October 31st...

Kaminari let himself into Keigo & Dabi's apartment. He was back on his medicine and doing better than ever, but Dabi and Jiro both agreed it was best for Dabi to have a key to Kaminari's (especially after the door incident) and for Kaminari to have one to Dabi's. Since he was scheduled off from work, it gave him time to set up and get into his costume.

The party would start at eleven, after everyone clocked out. That should be plenty of time for making cookies, he thought. Over the past few weeks, he'd done research on what sorts of treats are seen at a tea party. He found a lemon-basil cookie recipe he was excited to try. He'd been allowed full use of the kitchen while the two were at work.

I've never baked before, but it can't be that hard, he thought. All of his friends were doing all kinds of cool things to contribute and he wanted to do something to thank them. He rummaged Dabi & Keigo's cupboards until he found all the baking supplies he needed. The only green-herb-like thing he'd been able to track down however came from the spice cabinet and it was kept in an unlabeled glass jar.

That's gotta be basil, he thought. Or if it wasn't, it had to be something close. Green stuff was green stuff, right? How different could it be?

Izuku zipped himself into an ivory waistcoat and matching tights. Then a slightly off-white asymmetrical tailcoat with lace-fringed sleeves. It was silly to wear actual shoes since dabi and Keigo's apartment was just an elevator ride away, so he decided to wear comfortable house-slippers instead. He doubted his friends would mind.

Last but not least was the frilly white ascot and the bunny ear headband, and he was ready to go.

Bakugo had nothing if not disinterest for this whole shebang, so he'd dressed in something that was a level above pajamas. Izuku did manage to get him into a white-spotted fur hoodie, but the rest of his ensemble was just a tank and sweatpants.

Izuku's contribution was some party supplies. A fancy tablecloth, a round three-tier cupcake stands for the desserts, and a cooler of sandwiches Bakugo prepared.

Tokoyami agreed to close the store so they could go home and get ready. At ten-thirty, they were completely prepared to walk out the door.

Until Bakugo saw Izuku in his outfit.

The faux-fur hoodie didn't help. He looked like a feral beast who wanted to ravage him.

Izuku flushed, as desire bloomed in his groin. "We have to get there early so we can set up - "

Bakugo hoisted him up so Izuku's legs wrapped around his waist and carried him to the bedroom.

Sero looked at the clock. It was almost eleven. Party would be starting soon. They'd offer to bring the alcohol.

"Yumi, are you almost ready?" he asked from his seat on the couch.

He was already dressed in his costume. Two-tone purple striped shirt, dark grey jacket with dark wash jeans. He'd swapped out the laces of his high tops for purple laces. Purple fingerless gloves and a pair of purple and grey cat ears and tail finished off his wardrobe.

"In a minute. I can't decide what to wear!"

Sero looked up at the roof and sighed. "You'll look good in whatever you wear. The party starts soon and no one can get drunk until we get there."

"I know...I just can't choose!"

Getting off the couch Sero walked to the bedroom. Yumi stood in front of the bed while two outfits laid on the bed. Wearing only her underwear, he saw she'd braided back her hair and put on her mouse ears and the collar necklace he'd bought her for tonight.

Yumi turned to him. She picked up one outfit- a layered purple and pink dress with a pink lace top. "What do you think of this one?"

Sero leaned against the door. He nodded a bit as he looked it over. "It's cute. You'll look good in it."

Yumi set that outfit down and picked up the other outfit- a short, bright red overall dress with a white long sleeve shirt and black stockings.

"It's also cute. Now please pick one so we can go."

Setting the outfit down, Yumi looked them over. "They're both cute….although this one is a little too short. This one is too low cut...I think I have better shoes for -"

Sero walked over, put a finger through the loop on the collar, and pulled her close, wrapping an arm around her waist.

"Listen here, little mouse. If you don't pick an outfit soon, we're not going to the party. Your only other option is going naked and that's not happening," he growled in her ear, a smirk on his face.

Yumi flushed. "...okay."

Letting her go, Sero walked out of the room so she could get dressed.

Ten minutes later Yumi walked out of the bedroom. She was wearing an outfit different from either of the previous options- a red, pink, and purple layered sweetheart dress with a white sheer top and brown lace front boots. She had a fake yellow teapot attached to her head with a headband along with her mouse ears and tail.

"Ready to go?" he asked, grabbing a few bottles of rum off the bar.

Yumi, biting her lips, just nodded before walking out the door.

Sero chuckled as he followed behind her.

