Halloween BNHA One-shots & Drabbles

A Seventh Watching

Hey! listen, long story short, I burnt out big-time while writing this so I'm really sorry for the severe drop in quality from me and the overall choppiness of the story;;;

Characters: The Bakusquad (Jirou is part of the Bakusquad, fight me.)
Warnings: mild descriptions of gore/disturbing imagery. (Major character death?? Sort of, but not really??)
Pairings: Background KiriBaku, hinting at both SeroMina and KamiSero to keep everybody happy
Quick Summary: Spooky stories around a fire

-

The fire crackled, sending sparks like frenzied fireflies into the dark sky where they lingered for a second before fizzing out. The flames worked to illuminate the six friends gathered around in a rusty yellow glow, warm and comforting if you asked some, eerie and ghostly if you asked others.

"Denki!" Mina addressed in a drawn-out whine, holding two palms out to the fire, letting the flames warm her numbing fingers. She looked at him with bright sparkly eyes. "Marshmallows! Do you have any marshmallows?!"

A brisk wind shuffled though the group, a breeze carrying with it the last of summer. Fall leaves danced through the wind, the uncanny sound of leaves tickling their fingers against one another was the only thing besides the friend's echoing voices and the cackling fire that kept that night from being dead silent.

Denki stared at Mina with pursed lips. "Aw man, that would have been perfect! We could have toasted them to make little melted marshmallow ghosts!" He tugged at the drawstring of his hoodie, a Halloween themed one respectively, decorated with the sewed on eyes and mouth of a jolly jack-o-lantern. "But my cousins and aunts and uncles were all over on Thursday for my Parent's family Halloween party and, sadly, the little ones ate all of them."

"Cursed children," Mina sighed in return, her hopes of "little melted marshmallow ghosts" quickly dying. "Is there anything else we could snack on that's, like, Halloween-y?"

Out of everyone there, gathered on pine logs around a steady fire, Mina and Kaminari were, without a doubt, the biggest Halloween freak; they practically bowed down to the holiday.
Mina had been counting down the days ever since August and started decorating her room back at her own house with everything from strings of purple lights and fake blood (it was truly a sight). On the other hand, Kaminari had snagged himself a part-time job at a pumpkin patch for the month so he could take home all the neglected, cracked, or deformed pumpkins for him and his friends. It was fun and all, basically having their own misfit pumpkin patch, but after the tenth night in a row of carving them into jack-o-lanterns, it started to get old.

So now, on Halloween eve, the six gathered in Kaminari's backyard to sit around a fire and...well that was about it. They didn't really know what to do to celebrate the night before Halloween besides just...be there. They all quickly declined more jack-o-lantern carving, Sero stating that if he saw any more pumpkin guts, he would throw up, and there were plenty of Halloween parties in the town, one even hosted by their school friend, but they weren't really party people. Loud music made Mina's stomach hurt, flashing orange and purple lights gave Bakugou a headache, and they all thought that what the party host dubbed as "Pumpkin juice", which was really just watered-down beer with some flavoring carelessly dumped in, was disgusting.

So on Halloween eve, unlike most teens, Kaminari, Mina, Sero, Bakugou, Kirishima, and Jirou were not at a party dancing to Halloween song remixes and bobbing for apples, getting wasted on apple juice, but rather sitting around a fire with nothing interesting to talk about besides marshmallows.

"We could make brownies," Jirou offered as Mina leaned against her shoulder, pouting, "and put orange M&Ms on them?"

The pink-haired girl stomped her feet, crushing flaky orange leaves in the process. "Halloween eve! It's Halloween eve, I wanna venture into the forest and stumble across a cult wearing jack-o-lanterns over their heads, creepily chanting as they march around a fire, giving out candy corn!"
