Boo

A long sigh escapes the lips of a certain brunette as she lets her body sink into the fluffy cushions of the couch she's sat on, closing her eyes for a brief moment while her hands hold a steaming mug in between them tightly.

A happy sigh then escapes her lips as she brings the mug to her nose and smells the delicious aroma of chocolate, taking a sip of the hot liquid to let it warm her insides in the middle of a cold night while enjoying the quietness filling the usually bustling common room.

In any other night, one could usually find a group of nine girls gathered all together watching a movie while eating popcorns or talking lively about classes, plays or whatever else. But today, it's one of those rare nights in which almost all the girls are outside and there's nothing but the weak rustling of the trees outside filling the dorms' air.

Enjoying such a rare night, Maya takes another sip of her delicious hot chocolate, before placing her mug on the small tea table in front of her to take the book resting on it instead.

A contented smile spreads across her lips as her fingers brush the hard cover, tracing delicately the illustration on it, before she opens the book ready to continue the fascinating adventure she has been reading, the weak sound of the wind swaying the trees outside putting the perfect melody to her reading.

A certain ash-blonde girl can't help but grin upon seeing the brunette relaxing while reading, lowering her guard thinking all of them went out to go in search of sweets with their flawless costumes while asking the infamous question of "trick or treat". But what Maya doesn't know, it's that Claudine decided to stay to play a little trick on her own to the top star knowing how skittish Maya is of ghosts.

Claudine can only grin wider at this, letting the brunette relax for a bit longer, before she switches the lights off, hearing a weak but cute squeak escaping Maya's lips.

- Who is there?

Maya asks, and even though she tries to sound collected, Claudine can hear the nervousness laced in her voice almost letting out a quiet giggle if she wouldn't have been pressing one of her hands over her mouth to quieten it.

She then hears a light rustling going around, knowing full well the brunette is searching for the little light they all decided to keep around the common room for when they didn't want to bother the others turning the main lights on, before a grumble fills the air.

- Damn it…

Claudine hears Maya whimpering defeated after have probably checked how the little light doesn't power on after Claudine have disconnected it from the power outlet.

Contented that her plan is going as she expected and without Maya being able to reach out for any light nor her own phone having left it in her bedroom, the ash-blonde takes another step into her plan, making different noises as she makes her way in between the deafening darkness towards the couch in which Maya is sat on rather cowardly, trusting in her senses to not mess this up.

- W-who is there?

Maya repeats again, her voice coming out this time a bit more scared than the previous one while she hugs herself in clear distress, something that breaks the ash-blonde's heart, yet that it doesn't make her stop but keep moving towards the brunette.

- Who-

- Boo!

- KYAAA!

Maya yells piercingly at the same time Claudine pulls her arms around the brunette to hug her from behind, only to quickly drop them seconds after to bring her hands up in an attempt to cover her ears while Maya turns to look at her wide-eyed and with a hand over her thumping heart as if she was about to pass out at any second. Or rather to stare at the ghostly white sheet covering the ash-blonde agape while trying to calm down her erratic heart.

Claudine barely has the time to reveal herself to the other girl in an attempt to calm her down, when a serious Maya rises from the couch and walks to her to then rise the ghostly sheet covering her and step under it invading Claudine's personal space.

- Boo.

Maya says cutely, yet managing to surprise Claudine who can only giggle at her girlfriend's playfulness glad that Maya isn't shivering like a leaf out of fear as she was anymore, but instead, seeing her now looking at her with an amused smile on her lips as they share a giggle.

The brunette can't help but grin as she locks eyes with her sneaky girlfriend, before she captures the ash-blonde's lips in a kiss that both surprises her and makes her be the one squeaking and blushing hard despite the darkness.

- That's not fair!

Claudine complains childishly, hitting Maya's chest while the top star only giggles, circling the ash-blonde's waist with her arms to pull her closer.

- Says the beauty who sneaked on me to scare me.

Maya comments in between giggles while Claudine pouts and blushes equally.

And even though the brunette didn't seem to be as scared as Claudine intended to, the ash-blonde is more than happy it isn't like that, not bearing the thought of have caused Maya such a distress.
