Be my Halloween Pumpkin

A/N: This is dedicated to Kohei Takano! Hope you enjoy the Nitori and Rin fluff!

Pairing: Rin X Nitori

Rating: T ( No smut this time ;) )

Reason? I never have an excuse for the shenanigans that I produce :)

Enjoy!


Rin had never seen anything like it before in his entire life. Samezuka had been transformed into the school of terror and the cherry-haired boy couldn't help but smirk at all the decorations. It had been leading up to this night and he couldn't help but feel a little bit high on ecstasy. Tonight would be a blast and Rin was ready to enjoy a night filled with terror and screams.

Throughout the school different activities could be attended. For instance, you could watch a horror movie in the gym, go through the Hellish maze, eat typical Halloween treats, bob for apples,…

The cherry haired boy was lying on his bed, waiting for the exact moment when the event would be opened. He still had half an hour left and then it was time to have fun. Being in a younger year had its advantages since the older students were obliged to run the activities, Rin was happy just being a visitor.

"Oi, Nitori," Rin said with a smirk. He knew that the younger boy wasn't fond of anything that was Halloween-related. Nitori was more of a Valentine's day type and it made Rin smirk knowing that the poor boy would probably pee his pants later on.

"Yes Matsuoka-senpai?" Nitori said with a soft voice, he tried to sound as relaxed as possible but he was far from that. He hated this night so much and the fact that the school seemed hell-bend on making this such a festival made the boy squirm in his bed. He didn't want to be scared and he certainly didn't want to embarrass himself in front of his Senpai. In fact, more than before, Nitori tried to get Rin's attention but he didn't make that much progress. Rin would still treat him as a very close friend but nothing more. Nitori had given up hope several times already, only to start trying when Rin did something silly and cute. One day, Nitori had told himself to be strong and look for someone else that deserved his love and attention but when Rin came into the room with a splinter in his finger, Nitori was instantly dragged into Rin's vicious claws again. He had taken out the splinter with such care and was even surprised that he received a hug as a thank you. It was such a sweet gesture that Nitori couldn't help but feel his heart flutter happily.

"I can't wait till we go out, it'll be so much fun," Rin plucked at his T-shirt while containing his glee, he was really looking forward to going out. Normally Rin wasn't interested in these kinds of things but for some strange reason he couldn't fathom, he had always liked Halloween. Perhaps it was because he used to celebrate it with his friends from Iwatobi? Rin winced at the memories because now they left a sour taste in his mouth. He still wasn't on good terms with those boys and he huffed in annoyance. He wasn't going to let some fleeting memories sour his good mood.

With one swift movement, Rin swung his legs over the edge of his bed, sitting up. The cold floor tickled his feet and he got up and shivered with anticipation. He ducked into the bathroom to check his appearance one last time. He didn't bother to dress up because that was the one part that Rin disliked about Halloween. Luckily, it wasn't required if you were a 'visitor' so he was relieved that he didn't have to wear some kind of silly costume. Rin ruffled his hand through his mussed- up hair and he looked quite hot and sexy if he did say so himself. With one last glance, he left the bathroom to go get Nitori. When he approached the bed he looked over at the boy with the silver hair. He was staring out into the distance and Rin thought he looked kind of possessed. The cherry-haired boy waved his hand in front of Nitori's face and the latter didn't even move an inch. Rin chuckled a bit, the boy was probably imagining all kinds of gruesome events and Rin couldn't help but smile. He rolled his eyes while a playful smirk was gracing his gorgeous face. He snapped his fingers loudly and Nitori snapped out of his 'day-nightmare'. He had indeed been envisioning murder attempts and the likes and the boy was a shivering mess.

"You ready to go," Rin asked while ruffling his hand through the younger boy's hair.

"Do we have to? Perhaps I'll stay here, I'm not feeling so well," Nitori said while turning his head to the side. He could feel a blush creep up his cheeks since Rin was rather close. A bit too close for comfort, or perhaps not close enough…

"What do you mean, don't be a chicken shit and get off your lazy ass."

Nitori sighed deeply, of course Rin wouldn't believe him when he said he wasn't feeling well. He had tried that excuse several times before and he only gotten away with it once. It was like Rin had a sixth sense when it came to those things. He could feel a lot of things yet he didn't feel the love that Nitori would emit with everything that he did for the cherry-haired boy.


