Chapter 14: *Happy Halloween!*

Pitch Black, the Nightmare King, the Boogeyman, was almost dreading Halloween this year. His favorite holiday of the whole year, and the Guardian of Fun had taken his favorite parts of the night away for some stupid game.

Jack had somehow managed to get him involved with the "1st Annual Guardian's Halloween Costume Contest", judged by the local children who believed in all of them. Believed in, but not feared, as that Jamie kid had said. Pitch didn't know what was worse – giving in to the teenage spaz and his ideas of Halloween fun, or agreeing to wear an embarrassing costume.

Jack thought it would be fun if all the guardians dressed up like each other and everyone would be someone different. Jack begged Pitch to lend him one of his black robes so he could alter it to his size, along with Pitch being forced to dress up like Jack.

White and blue were NOT his colors. They made him look darker than he actually was, and they simply didn't look good on him. He had to go out and get hair spray to make his hair white, and he had to use up the entire can. Oh well; light-grey was close enough. The one blue hoodie Jack owned he now temporarily possessed – and it smelled just like him. Earthy and cold and elegant for such a rowdy thing. Because of his long torso, the end of the fabric only went down to above his navel. The brown pants – shorts thing was no better. It was skin tight and barely covering the tops of his knees. He was so embarrassed feeling exposed like this, especially in front of children . . . If he didn't frighten them as the Nightmare King, this outfit certainly would. His lean muscles, like his calves and abs, might attract unwanted attention, but he had Jack to blame for that.

Pitch overlooked himself in the mirror. His lean muscles, like his calves and abs, might attract unwanted attention, but he had Jack to blame for that. I'm too old for this shit, he thought. All the clothes seemed to be in place . . . might as well get the night over with so he can come back and sleep. He sighed.

"I guess I just need his staff and this'll be complete," he muttered aloud.

He left the walk-in closet (a new addition to his bedroom) and the bathroom to be surprised by the unexpected guest sitting on his bed.

"My clothes look good on you, Pitch. A little small, but shows the nice things."

Jack Frost was dressed cleanly in a smaller version of Pitch's black robe. It hugged his body in all the right places, from his arms to his stomach and down his legs. He had done a perfect job with getting the clothing to fit. He even went through the trouble of, what looked to be, dying his hair black.

"I have two questions, Frost. One, why are you in my room when we're all supposed to meet in the forest, and two, you almost wear black as well as I do." Pitch smirked and extended his grey hand, silently asking for the wooden staff.

"One, I wanted to see you first, and two, that wasn't a question, but thanks." Jack gave the half-smile that made Pitch blush. Thankfully his skin was too dark for it to be seen well. "By the way, Pitch," Jack stood up from his position on the bed and began walking towards Pitch, "when I say 'nice things', I'm also referring to here." Jack bit his bottom lip and brushed his fingertips along Pitch's length, constricted by the tight fabric. It's bigger than Jack's to begin with, and now it was really starting to show the difference.

"Jack, not now, we have to go," Pitch said blandly and placed a large hand on his shoulder. No way in hell was he going to go to a dumb party, dress in embarrassing clothes, and succumb to Jack's desires all in the same night. Two of the three was enough.

"Fine, but how 'bout afterwards?"

"No."

"Please, Pitch?"

"No!"

"Why not?"

"Because I'm not in the mood, and I'm this close to dismissing this whole idea and just not going," Pitch held his thumb and index finger an inch apart. Jack's eyes widened.

"But, you agreed to do this. You can't go back on your word, Pitch!"

"Jack, I'm only doing this to make you happy. You were really excited for tonight and I figured I'd go for it if it meant that much to you. But with you acting like this," Pitch paused and looked at Jack's staff in his hand, "I don't know."

Jack's expression was calm. He didn't look hurt or distressed, which made Pitch worry a little.

"Alright, I understand. Yes, I had planned for tonight to be a fun time to be with the others and the kids, but when I saw how good you looked in my clothes, and me in yours for that matter, I thought that it could be an interesting option." Jack hooked his fingers together and looked up at him. "I'm sorry for making you feel uncomfortable. If it bothers you that much, you don't have to go tonight." He gave a half-smile. He was fully aware now of how Pitch felt, and knowing that made him happy.

