Together

Side Chapter: First Halloween

"Aww yisssss." Fuutarou said happily. "Love me some Almond Joys and Mounds!" Fuutarou chortled.

Y/N shuddered in disgust for his friends delight of the unsavory treat. "Bro, honestly...how can you even eat those...?" He asked as Fuutarou chuckle.

"Well, its actually not that hard, really." Fuutarou explained. "First, I have to peel the wrapper off the candy bar. Second, I have to stick the candy bar in my mouth. Third, I have to chew it. Fourth, I swallow..."

"I bet you do..." Y/N interrupted, laughing at his own joke.

Fuutarou groaned disapprovingly. "Gross..." he said. "You're the one who asked, genius..." he said with irritation.

"Yeah and I got a smart alec response in return." Y/N said flatly. "What I meant was: how can you possibly eat those things like they're the last food on earth? Coconut is disgusting!" Y/N said, shuddering at the feeling of chewing on coconut.

Fuutarou gasped loudly. "I take major offense to that!!!" He exclaimed. "Coconut is wondeful! You just don't know how to appreciate it, is all!"

Y/N rolled his eyes. "It sucks. It sucks alot. And there's nothing you can say or do that'll ever get me to change my mind, nor my opinion on it. End of story." He said firmly.

Fuutarou remained silent for a few moments before letting out a long, drawn out sigh. "Fine. Fair enough." He said. "Besides, you hating Almond Joys and Mounds bars just means that there's more for me so it's probably actually best for me to not get you to like these..." he said.

"Trust me, bro." Y/N said. "I can promise you right now, that that is something you'll never have to worry about. Anyway, I need to get going. I want to change into my outfit and get out and about before it gets too late." He said. "Maybe I'll hit up that carnival and haunted house that our school is putting on."

Fuutarou let out a loud, cringing drone. "Oh God...that lame thing?" He asked. "C'mon dude. Don't waste your money on that. You and I both know it's going to be a cringey disaster."

"Well, I'm sure it will be. But given that my plans just completely went out the window, my itinerary is now wide open and I need something to do tonight. And need I remind you that the carnival and haunted house are free? Not like I'd be wasting money on anything." He said sharply. "I'd rather have cringe than nothing at all."

Fuutarou hesitated for a few moments. "...Why do I get the feeling that you're trying to put the entire blame of this on me...?" He said cautiously.

Y/N deadpanned. "Because I am." Y/N said sweetly. "Anyway, I'm out. I'll let you know what's up."

"Sounds good to me." Fuutarou said. "Make sure to get lots of candy and stay safe out there, dude."

Y/N chuckled. "Oh please..." he scoffed. "When am I not safe? Even your mom compliments me on how cautious I am with the outside world. She stands to think that you could learn a thing or two from me." He said with a big grin on his face.

"Tsk...yeah right...if the entire world was as cautious as you, it wouldn't be any fun" Fuutarou said. "Have a fun night bro, and happy Halloween."

"You too, Fuutarou." Y/N said as he hung up.
The young man plopped himself down on his couch with a loud groan and stared at the ceiling for a good while, grunting in annoyance. 'Jerk...' he thought to himself. 'Now who on Earth am I supposed to go with...?'

He was suddenly pulled out of his thoughts by the sound of a loud *thump* hitting against the wall that he shared with quintuplets. It it was also, coincidentally, the sound the idea made when it slammed through his mind.
