Because, I Love You (Liam Dunbar)

Halloween

"You are not going as a playboy bunny," my brother deadpans at the sight of my bunny ears and corset in my hands. 

"Why not?" I gawk. "Liam is going as Hugh Hefner, it's supposed to be a cute costume for couples!"

"Go as Popeye and Olive Oyl if you want to be cute," Stiles interjects. "You don't have wear a leotard and fishnets with heels."

I roll my eyes plopping down into Scott's desk chair. 

"Can't you go as an angel or  something less adultish?" Scott frowns continuing to stare at the costume in my hands. 

"But I just spend ten bucks on these ears and fifty bucks on this corset," I explain pulling out the receipt scanning the large numbers. "It's non-refundable."

"I'll buy you wings and a halo myself, here," Scott fumbles with his wallet pulling out a fifty dollar bill. 

Sighing, I stare at the boy in front of me who reeked of grief. Oh god, and if I listen to his thoughts...

'Why can't she stay little? She's too young to dress like that.'

Dear lord. I am 16... maybe I am too young. I'll save the idea for next year, these two boobs will be gone anyway.

"Okay fine," I say standing up. "I don't need the money, I'll ask Lydia for her old wings and halo."

"That's great!" Scott exclaims looking back at Stiles then me. The other doofus grins giving me a thumbs up. 

Jeez.

"See you look hot!" I exclaim motioning to my boyfriend in the mirror. Liam sighs adjusting the devil horns on top of his head. 

"I guess it's not that bad," he admits adjusting his collar on his red button up shirt. 

"And we're still in a couple costume," I smile helping him tighten up the cuffs around his sleeves.  

Liam turns around looking down at me a with a smirk. 

"You are the prettiest angel," he whispers snaking his hand around my waist pulling me close. I bring my arms around his neck smiling like an idiot. 

"And you are the hottest devil there ever was," I wink up at him. Liam chuckles pecking my nose. Then my cheek, then my neck. 

"Stop," I laugh lightly pushing him away. A knock made its way to my door causing us to stop. 

"Are you guys ready to go?" Scott asks slowly opening my door. 

"Yeah, Erik said we could take his truck,"  I say beginning to grab my stuff. 

"Badass," my brother nods. Liam and I finish getting our things together and meet Scott downstairs. 

"Look at my kids," Erik fake sniffles. "All grown up."

I roll my eyes at his comment, adjusting my back pack.

"You gonna be okay here all alone grandma?" I question. 

"I will have you know Miss Katherine Mortez is coming over to help me pass out candy," the elder vampire smirks. 

"You're dating my old geometry teacher?" I cringe thinking back to my math teacher from freshman year. 

"She's cute," he shrugs. "And I caught her talking about me in the teachers lounge the other day."

"Creep," Liam mutters. 

"Hey," I defend my best friend. "I caught you staring at my ass the first day we met. Creep."

Scott and Erik glare at my boyfriend.
