🍁 Autumn & Halloween Prompt List 🎃
It's about to get spoopy up in here. We wanted to do something special not only to celebrate everyone's favorite season but also to honor the amazing writers and creators on Tumblr.
Most of us are creators of some kind — whether that be writers, gifmakers, or artists — and this time of year is hard. We start running into fatigue + the scariest thing during the whole Halloween season: creator's block.
✨ Cue the prompt list ✨
This prompt list is split into three groups: dialogue, scenario, and NSFW prompts. Each section has 31 prompts which are sorted with more general autumn themes first and Halloween-specific prompts after that.
A HUGE HUGE thank you to Shawni (@austin-butlers-gf), Sage (@fangirlwithasweettooth), Kenzie (@fangirl-imagines), & Gabby (@dontbesussis) for helping to create this lovely list!
Feel free to reblog + use for whatever it is that you create and post here on Tumblr! Happy Halloween and enjoy 👻 ♥️
Tumblr media
DIALOGUE

“You have a leaf in your hair.”
“You’re shivering.”
“Why don’t you take off that mask? I’d like to see your face.”
“You’re scared of that, really?”
“That’s your favorite candy? You have shit taste.”
“Promise not to laugh at me if I scream.”
“My friend abandoned me at this Halloween party and I don’t know anyone. But you look as miserable as I feel.”

“Oh, I see. Is someone a little scared?”
“I spent so long in the darkness I’d almost forgotten how beautiful the moonlight is.”
“You’re the devil in disguise.”
“Nice try. You’ll have to work harder to scare me.”
“I know you’re trying to be scary, but you’re just way too cute.”
“I couldn’t find a costume, so I just decided to go as your [partner/bf/gf].”
“You’re a scaredy cat.” / “I am not!”
“Boo!” / “You were scarier with the mask off.”
“What are you supposed to be?” / “It isn’t obvious?”
“Ew candy corn?” / “What? This candy is hated for no reason. It’s good!”
“That kind of scared me.” / “Don’t worry, I’ll protect you.”
“Kill me now and put me out of my sugar-fueled misery.” / “I told you to slow down.”
“Come on, it’s just a haunted house! It’ll be like a walk in the park.” / “More like a walk through hell.”
“There’s literally one candle flickering mysteriously. In what universe would I go over there?” / “Is that…a no, then?”
“Well, it is a seance.” / “Good thing the person I want to see is already here.”
“Oh no. You are not wearing the same costume as me! You can’t!” / “Well I did.”
“Ooh very scary!” / “That’s not part of the costume, dumbass.”
“You could have been a prince(ss).” / “Well, I wanted to be a(n) [insert costume] instead.”

Hello! I ABSOLUTELY 💖 LOVED 💖 the oneshot you had written for me, so can I please request one more? I promise that'll be the last one 😄 So, Vergil x fem! reader watching a scary movie in the thunderstorm and it... illogically but very much scares Vergil? "you're like the toughest person i know! am i really supposed to believe that a horror film is enough to have you cowering into my lap?"
I'm really happy you liked it. Writing these fall fics brings me so much comfort. You can have as many requests as you want toots. The event lasts till the end of October. 💕
PS.: Hope it's not a problem I used the sentence a little differently in this scenario
Tumblr media
The suspense was killing him.
The character was walking down the long dark hallway in silence with only eerie music keeping them company. How could they not see this is not going well...
When you invited him for a horror movie night, Vergil wasn't sure what to expect. Hi didn't expect the movie to shook him like this. With all that went through in his life, he was sure than a little fake blood was not going to phase him. You, the sneaky you didn't pick the gory type of movie. Instead, you went with psychological thriller type of movie and Vergil learned the hard way that story does not have to have violence and death to sent your skin crawling.
The movie character started writhing and screaming in panic as an invisible force twisted their limbs ond threw them in the air. Vergil winced at their horrified screams and turned his head away from TV to you. You were bundled up in your blanket, chewing on popcorn, eyes fixed on the screen.
Bloody hell, he won't be the one asking for comfort he won't...
