The streets were alive with the vibrant glow of jack-o'-lanterns and the gentle hum of laughter that accompanied trick-or-treating on a chilly autumn night. Y/N adjusted the plush hood of her giraffe costume, the soft fabric brushing against her face as she pulled it down to keep her ears warm. Beside her, Ayesha grinned, their matching giraffe costumes making them a sight to behold as they walked through the neighborhood.
"Which house next?" Y/N asked, her eyes twinkling under the streetlights. The soft crunch of leaves under their feet added a rhythm to their excited chatter.
"The houses behind the apartment building... you know, the really big ones," Ayesha replied, bumping her shoulder playfully as they walked. The two continued down the street, their candy bags growing heavier with each house they visited, a mixture of excitement and sugar-fueled adrenaline propelling them forward.

Before long, two familiar figures emerged from the shadows of a maple tree, the leaves crackling beneath their feet. Satoru and Suguru stepped into the light, and Y/N's jaw tightened as she saw that both of them were also wearing giraffe costumes. The sight was ridiculous; their gangly limbs and oversized heads only made them look more comical.
"Are you for real?" she said, struggling to contain her annoyance. "How did you guys know?"
Satoru just shrugged, a mischievous smirk crossing his face. His bright blue eyes shone from behind the faux fur of his giraffe hood. "I just guessed," he said, giving Y/N a cheeky wink.
"Stalked," Suguru corrected, but Satoru seemed to ignore his friend's dry humor.
"Maybe we're just that in sync," Satoru continued, puffing his chest out proudly. "Perfect for two—"
Y/N groaned in annoyance, her eyes narrowing at Satoru, who had already dipped his hand into her candy bag. "Hey!" she protested, trying to grab it back. "Get your own candy!"
Satoru smirked, taking a bite of a chocolate bar he'd just swiped. "What's yours is mine," he said with a playful shrug, winking at her as if it was all part of a game.
They continued their journey through the neighborhood, the four of them weaving in and out of porch lights and decorative spider webs. Each house they approached had its own charm, some owners even offering warm cider or homemade treats. The atmosphere buzzed with excitement, laughter mingling with the rustling leaves and the distant sound of Halloween music from nearby homes.
At one house, the owners had set up an elaborate haunted house in their garage, complete with fog machines and actors dressed as monsters jumping out to scare unsuspecting trick-or-treaters. Y/N felt her heart race with anticipation as they approached, trying to muster enough courage to go through. Satoru, ever the instigator, encouraged them, "Come on! It'll be fun!"
With a shared glance of determination, they all agreed to enter, though Y/N felt a slight twinge of apprehension. As they stepped inside, a thick fog enveloped them, and eerie music played in the background. Y/N couldn't help but scream as a ghostly figure jumped out from behind a curtain, its eyes glowing ominously. Satoru laughed, clearly enjoying her reaction, poking her shoulders.
"Stop it!" Y/N gasped, trying to push through the tension while Ayesha pulled her closer, giggling nervously.
As they made their way through the maze of jump scares and eerie decorations, Y/N couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement mixed with fear. Suguru kept close to her, occasionally reaching out to make sure she was okay. She appreciated his quiet reassurance, even amidst the chaos.
When they finally emerged into the cool night air, they were all breathless from laughter and adrenaline. Satoru, however, wasn't done. "Okay, let's go to a few more houses!" he exclaimed, running towards the next set of houses.

After what felt like hours of laughter, candy, and dodging Satoru's relentless attempts to steal more treats from Y/N's bag, they finally decided to call it a night. The streets had emptied, leaving only the flicker of candles in pumpkins and the rustling of leaves in the breeze. Y/N felt the chill seep through her costume, shivering as they made their way to Ayesha's apartment.
The clock had passed a little over midnight as Ayesha unlocked her front door, the warm glow of her living room lamp welcoming them inside. Y/N barely made it past the threshold before collapsing on the couch, her giraffe hood falling lopsided as she let out a sigh of exhaustion.
"I'm... so tired," she mumbled, her eyelids growing heavy as the weight of the night's excitement took over. She didn't even have the energy to remove her costume; the soft fabric felt comforting against her skin.
Ayesha laughed softly, setting her candy bag down on the coffee table before grabbing a blanket and draping it over Y/N. "Alright... just sleep," she said, her voice warm with affection.
Satoru and Suguru exchanged amused glances, the former taking the opportunity to sneak another piece of candy from Y/N's bag while she was too tired to notice. "Nighty night!" Satoru whispered with a grin, his voice low enough to not wake her but playful enough to make Suguru nudge him.
"Leave her alone, Satoru," Suguru said, his own smile softening as he watched Y/N's peaceful expression. It was nice to see her like this, carefree and happy after the excitement of the night.
Satoru feigned innocence, holding up the candy like a trophy. "What? I'm just helping her by lightening her load! She wouldn't want to carry all this back to her house, would she?"
Ayesha rolled her eyes, stifling a laugh as she retrieved the candy from Satoru's grasp. "You're unbelievable. Just let her rest."
As they settled into the comfortable space of Ayesha's living room, Satoru and Suguru took seats across from the couch, engaging in light banter. Ayesha turned on the television, opening a random movie as Y/N slept comfortably.
