SPECIAL! Halloween Traditions
“Baby, hurry up! You take forever!” Harry called up the stairs of your home, his voice echoing around the large building, his voice bouncing in the atmosphere. “Hold on, hold on… I can’t find my phone!” You cried back, hearing his chuckle from downstairs. “Sweetheart, it’s down here. Now, come down these steps and let’s go. We need to be there on time, to pick the best pumpkins” Harry called, as you walked down the stairs, dressed warmly for the cold, fresh air outside in London.
“Well, don’t you look all cosy?” He asked, as he passed your phone to you, watching you slide it into your front trouser pocket. “Your jumper is the only thing that can keep me warm on a day like that…” You sighed, looking out the window to see dull clouds in the sky. “Hmm… I suppose. But I could have kept you warm!” He whined, as you poked his shoulder playfully. “Come on, you big baby. Let’s go” You grinned, taking his beanie from his head. “Hey! You messed my hair now!” He whined, as he ran a hand through his long curls, holding it in a bun at the back of his head.
“You know… I love it when you wear your hair up” You smirked, as you wrapped your arms around his neck, pulling his head down to level with yours. “Oh, do you now?” He asked, his minty breath fanning your face. “I do… You should wear it up more often” You grinned, as he placed a kiss to your nose. “Come on, let’s go” He grinned, as he laced your fingers together.
“So, I was thinking…” Harry started, as your hands swung between the two of you, the gate for the pumpkin patch coming into sight. “We could get 2 pumpkins. One large one and one small one” He smiled, as you looked up at him, a confused look on his face. “What?” You asked, as he chuckled lightly. “The large one could be me, and the small one could be you… Like, couples pumpkins. You know, we could put our faces in them, or our names…” He suggested, as the two of you walked under the sign, and into the pumpkin patch. “I like that idea… I never knew you had such creative ideas in here” You giggled, tapping his head cheekily. “Oh, haha. That wasn’t funny” He said sarcastically, placing a kiss to your head. “Come on… Then, we can go to the coffee shop and get you a coffee” He smiled, as he set off down the lanes of pumpkins.
“Oooh, this one is good, Haz!” You called from one side of the pumpkin patch field, your gaze focused on one large pumpkin on the ground. “I have a good one for you…” He smirked, as he picked up a small baby pumpkin, and showing you. “Harold! I am not small… I’m nearly as tall as you” You cried, as an elderly couple walked behind you, their grandchildren toddling in front. “I’m joking, baby. I’m kidding. I have a good one, I promise” He said, as he picked up a fairly normal sized pumpkin, for you. He walked over to you, the pumpkin sat under his arm. “Oh, that’s a nice one. Good spot, baby” He mumbled, as he placed the pumpkin from his arm on the floor. “Thank you…” You grinned, proudly. “I deserve a Pumpkin Spice Latte, and a slice of carrot cake for that, I think” You smirked, as he turned to look at you. “Don’t push it…” He said, as he lifted the large pumpkin up.
“Well, that was a walk and a half… How was your first pumpkin picking?” He asked, as you snuggled deeper into his side, your coffee mug in your hands. “It was wonderful, thanks to the man who took me” You smiled, as you looked up, eyes connecting. “You’re welcome… Now open” He whispered, as he held the fork to your lips, crumbs falling from the carrot cake, and onto the plate in his hand. “This is incredible cake” You said, chewing softly on the moist, fluffy material.
“I could make this…” He muttered, as you took a sip. “Or, we can both make Pumpkin Pie later on, when we finish carving these things” He said, kicking the orange fruit by his feet. “Sounds like a plan” You smiled, patting his thigh gently.
“(Y/N)! We’ve missed you!” You heard two voices call, as you turned from your spot in the kitchen, to see two young girls dressed completely different to the other. “Hello girls! I’ve missed you too! Don’t you look fabulous in your outfits?” You grinned, as Phoebe did a small twirl, her witches dress flaring out. “Where’s your mum? And Dan? And your sisters?” You asked, as Johannah stepped into the kitchen. “Hello, sweetpea! You’ve definitely become the best decorated house on the street!” She said, as she took you up into her arms, being careful of your hair, which was back-combed and sprayed to make it look like cobwebs had been made in your hair. “Well, you can thank Louis for that. He wanted to be the best decorated house this year… He went full out this morning” You giggled, as Louis stepped into the kitchen, dressed in his rockstar costume, with a star painted on his eye.
