Amira and Amaan looked at each other in the mirror and giggled. They preened in their Halloween costumes, selected after much deliberation, many hours of watching several Disney movies and a fair few pizza nights.
Amira looked bright and beautiful with her tiger face paint courtesy her daddy, snug in her Rajah costume. “I’m brave and loving Baba. I wanna be Rajah, Princess Jasmine’s pet.”
Abu, Aladdin’s pet monkey was Amaan’s favourite character in the film and was very happy to be a monkey. He looked adorable in his costume with a cute tail.
The 4-year-old twins were buzzing and excited to step out with their fathers and collect as much candy as they could. Before that they had to find out which dad was going as Aladdin and which one as Jasmine.
“I think Baba’s hair is pretty like Princess Jasmine’s, so daddy will be Aladdin” Amaan decided.
“Baba is Aladdin. He said it on stage” insisted Amira.
They had been instructed to wait while Baba and Daddy got into their costumes.

Liam was having flashbacks to the Best Song Ever music video when his husband was dressed as a sexy secretary. He could not peel his eyes away from Zayn, standing in front of their full-length mirror, his hair soft and loose around his shoulders, adjusting the off-shoulder turquoise blue top, fake boobs and all, and the flowing ankle-length matching skirt. He quickly stepped up to him and wrapped his hands around his husband, skimming the couple of inches of exposed flat and toned midriff.
Zayn leaned back into his husband’s broad chest and looked up into his eyes via the mirror.
“Jaan I just want to skip the entire top and wear a blue tee or summat. This is so embarrassing!”
“You are more gorgeous than any princess babe. I can’t wait for us to get back home and do a repeat of the post video shoot from ages ago!”
Liam gently turned Zayn around and locked their lips for a few precious moments. He forced himself to stop before things got out of hand and they ended up with a couple of impatient trick or treaters. He took a moment, however, to admire the thick khol in Zayn’s eyes making him look ravishing. Zayn had applied khol in Liam’s eyes as well. The husbands loved to match.
“You look so handsome, no one’s gonna care about me dressed as a Disney princess, but, why aren’t you fully dressed yet babe?” Zayn smirked with waggling eyebrows, running his hand over his hubby’s naked back.
Liam already had his rich burgundy harem pants on. He simply had to slip on the barely-there royal purple vest to complete his Aladdin’s outfit.
The dads quickly did a last costume check, slipped on comfortable sneakers, stole a kiss or three, and went to find their pets Abu and Rajah.
As soon as their door opened, the twins jumped up and ran to their dads squealing, fake tails wagging in their excitement.
“Yayy, I was right. Baba is Princess Jasmine.” Amaan the little monkey ran around his dads happily.
Liam insisted on 99 pictures of all of them individually and together, “the boys and our families asked babe!” Zayn as always indulged him with a fond eye roll.
“You know of course, I’m gonna take a lot more of just you, later” Liam whispered into hubby’s ear, satisfied with the pretty shade of pink tinging Zayn’s embarrassed face.

All armed with their candy baskets, final costume check done, comfy shoes slipped on, Liam sang loudly, “Who’s ready to go Trick or Treat in A Whole New World?”
With a loud cheer they stepped out that Halloween, Liam as Aladdin, Zayn as Jasmine, Amira as Rajah and Amaan as Abu. As enamoured as the entire neighbourhood was by the adorable twins, they were equally dumbstruck by the gorgeous dads.

Later that night, cuddling in bed, Zayn whispered, “I love you Jaan, you’re my whole new world”.