The two boys walked outside their dorm room and headed towards the entrance hall. They would receive a small drink and a map with all the activities they could take part in. The walk towards the entrance hall was silent but Rin didn't mind. He was already imagining the most tough guys screaming like little girls. It made a ghost of a smile appear on his face and he was grateful because the night would belong to him.

Nitori glanced around the entrance hall and he would sink into the ground if it were possible. Everything looked so creepy and disgusting to the boy. The decorations were beautiful except for the fact that Nitori didn't like Halloween decorations. He hated the spider webs, slimy goo against the walls, ghosts, witches and those damn creepy carved pumpkins made him want to scream and kick someone!

Nitori jumped up a little when Rin grabbed his hand and he let himself be guided by the cherry-haired boy. The silver haired male sighed deeply, he had arrived in the hall for exactly one minute and Rin had already managed to make him jump up. Would it be a bad thing to keep count?

"Want a drink?" Rin asked sweetly as they got in line to receive a drink.

Nitori just nodded and looked around some more. He did think that some students were dressed up rather nicely, he vaguely wondered what it would look like when Rin dressed up. He could only imagine Rin dressing up as a killer shark. Nitori smiled at the thought and he felt his mood lighten up considerably. He realised that the cherry-haired boy would be beside him the entire night so what was the worst thing that could happen?

Rin handed Nitori his drink and the cherry-haired male removed the candy from the edge of his glass. He smirked at the fake teeth candy and he nibbled on the sweetness. He and Gou had many of these types of sweets when they were younger. The downside is, they stick to your own teeth so badly.

Nitori giggled as he looked at all the weird faces Rin was making. The candy clearly stuck to his teeth and the cherry-haired boy was trying to get it from his teeth with his tongue. The silver-haired boy shook his head slightly and smirked. He took a sip of the so- called 'bloody' juice and his attention was drawn to the map that Rin was holding. He tugged it away from the red-haired boy and looked over all the activities. Nothing seemed to be that interesting and Nitori decided that he would let Rin choose what they would do. He knew that he would try to go for the less scary things and he might come off as weak to Rin and that was something that Nitori wanted to avoid at all costs.

Rin downed his drink like it was nothing and then gestured Nitori to get a move on. The younger boy handed Rin the map and the latter took the lead. He knew exactly what he wanted to do tonight.

"Where are we going," Nitori asked with a tentative voice.

"Let's do the maze first, I heard it was supposed to be really good," Rin said with wide grin.

Nitori sighed deeply and could already see all kinds of embarrassing moments heading his way. He would probably get lost so badly that he would end up crying and calling out to his mommy. Nitori had always hated mazes and he knew that would never change.


The two boys arrived and only had to wait for about five minutes before they could enter. A really cute girl was waiting for them at the entrance.

"Good evening you two," she said with a smile to die for. Nitori couldn't help but think that it would be okay to die tonight if she was there to greet him with that smile before he departed towards Hell.

"Good evening," Nitori would always be the polite one while Rin would just smirk and nod curtly.

"Before you enter the maze, I'll have to tie you two up," the girl spoke as if being tied up was normal and nothing to worry about.

"What," Rin asked with furrowed brows. No one said that would be a part of the deal.

"It's the rule, besides, there's nothing wrong with two cuties being tied up," the girl winked at the two boys and before they knew it, they were handcuffed to each other.

They stared at the cuffs in disbelief and sighed simultaneously. Nitori felt some kind of strange relief wash through his body because that meant that he would not be alone. Rin would be next to him the entire time and Nitori felt his stomach release millions of butterflies. Perhaps the maze would be the activity that would show Rin how much he meant to Nitori.

Rin tugged his hand and Nitori almost fell forwards. The cherry-haired male shook his head in annoyance and they entered the maze. It was pitch-black and Nitori squinted his eyes, in hopes of seeing something. He spotted a few lit decorations and they started walking. The silence was deafening to Nitori and the boy was desperately trying to find some sound he could concentrate on. He had never liked silence and especially not this kind of silence. What if some kind of deranged person would jump up in front of them. Would Rin kick that person in the balls just to protect him?

Nitori yelled loudly when he heard a rumbling sound next to him and he grasped Rin's hand tightly. Nitori was too afraid to take another step and he had his eyes clenched shut waiting for some kind of person to come and kill him.

"Nitori, that was my stomach, I haven't eaten in hours," Rin said sounding very annoyed.

