"Hey Aidan..." he hums to let (y/n) know that he was listening, looking up to see how sleepy she looked as they both lay together on his bed. She was curled around him being the big spoon, nuzzling the top of his head as he snuggled into her arms in response.

Oh, how he loved it when she squeezed him closer to her chest like he was her own personal pillow, smiling sleepily in her arms with her arm around his waist while he scrolled through her phone. They both were just watching TikTok's, him chuckling at how her FYP was mainly videos of him as Five, Loki, POV's and food Tok. He had warned her about the danger of having an account but she didn't really see an issue so he didn't push her.

"Halloween is coming up..."

"Yeah...?" His voice muffles against her arms as she wrapped them around him, his heart jumping erratically from her affection.

"I was wondering if we could do something..."

"Like what baby?" He entwines his fingers with hers, kissing her knuckles.

"I mean... like I want to experience what Halloween is like here. Australia doesn't do anything." This made the brunette shoot up awake in surprise.

"Wait actually!?"

"Yeah... I've never done anything for Halloween before."

"Trick or treating!?"

"Nope."

"Halloween party!?"

"Nah."

"At least dressing up!?"

"Not even that."

"Did you at least give out chocolate!?"

"We bought some but no one comes by the house to take them so no."

"You've never experienced a proper Halloween before!?"

"No... I want to though..."

"(Y/n), I don't know if we can but I will definitely ask Steve and Jeff to give us a few days off for Halloween." He frowned, not sure if he could fulfil this wish for his love but he was damned sure he was going to try.

"If you can't, that's ok. We don't have to." She smiles at him, opening her arms again for him to cuddle with her like he had asked to do hours ago and he happily complies. He dives for her arms and snuggles against her happily but his mind was running with ideas on how to give the love of his life her first perfect Halloween.

~~~~~~~~

"Happy Halloween!"

"Thanks (y/n)!"

The girl smiles shyly as she passed the crew little goodie bags that she had made, running up to another group to give them some bags of chocolate and sweets too. Aidan peeks over to see (y/n), smiling widely at how adorable she was catching up to random staff and cast members to give them some chocolate bags.

"Oh, you're so fucking cute!" Robert squeals, squishing her in a tight hug and she hugs him back, the others doing the same as well. Tom picked her up to give her a hug, Ritu and Emmy squishing her between them, David hi-fiving her while Elliot and Justin pat her head.

"But you're a day early kid." David says while Justin and Elliot exchange chocolates for the ones they want.

"Well, we all have the next few days off so I wasn't sure I was going to see you again."

"Did you spend last night making these!? There's like over a hundred people!" Emmy gasps.

"Oh! Aidan and his mum helped me!" The cast smirk and turn to look at the boy who quickly looks away, Steve chuckling as he looks down at the boy.

"Thanks for giving us some time off." Aidan clears his throat and the older man nods.

"It'll be good for us to look over the footage and see what needs to be fixed when you guys come back. So have fun with your girlfriend." Steve chuckles as Aidan blushes, jumping lightly when he felt a hand on his shoulder and saw (y/n) hand him a chocolate bag too.

"Made sure they're vegan."

"You're so perfect." The brunette kisses his girl's cheek and she flushes. "Do you know what you're going to wear tomorrow?"

"No... I don't have a costume... but that's ok! I'll find something in my wardrobe."

"Nope! We need to dress in matching costumes!" Aidan exclaims, looking around before grabbing (y/n)'s hand and running off with her.

"Where are we going?" She huffs out and he pulls them into a large closet-like room filled with old and new costumes, closing the door quickly so no one catches them.

"I want to give you a proper Halloween so..." he points out to the costumes and he beams when his girl gasps in shock. "pick whatever you want to wear!"

"I WANT TO WEAR YOUR UNIFORM!" She yells out, rushing to the clothing rack and seeing the old costumes there along with the masks. "Why do you still have them here?"

"Not sure. Try them on."

"I might have to mix match... but what are you wearing?"

"I could wear my old suit?" The brunette suggests as he looks around at the costumes, not turning around in case his girl was changing to give her some space. She wore Emmy's skirt and David's shirt plus his blazer, fixing the sleeves and tucking the shirt in before grabbing Toms's mask from his younger character.

"What do you think?" Aidan turns around and smiles at how cute (y/n) looked.

"You look like you'd still be in high school and not university."

"I do have that baby face. God, the uniform brings me back to my old days at my all-girls high school. It's been what? Only three years. Holy shit..."

"I bet you would've looked just as cute back then like you are now." The brunette says with a smile but his girl scoffs.

"Hell no. If we met when we were younger, I mean sure I would've had a crush on you, but you would never look my way at all!"

"Sure I would..." he frowns deeply, holding his love's hand.

No, he wouldn't cause I was a very big girl back then...

"Anyway, I got my costume. How do you put the mask on?"

"Well we use Pros-aide but there should be a latch on the sides to clip on an elastic on the prototypes." Aidan mumbles out, finding just as he said and putting on a stretchy elastic for (y/n) before carefully helping her out the mask on. "There we go! The missing eighth Umbrella Academy sibling." He chuckles. "What would your power be?"

"Oh, matter manipulation completely. You have control of everything atom related."

"Now that's strong. No one would be able to beat you!"

The couple walked out with their costumes, heading back to the trailer to change back into their normal clothes. "Wait, are we going to buy chocolates for outside our rooms?"

"Do you want to?" The brunette asks, holding his girl's hand as they got into the car that was waiting for them.

"I mean, I don't know if there are kids near us but I wouldn't mind."

"Baby, we'll do whatever you want to do." He smiles down at her, kissing her cheek before asking the driver to take them to the shops. They get out once they arrived, making sure their masks were on and roamed around the grocery store buying only a few packets of different chocolates plus two large bowls.

"This should be enough... do you have paper?"

"I think I do. I have markers too if you need them." Aidan says as he and (y/n) pay for the chocolates, heading back to the car to go to the hotel. They climb out once they reach the hotel, heading up to the brunette's room soon after and sorting the chocolates into the two bowls. "Let's put the sign up next to the bowls since we won't be home tomorrow."

"Wait, are we actually going trick or treating!?" His girl gasps in excitement as he nods and she dives to hug him happily, both of them falling over on the floor. He laughs happily as she thanks him, holding her cheeks as she beams above him. He would do anything to keep that smile on her face.

"And after that... I heard there's a party as well so if you want to go-"

"-let's go! For sure! I've always wanted to go to a frat party or equivalent party here in America! You guys know how to party. Or maybe that's just in the movies..."

"We'll find out tomorrow night lovely. Now, how about you go take a shower and we can binge-watch some horror movies." The brunette says, helping his love up on her feet when he got up.

"Ok!" She bounds off to get clean first and he chuckles at how happy she was, setting the bed and putting aside the bowls before calling room service to bring up some dinner for the both of them.

