This is Halloween
“so you’re telling me that everyone dresses up in costumes and gives candy to children?”
“Yes, Killian, and it’s fun.”
“It really is!” Henry piped up, “Last year I went as a Jedi, but this year I’m going as Pikachu.”
“See?” Emma said, “Henry’s dressing up.”
“Are you, Swan?” Killian asked.
“Oh, I have something in mind.” Emma said with a smile.
“Really, Mom?” Henry asked, “’Cause you never dress up! What is it?”
“You’ll find out.” She answered with a very mischievous smirk.
Emma stood in front of the mirror and reviewed her costume one more time. She smiled. Killian was going to love it.
With that thought she headed downstairs to where he and Henry were waiting.
“Really, Mom?” Henry asked when he saw her. “You two are matching?”
“To be fair,” Emma answered, “That wasn’t actually intentional.”
“Whatever. I’m gonna go meet Violet.” Henry said, before running out the door.
“Be good!” Emma called after him, before turning to Killian, who was indeed admiring her costume.
“I must say, Swan, you make a lovely pirate.”
Emma grabbed his collar. “You look rather devilishly handsome, yourself,” She said with a flirtatious smile, before pulling back and mock scolding him, “Although this barely even counts as a costume for you.”
He nuzzled his nose against hers. “Once a pirate, always a pirate, Love.”
She laughed and kissed him, but right as things were heating up the doorbell rang. Even before they answered they could hear a chorus of little voices shouting “Trick or treat!” gleefully.
“Bloody hell,” Killian muttered.
Emma giggled and took his hand and tugged him towards the door. “I’m afraid this is how the rest of our evening is gonna go. Come on, Captain.”
So here’s a Halloween drabble I wrote. It’s super cheesy, but I enjoyed writing it, and hopefully some of you will enjoy reading it.
