✘ CLOSED STARTER — @msumabel​

Malia was actually quite nervous to be out and about this Halloween. She’d never actually done anything like this. Sure, as a child, she would dress up and Nate would be forced to go trick-or-treating with her. But she’d never been to a party like this. Honestly, she was a bit nervous being dressed up in front of so many people. There was an array of costumes and the girl felt like she stood out a bit in the pink costume she’d purchased online just a few weeks prior. She was comfortable, though, and that’s what mattered most. Furthermore, she was spending the night with one of her best friends, so Malia was sure that she’d have fun no matter what.

Miao doesn't find interest in other people, it’s as simple as that. Miao hasn’t found interest in people in a long time, the only people that interest him is his family. Miao does better off alone, he’s completely fine with being alone. It’s just him and his puffskein always, and Miao is fine with that, however something rare happened today, Miao didn’t bring his puffskein with him. Miao was unsure of it, he always brought Blood (his puffskein) with him everywhere, but today he had gone to an event alone. And even that was weird for Miao, normally he wouldn’t go to events like these, however something had just convinced him to go today.

And now? Now he was utter alone at the costume party, and for the first time in forever he didn’t feel completely fine with being alone, he was… actually feeling lonely? Miao put his arms around his tummy, he was dressed up as the little mermaid. At first the idea seemed good, but now? The more he thought about it, the more shy he got about showing so much body. Suddenly something, actually someone caught Miao’s eye. Miao’s heart skipped a beat, something that didn’t happen often. This person they were… very… pretty? 

Suddenly Miao took a decision, he walked over (or more so jumped over, because his costume wouldn’t completely let him walk) to the person he had found oh so pretty. “Hey!” Miao talked to them, oh no… did he sound too excited?

despite being well-versed with potions, xander truly has no idea on what the vial he's chosen from the dungeon earlier contains. if anything, he's sure that the worst he could get is a truth telling potion. even then, if he figures out that's what he's drank, it'll be easy to hide away from everywhere until the potion wears off. professor jung had said the potion's effects would last for only an hour at most and an hour of hiding wasn't much to sacrifice over xander's privacy.

without as much as a second thought, xander uncorks the small vial and tosses the liquid content into the back of his throat. there's barely a taste at all and he simply wonders if he might grow a third eye. the probability of it seems incredibly unlikely though considering that professor jung doesn't tolerate pranks or jokes so he's sure he doesn't have to worry about it much.

nothing seems to be happening and xander begins to wonder if the side-effects are meant to kick in later. he's sure he'll most likely forget about it until it hits him so he simply turns to head towards the dungeons where some partygoers are already hanging out when he spots mabel walking in his direction.

aside from the fact that xander frequently tutors her, considering that the young suseong freshman has a knack for making things explode, she's one individual that xander goes out of his way to not hurt. seeing as she's dear to cass, xander makes a conscious effort to make sure that the girl can be comfortable studying in his presence - at the least - during their meetings for the sake of maintaining his relationship with cass.

although a cheerful and bright witch, xander has never done much to really initiate extending their relationship past tutor and tutee. however, for some reason when he sees her in that moment, something blooms in him and he's nothing but ecstatic as he suddenly realizes that she is his best friend. upon this realization, he immediately breaks out into one of the biggest smiles ever. an extremely rare sight that even his close friends now and family haven't witnessed before.

"mabel! i feel like i haven't seen you in years." xander calls out cheerfully as he jogs up to her. she looks absolutely adorable in her tinkerbell costume and he can't resist pulling her into a tight hug. the girl is petite and fits snugly against his toned frame, one arm wrapped around her shoulders and the other cradling her head against his chest while he rests his chin on top.

it's only for a brief second though before he pulls back and realizes how exposing the innocent girl's costume really is. immediately, he slips off his black-rose suit jacket and wraps it around her shoulders to protect her from any potential unwanted attention. as her best friend, it was really the least he could do without making her feel self-conscious even though she looked great.

it wasn’t that he didn’t want to go to the party. spencer did, he really did, and he had such a nice time with mabel earlier, that he didn’t mind agreeing to pair a costume with her either. 

it’s just, he had this feeling, this dreadful sort of feeling that this was somehow going to come bite him in the backside. he’s seen plenty of questionable costumes and it makes him worry, makes him wonder if he knows what he signed up for. but then again, this was mabel that they were talking about. she was nice, she was sweet, and she no doubt had a crush on him. 

but that was something spencer could let go. she was a freshman, it was fine. she was just excited. he would let it play out and dwindle away. let. it. go. 

the little things, he could do that for, but that costume. well, that he’s not so sure about. 

that costume that he spots her in, down the corridor in the very spot they had agreed to meet, well. he isn’t too sure he can let that go. 

“hey!” he still puts an extra pep in his tone, at first reaching up to pull into a hug, because that was normal, because they were friends, but he hesitates. glances down, and hesitates. “hey.” spencer repeats. and then he forces himself to meet her eye, smile a little odd. “you look... magical.” 

safe, that was safe.

“oh-- god.” an unoccupied elodie is never a good thing. a bored elodie is dangerous and she’s been left unoccupied for only a few minutes. 

but really, that’s all it takes. 

“what is this?” she’s referring to the other girl’s costume, ogling her with no shame and a hint of disgust. the freshman were just getting bolder and bolder. not that she was one to talk with her bright red playboy bunny costume, a walking sex symbol. 

though, she was fully aware that she was being an absolute hypocrite, but she didn’t really care. “who do you think you’re going to impress with your tits out like that?” it’s posed as an innocent question, but it’s anything but. most people knew elodie’s disposition and habits of picking by now.

 “you look a little desperate, sweetheart..” she snorts, arms crossed over her chest.

It was happening again. Someone or something was leaving candies on his desk again. Kevin could recall the same instances occurring back in his days at Hogwarts, too. Coincidentally, it always happened in classes that he had with miss. Mabel Moon. It was a shame that she always seemed just as concerned over it as he did. Looking back at it now, her face always went a bit red when he’d ask her about it. Eventually he thought that just bringing it up was scaring her, so he just allowed the gifts to keep coming. To this day, neither of them ever got answers as to what was going on— but Kevin never said no to some free candy. 

“Thanks boys.” He'd eventually begun to believe that this was another prank from the bros and felt it was only right to thank them accordingly. 

Unwrapping the candy, the boy ate it immediately, enjoying it with a playful grin. Then, just as he began to into his seat, Kevin looked over to notice a familiar face.

Birds of a feather flock together. The saying couldn’t be more true for the freshmen pair. Upon meeting, the two had immediately hit things off. Being so similar to one another, getting along was just that simple. Not to mention their surname being Moon, it was a common trend within the first week of classes for Malia to come right after Mabel. Furthermore, they’d both managed to land spots on the cheer team, bringing them even closer when considering how much time they spent together in a single school week.