~~~~~~~~

"Let's go!"

"Baby, the night is young. We have all night." Aidan chuckles as (y/n) rushes to put her shoes on, all dressed and pretty for him in her costume of The Umbrella Academy uniform. Her pretty pink lips turn into a smile when he turns to her, wearing his old suit from season 3 which surprisingly still fits, hair falling loose and fluffy like his girl apparently loves. She said his wild hair looks so good on him so he kept it as it is while it dries off. He helps her put her mask on, careful to not hurt her as his fingers brush against her cheeks when it sets on nicely. The prototype didn't have the white covers over the eyes since you couldn't see through those so it was perfect for tonight.

"Do you have a mask? What if someone recognises you out there?" She asks him warily and he pecks her nose, taking out his prototype mask as well. 

"Found my old mask so I'll wear this. Though I was thinking about wearing Hazel's mask-"

"-you won't be able to breathe in that! Wear this, let's just hope everyone is too busy to pay attention to us." He chuckles and carries the pumpkin bowls as they left his room to set one outside his door and one outside his girl's door. She ran to put a sign next to the bowls so anyone who passes by could grab one chocolate.

"Ready to go beautiful?" Aidan smiles as he holds his hand out for (y/n) to grab and she grins, taking hold of his hand as he pulls her to the elevator. He entwines his fingers with hers the entire time from coming out of the elevator and into the car, from the car ride to the streets that were filled with families trick or treating. He holds her tight as they walked down the road after they got out of the car, his chest warm with happiness at how excited his girl was to finally go trick-or-treating for the first time ever.

"Let's go!" She exclaims, holding her bag as they went down house by house to get chocolate after she says the phrase. There were some moments where the treaters were going to comment how his girl was too old to go trick or treating and the brunette would glare at them from behind her, hands in his pockets and eyes narrowed in a deadly stare and they don't say anything.

He was not going to let anyone upset her.
