Matthias loves Halloween. It's a time for fun and mischief and that's really what he's all about at his core. And who does he have the most fun with? His boyfriend, Seong. To whom he sent a text earlier in the day advising him to put on a costume, they were going party crashing tonight!

When he meets Seong outside the young man's apartment, Matthias is dressed in red velvet from head to toe. It's topped off with a pair of corny devil horns, a tail, and a plastic pitchfork. He truly considered just wearing a red leotard but... on the likely chance he and Seong decide to get frisky somewhere tonight, well, that would be hard to get in and out of quickly.

"C'mon! I mapped out where some of the best parties will be."

Halloween is a day that Seong's had a lot of mixed feelings about over the years. When he was a kid, he really enjoyed it. Dressing up, going out and seeing other people's fun costumes, going door to door to collect candy from strangers, then going back home and helping to fill treat bags with that candy so your mom and dad could give it to other children. He loved it until he found out that last part was an experience unique to him among his group of friends. Mom was just weird about letting Seong take food from strangers so there was always a few treats at home for Seong that mom went out to buy herself, while whatever Seong brought home was given to other kids. His sister included. It sorta took the wind out of his Halloween sails.

And then he got older and started going to Halloween parties with his friends instead. His enjoyment of those was all over the place. Some he enjoyed well enough, some he actively hated. Sometimes he joined the party about as much as Seong joins any party (which isn't much but), sometimes he ended up sitting in the corner alone, scrolling on his phone, and sometimes he ended up in the corner not so alone.

He knows that it's not actually Halloween that's the culprit here, but association is a funny thing sometimes. Maybe spending the night crashing parties with Matthias will have him thinking more positively about Halloween again.

Though he was given a good amount of notice, Seong's costume still looks pretty thrown together. Which is accurate because that's exactly what he did. He's got a pot on his head that has long since been destined for the trash and a piece of cardboard stapled to an old shirt that just has the word 'HOLE' written on it in black Sharpie. Pot hole. It's funny!

Stepping out of his apartment, Seong has to just take a moment to look over Matthias. Some people look really tacky in head to toe velvet but Matthias looks amazing. Not that Seong's particularly surprised. And the accessories just really sell it. If possible, Seong's just found a whole new level of attraction to his boyfriend.

"One second." Seong wraps his arms around Matthias and presses his face against his boyfriend's chest. He's so soft to go along with how wonderfully warm he always is. He nuzzles against Matthias' velvety chest for a bit before finally releasing him. "Okay. I'm ready now."

Mathias blinks when Seong steps out and then snorts a laugh, definitely amused by his boyfriend's choice of costume. Who cares if it's thrown together if it's still funny? Not this demon! Err, rather devil for the night!

Maybe someday this whole actually liking your boyfriend will get old to them. But it's not this day! The little pause to nuzzle leave Matthias smiling for a whole different reason. Only when Seong pulls away does Matthias drop an arm over his shoulder, a common gesture when they're out together. A way to show the world that Seong is his at a glance.

"Had to mark your territory first, hm?"

Maybe it will, but Seong hopes it never does. He hopes it always stays fresh and exciting, and that it never grows stale. He wants to always be absolutely enamoured with just how much he actually likes Matthias. He smiles when the weight of Matthias' arm drops across his shoulders and he presses himself in close to Matthias' side.

"Mhm. Sounds like we're gonna be around a lot of people tonight, which means a lot of opportunity for men and women to come sniffing around you. They should know that you're my boyfriend. You're mine." As though Seong plans to spend much time away from Matthias tonight. He doesn't really plan to allow people much chance to even think that Matthias is alone.

Well, Matthias will just have to be extra charming to ensure he gets to see just a few of Seong's warning glances at would-be suitors. It does so charm him when Seong's possessive. Does he realize there's no danger of Matthias picking another over him (at present)? Maybe there is. He did tell Seong the day they officially met that he's walk away from whomever he was with at the time for him. In his defense, Matthias was already halfway out that door.

"I guess you'll just have to stay very close, then, hm?"

The problem (depending on how one looks at it) is that Seong doesn't realize that. He doesn't know that he's in no real danger of losing Matthias to someone else right now. Matthias walked away from someone else for him, so why wouldn't he walk away from him for someone else? It's only a matter of time, right? But that doesn't mean Seong has to make it easy for anyone trying to swoop in and take Matthias before their time together has run its course. He's never done this for anyone before but he's not going down without a fight.

"Attached at the hip, all night."

A wicked little smile pulls at his lips and Matthias raised his brows at Seong's word choice.

"My favorite place to be attached to you," he comments.

He likes that Seong is clingy when they're together. He likes that Seong reminds him that he's clingy without being annoying about it when they're apart. Matthias likes reminding Seong that Seong is his, too. He enjoys meeting Seong's intensity.

"We're starting just up the block. It's a nice house so I'm sure we'll find a fun little corner to hide in."

That wicked little smile earns Matthias a smirk in return. Seong knows exactly what he said. He knows how it was worded and therefore how it came across. Exactly how he meant it to.

"My favourite place to be attached to you too."

Seong tries really hard to keep his clinginess from being too overbearing. He tries really hard to not be that person. It's a delicate balance. Being clingy as a way to show Matthias how important he is to him, how much he wants and needs to be near him. How much he appreciates the other's company. And it's a way to show others that Matthias is taken. It's a way to let everyone know that Matthias is his boyfriend. He worries no one would believe it otherwise.

"Finding corners to hide in with you is gonna be a lot of fun. This has good potential for the best Halloween, you know." He tips his head up to press a quick kiss to Matthias' cheek. "Okay, let's get to our first party."

And if Matthias turns his head at the last second to land that kiss on his lips? Whatchu gonna do, Seong?

"Stay close. I need everyone to know you're mine." He pulls Seong flush against his side to reiterate that fact. "I might bite if anyone tries to flirt with you."

Horror of horrors. A last second kiss from his boyfriend. What cruel fate! It actually takes Seong a little by surprised, as evidenced by the wide-eyed blinking at Matthias, followed closely by a smile.

"Like I said, I'll be attached to you all night. I'm not going anywhere." His smile brightens considerably at Matthias' possessiveness. It makes him smile every time he comes out. It makes him feel special. Absolutely incredible, actually.

Seong looks at Matthias with the tiniest pout. "Can I be the one you bite?"

Seong's life is terrible. How does he cope with it?

But Seong's surprise, however slight or momentary is worth it. A jaunty, lopsided grin of satisfaction settles on Matthias' face.

"I'll only bite you if you flirt back with someone. I only punish behavior I don't want to see."
