Imperfectly Perfect [Chaelisa]

forty six

Chaeyoung knocks on the door and rocks on her heels, holding out her overnight bag as she waits for it to open. When the door swings open and she sees Lisa with a bowl of candy, she smiles and says, "Trick or treat!"

Lisa laughs and beckons her inside. "Come on, dork. Get out of the cold."

"I'm not-" Chaeyoung frowns as Lisa ushers her in, "I wasn't kidding. Give me some candy."

Lisa grabs a Reese's peanut butter cup, unwraps it and shoves it in her girlfriend's mouth. "There. Happy Halloween."

Once Chaeyoung has chewed through the peanut butter cup, she wipes her mouth and sends Lisa a smile. "I like your costume. Harley Quinn. Nice."

"Thanks, baby," Lisa grins and kisses her cheek. "Nice vampire costume. I'm sure Jules' going to love seeing 'Camp' come to life in front of her."

"What time are we taking her trick or treating until?" Chaeyoung asks, rocking on her heels. "And when are we setting off?"

"We're going at around five. It's kind of too early right now and my mom is still getting the decorations up. Plus, Jules is busy getting ready. She stole some of my makeup and insisted on doing it herself, so she's probably going to take about six hours." Lisa estimates, putting the candy bowl down by the door.

(Chaeyoung steals another peanut butter cup when she's not looking.)

"Shall I go help her while you're waiting for any early trick or treaters?" Chaeyoung asks, not being very subtle as she unwraps the peanut butter cup. "She might let me help her."

"You can try." Lisa nods towards the stairs. "At least it'll stop you stealing the trick or treater candy."

Chaeyoung blushes and darts behind Lisa to steal a third peanut butter cup. "You'll never stop me from doing that. See you in a little while."

With that, Chaeyoung runs upstairs and knocks on Jules' door to warn her that someone is coming in, before opening it up and sending her girlfriend's sister a bright smile. "Hi, Jules! Happy Halloween!"

Jules turns around with Lisa's eyeliner pencil in her hand. "C-Camp!"

"Lili told me you're taking a while to get ready. Shall I help you?" Chaeyoung asks, sitting down on the end of Jules' bed. "I'm not very good at doing makeup, but that'll make it scarier."

Jules looks her over and points to her eye makeup, because Chaeyoung had made her mom put a lot of black eyeliner on her to give her a more 'vampire' look. "Yes. Do it l-like yours, p-please."

Chaeyoung takes the eyeliner and frowns. "My mom did mine. My little sister helped too. Her name is Alice. She's not little like you, she's fourteen right now, but still... she's still the baby of the family."

"Fourteen is old," Jules points out, and Chaeyoung shakes her head, because fourteen is definitely not old. Fourteen is tiny to her.

"It's not old." Chaeyoung rolls her eyes as she starts with Jules' eyeliner. "I think twenty is really old, but I'm only two years away from that, which is kind of scary. I don't really want to turn twenty."

Jules frowns. "P-Ppeuppeu is three years a-away."

"Yeah, but that's because she's a year younger than me." Chaeyoung says. "Anyway, do you have a witch hat ready? You're going as a witch, right?"

"O-over there," Jules points to the flattened witch hat on her bed, and then up to Chaeyoung's mouth. "Where are y-your fangs?"

Chaeyoung shrugs. "Downstairs in my overnight bag. They're kind of uncomfortable to wear, I don't like them much. But I'll wear them for realism when we're taking you trick or treating. I do like this cape a lot, though."
