Haru and Tokaku go trick or treating
"I'm not going, you can go by yourself."
"Come on, I can't go by myself I need you to come with me, Tokaku-san. Please, oh please, you know I love Halloween!"
"Well I don't. You know I don't even celebrate Halloween or any other holidays. I'm an assassin not some kid who loves trick or treating."
"If you go with me I'll leave you alone for the rest of the week, deal?"
Tokaku sighed and replied," Fine let's go get this over with."
Haru got excited and hugged her girlfriend tightly and kissed her lips numerously. Haru grabbed her costume and went to the bathroom to change. She came outside and wore a bunny outfit. She spun around and jumped cheerfully.
"Well, what do you think? Kawaii?"
"Definitely kawaii," chuckled Tokaku.
"And where is your costume, Tokaku-san?"
"I don't do costumes, sorry. I'll go with my usual clothes on."
"Aww that's no fun. You have no Halloween spirit."
"Yeah I know, I'm an assassin, that's my costume. Is that fine?"
"Well I guess you are wearing a costume."
"Good. Now grab your Halloween bag and let's go."
Tokaku and Haru walked down the stairs from Myojo Academy and exited the building. They walked around the streets and saw many other people dressed up with some amazing designs on their costumes. Tokaku couldn't help but laugh at how Haru jumped up and down like a bunny.
"Already hyper?"
"No, as I'm wearing a bunny outfit I have to act like a bunny."
Tokaku knew she couldn't allow Haru to go trick or treating by herself. Someone might try to do harm on her. But aside from that, Tokaku was having some fun.
They walked near houses that had people giving out candy and even chips and drinks. People of all ages were there walking around and getting as much candy as they could. A lot of children were running around and laughing as they collected candy. Haru was like that except for the running, she walked instead. She placed her bag in front of the person giving out candy so he could drop one inside.
"Hm? Aren't you a little too old to go trick or treating?" asked the man as he hesitantly held the candy firmly in his hand.
"Huh? Of course not. I'm still a kid. I'm only 14," pouted Haru.
The man studied Haru's appearance. A girl wearing a bunny outfit. He shrugged his shoulders and dropped the candy in the bag.
"Thank you!" said Haru politely as she rushed back to Tokaku.
Haru showed Tokaku the amount of candy she has collected so far. Tokaku was glad to see Haru celebrate her favorite holiday.
"There's so many houses giving out free candy! Come on Tokaku-san let's hurry before they run out!" said Haru as she grabbed Tokaku by the arm ad ran to get in line.
Sometimes they had to wait in line for some minutes before getting candy, other times they just ran to houses that weren't packed and get their candy.
"Tokaku-san let's go over there! Looks like the people who live in that house have made their home into a haunted house!"
"Are you sure you want to go in there? Whoa!" Tokaku was pulled quickly and she tried to keep up with Haru's fast walking. The house was decorated with fake props, skeletons hung from strings to give the house a creepy feeling and the tree was glowing with lights around it. There was also fog coming from the house, the owners really knew how to make their house scary. Someone was dressed as a scary killer and dripped with fake blood and held a chainsaw and gave every person passing by a jump scare. Children screamed in fear and even Haru got scared. But when it came to Tokaku's turn, she merely grunted. They had finally reached to the person giving out candy. Haru got her little bag of candy and thanked the person. Tokaku followed her and grabbed Haru's hand.
"Oh? Tokaku-san, did you get scared?" Haru giggled.
"Pfft! No, it wasn't even scary. But I noticed you got scared."
"Hehe, well Haru can't help it when it comes to jump scares. But as long as you're with me, I feel safe."
Tokaku smiled and kissed Haru. She grabbed her by the waist and kissed her neck. Haru snuggled with Tokaku and kissed Tokaku's cheek.
"Where shall we go next?"
"Hmm, Haru wants to go to the other side of the neighborhood! They might have creepier haunted houses!"
They walked down the other neighborhoods and saw people dressed as clowns holding fake knives and some of their masks had fake blood on it. Haru squealed and held Tokaku's arm tight. Tokaku noticed Haru closed her eyes and hesitated to move.
"What's wrong, Ichinose?'
"If there's one thing Haru fears, it's definitely clowns. They are just so creepy!"
Tokaku hugged Haru to give her comfort.
"It's like you said before. As long as I'm here, you will be safe. Besides, they're not going to actually kill you. If you want I will scare them off for you.'
Haru chuckled and poked Tokaku's cheeks.
"It's fine, Haru will be brave."
Tokaku nodded and held Haru's hand. The clowns approached them and did their best jump scares. Haru still got scared but also laughed at the same time. Tokaku kept her dead stare as the clowns passed by. They finally got out of that creepy situation and Haru began to collect her candy to every house she went. There were huge crowds of people still so Haru had to wait in line. Some people were not giving out candy, a few families had a party along with invited guests.
Tokaku and Haru were walking in a dark alley with barely any light. Haru couldn't continue walking. She told Tokaku to stop.
"What's the matter?"
"Um… it's too dark over here. Can we go walk somewhere else?"
"Ah, don't worry. I brought a flashlight, "said Tokaku as she reached into her pocket of her skirt and pulled out a flashlight.
"There, now we can continue. Get close to me and hold my hand," said Tokaku as she got herself closer to Haru. Tokaku's proximity helped to ease Haru.
The night did not last long. It was already 10:45 p.m. and people were heading home. Children got sleepy and their parents took them home. Tokaku could tell Haru was also tired.
"Hey, want to go home already?"
"Aww, Halloween ended too soon. I want to get more candy," whined Haru.
"You really love Halloween, don't you?"
"Yes, it's the best holiday of the year. I get to eat all this candy!"
"Right, just don't eat too much. You should let them last."
"Okay mom," teased Haru as she unwrapped a candy and ate it.
"In that case, let's head home now," Tokaku hugged Haru to give her some warmth. It was a cold night.
"Want candy, Tokaku-san?"
"Sure."
Haru fed Tokaku and she ate her candy in one bite. Tokaku blushed. It was so cute Haru giggled.
"Aww you're so cute when you nibble on your candy."
Tokaku mumbled and had an annoyed face as they kept walking.
"I'm not cute, I will leave you here."
Haru patted Tokaku on the head and rested her chin on Tokaku's shoulder.
"Happy Halloween, Ichinose."
"Happy Halloween, Tokaku-san."
