Music thumped throughout the freshly furnished apartment as bodies, dressed is scantily clad costumes threw themselves around to the top 40 hits that were already overplayed. But tonight, people didn't care about the music, or the fact that the people had barely any cloth left hanging on their bodies. Because tonight, yes tonight, was Halloween. Tonight people could get away with wearing nothing and calling it a costume, getting shit-faced and calling it their aesthetic, and eating candy until they puke and not being 6 years old. Halloween was indeed the best time of the year whether you were 3 years old or 30. And Mark simply took advantage of this. It was the perfect time to have an epic housewarming party...except if you were on cleanup duty after. But that's another story. No, right now is all about our college aged teens getting down and dirty on Halloween.
Sean and Mark
Mark had been busy entertaining his guests from the moment that the party started and quite frankly, it was pissing off Sean. Not because Mark was a nice guy, no. Sean loved that Mark was a nice guy. Sean just would've liked some more attention from Mark. Sean sighed heavily and stalked off. In his anger filled rage session, he passed Evan and Jonathan who were making out on Mark's new couch. Typical. That's probably what they were going all night. Couldn't they find something else to do?
"Get a room!" He called out angrily. In all his fuming, he bumped right into Parker, who looked frazzled more than anything. Their hair was sticking up all over the place and they had some kind of face paint smeared around their mouth. Sean raised an eyebrow at that, but didn't question it.
"I am so sorry, Parker. I was just-" Sean sighed, deciding not to lie.
"Are you okay?" Parker asked. Sean nodded.
"I am, it's just. Mark hasn't been paying attention to me all night and it's just like-" Sean began to ramble on for what, if you asked Parker, was hours. "And I feel like maybe he's ignoring me or avoiding me or both. I even dressed up for him because I never dress up when I go to these things because I feel too self conscious." Parker's eyes scanned over Sean.
"What are you?" Parker scrunched up their nose. Sean did a similar move of confusion.
"I'm a dog, duh." Sean pointed to his floppy ears and his beige t-shirt and pants. His shirt had a whitish-tan felt piece glued to it to symbolize the belly. Parker burst into a fit of laughter.
"That's not sexy." Parker told him. Sean frowned.
"I'm not trying to look sexy." Sean folded his arms over his chest and hugged himself.
"Okay well, I'm sure Mark would be paying attention to you if you were a sexy dog." Parker smirked and Sean deadpanned.
"A what!?"
"Well think about it. I figure everybody goes as a sexy cat but nobody goes as a sexy dog." Parker nodded their head as if they were a genius.
"How...original...?" Sean offered up.
"Oh just come here!" Parker dragged Sean off to the Mark's office where it had been locked with a keypad. Only Mark and Sean knew the code. "Punch it in!"
"Why?" Sean asked, accusingly.
"Oh just do it." Parker commanded. Sean sighed.
"Fine but look away." Sean told them as he punched in the key code. Parker did as they were told. Once the door opened, Sean and Parker entered. Parker immediately went over to the desk and started rummaging through the drawers. "Woah what the hell do you think you're doing?" Sean asked. Parker laughed
"I'm looking for scissors." They explained. "And I found them." Parker pulled out a pair of scissors and held them up in the air, a gleam of delight on their face. "Now come here." Parker launched themselves at Sean and when they emerged, Sean was completely different. His pants were cut into really high cut short shorts and his t-shirt was was now cut into a tank that had the deepest v-neck even. It exposed his nipples and Sean felt the opposite of sexy.
"Uh...?"Sean grimaced as he looked in the mirror.
"Sexy dog." Parker offered up. "Woof! Now go get your man." Sean walked out to the living room to go find Mark, but instead found that eyes were now on him. He was now getting a bunch of attention that he had never received before. Sean hurried into the kitchen, only to bump into Craig who turned around and immediately dropped everything in his hands, which at that moment was a red solo cup and a bottle of alcohol. Craig gulped
"Woah, party foul!" Some dude called out, and a group of boys helped Craig clean up the bottle, or rather did it for him.
