Modern!Neji Hyuuga *Alcohol on Halloween*

"Bubble bubble toil and trouble. Mixing and whisking and brewing double. Should this evil sign arise, from this cauldron comes your demise!"

Screams filled the room as a firecracker went off in the bottom of a fake cauldron and a puff of smoke was cast in the air. The screams intensified as the door was flung open and the lights flickered on. The freshman college students didn't even take time to process as they ran screaming from the room and off the premises with haste. A bored sigh escaped the lips of whomever had rushed the door open so quickly.

"Neji! Thanks for the added affect! I really got them didn't I?" A smirk of victory adorned your lips as you looked at the stern faced guy in front of you.

Neji shut the door and looked at you with narrowed eyes, "(Y/n) I thought we talked about this? You could have the Halloween decorations and use a small smoke bomb but I told you we can't go traumatizing the freshman. It's bad rep for juniors like us." Neji scolded you.

You couldn't take him seriously however. It was around 10 pm on a Saturday night on October 31st. Halloween. And your best friend since freshman year of college Neji Hyuuga was dressed as a ninja. His flowing black hair held back by a headband with a leaf symbol etched into it tied across his forehead. His eyes a solid grey with the help of contacts. Adorning his body was a long sleeved black shirt with a green jacket and black pants. On his leg was a "med kit" (no doubt filled with snacks for you) and he just looked like the ninja he watched on streaming.

"(Y/n)? (Y/n)!" Neji said as he waved a hand in front of your face realizing you'd been staring at him for a bit now.

Your cheeks turned a slight pink as you broke out into a slight laugh, "Neji it's so hard to take you seriously with your ninja costume on."

His cheeks turned a bright red and he frowned slightly. He gave your arm a gentle punch, "That's not funny (Y/n). You told me I looked fine in this."

You nodded your head, "You do Neji! You just can't scold me looking like that. You're too adorable."

You turned your back as you spoke and didn't notice the blush growing on your best friend's cheeks. You picked up your jacket debating on if you needed it to keep you warm in the cool outside air. You were wearing a witch/warlock outfit that sadly didn't have long sleeves or long bottoms to protect you from the cold. Though you decided against it.

"Now Neji I hope you're ready otherwise we're gong to be late for the party." You turned around and heard the groan from his lips.

"Do we really have to go? I'm so sick of these frat parties. And someone always ends up spilling alcohol on me." Neji complained.

You just laughed at his whining and switched off the light to your dorm room. You grabbed Neji's arm and threw it around your shoulder and dragged him along.

"Neji. As your best friend for going on two and a half years now, you have got to trust me. This time will be different. I won't let anyone spill alcohol on you and I'll stay right by your side all night." You said to soothe his complaints.

Neji grumbled some words under his breath but you took it as a yes as you began dragging dragging him from the co-ed junior students' dorm building, not taking notice to the red cheeks on your best friend. The two of you walked, his arm on your shoulder and one of your's was around his waist. You two chatted, well you chat and he just listened. This was your dynamic. He was there as a figure by your side but you did most of the friendshipping. As you reached the fraternity's house you saw lights flashing and music blaring. People were loitering outside with questionable "cigarettes" and cups of alcohol. Neji slid his arm off of your shoulder and half stepped slightly in front of you in a protective manor. You chuckled softly at the predictable actions.