Nitori sighed in relief and he could mentally kick himself for being such a scaredy cat. They continued their walk, Nitori walking slightly behind Rin, their cuffed hands touching from time to time. The touch would always send a delicious tingle throughout Nitori's body and he was glad for the darkness because he knew he was blushing furiously.

"Uhmpf," Nitori said as he walked straight into Rin. He hadn't noticed that the cherry-haired male had stopped moving. The silver-haired boy waited for Rin to start walking again but when the latter didn't move, Nitori couldn't help but feel a shiver run up his spine.

"What is it Matsuoka- senpai?" Nitori asked softly, afraid to break the silence that he hated so much.

"I can't go on because there's a wall in front of us," Rin said deadpan and it made Nitori gasp in terror. He knew what that meant, they would have to backtrack and then find an impossible turn to only get lost completely. He could already imagine being stuck in the darkness for hours. Would they starve to death? Rin was already hungry so Nitori giggled nervously at the thought.

"Perhaps you should lead the way huh," Rin said softly while nudging Nitori in the side.

"What, why me?" Nitori whined loudly as he tried to sound confident and in control.

"Just move Nitori," Rin huffed in annoyance and he let himself be guided by the silver-haired boy.

They had been bumping into walls and each other for what seemed like ages when suddenly a creepy tune started to surround them. No matter how much Nitori had hated the silence, the stupid music was even worse. It was the type of music that would always play in those creepy films when someone was about to be slashed to death. Nitori shuffled forward and when a ghost appeared in front of him, he lost it. He kicked the ghost violently in a daze and it was only afterwards that he realised what he had done. The ghost was squirming on the floor and Nitori could hear Rin gasp beside him.

"What the fuck Nitori, you're not supposed to kick people," Rin said while whacking Nitori in the head lightly.

"He isn't supposed to pop out of nowhere to scare the shit out of me either!" Nitori huffed back while crouching next to the poor ghost.

"I'm sorry, are you okay?" Nitori asked softly waiting for the person behind the costume to answer.

"Fuck, my balls!" the person exclaimed and Nitori felt his cheeks flush. Not in a million years did he imagine that he would ever kick someone in the private parts.

"The fuck Nitori, you're not supposed to kick a guy in the balls, that's not cool," Rin exclaimed loudly and he sounded rather angry.

"I didn't meant to," Nitori said with a small voice.

"It's okay, by the way, can you release my hand now, before you crush it?" Rin said with a soft voice and Nitori gasped. He had indeed been clutching Rin's hand like a lifeline. In fact, it was having Rin next to him that made him courageous enough to fight off their 'attacker.'

It didn't take the boys too much longer to finally find the damn exit and they both squinted their eyes when they were met with bright lights. It took them awhile to get used to the lights surrounding them again. Rin looked down at Nitori and he couldn't help but feel proud. Even if Nitori's attack was a low blow, he did protect Rin and that made the cherry-haired male feel special and cherished. He had never thought anyone would want to protect him, it was an alien feeling to him yet it was something that he could get used to. Nitori seemed to be fairly relaxed and Rin decided that sitting down for a while might be a good idea.


He dragged Nitori towards the gym and they soon found the perfect spot to watch the movie. They were just in time to see the revamped version of the chainsaw massacre and Rin was brimming with anticipation. He loved blood and gore from time to time and he was excited to see the countless chopped of limbs and blood splatters all over the screen. He excused himself for a quick moment to get something to drink and eat. He decided to share a popcorn bucket with Nitori to thank him for earlier in the maze. He bought Nitori's favourite drink too just because he was feeling generous and happy. When he sat back next to the silver-haired boy, he tilted his head slightly at the boy. He seemed to be staring off into the distance again. Rin nudged the boy and smiled at him, trying to reassure the younger boy. This time, Rin would protect him if it was needed.

The gym was soon plunged into darkness and the movie started playing. Rin glanced at Nitori more than once to check whether the boy was still fine. He knew that nothing could really happen but Rin just wanted to make sure. He was glad to have Nitori next to him, it just felt… right.

He playfully fed Nitori a piece of popcorn because he knew that someone's leg was about to be chopped off. He could faintly see a blush creep up Nitori's cheeks and Rin had to admit that his chest was also burning with… passion? Love? Lust? Who knew…

Rin continued to feed Nitori whenever a very brutal scene would come up on the screen. The cherry-haired boy knew exactly when something gruesome would happen so it was easy to 'protect' Nitori from it. Rin cast his gaze towards the scene and he was just in time to see the bloody chainsaw appear in close-up. His gaze darkened and he smirked widely. He could feel his body shiver with anticipation to see which one would be the next victim.

