mysterious with that mask on." She says with a smile. They both peck each other's lips and continued walking. Once there, they went around the back and tapped a few times on a couple of bricks in a specific order. The faded painting of a lady who almost looks like she's part of royalty on the brick wall starts to move and specifies the two.
"For the masquerade, I presume?" The two nod.
"Yes, ma'am." (Y/n) says.
"Password?" The painting asks.
"Quid Agis." Percival says.
"Ego satis bene, gratias ago tibi." The painting responds the the brick wall opens and the jazz music of the ballroom is heard within.
"Gratias tibi." Percival says to the painting with a curt nod as Percival held his arm out for (Y/n) to take and they walked in. The wall closes the painting as they headed deeper with the building. They finally get there and the jazz music now louder than before as it's being played by goblin musicians and a glamorous goblin jazz singer is up on stage, wafting smoky images from her wand to illustrate her lyrics. (Y/n) tugs on Percival's arm slightly.
"I know her. She sings at the Blind Pig. She's really good."
"The phoenix cried fat tears of pearl When the dragon snapped up his best girl, And the Billywig forgot to twirl When his sweetheart left him cold," The goblin sang as the images moved and galloped throughout the large ballroom.
"You go to the Blind Pig?" Percival asks looking at (Y/n). She chuckles almost nervously as she rubbed the nape of her neck sheepishly.
"Only sometimes. Not all the time though." Percival looks at (Y/n) with slight anger.
"And the unicorn done lost his horn, And the Hippogriff feels all forlorn, 'Cause their lady loves have upped and gawn, Or that's what I've been told-"
"O-Oh uhm... Look! There's Tina and Queenie. Let's go see them." (Y/n) says over the singer as she quickly changed the subject. Percival can't help but sigh as he was letting this slide just this once. The ballroom is filled with MACUSA employees, and friends that were invited, in all kinds of costumes. Some drinking, talking and laughing, dancing in the middle of the ballroom, eating, and smoking. They reach the sisters and they looked at them up and down with wide smiles on their faces.
"Oh you two just look adorable together! Right, Teenie?" Queenie squeals excitedly. Tina nods.
"Absolutely adorable!" (Y/n) smiles and Percival just blushes a tiny bit. They talked until the two sisters were being pulled away by other employees. Percival and (Y/n) took a few drinks and drank as they watched everyone have a good time. Feeling slightly loose and just a tiny bit tipsy, Percival stood behind (Y/n)and place his hands her hips and pulled her close to him. (Y/n) lets out a small giggle as they started to sway side to side a bit to the rhythm of the music that was being sang by the goblin jazz singer. He placed small kisses from behind her ear and down her neck.
"Percy, people could be watching..." (Y/n) says as they continued to sway.
"Well, only a few since it's not very bright in here and there's a lot of people." Percival said into her ear lowly, causing her to shiver, he then kissed her shoulder and up her neck again. But he did have a point about people possibly not seeing them.
"Yes, love has set the beasts astir, The dang'rous and the meek concur,"
Percival kisses a certain spot on her neck which made (Y/n) let out a small moan that only he could hear over the music. That's when he started to nip, suck, and slightly bite that spot which makes her blush, moan, and want. Leaving a satisfying love bite on her neck, Percival turns her around and kissed her fiercely. It being crowded and dark, no one could see.
"It's ruffled feathers, fleece, and fur, 'Cause love drives all of us wild."
The goblin jazz singer finishes and everyone applauds. The two pull away panting and (Y/n) a blushing mess. With her being slightly shocked that they were just making out in public, without anyone even noticing. "Love really does drive us wild." Percival mutters as he pressed his forehead against hers.
"Don't be so corny..." (Y/n) mutters with a smile as she wrapped her arms around his neck. He lets out a small laugh as he kissed her lips.
"Happy Halloween, doll."
"Happy Halloween, Percy."
A/n: Hey, guys! Or gals... Or gals and guys... Or... Uh... Uh... UHM ⁀⊙﹏☉⁀

Hey, everyone! Sorry for the late update! Been busy with shit like school and shit like that. And my birthday's coming around the corner and all (Two days, Friday). Aaaaaaand those who are reading my other stories, I also apologize for not updating those often too. I just hope this chapter is good since it's kinda a writer's block because of how long it's taking to get to the main point so I'm like making a couple of draft chapters that could possibly make it later on in the story so it pretty much saves the trouble for me later. I also didn't have the brain cells to describe the outfit and I had to use that song in the movie which is probably gonna pop up again later on in the story where Newt's at the Blind Pig and all that shiz. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand yeah. Vote and comment if you guys like and I'll see you all, hopefully, soon! Bai~ ≧✯◡✯≦✌
