*Halloween Special*

"Babe, do I really need to wear this crusty outfit?" Carson held up the piece of fabric and eyed it with disgust.

Rio had thought it would be a good idea to dress up and celebrate Halloween this year, seen as though they had never celebrated it properly in previous years.

"Yes you do, now quit complaining you're making my ears bleed." She said as she threw the remains of his outfit that he needed to put on.

"You could have picked better costumes for us." He side-eyed his girlfriend as she tried to muffle her chuckles.

"We are dressing up as fluffy horses, I don't see what the big problem is?" She mumbled as she admired the outfit from afar. "I thought it'd be cute but I can always return-"

Before Rio could even finish her sentence, Carson cut her off. "No! No! I was just messing with you, I'll happily go as a fluffy horse if it makes you happy."

"It would make me very happy baby."

"Yo dude, what the fuck are you wearing?" Ben hyena laughed as he took in both Carson and Rio's costumes, to which Carson sent him an evil glare.

"It wasn't even my idea." He whined.

"That didn't answer my question." Ben crossed his arms and leaned back against the door frame. "I'm guessing it was this little lady's idea, am I right?"

Rio smirked in Ben's line of vision then mockingly curtsied. "All mine Ben and for your information we are dressed as Camels."

"Camels?"

"Camels! I thought I was dressed as a fluffy horse."

Rio let out a loud laugh at Carson's and Ben's reactions. She knew if she told Carson what they were going as, he would straight up refuse.

She told an incy wincy lie.

Carson let out a loud scoff and walked away into the crowd of many hormonal teenagers, in a mood from his girlfriend and best friend. He had just been played dirty by his own girlfriend.

Ben's eyes widened at his reaction and he turned to Rio with a 'Yikes' expression on his face. "Yeah Riri, I'd let him cool off for a while."

Rio was just shook, never had Carson been in a mood with her the whole two years they had been together. Of course they had their fair share of bickers but they were usually resolved by Carson kissing the living shit out of her.

"I wouldn't stress about it too much babe, he's just one very hormonal teenager." Ben wrapped his arm around his other best friend's shoulders.

"Oh I'm not worried, he'll come crawling back just you watch." Rio smirked.

2 hours later

"He didn't come crawling back did he?" Ben nudged Rio's arm as they both watched Carson from afar, drinking from a beer keg as many boys encouraged him to do so. Never in our two years together have they gone this long without talking and it's over a fucking camel suit.

Letting out a sigh, Rio rubbed her temples and carried on looking at her hilariously drunk boyfriend. "I can't even talk to him when he is like this, he gets too soppy and emotional-which on any other day I'd love but, not when he is drunk."

"Don't stress too much about it babe, he's probably just joking with you and your sensitive ass just can't take a joke." Ben chuckled before walking over to his best friend, who was already chugging another beer keg and removed it from his grasp.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa 'Mr I'm too cool to drink beer' give me back my keg and my girlfriend while you're at it, that you seem to be so keen to talk to." Carson prodded his index finger in Ben's chest.

"Hang on a sec dude, let's just get one thing clear I am gay." Ben emphasised on the word gay.

"Hay? Why are you laying in a sack of hay dude?" Carson's eyes widened at his best friend.

"Oh fuck this, Rio Francie Aidensfield get your butt over here and sort your boyfriend out please." Ben shouted over the loud music and constant chatter.

Rio pushed herself off the doorframe, where she had been stood for two hours keeping a close eye on her drunken boyfriend-she wasn't going to let him make a fool out of himself; not like he could ever do that in her eyes.

Carson's flickering eyes caught Rio's and a big smile adorned his face as she began walking in his line of eye. "Rio! My baby! My gorgeous girlfriend who I love too much what are you doing here?" He slurred as he stumbled towards her.

"Oh my golly gosh I didn't realise he drank this much, Ben what are we supposed to do? I simply cannot take him home like this?" Rio spoke in utter shock as she ignored Carson's question to which he pouted, crossed his arms and stomped his foot like a five year old having a temper tantrum.

"I have a solution."

"That is?"

"It involves fire."

"Absolutely not!" Rio screeched.

"Oo fire? Can I play with it?"

Thump.

Ben and Rio stood in thought planning the events for the rest of the night, not realising Carson had wandered off back to his group of buddies who were also very drunk.

"Yo dude, you going partying tonight?" One of his buddies slurred as they joined arms with Carson to which he replied. "Well Tom, I am going home and taking my pants off; that's a party in and of itself."

"Ew gross."

"Keep it pg James."

"Atta boy!"

Author's Note:

So I know Halloween has passed but I simply had to post a Halloween special. I know it's a short one and it's not related to the current book plot but, I wanted to show Carson and Rio's carefree side that happens to show with their friends.

I hope you enjoy!!
