How To Save A Life (JSHK/TBHK)

chapter 5

30 minutes until the party!!
Nene knows she should be excited about this but the thought of something going wrong terrifies her to the point where she can't even think straight. And now her friends are starting to catch on which isn't good at all...

Opening her closet Nene wonders if she should dress up in a certain theme or just go in normal clothes-
Hmmm

...

"Teru-nii!!!" Kou whines in his werewolf costume running around with a broom and sweeping the house like crazy.
"Help me clean up they're coming over soon!!"

Chuckling his older brother, Teru shakes his head
"Kou calm down, I'm pretty sure you've cleaned this floor at least 10 times"

"I can see the sparklies nii-chan!!" Tiara squeaks excitedly

Their house is relatively big with fake loosely spiders hanging from the ceiling and other Halloween decorations around the house which Tiara likes to brag how she set up most of them herself

20 minutes pass and the ring from the doorbell is heard making Kou's face immediately lights up
"They're here!"

Opening the door he's greeted by the tsundere standing outside as the moon leaves a soft glisten of light upon his face

Though for some reason looks pissed off?? Kou can't tell why yet
"Hey Mitsub-" Before Kou can even finish his sentence Mitsuba already screeching at him with his

"YOU IDIOT!!! Do you know how c-c-cold it is out there?! I almost froze to death cuz of you!" He whines swinging his scarf over his face dramatically

He was waiting outside his house 10 seconds top, this boy was way too extra
Still, grinning excitedly Kou opens the door wider to let the other boy in.
"It's nice seeing you too Mitsuba-kun!!"

"Hmph!!"

"By the way, what're you dressed up as?" Kou asks curiously

"A cute ghost boy!"
Of course.

A couple more minutes pass and one by one the teens arrive at the Minamoto household. Well everyone but Amane but Nene's sure it was just a simple delay, nothing to be too worried about!

She's decided as embarrassing as it may sound to wear her scale themed dress to substitute for not having a proper costume

She figures she's too old to be dressing up for Halloween but they came here to have fun tonight so she shouldn't worry about things like that right now.

"Thanks for inviting us over, Kou-kun," Nene says flopping herself onto one of the chairs and almost immediately the doorbell is heard and standing outside are the two Yugi twins who're both dressed up as vampires.

Why the heck was Tsukasa here?!
This was gonna cause alot of problems...

"Sweets!!" The younger squeals running over to the snack bowl on the table and Amane sighs.
"Sorry I wasn't allowed to go unless Tsukasa came too..." He says scratching his neck sheepishly

"It's fine, don't worry about it." Kou gives him a thumbs up "Afterall the more the merrier!"

"Mmhm!" Aoi nods.

Amane steps inside, eyes darting across the room in amazement as he looks at the decorations before landing his eyes on Yashiro.

"You look pretty." He compliments (in the most platonic way ever according to Nene)
She can't understand why recently her cheeks brighten or why the beating drum in her chest won't calm down whenever Amane's near.

Could this be?

No, it couldn't be

Totally not.
