Wow, okay. So 5 months ago I wrote a little ficlet for my partner, I found it stowed away somewhere in my old DW account, and thank the gods I managed to stumble upon my old stuff. I just thought it was hilarious, and I obviously don't want to lose it again, so I'm laying out the fanfiction I wrote about Evelyn (punk4eva) from Emily is Away for the world to see hehe! >:∆

(Restricted) HELLoween Partay: The One Where the Protagonist Goes to the Party With Evelyn

Summary:
Weefangirl: Thinking of Eva's halloween party.
Weefangirl: Partayyy.
Weefangirl: HELLoween party. Give me a reason why Mat would want to drive out at night. What for?
Meme: To play LCD Sound system on his AUX and for no particular reason...

Well. And so. For fun, okay, FOR FUN!

Notes:
Thanks to Meme-y for laughing and loving and reading through this piece of utter crack when I sent it to him. Much love. *muah*

Fic:
"I'm going to die and I swear to God, Mat, I will hunt you down and you'll never see daylight again."

Jupiter hears Mat groan from the driver's seat, and okay, he can actually sense it whenever Mat would roll his eyes, even when he's busy craning his neck to look out the window where Jackie's house is at. "Are you sure Eva's here?"

"I don't know, man," Mat says, tapping impatiently at the steering wheel. "You were the one who talked to Evelyn, and you were the one who showed up at my door going, 'I NEED JACKIE'S ADDRESS!'"

Jupiter laughs a little and starts undoing his seatbelt because unlike everyone else he knew (except for Eva, Jupiter takes note guiltily), he can actually understand the concept of sarcasm. "And you still brought me here, following me like the fucking Pied Piper."

"Fucking stupid Pied Piper," he clarifies.

Jupiter ignores him and gets out of the car. He can already hear Senses Fail blasting from, well, everywhere, and that's how he knows the house has Eva's presence. Not like, in a ghostly way or anything equally mystical, although she'd totally look hot in a ghost costume. It's just that she'd sent Jupiter enough links to prove that she's a devout Senses Fail fanatic.

"You better be fast, dude, My Dad's going to need the car in ten minutes," Mat pulls Jupiter away from Sinland before he can start imagining Eva on stage rocking out to 'Let It Enfold You'. In costume. Ugh, he really needs help.

"Make it fifteen," Jupiter amends, and when Mat's face doesn't stop from doing this whiny Armageddon face it does every time his sexy Mexican boyfriend pulls out the AUX when Daft Punk plays, he huffs and says, "Fine, ten."

Mat grins his stupid grin. "Okay, now that's a deal."

Jupiter makes it up the pumpkin-addicted walkway, in the front door, through the bustling, spooky crowd and out the backyard where he finds a woman, all dressed up as Alice in fucking Wonderland with her zombie friends. The backyard's a little convoluted too, but it's still a lot more preferable to eau de boy's locker room that is the dumb living room. He can see Eva now, her raven hair on top of everything, braying with laughter and waving a drink. Jupiter holds a hand out and calls after her.

"Jupes!" Eva crows, elbowing through the crows in heels that probably pinch. "Don't tell me I'll be the one receiving drunk texts tonight?"

"Oh, no no," says Jupiter, shaking his mundane head because he isn't really dressed up for Halloween, which makes him feel like an asshole because he totally told Eva the night before that he'd go as the Mad Hatter. "Actually, I only have ten minutes," he holds his hands up when Eva starts to say something. "It's just, like, Mat needs me to take care of his dog because he and his Dad need to go somewhere for a fucking Halloween boding or something."

Eva looks at him wonderingly. She doesn't look mad, maybe just halfway between mild annoyance and acceptance, and it doesn't really erase Jupiter's 'I AM A SLEAZOID DONKEY' forehead sign written in bold, neon letters. "I think that's sweet, dude," she smiles. "You shouldn't have bothered, seriously."

"But I should have!"

"Then you should've brought his dog here so you'd get to partay with me," she says like duh, and then she tips her head back a little and actually says, "Duh."

"I can party with you through AIM," Jupiter points out. "And I enjoy your drunk texts, okay, like when you were in the goddamn moshpit."

