Ernie loved Hallowe'en. He knew it wasn't the biggest holiday around, but it was one that really spoke to him. What other day could someone be a completely different person for 24 hours? Not that Ernie didn't like himself - quite the opposite, as so many would no doubt say - but it allowed him to explore parts of himself he usually didn't get a chance to look at. Not to mention it was always a fun opportunity to flirt with cute blokes - something that he had plentiful chances to do dressed as a Musketeer along with Justin and Wayne.
Yet even with his love of all things Hallowe'en, the crowd at Finnigan's got to him on occasion. It was a little chilly outside and he had no desire to head out to the patio for a breath of cool air, so he decided to head off for The Corner to rest his weary feet. He opened the door and smiled gently, seeing a familiar face in the corner. He could still remember the day a few weeks ago when he'd awoken on his pull-out sofa to greet Theodore, who'd slept in the bed after a night of sleepwalking. It had been so nice to wake up with someone else there, especially someone he'd started thinking of fondly, and it had him wishing that the circumstances might be different and maybe... but Theodore seemed so frail at times, and Ernie didn't even know if he'd like a bloke in a non-platonic way - if he was even in a place where he'd want to like anyone in a non-platonic way.
Bloody hell, even in his thoughts he was rambling. But it was Hallowe'en, right? It was the day to act unlike himself, to take chances and play a part he didn't always play. Maybe, just maybe...
"Well hello there, good sir," he began playfully, putting on his best honourable musketeer act. He pulled off his huge hand and waved it before using it to cover his chest. "I hope you don't mind me saying, but you look rather ravishing this evening. May I have the pleasure of your company this eve?"
