Trying on cute halloween costumes
“Alright Vince, ready to find a costume to wear?” Orlando asked as he carried him into the store. It was finally the day where they went and found Vincent’s halloween costume. Most of the costumes were probably picked by now, but it was fine. They were positive they could find something at the very least.
“Baaaaa.” Vincent held onto his beloved sheep plushie, which was all fancy and dressed up. His Nonna told her that she was Countess Sheepula. Because Halloween.
“I don’t know if we’ll find a sheep costume bud, but we’ll try.” He kissed his cheek, taking him over to the little costume section.
Unsurprisingly the older children costumes were mostly picked over, the popular Disney Princess, Superhero and ‘Real Jobs’ costumes being the first on the chopping block, but interestingly, the smaller aged little’s costumes, the ones meant for one's around Vincent’s age were still bountiful. It made sense.
About 2.5 percent of littles were around Vincent’s age in New York State, so it made sense why the older costumes would be picked clean and the unfortunate bastards who did have an older little would definitely throw a fit about wearing a ‘baby’ costume.
“Alright bud, see any costumes that catch your eye?” He asked him, taking him over to the costumes. Looking through a few of them to see if he can find some for Vincent to try on.
Vincent tended to be non-conforming in the tendency of clothes so he chose a witchling, vampire childer and pirate costume to start off with. Maybe Vincent would want to be scary? It was halloween…
He brought him into the dressing room, putting him in the vampire costume first. Putting him in front of the mirror once it was on.
It hadn’t even been thirty seconds before he teared up and shook his head, “No...Scary.”
“Okay okay.” He shushed him, getting him out of the costume. “Do you wanna try the witch next?”
“No!” Vincent shook his head, “Dada Baaa.”
“I know baby, we need to find a sheep costume.” He told him.
So, scary was a no go, that was good to know. But what could they do...Well, there were two options by that point. The meme fuckery option or the cute option like the traditional pumpkin. Though he heard in the mom chat, yes he was a part of the mom chat, sue him he wanted to stay informed, that Daniel was going to be a pumpkin for halloween so he definitely didn’t want to steal Anna’s thunder.
Orlando ran a hand through his hair a bit, looking at each of the costumes. There had to be one sheep costume, how many people want to be a sheep for Halloween? He can only think of one little boy.
Pooh bear costume, stitch costume...oh fuck was that a donut costume…??
Well, at the very least, he was happy there weren't any ‘sexy’ costumes. God forbid.
Vincent looked at a mass of black fabric, “Dada! Dat!” He pointed at the fabric, which had been long forgotten by an employee, yet to be rehung to be sold.
He raised an eyebrow, picking up the fabric. Trying to look at the costume.
As it turned out, it was indeed a halloween costume- a sheep costume. It would make sense that the white versions of the halloween costume would be sold out, after all, ‘Mary Had A Little Lamb’ was a common CG and Little paired costume.
“Oh, well lookit that. Do you wanna try out being a black sheep?”
“Scary sheep?” Vincent asked, “I wanna be scary sheep.”
“Well let's try it on bud.” He takes him back into the dressing room. Helping him into the costume before sitting him in front of the mirror.
It was a little bit too big but Jesus christ the costume looked adorable. “Baaa! Bad sheepy!” He held himself like he was in a dinosaur costume.
Orlando chuckled, smiling at him. “Do you like it baby?” He asked him, adjusting the costume a bit.
Vincent nodded, “Bad sheepy?”
“Yes.”
