Shopping Horrors {Bear!Dirk x Reader}

“So that’s supposed to be ironic?” You gestured to your boyfriend’s attire.

“Yep.”

“You’re a disgrace to Halloween cheer. You aren’t even scary!” You pursed your lips, you couldn’t believe he thought wearing a cute bear onesie was classified as a Halloween costume. The two of you were going to a party and with the state of Dirk’s costume maybe you weren’t going with him.

“Bears kill over two hundred people per year. Now that sounds pretty scary to me.” You rolled your eyes at his false fact.

“You know what I meant Dirk. You don’t physically look scary because you are wearing a onesie. A bear, onesie.”

“But I am physically a bear.” You almost laughed, you would’ve laughed if this weren’t your favourite holiday and meant the world to you.

“Oh? If so, give me your best bear roar.” You challenged determination filling you,

“Meooow~” Dirk purred one of his hands making a clawing motion in your direction. Sometimes your boyfriend looked more flamboyantly gay then you did. At this you laughed.

“God damnit Strider. Let’s get you an actual Halloween outfit, I’ll even pay.”

“You buying me something? What has the world come to?” You elbowed his gut, you were unemployed at the moment. Leaving him to be the one to pay for most things. It always made you feel incredibly guilty, not that you’d tell Dirk. Your gaze found the ground, “(y/n)?” You looked up at the calling of your name only for his lips to press to yours. “Are we gonna skate to the shops?” He asked with a quirked eyebrow once the two of your lips parted. You nodded before pressing your lips to his again.

“Race you!” You called turning and sprinting for the doorway where you kept both your boards. You grabbed Dirk’s as well only for him to wrap his arms around your waist just as you ran out the apartment door. You squirmed in his hold laughing, hearing him chuckle against your neck.

“Give.”

“I’m not a dog Dirk.”

“You sure looked like one last night~”

“Dirk!!” Your cheeks grew hot as you tried to suppress the hazy memories of last night.

“What~?” You could practically hear him smirking from behind you.

“You are such an ass.” You handed him his board only for him to not let go of you. “He-!” Before you could even comprehend what was going on you were turned and your lips were covered once more. You dropped your board and tangled your hands in his blonde locks. A soft moan left your lips as he bit at your bottom lip. You moved your hands to pull him closer when his lips and arms left your body and his triumphant laughter reached your ears. “That’s cheating!!” You yelled running after Dirk who now had your board and his own and was soaring down the hallway on said board.

You charged down the hallway determined to reach the blonde and wipe that smirk off his face. Reaching the elevator you slipped in and he decided to ride the rails on the stairway. You spammed the down button, the doors opened and you sprinted out without looking only to run straight into Dirk who had actually been waiting for you. You heard him groan beneath you, you sat up and took your board, standing up.

“Let’s move princess.” You held a hand out to him, he took it and you pulled him up.

“Race you!” He jumped onto his board far too quickly causing it to slip out from under him and he came tumbling backwards, subsequently straight into you. You fell straight back not having expected the impact, your head spun for a few seconds.

“Diiiiirk.” You groaned keeping your eyes closed.

“Sorry.” You peaked an eyelid open only for your eyes to widen at how close he had gotten, he was now hovering over you his face inches from yours.

“Did you just fucking flash step straddle me?” You questioned the male.

“Perhaps.” He pecked your lips lightly before nuzzling at your neck and collarbone,

“Dirk!” You called out, your neck and collarbone still incredibly sensitive from last night’s adult shenanigans. “As much as I love being tortured by you, we don’t have long till the-“ You weren’t able to finish your sentence as your lips were covered once more.

“Who gives a fuck about the party?” He mumbled against your lips.

“I DO!”


“We only have a few hours to the party so this has to be a low maintenance outfit but still scary and individual.”

“Whatever.” Dirk grumbled, he’d been sulking the whole way here because you didn’t want to make out with him. You tried explaining to him that you did want to make out but you also wanted to go to the party, that argument didn’t get across to him very well.

“A vampire is too cliché and Dave will probably be going as one.” You mumbled your eyes scanning the costumes, you almost jumped when a hand intertwined itself with yours. You looked over at Dirk and kissed his cheek, squeezing his hand lightly. That seemed to make him happier. “Skeleton? Hmm, depends if we go with makeup. If you want it to look cool you’ll need to have makeup so I guess that’s a no.” You pursed your lips again.

“You should wear this one.” Dirk pointed at one of the costumes with a snigger.

“Dirk you know I’m already going as-“ You turned to see which costume he was pointing at, it was a sexy neko maid outfit. “Maybe for our own Halloween next year~” You purred which obviously caught him off guard, then you saw it.

“Dirk you should be a-!” The lights turned off and you screamed turning to cling to Dirk. He chuckled and held you close.

“Never knew you were afraid of the dark.” You didn’t have the confidence to push away from him as to not risk your pride.

“I’m not, I-I was just startled is all.”

“By what, the silent click of the light switch?” You pouted.

“Shut up, I’ve just seen lots of horror movies like this okay. There was this one where all the dolls in the store started coming to life and they started killing all the people in the shopping centre! Plus it’s Halloween and a full moon! We’re so screwed!” You pressed your face into Dirk’s chest, he just chuckled again.

“We’ll be fine (y/n), there was probably just a light-“

“NYEHEHEHE!” You’d never felt your heart stop so quickly in your entire life.

“Dirk…” You whispered.

“Be quiet.” He spoke in a hushed voice and held you closer to his chest.

“NYEHEHEHE!!” The voice continued to get louder and then you heard some of the items start to hit the floor.

