All Red {Xavier Thorpe X Reader}

Surprise Birthday Party

Enid, Ajax, Wednesday, Xavier and Y/n were on the quad at lunch, as was usual for the quintet.

– So... I need you two... – Enid said looking to Xavier and Y/n – and you Ajax, to meet me in yoko's room at 2:00 pm... – said looking to Ajax – We're going to socialize a little and update some gossip for my blog, are you going Wednesday? – she asked.

– I have better things to do... – Wednesday replied and Enid sighed.

– Socializing a little wouldn't kill you... – Enid said rolling her eyes – But you three will appear right? – asked smiling.

– Of course we're going! – Y/n replied grabbing Xavier's arm who nodded.

{ In Yoko's room }

In the room were Ajax, Kent, Yoko, Divina, Xavier and Y/n who were sitting in a circle on the floor... And Enid with Thing on her shoulder in the center of the circle.

– Okay, I didn't call you here for the blog or to socialize, I called you to organize a surprise party for Wednesday's birthday! – Enid said all excited and everyone was surprised.

Xavier was in charge of designing the cake decorations, Ajax and Kent would go to the Weathervane to place the order for the cake, Enid and Y/n cut out the magazine letters to form a sentence that would get Wednesday's attention "If you want answers, meet inside Crackstone's crypt. Midnight."

Yoko and Divina simply came up with the idea of ​​making the surprise in Crackstone's crypt, and Thing stayed most of the time on Y/n's shoulder.

– Y/n, can you still turn invisible? – Enid asked and Y/n tested if she could and she succeeded leaving everyone awestruck and became visible again and nodded to Enid.

When everything was planned and ready, Enid and Y/n went to Wednesday's room, a few meters away from the door Y/n who was holding the paper became invisible and opened the bedroom door slowly to create mystery, Wednesday was in the middle of some ritual and seconds later Enid entered and Y/n remained outside the room.

– Sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt your... Uh, do I even want to know? – Enid said closing the door.

– I was reaching into the black maw of death to contact a relative. – Wednesday replied.

– Feels very on-brand for you. You have a relative named Goody? – Enid asked.

– She was one of the original outcasts. Been attempting to summon her, but she seems to be ignoring my entreaties. – Wednesday replied.

– Oh, you thought about using one of my scented candles? The aroma of steak tartare is to die for. – Enid said and this was the perfect moment for Y/n to throw the paper under the door, Y/n noticed Enid's acting skills – Maybe Goody answered you after all.

– I doubt she communicates in magazine cutouts. – Wednesday said.

{ In Crackstone's Crypt}

They were all hiding inside the crypt and Y/n was trying to listen when Enid arrived with Wednesday.

– You insisted on coming along. I was fine on my own. – Wednesday said and Y/n heard  – Seems like our wannabe Deep Throat is already here.

– Shh, they arrived. – Y/n whispered.

– How do you know? – Kent asked and Xavier and Divina said together an aggressively "Shh" to him.

– Ew – Enid said – What died?

– Smells like childhood. Come on. – Wednesday said entering the place.

– Second thoughts. Why don't I just stay out here? You know, as a lookout. – Enid said "She's really good at acting..."

As part of the plan, Y/n turned invisible and passed through Wednesday, unintentionally making a noise.

– Enid? – Wednesday asked stopping and looking around but started walking again while Y/n took the cake from where it was hidden and went to Enid, she became visible and took the cake out of the box and Enid lit the candle and put a colorful ornament.

The two walked slowly to Wednesday, and someone (Kent) coughed.

– Whoever you are, show yourself. Try anything and you'll lose your limbs. – Wednesday said.

They all turn on the flashlights and show themselves to Wednesday singing the happy birthday song.

– I should have known you were behind this. – Wednesday said realizing the presence of Thing and turning to him – What part of "No party under the penalty of death" do you not understand?

– I thought my cake design was pretty inspired. – Xavier said and Wednesday turned to the group again.

– The pink balloon was my little touch. – Enid said smiling.

– Why don't you make a wish? – Y/n asked.

– Wait, it's Latin. – Wednesday said turning his back on them and reading the scripture – "Fire will rain... When I rise."

– That's not really a wish. – Enid said.

– The first part of that was burned onto Nevermore's lawn. It can't be a coincidence. – Wednesday said.

– Wait, we're never eating that cake, are we? – Ajax asked and Enid made a sad but cute face while Wednesday was still looking at the writing and seconds later she fell but before she hit the ground, Y/n held her in her arms.

Minutes later Wednesday was back to normal and Y/n helped her to get up.

– You can celebrate without me, i have things to do. – Wednesday said and just walked away.

They continued in the crypt, cut the cake, talked and had fun trying to ignore the fact that the birthday girl in question had simply left.
