Christmas in July (D:BH Connor x Markus)

Well, here's Halloween. - Part One

Hello, hello, my precious pumpkin army! How are you all today? Well, here comes Halloween! I love Halloween, to be honest. Candy is only the icing on top, because what I really love...are costumes. YES! I get to cosplay without people judging me! Speaking of that, I'll be dressing up as Alice this year (hopefully someone can tell that it's supposed to be her). It's only my second time making an outfit myself, so I suck ass at it, but...I think I'll be okay.

We got sidetracked real quick.

Uh, since I love spooky, I love Halloween, I love the night, and I love crazy costumes, I made a Halloween AU myself. Sue me. Actually please don't, I like making AUs. I might not  be able to get that out by the end of the season, but I really wanna post that by the end of the month. (I still haven't gotten a chapter done yet, though...eh, everything's still fair game.) ANYWAYS, this one will probably be cute fluff about Connor and Markus spending time together in the spirit of Halloween.

So there's that.

Uhhh...have fun, I guess.

... (Connor's POV)

I gazed out the window, as I had done many days, merely observing the bustling activity of people. Yet, as I watched this scene unfold...

A pitiful loneliness haunted my interior.

It felt like a disease had afflicted me, yet my only cure was tauntingly held out of reach. Worries overtook my rational thinking, drowning out so many important things that I could have my mind on. Instead...

Here I was, thinking of him as time died away, the seconds ticking down until my death would arrive.

From his handsome features to the protective embrace he used to guard me from the worries which glared at me from the shadows, Markus was all I've ever wanted. Yet, I never realized it until...

"I love you." I murmured the phrase, as if this was being relayed to a messenger of love, eager to send my pleading for him to come back and love me from the back of the wind. Perhaps the invisible words should find him, though I felt it was but a wishful thought.

Why did he have to wait until that day?

The same time he had to depart was the same I had learned of my desire. The reason behind my desire.

I wish for his toffee colored fingers to play through my hair, to stroke my cheek and linger around my lips. Then, in a joking way, he would stretch them into a smile, causing a laugh to sound out from both of us. I would sigh, saying "You don't need to force me. All I need is a cuddle and a kiss." with a small glint in my eyes. Even though I practically asked for it, I wouldn't expect Markus to suddenly lean in to peck at my cheeks, a kiss for each. My face would flush a dark color, bashfulness directing my eyes somewhere else. Markus would find a smirk tugging at his lips, blue dusting his cheeks, and reposition my face so I would be gazing directly into his beautiful eyes. His hand would linger underneath my chin, stroking my pearly skin. My blush would only deepen, my heart would pound so loudly I could hear the sounds in my ears as I basked in the attention. Leaning closer, our mouths about to connect-

My trance was suddenly interrupted by a loud knock at the door, commanding my attention. I moved slowly, as if I were accentuating the fact I was bothered by the intrusion, but followed the sound regardless. I cautiously peeked out the ajar door. No one really knows where I live, so it'd be strange if it were-

"Connor! So good to see you." A familiar voice brought a forced smile to my face. And of course, it was Kamski, still dressed in some strange getup.