“I’m proud of this, thank you very much. My lovely missus here decorated the inside, and I did the outside. Quite impressive actually” He smiled, as he walked over to you, placing a kiss to your temple. A scream from one of the girls was soon heard in the house, a door slamming and footsteps running into the kitchen. “I suppose that Zombie sitting on the toilet was Louis’ idea!?” Felicite asked, a hand on her chest. “Sorry… It worked thought!” Louis laughed, as his sister smacked his arm. “Not funny, at all, Louis! I nearly died!” She cried, a laugh escaping her lips. “Where’s Lottie?” You asked, as Johannah peeked around the door, looking into the sitting room.
“She’s in here, finishing off her make-up. She’s done everyone’s today… Very talented little lady we have here” Johannah said, as you opened the kitchen door wider, looking into the room. “Oh, wow… You look incredible, Lottie!” You giggled, as she turned around, her hair in pigtails above her ears, pom-poms sat on the coffee table, and a dress on her body with blood and scars. “Say, I had to look awesome if we were coming to a party like this!” She smiled, as she walked up to Louis and hugged him tightly. “And here we have… An octopus and a spider” You heard Dan say, as he walked into the house, kicking the door shut behind him. “Oh my goodness… That is adorable!” You squealed, as Dan placed the twins on the floor by the sofa, the hands clapping with delight. “Dan’s idea for the octopus” Johannah said, as Louis laughed. “Are we going to get this party started or not!?” Felicite asked, as she turned the stereo on, music blasting around the house.
The party was in full swing, Louis’ family all enjoying the small nibbles, games and films playing on the TV. “I think we’ve aced this… We should definitely through a large one next year. Have all the boys over, your family, their families, my family… We could definitely pull off party of the year” Louis grinned, his arm wrapped around your shoulder. “Oh, I have the best costumes for next year!” He grinned, as you looked up, a smile on your face. “Zombie bride and groom… What an idea!” He grinned, as you laughed softly. “Sounds like a great idea…” You whispered, as you watched Doris and Ernest shuffle along the floor, the homemade legs dragging along the carpet. “Come here, you little spider!” Louis grinned, as he picked Ernest up, watching as Dan picked up Doris. “Aren’t you a scary looking spider? Did Lottie do your face?” Louis asked, as Ernest giggled and patted Louis’ face. “She did, didn’t she? She’s a clever sister, isn’t she?” Louis grinned, as he looked over to his sisters dancing like crazy in the corner.
“Hey, girls? Do you want to play a game?” Louis asked, as they walked over, crowding around him. “What game?” Felicite asked, as you stood up. “Come with me, and we’ll show you” You grinned, as you walked into the kitchen, seeing Johannah sat at the table with Dan, who had Doris on his lap. “Ooh, hello. What are you up too now?” Dan asked, as you smiled cheekily, walking over to the fridge, pulling out 3 bowls of jelly. “I have a game for us to play” You smiled, as Louis took a bowl from you. “There are bugs in here, yeah? You have to get them out, and the first one to get all of them out, wins this” Louis grinned, as he held up a bag of chocolate coins. “Okay, that sounds easy” Lottie grinned, as Louis smirked. “There’s a twist… You can’t use your hands. Only your face” He grinned, as Lottie’s face dropped. “But… My hair” She whispered, as you giggled softly. “You can wash it straight away… I promise” You smiled, as Louis split the kids into three teams. “Right, Lottie and Fizzy are the green team, Phoebe and Daisy are the orange team, and me and (Y/N) are the red team” He said, as you grinned cheekily.
