Pairing: Jongin/Kyungsoo
Length: 1600~w
Summary: Jongin and sehun go trick or treating and meet Tao, Jongin also meets a ghost.
"Jongin, Your friend is here" Jongin's mom calls from downstairs just as jongin pulls his costume over his head
"Coming" Jongin shouts excited and adjusts the piece of white fabric to see through the holes he cut in it. He grabs the orange bag in the corner and
runs downstairs
"Come on jongin! Mr.Kim is running out of chocolate covered oreos, We don't want to get apples like last year" Sehun whines holding his own bag
"I'm ready" Jongin says panting from the run down the stairs.
"TRICK OR TREAT"
"Oh you kids" Mr.Kim ruffles sehun's hair and drops two green apples in the children's bags, Jongin huffs disappointed.
where are the chocolate oreos?
Doesn't he at least have a snickers bar?
"I'm sorry" Mr.Kim says scrunching his eyebrows "How about i take you both to the candy shop tomorrow?"
"But tomorrow is not halloween!!"
"Do you want extra apples then?"
Jongin steps on his foot.
"TRICK OR TREAT"
"Mom there are more kids at the door" A little boy dressed as a panda shouts in chinese
"The bowl of candy is right next to the tv, Give it to them tao i'm busy"
Sehun and jongin stare at each other confused at the foreign language, Just as sehun is about to nudge jongin to leave the little boy comes back and drops half the candy in the bowl in jongin's bag and the other half in sehun's.
They decide he's their new friend
"We are definitely egging Mr.Kim's car this year!" Sehun says licking his XXXL lollipop
"That tall guy down the street's car too! What did he say? i think he was cursing in chinese"
"Well he definitely looked upset"
"He said something about tying a rope around the next kid who knocks his door's neck" Tao answers
"Well i better go warn the other kids!" jongin jumps
"No, sit down" Sehun pulls jongin down by his shoulder "He just said that because he's jealous he doesn't have any candy" Sehun says confident.
They're sitting on the sidewalk counting their candy when Tao asks what they're dressed as
"I'm a cowboy, obviously" Sehun says looking down at his dark brown cow printed vest and fake leather chaps.
"I'm a ghost!"
"I thought you were a table" Tao frowns
"He's not a table just because he's wearing a tablecloth, Don't be shallow" Sehun scolds
"I'm sorry, I guess" Tao looks down and sehun continues licking his lollipop
Jongin grabs a piece of bubble gum from sehun's hat, at one point sehun's bag got too full and he had to use his hat to collect the candy.
"Hey, that's mine!"
"But i didn't get any!"
"You finished all your chocolate, Stop eating" "You even have chocolate breath" Sehun pinches his nose in disgust making jongin pout.
"Hey guys, why don't we visit the next street?" Tao suggests greedily
"Oh no, We're not allowed"
"But why?"
"Tell him jongin"
"There's this story about a halloween ghost who lives there, I'm dressed as him!" Jongin says dumping all the candy he doesn't like in tao's bag, in exchange for his chocolate
"He sleeps all year and wakes up on halloween to freak the kids out and steal all their candy"
"That's shit!" Tao objects
"I'M TELLING MOM" Sehun gasps
Tao nearly jumps "NO NO DON'T! I'm sorry i just heard my big brother say it"
Sehun rolls his eyes "Anyway, If you want to go you can" "But jongin is staying with me" Sehun graps jongin's wrist
Jongin looks at Tao Apologetically.
"You're just a coward!"
"AM NOT! I just don't want to lose all this candy"
"Why don't we leave it here then and go, I dare you to run down that street!"
"You dare me?" Sehun gets up and stomps "I'll show you"
"And you can't take jongin!"
Sehun gulps "Fine!"
They both watch as sehun slowly stars walking to the next row of houses then starts running and disappears in a matter of seconds, Tao runs along to make sure sehun reaches the end of the street and jongin follows.
"I did it" Sehun pants
Tao drops to his knees and jongin sits on the sidewalk to catch his breath. After a few minutes they all look around, The street lamps are unlit. It's dark, They all sleep with the lights on
"BOO" A girl says terrifying the boys, Her friend next to her laughing at their faces.
"It's been 15 years since i last saw someone in a ghost costume" She mocks jongin. Jongin is pretty sure she's only 10, As old as he is. Still his bottom lip starts trembling in embarrassment.
"Oh really? Well you're princess costume looks so cheap I'm sure a witch gave it to you, I have a better one at home. With a silver tiara" Tao snaps
The girl starts sobbing slowly and her friend pats her back and walks away.
"Good going tao! why do you own a princess dress though?" Sehun asks confused and a bit disturbed
"I like dressing as a princess!"
The rustling wind makes them shiver in fear and jongin suggests going back home, A floating white thing is suddenly in front of them
Tao shrieks like a girl and runs, Sehun pulls jongin but jongin won't move as if his feet are firmly planted on the ground.
