Going thru a few of devon's characters and guessing what they'd be getting up to on Halloween
#1 Adam
He's most likely taking you to some frat party, nothing too special, but he does dress up - well kinda. He puts a little fake blood around his mouth, says he's a vampire and calls it a day. Halloween is more about the parties than the spooks for him.
#2 Freddy Klein
Halloween is a business opportunity for him, knowing that parents are gonna be taking their kids trick or treating, he organises a few spooky games and refreshment to try and get their attention to the dealership. You help the kids play games like bobbing for apples, while Freddy tries to sell cars to their parents. Once the night is over, the two of you celebrate some successful sales wrapped up on the sofa with a couple of beers.
#3 Casper Galloway
Casper HATES Halloween, he's a big scaredy cat. Even the doorbell ringing from trick or treaters makes him jump out of his skin. He's still pretty freaked out from the whole zemon thing, so you go out of your way to distract him on Halloween. You order a pizza and snuggle up in bed to watch anything other than a horror film - he usually picks a rom com because let's face it, this man is a huuuuge softie.
#4 Mike (rip picture quality)
You and Mike go to great lengths to make Halloween fun for Angel. You carve pumpkins together, make her a little boo basket and take her trick or treating. You let her stay up an hour past her bed time on Halloween, so she can watch a spooky film for kids, like monster House. Once she's been put to bed, you and Mike split a bottle of wine while watching a classic horror film and fall asleep on the sofa together.
#5 Dean Taylor
According to Dean, Halloween is just an excuse to go out and raise hell without getting in trouble. He's been known to graffiti people's houses, set people's bins on fire and even mug drunk party goers. He's kinda an ass.
Where are you while all this is going on? You're at home none the wiser, waiting for him to get back so you can watch a movie together. You're under the impression that he's just out getting some snacks.. but now he's been gone an hour and you're pretty sure the store is closed by now.. oh, never mind, he just got back. He always seems to show up juuuust when you start to worry.
#Rodrick Heffley (yeah i made you wait until the very end, I know that's who you came here for)
He's throwing a rager, and you better believe he's gone all out with his costume. He's painted his face to look like a skeleton and ordered a cheap robe off amazon so he can go as the grim reaper. He usually gets pretty drunk at parties, but on Halloween, every time without a doubt, he gets absolutely wasted. It ends up being your job to carry him up to bed and try to wipe his face paint off him so he doesn't ruin his bedsheets. He ends up getting very clingy and insists that you stay and cuddle with him instead of going back to the party - which you have no problem with at all.
A/n happy Halloween everyone! Hope you enjoyed these hcs, and let me know if you think I should do more "How different characters would act in a scenario" type headcanons- because this was a lot of fun to write!

You sat on the sofa, taking a large gulp of your drink. You always looked forward to Adam's parties, he and Charlie had been your best friends for about a year, and it was nice to spend time with the two of them. In the past, Adam's parties had become something of a free for all. At first he was okay with it, not quite coherent enough to care about the holes being punched in his walls, the stench of pcp emanating from his bathroom, or the broken glass on his carpet. But as he'd started to get his shit together and grow up a bit, he was less fond of his apartment becoming a hive of crime and wanton desire. One of the perks of your friendship was that you were pretty good at defusing situations before they happened, and you didn't really care if people liked you or not, so you weren't afraid to be bad cop and kick people out on Adam's behalf if they got too out of hand.
Adam joined you on the sofa, a glass of bourbon in his hand. This night was like any other, you scanned the room keeping an eye out for trouble, while Adam rolled you a cigarette.
"I see you found my bourbon then," he said, nodding towards the drink you'd helped yourself to.
"Well you didn't expect me to spend the whole night drinking cheap beer did you?" You replied smugly.
Adam laughed and shook his head.
"You're an asshole you know that? This was expensive" he feigned annoyance with you
"Tastes expensive too" you teased, swirling your drink in your hand.
You sat in comfortable silence for a bit, letting the laid back beats of wu-tang punctuate the lack of dialogue, when something caught your attention.
"Dude," you called toward a shaggy haired party goer stood in the corner of the room, smoking on something that definitely wasn't weed or a cigarette.
"Take that shit to the alley, it fucking stinks"
"Hey whatever man," he mumbled before slinking out the apartment door.
"Thanks" Adam said, shooting you a wink.
Just then, Charlie's familiar frame entered the room and made it's way over to the two of you.
"Me and the others are gonna head over to the other side of town soon, apparently one of the frat houses is throwing a rager. You guys gonna come?" He inquired.
"Man I'm too tired for that shit" Adam groaned, throwing his head back.
"I can't think of anything worse. I'd just end up dodging a bunch of frat guys asking 'is it true what they say about girls with piercings' all night" you said.
"Suit yourselves," Charlie said, before turning to the rest of the crowd, "guys come on, I don't wanna miss this party".
Gradually, the guests trickled out of the small apartment, leaving just you and Adam.
"Shit, I better call an uber, there's no way I'm walking in the state that I'm in" you said, pulling out your phone
"Aw did someone over do it?" Adam poked fun at you.
"Behave. Hang on, what the fuck? It says I'm banned?" You exclaimed, looking at the uber app.
