Chapter 7.2: Halloween Bash

Two weeks after Florian's birthday, some would say I had a break from planning. No that is a lie, I have several things to do. With Halloween Bash coming up: graduation, Cynthia and John's wedding and trying to figure out when Florian and I were going to move everything was a blur.

Yes we're moving in together and we haven't told anyone yet. He practically lives with me now in my barely manageable condo, but we make due with what we have once he's finally ready to pick a city to stay with me. I'm ready to move to either Atlanta or LA, at most.

Last minute touches on my costume, Persephone from Lore Olympus on Webtoon, I had to make sure my pink wig and black dress were presentable. The black spiked crown on my head was a pretty durable headband, which presented me as the queen of the underworld. The different shades of pink from Mehron body paint, made my body look like a decedent piece of strawberry laffy taffy.

"Is Hades ready to go? We gotta meet the folks at the venue, the planner picked an old mansion."

The lipstick I picked was a subtle dark pink, but doable. Grabbing my heels and my black clutch, I saw my giant bear struggling with his tie.

"Florian! We gotta go, now"

With his cute pout, he huffed in defeat. "I'm trying draga. But I think the blue paint is coming off."

"I told you I had to spray you with setting body paint spray."

"Come help me please?"

"Fine." Grabbing his tie and folding it for him gently, then grabbing the setting spray for the body paint. The paint was on his forearms: his chest, face and neck. I'm surprised it stayed in place, not to mention the white hair wax I did for his hair or the 2 inches of hair he does have. This man looked like the perfect king of the underworld.

The white button up was opened at the 4 buttons, his sleeves were rolled up a quarter of a way on his forearms for the body paint to work out better. The black vest made a great contrast with the whole ensemble, pulling off the perfect king look with the chain around his neck.

"So you make a really hot looking Hades. I'm Surprised you didn't let me do the wig."

"Me in a wig, baby girl? Nah not gonna happen at all. Now you can put the iridescent contacts in my eyes."

Grabbing the prescription contacts and placing them in his eyes gently, I did the same with my red one's. I never knew I'd look hot as the queen of the Greek mythology, and I make it work.

"Ready to go my queen of the underworld?" He offered his hand to me, after putting.

Lacing our fingers together, tugging him behind me as we headed towards the car, I got into character and praying to the gods that I didn't trip on my dress.

"I hope Minthe won't be there, because I'd hate to rip her a new one."

"Oh please, she wouldn't dare- Gege what is that?"

His eyes went wide at the sleek black convertible that I had rented for the night. My uncle let me borrow it and I promised I'd bring it back in one piece.

I dangled the keys in front of his face being all tantalizing. "You can't be Hades, king of the Underworld, without a good car. Now can you?"

"Damn I love you." He grabbed them keys from me with a giddy expression.

"Oh I know. Let's go, we got a party to host."

-The Party-

The spooky ambiance of the mansion was alive, despite the fact that there were a few zombies in the place. Receiving compliments about our costumes felt magical and so heartfelt, we showed a lot of pride into making these costumes and for people to say they loved them meant all the difference.
