It was Storybrooke's annual Halloween party. It was the first one that Mulan and Aurora had been in Stroybrooke for since their arrival almost a year ago. Aurora had been running around for weeks discussing Halloween costumes. Her incessant use of the internet and consumption of movies and television from the land they were in had given them a huge array of options. Mulan straight out refused to wear cheerleader costumes to be Britney and Santana from Glee. There was no way in the world she was wearing a skirt.
She had turned down countless suggestions from characters from The Big Band Theory to matching Ketchup and Mustard costumes. She only started to consider when Aurora discussed superheroes. That was certainly something Mulan could consider. Iron Man was out because she didn't want to wear a mask which also took out Superman and Spiderman. Aurora had already decided on Black Widow so after watching the movie it made the post sense to go as Hawkeye. It made Mulan happy to watch Aurora search the internet, buy material, and put it all together for their costumes. What they were currently wearing looked better than any costumes from a store.
"Is Emma coming?" Mulan asked on their way to the car.
"Of course dear." Aurora said grinning back at her. "Everyone will be there." Mulan took this time to appreciate the outfit that Aurora was currently sporting. Black heeled boots led to a leather jumpsuit that hugged tightly to Aurora's legs, tight stomach, and arms before swooping down to show just a little bit of cleavage. She had her hair slightly curled with a little bit more makeup than she normally did. She always looked beautiful. Tonight she looked hot and dare Mulan think it, she looked dangerous.
Mulan wore her own boots with jeans and a leather sleeveless vest that zipped up the front with an almost exact replica of Hawkeye's original outfit. Her left forearm was covered with a protective shield for Hawkeye's archery. She had a sleek black bow slung over her shoulders. She decided that arrows weren't necessary considering having them present might lead to someone getting shot by one. She had to admit that they looked pretty fantastic together.
They arrived at Jefferson's mansion that was completely decorated for the occasion. There was no way magic wasn't involved in this transformation. Pumpkins and various implements meant to be spooky filled the lawn as orange and white light shaded certain aspects of the front lawn in bright light with dark shadows between them. As they walked up the stairs, a man stood to take any coats and point them in the direction of the party. They walked down a hallway with red lights that flooded the room and made it slightly more eerie than the lawn outside. They passed into the party where the sound of music, laughter, and chatter assaulted their senses. A table lined the right side of the room with food and drinks before a stage that took over the front part of the room containing a DJ.
Aurora had her arm looped through Mulan's as they scanned the crowd. Mulan saw Emma, Regina, David, Snow, Ruby, Belle, and various other people they knew littered throughout the crowd. It still made Mulan stare to see Regina looking so happy.
"I'm going to get us a drink." Mulan said as she untangled herself from Aurora's arm. She grabbed a cocktail for Aurora and a beer for herself before she saw Emma slide up next to the table.
"Hey." Emma said grabbing a beer for herself. "Awesome costumes."
"Thanks." Mulan said turning to scan the crowd for Aurora. She noticed Killian entirely to close for her liking as he chatted up her girlfriend. He was obnoxiously dressed as himself.
Emma saw the disapproving look on Mulan's face. "I wouldn't worry about him. I think Aurora is the least likely to be fooled by his stupidity out of everyone in this entire time. I literally think he could get with David before Aurora."
"I know." Mulan said barely looking back at Emma before pushing herself off from the table.
She slid her arm around Aurora's waist as Killian continued to talk in a low voice to a slightly blushing but slightly annoyed Aurora. Killian stopped his words when he saw the warrior approach.
"Did I interrupt something?" Mulan asked with a bite to her voice.
"Of course not dear." Aurora said turning with a smile on her face to take the cocktail Mulan offered her. "Killian was admiring my costume. I was telling him all about sewing it and why Black Widow wears it. He has never even heard of the Avengers."
"I'm sure you care so much about that." Mulan said rolling her eyes at the stupid pirate.
"Ah." He said stepping close to Aurora. "I care about anything that a beautiful woman does."
If Mulan had a sword, she would have pulled it on him right there and cut off his other hand. She was thankful and regretted leaving the arrows at home at the same time. She stepped between him and Aurora before the pirate made a wise decision and walked away. You could see the frustration rolling off Mulan like waves.