“Okay, and three, two, one, go!” Johannah said, as you stuck your face into the jelly, Lottie and Phoebe doing the same. “Messy, or what?” Dan asked, as Louis laughed. “Come on, babe!” He cheered, as you pulled out a bug from the bottom of the bowl. “This is icky, Tommo! Why did you come up with this!?” You cried, as he pushed your head into the jelly. “Eugh!” You squealed, before digging around in the mush. Lottie soon had all of the bugs from the jelly, ending the game, all three of you with jelly covered faces. “You look gorgeous, girls!” Johannah laughed, as she took a quick photo. “So beautiful…” Louis whispered in your ear, as you turned around, placing a kiss on his lips, making sure your rub your face with his, a giggle and a laugh coming from the two of you.
“Hello there, Batman” You giggled, walking into the bedroom, seeing Liam sliding into his Batman costume. “Hello, Robin… My gorgeous sidekick” He smirked, as he looked up, seeing you dressed in your Robin costume. The green skirt barely covering your thighs, the tight black top adorning your body. “I don’t know, Liam…” You sighed, as you looked in the mirror at your outfit. “What’s wrong?” He asked, as he walked over, kicking off the outfit from his ankles. His boxers hanging on his hips. “Liam, I feel exposed…” You mumbled, pulling the top up your chest, trying to cover as much cleavage as possible. “You look wonderful, baby… I promise you” He whispered, kissing the shell of your ear showing from your hair.
“Liam, I don’t know…” You muttered, as he wrapped his arms around your waist. “Baby, you look wonderful. I promise you” Liam said, as you looked up. “I think I got the wrong size, Liam… The skirt barely covers my legs” You sighed, as he looked down at your legs, his eyes lingering. “Liam…” You warned, as he lifted his head up, a blush on his cheeks. “Sorry… You look incredible. Please, baby. Don’t leave Batman to be alone, he needs his trusty sidekick” He said, as you sighed. “Fine, fine… If I want to come home, we can come home, yeah?” You asked, as he nodded. “Of course. Of course. To be completely honest, I don’t really want to go out tonight. I was looking forward to a nice little cuddle, watching a movie, and answering to little kids” Liam admitted, as you sighed.
“Can’t we stay home?” You asked, as he shook his head. “I promised Tom and Andy that we’d go” He admitted, as you groaned, turning around, and resting your forehead against his chest. “Come on, we need to do your face” He said, as you hissed. “I don’t want too” You whined, as he chuckled. “Come on, you need to do mine” He said, as you groaned. “Hurry up and get dressed then” You sighed, smiling up at him.
“So, you just want the bottom half of your face black?” You asked, a plastic plate of face-paint in your hand. “Why not just wear a mask? You got a mask with the costume, didn’t you?” You asked, as he nodded, from his seat on the toilet lid. “I want my face done… Or, you could just past his eye mask over my face? Of maybe the batman sign! Oh, do that!” He grinned, like a child at Christmas. “Okay, okay. Calm down” You giggled, as you grabbed your black make-up pencil, drawing an outline over his face. “Like that, yeah?” You asked, placing the lid on, as he looked in the mirror. “Yeah, looks good. Have you been taking tips from Zayn?” He asked, chuckling lightly. “Nope, I did art as a GCSE, did I not tell you?” You smiled, dabbing the sponge into the black paint.
“Well, I think we look pretty fantastic” Liam grinned, as he went to take a photo of the both of you for Instagram. “We do, don’t we? I’m warming up to my outfit” You grinned, as he snapped a photo, his lips on your cheek. “Let’s get going. Tom and Andy are waiting in the taxi downstairs” Liam said, as he slipped his phone into your bag. “Come on then, you party animal” You giggled, following him out the room, and down the stairs. “Have you got everything? Money? Phone?” You asked, as he nodded. “I do, I packed it all when you were in the shower earlier” He said, as you nodded. “Right, let’s go then. We’re ready to party” You grinned, as he took your hand, leading you out of the house.
