Yes, I held onto the stars. Yes, i let them B U R N me. because despite the PAIN, the l o n g i n g, and the loneliness they were the ONLY things in thisgoddamn u n i v e r s e that kept me W A R M you were a spark of hope once, but even hope loses it's shine

“The oils from ivy plants, dear. Aptly named and highly irritable if touched, it’s not the plant that causes the rash. He was handling food, he’s not now — one of these. Unless you would like a rash. My leaves are Russian roulette for the wandering hands, seemed a little more fun than this festival. I do, but that’s still about the nicest thing you’ve ever said to me..”

“And you chose to wear it as a costume?.. That sounds.. certifiably insane. No.. No, I really really do not want a rash. It seems like kind of a stretch, I mean, do that many people really try to touch you? Isn’t there another way to deal with that other than... poisoning them like that? It just seems a little excessive. I think I’ve been nicer than that before...”

“That’s what I’m finding out” he went to just one or two of them, but he was sure she was right. “No, no, don’t steal mine, come on”

“Why else would everyone stick around here if not for the food? Smart choice, you can get yourself another.”

“Round the corner.”

“How.. specific. You alright, Clyde?”

“I don’t know – how have you been? What is up? You know normal conversation starters.”

“That’s a trick question, I already know you’re clearly having a terrible day because.. a, you’re here and b, you actually dressed up. If that doesn’t scream that you’re obviously feeling sick or something, I’m not sure what does..--- How are you?”

[wnq-writers]

Missing you comes in doses. Some days, I can survive without you. I don’t need you to make me happy, because I feel so good without you here. And other days, it hits me hard. And I wish you were here to give me the high I so badly need.

“Oh no, you go get your own candy apple. I waited in line for a damn hour and I swear if another person tries to take mine this Halloween shit is going to get real bloody, real quick.”

“Take yours? Why would anyone want to take yours instead of getting their own?”

[cthompsxn]

scarletbrowne:

“Just on the corner back the way I came. I never thought I’d see a cotton candy donut but I guess Halloween always brings out the best treats.”

“Cotton... Candy.. donut. Okay, you’re going ot have to show me where exactly, we’ll buy out the whole stand.”

starryeyedaidan:

“Honestly? I’ll let my teeth all fall out if it means I can keep eating this stuff. You should try the caramel apples, they kicked it up a notch with the sweets this time around”

“You won’t be able to eat them if all your teeth fall out. Think ahead. Save your teeth and eat them until you’re old. Oh I haven’t had a caramel apple in years. They do always seem to make them bigger and better every year.”

knightxlight:

“Well they’re already shot so I wish it luck,” Felix said, taking a bite out of the candy apple, “over there, you gotta bob for it though.”

“Your poor teeth.” Her nose crinkled and she shook her head, “That sounds like way too much effort, maybe I’ll convince Rhys to bob for one for me.”

catherine--black:

“Better than something else of mine…  I bribed it out of that lovely young man at the sweets booth with the promise of allowing him to feel up my top and now he’s got an awful rash and probably regretting some choices. Would you like one?”

“That’s...-- what? How did this turn into a rash, should you be doing that? He’d handling food. -- Do I want a rash or one of those..  You know you’re a little terrifying sometimes, don’t you?”

“You think? That clearly means you’d be bored within moments,” he could easily match teasing words with his own. He hardly paid mind to how hers might not live up to his own, for he’d prefer hers over others any day. He hardly had friends these days, mainly acquaintances or those he spent many Friday nights drinking with, but no one even came close to Caitlyn. She’d been his friend since playground days, and that meant more to Rhys than anyone truly knew. Her elbow pushing gently into his side garnered a low chuckle, his hand rubbing at the spot as if it truly hurt. “My sense of direction? Please, I wasn’t the one that got us lost last time.” He countered easily, shaking his head while his hand dropped from his side. “Come on, I know you’d miss me. I’m the life of the party.” He held a serious look upon his features before he was laughing, slinging an arm across her shoulders. “What game do you want to play first?”

“No it does not. Stop being an ass, I know it’s really hard, but just try it maybe.” It was easy, they’d known each other so long that looking past whatever opinions people they knew had of him was almost second nature. Yes, she saw and heard about how he acted most of the time, but she never saw him like that. “Yeah, your sense of direction, of lack of. Oh no. no no, don’t you go blaming me for getting lost last year.  You know that wasn’t even my fault.” Eyes rolled to the back of her head and she sighed, “You’re right, you’re so right, this place wouldn’t be the same without you, Rhys.” Which was true, she wouldnt lie but she was in too good of a mood for things to turn too serious just yet. She stiffened sightly as he threw an arm across her shoulder, a quick reminder that she had to stop breathing; his scent and the temptation of blood was already at a high. “You’re such a brag and I’ll never hear the end of this, but I kind of think you’d be really terrible at bobbing for apples”

diazandnights:

“I can take you to the booth, it tastes delicious, all the food that I’ve eaten so far is”

“You know, there’s never bad food, at any of the things this town throws. Lead the way before I steal yours.”

[cthompsxn]

jeremiahxainsworth:

“Is that really what you want to ask?”

“What else would I want to ask? Come on, Jer. Where’d you get it?”

[cthompsxn]

rhysabernathy:

“That wouldn’t be nearly as fun, though.” He retorted with that same old smirk curving his lips. Rhys had a habit of voicing opinions and thoughts others would consider horrible or rude, but he had never cared. It was almost like second nature to him now. He chuckled upon hearing her words, rolling his shoulders as he stepped closer. “Come on, Mario; let’s go play one of these ridiculous games. Or maybe get lost in the maze.” He winked at the end of his words, before he was turning to see what they could get themselves into.

“I don’t know, I’d still be having fun I think.” Her teasing tone wasn’t anything close to his, she couldn’t quite pull it off, Caitlyn shifting from one foot to another as if to prove that. She’d never really minded, part of her even envied his ability to speak freely, but there had never been a time where she judged him for it; that wasn’t what friends did, and they’d always been friends, hadn’t they? Rolling her eyes, she jut her elbow out into his side gently, “Oh no.. No we’re playing the games. I’m not going anywhere near the maze with you, I remember what your sense of direction is like.” She ignored his wink, kind of. Had she been able to, she knew a light flush might have found her cheeks at his attempt at a suggestion. “You’re horrible, we’re leaving you home next year.”
