Title: Oh, What a Night
Rating: PG
Notes: Mainly inspired by my not-being-able to dress up for Halloween as Mirotic!Yunho and my love for SMTOWN
Summary: Yunho just wanted to plan a fun Halloween night with Changmin.
Halloween. For one night a year, people, young and old, dress up as something completely different from their normal selves and take on a whole new persona. It usually is a fun night for all, especially for the younger ones who collect massive amounts of candy from trick or treating and the older ones who go party and get drunk off their asses for no real reason.
Also, because of Halloween, Changmin and Yunho were, unfortunately, running for their lives down the streets of Seoul to get away from a rabid group of fangirls pursuing them.
“How did you convince me to do this?! Dressing up as each other? At least everyone else knew to dress up in, oh, I don’t know, NORMAL costumes! Even Heechul dressed up normally!” Changmin screams whispers to Yunho as the older man pulls him down a random alley.
“Yeah well, sorry for thinking that it would be nice and creative as a couple costume!” Yunho retorts with a quick glare back at Changmin before exiting the alleyway and dragging the younger man towards another darker alley. “Oh and just for the record,” he continues as he walks down the new alley, looking around for a possible hiding spot even though he couldn’t hear the fangirls anymore, “Heechul dressed up as Sunny, okay. Not normal.”
But Changmin just snorts in reply. “Even if he dressed up as CL or some other girl, he still dressed up like a girl. Therefore, it was normal.”
Yunho stops to turn and frow at Changmin, who smiles and makes a victory sign with his fingers. Not trusting that they had lost the fangirls for good, Yunho decides that the random dumpster in the middle of the alley is a good enough hiding spot and plops down on the ground behind it, purple-gloved hands coming up to cover his face. He feels Changmin sit down next to him and sighs.
What a night.

All Yunho wanted was a nice, fun night with Changmin, since they hadn’t had much time together lately, and when he received the invitation for Heechul’s annual Halloween party, it had seemed like the best idea. Though looking back at that now, that might have been his first mistake.
Changmin hadn’t even wanted to go to the party at first, wanting to instead spend a night on the couch with a bowl of candy corn and caramel popcorn watching a couple horror movies (that they would never actually watch because they would end up making out on the couch instead), but Yunho had been determined and finally convinced him with promises of lots of alcohol and dancing and did he mention the alcohol?
But convincing Changmin to go was actually the smallest of his problems, the biggest one being him getting Changmin to even wear a costume. Throughout the years, Yunho had always gotten an invitation to Heechul’s party but never went, always having a schedule or some prior commitment in the night of the party, but he heard all the gossip and rumors about what went on each year, particularly the ones pertaining to those that didn’t wear a costume. However, even when Yunho explained that he never wanted to see Changmin dressed in full out drag complete with platform boots, the younger still refused and dared Heechul to try and get him to wear platform boots. So of course, Yunho had to resort to desperate measures.
“Okay, well. Fine. Don’t wear one.” Yunho had told him over dinner the week before the party. “I won’t force you to do something you don’t want to do…”
“Really now?” Changmin replied suspiciously, “So you’re telling me that after over a week of fighting me on this, you’re just giving up?”
“Yep. You obviously don’t want to do it, so I’m not going to force you,” Yunho said as he pushed around the food on his plate before going in for the kill. “It’s just a bummer that I have to change my costume now because it wouldn’t be as effective…” He sighed dramatically and glanced up to see Changmin staring at him with a confused look on his face.
“What do you mean? It won’t be as effective?”
“Well, I was kind of hoping to go dressed up as you from one of our old music videos and that you would go dressed up as me, kind of like a couple costume of sorts…” Yunho explained with a small pout and he held in his grin as he saw Changmin’s resolve begin to crumble.
“Couple…costume?” Changmin asked with a slight blush on his face.
“Yeah, but now I can’t do that since you don’t want to wear a costume, so now I have to think of something else to wear,” Yunho shrugged and pushed away from the table to put his plate in the sink. After doing so, he turned back around to the still blushing Changmin and pointed toward the hallway. “I’m going to go research other costume ideas in my room, call if you need me!”
Changmin gave a slight nod and Yunho left their kitchen for his room. As soon as Yunho entered his room, he held out his right hand and slowly started putting down his fingers. Just as his thumb was about to go down, Changmin walked into his room, a determined look on his face.
“I’ll only do it if I get to pick what I wear and only if you DON’T wear my costume from Balloons, which I think you were planning because I saw plush antlers the other day in the bathroom.” Changmin stated and then walked right back out of Yunho’s room.
Yunho couldn’t hold back his grin.

