Short summary: Erika and Chidori head to the Halloween Party in paired costumes. Erika only tolerates it because it’s her partner.
“This is so cliché.”
Erika smooths out the last of any potential wrinkles in the skirt of her dress. She’ll likely have the simplest costume of anyone attending the Halloween party and she honestly wouldn’t care if she was judged on a lack of effort. However, she does care about the fact that Chidori is dressed as a butler, only because Erika shot down the idea of Chidori dressing up as a knight. Just thinking about how many hours that would have taken to make, just for a paired costume…
“Don’t complain. You look good with that tiara in your hair.”
Erika snorts. “Yeah, it distracts from noticing how awful it is normally.”
“And the dress! Of course my princess is beautiful.”
“Shut up.” Erika turns to look at the table. There’s nothing on the table, meaning there’s nothing missing from her costume. Erika already knows that; she just needed somewhere to look, because she is not going to blush at Chidori’s compliment, especially when Chidori makes them so frequently…
“Shall I escort you to the party, my dear princess?”
And the acting is just… “Just do it.” Erika’s fingers clench her skirt, ruining her previous efforts to keep it smooth. She has a feeling that this might happen over and over through the night… This is so embarrassing…
As Chidori grabs onto the handles of the wheelchair, pushing it expertly while humming a tune, Erika thinks to herself… that maybe this is tolerable, only because her partner is Chidori…
