~Halloween Morning~

Alfred decided that Summer was to far away to wait to go ghost hunting. He knew just the place to go but then as he was taking a shower a idea struck him. It was a idea so devilishly evil that he could not help but to laugh. Of course a idea such as this one would need pawns just as wicked and clever as himself, people willing to help him make this plot a reality.

He would scare the living day lights out of his poor stepbrother and his not-boyfriend. Alfred was shocked that the two hadn't asked each other out yet. It was painful to watch the two of them hang out together, they both were aware of their feelings now and they are too wimpy to do anything about it. He was going to scare them so badly they would have nightmares about it for years to come. The first person he decided to call was Lovino, he knew that Lovino would never miss out on a chance to play a prank of Gilbert.

Lovino even gave him the numbers of people who would be willing to help him in his plan. Ludwig, Feliciano, Elisaveta, soon made up the rest of his team. They all met up at Lovino's house so he could explain what the plan was. They were lucky he was such a horror movie nut, he knew his shit. He explained his plan and what he wanted to happen, it was now time to give everyone their roles to play. "Ludwig since you're the biggest, you'll have to be the axe murderer. Liz and Lovi you head over to the house and start setting things up. Feli you can be the victim, we'll put you in costume so they don't recognize you. I'll get them there tonight, and get their phones away from them so if they panic they can't call the cops. Ludwig will then pretend to kill me or something, then give them a good scare." Alfred smiled, he was going to love this.

Everyone nodded, understanding the plan. One by one they got around for it. Alfred helped Ludwig with his hair and make-up, making it so no one would be able to recognize him, he got him some clothes and looked up different types of blood splatter online before staining the shirt and pants with fake blood (that he was proud to say, he made himself). Once Ludwig was ready, he quickly gave him his script and moved on to help Feliciano.

Alfred grabbed one of his mom's old dresses that she never wore and gave it to Feliciano to try on. It was a little short but other then that it would have to work, they were going to have to make him some fake breasts. They bought him a wig to ware and Alfred did his make-up. He told Feilicano how to look when he was pretending to be dead, they were going to have to bobby pin the wig on.

A part of him wondered if he was taking this to far, he shrugged it off and went on take make a blood pack that would make it look like he was bleeding, he laughed as he attached it to his stomach. He was dressed up as Captain America, he hoped the fake blood would wash out. He set out to get Matthew and Gilbert to the house just as the sun was beginning to set.

It would get dark quick and his horror movie would start and his two stars had no clue what they were a part of. Their fear would be real and the panic would be unbearable. When he arrived home Matthew and Gilbert were already in their costumes, with candy. He smiled and pulled down his mask, it was time for him to play his role. He sat with them and smirked. "Matt lets go ghost hunting tonight! It'll be fucking awesome, it Halloween we should do something scary." He said and Matthew looked up at him. Alfred could see it in his brother's eyes, he was picturing Gilbert scared and clinging to him or he was picturing himself pretending to be scared and clinging to Gilbert, either way he knew Matthew was in. If Matthew was in then he knew Gilbert was, after all they needed him to drive.

"I thought you wanted to wait until it was Summer...but I don't really care do you have flashlights?" Matthew asked and Alfred ran upstairs to grab a flashlight. Matthew watched him run up the stairs. "I have a bad feeling about this." He muttered but ignored the feeling. Alfred really wanted to do this ghost hunting thing. Gilbert shoved more candy into his mouth.

"Ghost hunting sounds like fun, maybe we'll even see something, you never know." Gilbert said and began to wonder what a ghost would look like. His intentions for this hunt were no where near the same as Matthew's. Alfred came back hold a big black flash light, he switched the batteries for ones that were nearly dead. Next step was to get their phones away from them.

They got into Gilbert's car and Alfred was able to pick pocket Matthew's phone. Gilbert's phone sat in the cigaret ashes container, right in the door. Alfred kept his eyes on the phone then his hopes soared when the phone made dying beeps before going black, things couldn't have been more perfect. Gilbert took his cell phone in his hand. "Well shit, I should have charged it when it started beeping yesterday." He said and set it back down when he couldn't get it to turn back on.

Matthew just rolled his eyes at him. "I told you, you should have charged it." He said and Gilbert grunted back at him, Alfred pointed the way for him to go.

