I checked myself in the mirror, doing turns to inspect all angles of my costume. I cantered myself so I was directly facing the mirror again, and started adjusting my gloves and cowl. I looked at the cape that was on my bed and grabbed it, fastening it on my shoulders. I looked in the mirror one more time, then headed out of my room after deciding I looked fine.
I walked down the hall into the living room. Upon entering I see Polnareff, Avdol, Kakyoin, the old man, and Iggy. They were all standing in a group. Their heads turned simultaneously to look in my direction, having heard me enter. Their mouths curved up into a smirk with the exception of Kakyoin staring wide eyed and mouth agape.
"Fashionably late I see," Polnareff commented. I scoffed and made my way towards the group.
"That Batman costume is very fitting." Avdol hummed, looking over my costume.
Polnareff let out a bark of laughter, "That's for damn sure! He is rich and attracts women from miles away, but he is quiet, good at brooding, fights bad stand users, and has gone through a traumatizing experience." he pauses for a second, closing his eyes with a grin, "Although the tin man could've also worked since you both don't seem to have a heart."
The old man bursted out laughing clutching his stomach. Avdol and Kakyoin let out small laughs clearly unable to help themselves. I felt a scowl form on my face as I directed my eyes towards the ceiling.
The old man looked at Polnareff after everyone had calmed down, "Talking about costumes, if I had known we were doing matching costumes for couples I would've brought Suzie Q with me." The shit eating grin was now transferred from Polnareff's face to the old man's.
I watched as Avdol's face turned a dark crimson. Polnareff's face gained its own pinkish tint.
"Even if you had brought her, whatever you would've matched as wouldn't compare to the brilliant costumes Avdol and I came up with... and Iggy is a part of it too." Polnareff snapped back, gesturing down at the dog who is standing in the middle of our little huddle. A small chuckle slipped past my lips as I realized what their costumes were. Avdol and Polnareff were dressed up as members of the ghostbuster's team, and Iggy was in a little ghost costume. I heard the old man give a grunt of disapproval at Polnareff's words.
"Ignore Polnareff, Mr. Joestar. I think your costume looks great." Avdol said quickly, noticing the old man's darkened mood.
"Really!" The old man exclaimed, back to his former happy attitude.
"Yeah, that Terminator costume has to be the best one I've seen, I'm impressed I must say." Polnareff added to Avdol's previous statement. I have to agree with them, the costume fit the old man really well. He was wearing dark black sunglasses, a black leather jacket, black leather pants, a tight black shirt, black boots, and to top it off he had black leather gloves.
Polnareff then turned his attention towards Kakyoin who was standing next to the old man.
"I know we look good, but who the hell are you supposed to be? One of the seven dwarfs?" Polnareff question, quirking his eyebrow. Kakyoin's eyes widened and he jolted back in surprise as if he had been hit.
"I'm Link! You know from The Legend of Zelda?" Kakyoin yelled exasperated.
"Hmm, never heard of it. How about you Jotaro?" Polnareff inquired, stroking his chin thoughtfully. I shrugged in response to the question as Kakyoin was now looking at me expectantly. I've heard people talk about it at school and Kakyoin has mentioned it a couple times, but I don't know what it is.
Aside from me not knowing who Link was, the costume looked like it was made for Kakyoin. His red hair peaked out of his long green hat, his bang dangling in front of his face like usual. He was wearing a green tunic with a brown long sleeved shirt underneath, a brown belt, brown tights, and brown leather boots. The green looked good on him just like his school uniform. When I say his legs looked good in those tights, I mean it.
Polnareff directed his attention back towards Kakyoin, "See? No one knows who you are," he points to Iggy again, "We know what Iggy is, how does it feel for a dog to have a better costume than you?" Kakyoin glared at Polnareff, probably hoping lasers would shoot out of his eyes.
"Well here's a question for you Polnareff, how does it feel to dress your dog in a ghost costume instead of another ghostbuster outfit so he wouldn't outshine you? We all know he would've looked better in the costume than you." Kakyoin retorted, saying Polnareff's name it's venom.