"What are you wearing, Sean?" Craig asked, clearly concerned about his mental health.
"I don't know why don't you ask Parker." Sean growled out, clearly not happy with how tonight was going. He turned to storm out, only to crash into Minx.
"Woah, where's the fire?" She asked, with an amused look on her face. Sean gave her a look. "Why aren't you with your loverboy, Hotpants?"
"I'm trying to find him, have you seen-" Sean was cut off by Minx.
"Bedroom." She told him. Sean nodded and headed there. Sean was livid as he thought about all the possible scenarios that could be happening. Was Mark cheating on him? Did he have another boy in there with him? Another girl? Both? All kinds of thoughts circled through his head as he burst through the door, only to find Mark...all alone on his bed in his power rangers costume. Mark was all alone on his bed reading a book while the music thumped downstairs. Sean offered up a shy, sheepish smile. Mark smiled wide back.
"Where have you been?" Mark asked as he opened his arms for Sean to cuddle into him. "You just disappeared. And what on earth happened to you? You look like you were mauled by a bear!" Mark half-joked. Sean started laughing but it turned into sobs.
"You don't think it's sexy?" Sean asked as he climbed into bed with Mark. Mark kissed Sean's forehead.
"Sean. I think you look sexy no matter what you wear. Plus, I liked your old costume." Mark reassured him. They cuddled and everything was good. Until the door burst open, revealing a very drunk Felix.
"Wait this isn't the bathroom!" He called out as he started peeing all over the floor.
"Felix!" Sean and Mark both screamed

Jonathan and Evan
Jonathan and Evan had always been inseparable, and Halloween was no exception. In fact, Halloween was the one night that they could dress up and match and not be judged. So tonight they were dressed up like a racoon and an owl and if there was a costume contest, they feel like they would've won. Well, Craig and Tyler may beg to differ, but tonight was their night...or was it. Evan left to go get him and his king some punch. Jonathan danced awkwardly, not because he was awkward but because he didn't know how to dance, in the middle of the living room as he waited for Evan. Although he stopped quick when a familiar face walked near him. Jonathan swallowed hard. It was his ex. It wasn't that they had ended things badly but there's just a stigma around ex's and the fact that you shouldn't have them near you at a party where your current boyfriend is.
"Arlan..." Jonathan offered up a small smile. "What are you doing here?" Arlan dug in his pocket for his phone and scrolled through it. He offered it to Jonathan who peered down at the screen. On the front of the brightly lit screen, was a picture of Jonathan and Evan that was posted tonight on his instagram.
"I saw you were going to be here and I just had to see you." Arlan ran his hand down Jonathan's arm. He always was a smooth one. Jonathan stepped back. He had started to wonder why they had broken up. Oh yeah, he had gone away to a different college and didn't want to be confined to one boyfriend. Jonathan rolled his eyes
"You mean you saw that I was doing good and you wanted to get me back?" Jonathan asked, snarkily. Arlan laughed.
"Well speaking of, where is this boyfriend of yours? Why isn't he here with you right now?" Arlan asked.
"Well if you must know, he's getting us drinks and mmpf-" Jonathan was cut off by lips on his. Jonathan quickly pushed Arlan off of him. Evan was about to go and give Jonathan his drink when he saw a boy kissing his boyfriend. He shoved the drinks in the hands of the nearest person, which happened to be Parker.
"Take these." He growled out.
"What the fuck did you think you were doing?" Jonathan asked. Arlan smirked.
"Come on, don't you miss me?" Arlan was about to talk again but he was cut off.
"No, he doesn't!" Evan growled out and pushed Arlan back. "And don't you ever kiss my fucking boyfriend again!" Arlan narrowed his eyes and launched himself at Evan.
"Woah! Party foul! A boy called out.
"Daithi stop saying that, that's like the tenth time you've said that tonight." Minx laughed. But even her lightheartedness didn't stop the two from launching themselves at each other. The two swung at each other and were wrestling on the ground.
