Just a little something for October :]]

════ ❀•°❀°•❀ ════

Autumn soon hit, leaves turning to the warm color of orange, some fall of of the twigs above the tress cause of the wind. It was quite chilly outside, with the wind blowing by quicker but not heavier, it is quite a season to enjoy after enjoying in a hot summer.

It's also the season when the days get shorter and colder, and everything turns brown and drab, but some Steves like it anyway, for the cocoa and cider, probably. Especially Time, he enjoys the autumn season more than anyone could see to him. Everyone could compare, most likely Time is the type to like this kind of season, it suits him for his style.

Speaking of Time, he was on his way back to the cottage house, blue scarf covered his neck as it matches along with his brown coat for the season. He carried home some new books, and some new food to cook that would probably last the next 2 weeks, well as long as he knows what he cooks doesn't need a lot to put in.

The sound of his boots crunching the reddish leaves beneath him was somewhat satisfying. He felt like he was young kid, who would run around the place and have fun, and would jump on the pile of leaves for fun. Of course, he didn't do that, but he would imagine it being fun anyways. 

He managed to reach at the house, opening the door, unlocked. That was a sign that he took that Sabre was home. " Sabre, I'm back! " Time called out as he entered the household, closing the door behind him as he took off his scarf and hanged it on the coat stand. He looked around for Sabre, not in the living room, and he heard some drawers closing in the kitchen.

' Sabre must be in the kitchen. ' Time thought, he sets down his books on the nearby drawer and placed it on top, and made his way over to the kitchen. The first thing he saw was some pumpkins over at the dining table, and some parts of the pumpkin there, it looks like it was carved with a knife, but none of the pumpkins were carved yet.

Just as Time turned around, all he could process that someone with a big head was close and next to him. 

" AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!! " Time screamed as loud and high pitched he can possibly go, he raised his hand and smacked the big head and it was enough to make the person fall down the floor on their butt.

" GAH! TIME ITS ME! " A familiar voice spoke out of the person, which Time processed that it was a pumpkin head. And after that the person took off the pumpkin of their head and revealed it was the brunette himself. " It's just me Sabre! I didn't mean to scare you out of nowhere! " Sabre put down the pumpkin beside him and waved his hand above to Time, thinking that he would be smacked again.

Thank Origin Time didn't, but he did yell at Sabre about it. " Jeez! Don't sneak up on me like that. You are lucky that I wasn't holding a sword or I would've slice your head off. " Time helped his friend up to his feet, pulling by his hand and pulled him up. Time smacked the back of Sabre's head lightly and crossed his arms after that.

" Ow! I didn't mean to sneak up on you Time, the pumpkin wasn't fully carved yet so I couldn't see that I was walking to you. "

Time looked at Sabre confusingly, watched him picked up the pumpkin on the floor up and held it on his hands. The bottom part was carved, it was also empty inside, he guessed that's why there was some pumpkin carvings on the dining table. But, Time had a question in mind after that.

" What's with the pumpkins? "

" Hm? Oh, uh, well.... " Sabre thought for just a second, knowing that Time never knew what's the occasion he was planning to do with the pumpkins, but he decided to tell. " Well its a special holiday or so, tradition that goes on in my world. " Sabre sets down the carved pumpkin on the table, he grabbed the knife nearby the table and motions it to the pumpkin he held, then he started to carve.

" The tradition is called Halloween, to sum it all up, pretty much a tradition of scary things or all. Some Halloween traditions include carnivals of fun games, some have competitions like, the world biggest pumpkin! " Time seemed to be intrigued with what Sabre was explaining, he pulled one of the chairs back and sat on it as he listened to Sabre a bit more. " Its also nice for kids when its night time, they have this little tradition called "Trick-or-Treat". It's basically where kids gets to dressed up as scary monsters and go to people's house and say the word trick-or-treat for some candy. "

" Why was it named "Trick-or-Treat" if its some kids asking for some candy? "

" Well that's where the word trick comes around. If there's a certain house that the owner doesn't give you any candy, they would maybe trash the house, mostly cover the yard with toilet paper and such. "

" Oh, well that's certainly something.... "

" Haha, yeah, I missed doing that sometimes, its fun. " Sabre chuckled a bit, memories of his childhood days came around, him and his friends pulling pranks on his neighbors, such good times, young days. " But other than that, its also a tradition to carve some Jack-o-lanterns, which what I'm making right now, but I still need to carve it's face. "

Sabre turned the pumpkin to Time, 2 medium length holes were already carved, it wasn't the perfect circle but it can work. " It's just missing a mouth. " then Sabre went back to carving the vegetable once again.

Time sat for a minute before he spoke up again. " I don't wanna ask this in a rude way but, why are you doing this? "

Sabre stopped for a second after he heard Time, he expected the question, didn't think he would brought it up now. The brunetter sighed and went back to carving slowly. " It reminds me of home, how my family would make Jack-o-lanterns like its their talent. " He pulled out the kife after he was done, setting it down on the table as he reached his hand in the pumpkin to grab the carvings out.

" Sometimes my dad would bring home some pumpkins for us to carve them, make silly or scary faces when Halloween comes by. Its silly really, but its fun. " Sabre softly smiled as he said that, he reached over to th cutted stemof the pumpkin and placed it ontop to cover the hole part. He faced the fromt over to Time, it was a goofy smile, Time thought. " I guess I just wanted to do this cause, I miss them. Its been 2 years since I've been gone and, yeah. "

Silence filled in the room for a bit, Sabre shook his head out of his saddned phase. " Woah, uhm, sorry I didn't mean to go all sad there uhm- "

" What, no its fine its just... " Time was slightly stunned for a bit, he almost forgotten that Sabre never belonged in this world, and never thought about his family before. Now he regrets asking that question.

Sabre hummed at that, he seemed to know what Time was meaning to reply back. " It's fine Time, you were curious. "

" Would I make it up to you if I help you with carving the pumpkins? You can teach me about carving a face on it. "

The brunetter smiled from that, " Sure, that would be nice. "
