Trick or Trick!

“Trigger! It’s Halloween! That’s totally not fair! I want to go get some free candy!”

“What part of I don’t go to Arcanum Sucrem anymore do you not understand, Blu?”

The fallen Sweetical teeth were bared as he spoke of his home planet while the minicals' tail lashed back and forth.

“Free CANDY, TRIGGER!!”

With a growl, Trigger gave his response: “If you want to go that badly then go yourself.”

“We both know that Cross won’t let me borrow a whole ship just for myself! It’s not a good use of supplies!”

“Then tough luck,” As Trigger was speaking, a chime came from the intercom, someone was at their door.

Trigger let them in and found Crimson standing on the other side, his long red hair neatly styled.

“Crim? You could’ve just come in. You have the access.”

Crimson smiled a hint of laughter in his voice. “It sounded like you were busy. I didn’t want to interrupt.”

“Oh. Sorry about that.” Trigger’s face was red in embarrassment as he let Crim into his home unit.

When Limon-Blu saw the guest he ran over his claws tapping on the floor and immediately started to whine.

“Crimson! Trigger won’t take me to get free candy!”

The minical ran into the guests arms, who really picked them up replying as if they were speaking to a child.

“Awww… how mean of him. Maybe I can change his mind though.” Putting the minical down, Crim continued, “Why don’t you go check our supplies real quick, I’m pretty sure we’re getting low on some things, we can pick them up while we’re out.”

Trigger raised an eyebrow at the pair as Blu ran out of the dweling.

“Crim, you know I hate that planet. Also they all think I’m DEAD, remember?”

The redhead nodded, listening patiently as Trigger continued.

“I don’t think it’s a good idea, when there are other places to get supplies.”

“That’s right. There are better places for us to get supplies; however, at the same time, aren’t you homesick at all?”

“This is my home.” Triggers barked before frowning, seemingly feeling bad about snapping at his lover.

Crimson took the Sweeticals hands and softly replied, “I know.”

They looked each other in the eyes for a moment before Trigger spoke.

“If you REALLY want to see the planet, I’ll go.”

“Vain, I won’t make you go. However, maybe while we’re there, we can get some of your favorites. Surely there’s treats you can only get there after all.”

The two of them shared a kiss before Trigger pulled away. “Well, you’re plenty sweet enough for me. But there’s still the issue of me being dead.”

Crimson chuckled. “Silly, it’s Halloween. We’ll wear costumes.”

Trigger laughed. “That’s right, ugh I should have thought of that.” “That’s what you have me for.” Crimson pecked his cheek before continuing, “Now let’s get all dressed up, before Limon-Blu returns.”

“Sounds like a plan.”

👻🎃———————🎃👻

The beard was itchy and he wasn’t a fan of his hair being dyed like this, by far though, the eye patch was the most annoying; it hindered his field of view far too much.

Luckily, this costume would prevent most people from being able to recognize him.

With a sigh, he turned and looked at his pirate costume. It was satisfactory, he supposed.

“Sorry for the wait, Vain, there were a lot more straps than I thought.”

“It’s fine, Blu isn’t even…”

He trailed off when his eyes landed on Crimson.

The usually conservative clothing that they normally wore had been replaced with a Devil costume that featured a black color scheme. Boy shorts topped with a pentagram strap top finished with leather boots and gloves to match.

Crimson blushed. “I hope this is an okay costume.”

“Of course! It looks fantastic on you.”

The two of them blushed and stammered for words until Blu returned and ruined the moment.

“Wooooow, you two are as red as a cherry tart! Just what were you two doing while I was gone, hmmmm?”

The minical’s smug facial expression turned to panic as Trigger grabbed him by the scruff.

“Oi! Put me down! I’m not to be manhandled! I’m a grown ass minical!”

He flailed his limbs about angrily as Trigger spoke.

“Keep your snide comments to yourself, you little bloodsucker and I’ll let you go with us.”

“WHAT!? It was MY idea to go in the first place!”

“Then you better behave.”

Blu glared at the Sweetical but nodded regardless.

Crimson smiled as Trigger placed Blu back on the ground. “Hopefully we can get along for the rest of our trip now?”

The other two nodded before the group departed for the ship taking them to Arcanum Sucrem.
