Watching The Stars Together
Drabble 12: Pumpkin
"What… are you… doing?" Wizard drawled out every word, watching his wife wield the kitchen's sharpest knife with eerie exactness. Hikari raised the knife above her head, high, and with the craziest, most maniacal grin she could muster, Hikari plunged the knife…
Into the head of a pumpkin, cackling lightly as if she were someone being prepared to be wrapped in a straitjacket. The sight… frightened Wizard just the tiniest bit. And he was not someone that got scared easily.
Hikari turned her head around to glance at her husband before turning back to her… masterpiece. She took the knife and cut a hole into the top of the pumpkin, still smiling that crazy smile.
"Making Jack-o-lanterns!" She answered, placing the cut off piece of the pumpkin beside her. She stretched her arms above her, and then sunk her fingers into gooey, disgusting and gross-smelling pumpkin guts.
Wizard simply stood there in his ornate clothes, staring at her.
"Jack… o-lanterns?"
At this, Hikari looked back at him a second time, mouth agape. "You've never heard of Jack-o-lanterns!"
Wizard blushed lightly, out of embarrassment and he avoided her gaze slightly. Hikari padded the floor beside her, smiling.
"Here, come sit beside me! Help me make some!"
