(A/N: Sorry if these paragraphs seem shorter than others, I had my window on half screen whilst I watched HyperRPG's 10 Candles series lol, but the actual chapter is SUPER long compared to my others and it's only part one of two so BUCKLE UP KIDS.)
-
On Halloween night, Tom's home was bustling with people- and it wasn't even where the party was being held. Amongst not only the members of his mob, including Harrison and the twins, were handfuls upon handfuls of makeup artists and costume designers, every one of them rushing around with some kind of carry case or garment bag.
Nikki and Dom's Halloween Bash was always one of the biggest casual events of the year, and mob members from all around the world came to attend. The Holland family were highly respected by the majority, and a few lucky families always came out with an award winning deal with the Holland mob.
No two costumes were ever the same, as months of meticulous planning went into the event, and in turn - Nikki went through months worth of bottles of wine handling it all by herself (with the exception of Paddy, of course.) Dom wasn't the planning type, as Nikki had figured out when she was welcomed into the Holland family and had to plan their wedding without him.
Tom was perched on a stool at the breakfast bar, watching everybody else run around in pure havoc. Time was running out quickly, and he still hadn't seen anyone else apart from some other lower members of his mob. He was starting to worry, more than he already was, he was still concerned about seeing Dom again after what happened at dinner - and now he was worried about showing up a bit too late to be called fashionable.
As for Tom's costume, Nikki had picked out the ever-sarcastic space captain Peter Quill, Tom quite liked the thought of being called Star-Lord and he wondered if in an alternate universe that's who he'd be. Costume complete with gun holster and gun, and signature mask hung on one side of his belt - and of course the iconic cassette player, hung on the other side of his belt, Tom felt beyond cool right now.
Nikki hadn't told him about any other costumes, including Harrison, the twins, and even Y/N. He was curious to see what they all appeared in, and most of all if him and Y/N would match. He had no doubt they would, because Nikki was incredibly thorough like that, but Tom couldn't help but sit and get lost in his thoughts about it.
Harrison was the first to appear, and Tom let out a hearty laugh as his trench coat drifted across the steps as he descended. "Ohh, Bleecker Street Magician, huh?" Tom chuckled, his eyes wrinkling in amusement. "It's Doctor Strange to you, Quill." Harrison quipped, raising an eyebrow in fake disdain.
Harrison looked incredible too, there was no doubt that Nikki had spent a fortune getting all of these costumes hand made for each person. From the trench coat that fit him perfectly to the pendant holding the glowing Time Stone on his chest - Tom wondered if Nikki had jumped into the Marvel Universe and stolen the actual Time Stone herself, with the way it was pulsating in its glow. It looked way too real to just be a little light inside the pendant.
"Your mum is incredible with this stuff man, she amazes me more every single year. How the fuck does she manage it?" Harrison scoffed, giving Tom a twirl, watching him shrug, before hopping onto the stool beside him, being careful not to sit on his coat - and it was at this point that Tom realised the makeup artists had given Harrison a little fake beard (with Harrison being unable to grow a proper one himself); making Tom laugh harder.
Next to appear was the twins, because of course they were. Of course he had to wait till last to see Y/N, but when Tom and Harrisons eyes honed in on their costumes, they let out a cackle, leaning into each other in pure hilarity.
