TWO requests from Ryuujin96 in a row!? How often does that happen? Well, it doesn't matter to me from whom I get my requests so long as it keeps this fic alive. Besides, I'm grateful to have any fans of my work. That aside, enjoy! Also, this week's horror music recommendation is "Devil's Reception" by Peter Griffin (NO, not that Peter Griffin).

The cloak of night had been well and truly draped over Japan, and being that it was the day of All Hallows' Eve, Deku and Todoroki were taking part in the ages-old custom of trick-or-treating. Deku was dressed up like the Beast from Beauty and the Beast, and Todoroki was dressed up like Belle.

"You know, even with that monster makeup on, you're still very handsome!" said Todoroki.

Deku smiled. "I mean, wasn't that the point of the movie, to show that there is beauty in everything?"

"Deku, what are you saying?"

Deku gave a mischievous smirk. "What? I'm not saying that my dear Shoko looks drop-dead gorgeous in that costume!"

Todoroki gasped. "Wait…people will die because I look gorgeous!?"

Deku laughed. "No, that's an expression! It means you look so extremely gorgeous!"

Todoroki giggled. "Come here, you little beast!"

Todoroki wrapped her arms around Deku and kissed him. In that moment, he wanted nothing more than to be with her in a grand ballroom slowly dancing with her to "Beauty and the Beast (Tale As Old As Time)". However, his little fantasy was interrupted by a flash of light as well as a girlish giggling. The two lovebirds looked over to see a short, buxom young lady with her hair in a pixie cut. Not only was she wearing a strapless thigh-high dress, but she was bathed in an ethereal bluish-purple glow.

"Who are you?" asked Deku.

"Greetings, earthly travellers. I am Mademoiselle Veillée de la Toussaint, the goddess of All Hallows' Eve, more commonly known to you as Halloween."

"But why are you visiting us?" asked Todoroki.

"I visit all who honor me on this day and the next. I am especially interested in those who honor me as loving couples."

Deku smiled. "Awww, that's sweet of you! So, how did you happen upon us?"

Mademoiselle Toussaint chuckled. "I have a 'sixth sense' that draws me to people who are romantically involved with one another. It makes me very happy to see such young folks as yourselves professing your love for one another. Now come, join hands with me and receive my blessing."

Deku looked at Todoroki, smiled and nodded. Seeing that her boyfriend put his trust in Toussaint, she too smiled, and they joined hands with each other before joining their remaining hands with Toussaint. Shortly after doing so, they were enveloped by a blinding bluish-purple glow, and throughout their bodies, they could feel a tingling sensation similar to orgasm, but not as earth-shakingly intense. Still, Todoroki gasped when she felt this tingling. It was only when Deku slightly increased his grip pressure on her hand that she kept holding on. As a side effect of the tingling, the romantic couple also felt the heat and redness in their faces. As powerful as the whole experience was, it didn't last forever, and when the blinding glow dissipated, Toussaint let go of both of them.

"This blessing will ensure you good health and good fortune, and it will remain throughout your whole lives so long as you continue to love one another," said Toussaint. "Now, I must depart; there are others still waiting to receive my blessings as well."

Deku smiled and waved at Toussaint. "Bye! Thanks for the blessing!"

Todoroki waved as well. "Yeah, it was nice meeting you!"

"You're welcome!" Toussaint waived at both of them. "Have a happy holiday tonight and the next day!"

With another blinding flash, Toussaint disappeared into nothingness. Deku and Todoroki then looked at each other.

"Well, that was really lucky of us!" said Deku.

Todoroki nodded. "It was, but…will we really be able to maintain the blessing for that long?"

Deku smiled. "Why not? I mean, we love each other very much, and I could never, ever see myself leaving you for another girl!"

Todoroki smiled. "Fair enough. I mean, you are the kindest, loveliest boy I've ever met, and I do owe much to you."

"As I do to you!"

Deku clasped Todoroki's hands together with his own, and he stared lovingly into her eyes for a bit before kissing her again. In his opinion, she was sweeter than all the candy that had ever been confected.

Criticism is gold. Negativity and nitpicking are pyrite.
