Happy Halloween

Leon sighed weakly, shuffling weakly to the left and right, keeping his eyes down on the floor. He didn’t really like parties. He didn’t drink alcohol, and dancing was something he stayed far away from. The people at the party all felt familiar, but he’d never met any of them. He looked up at Natalie, the titanic, dark-skinned girl smiling brightly back down at Leon, forcing the short office worker to smile, despite himself. He just wished his costume was less embarrassing.

Natalie danced, laughed, and flirted with everyone and everything in the room, eyes half closed from her excessive use of the complimentary drinks at the party, but she was having a glorious time out with her special little friend, Leon.  She looked down at her costume with a laugh, and smiled, adjusting her Jacket slightly. Natalie was dressed as Ash Ketchum, one of her favorite anime characters, having even gone so far as to get a short, pointy haircut just for the occasion, sporting a blue jacket, a cap, jeans, and running shoes, as well as a belt adorned with pokeballs. She giggled down at her companion, Leon. “I choose you!” She suddenly cried, loudly and drunkenly. “Pikachu!” And with a kick to his small behind, Leon, dressed as a Pikachu, was thrust into the middle of the dance floor.

Leon looked all around, face rapidly heating to a bright red. “….F-Fucking…P-Pikachu…” he mumbled, desperately embarrassed as he tried to dance, knowing refusing Natalie’s request would be…messy.

It was going to be a long night.
