take me out tonight
take me anywhere, i don't care, i don't care, i don't care
and in the darkened underpass
i thought “oh god, my chance has come at last”
but then a strange fear gripped me and i just couldn't ask
take me out tonight
oh, take me anywhere, i don't care, i don't care, i don't care
driving in your car
i never, never want to go home
because i haven't got one, la-di-dum, oh, i haven't got one

✧ growing up , akito only got to experience eight halloweens before he was shipped off to live where the day wasn’t celebrated at all . to tell you the truth , those eight years were the only years of childhood that akito got to experience , and still to this day , after all this time , those eight years were the best years of akito’s entire life - even if they did turn out to be filled with deceit that would haunt him for the rest of his life .
akito , being a natural story teller from just about birth , loved halloween for the stories . the candy was good , too , of course , but nothing could beat the way that the day was filled with nothing but story telling . some of the best films were halloween films , some of the best books were just as scary , there was a story in every person’s costume , a trick or treating story to tell your friends the next day when you shared the rest of your haul , and every year without fail , even in the years that they spent away from the festivities , there was always a ghost story or two conjured up in akito’s very own brain and told to momoko .
akito loved growing up in japan , sure , as much as anyone could enjoy existing anywhere after enduring such a traumatic event in childhood , but his heart had been left behind in the states . despite how changed his life was , and despite how much of the perfect family he had once had had been a lie , akito still carried a piece of it with him everywhere . during the time spent in japan , halloween was one thing akito struggled to let go .
he had fond memories of their days back in miami , some now tainted , but some remaining forever special . his recollection of every end of october could never be ruined . he remembered it fondly , remembering the festive cookies he and momoko would eat as they planned their trick or treating route ; he remembered their hours of costume planning , and how momoko would each year without fail copy his plans - ‘ mimic-o ’ he would call her ; he remembered the cemetery they would have to pass in order to get to the neighbourhood with the full sized candy bars , and how he’d always have to hold her hand a little tighter while they went past ; he remembered the way he would sneak a couple of those candy bars into his socks so that when their parents took their loot to ensure they didn’t make themselves sick eating candy when they should have been sleeping , they would still have a treat .
in the years after their time living in the states , akito tried his very best to keep the magic of halloween alive , if not for himself , but for the littlest noguchi who he had always loved to make everything special for . they couldn’t buy the same festive cookies , so he would try a new recipe each year in an attempt to recreate the store-bought taste ; they couldn’t go trick or treating , but akito would make a scavenger hunt of candy around their grandmother’s house so it was still exciting to obtain ; the same halloween films didn’t play on television late at night , they could no longer sneak up past their bedtime to watch them , but akito would light candles and spend weeks prior drawing pictures to accompany his best ghost stories . their lives had been completely flipped upside down , but akito always did his best to preserve the very best for momoko .
halloween is no longer the same , especially not after the halloween of eighty-seven , but each time the leaves brown and front porch steps slowly become littered with carved pumpkins that resemble the perpetrator that still haunts akito’s nightmares each night , he’s reminded of the fact that he is capable of preserving , remembering and celebrating the best of times , even during the worst .