No one was sure why, but after eating Kaminari's cookies they all felt very giggly and very tired. So everyone either laid sprawled on the ground or draped their body over the nearest piece of furniture they could collapse on.

"Knight to C 4," Sero slurred.

Kirishima laid on his back, unmoving. "We're playing Monopoly, bro."

Sero hiccuped. "Fine. Am I red or black?"

Kaminari giggled, rolling over on the floor. "That's checkers."

Sero banged his fist on the coffee table, knocking over everyone's monopoly pieces. "I'm King of the rock so I make the rules!"

Shoto snickered. "King of the rock isn't even a board game."

Tiredly, Keigo and Dabi stretched and rubbed their eyes as they walked out into the living room.

"The hell is going on here?" Dabi asked.

Sero thought hard for a minute. "Black Jack?"

Yumi yawned, starting to get sleepy. "Move my piece to candy cane lane."

"Monopoly," Everyone else answered.

Dabi's jaw dropped. "Are you fucking kidding me?"

"Why are you all high?!" Keigo asked.

"God forbid we leave you idiots alone for twenty minutes to take a nap - "

" - How are you all so blitzed this fast?!"

The couple put two and two together when they caught sight of an empty glass jar and three half-full cookie sheets on the kitchen counter.

"They didn't," Dabi snapped.

"Who used our stash?!" Keigo yelled.

Kaminari raised his hand. "I'm sorry I used all your basil."

Dabi gawked at him in horror. "Oh no…"

Keigo pulled at his hair. "That wasn't - "

"Kid, you put that entire jar into those cookies?"

"The recipe called for two cups," he mumbled. "Or...was it two teaspoons? I can't remember."

Dabi pinched his temples. "Well, I hope they were good because you baked over eight hundred dollars into those damn cookies."

Bakugo fought to stand up, swaying on his feet. "Why do you keep grass in the spice cabinet anyway?"

Keigo grinned sheepishly. "Cuz we use it for cooking…"

"So this is your fault," Jiro said.

"WHAT KIND OF RECIPE CALLS FOR THREE CUPS OF ANYTHING?!" Keigo exclaimed.

"Stop yelling, Izuku's asleep!" Bakugo growled.

"Momo too," Shoto said, pointing at Izuku curled up in an armchair and Momo lying on the kitchen floor.

Yumi squinted at Kaminari. "How do you even mix up something like that?"

"It was a dry green leaf-thing," Kaminari said, fighting through his stupor.

"Have you never smoked pot before?" Mina asked.

Kaminari shrugged. "No."

Bakugo scoffed. "Even if you'd never smoked, you'd know it doesn't smell anything like basil."

Kaminari yawned. "Well, what does basil smell like?"

Jiro giggled. "Pizza, love."

It took him a minute. Kaminari gasped. "Ohhhhh…"

Sero giggled. "I knew it wasn't basil."

"You bastard," Keigo growled.

Sero hiccuped. "But...my parents are married, though."

Kirishima laughed. "Why did you have pot to begin with?"

Dabi cleared his throat. "We're still getting Keigo used to shackles - "

" - CAN YOU NOT?!" he exclaimed, turning bright red.

"I SAID STOP YELLING!" Bakugo yelled.

"No no no it's okay, I don't mind - "

" - I told you I'm working on it, okay? It's still kinda - "

" - I know, baby, I know - "

" - It's scary for most people!"

" - Baby, I told you it's okay - "

Yumi snickered. "Shackles and handcuffs are like...the exact same thing."

"They are so not!" Keigo argued.

Tokoyami dizzily got to his feet and made his way towards the door. "I'll take this awkward topic of conversation as my cue to depart. Happy Hallow's Eve, friends."

"Farewell, brother," Shinsou said.

"Revelry in the dark," Tokoyami concurred before taking his leave.

During this entire conversation, Mina, Yumi, and Sero all grabbed more cookies from the dessert tray.

Keigo flushed with irritation. "If you guys know what they are, why do you keep eating them?!"

Kirishima swallowed his fifth cookie. "Cuz they're good, man."

Kaminari smiled wide. "Really? I was worried they were too crispy - "

" - It's a butter cookie, they're supposed to be like that," Bakugo pointed out.

"How would you know that?" Shoto asked.

"Shut the hell up, Icy-Hot."

"What does marijuana have to do with shackles?" Shoto asked.

Dabi averted his gaze. "Don't worry about it, Nugget."

Yumi giggled. "You should get Keigo that bondage-plushie Sero bought for me."

Dabi furrowed his brow. "You mean like the ones we sell at Spencer's?

"I DON'T NEED PLUSHY BONDAGE, YUMI!" Keigo exclaimed.

