“It’s so bad!” You whined as you shoved your hand into the pumpkin, pulling out the seeds and guts. Sydney had opened up the pumpkin and was on her laptop flicking through designs while you scooped out the inside into a bowl.

“Stop being so dramatic,” Sydney teased as she continued to scroll through pinterest. She glanced up at your scrunched up face and was smiling to herself.

“You do it then,” You retorted, narrowing your eyes. She shook her head and you went to flick some pumpkin guts at her face but she ducked to the side. You pouted and returned back to the pumpkins, scooping more and more out. It was horrible. You should have just got a scooper but you had committed yourself to it now.

“What about this?” Sydney asked, turning her laptop to a pinterest page. The pumpkin design she had pulled up was simple but cute. It was a cat face and they had used skewers to stick the excess pumpkin as cat ears. It was adorable. You couldn’t help but smile, temporarily being able to ignore the slimy feeling of pumpkin in your hand, “Or this?” Sydney added as she flicked to a different tab. This one had a pumpkin that was covered in stars. Some were carved bigger, some more were just holes that would let out light. You bit your lip, thinking it over as you scooped out the last of the guts.

“We should’ve got another pumpkin then we could do both. I think they’re both cute,” You muttered, the corners of your lips turning down a little. She then looked back down at the designs and flicked between them, tilting her head to the side slightly.

“Hey, you decided on one pumpkin,” Sydney argued. You shook your head, pulling your pumpkin guts hands out from the pumpkin before you got up and walked over to the sink.

“I said we should get two but you didn’t want to because you didn’t want to have to carry it. That’s not my fault,” You shrugged as you squirted some soap onto your hands and then began to wash them off.

“We’re doing the cat,” Sydney decided and you grinned. You couldn’t help yourself. Secretly, it had been the design you preferred and Sydney seemed to know that. You washed the soap on your hands and wiped it off on a towel before you walked back over to her. She was sitting down still, grabbing a pencil so she could trace on the skin of the pumpkin.

You wrapped your arms around her neck from behind, leaning over to rest your cheek against her head. You then turned over and pressed a kiss to the top of her head before sighing and snuggling into her from where you were standing behind her.

“We putting it in the window?” You asked, curiously. She looked up, tilting her head back and placing the pencil down. You looked into her eyes, letting a smile spread across your face before you pecked her lips.

“Sure,” She responded. You grinned and pecked her lips and then moved down to peck her nose and then forehead before she tilted her head back forward. You loved the gentle affection with Sydney. It reminded you that it was all worth it and you had been waiting to carve these pumpkins all month.

You had been so excited and so you were excited to be doing it with Syd - finally.