At that exact moment a lightning struck right in front of your living room window, illuminating the entire room in ghostly white and seconds after that, the ever-so-familiar roar of thunder swept through the block. You let out a loud screech and Vergil practically jumped at the sound.
"Sorry! Sorry! That was...uh-" You winced at another sound of thunder, visibly burrying into your blanket.
"Crap, that scared the shit outta me."
"You mean to tell me that all this time you watched this movie without so much as twitch and rainstorm makes you jump out of your skin?"
You shrug, "Well, the things in the movie are not real but the storm is."
"Speaking of, how come you're the Alpha and Omega and shiver in front of jumpscare?"
Vergil grumbled.
"Awe, come here." You pat his lap. Vergil glares at you but complies, setting his head on your thight as you ran your hand through his hair.

OCTOBER PROMPTS 🎃 — 8. Hector
Tumblr media
A/N: the way I always had something in the drafts to write for my beloved man like back during the summer time. The universe had other plans and what better time than to revisit this episode on Halloween! I think this is my first time ever writing on the day of this superior season?! Happy Halloween people 🧡 🪄
WARNINGS: language + hints of sexual tension 😅
PROMPT is from HERE + I’m using: “I love you, I swear I do but we’re not wearing matching costumes.”
₊˚ ✧ ♱‧₊˚. ₊˚ ✧ ♱‧₊˚. ₊˚ ✧ ♱‧₊˚. ₊˚ ✧ ♱‧₊˚. ₊˚ ✧ ♱‧₊˚. ₊˚
[~October. 2000’s~]
Oh the wonders of being a big time celebrity during the month of Halloween. That’s right, a whole entire month! Which felt like so because you were constantly in the limelight with people not only dissecting your love life but also your roles which consisted of either being the lead scream queen in a thriller series, supporting actress in horror movies, and also being the star drummer (on some Sheila E shit!) and backup singer of a Alt-Pop girl band on the side.
So yes, you stayed busy and were worth talking about.
“Whatever you decide to be this year has to be big. I mean Destiny’s child, Britney Spears, Zac and Vanessa, and Halle Berry are all gonna be here at your party this year.��� Your manager/publicist ranted as she paced the floor in your open concept closet.
You’re lounging on your studded chaise lounge chair, texting away on your blackberry while chewing on some gum, half listening, “Halle’s my god-mom, of course she will be here to support but who else is on this list exactly?”
“I invited pretty much everyone, the hottest stars even those who may or may be in your age range. It doesn’t matter! As long as you get good pics that brings fresh press.” Natania voiced as she began flipping through a notepad.
You hum knowing the deal, considering you’ve been in the limelight since you were fourteen so this was not anything entirely new. “I’ve got the perfect outfit for Hector and I.”
Natania glances up from writing, “funny you mention him after I say press.”
“Him has a name and who also happens to be my boyfriend?”
“Don’t remind me,” Natania mutters, “and just to think you could still be with Taylor Lautner right now. His stats are only climbing after ‘Breaking Dawn Part I,’ dropped and I can only imagine how much more attention he’s gonna get.”
Shrugging your shoulders you say, “I’ve got more than enough attention with and without a guy by my side. It was fun while it lasted but as soon as he booked the role for twilight, the distance just grew. It was all only a matter of time.”
At sixteen and seventeen years old you got into a relationship, naturally with who everyone may know as Jacob Black but he was just Taylor to you. You met way back in a martial arts class that your uncle actually taught but you didn’t end up sticking with it thanks to a tv series you booked. You met again not long after at a audition for “Sharkboy and LavaGirl.”
“Well the both of you could have at least faked it for a little!” Natania almost stomped her feet before sighing, “I mean Taylor still talks highly about you although you decided to pick a old paparazzi instead as your new fling.”
“I wouldn’t expect him to say anything less,” you blinked, “wasn’t a bad break up anyway and I don’t pay you to make judgements on who I date. I pay for you to manage my career, not my personal life, sooo mind yours.”
Natania rolled her eyes beneath her glasses, “whatever, you’re right. I’m just saying you could have done better. There’s just something off about him—Hector and not the whole follow people like you around for cash either.”
“Nat!” You hissed, “shut up already, hector’s coming over, he’s gonna be at that party with me and that’s that. When’s the stylist coming over?”