“Shit!” Dirk quickly flash stepped down to the end of the aisle just as it collapsed behind you. Your breathing had now quickened, you were in the frozen section and eerily the lights from inside the fridges still shone brightly. “Who’s there!?” Dirk yelled the two of you had probably lost your skateboards. You’d dropped it when the lights went out.

“I’m sorry!” The voice was distant and then you saw the shadowed figure on the other end of the frozen food aisle. Your blood ran cold.

“Don’t come any closer! Just let us go!!” You yelled at the figure, your yelling didn’t stop or even effect its continued stride. As if on cue the one way you could have exited was cut off by another shelf falling. “What’s going on!?” You gripped your boyfriend tightly, who held you equally as tight.

“I-I don’t know.” You found a weird sense of comfort in the fact that he also had no idea what was going on. You quickly reminded yourself that that did indeed mean you were both fucked. The figure was closing in on the two of you and you started crying. This was it, you were going to be killed by a murderer in the frozen food section at the shops. Least romantic place to die ever! You didn’t want to die. You wanted to have a fun Halloween and you wanted to go and party and dance with your boyfriend, not get killed!!

“T-This is all my fault.” You began to sob, Dirk looked down at you not noticing that the figure had now stopped moving.

“What?” He was obviously confused.

“I-If I hadn’t wanted you to change your costume we’d be at the party and not awaiting our own murder!” You hiccupped, clinging to the bear onesie he was still wearing.

“We aren’t going to die here (y/n). I can assure you of that.” He spoke strongly before kissing you and wiping away your tears. You nodded at him and kissed him with all your determination.

“Oh shit.” The words came over the microphone and broke the moment you were both having and the lights came back on.

“This is the manager of the store. I’m very very sorry but the two workers here seeing that it’s Halloween thought that they’d have some fun with the customers. Would you like to speak with them before I fire them and send them home?”

“FUCK YES!” You yelled.

“One moment please.” Mere minutes later two teen boys appeared with a much taller adult man. “Here are the boys.” The man spoke.

“YOU LITTLE-!” Dirk placed a hand over your mouth to refrain you from strangling the little shits.

“They broke our skateboards.” Dirk snarled.

“You broke their property!?” The man looked at the two boys, “They have skateboards, you can have them.” The two boys’ jaws dropped.

“DUDE NO-“

“Do you want me to notify your parents!?” The boys heads lowered.

“That’s fucking right.” You had moved Dirk’s hand only for him to put it back.

“We were also shopping for a Halloween-“

“We missed the party, it doesn’t matter anymore.” Your cheeks were damp, you sniffled and wiped them. That fact started to set in and you didn’t feel as angry you were just sad because you look forward to Halloween every year and this year was a dud.

“Grab your boards boys.” At this point you could careless that your board got fucked up, you cared that those little shits ruined your Halloween by scaring you half to death!  You took the boys board.

“Ruin anyone else’s Halloween and I’ll fucking get you little shits.” You glared at them before leaving the shop, Dirk by your side a comforting hand on your shoulder. You wanted to cry again. You skated home in silence.


Dirk unlocked the front door and you made your way inside, you dropped the lousy board and sniffled. “I don’t wanna be alive today. I wanna redo the day.” You started to cry again, a smile on your lips. “I can’t do that though, you just gotta roll with the punches right? Well you know what!” Your voice got louder in a matter of seconds, you sat down right where you were kneeling.

“I don’t wanna get punched at all so I don’t have to roll with them!” You trembled as you thought of how pathetic you must have looked to those teen boys watching you on the camera, probably laughing at you. “I looked so stupid!” You stood up Dirk’s hand pressed to your shoulder, you weakly shook it off. “They found it so funny! They found me being fucking terrified god damn hilarious!!” You yelled at no one in particular as Dirk stood behind you.

“I thought we were going to die Dirk. I thought that it was the end but nope!” You laughed pitifully at yourself only for your laugh to slowly choke on your own sobs. You sank to the floor, your hands covered your face, a bowl of lollies were put in front of you. You looked up at Dirk and he sat down next to you.

“Let it out.” He smiled taking your hand in his. You managed a weak smile before you started to cry again and you clung to him, you weren’t even sure why you were crying now. Probably because you thought that you were going to DIE. “We can probably still go to the party, if you want to that is.” You shook your head.

“I-I just wanna be somewhere s-safe with you.” You hiccupped as he cupped one of your cheeks and started to caress the soft flesh there.

“Movie marathon?”

“M-Movie marathon.” You smiled and leant into his touch, your eyes drooped at the action, “Can we watch anime instead? I-I’m not really up for horror right now…”


“Are you comfy?” Dirk asked as you sat curled up in his lap covered in blankets, a bowl of lollies within arm’s reach.

“Very.” You snuggled into him, watching his lips curl upwards.

“What do you want to watch?”

“The one with the gay boys.” You laughed half-heartedly.

“You mean, Ouran High School Host Club.”

“Isn’t that what I said?” He chuckled at that one placing various kisses atop your head.

“Happy Halloween (y/n).”

“Happy Halloween Dirk. Actually you know what would make this a joyous instead of a happy Halloween?”

“No?”

“If we hadn't almost died.” Dirk rolled his eyes.

“How did I know you were going to say that?”

“Are you telekinetic?”

“That’s where you move stuff with your mind.”

“Hey! I can see you judging my intelligence with those eyes!” He laughed.

“Always watching, always judging~” Sliding his shades down to show off his eyes he got closer to your face so that your noses pressed together.

“Happy Halloween (y/n)."

“You already sa-“ He cut you off with an opened mouth kiss that you were in no way ready for. Pulling away a few minutes later panting as you felt his saliva and your own mix inside your mouth you managed to speak.

“H-Happy Halloween.”
