A Little Laughter Left In Me... (Laughing Jack x Reader)

~Halloween~

Another week or so went by and the day came for the most frightening yet fun holiday in Fall.

Halloween.

It was only around 5 or so and you'd already seen countless numbers of families and children running around from house to house. You kept a large bowl of candy at the door so when someone came to trick-or-treat you could easily hand it out to them and let them be on their way.

You sat in the living room with Miles while reading a few Creepypasta stories on your phone for the occasion, more specifically Laughing Jack and Jason the Toymaker. Jack's since you felt like it, and Jason's to see if you could find out anything more about him.

Soon enough there was once again some small knocks at your door.

"Coming!" You called as you got up from the couch.

You smiled as you opened the door and was greeted by three little kids, the first was dressed as a black cat, the second was Frankenstein, and the third was a masked bandit.

"Trick-or-Treat!" They excitedly said in unison.

"Wow! Don't you three look cool!" You said playfully.

"Thank you.." The child that was dressed as a cat said shyly.

You grabbed a handful of candy for each of the kids' pumpkin shaped buckets and placed the treats inside.

"Thank you miss!" The kid dressed in the mask said.

"You're very welcome, happy Halloween!" You winked.

"Happy Halloween!" The children all waved goodbye and ran off.

You watched as they left then shut the door with a wide smile.

You loved seeing how happy the kids were when you gave them the candy, it was something that made you feel warm inside.

You walked over to the couch and sat back down with Miles, going back to your phone. But you paused after a moment when you heard someone giggle.

You'd recognize that laugh anywhere.

"I wasn't expecting you to visit today, Jack." You said with a happy smile, putting your phone in your pocket and looking around.

As you had expected, from a large puff of black smoke appeared the monochrome clown himself.

"How could I not? I just had to visit my little Gumdrop on this oh so special night!" He said giddily as he walked over to you.

Wait, did he say... 'my'?

You quickly brushed the thought aside.

"How come?" You asked curiously.

"(Y/n), it's Halloween, I'm not just going to let you sit here all night by yourself! You need to have fun too y'know." He said with a toothy grin. He stopped his steps once he was right in front of your sitting form, standing over you.

"I don't know... I think I'm a bit too old for the 'Halloween' thing.." You replied, looking up at him with a furrowed brow.

Jack looked shocked.

"Don't you dare think like that! You're never too old to enjoy Halloween! I mean, I've been around for who even knows how long, and I still celebrate it!" Jack responded.

You still weren't up to it, but it seemed like Jack wasn't going to take no for an answer, you still decided to try though.

"I still don't think-" Your last attempt at protest was interrupted by Jack lifting you into the air.