Natania puts on a forced smile and glances at the watch on her wrist, “in about a hour.”
“Great! Hector says he’ll be here in fifteen so that gives us a little down time. You can let yourself out whenever you’re ready.” You state laying back to rest your eyes.
You’ve been up since six thirty this morning doing a extreme workout routine you didn’t like with a trainer who took it too seriously. You were more of a cardio person than juggling ropes, jumping and squatting, and flipping over tires.
Soon the door bell rings and you pry one eye open to see the monitor by the door glowing, making you aware who it could be. Groaning you took your time getting closer to the screen, seeing no one there. Shrugging to yourself, you plopped down on the lounge just as your closet door budged open revealing your stylist and no other than your boyfriend, Hector.
Lounging on your elbows you smile and wave at the two.
“No, please. Don’t get up, I got it.” Your stylist wheeled in a rack while you laughed at the usual sarcasm.
“Hey, baby.” You craned your neck to meet Hector’s lips as he leaned over you in greeting before sitting next to you, “what happened to fifteen minutes?”
Hector laughs, rubbing at the back of his neck, knowing that he was late, “traffic? Even on my bike and Hunger…”
You hum at this.
“Just burgers.” Hector whispers as you shrug your shoulders.
You knew what it was like, actually dating someone in the supernatural world. It could always go one or two ways and of course there were heavy rumors surrounding Hector since he was there at the time of Mazey Day’s death. He should have been dead—especially with the amount of damage done to his body, you knew what he and Bo were up to and the pictures Bo showed you was not something you would forget.
However Hector was meant to live and see it through…and he did with the help of your family.
They got to him first.
That’s right, a long history of, “werewolf or wolf training,” depending on which form. You had more experience with simply wolfs while the higher skilled like your parents and siblings dealt with the werewolf’s. Due to your involvement with the spotlight you didn’t have much time for…family activities but you weren’t completely clueless.
If you were able to get to Mazey Day in time, perhaps things could have been different. No one really knew and some still didnt accept what it was.
Werewolves were fucking real and you so happened to be dating one.
“Soooo,” you drag pushing yourself up once more to face Hector with a tired smile, “I’ve got an idea of what we should be for Halloween.”
“Aw but you didn’t see what Freddie brought yet.”
“Oh it’s in there alright,” you push off the chair to head over to Freddie who has measuring tape draped over his shoulders.
You do the honors of taking the protective cover off the clothes and run your fingers over the various fabrics, “we have DoubleDare contestants from the 90s, or you can be Cupid and I’ll be a large fuzzy heart, or my personal fav: little red riding hood and her werewolf of a grandmother.”
Hector blinks after briefly studying the costumes and says, “I love you, I swear I do but we’re not wearing matching costumes.”
“Uh oh,” Freddie mutters while you frown at the curly haired man.
“And why the hell not? The last option is the best one.”
“I get that one,” Hector replies with a knowing look in his dark eyes, “but don’t you think it’s a little…corny?”
“We’re supposed to be corny! You’re my boyfriend and I’m your girl.” Digging your fists into your hips and peer at Hector who snorts.
“Yeah but—
“At least try it on! I mean if we’re gonna be at my party together shouldn’t we at least match?”
Hector lightly grips your wrist to pull you from Freddie’s ear shot, “it’s gonna be a full moon that night.”
“Even better.”
“For who? Not me.”
“It’s been a year already,” you slip your hand down to squeeze his, “you’re gonna be fine.”
“That’s not what your mom believes.” Hector’s shoulders almost slump, which irritates you, the fact that your mother was always getting into his head was not something foreign to you but when she started to do it to people you cared about, that’s when it became a problem.
“Newsflash, she doesn’t know everything like she claims.”
“I mean I should listen to her since…”
“Since she’s more skilled than me? Ah alright well I get it. Look, I’m not gonna peer pressure you. I just know I wouldn’t have you here if I didn’t think you could handle it. We’d take all the proper precautions a few days before just like I planned but if you really don’t feel comfortable…we’ll just make sure to take the pictures in advance and we’ll go from there.”