“Wa-hey! Batman and his sidekick, Robin!” Andy grinned, as Liam got into the car, helping you in. “Hey, lads. You alright?” Liam asked, as you sat beside him, shutting the door behind you. “Just ready to party…” Tom grinned, as the taxi drove off. “Where is this party again?” You asked, a hand resting on Liam’s thigh. “At Funky Buddha. It’s their annual Halloween party” Andy said, as he smiled at you. “Must I say, you look incredible in that outfit, love” He added, as you blushed a bright red. “Thank you. You look wonderful too. And you, Tom” You grinned, as they thanked you. “I’d love to match costumes with my girlfriend… But, she’s gone away, which sucks” Andy muttered, as Tom chuckled, patting his knee. “We could have match, Andy… I was well up for that” He said, as Liam laughed. “Awh, you guys would have been really cute!” You grinned, as Tom kicked your knee playfully.
A few hours had passed, and Liam had officially let himself go. He had drunk more than he should, and being the drunk he is, he never let you go. He was cuddled into you, his arms were always around you, and he would pull you onto the dancefloor with him, with you pulled against his body. “Babe?” He slurred, his arm wrapped loosely around your waist. “I… Love you” He hiccupped, the smell of alcohol on his breath. “I love you too, babe” You smiled, leaning up and placing a kiss to his cheek. “I want to go home… My head’s hurting, and I feel sick” He whined, his head falling to your shoulder. “I told you not to eat all of those chocolates, Liam…” You sighed, as he pouted down at you. “Come on then, let’s go home. You’re going to have a killer headache in the morning…” You sighed, as he groaned. “Don’t… I’m never going out on Halloween again” He muttered, causing you to giggle softly, and take his hand in yours.
“Do you have the bowls of sweets, Zayn?” You asked, as you rushed in from the kitchen, a bowl of cookies in your hand. “I do, they’re all set up by the door. Don’t worry” Zayn called from the porch, where he was hanging the fake cobweb up in the corner. “Well, doesn’t this look wonderful?” You grinned, as he turned around, and stepped back into the house, taking in his work. He had written ‘Happy Halloween’ on a piece of paper, with drawings of pumpkins and vampires and monsters surrounding it. “It does… Thank you, sweetness” He grinned, as he wrapped an arm around your waist.
“What time is Niall and Harry coming?” You asked, as he shrugged. “They told me 8, to try and miss the trick or treaters, so we have another 3-4 hours on our own” He grinned, as you looked up. “Well, I have Paranormal Activity set up, come and watch it with me? This looks good in here, don’t worry” You smiled, as he took your hand, closing the front door. “Come on then” He muttered, as he took a cookie from the bowl in your hand.
“I don’t get why you like these films… It’s completely fake” Zayn muttered, as he bite from another cookie from the bowl. “Is someone scared?” You asked, patting his knee softly. “No I am not… I just don’t get why this is a film. Like, it’s clearly someone acting as the person pushing and pulling everything” He said, as you looked at him. “You are so freaked, aren’t you?” You asked, as he looked down at you. “No, I am not. I do not get scared, missy” He said, his attention turning to the door. The chatter of people from the other side coming through to the sitting room. “You go, I’ll go and get the brownies from the oven” You said, as he stood up, rushing to the door.
“Trick or treat!” Someone said, a laugh coming from Zayn. “What do you look like?” You heard him say, before a bang from the front door being shut. “That was quick…” You said, as you walked into the sitting room, seeing two people sat on the sofa. Harry and Niall. “Hey boys” You said, as they turned their heads, grinning. “Hey, love! We brought drink, and chocolate… You know, to help with the snacks” Harry grinned, as you placed the bowl of brownies on the table beside the cookies. “Thank you boys, do you look all creepy dressed up like that?” You asked, as Harry took the bald cap off, along with his nose as well. “I hated that… I thought we could have freaked Zayn out, but it didn’t work. Niall gave it away…” He said, as Niall shrugged. “I couldn’t take Harry seriously with the nose… He just looked stupid” Niall laughed, as Zayn took a seat on the armchair. “Well, he did look quite scary, I’ll give him his due” You giggled, as you sat on the arm by Harry.
