(A/N: Hey, an update! Sorry that it's short and kinda just a filler, I wanted to show John's thoughts on everything. Also, sorry for the absence, I graduated and I keep getting shifts on all my free days. Oh, and I have been thinking about this, so I believe that I will continue writing a few more chapters of dates and fluff plus I have an ending planned. I was wondering if any of you had a ship idea for my next fanfiction? I can't decide... I hope you like this update! See you soon!)
Your name is John Egbert and, as of yesterday, you are dating Dave Strider.
When Dave asked you if you mind if he went as your boyfriend for Halloween, you were shocked, confused and happy. Confusion was the heaviest weighed thought of the three and you just had to ask him if he was actually asking you out. Before you did, you turned to him for an explanation, but he stared at you blankly, so you tapped out the text and sent it. It would have been a normal 'ironic' joke of Dave's if he wasn't being serious. You remember your heart filling to the brim with hope laced with anticipation. And then he said it. No, he wasn't kidding. Hundreds of thousands thoughts raced through your mind, taking and leaving new emotions, placing memories and fantasies, all of them processing not only what he had said, but what could happen from your answer. Your answer was yes, obviously, but it took you a moment to answer. You were just too stunned to reply and all you could muster was a slight nod of your head followed by a smile. After that, your brain regained control of your body and you hugged Dave in the middle of class, not caring who saw. Dave asked you out. The best part? He did it in ways special to both of you, whether he knew it or not. He made his typical silly type of ironic joke for the proposal and he asked you in a way that you could answer properly. You couldn't be happier.
Since the moment that he asked you the question, time has been blissfully slipping by oh so quickly for you. Music was a blur of happiness and blushing. Your night was full of texts that were ironically sappy and poetic from Dave and the quiet thoughts of dates. Your morning classes, English and Biology, were messes of smiles and smirks and breathy giggles. Lunch was normal, but with the added mixture of "I knew it"'s from Rose and Jade. Math was a concoction of Feferi, Jade and Nepeta exclaiming over you and Dave along with sending Dave texts that joked about how you should ruin their fun and lie by saying that the two of you were only fake dating. History was full of smug looks from Rose in between readings by the teacher.
And now? It's Saturday. To be specific, it's Halloween Day and it's also roughly thirty minutes before Dave is supposed to pick you up for trick or treating. Rose, Jade, Dave, Kanaya and you all have somewhat matching costume outfits from the same store. Kanaya's older sister, Porrim, owns the store and custom made the five of you the outfits. The store is pretty cool. It's called The Fabric Of Space and it sells yarn, fabric, outfits, etcetera. Apparently, Kanaya showed Porrim a picture of each of you and away she went. From what Rose told you, Porrim makes people outfits for a line she calls "God Tiers.". Basically, she puts you in a class and an element. From that, she makes an outfit that coincides with your title. Dave is the Knight of Time, Rose is the Seer of Light, Jade is the Witch of Space while Kanaya is the Sylph of Space. Finally, you are the Heir of Breath. You don't know why, but it really feels suiting. Dave thought it was ironic and cool because, well, because you are mute and it's the heir of breath. Of course the first thing he did was associate that with your breathy laugh afterwards.
Rolling your eyes at the memory, you glide your hand over the soft, comfortable fabric of your outfit. The outfit itself is a few different shades of blue, luckily your favourite colour. A spare thought wonders if Porrim knew that, or maybe if Kanaya told her? Your outfit is as comfortable as a pair of pyjamas and it gives you a warm sense of familiarity. You glance up at the clock. It's 5:07. Dave is supposed to be here at 5:30. So, what now? You have twenty three minutes until Dave is supposed to be here and that's only if he's on time. You sigh. Jane and Dad left earlier, Jane to go trick or treating with her friends and Dad to pick up some more cake mix. Your mind begins to wonder and you start to think about what might happen tonight. It's Halloween! One of your favourite holidays, only competed with Christmas. It's always so much fun dressing up and seeing everyone look so amazing in their costumes. Sure, it does get a little annoying having to constantly sign or try to convey to strangers that you are mute, but hey, free candy and amazing costumes! What could be better? Tonight should be tons of fun, it always is, but now you have Rose, Jade, Kanaya and Dave! You really can't wait!
A sudden sharp series of knocking snaps you out of your thoughts. As you stand up to answer the door, you take a quick peek at the clock. It's 5:21! Oops, got lost in thought. A small amount of your embarrassment seeps into your face as you open the door. "Trick or Treat." Says the smirking tall blonde on you porch. Wow. Dave's God Tier looks incredible on him! You have yet to see any of your friends outfits and you are really excited to see the rest if they are as perfect as yours and Dave's. His is a couple different hues of red and has what looks like a large gear on the front. The outfit looks almost mechanical and sleek. It suits him just as well as yours suits you. You smile and wave a hello to Dave before hugging him. What? He's your boyfriend. Wait, let's say that again. He's your boyfriend. The thought brings a light dusting of pink to your cheek as you let go of Dave. "Yo Egderp, as much as I love to get hugs from you and see you blush and smile like that, tonight is the only night where you can get candy from strangers and it won't be creepy as shit. Let's go, Rose, Kanaya and Jade are all at the house already, just waiting on us." Dave says. You roll your eyes at him before shutting the door, locking it and walking out to Dave's truck, hopping up into the passenger seat. "Ready for the best night ever plus shitloads of candy?" Dave asks with a smirk as he starts up the truck.
Your name is John Egbert and Halloween has just begun.
