IEOT: Event Special🎃

1: Halloween party!

~JANE~
Underground Dojo,Manhattan, New York

In the lair, an unusual excitement reigned as we busied ourselves organizing our little Halloween party. The walls were decorated with cobwebs, fake candles and even some old plastic bones April and I had found in a store a few blocks away. Hearing the evening's theme, "classic horror films", ideas had been flying thick and fast. The boys, April and I vied with each other to find our perfect costumes.

Sitting on the sofa, I observed the scene, amused. With my "usual creativity", I had already imagined the perfect costume for me and Leo: Gomez and Morticia Addams.

Yes, I've always liked this duo, which, strangely enough, reminds us of our own!

And to my amazement, she liked the choice, but I had a specific idea in mind. Glancing at Leo, she could see his face adorned with a fine moustache, worthy of the famous Gomez.

Although I'm afraid it's going to be a bit tricky to get him to accept this guilty pleasure from me...

She stood up and approached him, a smirk on her face.

- Tell me, Captain, do you know The Addams Family?" I asked innocently, in my most honeyed voice.

He raised an eyebrow, his eyes betraying his distrust. He knew very well that, when I wore that smile, some far-fetched idea was never far away.

And he wasn't necessarily wrong to be suspicious!

- The Addams Family? Hmm, yeah. They're a weird family, kind of like... like us?" he replies, looking down at me.

I sometimes forget that he's shorter than me.

- "Exactly, you know your classics well! But they live with their weirdness. But they're very, very elegant." I returned

Leo stared at me, puzzled but intrigued. I took on a charming tone, moving a little closer behind his back, wrapping my arms around his neck, which earned him a slight shiver of surprise.
It's all new, us getting a little closer like this every dejx.

- "You'd be a perfect Gomez, you know." I said, looking down at him, borderline soft-eyed.

He frowned slightly.

- "And you... a very pretty Morticia?" he asked, his smile beginning to betray a hint of amusement.

I nodded.

- "Oh, absolutely. I've got an elegant black dress, a dark lipstick... and you, you could put on a beautiful dark midnight-blue suit and... a fine, adoring moustache." I said.

And, as I'd suspected, my proposal widened his eyes.

- "A moustache? Really?" he asked, unsure.

- "Hey, listen, if you want a faithful suit, you've got to commit to the end, right, Big Blue?" I replied, shrugging my shoulders innocently, although a mischievous smile was already forming on my lips.

He hesitates, which forces me to use my secret little boot: the little cat eyes.
And I know he can't

Leo, caught up in his game, hesitated for a moment, before laughing.

- "Well, all right. But if I do this, you also have to stay in Morticia all evening." he tried, as if to compensate.

I nodded, amused and happy.

-" Come on, hope! That moustache isn't going to get lonely, is it?" I ordered.

Seeing that he was already starting to regret it!