"Goddddd," Eva groans and promptly runs a hand through her hair, something she does when she remembers something funny, cringy, or upsetting. She's wearing a bright, puffed sleeve dress with some sort of apron draped over the front. Jupiter honestly didn't expect the costume to look this good. Apparently you have a fifty-fifty chance of getting either a decent one or one that looks like it's been used to wipe shit off of Jeff's ass when you order it from eBay. Jupiter must've been staring too long for Eva's comfort, because she starts shifting lightly from foot to foot. "What? Is it bad? Kelly said it actually looks good on me."

It does look good, though. "It looks good!" says Jupiter. Eva looks at him reluctantly, maybe waiting for a concluding ceremony speech or something. And FYI, Jupiter can totally arrange something like that, if it'd be about Eva and how awesome she looks in her costume. "I especially love the apron, reminds me of my Mom."

Eva cocks an eyebrow. "Your - okay, it's called a pinafore, by the way," she corrects him matter-of-factly, and then someone comes up and swoops Eva's attention away from Jupiter.

"Evelyyyyn, hey!" Stupid Steve says, stupidly. "Wanna hang around for a bit?"

Eva throws Jupiter a little wary glance, which basically screams, 'I need help!' because they're mind-meld AIM buddies.

"Sorry, bud, we're kinda busy talking here," says Jupiter, getting in between them and sending Eva an I-will-take-care-of-this look. Eva seems to get it, because she steps back a tad bit, just enough to have Jupiter in front like a fleshy human shield.

Stupid Steve clicks his tongue stupidly. He opens his mouth, then closes it again, and it goes on for a thousand years before Kelly miraculously approaches them, thank God, which sends Steve away because he can't handle being around people like, you know, Kelly.

"Drinks for you, Jupitah?" she grins, waving a punch around. "But this one's strong, I'm warnin' you."

"No, actually-" Jupiter starts, but then his phone starts yammering angrily at him, and he doesn't have to look at the screen to know that it's Impatient Mat. "Shit, I have to go, Evelyn."

"Oh, uh, well," Eva says. Jupiter knows from experience that she's probably shuffling through tabs and tabs of Excuses to Not Be Upset in her brain or whatever. Jupiter does that too. Sometimes.

"Yeah," says Jupiter sadly.

They stand there hovering awkwardly for a minute, then Jupiter's phone starts dinging like wildfire again because of Mat's Karen-like spam messages, and he folds his arms to his chest so that he won't shove his hands in Eva's hair and just kiss her right then and there, fuck. "I'm really sorry, Evelyn."

"Don't worry about it," says Eva, bracing a hand on his shoulder. "It's okay, I understand."

"You're too kind," Jupiter gives her a lopsided smile. He knows he has to say something else before it was too late. He wants to say something, but he doesn't really know what, so he brushes it off and picks up something that isn't off-topic. Kind of. "Send me drunk messages?"

Eva bites her bottom lip and laughs, growing bright pink. She's really awesome. "Send you drunk messages."

"Okay," Jupiter says slowly. They walk through a different door in Jackie's house without a word, and when they arrive at the front yard where the pumpkin-filled walkway is visible again, they stand there for another hopeless minute, just looking at each other and waiting for someone to initiate The Closing Speech, Jesus.

"Well, I guess-" Eva says, and Jupiter wraps her up in a hug. A really tight one.

Eva doesn't move at first, but she's managed to work out the will to hug back, Jupiter can tell with the soft, warm slide of palm behind him. It feels like forever until they both finally pull back, but apparently someone was right when they said forever's not enough.

"Happy Helloween," Jupiter whispers. He fishes out a small pumpkin clip out of his pocket, snaps it somewhere in Eva's hair, and smiles. "Keep it."

Eva doesn't say something.

"Well, enjoy your night!" Jupiter shrugs easily as he walks back to Mat's car with his back to it, still facing Eva, totally hopeless and fuck, head over heels for her. "I'll see you around, 'kay?"

"Okay."

Jupiter hastily clambers into the car and shuts the door a little too loudly for Mat's standards, but Mat doesn't bitch about it because the motherfucker's totally grinning like, well, a motherfucker.

"This is gonna be my new telenovela," says Matt.

"Telenovela?" Jupiter rolls his eyes, but he smiles anyway because it's cheesy as hell. The car starts and he doesn't look out of the window. He's glad he didn't, though, because he swears he saw Eva chuckle a little at the clip.
