James and Sirius, for today an accountant and a dentist, respectively, put the finishing touches on the Haunted Mansion (they had started the night before, and upon finding that in the morning their changes were still there, they had been quite pleased and finished up). Now that the room where the ceiling rose was magicked so that everyone would fit in it and still have plenty of space to move. On top of that, they had magically rewired the loudspeakers to the room, put up some spooky decorations, and even completed it with fake, scary looking ghosts (they had both been quite disappointed in the morning to discover that some of their ruder decorations, including hot, naked ghosts, were removed).

Then, James began to write the letters, and started some music.



Crowley,

We're throwing a party at the Haunted Mansion. Do you think you could provide refreshments? Feel free to come as well.

- James Potter and Sirius Black

Then, identical letters were sent out to everyone in the park.

Hey,

There will be a Halloween party at the Haunted Mansion in New Orlean's Square. Come around and have a great time. Also, if you have drinks or food that you want to bring to share, feel free.

- James Potter and Sirius Black

On the bottom of the paper, there's a witch flying on a broom, actually moving around on the paper.

"I'm not," Fay insisted. "I'm not. I don't want you get hurt at all." He was terrified of Kurogane getting any injury more serious than a papercut on his behalf, franky: Fay did not think he was worth it at all.

"You are." Kurogane paused for a moment, closed his eyes and sighed, continuing more quietly. "Because if something happened to you, and I didn't- couldn't- do anything... It'd hurt a hell of a lot more than some physical injury."

He was silent for a moment, then finally added, "I couldn't handle that."

Sometimes it still scared Fay how much he meant to Kurogane. He couldn't handle it. He could handle Kurogane meaning so much to him, but having someone who would get hurt for him just because he was him...

"Please take care of yourself," Fay whispered. "I'm not worth you losing your life, or your leg, or your arm, or an eye, or anything like that."

"I will," Kurogane said, voice solemn. "As long as I don't lose you... Which means I'm not gonna die." He took Fay's hand, raised it to his lips. "We'll be okay."

Fay let go of Kurogane's hand in favour of flinging his arms around the other man and hugging him tightly. "Promise," he ordered.

Kurogane hesitated, just a moment, then wrapped his arms around Fay in return. Public displays of affection still left him at a bit of a loss, but he wasn't actually embarrassed by them anymore--unless of course he got teased about it, but the act itself didn't embarrass him anymore.

"I promise," he said seriously. "I promise both: I'll live. And we'll be all right."

It was only hugging, right now, and Fay being a clingy mage. "Have to keep your promise," he mumbled. "Whatever happens. My life isn't more important than yours. Kuro-sama has to live."

[vowtoprotect.livejournal.com]

"I keep my promises." His arms tightened around Fay. "I've never broken my word. Never. So if I say I'm gonna live, I will. Don't worry."

"I'm going to worry," Fay said into Kurogane's shirt, "cos I can't not worry about Kuro-rin..." He looked up at Kurogane, changing position slightly so he was resting his cheek against Kurogane's chest.
