“Given any thought to what you’re gonna wear for the squad’s Halloween party?” Dee asked Ryo as they strolled back to their car sipping the hot coffee they’d just bought.

Ryo stopped dead. “I’d completely forgotten about that!”

“Forgotten about Halloween?” Dee knew his partner could be a bit of an airhead, but the shop windows were full of Halloween decorations, candy, and pumpkins. Surely not even Ryo could have missed that.

“No, idiot! I’ve just been so focused on getting Bikky’s costume sorted for Trick or Treating that I forgot I needed a costume for the party.”

“You’re not dressin’ up to take Bikky out?” Usually Ryo did, getting into the spirit of things.

“Bikky’s going with Carol and her aunt this year, hoping people give out better quality candy in the suburbs.”

“Smart kid. Y’know, I haven’t got my costume yet, so why don’t we tour the costume shops after work, see what we can find?”

Ryo nodded. “Okay, sure.”

“Great!”


OoOoO


The costume shop was vast, filled with racks containing a wide range of outfits. It catered solely to adults, meaning many of the costumes were quite saucy.

“You’d look sexy as a French maid,” Dee suggested.

“No way!” Ryo blushed crimson. “Imagine what Ted would say! Not to mention the Chief!”

“Hadn’t thought of that.”

“Good thing one of us is using their brain.”

“You go that way, and I’ll go this way,” Dee said. “Shout out if you find anything.”

Wandering from rack to rack, Ryo came across all the traditional Halloween outfits, along with all manner of period costumes, every superhero he could name, and some he couldn’t. So many to choose from, but nothing felt right. He could be a cowboy, but he and Dee had done that as roleplay. Maybe a highwayman? Or a Samurai? Come to think of it, Dee would look great in that.

Then he saw something and pulled it from the rack, holding it up for a better look. Was he brave enough to wear something so form-fitting?

“Any luck?” Dee asked, coming up behind him.

“I don’t know; what d’you think? Maybe it’s more you than me…” Ryo held up the Harlequin costume.

Dee let out a low whistle. “You’d look amazing in that.”

“It’s kind of tight.” It was a two-piece outfit, a tunic and leggings in a colourful diamond pattern, with a fancy hat and a tiny domino mask.

“Not that tight. The leggings, sure, but the bottom of the tunic should come down far enough that it won’t be too revealing, and after the party…” Dee trailed off with a grin.

It was the look in his lover’s eyes that swayed Ryo. “Okay, I’ll get it. What about you though?”

“I’ve been thinkin’… Aha!” Dee snatched up an outfit, checking the size. “How d’ya think I’ll look as the Green Arrow?” Green was definitely Dee’s color, even the darker shades.

Ryo nodded. “I like it!”

They were really going to turn heads at the party!


The End