“So, what movies have we got lined up?” Niall asked, as you walked over to the table, picking up a handful of DVDs. “We have the Paranormal Activity films, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Mama, The Conjuring, and whatever films you’ve brought” You smiled, as Harry grinned. “They sound wonderful… And you made your brownies too!” Niall grinned, as he picked the bowl up. “Ah, ah… Put it down!” You said, as he pouted at you. “I have more brownies in the oven now… Don’t worry” You smiled, as he grinned, taking one from the bowl. “So, what movie first?” Zayn asked, as he looked to the three of you sat on the sofa. “How about The Nightmare Before Christmas?” You suggested, your head turning to the door. “You put it in, I’ll get the door” You grinned, as you ran to the door, opening it up. You grinned as you looked down at the small children, dressed from skeletons, to ghosts, to werewolves, to princesses. “Awh, you all look incredible! Here we go” You grinned, holding the bowl, as all the children took sweets from it.
“We should have a party next year…” You suggested from your place on Zayn’s lap in the armchair. “Like, a themed party. You know, Disney themed or pirate themed. Or maybe Scooby-Doo” You grinned, as Zayn chuckled softly. “Baby, stop. That’s next year. Let’s stress then” Zayn grinned, Harry chuckled, sipping his beer, passing another to Niall. “Louis and Eleanor have gone to a party which is Zombie themed… They look pretty awesome from what I’ve seen” Niall chuckled, as he showed the picture from Instagram. “Liam and Sophia have gone to the Funky Buddha Halloween party, dressed as The Joker and Maleficent. I was with them this morning… They looked pretty cool” Harry laughed, as he showed the photo on his phone. “We should have a party next year. Organise it early though..” Zayn said, as you nodded.
“Well, Mama it is then!” Harry grinned, as you put the DVD in the DVD player, taking your seat on the sofa, everyone having changed seats. Niall was drunkenly laid on the armchair, with Harry slouched on the sofa. You sat between Harry and Zayn, a blanket on your lap. “I hate this film.. Especially in the dark” You whined, your head falling to Zayn’s shoulder. “Awh, come and have a cuddle with your cuddle buddy!” He grinned, a beer between his legs. “I hate you guys… I could have been at a party, with friends, drinking and singing, but instead you guys wanted a movie night instead!” You whined, as Harry lifted your legs onto his. “Cheer up, miss moany pants. It’s not real” Harry slurred, patting your legs. “I know that, stupid. I hate watching them in the dark… You never know what could come behind you” You started, your eyes widening as you felt someone breath on your neck. “Boo” Someone whispered behind you, causing you to scream. “What the heck!? Niall?” You asked, as he laughed. “Sorry… That was just an opportunity that had to be taken!” He cried, as you slapped his shoulder. “You suck…” You muttered, before giggling.
“Where is my gorgeous princess?” You heard Niall call from upstairs, a giggle coming from the room above the kitchen. “There she is! Don’t you look beautiful?” Niall asked, as you heard another giggle and a squeal. “Daddy, stop it! You’re going to ruin my dress!” You heard your 5 year old whine, the floorboards creaking above you. Your daughters footsteps were heard running down the stairs, with Niall’s following, her quick and out of breath figure standing in the doorway. “Mummy, do I look pretty?” You heard her ask, as you turned around from the counter, wiping your hands on a tea towel. “You loo gorgeous, baby! Oh, so very pretty” You smiled, as she walked into your open arms. “Mummy? Are you coming trick or treating? Can we go and see Uncle Louis? Oh, and Uncle Harry!? He gives me ice cream” She said, as Niall walked into the kitchen, dressed in his Prince Charming outfit to match your daughters.
“Now, who is that gorgeous prince standing in my kitchen doorway? I have never felt so honoured to have a prince stand in my home” You said, jokingly, as Niall walked over, placing a kiss to your head. “Hello, m’lady. You are looking very beautiful in your apron this evening” Niall grinned, as you smacked his head cheekily. “I’m going to change now… I’ve got cookies and cakes, and muffins made, I don’t want you eating them, do you hear me? They are for later” You grinned, as you patted his chest. He scoffed, looking at you. “I wouldn’t eat them! I’m not so sure about this innocent little princess here though. You should keep an eye on this one” He joked, pulling his young daughter into his body.
