I am back again w another prompt: doing elliots halloween tradition with him but also incorporating your own traditions since you too, are a big halloween fan... thank you!!
here you go! hope you enjoy love <3. also this got me really excited for halloween so thank you
It was finally the last day of October. Halloween. You and Elliot had been secretly anticipating it. The one night where you and him just hung out and celebrated with your favorite traditions.
Elliot had his traditions and you had yours. His were mostly about getting high out of his mind and watching The Careful Massacre Of The Bourgeoisie. You didn’t really understand why him and Darlene loved it. It must have been a sibling type thing. But I mean hey, the protagonist of the film was the main face of their revolution after all? You had your halloween traditions too. However, they were much more halloween themed. Elliot loved seeing you get all happy about him participating with you.
You dragged yourself into the apartment after a long day of work.
‘Elliot must still be working at the arcade’ you thought to yourself as you searched for him in the petite living space. You flopped onto the bed and kicked off your shoes. As you nuzzled your head into the pillow below you, you felt yourself start to drift off.
You woke up a few hours later to the familiar sound of keys clicking. You noticed it was dark outside.
“Shit,” you said propping yourself up. “Did I sleep too long?” you questioned.
Elliot swiveled around in his computer chair. He was hiding a blushed grin under his hoodie.
“nah” he hummed. “I was just about to wake you up”
You started to get out of bed as elliot lifted you up by putting his arm underneath yours.
“I ordered pizza” elliot smirked and pointed over to the table
You jumped next to him and kissed his cheek quickly so he wouldn't get mad at you.
He let a small smile escape his lips while he wiped his face like a child, only to mock you of course.
Once you were settled on the couch with pizza and plenty of candy, it was time to start your part of the halloween tradition. Yours took a little more effort than getting high, so you guys decided to do yours first.
“What do you have planned this year y/n” elliot chuckled
You shuffled over to the coat closet where your activity was hiding
Elliot rolled his eyes and slightly laughed when you showed him what you had planned
In your hands, you were holding two medium-sized pumpkins and 2 small carving knives.
“I know how much of an artist you are baby” you teased.
Elliot was surprisingly really interested in the pumpkin carving. You assumed it was only because he was with the person he felt the most comfortable with.
You carved a detailed jack-o’lantern face into the pumpkin. It had big eyes with an even bigger mouth, filled up with sharp teeth.
Elliot carved a slightly shittier rendition of flipper, your pet dog. He tried his best,and you knew it was not that good, but you praised it like it was museum-worthy. Just seeing him try filled your heart with affection.
After you and elliot finished carving, you placed the lit candles inside the pumpkins and set them on the kitchen counter. Elliot got the movie started and placed his computer on the coffee table. You sat next to him with about half a foot between you guys. You knew he wasn't high yet, so you didn't want to push your boundaries.
Elliot lit the joint and took a deep drag of the substance. When he inhaled in for a second time, he let out a slight cough. Not too much though. Your man knew how to handle his drugs.
About half an hour went by of the two of you sharing the joint and watching the gruesome movie.
Elliot suddenly glanced over at you and smiled. You could feel his eyes on you, so you looked up.
He bit his lip and smirked.“Come here” he said in a deep, scratchy tone. You scooted next to him and laid down on his chest. He put his arm around you and leaned his head on top of yours.
Moments like these were special. One, because you knew you would probably be the only person in eliott's life that he would let that close (physically and emotionally). And two, you knew that he trusted and loved you, even if he had trouble showing it sometimes. And this night was more than an example of that
