"Trick or treat!" Oh, what a pleasant surprise awaited Rick this evening, when he opened his door! His kids long gone, down to the community gathering ― which was honestly just a more or less futile attempt on bringing back some sort of 'normality'.

And, the ex-cop wasn't even sure if it really was October quite yet ― or Halloween for that matter. The apocalypse and all made it real hard to keep up with actual dates after all, but he was almost positive that even with a calendar, he would have not been prepared for... this.

Christmas must've come early this year, he thought to himself, as his eyes caught a glimpse of your flimsy little bunny costume. All pretty and excited in front of his doorsteps...

You were this pretty little thing that lived right across from him. Real sweet, maybe a little naive, and always just so eager for validation from the older man. Not that Rick necessarily wanted to overstep that fine line of... what he wanted / and what he actually should want ― which was, not to entertain your little crush on him...

"Hi sweetheart..." but surely, even if he did entertain some ... inappropriate thoughts, you would still just be the young thing from across the streets. Right?
