Halloween Costume
It’s the first day of October when Kelly starts adding Halloween decorations around Em’s house. The older rapper has seen Kelly’s house all decked out for fall, and even helped with putting some of the Halloween stuff out, last time they were there. He was expecting the transformation of his house to be gradual, like Kelly was when he added things for fall, but no.
Em woke up that morning to see that Kelly wasn’t in bed. The older rapper almost always woke up before his boyfriend, so him not being there was strange. Getting out of bed, Em went to the bathroom to take a piss and brush his teeth before he hunts down his wayward blond. When drying his hands, he notices that the towels are new. After a closer look, Em notices the dancing skeletons on the border.
As he makes his way down stairs Em notices more decoration. Overnight there were little bats and ghosts all over his house. There were new pumpkins on his steps. Jack-o-lanterns of all kinds, on the main floor. A set of skeletons posed like they were dancing, on a hall table.
Em starts to worry about what he has gotten himself into. He finally finds Kelly in the kitchen (also with new décor in it) cooking something. He walks up behind the blond, wrapping his arms around his waist, startling Kelly.
“You’ve been busy Princess.”
The blond turns around in his arms and has an apron over his pajamas. “Yeah. I was so excited for October I woke up early and started decorating.”
When Kelly turns back to the stove, Em peeks around him to see he is cooking a giant omelet.
“I was going to surprise you with breakfast in bed, but since you are ready up, I guess we can just eat down here. Mind grabbing the plates? It’s almost done.”
Em kisses the spot between Kelly’s shoulder blades, before grabbing plates and utensils. While Kelly serves up the food, Em notices that the apron he is wearing looks kinda like a witch’s dress.
As they eat breakfast, they chat about their plans for the day, and other things that come to mind. About halfway through Kelly brings up Halloween.
“Em what do you want to dress up as for Halloween?”
“What do you mean?”
“Do you have anything in mind for your costume this year?”
“I was just going to be the same thing as last year.”
“What was that?” Kelly asks, with a frown.
“Me.”
“You dress up as yourself.”
“Yeah.”
“Dude that’s not a costume. It’s lazy and lame.” Kelly says with exaggerated hand gestures.
Em starts to get defensive. “What do you mean lame?”
“Like you can be anything, and you just put on your normal clothes. You're not even another version of yourself. Like you could play up the rap god thing, or like you from a music video, but no.” Realizing the blond wasn’t intentionally insulting him, more his unimaginative ‘costume’, Em relaxes a bit, but is still a little mad.
“Listen Kelly. I get that you love Halloween, but for me it’s only okay.” Em states snippety.
“What?” Kelly whispers.
“I like the spooky and scary, but I’m not into the whole dress up part.”
“Oh okay.” Kelly gets a sad look on his face, and looks back down at his food, pushing it around his plate.
Now frustrated Em asks, “Why? What’s the big deal?”
“It’s nothing. Don’t worry about it.” Kelly says as he grabs his plate, having lost his appetite. He moves to stand when Em grabs his elbow.
“Stop it. Why are you upset?”
“It’s stupid.”
“Don’t care.”
Sighing Kelly sets his plate back down. “Fine. I thought we could go out together to parties and stuff, and if we are in costumes then few people bother us and stuff.”
Em thinks about what Kelly just said. The blond basically wanted to go out with Em, and not be bothered by people.
“Alright Princess. I will dress up this year, but only on a few conditions. One you have to come up with the costumes. Two, I have the right to veto stupid ones. Three, if this is shit I don’t have to do it next year. Four, we will try it out at Uncle Elton’s party. Sound fair.”
Looking Em in the eye, Kelly looks a little less upset. “But you really don’t want to do it. I don’t want you to do something you don’t want to.”
“Yeah but you are, and this way you have to deal with all the hassle. Who knows I may not mind it now, since it’s been years since I dressed up.” Em doesn’t say but thinks ‘I will make you happy dumbdumb.’ Also the idea of his blond going out with someone else puts a sour taste in his mouth.
