Blake glared at Jace as he pulled her through the Halloween store.
"You do not understand how much I do not want to dress up."
"Oh come on! It'll be fun!"
"No, going to a Tony party will not be fun."
"Beautiful, you said okay when I asked."
"No, I only agreed because you were obnoxiously begging me in my ear until I agreed, two totally different things."
"Well you still agreed" he smiled at her.
She rolled her eyes. She didn't want to go to the stupid party. She wanted to stay home and eat candy while watching Halloween movies. But Jace just had to beg her to go to Tony's stupid party and say that they had to get couples costumes.
"How about a sexy cop and a-"
"No."
"Ba-"
"No. I am not wearing that."
He sighed and put the costumes back before going some more.
"There's Mike and Elev-"
"No, they are like fourteen in the show and we are eighteen. No way."
He sighed once more and kept moving along.
"How about an angel and devil."
"That's so original."
"And?"
"If you think I'm being the angel then you're real funny."
"Woody and Bo-"
"No."
"Blake you're saying no to all of them" Jace grumbled.
"Yeah cause they all suck."
She felt bad that she was being so difficult but the costumes were genuinely bad.
"Vampires?" Jace asked.
"Maybe."
"Really?" he asked happily.
"Yes."
They skimmed through more costumes, if they didn't find anything else they would be vampires.
"Theres Sandy and Danny."
She looked at them and shrugged, "maybe."
"Really?!"
"Yeah, you pick vampires or this one. I'm fine with either."
He grabbed the Sandy and Danny costumes in their size before purchasing it and leaving.
§
When the time came Blake tried putting on her costume but it didn't fit.
"For fuck sake" she grumbled.
"What?" Jace called out from the bathroom.
"The costume doesn't fit" she groaned.
"Are you serious?!"
"Yeah, but I'm sure there is something in my closet."
She looked through her closet and dresser and found a pair of leather pants that she has never worn. She most likely got them as a gift since she doesn't even remember buying it.
She put them on, them being a bit tight since they were too small but making her ass look bigger than it actually was. She found a tight black shirt and put her leather jacket on before curling her hair.
"You look hot" Jace commented from her bed.
She didn't say anything but focused on curling her hair. When she finished she pinned some of it back and did her makeup, with red lipstick this time. She placed her lip ring on her dresser and groaned.
"I'm wearing vans. I don't have heels."
"You look great either way" he smiled at her.
He was wearing black skinny jeans with a white v neck and a leather jacket that came with the costume.
"You need to gel your hair back."
"I don't have gel here."
Blake opened up her drawer to see her dad's gel that hasn't been touched since he had passed.
"I can use that?"
She blinked down at it, holding the case. It was going to waste but she also didn't want him using it even though she pulled it out.
"Just, use a little bit okay?"
He nodded and he put some gel in his hair before handing the container back to her.
"You ready?"
§
The party was in full swing when they arrived. Jace maneuvered his way through the people wearing all sorts of costumes as they made their way to the kitchen.
"Vodka coke?"
Blake nodded and Jace made them their drinks.
They danced for a while with their drinks in hand, enjoying themselves before going back to the kitchen to get a refill.
"I'm going to find Tony, want to come with?"
"I'll stay here."
He nodded and he gave her a kiss before walking off.
Blake sipped on her drink, standing in the corner of the kitchen for about ten minutes until someone bumped into her, some of her drink spilling and onto the floor.
"Asshole, watch where you're going" she spat.
"Sorry cutie" he smirked.
She rolled her eyes and took a big gulp out of her drink, noticing a funny taste in it.
Her eyes widened just a bit, noticing the jerk who bumped into her standing on the far side of the kitchen staring at her.
She dumped her cup in the sink and pushed her way through the crowd, needing to find Jace.
It wasn't until five minutes later she started feeling the affects of whatever the dickhead slipped into her drink. She stumbled a lot, and when she finally found Jace she practically fell into his arms being grateful she found him in time.
"Blake? You okay?"
"Looks like she had too much to drink" Tony chuckled.
Blake shook her head, her vision going blurry.
"Jerk... drugged" she slurred out.
Jace tightened his arms around her, "what did he look like?"
Her eyes squinted to try and see the faces and she pointed at the guy who was standing in the doorway of the kitchen staring at them intensely.
Tony pushed his way through the crowd towards the dude as Jace picked her up.
"I'm going to take you home Blake, okay?"
She didn't respond, her legs going completely limp as her head went side to side with his walking.
By the time Jace got to her house, she was already passed out. He picked her up gently and carried her to the room.
"You guys are back early" Susie said from the living room.
"Uh yeah, Blake was feeling a little tired."
"Oh alright, goodnight."
He placed her on her bed when they got there and she removed her makeup off her face gently. He grabbed a pair of sweats and a baggy t shirt before taking off her clothes.
Despite them dating and he has already seen her naked plenty of times he didn't put his eyes where they shouldn't have been when she was passed out.
When she was fully changed, he stripped down to his boxers before rinsing out the gel in the sink. He climbed in bed and she still laid limp on her mattress.
"I'm sorry bub, we should have just stayed home like you wanted" he sighed.