Hector studies you then. He knew that it was hard to be around each other sometimes whenever the moon shifted. He was thankful he got another chance at life…sure but life just become a whole lot more difficult now with this new lifestyle and being legit involved with someone in the public eye. No doubt he’s thought about it before but never pictured it happening and Bo also told him it was a bad idea after figuring out that he basically resurrected and could transform into a hairy ass creature!
You lived one way and he lived another, there were contrasts to you just like the sun and the moon, the pair of you worked taking turns to let the other breathe separately. Space was efficient when it came to your relationship but when you were together? That opened up a whole new feeling. A scary one. He wasn’t sure if this relationship would be long term but he had the chance to see you for what you are beyond the lights and that was a treat in itself.
He exhales, lifting a hand to cup the side of your face, “…let’s try these costumes on then.”
And you squeal, hopping into his arms and he holds onto you as you lock your legs around his hips, his beaming smile meeting yours as you peck all along his handsome face.
“We look foolish,” Hector comments as he readjusts the gingham hat on top of his head while you stand side by side in a full length mirror.
You laugh as you wrap your arms around the curly haired man in the floral green nightgown, “correction: we look fine as hell.”
“Fine enough to where I don’t need to spend two hours sitting in a chair having ass cramps and getting wolf prosthetics on?” Hector slips on his circular glasses and peeks over them at your reflection.
Red was certainly your color.
You snort, “you could always let the moon do it’s thing.”
“That’s not even funny.”
Pressing your chin against the back of his shoulder you say, “Wanna give me a little snarl or something?”
Hector sends you a pointed look as you trail one hand up to twist one of his damp curls, “Oh Granny, what pretty curls you have.”
“All the better for you to tug my dear,” Hector begins to play along.
A smirk makes its way onto your red painted lips, “Oh granny, what a beautiful face you have.”
“All the better for you to,” Hector starts before quickly twisting his body to yank you tight against his body, “sit on.”
You see the specs of ember swirling in Hector’s ink eyes now and you know you were pushing it as the length of his nails began to poke at the fabric of your red hood.
He then places a open mouthed kiss to your beating throat, “you didn’t say anything about my teeth.”
Standing up some with your hands locked around his neck now, you lean just a bit closer so that your forehead presses against Hector’s; you reply just as some knocks sounded at your closet door, “Now that’s satire.”
Hector let’s out a small laugh as you untangle yourself from his grasp to get the door, making a show of pointing the makeup artists in his direction only.
With your confidence in him and against the full moon, Hector can’t help but to shrug his shoulders and take a seat peeking at the face he got used to over the years. Somehow even this skin felt different and not just the scars embedded.
He just hoped you were right but knew he wouldn’t hear the end of it.
Well…here’s to a new change of course for Halloween! That might actually be terrifying but as long as he had you on his team, his doubts and speculations from outsiders—which he used to be—didn’t seem to matter as much anymore.
₊˚ ✧ ♱‧₊˚. ₊˚ ✧ ♱‧₊˚. ₊˚ ✧ ♱‧₊˚. ₊˚ ✧ ♱‧₊˚. ₊˚ ✧ ♱‧₊˚. ₊˚
Continue along with my fall anthology prompts here.

"No."
"But..."
"No. If you wear that we are taking separate vehicles and I have never met you before."
"Cool, I can get behind some roleplay. I get to pick you up again."
"What!? No! That isn't what I meant."
"So that's a no to the roleplay?"
"Fine. But you better bring your A game this time around. I won't be so easy this time."
"Are you insulting me or yourself?"
"I'm not sure."

I am new, and I don't understand your helloween prompt challenge can you please explain
Absolutely! It’s super simple - or at least that’s the goal. Any one who wants to write a short story for the prompt Obi-Wan finds a window that lets him see the dead on the other side can be a part of the event. Write a fic under 1000 words and post it to the the Obi-Wan Halloween 2023 Prompt Challenge collection on ao3. That’s it! There’s no other restrictions. Have fun with it and take it wherever you want to go!
