Pumpkin Party

Part One: Count Pumpkin is sleeping

"Hakushaku!" The voice that belonged to one of the Count Pumpkin's few friends woke him up from his slumber.

"Nnnn? Sakaeguchi-kun?" The defenseless-and-uke-looking Count sat up from the middle of his pumpkin patch to look up at the dressed-up-as-a-witch Wizard Master.

"Good morning, or rather, evening, Hakushaku!" Sakaeguchi Yūto sat on his broom, dressed up as a witch as usual because he was known to dislike wizard clothes, as he looked down on the Count Pumpkin.

"……" The Count looked weirdly at the Wizard Master. He always got nervous whenever he was called that. It unnerved him to no end. "Sa-Sakaeguchi-kun, pl-please don't call me th-that." The Count pleaded to his friend.

"Oh, sorry Mihashi." Sakaeguchi laughed weakly, forgetting how Mihashi Ren always got shy every time someone called him by that name. "But that's not why I'm here! You're coming tonight, right?"

"Tonight?" Mihashi tilted his head curiously, still a bit sleepy from his nap.

"Don't tell me you forgot? Abe will get angry if you did." Sakaeguchi warned him, sighing sadly. Even if Mihashi was a bit of a dunce, even he wouldn't forget the invitation they gave him at the beginning of the month. But then again, this was Mihashi. The idiot-klutz-but-still-lovable-and-cute Count Pumpkin.

"…Ah! The party! Oh, no! I forgot to look for the pumpkins I was going to bring for the party!" Mihashi stood up quickly and looked around for something. "Ai-chan! Come here girl!"

Suddenly, from between the pumpkins a small dog ran towards Mihashi, almost unnoticeable because of its fur. Sakaeguchi looked at it worriedly. He didn't get along well with dogs and was thankful to be out of the reach of it.

Mihashi caught the small dog, which had jumped onto his arms, surprising Sakaeguchi. "Thank you for waking me up Sakaeguchi-kun. I'll see you tonight." Mihashi bowed to him and ran off into the forest that was next to his pumpkin patch.

"O…kay. See you." Sakaeguchi scratched his cheek a little and went off in search of the Werewolf.
