Enhypen when... (one shots)

☠︎ Niki ☠︎

Spooky month was here, and there was no way you could've forgotten about it. Why? Because of Niki. He had been hyping up Halloween for weeks now.

As soon as September began, he begged to watch horror movies and even started waking you up to the song "Thriller" by Michael Jackson. At one point, he actually claimed to be the 'next Michael Jackson'. By now- you were absolutely sick of the song. You constantly had to remind him that it was too early to start celebrating toward the start of the month, but at last it was finally just a week until Halloween, and nothing could stop Niki now.

Niki had plans. Plans, and plans, and more plans. He wanted to watch horror movies, make Halloween cookies, costume shop, carve pumpkins, buy candy, pull pranks, go to a haunted house, scare random peoples' kids, try a maze or a horror themed escape room, and so, so much more. You lost count of it all.

However, today Niki had decided it was haunted house night- and he was not going to change his mind. He had already signed the both of you up for it when he saw it advertised while strolling the town recently.

Considering you dealt with Niki every day, you weren't that much of a scaredy cat. In fact, you were sure this would be a cheaply put together event, not scary at all. Just some people dressed poorly in store bought costumes that were painfully fake looking, and some plastic props from amazon. You thought it was a waste of time and money, but you couldn't bare reject Niki when he had been so excited for Halloween week.

"Niki it's so cold." you complained as you got closer to the entrance of the haunted house. It was a lot warmer outside when you had originally left your house, but Niki had gotten distracted by all the Halloween stalls around the town on the way, so now it was later than you had planned.

"The adrenaline will warm you up soon." he replied with a smile, an evil, smile.

You pushed him slightly on the shoulder.

"Stop with that stupid smirk of yours, would you? It's annoying me. Let's just get this over with."

"You sound scared" Niki teased.

"I'm not scared at all. As if I could be scared of something like that!"

You pointed to the dog walking around near the entrance in a little Halloween costume its owner had forced it into. It plodded around sweetly, dressed as a tiny walking, barking- pumpkin.

"Poor dog." you mumbled. It was a bit cute though, you had to admit.

"Don't be so pessimistic. C'mon let's go." Niki rushed in front of you toward the area.

You both signed in and began the spooky event right away. For the first five minutes, there was barely anything even relatively scary. You knew it would be like this. Just some people dressed up, yelling and trying to jump at you. It was so predictable. The only people screaming were literal children.

Niki watched you and noticed you weren't having that much fun. He couldn't settle with that. He also couldn't bear the thought of admitting you were right about how tacky this was. Good thing he had something planned this whole time. This would definitely satisfy him.

You and Niki entered a very dark room with a low hue of green light.  You could barely see each other. The silence started to dawn on you. It began to make you nervous.

To make matters worse, Niki suddenly disappeared around the corner, out of your sight entirely.

"Niki come on don't be like that, wait for me."

He seemed to be nowhere near you. You called out his name a few times, but you never got a response.

"Niki stop playing it's not funny."

You actually began to get quite anxious; it was too quiet for a haunted house, and you just wanted Niki to come back. Why did he have to run off so much. It was like babysitting a kid gone rouge, you wouldn't think he was his actual ag-

"RAGHHHHH"

You fell to the floor covering your ears and screaming, your heart rate going at a concerning pace. You had to catch your breath, only to realize it was just Niki standing there almost pissing himself laughing. He couldn't even stand straight, holding his stomach from hard laughter.

"You act so tough but look at you right now!" he continued.

"You little shit..." you began to chase him.

The haunted house staff- who were supposed to be the ones scaring you, just watched in confusion.

Niki was still laughing the entire time as he ran. He came to a sudden halt and almost jumped out of his skin when someone jolted at him out of nowhere. You began to laugh; it was like instant karma.

After you guys had exited the place, you were both almost entirely out of breath. You would have thought you had just run a marathon.

"That was so much fun" you admitted.

Niki smiled widely, it was a pure success for him, and now you were having just as much fun, he was so happy in this moment. He was happy that you were happy too. Your smile was contagious to him.

"Wanna go again?" He joked.

"With you? Absolutely not" you laughed.