Tumblr media
Right now the collection is “unrevealed”. Works that have been submitted currently show as "mystery works" available soon. You can submit your fic anytime between now and 10/31. On Halloween the works will all be revealed so that we have a collection of spooky Obi-Wan fics to read. I’m not a Halloween person, so this is my contribution to the day. I’m sure there will be as many cool, different takes as there are contributors, and I’m excited to see what everyone comes up with!
I hope this answers your question! If not, feel free to drop another ask - I’ll do my best to clarify!

Hey, babes!
Apparently, I'm just shy of 600 followers, and true to tradition, that means I'm doing another prompt challenge!
And since it's October, I thought of maybe turning this into a Halloween themed challenge? I mean, why not 😊
So, if you wanna help me celebrate:
Pick one or more of the prompts below, or make up your own.
Let me know if you have a specific Pedro character in mind, otherwise I'll pick whichever one I feel is the best fit.
Either comment on this post with your picks, or send me an ask.
My goal for this challenge will be to try and write short stories, 600 words or less, which I already know I'm gonna fail spectacularly at 🤣 but it'll be a good exercise anyway!
Thank you to everyone who follows me and/or reads my stories, I will love you forever whether I know you or not. ❤️
Now let's have some fun!
Tumblr media
Did you hear that?
What's with all the candles?
You're supposed to carve the pumpkin, not crush it.
It's so dark outside...
Why are you covered in sparkly pink dust?
I want to believe.
I never should've listened to you.
Is that a carousel?
Don't go in there!
Did your brain fall out somewhere on the way home?
I don't know what happened.
How did you do that?
This is stupid...
Let's get the hell out of here.
I swear I'm not drunk.
God, that stinks!
Well, that's not worrying at all...
What happened to the toaster?
You scared the shit out of me!
Can we just go home and have sex now?
That's all I can think of right now, but like I said, feel free to hit me with whatever else you can come up with!

Scaredy Cat | vampire!Austin x reader
Your boyfriend takes you to a haunted house on Halloween.
a/n: Happy spooky season! In case y'all haven't heard, my dear friend Mila (@sassy-ahsoka-tano) posted an awesome list of Autumn/Halloween prompts! Here’s a lil blurb based on these prompts:

You can’t help but startle as Austin swoops in behind you as you’re in the middle of making final adjustments to your costume, his fangs playfully exposed over your neck.
“Boo,” he says with a soft laugh, pressing a soft kiss to your neck before resting his chin on your shoulder and wrapping his arms around your waist.
You laugh, turning to press a kiss to his cheek. Austin has always looked forward to Halloween, you know, it being a time where he didn’t have to worry about hiding his fangs or covering his bloodred eyes with colored contacts.
“I know you’re trying to be scary, but you’re just way too cute,” you smile.
“Hey! I can be very scary!” he whines.
“You’re right, I’m sorry,” you assure him teasingly, meeting his eyes in the mirror, “you’re my big bad vampire boyfriend and you’re very scary.”
“Darn right,” he mumbles, and you can feel his smile as he peppers kisses across your cheek, “Ready to go?”
You give your costume a once-over in the mirror, making sure Austin didn’t smudge your eyeliner-drawn whiskers and adjusting your cat ear headband one last time before nodding an affirmative.
•••
You’re still not quite sure how Austin talked you into this, but as he leads you with the gaggle of Halloween celebrators up to the haunted house, the contagious excitement you feel begins to give way to dread. He’s been busy making conversation with people, many of whom are complimenting his “costume” and the two of you are nearly at the entrance when he picks up on how your steps have slowed, and he stops. 
“Hey, what’s up?” He asks, turning to look at you and taking in the slight nervousness in your features. He squeezes your hand, teasing, “Come on, it’s just a haunted house! It’ll be like a walk in the park.”
His light tone calms your nerves somewhat, but a shudder still runs through you as you glance up at the shadowy house and take in the screams coming from it. 
“More like a walk through hell,” you mutter.
“Hey,” he pulls you closer, red eyes soft, “We don’t have to go in if you really don’t want to.”
You open your mouth to assure him that no, you actually do want to go in, but instead find yourself jumping at a particularly high-pitched scream, much to your boyfriend’s amusement.