“Right, who do we want to visit first, sweetie?” You asked from the driver seat, Niall sitting in the passenger seat beside you. “Can we see Uncle Louis? And Auntie Eleanor?” She asked, chewing on a chocolate bar you had given her. “Of course we can. Then we can go and see Uncle Harry too, yeah?” Niall asked, as she nodded in the back seat. “Yeah! Uncle Harry gives me ice cream…” She said, as she blushed a bright red. “Awh, does someone have a crush on Uncle Harry?” You asked, as she covered her face, blushing. “Mummy, sh!” She whispered, as Niall chuckled softly. “Uncle Harry will be happy” He grinned, as you slapped his shoulder, turning down Louis’ and Eleanor’s road.
“Uncle Louis, open the door!” Your daughter shouted, banging her flat palm against the wood. “Hold on, little lady. I need to get some sweets for you…” You heard Louis call, rustles and footsteps being heard. “What’s the words, little lady?” Louis asked, as your daughter giggled. “Trick or treat!” She said, as he opened the door. “Ah, hello you! Don’t you look beautiful, you little princess” Louis grinned, as Eleanor came to the door. “Awh, look at you! You even get your daddy to dress up too” Eleanor giggled, as she hugged you tightly. “Mummy said daddy had to, otherwise she wouldn’t give him a special cuddle later…” Your daughter said, as she took the chocolate from the bowl Louis was holding. “Ohhh, a bit of bribery eh?” Louis winked, looking at your shocked expression. Eleanor laughed softly before grabbing her camera, and getting her and Niall to stand together. “Let’s get some photos, then you can get off and get lots of chocolate” Eleanor grinned, as Louis placed the bowl down.
After many photos had been taken, and many kisses had been exchanged, you and Niall got your daughter back in the car, after many pleads of wanting to stay with Louis. “Come on then, let’s go and have ice-cream with Uncle Harry. He may let you stay the night, if you ask him nicely” Niall said, as your daughter giggled. “Can I, mummy? Can I stay with Uncle Harry?” Your daughter asked, as you sighed, and smiled at her. “If Uncle Harry is okay with it…” You said, as she squealed. “Uncle Harry gives me ice-cream, mummy. And he has Frozen too! He sings with me!” Your daughter giggled, as you pulled into Harry’s driveway.
“There’s my gorgeous little princess!” Harry grinned, as he knelt down, and picked your daughter up. “And there’s your Prince Charming… Doesn’t your daddy look funny all dressed up like that?” Harry joked, as Niall gave him a sarcastic look. “Uncle Harry? Can I have some ice-cream instead of sweets? Uncle Louis gave me a lot, and I feel sick from them!” Your daughter sighed, as Harry poked her nose cheekily. “Of course you can. With chocolate sauce, and sprinkles, yeah?” He asked, as he set your daughter on the ground. “Yep! Thank you, Uncle Harry!” Your daughter said, as she lifted the front of her dress up, and ran into the house. “Harry, would you mind looking after her tonight? She really wants to stay here…” You asked, as he turned round, smiling. “Of course I can. I have a set of her pyjamas here, I’ll just bring her home tomorrow” He said, as you sighed happily. “Thank you, Haz. You’re a life saver” You grinned, as he pulled you in for a hug. “You better get home and take care of your Prince Charming” Harry smirked, winking at Niall.
“Sweetie, come here!” You called from your place on the sofa, in the living room of Harry’s home. “Yes, mummy?” She asked, as she walked in with a bowel of ice-cream. “You be good for Harry tonight, yeah? Treat him well, and don’t trick him. I know your daddy has been giving you some ideas… Don’t do them” You said, as Harry chuckled. “Oh, she wouldn’t… She’s a princess” Harry said, as she grinned and twirled around, her dress flaring out. “She wouldn’t follow the evil Halloween tricks…” Harry grinned, as he patted Niall’s back.
“I’m surprised Prince Charming gave her those ideas, anyway” He joked, as Niall laughed, patting your thigh softly.
Happy Halloween, for yesterday! Thought I would post a little special preference for the special festivity. Hope you all had a great day yesterday, and got lots of sweets and chocolate. I had a wonderful Halloween party, so that was good. :)