Pitch's stomach tightened. He wrapped an arm around Jack's shoulders and pulled him against his warm body in a tight embrace. Jack returned the favor and hugged him almost tighter. Pitch smiled and softly kissed the top of Jack's head.

"One more thing," Jack muffled through the thick blue fabric. He glanced back up and smiled wide. "I kinda knew my clothes wouldn't fit you, so I had Onyx get me your measurements and Jamie helped me fix up one of his dad's old jackets. Looks just like mine! Just without the frost. That's my trademark."

Onyx clopped a hoof behind them at the doorway with the large hoodie draped over her back. Large brown pants were lain on top of it.

"And the pants, too, it seems," Pitch chuckled, seeing the new clothes.

"Yeah, those I did myself!" Jack left Pitch's arms and ran to retrieve the new clothes from Onyx. "Thanks," he whispered to her. "Take off my hoodie, Pitch!" Jack ordered before turning back towards him.

"Why?"

"'Cause I want a quick show! Just the top half, I promise." Pitch tried to hide his smile, but stripped off the hoodie quickly. He tossed the small jacket onto the bed beside him and turned around in a circle with his arms outstretched. "Thank you!" Jack walked over and handed him the new pants and hoodie.

Pitch took the clothes, leaned down, and pecked Jack's lips. Seeing the pale face go from white to pink so quickly made him smirk.

"I'll go put these on." He whispered in Jack's ear and strutted back to the bathroom. Guess some things never change, he thought.

Jack looked back at Onyx, as if he couldn't believe what just happened, and she winked at him.

That night was just as Jack planned it would be. North dressed up as Bunny – he had covered himself in different colored ribbons like a mummy, even his hat and his beard for extra effect. Creative, and kind of became hard to look at after a while. Bunny had done North – he borrowed one of his coats and hat and stuffed a bunch of pillows under the coat. Funny and clever. Tooth dressed up like Bunny– she borrowed a pair of oversized rabbit ears from one of the kids and wore a big fluffy light grey jacket. A little underdone, but still worthy of admiration.

Jack had of course gone as Pitch – he wore a smaller version of his usual robes and dyed his hair jet black. Pitch of course went as Jack – he borrowed Jack's staff and wore the one-of-a-kind hoodie and pants made just for him.

Jamie, Cupcake, Pippa, and the others met them in the park in town. Some were vampires, ghosts, and fairies. All of them had a great time in the cool crisp evening, laughing and enjoying themselves, with the guardians entertaining the children.

Only little Sophie, dressed as a fairy, willingly approached Pitch. She took his hand in her tiny one and led him to the heart of the crowd. Onyx had even come by and given some of the kids a ride into the sky, but not too high.

By the time the children all had to get home, Pitch was glad he came.

"How was it Pitch? Even Sophie wasn't afraid of you!"

"She is indeed a brave little girl. Thank you, Jack. I did have a good time."

"Yes! Tonight was fun, Pitch! Not so bad being good once in a while, no?" North exclaimed. Bunny and Tooth joined him at his sides and nodded in agreement.

"Trust me, this behavior won't last forever." North and the others smiled, not knowing if he was joking or being serious.

"I'd say tonight was pretty successful, Jack," Tooth added.

"But some of us better head on back, y'know?" Bunny said.

"We will hopefully see you soon Jack! Pitch, take care." The three guardians loaded themselves into North's sleigh and took off. Jack and Pitch were alone together once again.

"Now then" Pitch started, "would you like to come back to my place? It's cold out here being barefoot and all."

"I'd love to. Hot cocoa with mini marshmallows?"

"Whatever you want."

Jack grabbed his staff from Pitch's hand and twirled it so the crook was around the back of Pitch's neck. He pulled down and kissed Pitch's lips tenderly. Pitch smiled.

A happy Halloween indeed.

Hello Again! ^u^

So this is the Halloween chapter. I wanted to to be more cute than sexy this time, but for an extra chapter, I'd say it went as planned. And it is NOT part of the Dream Catcher storyline!

Information about the previous and next chapters:

Please understand that everything I'm writing will be explained in later chapters. I am doing the best I can with staying updated. I have a lot of schoolwork, after-school activities, and sports to keep up with, so I don't have that much time to just sit down and write.

BUT I hope everyone has an awesome and spooky Halloween! It's on a Friday this year, so go all out and have fun!

Thanks a Bunches!