"HEY WAIT FOR ME" Sehun yells and runs after tao
"Wooooo~" Says the little boy ghost, jongin figures
"Take that off" Jongin orders, pointing at the white fabric the ghost is dressed in, And he takes it off, his small nose emphasize his big eyes jongin thinks
"You're not scared?" The ghost asks
"Why would i be? You're not scary"
The ghost pouts making jongin nervous and guilty.
"I'm jongin" He holds out his hand hoping an offer of friendship will make the ghost feel better.
"I'm Kyungsoo, I'm a ghost"
"Nice to meet you, Kyungsoo the ghost" Kyungsoo grins "Where's your candy bag?"
"I don't have one, My parents won't let me go trick or treating, They say i'll scare everyone"
"You're not scary to me, Do you want candy?" Kyungsoo nods "Let's go then, you can have mine" He grabs kyungsoo's hand but it's like grabbing air
".....You can follow me"
"I'm sorry about my friends, They're usually not this rude"
"It's okay, happens all the time"
"People run away?"
"Yeah, I think it's my ghost costume, Maybe i should stop wearing it"
Jongin giggles
"What?"
"i just.. i don't think it's the costume" he smiles at kyungsoo and kyungsoo laughs.
Jongin doesn't find his bag where he left it, Sehun he thinks.
"It's not here..." A few pieces of candy are on the ground, They must have fell out when they ran. Jongin kneels to pick them up and gather them in his hand
"This is all that's left, I'm sorry" He holds his full hands out to kyungsoo.
"Shhhhhh..." Jongin points at his mom in the kitchen making dinner, Kyungsoo nods.
Jongin points upstairs "My room is the first on the left wait for me there" He whispers
"Hey mom i'm home!"
"Oh where's sehun? i thought he was going to have dinner with us?"
"He was a little tired so he went home"
"Oh, that's too bad, What do i do with his share?"
Jongin grabs the plate without a word and runs upstairs, He must be hungry his mom thinks.
"Kyungsoo?" He says in a low voice settling the plate on his desk
"I'm right here" A voice says from up, Jongin lifts his head to find kyungsoo flying next to his lamp.
"That's so cool! I want to fly too!" Jongin says forgetting about the food he brought for kyungsoo
"Well..." Kyungsoo scratches his head "Mom says i can't carry someone for another 3 years at least, But i can try"
Jongin lifts his arms and waits for kyungsoo to carry him, Kyungsoo hugs him tight from behind and furrows his eyebrows in confusion trying hard to lift his friend off the ground. Jongin smoothes them with his finger and laughs at kyungsoo when his cheeks turn red.
"Maybe you need energy! Eat, i brought you food"
"Thank you" Kyungsoo says still a little embarrassed
"Jongin?" His mom knocks his door
"HIDE" Jongin whisper-shouts and drags kyungsoo under his bed.
"Yes mom? You can come in"
"Is everything alright?"
"Yeah i'm just eating" He shoves a spoonful of mashed potato in his mouth, regretting it later because kyungsoo probably wanted that
Kyungsoo giggles under the bed imagining how jongin looked
"..O..kay" She turns around and closes the door
Jongin sighs in relief and kneels to find kyungsoo trying hard not to laugh, They both burst out laughing after.
Jongin takes off his costume and says "I don't think i want to dress as a ghost next year"
"Why?"
"I'm a lame ghost, What kind of ghost can't fly?"
"That's okay, What kind of human is technically not alive?"
"The awesome kind" He grins, but slowly kyungsoo notices it turning into a pout.
"Is something wrong?"
"Someone made fun of me today" Jongin says in a voice kyungsoo swears breaks his dead heart
"They're just jealous, I think you and your costume are both cool"
"Really?"
"Yeah, You're nice too, no one has ever offered me their candy" He holds jongin's hand to assure him
"Thank You" Jongin steps forward and hugs kyungsoo.
They sit all night talking about their past halloween experiences, answering each others questions and planning what to do next halloween. Jongin tells him about the time he dressed as sehun and sehun dressed as him but people didn't recognize who they were, And when kyungsoo asks about his best halloween experience jongin says it was the one he went to disneyland with his family but he thinks this is his new best halloween experience. Jongin promises kyungsoo he will ask his mom where the pictures are tomorrow and show him, And he will introduce him to Sehun and Tao. Kyungsoo promises that tomorrow he and jongin will fly. But when tomorrow comes Kyungsoo is nowhere to be found.
8 Years later, When jongin is 18 and his halloween no longer consists of trick or treating but instead parties he spends the night at Tao's house with all his friends, Not just Tao and Sehun. Jongin is standing at a corner, one memory itching at his head he just can't seem to remember, The music pounding in his ears isn't helping either, He's startled by a familiar face, round eyes reflecting something unordinary, And something tells jongin
this boy didn't get any candy this halloween.
"Hi, I'm Jongin"
"I'm Kyungsoo, have we met before?"
"......I-OH MY GOD"