"I hate him." Mulan barked. Aurora sat her drink down to turn Mulan to face her.
"Hey don't take it personal. He's disgusting, but he is certainly flattering." Aurora knew as soon as the words were out of her mouth that she shouldn't have said it.
"Do you want to be with him?" Mulan asked. Her mask of indifference that she only wore in battle swept across her face.
"Of course not." Aurora said stepping closer. "I didn't flirt back with him. You know I love you. You know you are the only one I want to be with."
"I've been told before by Mr. Gold that it wouldn't be long before you left me for a man considering how our relationship started. When you talk to Hook like that, it doesn't make me think he was wrong." Mulan answered. Aurora drew back and actually slapped her. It didn't hurt Mulan. It probably hurt Aurora's hand more than anything. Aurora turned on her heel to head out the door. Mulan quickly followed knowing that she had said the worst possible thing to hurt Aurora.
They stormed past Ruby and Belle.
"Trouble in paradise you think?" Ruby asked.
"I saw Aurora talking to that gross pirate. I'm sure it has something to do with that." Belle answered.
"Maybe we should have let Regina catch him on fire when she tried to last year." Ruby answered again.
Aurora stopped about twenty feet from the house out of earshot of the other guests before she rounded on Mulan.
"I'm sorry I hit you." The princess said. She looked defeated.
"I deserved it." Mulan answered tentatively. She was using her soft voice that was exclusively for Aurora's ears only.
"What I said wasn't right at all. Gold said that to get in my head." Mulan spoke looking down.
Aurora used her finger to tilt Mulan's chin up to look in her eyes. "I picked you Mulan. After you told me you loved me, I chose you. No one else. I chose you because I love you. Yes, it is nice to hear Killian call me beautiful and say those nice things, but I don't love him. I love you."
Mulan started to speak before Aurora continued. "This isn't about gender stupid. You lite a fire in my vagina that no man could extinguish."
Mulan laughed. Aurora looked shocked that she had actually said that.
"I'm sorry." Aurora said.
"No, I am." Mulan answered. They stood there in silence for a few minutes before Mulan gave Aurora a quick kiss. "You are the most wonderful woman in the world. You are the most beautiful woman in all the worlds. If I told you that more often you wouldn't care to hear it from anyone else." Mulan kissed her again.
"Do you want to get back to the party?" Mulan asked.
"No." Aurora said quickly. "I want you to take me home. You can tell me how beautiful I am there."
Aurora's fingers were tangled in Mulan's hair in a heated kiss before she could get their front door open. The kiss was heated and a little harsh. It was Aurora's way of conveying the passion she felt for Mulan through their kiss.
Mulan lifted slightly and toned legs wrapped around her waist as she sat Aurora down on a small entrance table they usually threw their car keys on. Mulan pulled back to look into Aurora's eyes. Her pupils were wide, cheeks flushed, lips parted slightly, and her lips were puffy from the kissing.
"God you look good in this costume." Mulan said before pushing forward back into their kiss. Aurora's hands unzipped the leather vest that she wore and pushed until it hit the floor. Mulan used both hands to unzip Aurora's boots and pull them off. She smiled into the kiss as the boots clattered to the floor.
She lifted again, and Aurora's bootless legs wrapped around her waist again while her arms clasped behind Mulan's head. They kissed as she walked knowing without sight how to get to their bedroom.
She let Aurora stand next to their bed knowing it wouldn't be easy to get the costume off if she was lying down. Aurora turned as Mulan began to pull the zipper down exposing pale skin. Aurora turned back to face Mulan, and she helped her slide her arms and legs out of the tight leather exposing black lace panties without a bra. Mulan kicked off her boots as she appreciated the view.
Aurora's hands stopped her from unzipping her own jeans to do it for her. They were discarded leaving Mulan in boy shorts and the bra she had apparently been the only one to decide to wear. Mulan was swift in her movements to pick Aurora up again before kissing her. For Aurora, being picked up by Mulan was the most natural thing in the entire world.