"Stop!" Jonathan called out. Mark rushed over to the scene and pulled the two of them apart. Sean was nowhere to be seen with him. Jonathan rushed over and wrapped his arms around Evan. "Now what the hell is the issue here?!" Mark growled out.
"This guy crashed the party! He kissed my boyfriend and made a scene! Kick him out, Mark!" Evan yelled. Mark did just that. Him and a group of his friends helped pick Arlan up and toss him out the door. The party cheered and everyone went back to dancing. Mark and the group of friends walked back up to Jonathan and Evan.
"Thank you, er-" Jonathan stopped, not knowing their names.
"This is Lui, that's Marcel, and that there is Daithi." Mark explained, gesturing to each boy. Jonathan offered up a small wave and the boys took off once more. Evan led Jonathan to a free spot on the couch.
"I'm so sorry about everything that happened. I didn't mean for him to kiss me he jus-" Jonathan's ramblings were cut off by Evan's lips on his. Jonathan smiled into the kiss and wrapped his arms around Evan's neck.
"Get a room!" Jonathan and Evan both looked up to see a pissed off Sean in a homemade dog costume storming past them. They thought perhaps he was just insanely jealous of their costumes that they had worked months on.
"Maybe we should do just that." Evan purred and him and Jonathan shared a look before tearing off upstairs. They burst through one of the doors, startling a couple on the bed. "Oops sorry." Evan mumbled before realizing who it was. Dressed as Betty and Jughead from Riverdale, Craig and Tyler sheepishly crawled away from each other.
"Oh shit. Y'all are kinky!" Jonathan teased. Craig and Tyler pushed past them and let Evan and Jonathan have the room all to themselves.

Craig and Tyler
Craig didn't care what anyone had to say. He looked hella good in a blonde, ponytailed wig and a cheerleading outfit. Although, everyone's eyes on him did make him feel a little bit of discomfort. Although he was supposed to be perfect all-American girl Betty Cooper, he sure didn't feel like her. Tyler, his boyfriend, however was living it up. He was dressed as the beautiful Serpent, Jughead Jones, boyfriend to Betty Cooper. And Tyler was loving it. Everyone was complementing Tyler on his outfit, and even Craig for that matter. As they should, they had worked on their costumes for what seemed to be months. The only ones who even came close to rivaling their costumes were Evan and Jonathan and let's face it, they were freaking animals. So, Tyler would like to think if there was a costume contest they would have this thing in the bag. Craig would like to however be in that bag. Craig sighed and walked away from a group of is adoring fans, and instead went to go mix him and Tyler some drinks. When he entered the kitchen he was pleasantly surprised to see his friend Parker was there dressed as Spiderman, but was thoroughly intrigued to find them talking to a boy. Craig knew that Parker was shy so to see the way this guy was up on Parker was interesting to say the least. But hey, it was Halloween. Craig decided to ask them about it later and took his drink back into the living area to find Tyler. He found Tyler alright, right in the arms of another man. Okay, maybe that's not what happened, but there certainly was a guy getting awfully close to him. And it was the same guy from the waiting room from when Craig hurt his foot. Seeing red, Craig instantly marched up to the guy and dumped both cups of alcohol right on his head.
"Woah! Party foul!" The guy jumped back and looked at the angry little man. "What did I do?!"
"That's for trying to steal my man twice! Don't think I don't recognize you!" Craig blurted out.
"Daithi wasn't trying to steal me! Craig what are you talking about?!" Craig was taken aback by Tyler raising his voice at him.
"I-I.." Craig stuttered but Daithi laughed.
"I wasn't trying to steal your man. I promise." He held his hand out for Craig to shake. "Nice to meet you man. I'm Daithi and I'm straight."
"O-Oh..." Craig blushed, obviously embarrassed. Daithi just shook his head
"It's okay, man." Daithi told him and then joined his group of friends which now consisted of Minx and Felix. Tyler smiled over at Craig and picked him up like he was his little cheerleader, because he was.
