Tyrone sits on the floor beside me.
"Do you have gold?" He asks.
I try not to be too surprised.
"Y-yeah, I do, actually. And then I'll put on the silver." I say.
"Wanna do mine and then I'll do yours?" Tyrone asks.
"Sure." I agree.
Until I suddenly wonder something...
"Have you ever painted your nails before?" I ask.
"No, but it can't be that hard, right?"
"Well... no, not really. But it's easy to make a mess."
"Okay, then you go first and show me." Tyrone says, smiling at me.
I smile back, slightly flustered, then nod.

Once our nails are painted and dry and Tyrone has made another blowjob joke to pester me, we're almost ready to head out. I put my moon crescent studs in as well as a little black choker with a moon pendant around my neck. I place the moon and stars crown on my head, then wrap the lacy black cloak with a moon and star print around me. Aside from needing to put on my shoes, I'm all ready to go now.
"I feel like a spooky pookie." I say randomly.
Tyrone looks at me, seeming unconvinced.
"Khai I hate to break it to you but you don't look spooky. Neither of us do." He says, and I laugh.
"Fair enough."
Tyrone sets his matching sun crown on his head along with his cloak, which is like mine but gold and with a sun print instead.
I also realize he's finally wearing his eyebrow piercing. For the sake of the occasion, it's also gold- coloured.
"The piercing looks cool." I mention, motioning towards it.
"Thanks. I think I'm gonna start wearing it again." He says.
"It looks good on you." I tell him. "Also like all your holes are filled right now."
I cringe.
"Not like that, I mean that all the... the piercing holes have piercings in them and you usually don't have them all in but it's super cool and... uhm... I wish I had more piercings than just my lobes."
Tyrone just smiles at me.
"Most of them were done when I was younger already." He tells me.
"That's cool. At least that means they're all properly healed by now. Mine were done when I was like... four, I think? My mom told me I was watching her put her earrings in one day so I starting asking a bunch of questions and eventually I said I wanted mine done, too."
"That's cute."
I smile back at Tyrone.
He gazes into my eyes for a few seconds, but before I can start imagining nice things, he says,
"Let's get to that party, shall we?"
🌒🌓🌔🌕🌖🌗🌘
To my relief, everyone seems to have forgotten the rumours already.
They're all minding their own business, and Tyrone and I even get a few compliments on our costumes.