She laid her down softly never breaking their kiss. Aurora kept her legs wrapped tight around the warrior's waist as tongues slid together in the only dance that Mulan was actually familiar with. She kissed her telling her she loved her, telling her how much she wanted her, and Aurora reciprocated with every stroke of her own tongue against Mulan's.
Mulan leaned back to pull Aurora's underwear off and smiled down at her.
"I love you." She said before kissing her softly.
"I love you too." Came a breathless reply as Mulan's lips kissed a trail to Aurora's pulse point before she quickly flicked over it with her tongue.
Mulan's tongue trailed between Aurora's breasts before circling her breast slowly with her tongue teasing the small moans out of Aurora's mouth. She continued her circles making them smaller as she went to reach a hard nipple. She circled it with her tongue before biting down slightly knowing Aurora would throw her head back in pleasure. She continued to suck and bite the sensitive bud before moving to the other. Aurora's panting let her know that she was getting impatient so she kissed her just as her hand snaked between their bodies.
Two fingers slid inside wet heat, and Aurora's tongue stopped moving against hers for a second. They reached a rhythm as they continued. Mulan's fingers would slide out of Aurora sometimes leaving her center completely before sliding back in. Aurora's caresses on her tongue would stop every time Mulan removed her fingers and pick back up as she entered her. Mulan swallowed every moan as she curled her fingers inside. Aurora gasped as she began corkscrewing her fingers inside of her never pulling them all the way out. Her pace picked up, and the kiss was forgotten as Aurora held Mulan's face as she panted moving closer and closer to the edge.
She gripped Mulan's arm with tight nails as she came. Her whole body shook slightly before she was doing nothing but gasping in air. Mulan placed quick kisses all over Aurora's face as she continued to breathe heavily.
Mulan rolled onto her back and pulled Aurora on top of her. Aurora giggled like she always did, and Mulan couldn't help the smile that spread across her face.
"Now." She said placing a kiss to Mulan's lips. "My turn."
Aurora took Mulan's boy shorts off when Mulan lifted her hips. Aurora straddled her again and slowly began to rock her hips against Mulan. With each fall of Aurora's hips, her center brushed lightly against Mulan's own. Aurora reached around to unhook Mulan's bra before she leaned forward to crash their lips together. Mulan's hands tugged at Aurora's hips trying to get the woman to move again, but Aurora was still.
She pulled back from the kiss to place quick little kisses all over Mulan's chest and stomach. She kissed her sternum, above each breast, below each breast, above her bellybutton, and at the tip of each of her hip bones before she moved lower. A quick kiss at the apex of her thighs was followed by a swift lick through her wetness. Mulan gasped as Aurora continued long strokes through her wetness.
"Shit." Mulan panted. She only cursed when the two were naked and alone together.
Aurora's tongue swirled around her clit quickly before she sucked it roughly into her mouth. She flicked over it quickly before releasing it to run her tongue back down to Mulan's opening. She continued this path repeating it until Mulan was begging for Aurora to stay in the spot that she needed her.
With one more trip around her established path, Aurora stopped to place quick strokes against Mulan's clit. She picked up her pace and used her free hand to hold Mulan's hips down. Mulan's movements became more erratic as she got closer to the edge. A quick suck on her most sensitive spot sent her tumbling over the edge as Aurora continued to quickly flick her tongue.
Mulan felt her whole body continue to tingle as her hips bucked with each flick of Aurora's tongue on her now over-sensitive clit. Aurora sat up and wiped her mouth before crawling back up to wrap her arms around Mulan.
Aurora kissed Mulan's cheek before laying it down in the crook of Mulan's neck. "Happy Halloween baby." Aurora said.
"You too sweetie." Mulan responded. She stayed awake until the woman in her arm's breathing had evened out. When she knew she was asleep, she pulled the covers over them. She placed a quick kiss to Aurora's forehead.
"I love you." Mulan whispered to the sleeping princess. "I always will." She felt a soft sigh escape Aurora's lips before Mulan let her own eyes slip shut.
Even with this fight she could honestly say that she enjoyed her first Halloween in Storybrooke. Mulan knew that everything in Strorybrooke would be alright as long as Aurora was on her side.
