Pineapple Juice

You glance out the window at the fall sky, riddled with flowing leaves and a crisp wind. “because it’s barely 2 o’clock, Kurt.” You snicker and walk past him, pinching his cheek. “You look handsome as a vampire.”

Kurt raises his brow romantically, sliding into your shoulder, “Well these teeth are authentic, so if you ever want me to take a nibble…” Kurt softly dives into the crook of your neck. “Ahh! Kurt! That tickles!” you playfully push him away, “Well I’ve got a few hours before I need to get dressed, why don’t you go scare the younger students.”

“Vat a goot idea!” He dramatically whisks his cape around his shoulders and disappears in a puff of smoke. You chuckle and spend most of the day helping the younger students with their costumes. Many of them were hand made to save on money. You helped Bobby with his Abominable Snowman costume which mostly consisted of him creating an ice monster mold around his body and some patches of carefully placed fur. Kitty asked you to do her hair and make up for her Wednesday Adams costume and hide the fact that she “borrowed” Rogues goth outfit for the night. Angel went as… well…. An angel, you were happy to help him get his halo on right. Now it was your turn.

You slipped on the simple blue collared shirt with a white sweater pullover, blue jeans and put your hair up to mimic a familiar, cartoonish, blonde proofed up hairdo. Your favorite part was putting on the trademark orange ascot. You transformed perfectly into your own adaptation of Fred Jones from Scooby Doo, Kurt’s favorite TV series.

You looked in the mirror and giggle at the retro style costume.

“Y/N! You ready?!” Kurt’s normal voice bleeds through the door. You rush to gather your things and close your balcony door, effortlessly decorated in dead rose vines. Kurt pushes the door slightly open, its creaking making him slow his pace into your room. “Y/N?”

“Jeekies!” You yell, jumping out from behind the door. “hahah!” Kurt laughs eying you over, “technically that’s Velma’s phrase.”

“Oops.”

“Other than that, you look so cute! Maybe I could have been Scooby! Maybe next year.” Kurt kiss your forehead and rushes you out the door.

“Let us go through! Before it gets packed!”

The two of you arrive at a slightly crowed pumpkin patch. Humans and mutants both enjoying themselves. You don’t think either of the parties can tell who’s who. “Hey man! Nice Nightcrawler costume!” A boy passes the two of you high fiving Kurt. “Huh…” Kurt sighs. You look at him ready to place a comforting hand on him. “I’ve got two cool costumes then!” He gleefully laughs holding your arm in his.

Halloween always made Kurt happy, especially when he could spend festive activities with you. The two of you walk in the rows, examining every pumpkin and brainstorming fun carvings.

“I like this one.” You grin picking up a small plump pumpkin by the stem. “It suits you, love. Here let me carry it for you.” Kurt scoops it up in his arms. You smile at his chivalry and search for one that he might like.

“Ah.” Kurt stops. “This is the one.”

You circle around him and your eyes shoot wide open. There in the middle of a row was the biggest pumpkin of the entire batch. On it was a blue ribbon with an illuminating yellow number 1. “Beautiful, isn’t she?” a cranky female voice said from behind the pumpkin. “She weighs a whopping 2,000 lbs. Second only to the largest pumpkin in the world. Don’t get too close, now. Can’t fool me, I can smell your mutant stench from here.” An old farmer woman dressed in a witch’s costume narrated as the you and Kurt look at the orange beast.  

You clench your fists at her comment, but Kurt only asks coyly,

“So, it’s for take?”

“HA! Tell you what, mutant. You can have it,”

“Yes!-”

“EEH! IF you can lift her yourself. I know you ‘nightcrawler’ you can teleport, but can you lift a 2,000 lb-er?” The woman finishes with a witchy smile on her face. Kurt returns the devilish smile, “Oh no! I cannot possible lift this giant pumpkin!” He dramatically holds your tiny pumpkin close to his chest, turning to you with puppy eyes, pouting his lower lip. You sigh and walk up to the prejudice famer witch. “So, if I lift this, I can take it?”

“Heck, you might want to fill out the shirt more first!”

“Yes or no?” you ask again, firmly.

“Oh gosh string bean, if you can it’s all yours.” She says skeptical and laughing at your small physique. You nod slowly and look at the 2,000 lb pumpkin. “Just checking.”

Kurt’s face lights up as you effortlessly lift the pumpkin with one hand over your head. The farmer’s jaw drops with babbling words falling out along with her fake rotten teeth accessory.

You walk off to the exit with Kurt, but turn around and look at the farmer, “Happy Halloween.”

 Bonus:

You and Kurt are on the X- mansion porch carving your pumpkins. “Done!” you exclaim and turn the pumpkin to Kurt. A classic pumpkin smiley face is illuminated by a candle. Kurt doesn’t move from behind his giant pumpkin. You press your lips together in a frown, “Kurt?... What are you carving over there?”

“Wait!” he drags out as you hear more chopping. You look around at all the pumpkin goop on the ground and laugh as Kurt comes out, covered in pumpkin seeds. “Ready?”

“Mhmm.”

Kurt pushes the pumpkin around with his entire body, “Tada!”

The air is sucked out of you as you lay your eyes on his masterpiece. An arm wraps around you and your head receives a kiss, “do you like it?”

You examine the giant, illuminated carving of you holding up a pumpkin like a hero. You sigh and rest your head on Kurt’s chest,
