What they are handing out is based on the old man who lived next to me, and what he would hand out on Halloween.

R.I.P George. (You're widowed wife is still a bitch though lol)

F U C K THE SLOWBURN. I WANT THE CLIMAX SOON BECAUSE ITLL SHATTER VEE'S HEART. >:)

and also bc Scarian Wedding. 

Please be aware that, in the universe this takes place in, it has the legal age for alcohol consumption at 18. No one (Hels) is committing a crime as horrid as underage drinking.

TW: Alcohol consumption and mentions, 

-----------

[Xemon POV]

"Kiss me then."

I was joking, obviously, but he'd gone all red.

"I'm jokinG-"

"You sure?"

"Yeah, dumbass." 

He's physically deflated.

Did he actually want to kiss me???

And he's wrapped around me more.

I'm trapped.

And tired.

Fuck this-

I'm going to sleep.

----

Okay so, since Hels and I don't work today, he ended up staying over.

Mainly because he didn't want to move me, I think-

I don't know, but at around noon he finally left to get into his villainy outfit. We're going to meet up at the cafe later on. 

We need to get there early, so V and Evelyn can explain what we're doing.

Basically, I think we're handing out pastries and candy. 

----

We're here, and I was kinda right. We're also handing out sodas, alcohol for the adults, and bags of oreos and other sweet foods. 

Evelyn loves to go all out it seems, since I guess she's rich?

Hels and I are arguing over who's more popular, which he says is me, I say it's him. 

He's been a villain for longer, so more people are likely to know him.

"The actual night starts in half an hour." Evelyn warns, and some of the other's head outside.

----

"So, y'all are doing this again." Leon--Leaf Dude-- asks, speaking with Evelyn and Grian.

"Yeah. We do this every year. Besides the kids love it, and we get more customers within the next few days for our Halloween treats." Evelyn says, before Grian pipes up.

"And I get to scare kids!" 

"And Gri gets to scare kids." Evelyn says with a sigh, scratching her neck. 

We've been having quite a few people come over here. Luckily, we live near a ton of houses, but they just haven't made their way over here yet. 

I don't exactly want to interact with kids. 

----

I take it back.

Because there's a kid dressed like me and I love it. 

He's so adorable. I wonder if there'll be a kid dressed as X, or Hels. 

I wonder who else I know will have someone dressed as them. 

We've mostly gotten adults, probably because of the alcohol, but the few kids we've seen have been adorable. 

There was one as Joey, or rainbow dude, he's apparently a popular villain.

One as this one elk hero from the town over. I don't know his name, and I don't care for it. 

That kid's younger brother was as well, Elk dude's brother. I really want to meet him now. He sounds cool. Wonder if he'll come to our cafe.

----

The night's almost over, I'm pretty sure Hels is drunk, and most of the other's have left. Only myself, the new dude--Doc, Hels, V and Evelyn are left. 

Grian and Scar left an hour ago, because Grian had to preen his wings, Badtimes hadn't even showed up, and Zed had left to hand out candy at his place. [Whoever he lived with had taken a break and asked him to take over.] 

Hels is leaning on my side. He's probably going to end up at my place after this. I don't trust him going home drunk. 

"Xem?" 

"Yeah, 'Els?"

"You're pretty."

"Thank you?"

"And beautiful, and lovely, and I love you."

And he's rambling-

Wait.

Did he just-

Ujfhbdcnjksjhfhdncmxzsdbncxdxm.

He's cuddling into me now. 

----

It took awhile, but Hels and I finally made it to my apartment. 

He's still clinging onto me, and he's been mumbling about how he loves me and how amazing I look.

I hope he doesn't remember this in the morning. 

----

I've put on a Halloween movie for background noise, Hocus Pocus. Hels has claimed a spot on the couch, and I'm getting him a glass of water.

I'd like him to sober up sooner than later. But, knowing him, he'll ignore the water.

"Xemmm?"

"Yes, Hels?" I've only been gone for a minute.

"Cm'ereeee"

"One moment, I just need to put this glass down."

"Okay!"

----

I came back into the living area, and as soon as I was within reach, Hels pulled me into his lap.

"Mine."

"What-?"

"You're mine."

Can someone explain why Hels is being so possessive now-???

Eh, he's comfy though, so I can't complain.

Did he just-

He's kissed my forehead.

--------------------------------

did you think THAT was the kiss? nah.

-----------------------

I've looked up at him, and he's looking back at me, smiling softly.

"Love you Xem."

AND HE ACTUALLY FUCKING KISSED ME.

It feels normal to kiss him holy shit.

I'm too gay for my own good.
