Pairing: Mystwalker

Rating: K+

Disclaimer: Should be clear about now…

AN: It's an hour to midnight on Halloween, and I have candy. And a hurt toe. Took my brother and sister out trick-or-treating, and ended up joining in, even though I'm supposedly "too old" for it. Screw that! That is pretty much what this little blurb is about. Takes place in the same AU-verse that "the first time" does, not long after they get together.

Also, this is written to be mostly dialogue. There's some description, but the rest is for you to imagine.


"No."

"Please?"

"No."

"Come on Erza, it'll be fun!"

"Not. Happening."

Jellal sighed, looking at his girlfriend as she glared at the costume he held in his hands. And he thought not going for the clichéd couple-y matching costumes would help convince her to join him tonight. Apparently, it wasn't doing anything.

"Pleeeeease?"

"Aren't we a little old for trick-or-treating?"

… She did have a point. Dammit, he really wanted her to join him too!

"But but but… Free candy!"

Her face didn't lose the look of irritation and exasperation — something he was growing more and more used to. After all, she gave it to him often enough, usually followed by her muttering that he was impossible.

"You're impossible, you know that?"

Right. On. Schedule.

"So you've told me, time and time again, my love. Come on, a little free candy won't hurt."

Brown eyes flicked up to his, and he smiled kindly as she scowled. After all, he did know she loved her sweets. Erza's eyes narrowed in fury for a few moments, but then she grabbed the fabric and stalked off to change.

"You do know I am putting you through hell tonight, right?"

Oh yeah, he did. But seeing her in that devil costume was totally worth the pain he'd get later.

"Love you too."


AN 2: Random note, Knightwalker's a devil, and Mystogan is a king. Not matchy, but whatever, it fits them.
