A/N: written for the Halloween competition on myv_kai

Miyavi was letting his gaze wander over the crowds of people that were crammed into Ruki’s medium sized apartment. He couldn’t find Kai and the fact that everybody was masked and dressed in colourful Halloween costumes, didn’t help him either in finding his boyfriend. He did recognize some people whose faces were visible, but apparently Kai wasn’t among them.

Or then he was hiding from him, but why should he do that? They hadn’t seen each other for a couple of days, because Miyavi was busy with work and since Kai’s grandmother’s 80^th birthday was on the same day as Kai’s own birthday, he had spend some days with his family back at home. When they had been talking on the phone, Kai wouldn’t tell Miyavi how he was going to dress up – no matter how much Miyavi begged him to let him know.

Upon his arrival he had questioned Ruki about where to find Kai, but the small singer, dressed in an inflatable pumpkin costume that made him look like a little orange ball rather than an actual pumpkin, just shrugged and said, “We’re all mad here!”
Well, Miyavi knew that before!
Before he could actually join the party and take a look around, Ruki was by his side again.

“Nice costume, Miyavi-san,” he began, smirking mischievously, “guess you really like clowns!” He winked and before Miyavi could utter anything, Ruki vanished into the crowd. Miyavi was still dressed in his casual clothes, because work took longer than expected and he couldn’t make it home in time to get dressed and to Ruki’s party again, since the singer pretty much lived on the other side of the town and traffic usually took forever.

“Yeah, I’m a clown, right”, he muttered to himself, chuckling, “says somebody who dresses in suits made of curtains!” Amused he shook his head and tried to find Kai, saying ‘hi’ to random people he knew and admiring their costumes, of which some were, admittedly, rather strange. Uruha dressing up as a flower girl and Shou being Alice in Wonderland did make him laugh hard, despite the killing glances that were shot at him in return.

Looked like Shou’s bandmates had all dressed up as Alice in Wonderland characters, because there was Hiroto being the white rabbit, judging from the height the Cheshire Cat was Nao and… wait! Something about the Cheshire Cat seemed familiar to Miyavi, but it couldn’t be him, could it? Kai choosing to be the Cheshire Cat was too obvious to be true, but then again it suited him perfectly. He couldn’t tell though without taking a closer look, because the person’s face was completely hidden by a mask showing the wide grin of the Cheshire Cat, while the rest of the head was covered by the costume’s cat ears hoodie.

Something gave Kai away though. From the way he was standing, Miyavi could clearly picture how his slender, almost bony hips were Kai-like sticking out to the left side, currently hidden by the padded costume, but Miyavi couldn’t be fooled. He knew his boyfriend well enough to recognize him from little things like that. He slowly approached the little pink and purple cat and after taking a look into his eyes, Miyavi knew for sure it was his boyfriend.

“Hello, kitty”, he purred into Kai’s fake cat ear, biting down on it and then wrapping his arms around Kai’s plump costume as well as he could.
“So you finally found me? I thought you’d never realise who I was”, Kai chuckled and pushed some of the dark locks away that had fallen into Miyavi’s face.

“Take off that mask for me, will you?”
Kai pouted which couldn't bee seen but heard. “Don’t you like my costume?”
“I do like it, but Cheshire Cat’s smile is nothing compared to yours and I cannot kiss you like that”, Miyavi explained, giving Kai his puppy eyes and the drummer finally took off his mask. Miyavi smiled, mumbling a “that's better” and bending down to press a soft and loving kiss to Kai's lips.

“I've missed you,” Kai whispered, closing his eyes and cherishing the moment with his lover, who still held him in his arms.
“I've missed you, too. Next time I'm coming with you. Happy belated birthday, babe” Miyavi replied, earning a giggle from Kai.

“What?”
“You called me 5 times on my actual birthday. It's okay. You don't need to congratulate me again.
“It's different in person!” Miyavi stubbornly justified himself, but the drummer shut him up with another peck on the lips.

“Why didn’t you dress up?” Kai pouted, when they separated from their kiss.
“Sorry babe, there was no time. It’s too bad, isn’t it? Now I cannot bite you with my fake vampire teeth.”
“You can bite me later, when we are at home.”
“You can count on that!” Miyavi grinned. Because it had been a while since he last spent a night together with Kai, he was eager of doing so tonight. And he still had to give Kai some kind of birthday present…!

The rest of the night was spent with cheerful chats, funny party games, a little bit of dancing and of course alcoholic drinks and karaoke weren't missing either. By the end of the night, a very drunken Ruki climbed his living room table, exclaiming that he would now give away the award – apparently a cactus he took from the window sill - for the best Halloween costume of the party.

“....and the winner is of course – since his costumes are always so fancy, imaginative, stylish and always totally suited to the occasion – the only person that celebrates Halloween 24-7 and 365 days a year – MIYAVI!”
Ruki cheered and clapped, then fell off the table, his downfall luckily cushioned by his inflatable costume.

Miyavi opened his mouth, ready to bitch back at the already passed out Ruki, but Kai quickly grabbed his hand and dragged him into the hall.
“Let's go home!”
“I like my clothes!”, Miyavi mumbled offended, then his face lightened up again when he examined Kai's costume again, while the drummer bent down to put on his shoes.

“Sorry Kai-kitten, I just remembered I cannot take you home with me tonight”, Miyavi said when they finally grabbed their coats, ready to leave the party.
“Why not?” Kai was frowning, clearly missing that Miyavi was trying to suppress his laughter.
“I’m afraid I spoilt Miyabimaru too much. She won’t let me have other cats besides her!” he explained, attempting to look serious, but failing when his boyfriend began to laugh.
“You could undress me in the elevator!” Kai suggested with a wide grin, making Miyavi laugh as well and nod eagerly.
“I'd like that very much. Let's go.”
