Pete puts up the last of the fake spider webs and takes a step back to admire his hard work.

"Look at that Patrick! I have made a masterpiece!" Pete says. He puffs his chest out with pride.

—

Pete: I have decided that it would be fun to throw a Halloween party! [grins] We've only done Christmas parties, but everyone knows a Halloween party is where it's at. [smirks] Time to get freaky! [howls like a wolf]

—

Patrick walks out from the office, dressed in a simple pirate costume. He raises an eyebrow at the decorations Pete had just finished putting up.

"Looks good Pete!" Patrick says, "now go put your costume on! Everyone will be here soon."

Pete grins and nods. He jumps off the chair and runs over to his boyfriend. He kisses his cheek and squeezes it.

"You're such a cute pirate!" Pete comments.

Patrick blushes, "I'm not cute! I'm mighty!"

"Sure sweetie."

—

Josh: [arms linked with Tyler and Jenna] So, our costume is my idea! Tyler just recently published his book Trench, and I thought it would be a good idea if we dress up as the banditos!

Jenna: It's pretty simple really! All you need is some dark green colors, or camo, and some yellow tape! [shows off her costume]

Josh: Tyler even let me hold a torch! [pulls up unlit torch] He never lets me touch dangerous things! This is going to be the best Halloween party ever!

Tyler: [smiles fondly at Josh, kisses his cheek]

Dallon parks his car and turns to the girl in his passenger seat, "you know you didn't have to come."

"I will never pass up the opportunity of seeing you in a dress and makeup Dallon Weekes. You know this."

Dallon grins, "I look good, don't I?"

The girl smirks, "fabulous darling, especially your makeup. I wonder who had gifted you with their makeup expertise."

"Hmm, well this really annoying girl named Breezy had a han-!"

The girl —Breezy— gasps, and slaps at Dallon's arm. Dallon just laughs and gently grabs her wrists to stop her attacks. The pair wrestled around with each other for a few minutes until Dallon decided it was best to go in before Pete tries to drag them in.

—

Dallon: Breezy is my best friend. Who also happens to be my ex girlfriend as well.

Breezy: We dated a while in high school and my freshman year of college. Obviously, we ended on good terms. [shrugs] The relationship just wasn't for us, and we felt more comfortable being friends.

Dallon: [grins] Can't imagine life without this one right here. [starts messing up Breezy's hair]

Breezy: [gasps] Weekes you a**!

—

Pete whistles when Dallon steps into the shop, "nice dress Daldo!"

Dallon winks and curtsies, "why thank you sir."

"What are you supposed to be?"

Dallon looks down at his torn and blood covered white gown. He looks back up and gestures to his dress along with the veil sitting on top of his head.

"Bridezilla!"

Pete nods and turns to Breezy, "and you?"

Breezy spins around in her torn up suit, "the groom who was killed by his bride."

Dallon grins, "I save her as my last victim and tear her apart with my vicious claws!"

He holds up his hands to show Pete his dark red acrylics Breezy did for his costume. Pete whistles at the nails and takes a step back, scared that they could actually scratch his eyes out.

"Nice dude!" Pete comments.

"And what are you supposed to be Pete?"

"Patrick and I are pirates!"

At the mention of his name, Patrick peeks up from behind the counter and waves at Dallon and Breezy. The pair wave back at him while checking out his costume.

"Looking good matey!" Dallon says.

Breezy rolls her eyes and grabs Dallon's wrist, "let's get some drinks Mrs. Douglas."

"We agreed on my last name!"

"I'm the groom! Suck it up!"

Pete laughs at the pair and shakes his head. His attention is taken back to the door as the bell rings and he grins bigger.

"Ryan and friends! Welcome to Pete's Spooky Ball!"

—

Z: Ryan, Spencer, and I are the masters of Halloween. [spins in her costume] I am Morticia Addams.

Ryan: [grins, gestures to his suit] I'm Gomez Addams.

Spencer: [snaps his suspenders] And I'm Pugsly.

Ryan: We tried having Spencer be Wednesday, but he wasn't budging.

Spencer: Because you would be a better Wednesday! You are basically the male version of her.

Ryan: [rolls eyes] Yeah, yeah.

—

The party was in full swing. Everyone was dancing around to spooky music and doing their best zombie dance impressions.

Ryan sat on the counter and watched Spencer spin Z around as "Ghostbusters" blasted throughout the coffee shop. He grins at the duo and takes a sip of his punch (because Pete refuses to serve him any alcoholic drinks yet due to Ryan only being twenty).

As soon as he spots Dallon struggling his way over, Ryan snorts at the taller man. The camera zooms in on Dallon attempting to walk over to him in his high heels. Ryan holds a hand out to grab him and yanks him over so Dallon could have some balance on the counter.

"You're a life saver Addams," Dallon says.

"Well, looks like the bride was already having a bad night."

Dallon snorts and takes a sip of his beer. He offers Ryan a sip, but he shakes his head. The pair sit in silence and watch everyone dance. Only sharing small talk between each other, yet it wasn't awkward small talk for them. The camera zooms in on Ryan's hand squeezing Dallon's shoulder comfortingly, Dallon's hand grabs Ryan's knee and squeezes back.

Platonically of course.

"Is Jon coming?" Dallon asks.

"He should be! He's just going to be a little late," Ryan responds.

At the sound of the door's bell chime, Ryan's head shoots up to see if Jon finally arrived.

