Halloween Treats (Closed to Aaron Corbet)

[parisprincetroy]

Paris' birthday was approaching and he could not fail but notice all the--interesting--decorations around town. It seemed his birthday coincided with some festival. He would have to ask Aaron about it when the angel arrived.

For now Paris waited for Aaron with a small smile as he slowly sipped the delicious hot cider.

Aaron was still giving thoughts to what he might do for a costume when he arrived to meet Paris. Just doing his wings and maybe a prop halo was an obvious thing, though the Nephilim was tempted to wear a devil costume. Dear old damned Dad would likely have been amused.

For the time being, though, it was just jeans and a flannel shirt. Spotting Paris, Aaron made his way over.

"Hey, how's it going?" He smiled.

Paris greeted Aaron with a warm hug and smile, "I am well, have you tried this apple cider drink? It's amazing." He pointed to the cup. "What is this Halloween celebration about? Why are people getting...costumes? Is that the word? Do we need to dress up for the party?"

[gobacktoheaven]

"It's traditional in some cultures, yeah." Aaron confirmed. "Halloween is a winter festival - I think it used to be the end of the year on some calendars."

"It's mostly for children, at least in my time, but a lot of adults like to wear costumes as well."

He got a cup of the cider for himself, sipping it. "Yeah, this is pretty good stuff."

The Nephilim had been about to ask Paris as to whether or not the Trojan had apples, before remembering the whole 'Apple of Discord' thing.

[parisprincetroy]

"I've had a type of ale made from apples but nothing like this. I had no idea apples could be used to make this drink, it's amazing." Paris took another sip of the near empty cup. He looked over the rim at the beautiful Nephilm.

"Will you go in costume?" Paris asked with a flirty tone. "I was considering going in one...but what to go as?" He pondered out loud, tapping his finger on his chin.

[gobacktoheaven]

"I haven't decided." Aaron admitted. "I could just go as an angel, but that's kind of boring." He chuckled.

"Some people try to dress as something scary, but not everyone. I could go as a vampire, but that might scandalize Stefan."

Though Aaron was pretty sure that Damon would be in favor of scandalizing his goody-goody brother.

[parisprincetroy]

"If you go as an angel, I could go as a devil." Paris grinned playfully. "I'm not sure I'd want to go as a vampire..." He mused, twisting his mouth a bit.

"Or I can go as something else if you don't wish to 'match'." Paris threw out some suggestions. "There's warlock, medieval knight, or I could wear my Trojan armor and call it a day."

[gobacktoheaven]

"I should go as a devil, just to mix it up." Aaron suggested. "You could go as an angel." He grinned. "You'd look good in white."

[parisprincetroy]

"Ooo, I like that idea. Help me pick something out for my angel costume?" Paris flirted, his finger tracing down the front of Aaron's chest coyly.

[gobacktoheaven]

"Yes, we'll have to get you looking all sweet and innocent." Aaron chuckled. "And I'll have to be sinister and corrupt."

[parisprincetroy]

"What? I don't look sweet and innocent?" Paris laughed softly. "And I can think of a few ways to corrupt you." He motioned for them to leave the cafe and head toward the costume store.

[gobacktoheaven]

"I think you could be convincing as innocent." Aaron said, smiling as they exited.

[parisprincetroy]

"Charmer," Paris laughed softly as he made his way down the street. "So if you go as a devil, what kind will you go as? The barely dressed one or the full costume one?" He wiggled his eyebrows.

[gobacktoheaven]

"Why do I get the feeling you'd prefer 'barely dressed'?" Aaron grinned.

[parisprincetroy]

Paris just gave his friend a very coy smile. "Is it my fault that he goddess Aphrodite has blessed me with admiring beauty?"

He opened the door to the costume store and was grateful that it wasn't too crowded. "How about you? Would you like a sexy angel or regular angel?" Paris made his way toward the angel costumes.

His finger trailed across the faux feathers of the attachable white wings. "I like these."

[gobacktoheaven]

"Oh, I'm all about the sexy angel." The Nephilim chuckled. "On the other hand, we don't want to end up getting arrested for indecent exposure."

[parisprincetroy]

Paris laughed lightly, "Very well, let's take a look at the costumes, then." He lifted the wings off the rack and held them in one hand. "They aren't as beautiful as yours, but rarely is imitation a good substitute for the real thing." Paris walked down the aisle searching for angel costumes.
They had sexy ones, traditional, and goth. "Which one do you like, Aaron?"
