It was Halloween night—the one time of year when everyone could wear whatever they wanted without any judgment. Your best friend had gone all out, dressing as Raven, while her boyfriend suited up as Beast Boy. You, on the other hand, showed up alone, dressed up as Selina Kyle — Catwoman.

At a Halloween party hosted by one of your classmates, you were casually sipping on some punch when you felt a hand rest on your shoulder. You turned to see a guy dressed as Batman, which brought an amused smile to your lips.

“New around here?” He asked. You couldn’t see his face behind the mask, but his voice carried a hint of familiarity.

Before you could respond, another voice cut in with a laugh. “Jaxon, quit flirting with everyone, dude!” You turned and spotted Jace, and in that moment, it all clicked. The guy in the Batman costume was Jaxon—your ex-boyfriend, the one you broke up with six months ago.

“Seriously, Jace? Shut it!” Jaxon grumbled, brushing off his friend before turning back to you with a smirk. “So, what’s your name, beautiful?” He purred, his hand drifting to your waist, completely oblivious to the fact that it was you behind the mask.
