X Marks the Spot

Somewhere, not so far away, there was a man dressed as a pirate and another man dressed in a blue dress and black stripped knee-high socks. They were standing under a lamp post as the pirate dressed man was looking at his map.

The man in the blue dress fumbled with the lace on his dress as he whined, "Howwll! Why am in a dress?"

The raven haired grinned as he tapped the red head on the nose, "Because you are Alice. And I am the pirate that will find me treasure!" He laughed at himself for trying to sound like a pirate as he waved his map in the air. Fujimoto frowned as his shoulders sagged.

"Arrgh me mateys! Let's go find me treasure!" Howl grabbed the red head's wrist as he pointed his now rolled up map in a certain direction.

"H-Howl! Wait!" Fujimoto gasped as he was being pulled by an excited raven haired. Kids from all over the neighborhood were dressed up in weird costumes for this special day and were walking up to random houses, screaming, "Trick or Treat!" The adults that answered the door smiled and gave the kids some candy, which the kids in turn thanked the adults then ran off to continue to fill up their Halloween bags.

Fujimoto had slightly wanted to try the candy the kids were receiving, but his friend had made it difficult to stop as Howl continued to drag the red head, "Howl! Where are we going?" Fujimoto panted.

"We're going to find the 'X' that marks the spot! This way!" The raven haired didn't seem to even take a glance at his map as he took a turn.

"An 'X'…?" The red haired muttered as he frowned.

After turn, after turn, after kid, after apology (Fujimoto had bumped into the poor fello XD), and after turn, Fujimoto thought that the pale man was lost, "Howl? May I see the map?"

"Only the captain can see the map!"Howl grinned as he glance behind him at the red head. Fujimoto opened his mouth the say something but then closed it when some tall shrubs came into view.

"H-Howl! Watch out!"

"Don't worry!" The raven haired chuckled as he jumped into the tall shrubs, pulling the red head with him.

"AHH!" Fujimoto screamed as green leaves blocked his view. For a moment, he felt like he was falling through a hole with no end. Flashes of clocks and tea cups and rabbits filled his head, confusing the red head.

"This must be a dream…must be a dream…!" He muttered to himself as he shielded his face with an arm.

"You can open your eyes now." A familiar voice spoke in his ear, shaking him out of his thoughts. As he removed his arm from his face, he noticed something familiar about his surroundings.

"T-this is…this was where we started! So we went all over town for nothing?" Howl smirked, "Arrgh, that is not true," He paused as he leaned over to caress the red head's cheek, "I have found my treasure." Blood rushed up to Fujimoto's cheeks as the raven haired brought their lips together.

"Happy Halloween." The raven haired said in a low voice after he broke the kiss.

The red haired smiled, "Happy Halloween."

"Yes, a very happy Halloween indeed…hee hee." A large light and dark stripped purple cat chuckled as he grinned widely, watching the couple from afar from his perch on a nearby tree branch. The cat laughed as his tail began to "unwind" itself as if it was made out of a roll of ribbon, then his behind "unwounded", then his feet, then his front paws…and all that was left was his grin, which slowly disappeared into the night sky.
