Halloween Part One (For Will)

In truth, Alex hadn't really been all that into the idea of Halloween. He hadn't been in the US for Halloween for the bast couple years and it just didn't have the same appeal over seas. Couple that with his subdued mood of the past few weeks and the holiday just didn't really have any appeal.

What Alex didn't count on was his brother and his insistence that he needed a brother for his costume. When he tried to point out that Will in fact had two other brothers he could bother, he was met with the argument that neither of them had the talent with words that the God of Lies needed to have in spades. There was more to it, but that was how Alex agreed to dress up as Loki to Will's Thor as they handed out candy for trick or treaters at Will's home.

It turned out actually being a lot of fun. He played up before the proper, intense Loki to Will's goofy Thor and they made the kids laugh. He even pretended to be defeated by the kids if they recognized him as villain while Will handed out candy. It was fun and silly and just what he needed, playful time with his brother, who he'd really missed while he as off eloping.

After shutting the door on another bunch of trick or treaters, Alex collapsed on the couch with a gasping breath before looking over his shoulder at Will. "Alright, I will admit. This is fun."

Corry is on her way out, Pirate Hat crowning her head and sword at her side when Alex shows up at her door in full Loki costume. The Cabot boys commit when it comes to costumes. This is a family she wants to be a part of.

She opens the door with her sword out, pointed in his direction. "Ahoy there, Master of Trick n' Deceit. A scoundrel such as you would do well aboard my ship. Come away n' sail the seven seas with me. Your brother here be far too noble for the likes of my men."

"It is. Imagine what it could be like if it were our kids," Will murmured thoughtfully before laughing. A married man Will might be but children, as much as he loved Corry, was probably not in the cards for them. Her career came first, he wouldn't want to change her for the chance to dress as Odin and make his kid a miniature Thor and Alex still as poor Loki. Or Girl!Thor, that was a thing now as well. "Do not tell Corry that, she'll run for the docks and I'll never see her again. This? This is good though."

Will dropped onto the couch beside Alex, pushing Loki's boots away before reclining back. Nudging his brother he smiled honestly. "It's good to be back and it's good to see you smiling again. Something tells me you haven't been recently."

"I meant our children, playing together. Yours and mine, eventually maybe not now of course." Will murmured, smiling at the thought of beautiful strawberry blonde girls running rampant over their cousins. It was a good thought, one he'd thought of before but Will knew that children were a long time away. Corry might want a family, someone to trust that she made but he doubted she was ready to put aside her career for nine to ten months just yet.

Looking at Alex worriedly, he nudged his brother's shoulder and looked at his resigned face.

"What happened while I was away?"

"Aren't you? Really?" Will asked, looking at his brother carefully and trying to gage whether or not Alex was in fact lying to him about that. Will tended to act a little protectively towards his younger brother, Alex in particular who was much closer in age than the others. But then it had always been Will, Alex and Henry against their younger siblings always. "If they can't accept us for who we are then they aren't worth it, they aren't worth your time you know that Alex. Who was it anyway? The redhead at the station?"

"You little brother are a man of mystery and secrets, my life is splashed in the papers while you live quietly." Will replied, leaning forward as Alex leaned back. The sigh said everything, his brother might not have been Dating but there had been someone. After all he and Corry had never really dated before Siren Cove. "Ah, I thought- nevermind then. It matters if you're upset about it, do you want to tell me who it is?"

So Will could go and have a word....

"No, of course not. I have no idea what you're talking about. But a little whisper in their ear won't do them any harm, will it?" Will replied, smiling good naturedly at Alex. Will would do it for the other two as well and had done when he'd thought Ed's ex was praying on a vulnerable boy who'd lost his older brother. William could be very... intimidating for such a goofball. "If it doesn't matter then why are you protecting them?"

"Of course it is, you're a Cabot. If our relationships weren't complicated then we wouldn't be us, would we?" Will replied, draping his heavy arm over his brother's shoulder in a half hearted reassurance- almost a hug. "You keep saying they... you know if it's a guy then I can deal with that. Right? I mean, you've walked in on me and four girls no wait five."

"Marrying an entire tribe doesn't happen that often, does it little brother? Besides you wouldn't have to marry an entire tribe if you just dated someone." Will replied before smiling when Alex admitted evasively that he'd been seeing a guy. Honestly he should have told Alex about Henry but their older brother had always wanted to tell their family on his own terms. He'd just never got the chance to. "Really. So, it's someone that I can punch then... interesting. What's his name?"
