~Lennon's POV~
Kailen took me
into a store to try to find some costumes, it is a local store that
makes one-of-a-kind costumes, and it's usually open all
year long. We split up at the entrance, he went left and I went
right, nearby the dressing rooms. I thought I saw a glance of violet or purple
by the rooms, but I didn't look, and continued to looked at the
well-tailored pirate costumes... but as I noticed, most of them were
girl costumes, and it was hard to find a guys costume, not to mention
my size too.
"Are you
thinking of cross-dressing again this year, Len~?"
A blonde chirped
in her mage costume, but I recognize the girl as Lilia, a family
member of a very cruel group. "I didn't get to choose my costume
last year! That was embarrassing to wear!"
"Ah, but you
looked really hot," My faced exploded with blush and anger, not
wanting to remember almost being r- "Kamau~ your lover is here~!"
"Huh? Who are
you talking about Lilia? And would you mind waiting until I get ou-"
I didn't wait
for that sentence to be finished, I jumped into the rack, so I would
be hidden under the feminine costumes, and I figured maybe even trying to look
for a costume my taste is too hard.
"Aww, you
missed it, Kamau~ he's being shy, hurry up and come out so you
don't miss her face~!"
Lilia was even calling me a she now! While try to conceal my identity, I felt my face smacked with a... I don't know
what it was. I would say a tail of some sort. The feet of the person
turned facing me, then looking in-between two pink pirate costumes
popped a green haired, buck toothed boy. He didn't seem familiar.
"Why are you hiding here?" I'm not sure why, but his voice
reminded me of G#chapin, a character I used to like growing up.
"Ryuton, would
you mind getting Lennon, the blonde you just saw, out of the costume
rack?"
He nodded, but I
crept over to the warfare costumes in the next aisle before I was
spotted to be dragged out of my protection from embarrassment. I saw
blue and white shoes walk past me, but walking in a strange pattern
as if he was looking for something. Of course, that something would
probably be me. Then I saw the feet confirm its destination, and
started perfect gaited to the check out. I expected that he wouldn't
hear the S.O.S. code tapping by his feet. Kailen, you idiot!
"Now what were
you saying from earlier?" I heard the owner of a pair or navy blue
shoes turning to the person with black, knee-high boots. I'm sure
the voices of Kamau and Lilia were softy whispering; to me it was all
muffled. Then the boots walked over to where I came out of, and
inspected the area.
"Hi Kamau~"
I heard the childish voice of my uncle, Kailen, call out to him.
"Have you by any chance seen Lennon?"
"He's at the
store? I haven't seen him, have you seen the kid Lilia and Ryuton
were talking about?"
"Those two are
acting so clueless about their lover," Lilia did a dramatic sigh,
"Two men, one poor maiden, an-"
"What are you
talking about? Now, can you at least tell me where the paladin
cosplay goes, I should at least know if I'm going to put this back
for you" Oh no! That's at the warfare section!
That was maybe part of what she whispered to Kamau, I'm just glad it wasn't
something else.
"Over there,
aisle 27." I'll have to come up with-
"Ok, thanks."
A plan, or an excuse, fast!
~Gumillia's POV~
After I came out
of the dressing room, I saw Kamau staring at something at the warfare
section of the costumes. I thought he already got his costume, he was
even wearing it.
"Kamau, what
are you looking at? Is something wrong? The way you are staring at
the rack, it's almost like either you fell in love or frightened to
death," The blue haired man spoke with a childish tone, making fun
of Kamau. I doubt that I had ever seen him before, and was what he
was wearing a costume? He was even wearing a blue scarf, pretty out
of season if you ask me. The man walked over to the area Kamau was
looking at, but he had less of an awkward way of staring at what they
were staring at. "Lennon! What are you doing in there?" The man
exclaimed with a giggle.
"Kailen, you
have always said to judge what was inside, I couldn't judge from
outside in the aisles, so I thought I would go inside and look for
costumes, and look!" The boy they were looking at inside of the
racks stood up and held up a costume, "I actually found a pirate
costume that isn't feminine or oversized! And it looks awesome!"
The only people that were able to see the costume were Kamau and
Kailen.
The man, named
Kailen, ruffled the blonde's bangs in a joking matter. "Is that
what you want to wear?" Lennon nod shined like a star.ﾠﾠKamau looked
tenser by the boy's presence.
Lilia chuckled,
"what a liar," and turned to the check out to buy her costume.
The rest of us did the same, except Kailen whom already did. "Don't
let Kailen and Lennon make a fool out of you,"
a whisper came from over my shoulder.
"Wait, you
aren't being clear, why?"
"Their family
is our enemy; it's been that way for generations."
I turned
around, but there was no one behind her to hear her whisper, "But why?"
~30 Minutes Later~
~Rinchelle's POV~
"Are
we all ready? It's starting to get dark, so best to be on our
way~!" Mikayla started to gaze at all of the costumes; Meigan was
wearing a crimson and onyx black, elegant vampire costume with a ton
of laces, Kailen was wearing, what seemed like, a deluxe Russian
Cossack with a pink-tinted scarf, replacing his usual blue one,
Mikayla was wearing an off-shoulders, knee length maid outfit,
Lennon's was the one I was most impressed with because it looked so
much like an actual English pirate outfit from the time when they
were abundant. Luca even came in time wearing an also elegant angel
costume.ﾠﾠI was wearing a complex dress from the time Riliane
Lucifen d'Autriche ruled the country Lucifenia. Our
masks well disguised our identities, and the make-up took care of eye
shadow for ladies, and fake (and strangely handsome) injuries for
Lennon.
"I don't believe I've been
to this before," I admitted to the
other family members in the corridor before the door.
"Don't
stress yourself about it, relax, and try to have fun. If you are
having trouble at the party, ask me or Lennon for help," the brunette
volunteered her assistance and Lennon's on their way to the 3 separately designed
carriages, assuring everything will be as usual and fun at the
costume part.