Nitori whimpered next to Rin. He tried to look at anything but the screen but it was so hard! It was common sense that when you tried to ignore something it would always end up drawing your attention. Without realising it, he grabbed Rin's hand and clutched it firmly. He held it like it was the last thing that he would ever got to hold in his life. Nitori stared at their hands as he felt Rin's thumb rub soothing circles on the back of his hand. The sweet gesture made Nitori's heart flutter and when he dared to gaze at the cherry-haired male he was greeted with one of Rin's sweet smiles. They were a very rare occurrence and when they did show, it was something that Nitori treasured deeply. Knowing that he was the one that earned that smile was simply priceless.

Carefully and with a truckload of hesitance, Nitori placed his head on Rin's shoulder. Normally couples would sit like this in the movie theatre while watching a romantic movie. Nitori blushed as he realised that they were neither a couple nor were they watching anything close to a romantic movie. However to him, it felt really good to be able to be this close to his Senpai. He sighed happily when Rin made no move to push the boy away. In fact, he even felt Rin rest his head against his own. No amount of severed limbs would bring down Nitori of his rush of ecstasy now…


When the two boys entered the games room, Nitori was relieved. He knew that nothing scary could happen right now. He had dragged Rin towards the big tub in the middle of the room. It was filled with water and there were apples floating around in the tub. Nitori loved bobbing for apples even though it always took him quite some time to finally catch one. He smiled broadly at Rin and he couldn't wait to see his Senpai in action. He imagined Rin to be good at anything that he did. There was probably not a thing in the world that Rin couldn't do. To Nitori, Rin was absolutely perfect.

Rin eyed the water and the apples carefully. Truth be told, he had never bobbed for apples before. He didn't know how to even begin. He glanced at Nitori and was met with a very broad and cute smile. He knew that Nitori expected him to be good at anything but that was far from realistic. There were things in life that Rin would always fail at and he wasn't sure whether bobbing for apples could be added to that list. With a deep sigh, he shuffled towards the tub. He was afraid to tell Nitori that he had no clue how to do this because that would make him seem weak. Rin knew that the image Nitori had of him wasn't always realistic but it did boost his ego enormously. He was secretly always brimming with ecstasy when Nitori congratulated him whenever he did something good. He would never show Nitori how much he enjoyed those compliments.

"Something wrong Matsuoka-Senpai?" Nitori asked softly while shooting Rin another dazzling smile.

"No," Rin retorted quickly to disguise his hesitance. How hard could bobbing for apples really be? Just stick your head under water and try to grab one of those shiny red apples.

Rin looked at the water and took a deep breath. He stuck his head in the water and it was surprisingly cold and he shivered involuntarily. He tried his best to grab an apple but those damn things kept getting away. Rin was grateful that he was a swimmer because he did manage to keep his head under water for quite some time. However, not long enough to grab an apple apparently. Rin raised his head and took a deep breath of air. He sulked because he didn't manage to get an apple on his first try. He wondered whether Nitori would be disappointed. To hide his embarrassment, he stuck his head in the water again quickly, hoping that Nitori hadn't seen his blushing cheeks. On the second attempt, Rin did manage to grab hold of an apple and he showed it to Nitori like a lion that he just managed to grab the biggest prey in the savannah. He was proud of himself and he tried to smile as best as possible with the apple still stuck between his sharp teeth. Nitori's eyes twinkled with pride and before either of them realised what happened, Nitori shuffled closer and took a bite of the apple that was still sitting firmly between Rin's teeth.

The cherry-haired boy looked at Nitori with widened yet amused eyes. He thought Nitori looked incredibly cute when he executed that bold move. Rin grabbed hold of the apple with his hand and took a bite as well. He knew that he had a gleeful twinkle in his eyes but he didn't care. Tonight he had felt all kinds of things and he accepted this with grace. He didn't think it was weird to be attracted to Nitori. It all felt so right.

Nitori knew he had a really red hue on his cheeks because they felt like they were on fire. He couldn't believe that he had taken a bite of the apple that Rin had caught. The apple was really juicy and tasty and the fact that it belonged to Rin only made it more special. Other people would think Nitori was being silly but he knew full well what he was feeling. A feeling that he would never want to let go because he knew that he loved Rin. He had known it all along and it would always be that way.

