Jokers on the Scene. Eridan x Reader

Halloween.

Psh.

Eridan scowled as he sat on his morials couch debating as to what he would wear to Gamzee's Halloween Party this year. Last year he went as Beetlejuice and the year before then he went as Jack Skellington from The Nightmare before Christmas.

As you can see he had a thing for pinstripes.

This year he hadn't the slightest clue as to what he was going to wear. The party was tonight, and he had already come to the conclusion that he wasn't going to go. Currently he was waiting for (y/n) to get back from the grocery store, a large bowl of cheese puffs in his hand. He popped a ball of the orange cheesy deliciousness into his saliva infested, predatory deadly sharp teeth bordered mouth. Munching on the cheesy goodness, he stared at the television, watching the most recent episode of Project Runway.

"Oh come ON Rain, you so know that polka dots wwere last year. No one wwears polka dots anymore."

He popped another puff into his mouth and chewed.

Just as the front door slammed open.

"ERIDAN AMPORA!!!"

After jumping a bit from the impact the seadwelling troll, in a mad dash, leapt up and changed the channel on the TV to sports center stuffing the large bowl of cheese puffs under a few pillows and leaning on the side of the couch leisurely, as if he was perhaps bored.

"Yes (y/n)?"

The highblooded troll cast a lazy glance at (y/n) in the archway.

She stomped over and grabbed his arm snatching him off of the couch and dragging him throughout her house.

"Get your lazy ass up, go into the bathroom, and put this-"

She shoved a large white bag into his arms and shoved him into the bathroom.

"On."

She shut the door, her footsteps fading away before another door shut. Raising a black brow, the troll peered inside of the bag.

A suit?

Eridan grabbed the suit and pulled it out of the bag.

Grinning the troll quickly changed into the suit, adjusting the coattails and the suspenders. He quickly grabbed the face paint and the wig, slipping the wig on, then applying the face paint. Stepping back he grinned even more, making his costume seem to come to life.

He put in a clear pair of contacts, blinking a few times before leaving the bathroom. As he walked back downstairs, he was greeted with the cropped leather jacket reading the words "kiss this" and knee high studded wedge shoes of (y/n). She turned around to greet him, her painted face breaking out into a grin.

"Well hello there Mr. J"

she laughed clearly excited.

"(y/n), how did you manage to get all of this so quickly?"

She chuckled at him and looped arms with him.

"Come on eriderp you know I have contacts."

"Wwho Tavvros?"

She pursed her lips slightly narrowing her eyes at him

"Maybe."

He chuckled and the two of them began walking arms interlocked as they made their way out of the house and down the street to Gamzee's hive. Once at the door they rang the skull doorbell mad laughter coming over the speaker. "motherfuckin comin man!" a few seconds later, the door swung open to reveal Gamzee, clad in a Bob Marley style outfit complete with the Rasta colors, dreadlocks and his gauges decked out with small weed icons. His Rasta colored slouchy hat, a few dreadlocks spilling out. His black shirt was half untucked and his usual dotted baggy pants covering the back of his Rasta colored converse.