"Let's go find someplace to be alone." Tyler purred in his ear and carried him into an empty room upstairs. Tyler threw Craig on the bed and started to climb on top of him when the door flew open.
"Oh shit! Y'all are kinky!" They heard Jonathan's loud mouth and the two of them jumped apart. Tyler grabbed Craig's hand and dragged him downstairs to the kitchen to get a drink. Craig grabbed a red solo cup and a bottle of something that was on the table. Someone bumped into him, and Craig turned around to see who it was. He immediately dropped the bottle on the ground. It shatter into millions of tiny little pieces, alcohol splaying everywhere. Craig gulped as he took in the sight of Sean.
"Woah, party foul!" Daithi and his group of guys started cleaning up the alcohol. Craig would have cleaned it up but he was too curious about what was up with Sean.
"What are you wearing, Sean?" Craig asked, clearly concerned about his mental health. Sean's previous dog outfit was now all cut up and he looked as though he got in an accident with a shredder.
"I don't know why don't you ask Parker!" Sean growled out, and stormed off. Craig just shook his head and went back to Tyler.
"Did you see what Sean was wearing?" Craig asked? "He looked like a cat attacked him."
"I don't know, I think it was kind of sex- ow!" Tyler was cut off by Craig smacking him.
"Let's go find someplace to sit." Craig grabbed Tyler's arm and dragged him to the couch. Shortly after, Parker came and found them. "There you are! Who was that boy you were with! Tell me everything!"

Parker and ...?
Parker didn't mind coming to a Halloween party alone. In fact, they weren't really alone. Their friends were there too, except they were all off with their boyfriends and they were standing in the corner all alone... Okay...maybe they were alone. But Parker didn't mind. They were freaking Spiderman, why would they mind anything at all. Except they did mind. Parker sighed and stormed into the kitchen to go drown their sorrows in tequila. But before Parker could reach the tequila, they smashed straight into a really hot guy. Wait what? Parker wasn't drunk yet but it sure seemed like that just came out of their mouth for real.
"Really hot guy..."
"Thank you?" The guy chuckled. Parker blushed.
"Um, I didn't mean to..." Parker cut themselves off in fear of making a fool out of themselves. "I'm Parker and sometimes I park my foot in my mouth." Parker joked and offered up a shy smile. The boy smiled back and grabbed his hand gently. He brought it up to his mouth and kissed it. Now, Parker didn't have his mask on right now so he knew what the guy said next must've been true.
"Nice to meet you, Parker. My name's Kodi and I have a habit of bumping into really cute people." The boy smirked.
"Really?" Parker blushed brighter.
"Well not usually but it happened tonight didn't it?" Kodi answered. Parker smiled.
"You think I'm cute?" Parker asked.
"And sexy." Kodi purred. "So much so that I'm surprised you're here alone." Parker was going to correct him but instead they said something else instead.
"You know I'm non-binary right?" Parker asked.
"No, but I didn't want to assume your gender. I'm glad you felt comfortable telling me though. It doesn't matter to me what your gender is, I still want to get to know you." Kodi told them. Parker smiled and took Kodi's hand. The two of them found a dark room and Parker turned on a lamp. They climbed up on the bed and sat down, Kodi followed. They sat and talked for a while, laughing occasionally and talking serious when the topic called for it. After a while, Kodi leaned in and kissed Parker. The two of them made out on the bed until both of them were all messed up and frazzled. They only broke apart when they decided they decided that they were extremely dehydrated. Kodi left first to go get the drinks and then Parker went to go find Craig and tell him about Kodi. Instead, he smacked into Sean who raised an eyebrow at him.
"I am so sorry, Parker. I was just-" Sean sighed.
"Are you okay?" Parker asked, concerned about Sean who seemed upset. Sean nodded.
