Opaque, white, knee-high stockings. The last thing that Ryohei would've expected to see in his sock drawer. Then he remembered that Lussuria was in the same house, in the same room, and it all made much more sense.

"LUSS. YOU LEFT YOUR EXTREMELY GIRLY SOCKS IN MY DRAWER," he called, picking up the strangely silky stockings and tossing them over his shoulder. "DON'T DO THAT."

"Sorry~" came the faint reply. Where WAS that man? Honestly, if he was off painting his toenails again…The fumes were absolutely toxic. "Just put them in my drawer, snowflake~"

He grumbled as he picked the stockings back up.

"THIS ISN'T EXTREME," he retorted as he rubbed them together and felt the material slither (no better words for the sensation, really!) between his fingers.

"Hey sweetie, why so upset? They're just socks."

Lussuria was getting far too good at this whole 'sneaking up on people' thing for Ryohei's liking. "Oh, you found my Halloween costume?"

"Your what?"

The older man giggled, flicking his pinkie absently at the closet.

"The rest is in there. It was going to be a surprise, but I suppose you could see it before we go to the Vongola's party…"

Curiosity sufficiently piqued, Ryohei duly trotted over to the closet and opened Lussuria's side to see-

"HOLY CRAP. THAT'S…That's EXTREME."

A hot pink, ribbon-laced (pun fully intended), frilled garment was smack dab in the centre of the carefully hung clothing (hanging next to the infinitely more demure maid's outfit, he noticed with burning cheeks). "Er…"

"I'm going as Alice in Wonderland, and I got you a beautiful suit too!" crooned the Varia, his chin on the younger man's shoulder as he pushed the sliding door a little further towards Ryohei's designated side and revealed said suit. "Your already fine body will look even finer in that, doncha think?"

"Of course! The suit's manly and has fighting spirit!" cried the silver-haired man, punching the air eagerly. "You're getting good at choosing clothes!"

"Oh you're too funny!" Lussuria purred. He turned the other Sun Guardian around to face him, and hungrily kissed him, as always. And from this, Ryohei could only form one opinion.

"…You're an extreme person, Luss."

"You know it, snowflake. Now…You like my stockings? Wait 'til you see them on."

Yeah, late for Halloween. But I think it's cute...In its own way.
