    Halloween. Your favourite night of the year.

    Usually, you go all out, normally dressing up in a duo costume with one of your friends, but this year, you were practically forced into your costume.

    You see, this Halloween night you would be spending at an arena watching four of your best friends, Josh, Eli, Ryan and Bobby, performing in their band Inhaler.

    Inhalerween is what they had called it.

    Eli, Ryan and Josh had hassled you since they found out about the show to dress up as a certain person. Their choice baffled you slightly. Nancy Spungen. Also known as Sid Vicious’ girlfriend.

    Even though the three had picked your outfit, they kept theirs under wraps, claiming it to be for “shock factor”, but the way they all practically jumped on Bobby when he almost lets it slip what he is going to be dressed as had you slightly suspicious.

    But alas, you went along with it. You bought all of the items needed for Nancy’s most iconic outfit. Ripped fishnets, an oversized black and white striped, fluffy jumper which acted more as a dress as it reached your upper thigh, her handcuff belt, a lock necklace around your neck and to top it off, you absolutely lathered your eyes in black eyeshadow.

    The boys ulterior motive became all too clear to you upon your arrival to the arena. You had gone back stage to meet up with them before their show, which was when you finally saw their outfits.

    Eli was dressed as Elvis.

    Josh as Phil Lynott.

    Ryan was David Bowie.

    And Bobby? He was Sid fucking Vicious.

    The look on his face mirrored yours almost exactly when seeing eachothers outfits.

    Those little shits have always done stuff like this. Trying everything they can think of to pair you and Bobby up in sneaky ways you could never even think of. And this time, they actually did it. And they have the smug looks on their faces to prove it.
