It was late in the afternoon and the sun was slowly going down. It was October 31st and Alex was checking to make sure that everything was alright with his costume. He and his friend Jay were going to a costume party that Brian was hosting. He was going as the great vampire Count Dracula. Jay was going as one of his victims. Jay then stepped out of the bathroom with fake blood pouring down his neck and fake bite marks on his neck. "How do I look?" said bloodied man asked as he jokingly did a fashion twirl. Alex laughed at his friend's behavior. "You look great! Now let's get going before everyone eats all the good candy."
It didn't take them long to get there. They could see that people had already started to arrive and they could see Brian talking with someone they didn't know. They both shrugged it off as one of his friends. They were a good hour into the party when someone, a girl named Sarah, walked up to them. "Hey, great costumes!" She called over the music. The boys grinned. Alex replied with, "Thanks! Yours is great too!" Sarah was dressed up as Cleopatra. They all started to talk. What Sarah asked next surprised the two and made Jay look down at his drink to hide the red that was slowly growing on his face. "So are you two going out or something?" She obviously didn't mean it obviously so neither took it as such. "No. We are just good friends." It was Alex that had told her so. Jay had asked why she thought they were dating and she told him. "Well you two are wearing matching costumes and you guys seem really close."
It was around midnight when they got home. They were both drunk seeing as someone spiked the punch and it was Brian who dropped them off. When he left the boys giggled and crashed on Alex's bed. It ended up with Jay's head being on Alex's stomach and his hand resting on Jay's back. They woke up with headaches and slight confusion. They didn't bother to ask why they were like that so they just spent the day helping each other get over their handovers.
