Boyfriends<3
Porko: is everyone ready for tonight?
Olli: house is clean
Aleksi: Tommi and I have been cooking all day
Niko: Joel and I are on our way to pick up drinks
Porko: and I have our costumes! Perfect
Joel: I don't suppose you'll tell us what they are?
Porko: nope
Aleksi: oh c'mon
Olli: tell us!
Porko: >:)
Niko: Joonas I swear if you got a bunch of banana costumes
Porko: hey a bunch of bananas would be a great group costume!
Niko: oh fuck is that what you actually got?
Porko: not telling
Joel: come on!
Porko: not happening
Tommi: Joonas Henrik Porko
Tommi: tell us. Now.
Porko: slightly terrifying but no.
Joonas cackled as he put away his phone, sliding back into the driver's seat of his car after getting gas and driving to pick up their costumes.
The six of them had an agreement when it came to Halloween, every year one of them would chose all of their costumes.
And well… on their most recent tour they had all gotten a bit drunk in a night in a hotel room, talking about all the upcoming birthdays
"I can't believe I'm going to be thirty." Joel had moaned. "I'm so fucking old!"
"Thirty isn't old babe!" Joonas had thrown a pillow at him, "I'm only a year younger than you, do you think I'm old?"
"It's not the same!" Joel had argued.
"18, 30, or 80," Aleksi had chimed in, "you're always our edgelord."
"More like our Disney princess," Tommi had snorted.
And that had given him a ridiculous idea.
It had taken him a little while to find somewhere where he was able to get the costumes he wanted in the sizes he'd need, but he had everybody's measurements from figuring out their stage outfits so they had no clue he had ordered something special; and he was refusing to tell them what was going on so his secret was safe until he got home and had to show them so they could get dressed.
The clerk at the costume shop just seemed a bit confused that the order was his, but rang him out all the same and Joonas quickly made his way home with the six garment bags, glad they were solid rather than see through so he could keep it secret a little while longer.
"What did you get?" Joel yelled as he made his way through the house.
"You'll know it when it's time to get ready for the party!" Joonas shouted back.
He was able to dodge them for another hour, hiding them in his closet and locking it so no one could peek while he helped with the finishing touches for the party.
The Halloween party they had planned wasn't especially large, just some of their friends and crew that they wanted the chance to actually see outside of work for once, and they were all people that they had all done far worse in front of and would laugh when they saw their group costume, as he hoped his boyfriends would, although he was sure he was going to get protests initially.
They were all going to look so pretty, Joonas thought with a sigh.
"Ok," he told them when it was finally time to get dressed. "I am going to hand each of you a bag and you'll go ahead and put them on with no complaints."
"Why do I feel like this is going to be something ridiculous?" Tommi asked as he eyed his bag.
"Just trust me," Joonas said, "it's going to be good for a laugh but I do expect all of you to be wearing it tonight."
They all looked at each other for a moment before Niko unzipped his garment bag first, pulling out something large and yellow.
"Oh for fuck sake, it is a banana!" He groaned
Joonas cackled and shook his head, "look again."
Niko shook out his costume and held it up, dumbfounded for a few moments. "Joonas, I think you were given the wrong bag."
"Oh no," Joonas said, "it was the right one. I think you're a perfect Belle."
Everyone stared at him for a moment in silence before quickly unzipping their own costumes and pulling out the various dresses.
"What is this?" Olli asked,
"That would be Sleeping Beauty," Joonas told him "for our sleeping beauty."
Aleksi examined his costume for a moment, "is this Snow White?"
"Yep," Joonas nodded, "for our black haired beauty."
Tommi just looked amused, "and I'm Merida, why?" He asked.
"Because there were a lot of bears in her movie and you're our resident bear so…"
"Yes but the queen was the one that actually got turned into a bear," Tommi argued, "so wouldn't it have been better if I was the queen?"
Joonas sighed, "I had thought about that but really I have a theme going here of princesses and that would have ruined it."
Joel met Joonas' eyes, his garment bag open but he hadn't pulled his costume out yet.
"No," he said.
"Yes," Joonas answered.
"There is not a single way in hell you can make me wear this," Joel told him.
Joonas hummed, "but it's my turn to choose our Halloween costumes."
"No way man," Joel shook his head.
"I'll suck your dick?" Joonas offered.
"You would have done that anyway," Joel retorted.
"If you really don't want to, you don't have to," Joonas admitted, "but I thought this would be fun and silly; you've been down since turning 30 and I thought this might cheer you up a bit to just act a bit ridiculous for a while."
Joel just stared at him, eyes burning a hole into his soul, "are you saying I should… let it go?"
Joonas giggled, "exactly."
With a sigh of defeat, Joel pulled the light blue dress out of the bag.
With everyone starting to get on board Joonas slipped on his own blue ball gown and started pinning up his hair.
Aleksi and Niko didn't need wigs for their costumes, so they were ready before everyone else, going to check and make sure that everything else was ready for the evening before their guests started to arrive. Joonas stayed back with the others and help them get on their wigs and their makeup set, checking in with Joel again to make sure that he's really okay with everything
"It's fine," Joel assured him, "I appreciate that you've been trying to cheer me up, I know everybody has been trying to cheer me up… I'll adjust and get over it."
"30 really isn't old Jory." Joonas said as he got the long braid settled on his head.
"I know," Joel sighed, "it's just… look at all the musicians that never made it that far."
Joonas nodded, knowing that Joel occasionally wondered why he was still around when others hadn't made it past the 27 club.
"We want you around for another 70 years at least." Joonas told him.
Joel snorted, "there's no way I make it to 100."
"You're going to damn well try," Tommi told him, fiery red wig now cascading over his shoulders, "we all are."
Joel smiled a little in the mirror, "ok, for you guys."
After a few more minutes they were already and went to join their other two boyfriends just in time for the doorbell to ring, revealing Santeri.
He took one look at all of them and turned to Tommi, "Joonas' turn to pick this year?" He guessed, making them all laugh.
"Yeah," Joonas admitted, "can you get a picture of me and my prettiest princesses?"
"He means me." Niko informed him.
There was a lot of jostling before the six of them were settled for the picture, but Joonas thought it was one of the best they had taken.
He was absolutely going to get it framed.