He frowns at who he sees instead.

Brendon with his girlfriend.

"S**t," Ryan says.

—

Ryan: Oh god, which idiot invited Brendon?!

Pete: I invited Brendon! He and his girlfriend are so cute!

—

Ashley, dressed as Prince Eric from The Little Mermaid, walks over to Ryan and Dallon. Cute Flower Girl, who was dressed as Ariel, followed behind her.

"Do you want us to kick them out?" Ashley asks Ryan.

Ryan shrugs and turns to Dallon, "Dallon?"

Yet, Dallon ignores his coworkers and continues to glare at Brendon as he watches him and his girlfriend talk to Josh and Jenna. He grabs his beer and downs the rest of the drink.

He sets the bottle down and pushes everyone out of the way to grab a second drink. Ryan's eyes widen and he jumps off the counter.

"Dal-!"

"Ryan! Hey!"

Ryan turns around and smiles at who he sees.

Jon, dressed as Lurch from The Addams Family series, grins as he makes his way over the employee. He hugs Ryan tightly, that he almost forgot about his coworker's upset state.

"Hey Jon! Nice job going with the theme!" Ryan comments.

"It was either Lurch or Uncle Fester, and I am pretty sure it would be awkward to see Uncle Fester flirt with his brother," Jon says.

Ryan snorts and shakes his head. Jon grabs his hands and squeezes them gently, making Ryan blush harder than earlier. Jon leans down and his lips are brushing against Ryan's ear.

"You look really handsome Ryan," he whispers.

Ryan smiles, "and you look really spooky."

Jon snorts and throws his head back laughing. Ryan just watches fondly. Admiring the sound of Jon's laugh as it graces his ears. The man quiets down and looks back at him, he squeezes Ryan's hands again.

"Want to dance?" Jon asks.

Ryan bites his lip, looks away from Jon and over his shoulder at Dallon. His coworker is near the punch table and seems to be downing another beer, probably already his third for the night.

Ryan sighs and turns back to Jon, "I really want to dance Jon, I do, but my friend needs my hel-."

"Jon?!"

Said man turns away from Ryan and frowns at who he sees.

"Spencer?"

—

Spencer: What is my ex boyfriend doing here?

Jon: What is my ex boyfriend doing here?

Ryan: How do Jon and Spencer know each other?

Z: S**t is about to go down. [sips her punch]

—

Spencer scoffs and crosses his arms, "are you stalking me now?"

Jon glares, "trust me, I rather be with my right hand than a foot near you."

"What are you doing here then?"

"Ryan invited me!"

Spencer turns to Ryan and crosses his arms. His glare even colder when he is facing his best friend.

"How do you know this a**wipe Ryan?" Spencer asks.

Jon looks at Ryan, his stare more warm than Spencer's glare but very confused, "Ry, how do you know my ex?"

Ryan's eye widen.

—

Ryan: ...I like Spencer's ex. [groans] Spencer is going to kill me!

—

Dallon is on his third beer when things take a turn for the worst.

"Hey Dallon."

Still chugging his beer, Dallon turns around and glares at the pair behind him. He sets his drink down and crosses his arms.

"Brendon and Lady. Pleasant to see you," Dallon says. His voice thick with anger.

Brendon frowns at Dallon's tone, but brushes it off. He wraps an arm his girlfriend's waist and smiles at Dallon. It was a small and timid smile though due to the older man's intense glare.

"Dallon, this is my girlfriend Danielle."

Dallon clicks his tongue, "Danielle huh? That's pretty close to Dallon."

Danielle frowns in confusion, "what?"

Dallon just grins, "oh nothing. Nothing at all!"

Brendon frowns.

—

Dallon: Danielle, Dallon. Danielle, Dallon. [raises eyebrow, sips his drink]

—

"Well, Brendon talks about you a lot!" Danielle says, hoping for a nice conversation.

Yet, Dallon is past the point of a nice conversation.

"Of course he does. He still wants to suck my d**k."

Brendon chokes on his punch and Danielle's eyes widen. Yet, Dallon did not seem to care about their shocked reactions or how inappropriate his sentence was.

Brendon glares at him, "Dallon, what the h**l?"

"What? Have you told Danielle how much you wish you were on your knees for me?"

Brendon begins shaking, his fists are clenching, "Dallon stop. You're being mean."

The man just laughs, "right, I'm being mean?! I don't lead people on!"

"I didn't lead you on!"

Everyone's attention was now on the two boys fighting by the punch bowl. A tiny crowd forms around the two boys, but they didn't notice. Their argument was just getting more heated with each second.

"Yeah right. As soon as I start flirting back and catch feelings, you think it's fun to drag me along!" Dallon yells.

Brendon throws hands up, "that's rich coming from you!"

Dallon crosses his arms, "what are you talking about?"

"I'm not the one who likes to lead their coworkers on!"

Everyone in the crowd started mumbling in confusion except Ryan. Ryan's eyes just widened, having a pretty good idea of what Brendon could be talking about.

"Shoot, shoot," Ryan mumbles and pushes his way through everyone.

"What are you talking about?!" Dallon yells.

"You and Brian!"

"What?!"

As Ryan gets his way to the front of the crowd, Brendon points at him and yells his next sentence very loud and very clear.

"I saw you and Brian kissing!"

dun, dun, dun.

so, are we team brallon, team ryllon, or team rywalk (ryan/jon)?