"Lemme see," Adam said taking your phone, "ohohoh shit, you HAVE been banned" he sneered.
"I don't even know how that could've happened, I haven't used uber in ages. I mean, apart from that time I let you..." your voice trailed off as you put two and two together, looking up to see Adam's face painted with a guilty smile.
"Adam did you spill your guts all over an uber booked in my name by any chance?" You asked, with a put on polite tone.
He just shrugged.
"You asshole!" You cried out, lifting up one of the couch cushions and hitting him with it.
"I'm sorry! Look dude, you can just stay here tonight. I'll help you get your account back in the morning" he said, offering an olive branch in hopes that you hadn't seen how hard he was trying not to laugh at the situation.
"Fine. And I think I'll take that refill you were about to offer me" you responded, smugly handing your empty glass to him.
"Whatever your highness wants" he joked before dissapearing to the kitchen.
The pair of you sat idly on the sofa, smoking and arguing over which song to play next for a little while, until the conversation turned to your personal lives.
"Where's whats-her-face tonight anyways?" You asked Adam, referring to his latest friend with benefits.
"Oh Stacey?" He took a sip "long gone. I'm done with that"
"Are you serious man? Her tits were like the size of my head, how in the fuck have you upgraded from that?" You laughed.
Adam found himself chuckling with you, before responding.
"Nah, I mean I'm done with hookups. For now, at least. Like, don't get me wrong she was really fucking hot, but I don't know, I always just felt miserable afterwards" he dipped his head down slightly, cringing at himself for letting himself get slightly too real.
"No fucking way, I never thought I'd hear you say that" you teased, feeling ever so slightly proud of him. "How's abstinence treating you then?"
"You should know, miss I don't do hookups" he said.
It was true, as a rule, you didn't do hookups. You used to, and definitely still could if you wanted to, but you just didn't see the appeal of being that intimate with a stranger anymore.
"Man it gets hard, but it'll be worth it in the long run. Not like the dating pool has me spoilt for choice though" you said, taking a drag from your cigarette.
"Preaching to the choir. Seems like people around here either want nothing but sex or they're talkin bout 'how many kids you want?' 'What are you plans for the future?' Like, hell if I know, I just wanna meet someone that makes me laugh" Adam complained, dipping his ashes.
"While it is pretty jarring to hear you complain about people only wanting sex, you put it perfectly man" you said.
"Feels kinda good to get that off my chest. Don't get me wrong or anything, like I love Charlie, but I could never talk about this shit with him" Adam rambled.
You had to admit, it was oddly reassuring hearing Adam letting his human side out. You loved the lairy attitudes of you two best friends, but it got somewhat lonely being the only girl in the trio sometimes, you didn't often get the chance to talk about real shit. You found yourself feeling slightly sorry for Adam, it seemed like he'd been wanting to be more honest about his feelings for quite some time, but never felt brave enough to do so. Following this train of thought, you found yourself saying something you wouldn't normally say.
"At the risk of sounding corny as fuck, when was the last time someone gave you a hug?"
Adam puffed out his cheeks and exhaled before answering
"Too long ago, man"
"Well bring it in, dude" you said, leaning over to him with open arms.
The two of you hugged, giggling, and both slightly embarrassed, but enjoying it nonetheless. It seemed as though the pair of you had been needing this.
When the hug ended, Adam's arm remained over your shoulder, and you remained leaning on him comfortably. It should have felt weird, being so touchy feely with your bro like this, and in a way it did feel a bit weird, but at the same time it was comfortable and you didn't ever want it to stop.
"Look at you, getting all soft on me are we?" Adam teased.
"Watch yourself" you warned playfully
"Or what?" He grinned
"Or this" you said, swiftly tickling his ribs.
Through laughs, Adam somehow managed to snake his arms around your waist and hold you in place, unable to tickle him any longer. The laughter died down and the two of you found yourselves staring at eachother, both smiling shyly.
"You always make me laugh, y/n" he said, his voice low and gentle - it wasn't the lighthearted casual way he normally spoke.
"Same with you" You replied, hearing the softness on your own voice.
Ever so slowly, as though you were afraid to startle one another, your faces edged closer and closer together, until finally, your lips met. The kiss was gentle, tame and full of affection. It should have felt unexpected, unnatural, but for some reason it just felt inevitable, as though it had been a long time coming.
You both pulled away, blushing and smiling timidly
"Wow. How long you been holding that back?" You asked, your voice barely a whisper.
Matching your volume, Adam responded "longer than I think either of us are willing to admit"
Your smile grew in size, which seemed to reassure Adam, who'd felt a little worried that he'd overestimated your feelings for him.
"So.. we make eachother laugh. I think that meets both our standards," you said, earning a small chuckle from Adam.
"Should we stop putting off the inevitable and just.. you know.. give it a go?" Adam said, feeling a bit more confident now.
"What, me and you?" You asked, wanting to hear him say it.
"Yeah, me and you" he smiled
"I'd like that" you said, before kissing him gently.
You snuggled up to him on the sofa, and when the moment passed, the two of you resumed playfully making fun of eachother for being so sickly and cutesy. There was no use denying it any longer, you really were perfect for eachother.