"I know you did, no need to remind me." Gilbert said back and they glanced at one another, their eyes locking together. Alfred felt like gagging, he was sick and tired of feeling like a unwilling third wheel to their eye fucking, he didn't want to see that. "Anything else you would like to remind me of?" Gilbert asked and smirked at him.

Matthew smirked back at him. "Tons." He replied and Alfred rolled his eyes. He pointed again and prayed that they would be there soon, he could not stand a second of this any longer, he couldn't wait for Ludwig to pretend to kill him and the drag his body off.

They finally reached the house. Alfred texted Lovino letting him know that they were there. Lovino was quick to text him back. 'You fucking idiot, this wasn't a fucking house! When I see you, I'm going to punch your face. This house is a fucking funeral house, there's one of those morgue things in the basement! What the hell do you have any idea how fucking scary that shit is, I hope spiders crawl all over your fucking face. Liz had a blast getting shit set up, you better be happy you s.o.b because when I get my hands on you, you will be dead. Its fucking scary in there, bastard, you fat bastard'. Alfred finished reading and felt the hairs on his neck stand up. Lovino wasn't done yet.

'Potato bastard is ready out back for you guys, I got him a real fucking axe so he can really break shit down, don't worry when he kills you the axe will be plastic. But be careful some of the floor boards are really weak, I want to be the one to hurt you so don't let the creepy hell hole beat me to the punch. Just hurry up and play the stupid as prank.' Lovino's final text read and Alfred chuckled. Gilbert parked his car down the road that way if people saw it they wouldn't automatically think they were breaking in.

The front door was locked up tight and the windows were sealed up. "Guys this way, let's see if there's a way in though the back." Alfred said and ran off with the flash light. Matthew tensed up he didn't remember it getting this dark, he took Gilbert by the sleeve of his costume and pulled him along as he chased after Alfred. Alfred found a open window, he crawled inside. Alfred took a few steps around, some spots in the floor were really weak. He didn't want anyone to actually get hurt so he was sure to warn them about it. "Matt hurry up!" He yelled and Matthew crawled though the window next. Gilbert tried the back door and it opened up.

They walked around the top floor, neither Matthew or Gilbert were aware of the basement yet. Gilbert walked around looking at the dust of everything, it was super creepy, then his eyes scanned across something. At first he paid no attention to it, then it clicked inside his head what it was. Matthew was by his side and he reached out and took him by his hand just out of instinct. Matthew blushed and looked at their hands, it was then he noticed what Gilbert was looking at. "Al! Get over here! Now!" Matthew snapped.

Alfred rushed over to them and shined a light on what the two of them were looking at. It was a puddle of fake blood that he had made, but when he took a step back covering his mouth he saw that it looked like something was dragged from the spot. He was so proud of them it looked like a actual crime had happened. Best of all both Matthew and Gilbert already looked scared. Alfred had to act the part, he got into character. "Maybe its just animal blood...we should get out of here...just to be safe." He said and Matthew began looking for his cell phone.

"Guys my phone is gone! I think it fell out." He said and he started looking for it. His eyes were wide and he was as white as a ghost.

"Leave it, we can come back for it when there's light out." Gilbert said, still holding tightly to his hand. He pulled him to the door. Alfred was just behind them, when Gilbert opened the door they could see Ludwig dragging a bloody axe, over his shoulder covered in the fake blood and in drag was Feliciano. Alfred's make-up job was perfect, they hardly looked like them selves. There was a hole in the ground, and Ludwig placed Feliciano inside, before they could see any further, Ludwig looked towards them and they all screamed.

Gilbert slammed the door close and grabbed a table and dragged it front of it. "We need to fucking call the fucking cops! Alfred do you have your phone!" Gilbert snapped. Alfred pretended to panic, he patted his legs, he felt his phone in his back pocket and Matthew's in his front. But with his costume on he knew they couldn't see the phones.

"I forgot mine at home!" He said his voice cracking. Matthew began to pace and started looking for his phone. He only stopped when Ludwig slammed the axe into the door. They all screamed and Gilbert huddled close to Matthew, standing just in front of him with one arm slightly out blocking him. The two of them took a step backwards, Matthew felt the board under his foot crack just a little, but he was to terrified to notice. There was no where for them to run to.

Alfred darted past them and yanked a door open only to give a blood chilling scream. They ran to him only to see a room filled with seats, some were on their sides, other broken with a leg or back missing. But in the middle of the room was Elisaveta (in costume, wearing a short blond wig, and a fake gash going across her face). Ludwig crawled in though the window and the group ran to find some way out.

