Imagine Tom on Halloween

[better late then never. Sorry I haven't updated for a while]

Strangly, Tom was away again working, so you'd prepared yourself for another night in. You'd dropped your bags inside and headed straight through to the kitchen, not bothering to turn the lights on as you had no need to. You'd just put the kettle on when you heard a soft thud come from the front room. Cautiously, you stepped in and glanced around the dim room, only to see a cushion on the floor, far away from the sofa. "That's odd", you muttered to yourself, stepping into the room to pick it up. That's when you heard the loud slam come from the front door, before a bang, and all the lights went out in the street, plunging you into further darkness. You rushed towards the front door, but it refused to open, and your keys were no longer in the lock. You were starting to panic a little now as you fumbled in your pocket for your phone, but pulling it out of your pocket so hastily, it slipped through your fingers, and in a loud snap, broke on the floor. The wind had started to pick up outside now, and it started to rumble with thunder making you panic more as you scramble around on the floor, trying to find anything you could use as a torch. You've managed to make your way to the front room, crawling, your breath coming in quick gasps as you try to rack your brains. The large clock struck 11 and made you jump as you tried to navigate around in the dark, your arms waving blindly in front of you. Then you heard the creak of a floorboard and stopped dead, frozen on the spot. It had come from directly in front of you. Your heart pounding in your chest, your mind screaming. A huge crack of lighting filled the sky, and the sudden burst of white light filled in the room. That's when you saw the tall figure of someone stood directly in front of you, before it fell back to darkness as you screamed in terror. Surprisingly, the figure too also screamed, a high pitched scream, as you heard a thud of them falling onto the floor. You'd backed up against the wall, continuing to scream in a blind panic. "Y/N! It's me!", the figure cried alarmed, their voice broken and pitchy as you heard them fumble around and the sudden light of a candle lit their features. The wide alarmed eyes and messed up hair, along with those razor sharp cheeks looked unnatural in the warm glow on the candle in their hands, but it soon calmed you back down. "Tom!", you screamed at him, making him jump a little as he stood there just as startled as you. "What are you doing here!? You scared the living daylights outta me! I thought you were gone for another week?", you rambled at him, your body still shaking over the shock. "I was, but we finished early and I came home. I was just sleeping I didn't know when you'd get back", he croaked weakly, obviously still tired and a little shaken as the candle trembled in his hands. You just felt so overcome and shaken that you just burst into tears, and Tom quickly put his arms around you, cradling you into his chest. "Shh, it's ok. It's alright", he whispered soothingly, stroking your back trying to calm you down. "I-I thought you were an intruder, you scared me", you manage to say, trying to pull yourself together. "You scared me too. I thought you were an intruder", Tom chuckled as you listened to his pounding heart in his chest. Then he started giggling, and infectiously you joined in too, until you were both laughing over the silliness of what had happened. Just then, the clock chimed again, the sky cracked with lightning, and the candle blew out. Both you and Tom stopped dead as you heard a quiet knock at the door, before a quiet, hollow voice whispered "Trick or Treat".