“You’re a scaredy-cat,” he chuckles, flicking one of your fuzzy ears teasingly as he presses a kiss to your forehead.
“I am not!” you scowl, a pout forming on your face.
“Don’t worry,” he says, slinging a protective arm around your shoulders and pulling you close, “I’ll make sure nothing gets you while we’re in there.”
Though his tone is teasing, you know he means it. You lean into him, smiling, and allow him to lead you into the house.

Hey! Would anyone be interested in a fall themed Pedro Pascal/his characters writing contest - like a one shot short story with a word limit? I have a cool format if there would be people interested.

31 Prompts for October: Horror
Day 2: Hospital/Medical Horror
Tumblr media
The Diagnosis
Dr. Lee was a brilliant neurosurgeon, but he had a dark secret. He enjoyed experimenting on his patients, altering their brains in subtle ways to see how they would react. He would implant electrodes, inject chemicals, or remove parts of their cortex, and then observe the changes in their behavior, memory, or personality. He kept meticulous records of his experiments, but he never shared them with anyone. He considered himself a pioneer of neuroscience, and his patients were his guinea pigs.
One day, he received a new patient, a young woman named Anna who had suffered a severe head injury in a car accident. She had a fractured skull, bleeding in the brain, and swelling of the tissues. She was unconscious and in critical condition. Dr. Lee saw this as a perfect opportunity to test his latest hypothesis: that he could create artificial memories by stimulating certain regions of the brain.
He took Anna to the operating room and performed a craniotomy, opening her skull and exposing her brain. He then attached electrodes to various parts of her temporal lobe, where the memory centers are located. He used a computer to send electrical impulses to the electrodes, creating patterns of activity that mimicked the formation of memories. He fed Anna false information, such as her name, her family, her occupation, and her hobbies. He also implanted some disturbing images, such as scenes of violence, torture, and death. He wanted to see how she would react when she woke up.
He finished the operation and closed her skull. He moved her to the recovery room and waited for her to regain consciousness. He was eager to see the results of his experiment.
A few hours later, Anna opened her eyes. She looked around the room, confused and scared. She saw Dr. Lee standing next to her bed, smiling.
“Hello, Anna,” he said. “How are you feeling?”
“Who are you?” she asked.
“I’m Dr. Lee, your neurosurgeon. You had a serious accident, but you’re going to be fine.”
“Where am I?”
“You’re in the hospital. You’ve been here for a few days.”
“What happened?”
“You were in a car crash. You hit your head very hard. You don’t remember?”
Anna tried to recall the accident, but she couldn’t. She felt a surge of panic.
“No,” she said. “I don’t remember anything.”
Dr. Lee nodded.
“That’s normal,” he said. “You have some memory loss due to the injury. But don’t worry, it’s temporary. Your memories will come back soon.”
He lied.
He knew that Anna’s memories were gone forever. He had erased them and replaced them with his own creations.
He decided to test her further.
“Do you remember your name?” he asked.
“Anna,” she said.
“That’s right.”
“Do you remember your family?”
She hesitated.
“I have a… husband?” she said.
“Yes,” he said.
“And a… daughter?”
“Yes.”
“What are their names?”
She frowned.
“I don’t know.”
Dr. Lee smiled.
“That’s okay,” he said. “You’ll remember soon.”
He lied again.
He knew that Anna didn’t have a husband or a daughter. He had made them up.
He continued to ask her questions about her life, her work, her hobbies. She answered some of them correctly, but most of them wrong. She was confused and frustrated by the gaps in her memory.
Dr. Lee pretended to be sympathetic and reassuring, but inside he was delighted by his success. He had created a new person out of thin air.
He decided to push her further.
“Do you remember this?” he asked, showing her a picture on his phone.
It was one of the images he had implanted in her brain: a man being tortured by a masked figure with a chainsaw.
Anna gasped and recoiled.
“No!” she screamed. “What is that?”
Dr. Lee watched her reaction with interest.
“It’s nothing,” he said calmly. “Just a random image I found on the internet.”
“Why did you show me that?” she asked, trembling.
“I wanted to see if you recognized it.”
“Why would I recognize it?”
Dr. Lee shrugged.
