Connor snuggled back against James as the credits rolled. “What did you do for Halloween?”

“Con?” James sounded confused in his half-asleep mumble.

Connor squirmed around, apologising for a misplaced elbow, until he could look James in the eye. “Dad used to take me trick and treating, just the two of us. I used to dress up.”

“I can imagine.”

“Didn't you when you were a kid?”

“No, not really.” James paused before reluctantly adding, “I used to go with my kids.”

“Oh.” Connor pulled himself up for a kiss. “Sorry.”

“Not your fault, Con.” James sighed. “Why the questions?”

oooo, some background, although, from the sounds of it, not exactly pleasant for James. Poor darlin'. **snuggles James & Connor**

Poor James, but now he has Connor and I bet he wants to do something special for Halloween with James ^_^

A very sweet, cozy scene.

Aw, poor James.

Aw. Sad for James but a lovely little domestic scene.

Uh oh, I sense angst and backstory!

Maybe it's a chance for Connor to find out more about his step-kids. I get the impression that James doesn't see them much, reading between the lines.