Ludwig had grabbed the fake axe when they were freaking out over Elisaveta's body, he got Alfred cornered away from the rest and hit him in the stomach. Matthew couldn't even scream at his point, his eyes just got wide as Alfred's stomach turned red. Gilbert grabbed Matthew's arm and pulled him into another room.

But the floor boards were so rotten in that room that they fell though into the basement. Matthew landed just beside Gilbert, he wasn't hurt from the fall but it did knock the air right out of his lungs. He gasped and began couching. Gilbert's nose was bleeding all down his face but other then that he was perfectly fine. Ludwig walked around, confused as to where they went, it wasn't until he saw the hole that he figured out what had happened.

He quietly told Alfred. "If they are okay then keep going." He whispered and his phone began to vibrate in his pocket. He pulled it out and saw it was a drunk text from Arthur, he ignored it, he would deal with it later. Ludwig walked off to go back to scaring them.

Matthew finally was able to breathe, he looked over at Gilbert and clung to him before looking to see if he was alright. He wiped the blood away with the sleeve of his costume but the blood kept flowing. "Gil...oh shit Gil..." He felt a lump form in his throat, he was close to tears. Gilbert stood and pulled him to his feet, he shushed him and looked up. They could every step, their hearts were pounding and they then looked around in horror when they realized where they were hiding.

Gilbert pulled him into a room, the one where they cleaned the bodies. The room had no windows but it had a closet, he pulled out him out and they tried a couple other rooms down there. The bathroom had a window but it was far to small for either of them to fit though. He took him back into the cleaning room and they hid behind the cleaning table, from there they crawled to the old supplies closet.

"Gil we're going to die...we're going to die." Matthew whispered and he felt Gilbert hold his hand. The closet was pitch black, they couldn't see anything. But he could tell Gilbert was sitting in front of him. "I don't want to die dressed like a moose!" He told him, he was being serious, he didn't want his body found wearing this stupid costume, he hoped the killer would show some mercy and take it off him. Gilbert's costume wasn't any where near as embarrassing, he was some type of knight, he wasn't some fluffy animal.

"No we're not...we'll get out. I promise." He said and gave the hand a squeeze. Matthew reached out with his other hand and felt for him. His fingers touched his chest and he grabbed his shirt, just so he wouldn't lose him in the dark. Gilbert grabbed his other hand as well, Matthew could feel how fast his heart was beating, he could feel him breathing.

Matthew moved so he was closer to him, he wanted be able to feel his warmth. "Gilbert...were not getting out of here, but before we die...I need to tell you something." He started.

"There's something I need to tell you too." Gilbert whispered back to him. They both took a deep breath.

"I love you." They both confessed at the same time. There was a silence between them after the words came out. Matthew moved his hand so he was grasping Gilbert's costume by the collar. He yanked him forward and kissed him, Gilbert kissed him back. Matthew wrapped his arms around his neck and Gilbert's arms wrapped around the low of his back. He could taste the blood but he didn't care, he needed this, he wanted this.

The kiss was desperate, needing, and filled with pent-up passion and frustration. They both believed this to be their last kiss, there was a hungry to it that neither could understand, they didn't want it to end. Though the taste of blood in both their mouths there was something deliciously perfect. Matthew pushed him against the wall of the closet, he moved between Gilbert's legs and pressed against him. His hands moved down his chest before he took hold of his waist. Gilbert's cheeks were on fire, his mind was going blank, he tangled his fingers into Matthew's hair. Blood was still oozing from his nose but it didn't stop them, he could taste it on Matthew's tongue.

Before things could go any further the closet door flew open and they both parted and looked towards the supposed killed and they both screamed. Ludwig was so shocked by what he saw that he couldn't stay in character. He just stood there with his plastic axe with his jaw hanging open. Both Matthew and Gilbert stared at him. Gilbert stared at him really hard, finally he saw though the make up and messy dirty clothes and hair. He pushed Matthew back so he could stand up. His fist collided with Ludwig's jaw, before he broke down laughing and crying at the same time. "Its fucking Ludwig! Its my brother!" He screeched. Matthew walked out of the closet, he had the angry flames of hell burning within the pits of his eyes.

He had never been so angry before in his entire life. Ludwig confessed to everything and told them how Alfred came up with the idea. He showed them to the stairs and Matthew took the plastic axe from him. He came running up the stairs, screaming out a battle cry as he tore after his brother like a bat out of hell. Alfred nearly didn't make it out in time, he felt the air brush though his hair as Matthew's swing missed.