“Maybe you saw it somewhere before.”
“No,” she said firmly. “I’ve never seen anything like that before.”
She lied.
She had seen it before: in her nightmares.
She didn’t know why she had such horrible dreams every night since she woke up in the hospital. She dreamed of blood and pain and death, things that she had never experienced in real life. She dreamed of being chased by monsters, being stabbed by knives, being burned by fire. She dreamed of killing people she didn’t know, people who begged for mercy as she sliced them open with a scalpel.
She hated those dreams. They made her feel sick and guilty and afraid.
She didn’t know that those dreams were not dreams at all. They were memories.
Memories that Dr. Lee had planted in her brain.
Memories of his other experiments.

For the spardatober post!
What do you mean you’ve been trick or treating + halloween party + thunderstorm
For dante please 💖
Ooooh, this is cute 🥰
Tumblr media
"What do you mean you've never been trick-or-treating??"
At Dante's perplexed question, you only gave a shrug.
"I'm from Europe, remember? We don't celebrate Halloween."
He put a hand over his hard in a melodramatic fashion and gasped, "Blasphemy!"
You laughed, truly amused by this man's antics.
"What can I say? I'm just an average man, with an average life, I work from 9 to 5, hell yeah I pay the price..." You raised your hands in defeat.
It was Dante's turn to laugh. He'll always thanks his lucky starts that he found someone with your sense of humor.
"Well, you won't have to distress for long, 'cause we're going out!"
"When?"
"Now!"
"Now? But..." You looked up at him from your spot on the couch, wrapped in a blanket, snacks on the table, and movie prepared. "What about..." you gestured towards the TV.
"We can make out on the couch with a random movie in the background every other day of the year. You can only get spooky two days in a year, three if you party extra hard." The red devil winked at you cheekily.
You let yourself be dragged out of the blankets, your jacket being sloppily thrown on your person, and your scarf being wrapped around you very creatively - with Dante putting one end on your shoulder and then spinning you around. You don't even know how you got into the car, but there was Dante already rowing the engine, with a fistful of candy he grabbed from the coffee table. He put the sweets on your lap and instantly grabbed one as he drove out into the city with wild steering.
Instead of raising any protests, you put a chocolate lolly in your mouth and looked out of the window at the city that started to wake like a creature of the night. Billboards and neon lights glowed at you, and there was a pumpkin on every corner, and streets were filled with crowds dressed in costumes.
"Where are we going?" You turned to Dante who turned stopped at the traffic and used that opportunity to turn on the radio.
"First, we'll get you a costume. I know a perfect place," he finally settled on the station where one song just ended and This is Halloween started playing. "Then, we'll trick-or-treat of course!"
In this town, we call home, everybody hails to the pumpkin song.
"We'll really have to step up our game if we want decent candy. I always put effort into my costume even when I was dirt poor. Can't stand all these brats in half-assed costumes thinking they deserve Snickers. Pickachu hoodie is NOT a costume." Dante gestured with his hands, letting the steering wheel live its own life.
"Hold the wheel, sweets." You pleaded with him. "anything else I should know about the secret art of asking for candy?"
"Nah, you'll be fine. I'm sure they'll eat out of your hands." The man gave you a besotted look. You felt your heart keen a little at that.
You arrived at a row of terraced houses with all of them having display windows with some business going on in them. Despite all of them having some sort of Halloween decor, you've guessed the shop you're heading to immediately.
Red-bricked, slim building with wooden doors and display windows pressed right against them. The display window was stuffed with autumn-themed and Halloween-themed decorations of all kinds and even had a fierce witch costume display on a mannequin. There were three small steps leading towards the door with a pair of curling iron railings. There were two massive grinning pumpkins on each side at the bottom of the steps, the railing was decorated with autumn leaf garlands with fairy lights, and the door itself was a picturesque vision of a small canopy and ornate lamp hanging right above them, with another row of the garland curling all around them.
You were too busy taking in all of it, you didn't notice Dante pressing the doorbell. A young, petite girl with striking ginger hair and a gentle smile opened the door.
"Oh, hi Dante."