"Ths is even more entertaining than going to work," Shinsou said, wearing a smug smile.

Keigo pointed at him. "You're...acting...sober," he marveled.

"Did you not eat the cookies or something?" Dabi asked.

Shinsou shrugged. "Nah."

"How come?"

Shinsou grinned. "I'm high on life, man."

Bakugo smacked Shinsou upside the head. "Shut the fuck up."

"Ooh. Hit me harder, daddy."

"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU JUST SAY?!" Bakugo growled, grabbing hold of Shinsou's neck.

Shinsou smirked, even as Bakugo cut off his air supply. "Can you stop choking me? I'm getting a boner."

Bakugo let go of him, stomping to the opposite end of the room.

"You should try doing it with tape first. It hurts but you get used to the positions quicker," Yumi suggested.

Sero smirked, clearly proud of himself.

Keigo looked visibly panicked.

Dabi gave a brief nod as he made a mental note.

"Oooh! And for Christmas, you can get ribbons and turn yourself into a present!"

Dabi spoke without a shred of hesitation. "I unwrap him whenever I want."

His boyfriend shuffled to the kitchen, mortified, to toss back one of the cookies.

Shinsou snickered. " has crashed."

Yumi stood up to continue her conversation with Dabi. "Have you tried whipped cream?"

Dabi raised an eyebrow. "Whipped cream?"

Yumi nodded. "Yeah, you spray it down his chest. Add some chocolate or honey, then with your tongue you - "

Sero put his hand over her mouth. "I think he gets it, beautiful."

Keigo almost choked on his cookie. "The fuck kind of sex have you two been having?!"

Dabi's eyes glistened with excitement. "The fun kind, apparently."

Keigo shook his head. "It's a miracle there's no mini Hantas or Yumis running around."

Bakugo smirked. "Maybe you should check downstairs. Make sure everything's working."

Shinsou grinned. "Yeah, what's the deal? You only got one testicle or something?"

Sero scowled. "Hey! My seed is strong! I can get her pregnant anytime I want!"

Dabi grabbed him by the shirt and lifted him off the ground. "What did we talk about, you little shit?!

Sero seemed to sober up a little now that his life was in jeopardy. "I'm sorry I didn't - "

Dabi smacked Sero upside the head. "What the fuck did I tell you?!"

Sero held his head, groaning in pain as he started to see spots. "Sorry, Mr. Himura."

Yumi tilted her head. "We're supposed to be using protection?" She giggled maniacally. "Just kidding."

Kaminari squinted. "Wait. Who's pregnant?"

Kirishima ate another cookie. "I think it's you, dude."

"I'm pregnant?" He blinked and stared for three minutes, as if contemplating. "Oh shit, I am!"

Dabi sighed, rolling his eyes. "You're not pregnant, Kid."

"But...I never got one of those men-straw things!"

"Is he trying to say menstrual?" Mina asked.

"Congratulations," Shoto declared.

"I'm gonna be a dad," Jiro cheered tiredly. "Woot."

Shinsou snickered. "Way to go, you naughty Knave."

Jiro and Shinsou high-fived.

Dabi smacked Sero again.

"Ow! Why did you hit me again?" Sero whined.

"You caused this," he growled.

Yumi smacked Dabi, lacking the cognitive skills to be afraid. "Stop smacking my boyfriend. That's my job."

Keigo threw a hoodie over his head and slipped on a pair of crocs.

"Where are you going?" Dabi asked. "You can't leave me with these stupid children."

"You're only like...four years older," Shoto pointed out.

Dabi's eye twitched. "Yet I'm not the one who's immobilized from eating no-no cookies."

Keigo let out a deep sigh as he grabbed his keys. "Since each of them probably ate fifteen grams worth of bud, I think it's safe to say they're sleeping over. We need pillows and blankets."

"Is fifteen a lot?" Kaminari asked.

"It's five times the normal amount," Shinsou answered.

Dabi raised an eyebrow. "How do you know that?"

Shinsou rolled his eyes. "Because I have access to the internet."

"Can you grab coffee too?" Bakugo asked.

"You live here," Keigo snapped.

"Please bring pancakes," Mina begged. "With butter and syrup and mmm blueberries - "

"Oh my god I want pizza," Shoto declared.

Dabi took a deep breath, clearly trying not to blow up. "Shinsou, if I pay you - "

" - I'll keep an eye on the stoners," he said.

Dabi pulled on a pair of boots. "Shouldn't be longer than an hour. Make yourself at home." He glared at the other party guests. "Everyone else did."
