Open Scorching

[William Kaimarama]

William usually didn't bother with Halloween, but it was his final year at school. Why not dress up? Well... dress up was a polite way of putting it. His clothes were some of his usual streetwear, but his hands, he was.... pretty proud of. They glowed and sparked and flickered with flame every time he moved them, and the effect looked even cooler than it had in his dorm once he reached the darkness of the party. Dancing would probably have looked amazing but William wasn't really all that much of a dancer, figuring he would just hang around the other activities the feast had to offer. He spotted an apple bobbing station and headed over, figuring he might as well give it a go. He'd never done any of this Halloween stuff before, but there was no time like the present.

Abian was feeling a little melancholy as he looked around at the decorations for the Halloween Feast. It was going to be his final one here at Hogwarts, and that felt very strange. The boy had dressed up as usual, and was now looking for one of his friends to hang out with. He looked around at the activities, trying to see if anyone was around he could play a game with or hit a pinata with for one more time. But then he spotted something from the corner of his eye, a flashing orange that looked like fire. Abian blinked, then realized the fire was attached to William. Alarmed, he started to rush over, until he realized William would be screaming a lot more if he was on fire. Abian approached his friend and watched the flames in awe. "Wow!" He said, his eyes wide. "That's SO COOL!"

William was distracted from waiting for his turn at the game when Abian approached, greeting his friend with a cheerful wave. "Hey, man!" He said happily. He laughed at the compliment to his costume, making a few whooshing noises with his mouth as he struck cool poses. "Watch out, or you'll get burned!" He teased, grinning as his hands sparked and sizzled. "Your costume's cool too." He added, relaxing his posture. Though William was long since over his crush on Abian, it was hard to tear his eyes away from the Hufflepuff's arms in that tank top. "You gotta have fans hanging off you dressed like that, aye?" He joked, giving Abian a friendly elbow.

Abian jumped back a bit as William started posing with his fire, laughing in amazement. "Wow, really? Can it burn?" He asked, before frowning. "That sounds pretty dangerous, bro." He added, glancing around at the younger students nearby. Abian laughed softly at his next comment and shrugged. "What, like Quidditch fans?" He asked, considering it. "I don't think so. This has nothing to do with Quidditch. "

William laughed when Abian asked if his hands burned, shaking his head quickly. "Nah, it's just an illusion." He said with a chuckle, giving Abian a light punch in the shoulder with a sizzling hand to prove his point. He laughed louder when Abian missed the point of his comment entirely, shaking his head. "No, you egg, I mean people swooning over those biceps." He snorted, poking Abian in the arm. Somehow this all felt so much easier to talk about now that he was over his crush. "You're hot, bro, even if you're dumb as hell."

Abian still jumped a bit as William gave him a light punch in the shoulder, though he soon realized the hand was really not hot to the touch. Still, it looked awfully real. Abian frowned when he then brought up his biceps, before blushing as William poked him in the arm. "Hey." He muttered. "Dude, did you just call me hot?" He asked, feeling oddly embarrassed. "Wait- did you just call me dumb? I'm not dumb!" He protested, flushing hotly.
