~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You were busy hauling pumpkins from your car to your kitchen, with immense difficulty, as the humongous vegetable weight more than a kilo at best.
It was the first day of the Spooky month, October.
You were planning on carving pumpkins to put up as decorations with your boyfriend Akinori, but he wasn't here yet. He was supposed to be back from the candy store an hour ago already.
You rolled your eyes, "I really cant trust this asshole with a small list of stuff! He's gonna buy the entire store!"
As you admired the burnt orange vegetable you took out a carving knife.
"This is halloween...this is halloween!" You hummed as you began cutting the top of the pumpkin.
So deep in your thoughts to feel the looming presence behind you.
A hand came to gently grasp the back of your neck and whisper, "I've come for your soul!"
You got such a shock that you turned around with the knife still in your hand, only to groan when you saw your boyfriend laughing at your unimpressed expression.
"Aki, you asshole!" You slapped his chest while he laughed, he keeled over snorting.
"Your face! Oh my god your face!" He said between wheezes of chuckles.
You kicked him and turned back around, putting down the knife before the urge threaten him with it came up.
He stopped laughing and watched your shoulders relax when you breathed out, he out his arms around your waist. Akinori smirked against your neck before kissing your slowly racing pulse, "You look so hot when you're mad! You miss me babe?"
You rolled your eyes, scoffing, "No! Honestly you scared me half to death...if I didn't see your stupid laughing face, you'd have lost an eye!"
He grinned, "I think I'd look good with an eyepatch and badass scar!"
You huffed, turning back to your precious pumpkin and drawing eyes where you'd cut it.
Akinori worked on the opposite end of the counter, hauling bag after bag of what you guessed was double the items of the list you gave him. And some additional candies.
He looked over at your pumpkin.
"That's cool! You're gonna carve a skeleton?"
You grinned up at him, "Yeah! I found this awesome idea on pinterest and decided to try it out!" You showed him the saved picture on your phone, "See?"
Akinori nodded and packed the candy out, you saw him take out another pumpkin, smaller than yours but still a nice one.
"So whatcha gonna carve?"
"Something that'll scare the kids!"
You chuckled, "Sadist!"
"Its gonna be so scary...that it'll blow your skeleton Sam away!"
You raised a brow, his statement challenging you. You put down the carving knife to put your chin in your palms on the countertop, "Is that so? You wanna bet that your carving skills are better than mine?"
He grinned, teasing, "Of course mine are better!"
"Really? Then how about a bet! If your pumpkin carving is scarier and better than mine, you can get all the candy for a week!"
"I accept the challenge! May the master of true fright win!"
~~~~~~~~~
The two of you set off to different spots in the house to carve out your pumpkins, agreeing to show then off at 5PM sharp.
Akinori had been slaving away, peeling and shaping his pumpkin.
He could taste all the candy canes already.
At 5PM, he and his horrible pumpkin were ready to terrify you.
He had used the picture to create a moderately accurate disfigured jack o' lantern face.
"Hey babe? Its 5 already! You cant still be carving!" He called out teasingly, victory smelling like it was his already.
He started to get a bit irritated with your lack of answer, "Hey! We agreed that at 5 we would show our pumpkins...you're cheating right now!"
Still no answer.
He decided to go up to your bedroom.
"Babe?" He knocked on the door.
Again no answer.
He opened the door to find you sitting at the desk, hands still carving the pumpkin with headphones on, no wonder you couldn't hear. Trying to be good-natured, he walked over to remind you that it was time.
"Hey...loser, get up!" He tried to grap your hand.
Only to grab a skeleton arm straight out of the jacket sleeve.
He shrieked, throwing the hand away and turning your body, "Is this a prank? Babe?!"
A horribly mangled jack o' lantern face grinned up at him where your head should have been, the sudden movement making the head fall at his feet.
Akinori screamed, like an actual shout.
While he was panicking as to what he was supposed to do with the creepy pumpkin sitting at his feet, a hand grabbed his shoulder and he screamed...again.
This time he was facing a pumpkin with a skeleton carved out of it.
"I've come for your soul!" The pumpkin with your body rasped.
He pushed you away and shrieked.
Then you started laughing.
"Oh your face! Your face!" You wheezed, taking the pumpkin away from your head and falling on the floor laughing. He watched your ministrations with a horrified expression.
"Y-you...," he stuttered.
"I think I just scared your soul back to the underworld! Now I can't collect it...pity!" You smirked at him before putting your arms around his neck.
"Were you scared babe?"
He half-laughed, his heart still racing.
"You are a cruel jerk!"
"Its only payback!"
He looked at your two pumpkins and sighed, he lost, before he even tried to win.
"Guess you get all the candy!" He pouted.
You kissed him before taking a packet of gummy worms from your pocket and putting them in your mouth, "Of course I get all the candy!"
He followed you in hauling your two pumpkins downstairs and pat his miserable looking one.
"Don't feel bad!"
"I don't...its just! I really thought you turned into a jack o lantern! And that you were gonna eat me!" He folded his arms.
In the kitchen you put your chin in your palms again, looking up at him seductively, "Well...you do look quite delicious when you're terrified! But I'll save you as my dessert for later!" You replied suggestively.
He quirked a brow, "Oh? I'm dessert huh?" He came over to you and put his arms around your waist.
"Uh-huh!"
He picked up another gummy worms and put it in his mouth, you caught the other end of it.
Once you both ate it finish he kissed you, licking into your mouth and tasting the sweetness of the candy on your tongue. You bit his lip and he sighed against your mouth.
"By any chance...are you willing to skip dinner and eat your dessert now?" He asked with a desperate pant in his tone.
You smirked against his lips, "I think I can move onto the main course right now!"
He sighed in relief, "Okay! Come on!" He giggled and dragged you out of the kitchen while kissing you.
~~~~~~~~~
Though both of you didn't notice how the pumpkin heads slowly turned to watch you two wrestle to go to the bedroom. The Skeleton Sam pumpkin in the middle grinned, "Delicious! Two tasty snacks! What do you think, brothers?"
His two fellow pumpkins nodded, "Tasty indeed brother!"
They laughed.
