The sun had risen far earlier than Henry had cared for. The way his bedroom was settled in the Ark, the morning sun shown quite brightly into the little porthole that he called a window. And just the way his bed was position, the light shown bright in his eyes and made him stir with a groan. He hated mornings. He would much rather stay up all night and sleep all day. But today was Halloween and he was going to take Sterling to a Halloween party. The problem was: What the hell was he supposed to wear?
Henry hadn't celebrated the holiday since he was a young boy. Most years, he just wore a t-shirt that said "This is my fucking costume" and left it at that. But this year, he was going to try to enjoy the festivals and parties. After all, he didn't want to look like a complete moron.
Eyes scanned his closet as he looked for something that had any amount of potential for a costume. In the end, he pulled out a pair of ratty jeans that hung low on his waist. He shrugged and decided that this year, he would go as Christian Grey...or a Chippendale, or whatever else he might look like. It was perfect, but he supposed it would just have to work. Plus, Sterling would get to see him shirtless all night.
Once his jeans were on and his feet bare, Henry left the comforts of his small stateroom and headed towards the kitchen to perhaps get him some breakfast before leaving for the morning. He hardly expected the gathering that was already there. And as he rounded the corner, his eyes scanned over Tetra then onto Raven and Tobias in their couple's costume, and finally on a child. A CHILD! "Jesus...you could have warned me that we were going to have kids here..." While she might not know who Christian Grey was, he was definitely not dressed in enough clothing to be running around a child. He was completely shirtless and his jeans settled right on his hips where if they slid down any further, an unsuspecting observer might get a glimpse of his more masculine hair growth that was otherwise absent on the rest of his body.
He came around the counter as Raven was handing out jobs. He eyed the woman, a little curious if she was going to give him a job. He wouldn't ask for one, though. If he didn't have to help, he certainly wouldn't. He wanted to get out of here ASAP and spend the day with his boyfriend or stop by and see Malia and she what her plans were tonight. No doubt Nadya would dress her up in some sort of sexy costume. Maybe he shouldn't stop by. Maybe he should just go straight to Sterling's apartment.