"I am, it's just. Mark hasn't been paying attention to me all night and it's just like-" Sean began to ramble on for what seemed to be hours because they had a hot boy waiting for them. "And I feel like maybe he's ignoring me or avoiding me or both. I even dressed up for him because I never dress up when I go to these things because I feel too self conscious." Parker's eyes scanned over Sean.
"What are you?" Parker scrunched up their nose. Sean did a similar move of confusion.
"I'm a dog, duh." Sean pointed to his floppy ears and his beige t-shirt and pants. His shirt had a whitish-tan felt piece glued to it to symbolize the belly. Parker burst into a fit of laughter.
"That's not sexy." Parker told him. Sean frowned.
"I'm not trying to look sexy." Sean folded his arms over his chest and hugged himself.
"Okay well, I'm sure Mark would be paying attention to you if you were a sexy dog." Parker smirked and Sean deadpanned.
"A what!?"
"Well think about it. I figure everybody goes as a sexy cat but nobody goes as a sexy dog." Parker nodded their head as if they were a genius, because they were.
"How...original...?" Sean offered up.
"Oh just come here!" Parker dragged Sean off to the Mark's office where it had been locked with a keypad. Only Mark and Sean knew the code. "Punch it in!"
"Why?" Sean asked, accusingly.
"Oh just do it." Parker commanded. Sean sighed.
"Fine but look away." Sean told them as he punched in the key code. Parker looked away, because they knew how to listen. Sean and Parker entered, once the door opened. Parker immediately went over to the desk and started rummaging through the drawers. "Woah what the hell do you think you're doing?" Sean asked. Parker laughed
"I'm looking for scissors." They explained. "And I found them." Parker pulled out a pair of scissors and held them up in the air, a gleam of delight on their face. "Now come here." Parker launched themselves at Sean and when they emerged, Sean was completely different. "Uh...?"Sean grimaced as he looked in the mirror.
"Sexy dog." Parker offered up. "Woof! Now go get your man." Sean left and Parker took their own advice. Walking with their chest puffed out, as if that would make them seem more appealing, Parker found Kodi once more. He was in the kitchen getting them both a drink. Parker went to walk over to him but before they could two drinks were shoved into their hands by Evan. Kodi turned around with two drinks as well and laughed.
"Looks like we're getting fucked up tonight." Kodi laughed.
"Are we perhaps going to get lit?" Parker offered up. Kodi groaned.
"Sure, why not?" He chuckled. The two of them found a spot and drank their cups, double handed. As they sat and talked, Kodi's phone went off.
"Oh no, it's my little sister. She's out trick or treating and needs a ride home. I gotta go." Kodi said as he rushed off. Parker frowned. Daithi came up and sat next to him.
"Woah...party foul..." He empathized. Parker growled and left in search of Craig. When he found Craig and Tyler they were sitting on the couch together.
"There you are! Who was that boy you were with! Tell me everything!" Craig bounced excitedly. Parker told the two about the events of that night and about how Kodi had to leave.
"You know what this means don't you?" Tyler asked. Parker shook their head. "Kodi's Cinderella leaving the ball at midnight and your his prince charming."

Daithi, Lui, Marcel, Minx, Felix
Daithi knew he was the life of the party and with his group of friends, he was practically a god. Everybody worshiped Daithi...at least that's what Daith thought. And his friends were more than happy to let him think that. Early on in the night, Daithi, Lui, and Marcel clung to Mark and wouldn't let him go. Although once they could see how pissed Sean was, they left him alone. But that only left room for more people to come in and bother Mark. Daithi, Marcel, and Lui went in search of something more fun to do. It was a party after all, they should act like it. The boys walked past a group of girls who were so wasted they dumped their drinks all over themselves.
"Woah, party foul!" Daithi called out and all the boys laughed. Daithi smirked to himself and made a mental note that that joke was a good idea. A girl and a guy who were standing off to the sidelines laughed as well.
