A/N: I guess I'm going to consider this a prologue oneshot to the upcoming Halloween short I'm writing. I was debating on whether I should have it be a regular one (like dressing up for said holiday) or if I should do something more supernatural with it (investigating a haunted house...actually, I might consider doing it anyway considering what I added for AJ). I decided to go with the former, though. May or may not have to do with the picture I drew of Ren with blue hair XD (*cough* hint at his outfit *cough*). Also, I guess this is inspired by not only weird Halloween outfits I've seen the Try Guys dress up in but also my experiences in an actual Halloween store.
DISCLAIMER: I do NOT own Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's. That goes to the respective owner. I only own my OC(s).
Costume Hunting:
(Yusei's POV)
"I swear, if I see another costume dealing with certain body parts, I'm gonna scream," Ren muttered, his eye twitching.
"You make it sound like you don't want to see said body parts," I replied in a teasing tone.
"Hey, I know what they look like. I just don't want to dress up in that with so many kids out and about during Halloween. Sure gives a whole new meaning to 'being a d***.'" I heard him mutter the last part.
"Well, then what do you want to dress up as?"
"I dunno. Just not the usual vampire, werewolf, zombie, ghoul, or ghost is all I know." He sighed, leaning his head back. "Though, I guess if worse comes to worse, I guess I'll just throw a sheet over my head and call myself a ghost like when I was five."
I chuckled. "Seriously?"
"What, it worked! But Chelsea was a bit mad at us 'cause we kind of ruined said bed sheets."
"Can't imagine why."
"Don't act like you've never gotten trouble when you were little."
"Never said I didn't."
"Mm-hmm, sure. At any rate, do you have a clue what you want to dress up as?"
"Not really. There hadn't been much of a chance for that back in the Satellite." Not like this place is going to have something that won't be within a good price range, I thought, checking a tag and wincing at the price.
"Well, let's just take a look around in here and try to find an idea for what you'd like. Then we can go so I can place an order."
"What?"
"Oh, right, forgot to tell you. I don't usually get my costumes at stores. I get them through Allen's cousin who's really good at making costumes. Mostly of fictional characters from shows or movies. I've been getting practically all my costumes through her for the last three or four years."
"So we're just looking around then?"
"Weeeellll, I didn't say I wasn't probably going to get a few things to decorate my place with. But as far as costumes, yeah. Not getting them right now."
Well, that's a bit of a relief. Now the question is just- My thoughts were cut off when I heard a gasp and yell from Ren. "No way! They've got Voltron: Legendary Defender outfits! Awesome!"
"Someone's a fan," I mused.
"Pff, don't act like you aren't."
"And who was the one to introduce me to it?"
He blew a raspberry. "Shut up. Hey, maybe you should dress up as Shiro or Keith from the show."
"Any reason for choosing those two characters?"
"Well, you kind of have similar leadership skills like Shiro. Plus, you always look out for everyone."
"And why Keith?"
"Ah...uh...well..."
"Hmm?"
"I'm just overly curious as to how you look in the red suit is all."
"Is that the only reason?"
"Well, no, but I'm not spilling any more than that."
"If that's the case, I think it'd fit you more."
"What, why?"
"Because you're as much of a hothead as he is."
"Hey!" I chuckled while he pouted. "Well, too bad for you, I decided on my costume a while back."
"Oh? And what is it?"
"Nope, I'm keeping it a secret 'til the costume party."
"...now I'm curious and a bit worried as to what your costume is..."
He rolled his eyes. "Yes, because it's totally going to look like it came out of something like Fifty Shades of Grey. Come on, have a bit more confidence in me. Besides, I'd like to be out of AJ's infamous death glare for once."
"Guess that's a relief. You sure you don't want to give me a hint?"
"Yep, I'm sure. Just wait 'til the party."
A/N: Bleh, sorry it's short. I've been stuck on Wolf's Rain for a while and now I've gotten hooked on the first Yu-Gi-Oh! series after so long. I blame the Season 0 clips I've been watching...and also starting the manga...yeah, I think I might need someone to keep me on track with stuff X'D Or just stop surfing the web and actually write stuff X''D
Also, I guess Yusei's reaction the prices is kind of my own as well. Seriously, I got one of the blades from Attack on Titan and that thing alone cost a bit over $20 (then again, I guess there could be worse prices out there ''). Unfortunately, I can't get a second one to go with the outfit as the Halloween store that is supposed to have it apparently doesn't carry it (or much of anything anime related) anymore. And it's too late to order it online...I think...
