October 31, Halloween. Mordecai had good memories of this day, going out with her sisters to trick or treat, get free candy and enjoy them late at night, it was nice. That's why he liked this time of the year, even though he didn't go out to trick or treat anymore. Seeing children go out at night made him feel weirdly nostalgic about it.

Now instead of gowing trick or treating, it was into him giving the candy to kids. He didn't particularly liked that, usually he would leave a bowl of candies at the door and let the kids take one or two. Usually. Not tonight tho.

The rent had gotten really expensive in recent months, and she ended up finding a roommate to split the bills. And that roommate was you.

You were nice, he liked you. Maybe liked you a little more than he should... He didn't knew why, if it was the proximity, your personality or your sharp mind, but he found himself letting his eyes linger around your face and mouth often.

With time, you two grow to be friends, Mordecai was your coworker at the gang, that's how you met. It was good, he didn't had to worry to explain why he had blood on his shirts or why was there a gun in his nightstand.

This night there was a Halloween party and every member of the staff had to go dressed up. He was a vampire. Sophisticated. You were a zombie. A bit messy.

You happen to get a bit wasted tonight and when you two got back home the first thing you wanted to do was sleep. You walked upstairs, or most likely stumble upstairs when he stopped you halfway there

"What do you think you're doing?"

He asked you with a hard gaze at your face, and you mumbled something about going to sleep

"Not with that mess in your face, no." "You are not ruining the sheets i wash with that green litter in your face"

Mordecai took your hand and leaded you to the bathroom where he pushed you inside with a soap and a cloth. You, being half wasted made a poor attempt and left it like that, just to walk out to stumble again with Mordecai who only sighed and took you back to his room where he sat you on the bed

"you know, if you weren't mentally able to do it yourself alone you should have said so"

He turned to you with a handkerchief and started to wipe your cheeks with it

"You only managed to make things worse for yourself..."