"Hi Erin I need your help. This person right there," he said with a serious tone as he put his hands on your shoulders, "never been trick-or-treating."
The girl's eyes widened. "Heavens..."
"So," Dante continued, both thoroughly enjoying your embarrassment, "I made it my duty to introduce her to the Halloween spirit - you." He gestured towards Erin.
Erin nodded, "This is serious matter now. I have to find a perfect match for you."
You bury your face in your hands, "I feel like a virgin all over again."
Erin led you to the back of the shop - which was surprisingly spacious and dripping with Halloween and autumn finery of all kinds - and sat you on a cushioned chair.
Then, she pulled out a catalog and proceeded to take you through pages worth of costumes, complete with accessories and makeup. Meanwhile, Dante busied himself with a bowl of candy on the counter, leaving the choice on you."
"And he'll get costume too?" you jerked a thumb at him.
"Of course! What about couples costume?" Erin scrolled through her catalog and showed you a page with a pirate and mermaid duo. You took the booklet from her, searching through the pages. There was a loud crash coming somewhere from the shop. You looked from the direction of the sound to Erin with concern.
She gave you a reassuring smile in return, "I'll go check on him."
When Erin came back with sheepish-looking Dante, holding now empty bowl of candy, you had your choice.
"So, have you made your choice?"
You nodded excitedly and tapped on the page in the book.
After several minutes of undressing, dressing, buttoning up, fixing hair, and adjusting later, you and Dante were prepared for the Halloween night.
Erin clapped her hands excitedly.
"You look fantastic! Though...I honestly didn't think you'd make this choice." Erin put a finger on her lip and looked you up and down.
You, for once thought Dante looked rather charming in his little red hood. Erin couldn't find pants or a top to contain Dante's...assets, she did however find a pair of leather red boots and a small wicker basket. Dante was thrilled. He kept turning in front of the three-part floor-length mirror and Even asked if he could keep the boots when the night was over. With you, Erin went all off. Furry gloves, a furry dress, and a pair of wolfish ears, combined with the killer makeup. She even gave you little press-on claws and fangs.
"Be safe! And happy, happy Halloween!" Erin sing-song after you as you waved her goodbye.
With one hand holding the basket and the other holding yours, Dante led you through his favorite spots and blocks. You had to admit that trick-or-treating is a lot of fun, but if you were to do this as a kid, you'd be probably too shy to knock on random people's doors. This time, you dived fully into your big bad wolf persona and put on a show with Dante. Some people, mostly adults, gave you strange looks but gave you candy anyway.
By the time you visited the door in the area, you were so overdosed with sugar you thought you might collapse. Dante parked you on a park bench and ran off to the nearest store to buy something to drink.
Meanwhile, you watched as children in costumes slowly dissipated and slightly intoxicated in costumes grown-ups replaced them. You checked your phone. It was getting close to ten. What's taking Dante so long?
You felt a raindrop fall on your forehead, and when you looked up, you noted several raindrops to follow. You heard Dante call your name, finally getting from the store. When the few drops turned into pour, he wrapped his arm around you and led you somewhere to hide from the rain.
You both watched the increasing turrents of water from your safe spot in doorway of some building. You turned to Dante, his shaggy mane was plastered to his face, making him look like a wet dog. You outstretched your hand and brushed the hair out of his face,
"Well, what now?" You haven't aimed the question at no one in particular. Just to break the silence and spur the next course of action. But it seemed the spirit of halloween had answered your call, because somebody walked out of the door you stood next to.
A mummy, a vampire and jack skellington drunkenly sang while stumbling in the rain. Through the opened door, you faintly heard the ghostbusters theme playing. Before the door would close, Dante grabbed the handle and looked inside. You peeked down the dimly lit corridor from behind him. Lanterns and pumpkins littered the floor and walls were covered in cobwebs.
Dante turned to your with a wicked grin and you smiled back because you knew what was on his mind.
Overall, you were truly happy that Dante managed to drag you away from the coutch that night. As you swirled a glass of green cocktail with an eyeball floating in it and chatted with a girl wearing a sick demoness costume, while you watched Dante busting it out on the dancefloor to Bloody Mary you knew this'll be the night you'll remember forever.
