@StayingFoxy "I hate it."
Cameron stood before his studio with a frown and a huff, much like an artist admiring a finished canvas.
"Nah. I hate it. I'm startin' ov'ah."
For a split moment, Cameron was happy to see Jordon. But when Thanos started wobbling towards a piece of equipment more expensive than their rent...
"Whataya doin' here?"
@StayingFoxy "Thank you," Cameron smiled, trying damn hard to keep his thick, rouch accent under control while in the presence of them. "It took a lott'ah, a lot of work, but... Jor really helped me out with it."
Loud, excited chatter overlapped one another - each De Luca trying to outspeak the other. Luckily, Cameron convinced his family to come to their house that year.
Yet, the kitchen was still just as crowded.
"Stop touchin' those eggs, Nico!"
@StayingFoxy Wiping his hands off on a kitchen towel - cutely decorated with cartoonish turkeys - Cameron stepped forward to greet his in-laws.
"Ey. Thanks fa comin'. I --"
"(GO! Get out of the kitchen!)" Italian drifted out towards them.
"Sorry."
@StayingFoxy What made it worse was Cameron's poor decision to invite Sam and Jordon's parents as a surprisw. The ring of the doorbell suddenly filled Cameron with dread and regret.
He should've known better.
"Ey, Babe. Get tha door?"
@StayingFoxy "What? No, nah. Babe, I ain't gonna leave ya here by ya'self."
Alone. With Carlo.
"It's fine, Babe. Honestly. Look at me. I'm bein' honest, aiite? It is literally fine."
Knowing he'd never be asked to handle the couples costume, again, Cameron walked out to @StayingFoxy with a smirk, holding up a pumpkin costume for his lover, while wearing a simple shirt that said Peter Peter with a little smear of orange around his mouth.
"C'mon. Time ta go."
@StayingFoxy If Jordon wasn't 100% on board, then Cameron wasn't going to push it. His husband would do anything to make him happy, would sacrifice everything, and it was up Cameron to not take advantage.
"Yeah. Nah, ya... Ya right. It's fine, Jor. I'm jus' glad I got ta see 'em ta'night."
@StayingFoxy "What?"
No. Cameron had not heard that.
The rich folks he mentioned were the upper lower class neighborhoods near the church in his area.
"Wait. Can we do that?"
Carlo gave a shrug. "Take 'em. I can't do all this Halloween shit."
@StayingFoxy As Jordon approached, Cameron glanced up from where he was squatting, tying his sister's shoelaces.
"Ey, Doll. Sup? Ya ready ta go beg candy off of rich folks?" He grinned.