Kelly lets a small smile grace his face. “It’s a deal.”

Coming up with the perfect costume for EM is hard. Kelly has been racking his brain for days trying in vain to think of the perfect costume.
He was thinking of maybe Spider-man, but it’s over done, and the mask can be uncomfortable. Same problem with most horror movie monsters. The Punisher was another idea, but Kelly wanted to be able to dress up as something to complement Em’s costume.
The idea of Em as Batman wasn’t bad, and he could go as Superman, or even Catwoman. Em would probably love him in a leather catsuit, but the goal was to get Em to wear the costume out, and that wouldn’t happen if he wears that.
They could go as Alucard and Tevor Belmont from the Netflix show, but would Em be okay with a couples costume.
He could wimp out, and do a Rap God thing for Em, and he could go as the Devil, but he really didn’t want to.
Kelly sits on the couch, scrolling through his phone for inspiration, turns on the tv for some background noise. He looks up to see what is on, and Kelly sees the perfect costumes for him and Em. He quickly starts looking up websites for the things he will need, while the movie plays in the background.

It will be a little trick to get Em to agree to the costume, but Kelly has a plan. He waits until everything for both of their costumes arrive, about mid October. He picks a day where Em is going to be in his office, so he won’t be interrupted while getting ready.
Kelly starts by getting his nail painted red then jumps in the shower, making sure to use the soap with the scent Em loves, then shaves basically everything but the hair on top of his head. Kelly steps out of the shower nice and clean, and now smooth. After toweling off, and putting lotion, he moves to the makeup he bought especially for this. First the white powder, to make his skin super light, like a dead body, next the eyes. Black eyeliner, black eyeshadow in his crease, and finished up with some black mascara. He darkens his eyebrow, and then uses the finishing spray to set everything, saving the lipstick for later.
Kelly walks into the bedroom, to the clothes he laid out on the bed. Grabbing the black panties, he slides them up, over his legs, until they are sitting perfectly on his hips, before doing the same with the stockings, he got. Finally Kelly moves to his actual costume. It was hard to find one for someone his height which is kinda ironic considering who he was dressing up as. He unzips the back, steps into the slinky, black material, pulling it up, before putting his arm through the long sleeves. Kelly struggles a little zipping up the back, but gets it. The blond checks himself out in the mirror, making sure everything looks right, and is pleased seeing no panty lines in his skin tight dress. He tugs at the deep v neck line a bit, and once satisfied he grabs the wig and wig cap. Getting them on is easy, getting them to sit how he wants is hard. The long black hair gives him some trouble but, Kelly eventually gets it how he wants, pins it in place. Going back to the bathroom, Kelly lines his lips and puts on his bright red lipstick, double checking his makeup before leaving.
All Kelly needs now is his shoes. He chose his black Louboutin heels. No one will see them under his floor length dress but Em will know once he tells him and that will be a point in his favor.
Kelly makes his way to Em’s office. Knocking softly, waiting for the okay to enter.
When he enters the room, Em doesn’t even look up from his notepad, to ask him what he wants.
Smirking Kelly opens his mouth, and using the velvety voice, he asks, “Gomez, dear, are you almost done?”
Snapping his head up, Em is gobsmacked. Whatever he was going to say dies in his throat as he took in Kelly’s appearance. The sleek black dress hugs the blonde’s slender form beautifully, the long black wig frames his face making his deep red lips stand out even more.
Walking over to his boyfriend, Em notices that Kelly is even taller than normal.
Em grabs the back of Kelly’s neck, bringing him down for a kiss.
“The Addams family. I like the idea.”
******
Later that evening , Kelly's costume is strewn around their bedroom, both are on bed, in a post-coital cuddle.
“So you are going as Morticia?”
“Yeah.”
“And I’m going to be Gomez?”
“Yeah.”
“What about my beard?”
…
“Fuck.”