The day of the party finally came and Yunho was excited. He and Changmin had agreed not to reveal what their costumes were until they were ready to go to the party and Yunho was looking forward to what Changmin was going to look like.
He had had a slight setback in his costume planning (slightly cursing Changmin finding part of his Balloons costume), but had finally decided on dressing as Changmin from their ‘Purple Line’ music video. There was just something about the black, form-fitted suit with the accents of purple and the royal purple gloves that Changmin wore in it that turned Yunho on so much. He only hoped that he had the same effect on the younger in the same clothes.
Yunho didn’t have any idea what Changmin planned to wear, all his snooping failing because the younger was too good at hiding things, but Yunho wouldn’t have been prepared for what Changmin was wearing whether he knew or not.
Changmin decided to dress up as Yunho from their Mirotic video, in a loose, yet fitted Mechanic’s suit that was open half way, exposing half his chest and the thin, silver chain that swung back and forth across his chest and under the fabric as he walked. The younger had even gone far enough to paint an intricate tattoo on the side of his neck and a small mole above the left side of his upper lip.
Yunho was left speechless and Changmin had actually been the one to drag him out of their apartment and to the party.

The party itself was actually pretty fun. Heechul knew how to throw a good party and somehow had an unlimited supply of alcohol, so everyone was pleasantly buzzed within the first hour, which made everyone seem less awkward around each other and helped turn a blind eye to a drunken Taemin who cried about his jealousy of Jonghyun getting some ass while he hadn’t ever had a girlfriend.
Surprisingly, their costumes were the hit of the party and despite a few comments about them being slightly egotistical (“I mean, really,” BoA had told Yunho, “Who dresses up as another member of their group, their boyfriend even?”), everyone seemed to like them and Yunho enjoyed watching Changmin soak up the compliments he got, even if he knew everyone was just staring at Changmin’s defined chest. But he said nothing because Changmin held his hand the entire time while he whispered random dirty things in Yunho’s ear every now and then about what he wanted to with those purple gloves later and that automatically made up for everything.

Two hours and a dozen drinks later, Yunho had had enough of Changmin’s teasing and told everyone that they were leaving early because he had a photo shoot tomorrow(which was the truth, even if it wasn’t until the last afternoon), but everyone was more focused on how Sunny was currently beating Kyuhyun in an arm wrestling contest to care.
It wasn’t until they were outside waiting for a taxi, however, that Yunho got a text from Leeteuk warning them about a group of stalker fans who had caught wind of the party were outside the dorms. And of course, as soon as he showed Changmin the text and looked over, there was the said group of girls standing a ways in front of them.
“Is that….Changmin and Yunho?” Yunho heard of them ask.
“Oh.My.God. I think it is and oh.My.GOD. ARE THEY DRESSED AS EACH OTHER?! OHMYGOD THEY MUST BE TOGETHER!!!”” Another one shrieked and Yunho looked at Changmin, who looked back in fear, and knew they were screwed.
So they did the first thing they thought of. They ran.

Which brings me here to this alley, Yunho thinks, mind finally back in the present and registering Changmin’s arms around his shoulders and hand running up and down his arm. He leans more into Changmin’s embrace and Changmin hums in response.
“Finally done sorting through your thoughts?”
“Mmm yeah. Just thinking about how we got here and how our nice night and mood was ruined by stalker fans” Yunho mumbles as he glances around the edge of the dumpster. “Think we’re okay to go now?”
“We should be, I heard them walk by over 15 minutes ago, so we should be okay” Changmin says as he stands up and offers a hand out to help Yunho up. “Also, I would like to state that there is still a bowl of uneaten candy corn and caramel popcorn in our apartment and that it is only a little past midnight.”
Yunho forces out a laugh and shakes his head at Changmin. "Are you trying to insinuate something, Changmin?" he asks as he grabs Changmin's hand to stand up.
"Do I also need to point out that I'm a man of my word and that I promised a few things involving a certain pair of purple gloves and- why exactly are you fighting me on this?"
Yunho laughs again and wraps his arms around Changmin's waist. "No reason." His hands then sneak into the back pockets of Changmin's costume and cop a feel. "Thank you for dressing all sexy as me, I dare say my mole looks better on you than myself~"
"Yeah yeah, home now, compliments later during sex, yes, okay? Okay." Changmin responds as he pulls Yunho's hands out of his pockets and leads Yunho out of the alley and home.
