Prompt: 087 (Costumes)
Characters/Pairing: Angel, Lorne
Lorne walked into Angel's room already dressed in his costume. Except for the green skin and red eyes he was almost the exact image of Mr. Frank Sinatra.
"Angelcakes, why aren't you dressed yet?" Lorne pointed towards the oblong box that sat on top of the bed.
"Why do I have to dress up?" His tone sounded suspiciously like a two-year-old being told he was too young to go trick or treating. "Can't I just go as a vampire? I'm good as a vampire." Angel looked down at his black clothing, he was comfortable wearing it. He doubted he would be able to say the same about whatever costume lay in the box.
"Cinnamon buns. It's a party, for Halloween. You know, come as you aren't night. The biggest holiday celebrated at Wolfram and Hart. Does any of this ring a bell? Everyone's dressing in costumes. How would it look if the boss didn't bother to participate? You wouldn't want to be a party pooper would ya?" Lorne rushed to reassure Angel. "Come on it'll be fun."
Angel looked doubtful.
"You have nothing to worry about, muffin. You're going to look great. We’ll expect to see you dressed and downstairs in an hour." He turned around and headed out the door." Don't worry," Lorne said as he poked his head back into the room. "I picked out your costume myself." He gave a little wave as he left.
"I'm not a party pooper." Angel mumbled under his breath. As he sat down beside the offensive box, he sighed heavily. He might as well get this over with. Angel reached out to open the box but suddenly jerked his hand away as if burned. Wait, what had Lorne said..He'd picked out his outfit!? Angel cautiously lifted the lid and peeked inside.
Oh hell no!

Date: 2008-10-20 04:51 pm (UTC)loved the Cinnamon buns line too! but, I loved the line, "I'm not a party pooper.", even more!
There's a man in denial if ever I've heard one!
Also I don't think I want to know what Lorne had put in that box for Angel to wear - even though I don't like Angel all that much, I think I'd rather leave him a little dignity :)
Thanks,