"Why you little cherry fucker-" Polnareff began talking back. That's when I zoned out of the conversation. I don't feel like listening to them go back and forth insulting one another. How did it even get to this? Well, I know the answer.
Avdol, Polnareff, and Iggy are in Japan right now because the Speedwagon Foundation needed their assistance. While the old man is here for his business. Of course, Halloween is occurring while they are staying here. Just my luck they would all be here at the same time, I wouldn't be surprised if there was nothing with the Speedwagon Foundation, or the old man's business.
Every Halloween I usually rent a movie and watch it while mom bakes a bunch of desserts. Unfortunately, this year mom and dad got invited to a party by one of my dad's colleagues. They attended dressed as Sandy and Danny from Grease. This is when the old man proposed the idea that we all get dressed up and go trick or treating.
Naturally, I was the last one informed of this plan. By then everyone already had their costumes. I bought my own after remembering Kakyoin mentioning how cool he thought Batman was when reading one of the comics. That's what lead to all of us being dressed up in my living room at night, getting ready to go as people for free candy.
I started paying attention to the conversation that was going one when I saw Avdol separating Kakyoin and Polnareff with Magician's Red, once they both had taken their stands out.
"I think we've been in this room together long enough, let's head out shall we?" Avdol suggested, giving Polnareff a look.
"Great idea Avdol, let's go get some candy!" The old man bellowed, pumping a fist into the air as he walked out of the living room and down the hall. We all followed suit making our way outside. Once we stepped foot on the stone path that lead to the house outside I paused.
"Aren't we too old to be doing this? I don't think they are going to give grown adults candy." I deadpanned. I watched as the rest of the group froze.
"You really think we didn't think this through first Jotaro?" Kakyoin questioned. I gave him a confused look, my brows furrowing beneath the cowl I was wearing.
Polnareff spoke up, "We have come up with the perfect strategy."
Avdol clicked his tongue, "We figured that we each have qualities that can be used to get candy from adults."
"What are the qualities?" I asked, sceptical of the mischievous mood that had descended over the group.
"Well to start, Iggy is a dog, and no one can refuse cute dogs especially if they are holding a candy bag." the old man explained, "Next is Kakyoin, he may be older but his gentle smile, and his innocent and proper way of approaching people will definitely get him candy. After him is Polnareff and Avdol, they can use the fact that they don't understand Japanese to act confused and be given candy out of pity from miscommunication."
The old man took a breath then continued, "Now we have you Jotaro, your face and physique are intimidating enough without the Batman costume to enhance it, so people will hand over candy in fear of getting beat up. And finally there's me, I can use my old age to pretend to be senile and reminisce about when I was a little boy and I would get candy then, ask them for it. Tricking people into giving us candy is the goal." he finished smiling triumphantly. Kakyoin and Polnareff were nodding their heads, looking just as content as the old geezer.
Avdol cleared his throat then spoke up, "I'm not exactly proud of this plan since we are robbing them, but it is free candy. And this will be my first time doing this sort of thing, it seems quite fun." A large gasp was heard, we all looked towards a Polnareff since it came from his direction.
"Mon dieu! Are you telling me you've never gone trick or treating?" He said, horrified.
"Mhm," Avdol nods his head thoughtfully.
"Well than what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Polnareff shouts.
From that point on, the night became hectic.
The old man's sob stories, reminiscing, and exaggerated elderly voice fooled people into giving him candy with sad heart wrenching expressions. The people who unfortunately got Avdol and Polnareff knocking on their door would end up freaking out and frantically giving them candy when they would speak French instead of English so they made sure they couldn't be understood. Iggy ended up getting a lot of 'awws' and candy from the people he visited, except for the rare occasion that he would attack their legs if they didn't give him anything, or attack their cat if they had one. Kakyoin was complimented by every house owner for his manners, and somehow made them flustered every time. I ended up scaring people so badly that they just handed over all the candy they had.
We were now back at the house, sorting through our candy with a horror movie on in the background. Kakyoin, and I sat on the floor, the old man, Polnareff, and Avdol shared the couch behind us, and Iggy took the chair that was next to the couch.