"Funny dude." The girl commented. "I'm Minx, and the guy right there who's high on edibles is Felix." Felix offered up a goofy smile and went back to doing whatever he was doing, which seemed to be trying to cross his eyes by staring at his nose.
"Now that's a party foul." Daithi teased and the whole group laughed and Daithi smiled a huge smile. He was on fire tonight. The group walked around for a bit, talking and discovering other party fouls that Daithi would comment on and make the group laugh. It wasn't until Daithi saw someone he recognized that he broke apart from the group a bit. "Hey, I recognize you from the waiting room. It was-"
"Tyler." Tyler offered up and smiled at him.
"Yeah, Tyler! Say, how's that boyfriend of yours?" Daithi asked. Tyler's smile went wide when Craig was mentioned.
"He's great, actually he's getting us some drinks." Tyler explained.
"That's awesome. You know I really like your costume, Jughead right-" Daithi was cut off before he could finish by a very angry Betty Coo- Craig. Before Daithi could thik he was drenched in two cups of alcohol.
"Woah! Party foul!" Daithi jumped back and stared at Craig with wide eyes. "What did I do?!"
"That's for trying to steal my man twice! Don't think I don't recognize you!" Craig growled out.
"Daithi wasn't trying to steal me! Craig what are you talking about?!" Tyler raised his voice.
"I-I.." Craig stuttered out. Daithi laughed a little bit.
"I wasn't trying to steal your man. I promise." He held his hand out for Craig to shake. "Nice to meet you man. I'm Daithi and I'm straight." He offered up a smile even though alcohol dripped down his face.
"O-Oh..." Craig blushed, obviously embarrassed. Daithi just shook his head.
"It's okay, man." He told him and left with his friends, which now consisted of Minx and Felix. On their way to find a new place to sit, or rather stand and talk, they stumbled upon another one of Daithi's so called party fouls.
"No, he doesn't!" The group heard. "And don't you ever kiss my fucking boyfriend again!" They watched as a boy's eyes turn to death glares and launch himself at another boy.
"Woah! Party foul!" Daithi called out, hoping to get another round of laughs.
"Daithi stop saying that, that's like the tenth time you've said that tonight." Minx laughed at him, though there was a slight irritation in her voice. Although this didn't stop the two boys from going at each other. They continued to punch as wrestle one another.
"Stop!" Another boy called out. Mark rushed over to the scene and pulled the two of them apart.
"Now what the hell is the issue here?!" Mark growled out.
"This guy crashed the party! He kissed my boyfriend and made a scene! Kick him out, Mark!" The boy who got in the fight but seemed to be on the right side of things yelled. Mark nodded to Daithi and the group. They each picked up a part of the boy's body and carried him to the door. Except Lui, who seemed to be too short to help. He opened the door instead. The group threw him out into the hall and locked the door.
"And stay out!" Daithi called out after him. They walked back over to the boys who had introduced themselves.
"Thank you, er-" Jonathan stopped, not knowing their names.
"This is Lui, that's Marcel, and that there is Daithi." Mark explained, gesturing to each boy. Jonathan offered up a small wave and the group took off again in search of a place to talk. Upon, throwing a body out into the hall, the group worked up a thirst. They all went into the kitchen to make themselves some drinks. Felix kept making really bad jokes the whole time that nobody knew the punchline to. The shattering of a bottle could be heard and when Daithi turned around it was Sean and Craig, the one who dumped alcohol on his head.
"Woah, party foul!" Daithi called out and Minx groaned in annoyance. Lui, Marcel and Daithi immediately started to clean up the spill. They couldn't have a mess in their best friend's house. They exited the kitchen and finally made their way over to the big couch in the living room where a kid was just Cinderella'd. Daithi walked over and sat down next to them. "Woah, party foul..." He offered his condolences and Minx pulled at her hair.
"Is that all you know how to say?!" Minx screeched.
"Actually my vocabulary is actually quite profound I just choose not to express myself in this way." Daithi explained and Minx stormed off, as did the kid.
