"fine. we can do the stupid contest." i say as we reach the store.

"yay! i'm sure we'll win~"

i sigh as we walk into the store, but my mood automatically brightens, since halloween is the best holiday.

we walk around the whole store. i spot cat ears in the next aisle, a small smile growing on my face. i leave oikawa in this aisle to quickly get a pair.

"chinami-chan, where'd you go?"

"next aisle."

oikawa pops up at the end of the aisle and walks towards me. "whatcha doin~?" he crouches on his knees to my level and looks at the animal ears.

i turn to him with brown cat ears in my hands. i place them on his head. fuck, we're really close. i feel my face heat up while his is dusted with a light pink.

"kitty oikawa." i pat his head and move away from his face.

he grabs a pair of black ears while i start walking out of the aisle. he places them on my head.

"kitty chinami~"

i turn around to him to reveal a huge smile on his face. wait, cat ears actually suit him so well. i let out a little giggle and continue down the aisle to a staff member, oikawa following next to me.

"excuse me, do you carry coraline and wybie costumes?"

"indeed, we do!" the worker starts leading us to said costumes. "is this a couple costume?"

what the fuck.

my eyes widen. "no- just.. friends."

the worker slowly nods, probably feeling like a dumbass. we make it to the area where the coraline and wybie costumes were and thanked the worker. apparently, the rule here is that you have to buy your item to try it on, so we purchase the correct sizes and head to the dressing rooms.

i take the costume out of its packaging and remove my clothing. as i'm about to put on the costume pants, i hear the door knob click.

what the fuck? how did i forget to lock it?!

"chinami-chan, i'm coming in!"

"don't-"

oikawa opens my dressing room door as i look back to the door.

"what the fuck-" i take my cat ears off and throw them at his face.

"okay, okay! i'm going!" he slowly closes the door, still peering at me. when he's about to completely shut the door, he opens it again.

"oikawa!"

"i'm going!"

definitely double checking every door i lock from now on. i let out a sigh and continue to put on the costume.. it's a perfect fit.

i walk out of the dressing room to see oikawa also outside of his.

my eyes sparkle. why is he actually the perfect wybie?

he runs towards me with open arms, embracing me in a hug and spinning me around. "you're my coraline~!"

"oik.. awa.. i can't.. breathe."

"oh, sorry~" oikawa laughs and puts me down.

i'm.. his coraline..? i feel my face starting to heat up again.

"am i your wybie?"

"no." i cross my arms.

"yes, i am~" oikawa engulfs me in his arms again.

okay, yeah, he's too excited about this. he lets go after a few seconds and we go back to our dressing rooms. i take off the costume and wig and put it back in the bag. i walk out of the dressing room to see oikawa leaning outside of it, waiting for me.

"anywhere else you need to go?"

is there..

"yes, let's go."

oikawa follows behind me as we go to the piercing shop.

oh my god, i swear he's never where he's supposed to be.. we're not doing this again. i go over to the front desk and frantically tap the bell.

"i'm coming!"

"come faster-!"

wait, that sounded so wrong. instant regret.

"say less~" terushima teases, running out to the front of the desk and tightly hugging me.

i sigh. "why do i always end up trapped in a hug."

"you're huggable~~" oikawa butts in.

"he's right." terushima backs up from the hug and greets oikawa. "oh, show me the piercing!" he bends down to my face level. i stick my tongue out to him to reveal the perfectly healed piercing.

"duuuude, it looks so good!"

"well, you did it. i'm not surprised."

terushima raises his hands in defense and looks down at our bags. he points at them. "what's this?"

"costumes."

"oooh, what're you going as?"

"we're going as coraline and wybie."

"what?! are you guys a thing?"

"ew, never. why are you the second person to assume that?"

"because we'd be cute together!" oikawa wraps an arm around me.

"shut up." i smack his hand, making him retrieve his arm.

"hey, you didn't deny it!" terushima exclaims.

fuck.

"bye, teruteru."

me and oikawa leave the piercing shop and head to the parking lot.

━━━━

the ride is silent until oikawa starts, "chinami-chan.."

i hum in response.

"canicometoyourhouseplease!" he blurts. why does he have so much interest in me?

i let out a sigh. "tomu, can he."

tsutomu nods without hesitation. it's not like i have anything to do anyways. and it's friday..

wait.

i just agreed to hangout with oikawa.

just oikawa.

should i text the others? mattsun did want another sleepover.

"tomu."

"yes, chinami."

"can we have another sleepover?"

a smile grows on tsutomu's face as he nods. i text the other boys to get ready. sleepover part two, i guess.

tsutomu first goes to oikawa's house so he can grab some clothes, then to the other boys houses.

opening the front door to my house and going to the living room, my parents were sitting down. my mother turns around at the sound of mattsun and makki laughing at a joke told in the car.

"welcome home, nami! and friends..!"

my father now turns around. he looks dead at oikawa. "tooru. i need to talk to you.. alone."

oh god.

oikawa nods and makes his way to the couch. the rest of us go upstairs and i lead them to my room first.

"what do you think he's talking about?" makki questions.

i shrug. "maybe he hates oikawa as much as i do."