"I can't get over how many kids asked you for you autograph thinking you were the really Batman." Kakyoin laughed. "I mean I can understand why, you are muscular just like him and with that cowl you can't see your face." I clicked my tongue in response. "If you look this good in a Batman costume then I want to see you dressed up in a suit like Bruce Wayne, now that would be a sight for sore eyes." Kakyoin spoke, his eyes widening a second after he realized what he had said. I watched as his face went through multiple shades of red, mine following suit.
"Well on the topic of good looking, I didn't know you were so popular with elderly women Nori." I teased, my blush starting to fade away. He hit me in the chest, then tilted his head upwards his nose in the air.
"I'm just too charming." he said, half joking.
Polnareff snorted from behind me on the couch, "I thought they kept calling you adorable and cute, not charming." Kakyoin snapped his head at Polnareff glaring at him once again. The bastard stuck his tongue out in response.
"Can you two stop bickering for two seconds? I want to trade candy." Avdol sighed.
"This is my favourite part! Hand over all of your KitKats please." Polnareff demanded.
"Not so fast Polnareff, I won't hand over my KitKats until you start handing over your Snickers." the old man retorted.
"Not a problem for me," Polnareff nonchalantly stated, gathering together all his snickers while the old man gathered all of his KitKats.
"Before you guys start that, take all of Iggy's chocolate away and give him any candy you have that doesn't have chocolate in it. Especially his Coffee Crisps, he can't eat chocolate." Avdol announced, causing Polnareff and the old man to halt what they were doing.
Kakyoin spoke up, "Give him all of them except your Nerds and cherry lolipops, give those to me instead." We all nodded than started sorting through what we were giving to Iggy.
"I can't say I'm surprised you like Nerds Kakyoin, you are what you eat." Polnareff commented.
"I guess you liking KitKats fits then, I recall you screaming like a little bitch a couple minutes ago thanks to a jump scare from the movie. Scaredy-cat." Kakyoin spat back slyly. Hearing Kakyoin swear is something I don't think I'll ever get used to. He only ever does when talking with Polnareff or if he is really frustrated about something. There is something about the normally reserved and polite Kakyoin cursing that turns me on, not that I'd ever admit that out loud though.
Polnareff let out a 'humph' before returning to sorting his candy. Kakyoin sat there smirking at his win. After we took all of Iggy's chocolate, replaced it with our own candy and gave Kakyoin his Nerds and cherry lolipops, we returned to trading.
"I'll take your Reese's Peanut Butter Cups." Avdol said, smiling at the piles of chocolate that laid in front of us.
"No objections here, but if you have M&M's I'll take those too." Polnareff stated.
"While you're going through give me your Mars Bars and Twix." I said, while continuing to look through my pile of candy.
"That reminds me! Give me any Bounty bars you guys got too." The old man gruffed. We all hummed in agreement.
A couple minutes later we all had he chocolate we wanted. There had been a fight over the 100 Grand chocolate bars but we ended up splitting them evenly between us. I made sure to collect Hershey bars for my mom as well since they are her favourite. We were now eating the baked goods my mom had made while watching the movie.
**Time skip brought to you by Halloween**
The movie was now over and everyone on the couch had passed out. Kakyoin and I at one point during the movie Kakyoin ended up wrapping himself up in my cape with me. He was now leaning against my should snoring softly. I looked down at him, a faint smile tugging at my lips.
Before I could control myself, I brushed his hair off his forehead and gave it a light kiss. My lips felt so good on his skin, I was tempted to let them linger there for a moment longer but that would've been too much. I reeled back. I let out a long sigh and let my head fall all the way back.
I was met with three pairs of eyes staring at me. I quickly shot my head back up, turning around to see Polnareff, the old man, and Avdol all smirking at me.
"Looks like Batman isn't man enough to kiss someone when they are conscious." Polnareff said, in mock disappointment.
"Leave him alone Jean, I think it's cute." Avdol commented, his smirk turning into something warmer as he glanced at a Polnareff. The French man's face lit up slightly.
"I'm with Polnareff on this one, that's pretty pathetic grandson. Be a man!" the old man grunted, clenching his fist in the air and shaking it.
"You guys... are idiots." I bluntly stated, before leaning on Kakyoin's head and drifting to sleep.
