OUR LOVELY FANART IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY @Mahito Slander SO A ROUND OF APPLAUSE!! I know the Japanese don't do trick or treating, but for the sake of this story, let's pretend they do...

-----

1995

You stared at Manjirō as he fought with Keisuke in the dojo, each kick he landed made the black haired boy tumble to the ground. But he never gave in, getting back almost immediately and rushing over to grab the bleached blonde boy.

A smile made way on your lips as Keisuke finally collapsed on the tatami floors in exhaustion, Manjirō standing over him with a smirk, "Give it up, Baji!! I'm a genius, you'll never win against me!!" His cocky words made the ravenette on the floor, scoff in annoyance.

"Yeah, yeah... Whatever..." He hissed and rolled over on his stomach to shoot you a giant grin, "That reminds me... [Male Name]!!" The mention of your name made you tilt your head and hum in recognition.

"What are you gonna dress up as tomorrow?!" He asked as he used his elbows to prop himself up, "I'm gonna be a vampire!! I've been told that my teeth remind people of one!!" He laughed as Manjirō sat down next to him and huffed as he noticed you shift your attention from him to his friend.

"Yeah? Well, I'm gonna be a zombie!! I watched Day Of The Dead a few days ago, and now I've decided that I'm gonna be the best zombie out there!!" Manjirō declared proudly, making you smile softly at him.

"Huh? How the hell did you watch that when it's an English movie?!" Baji interrupted with a frown, scratching his head in confusion. Almost as if he were a detective, Manjirō posed, "We watched the Japanese dub!! Emma kept hiding behind Shin-nii the entire time, hahaha!!"

Unbeknownst to him, a fist came raining down on his head making him yell out in pain, "The hell was that for?!" The bleached blonde boy yelled out as Shinichirō rolled his eyes in annoyance, "Did you forget how you woke me up in the middle of the night to take a piss?!"

Upon Shinichirō's words, Manjirō scrambled to cover his mouth but the damage was done. Baji let out a roar of laughter as you covered your mouth to stop your series of chuckles. The minute the short boy took notice of this, he stomped over to Baji and chopped his neck.

The latter choked and began coughing loudly as Manjirō began walking away, with Baji recovering and ready to jump at him for hitting him so bad. Shinichirō smiled at their dumb antics and turned over to you with a smile, "You never did tell what you're gonna dress up as?"

He shot you a comforting smile, and you quickly found yourself feeling at ease with him, "I don't know... My mother never lets me celebrate Halloween..." He frowned at the mention of your mother, mentally cursing the older woman for stripping your childhood away from you.

"Well, we'll cross that bridge when we get to it!! For now, let's just decide a good costume for you!!" Shinichirō suggested with a grin as you tilted your head in confusion, "I can just make a simple costume for myself..."

The older male shook his head and grabbed your arm to tug you towards the bathrooms, "Change your clothes!! I'm gonna call Takeomi and the others so that we can choose a good costume for your first Halloween with us!!" You had no other choice but to comply as you nodded and got to changing.

"Hey Takeomi!! So... I need you to get Benkei and Waka, and get over here!!"