"Face me like a man Alfred! When I get my hands on you...you'll wish that you were never born, just dead sperm in a cheep motel bed sheet! Don't run from me!" He yelled and crawled out the window after him.

Alfred tripped and Matthew was on top of him beating him with the plastic axe. Being plastic the blows hurt like hell and were sure to leave some nasty looking bruises. Alfred howled and tried to get away. "It was a joke! I'm sorry! Why is there blood all around your mouth? Is that real!" He screamed.

"I thought you were dead, I thought we all were going to die! This was the worst joke ever Al! And yes the blood is fucking real!" Matthew screamed back. Ludwig and Gilbert had to pull Matthew off. Alfred looked at them and saw the blood all over Gilbert's face. His eyes went between Matthew and Gilbert, when it clicked he made a loud gagging sound.

After they Matthew to calm down everyone who was covered in fake blood changed clothes and squeezed into Gilbert's car. One by one he dropped everyone off until only Matthew and Alfred were left. Alfred flew out of the car and took off on his bike to go check on his very drunk boyfriend (who had been texting him nonstop). Matthew stayed in the car as he watched his brother go. He then turned to Gilbert, the blood around their mouths had now dried.

"Gilbert will you go out with me." Matthew asked and he smirked and laughed. Matthew stared at him, he still wasn't in a laughing mood.

"I wanted to be the one to ask you out...but yes, I will go out with you. How about next time we avoid ghost hunting." He said and Matthew unbuckled his seat belt. He leaned over and gave Gilbert another kiss, this once was just simple and quick.

"I was thinking more along the line of going out for dinner. I'll call you Friday." He said and smirked at him before getting out of the car. Gilbert watched him walk inside. He smiled and drove off, he felt butterflies in his stomach, but he knew one thing. He was definitely going to have nightmares tonight.

…

The bike ride to Arthur' apartment was long, it took him forever to get there. When he did, he found the door unlocked so he walked in. There were red plastic cups every where and the whole place smelled like beer, there were chips on the floor, and just stuff every where. Clearly it was the aftermath of a crazy Halloween party. Alfred wondered around whispering Arthur's name.

He opened the door to one of the bedrooms, only to see Lovino's boyfriend laying half way off his bed with his butt in the air, he was naked. Alfred closed the door, he had no idea Arthur lived with Lovino's boyfriend. He checked the address he had listed for Arthur just to make sure he was in the right place. When he realized that he was he tried the other bedroom.

Arthur was sitting at the edge of his bed swaying from side to side, with a bottle of rum in his hand. Funny enough he was dressed like a pirate captain. His white shirt was all the way open and the coat he was wearing was half way off. His hat was on his head at a downward angle. He held the drink into the air and drank the last of it. "'Why is the rum gone?'" He asked and flopped backwards laughing.

"Arthur what the hell? You do remember you have to be at the school this morning right. Come one lets put you to bed." Alfred said and he took the empty bottle from him and set it down on the nightstand. He slipped the coat off of him, it didn't look all that comfortable to sleep in, next he took the hat and tossed it to the floor.

Arthur wrapped his arms around his neck and pulled him onto the bed. "So wh-who are you suppose to be? Oh wait...you're suppose to be America Captain..." He laughed and Alfred got back to his feet, he recovered Arthur and shoved a pillow under his head. Arthur kept giggling to himself, he rolled on to his back and grabbed Alfred one more time, pulling him into a kiss. Alfred could taste the rum on his tongue, it was a flavor he didn't like. "Go on...spangle my stars." He said while fighting a fit of the giggles.

"You're drunk, just go to sleep okay. I'll spangle your stars when I'm older and you're sober, okay. Night." Alfred said and got him a glass of water. He placed it on the nightstand and made sure Arthur had fallen asleep before he also get a couple pain killers next to the glass. He locked the door before he left and got on his bike and made the trip back home.

…..

So yesterday I did a bit of job hunting. Also I ordered my cosplay so that makes me a little happy. But I got apps from every place I could. Even places I hate. Hell I even flirted with a guy just so he would be interested in hiring me. I need a job asap because I need to make my car payment.

But everyone's reviews really helped to cheer me up, I still feel pretty shitty but better.

So please and if you see anything that needs to be capitalized let me know, my shift button is being weird.
