The crisp October air carried the unmistakable scent of fallen leaves, pumpkins, and something sweet. Halloween had arrived in full swing, and the streets of Musutafu were alive with the sounds of laughter and the rustling of costumes. Kids darted from door to door, eager for candy, while adults stood outside, watching the festivities unfold. In the midst of it all, Izuku walked beside you, his hand clasped warmly around yours.

He was dressed in his All Might costume again, though this time it was a much more refined version—complete with perfectly fitted foam muscles and a brilliant cape that flowed behind him. His green eyes sparkled with excitement, but there was also a hint of nervousness, something that always seemed to linger in his demeanor, especially when he was with you. It had been a few months since the two of you had started dating, and while Izuku was as kind and thoughtful as ever, you could tell he still got a little flustered when it came to moments like this—spending holidays together, sharing quiet moments.

"Y-You look amazing," he stammered, cheeks already flushed from the cold or perhaps from the sight of you in your costume. He gave you a shy, lopsided grin as he adjusted his mask slightly. "I mean, you always do, but tonight especially. I’m really glad we get to spend this together."

Walking side by side, you explored the neighborhood, taking in the glowing jack-o'-lanterns, the elaborate haunted houses, and the children racing around in their own costumes. Izuku’s hand remained firmly in yours, his thumb occasionally brushing your skin as if to reassure himself that you were still there, still with him. It was a small gesture, but it spoke volumes of how much he cared for you.

“Do you want to stop by that haunted house?” he asked, pointing to a large, creepy-looking building covered in cobwebs and eerie purple lights. His voice wavered slightly, but there was a determined glint in his eyes.
