Hey everyone. This story was written for Halloween Bingo Funfair Event on Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I used prompt 30 which was Costume. I hope you all enjoy Flint's Costume Surprise.
Marcus Flint smirked to himself as he looked around the Muggle costume store for the right one to shock his Gryffindor boyfriend, Oliver Wood. It had to be something that would both shocking and scandalous at the same time. Something that Oliver wouldn't be able to get out of his mind for days.
"Can I help you find something?" the girl behind the counter asked batting her eyelashes at him.
"I was looking for something to wear to a Halloween party," Marcus told her. "Something that would leave a definitely impression on everyone. Do you think you could help me with that?"
"I think I can definitely try," she said touching his arm and steering him in the direction of the men's costumes. "Did you have a certain theme in mind for your costume?"
"No. I...I..." he thought for a second about how to phrase what he wanted to say. "This is my first time actually buying a costume. I have no clue what to get. I wouldn't..."
"Say no more," she took something off the shelf and handed it to him.
Looking at the package he was taken aback. Why didn't he think of this first? The picture on the front was of a guy dressed in a toga. This was sure to get Wood's attention.
"I think you just solved my problem," he told her. "I'll take this one."
"Okay," she lead him back to the registers. "Let's just get you rung up here." She zapped the costume bag with what looked like hand gun. Was that Muggles called them? Yes. A hand gun. "That'll be $14.99 please."
Good thing for him Wood insisted they each keep $20 in Muggle money on them for when they went into Muggle London. Handing the girl the twenty he waited on his change which she gave him shortly there after.
After he got home he quickly changed into the costume he just bought and lounged on the couch to wait for Oliver to come home from his busy day at practice. He was in the middle of reading a book on new Quidditch moves when he heard a gear bag dropping to the floor. He looked up and smirked at the other boy's face as Wood stood transfixed to the spot.
"Gonna pick your jaw off the floor and come kiss me, baby?" he asked the shocked Oliver.
Oliver walked over and kissed Marcus passionately on the lips. To say they didn't end up going to that Halloween party Oliver was invited to was an understatement. Marcus was planning on doing this every year if this was the response he got.
I hope you all enjoyed Flint's Costume Surprise.
