writing their first outing and kicking my feet, here are the vibes
october thirty first
warnings: headcannons, drinking, tooth achingly sweet fluff, lots and lots of domestic matty (my fave). Enjoy!
nora x matty
george and charli throw a costume party for halloween that year
matty goes as frankenstein and nora goes as his wife
nora spends all of October crafting their costumes by running around the various thrift stores in London
Matty begrudgingly agrees to go along with her idea at first, but after some convincing and being told he’d be rewarded he lets her dress the two of them up
she paints his face green and does his makeup, he does the white streak in her hair
the two of them taking the other’s costume very seriously and trying their best to make the other look as good as possible
nora also decides on making graveyard brownies for the party and throws bits of candy bars upright in the pan of delectable chocolate batter
they end up each getting a bit wine drunk at the party and being complimented left and right over how cute their outfits are and how well-suited the are for each other
nora beams and giggles all night while matty makes terribly corny jokes over the blood-red punch bowl
the two end the evening by heading home and splitting a spliff still dressed in their elaborate outfits
quite high later that evening, while wrapped in bed sheets and bare-face matty recites some bits of the novel - they had started it on October 1st in preparation… matty claiming he had to go “method” for his costume
nora falls asleep in mattys arms as his glasses droop down his face and his voice lulls her into her dreams
rooney x matty
it is a quiet, cool, picture perfect halloween in the lakes district
matty is up visiting rooney from London after working on the boy’s 6th album
the two spend the holiday by watching some films in the afternoon (alternating between scary and cozy - “a palette cleanser” Rooney states as she turns on Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride, Matty picks The Blair Witch Project to follow it)
they fall asleep together halfway through Casper and awake to a knock echoing through the house coming through the front door
Luckily, Rooney had gone out and got assorted candies for trick or treating, making sure to grab some of Matty’s favorites - maltesers, sour spiders, mixed bags of haribo gummies and mini toblerones
Matty also decides that they should get dressed up if theyre gonna be handing out candy so he ran out that afternoon and grabbed two skeleton onesies and he watches some youtube videos about how to do skeleton facepaint
the pair quickly throw on their outfits and apply some of the makeup according to Matty’s instruction and greet the adorable boy dressed as a sheet ghost and girl dressed as a kitten at their front door
Rooney hands their parents over some cups of mulled wine and pop candy in the bags and wish them a happy halloween
the next group is two older girls dressed as “hot vampires”, Matty compliments their fangs and gives them wine and candy… Rooney spots the two girls kissing, holding hands and laughing as they make their way from the house and down the street and practically melts at how cute they are
Rooney and Matty finish passing out their treats to each group that knocks on their door and they tiredly collapse back onto their couch after wiping the makeup off… Rooney falls asleep quickly, but not before she can hear her favorite voice whisper a “Happy Halloween, Ro… I love you”
thea x matty
as for these two, matty has to work that night at the bar and his boss tells all the employees to dress in a costume
Matty dresses up as Woody from Toy Story since he had most of the supplies for it in his own closet and didn't want to spend much time or money finding materials
Unbeknownst to him, Thea leaves work early with Mona in tow and the two girls go around looking for supplies so she can be Jesse from Toy Story
She finds the cow-hide chaps and the red cowboy hat at the local Ralph Lauren store and she already owned a crisp white button down and some denim cut-offs
Throwing the outfit on and having Mona braid her hair into pig-tails, she prepares for surprising Matty at the bar
Mona drops her fellow texan off at the bar and wishes her a happy halloween as her mercedes peels away
Leaving her in a cloud of dramatic dust, Thea opens the old-timey saloon style door to the bar and saunters in like a pseudo-female John Wayne
Matty’s jaw hits the floor when he sees her roll in, he takes his hat off in shock and places it over his chest out of breath
“Cornflower… you look positively drool worthy, I love the chaps on you!” He quickly compliments and she makes her way over to him. She goes on to order a couple ranch waters and a plate of appetizers as she enjoys the live band and the atmosphere of the busy bar
She watches Matty move gracefully around the bar, quickly serving each customer happily and dancing to the music a bit, she practically becomes liquid as he winks at her at one point while making a sex-on-the-beach
They drive home that night in his Bronco and fall into their comfortable bed… it truly is domestic bliss
