it was a graveyard smash

[wickedgraceless]

[ Cullen was not the sort to do couple's costumes. Scratch that-- he was not the sort to do costumes in general, but when Daenerys had given him that look and had asked him to, who was he to say no? As far as costumes went, he supposes this isn't too bad-- it's not terribly far off from what he might wear otherwise, a flannel and jeans, though now ripped and spattered with fake blood. He'd even gone and let her add some extra adornment, make up that she had sworn made him look "wolfish", though he thinks it just makes him look silly. Still, if it makes her happy, he's sure he can suffer it for one night.

That one night has brought them to 'Tranquility Fields', or for the season, 'Tran-kill-ity Fields'. He can't help but feel they're both too old for traipsing through corn mazes and haunted houses. But it's all in good fun, and at the very least, he thinks he can have a little fun on Halloween night. The entrance to the attraction is filled with people-- all in costume, most with far more effort than Cullen has put into his-- and he swoops up behind her, curling his arms around her waist. ]

Hey, Little Red. [ Cullen says it with the best growl he can manage, dipping his head to press a kiss to her neck. ] Are you sure you're not too scared? There's still time to turn away.

[ This was going to be the first Halloween Daenerys actually dressed up. Bouncing around from one aloof relative to the next didn't make for exciting holidays, and her brother... well, she and Viserys had very different ideas of how to have fun. But this year, with Cullen? She was wholeheartedly going to take advantage of the opportunity to have a good time.

Bless his heart for actually indulging her.

She waits outside the haunt in her red, hooded cape, a prop basket on the crook of her arm. Leave it to Cullen to give her a fright on Halloween, and she yelps when arms suddenly close around her, drawing her back against her boyfriend's chest.

Surprise melts into a warm laugh, and she reaches back to scratch behind his ear – mindful of the makeup. ]

I'm sure you'll find this Little Red more than brave enough for such a frightening place.

[ She turns in his arms, beaming up at him. ]

Don't you look quite the monster tonight?

[ He hadn't been meaning to scare her, but he can't help but laugh at her little yelp, low and rumbling. His own misgivings about all this aside, he can't complain too much when she looks at him like that. Cullen leans into her touch, finding it surprisingly pleasant. He lets himself enjoy it for a moment before jerking back with a mock indignant expression. ]

If I do, it's only thanks to you.

[ Cullen grins down at her, wolfish in a way that compliments his attire. ]

Don't be afraid to hang on to me if it's too scary.
