Summary: One year ago at a Halloween party they got together. And now, one year later, will they break up?



There was noise around him, people laughing and chatting in the garden, looking at a firework above them. They were going nuts. It’s not like any of them usually was celebrating Halloween, but apparently people would take any opportunity to have a party.

Just Ryo felt strangely awkward with it. And lonely. Though this was one of Hina’s legendary parties and he knew basically everyone here.

It still felt off.

“It’s nice here, right?”

Ryo didn’t answer to that question, but when the other didn’t move away, he frowned slightly. “What are you doing here, Pi?”

“I thought you might be lonely…”

“Why should I be lonely here?” Ryo’s eyes were sparkling in slight anger. He didn’t need the other to point out how he felt right now. Besides, he was not alone here… right in front of him Maru was table dancing, stripping out of his witch costume. (A ridiculous costume by the way. The other had discussed it for hours, wondering where the hell he found it)

“Maru’s an idiot.”

“Yeah,” Ryo huffed. “But he is not the only idiot here. At least he is nice.”

Pi sighed nervously. “Listen, I’m sorry…”

“It’s a lie,” Ryo shook his head, feeling tired all of a sudden. “You always say that and still you go and break your promises. And then suddenly, you even cheat on me.”  He still felt mad and disappointed, but he didn’t pull his hand away when Pi took it.

“But I love you. What about you? Do you love me?”

“Yes, that’s the problem. It would be easier if I didn’t love you.”

“We can work this out,” Pi said soothingly, his thumb rubbing Ryo’s palm. “Here, I made this for you.”

Ryo blinked at the little pendant in Pi’s hand. It was made out of wood, and painted. I looked like a little smiling pumpkin and a date was written on it. If Pi made this himself, it meant that he had put a lot of work into this. “You remembered our anniversary?”

“Of course,” Pi grinned. “Last year, same date, same place. When Subaru served his glowing cold punch with gummy worms in it and we were drinking too much of it.”

Against his intention Ryo had to smile. “You were throwing up the whole night.”

“And you held my head.”

“Yes, I did.”

“Can’t we just forget what happened? Can’t we move on?”

Actually Ryo wanted to say no, pull his hand away and not go back to this messed up relationship, a place where they had to work so hard to make it work again. He wasn’t even sure if it ever really was a working and balanced relationship.

He wanted to tell that Pi, but he couldn’t. Feeling his fingers around his hand gave him such a warm and comfortable feeling.

Right in front of him Subaru was preparing his new Halloween-disgusting-worm-Cocktail creation and Ryo just had to remember last year, how everything began.

So, he didn’t pull his hand away. He didn’t nod either, but his hand remained there, squishing Pi’s slightly.