Nitori jumped up as he felt Rin's thumb wipe some juice from his lips. Rin looked so sexy and Nitori felt his entire body blaze, he didn't expect the night to be this good. Sure he had been scared but Rin was always there to protect him.

"Shall we do one more thing? It's getting kind of late," Rin glanced at his watch and Nitori nodded in agreement. Even though he didn't want the night to end, Nitori was getting sleepy and he looked forward to the snugness of his warm bed.

"Shall we go to the picture booth?" Nitori asked tentatively. He had always thought the walls in their room could use a bit of decoration but Rin had always protested since 'memories are nice but that's all they are.'

To Nitori's surprise, Rin agreed and they headed off to one of the classrooms that was transformed into a picture room.


When they entered the room Nitori gasped in surprise. The room had little 'corners' with different themes. You could just sit somewhere and then a photographer would take your picture. You could sit between ghosts, witches, huge wolves,…

"Are the two of you looking for a nice memory," a soft voice startled the both of them and they looked at a girl dressed up as a cat. Rin thought the ears were so cute and he had to refrain himself from touching them.

"Yes," Nitori smiled a sweet smile and the girl eyed them with furrowed brows.

"Something's missing though," she murmured and the two boys shrugged and waited for the girl to snap out of her thoughts.

"I know!" She exclaimed loudly and she grabbed the boys by the hand to drag them out of the room…


Rin crinkled his nose and he tried to supress the smile that formed on his sexy face. The brush tickled on his face and he tried his best to sit still. He couldn't believe that he had let the girl talk him into getting dressed up for the picture. He tried to protest but the twinkle in Nitori's eyes was hard to ignore. With a deep sigh he had agreed and now he was being transformed by the girl. When he was little he would always watch Gou in awe when she got her face painted.

"Sit still," the girl whispered with a soft voice and Rin sighed deeply before closing his eyes and focussing on remaining as still as possible. It was hard though because Rin normally didn't let himself be bossed around but for Nitori, he would do anything right now.

When Rin looked in the mirror he was surprised. He was transformed into a wolf and he smirked as he felt the softness of the ears that were sitting snuggly in his hair. He wasn't transformed into a ferocious wolf, no he actually looked quite cute. He crinkled his nose and smirked at his reflection. Getting dressed up wasn't that bad when it was done properly. He wondered what Nitori looked like and he left the room to look for his friend.

Nitori was fondling his cape as he was looking at the door. He was dressed up as a vampire with a cute hat that sported a carved pumpkin in satin. He loved the fake fangs he had received and he couldn't stop smiling to show them off. He hoped that Rin wasn't too upset with the whole ordeal because he knew that Rin didn't like these kinds of things. He anxiously sat on a huge yet fake carved pumpkin, waiting for Rin to arrive.

Rin entered the room and immediately noticed Nitori. When Nitori smiled at him he couldn't help but smirk as he saw the fake fangs. They fit the silver-haired boy so well and Rin couldn't wait to inspect the boy up close.

"You're so cute," Nitori beamed as he brushed his fingers over the furry ears on Rin's head.

"Shut up," he scolded Nitori softly while nudging the boy in the side. The boy yelped and smiled a broad smile.

When Nitori looked up and his eyes met Rin's, the cherry-haired male felt the air leave his lungs. Those eyes sparkled so brightly and Rin had never seen such a beautiful thing before. He knew Nitori was cute but he had never paid that much attention to the boy. It was the first time that Rin took the time to really look at Nitori. It would seem silly because Nitori's face was painted with make-up but it didn't matter to Rin. He was finally able to see how sexy Nitori really was. He was…breath-taking.

Rin didn't really know what to say. He knew that there were other people in the room but he didn't seem to register them at all. He could only gaze at the younger boy like his life depended on it. In one way, it really did because he knew that his heart had been stolen a few seconds ago. Rin decided that it was now or never and he glanced at Nitori lovingly.

"Will you be my Halloween pumpkin?"

Rin barely registered the gasp coming from the younger boy because he had pressed his soft lips against Nitori's. He vaguely knew that the girl had snapped a picture and Rin was secretly glad because he would treasure that picture forever, just like he would treasure Nitori for as long as the boy would let him.

"I will."
