“Come on, would you keep flexing.” Starsky moaned as he applied more golden paint to Hutch’s bicep.

“Why did I even let you talk me into this?” Hutch said, examining his body in the bathroom mirror. “I look like an Oscar statue.”

“I’ve always wanted to win one of those.” Starsky smirked. “Anyway, you’re meant to be a Greek God, and don’t forget it.”

“I’m pretty sure Greek Gods wore more than just a loin cloth and there’s no way I can go out dressed like this. I’ll catch a cold.”

“We’re not going out remember, the party is at our house.” Starsky finished the left bicep and moved on to the other side of Hutch’s body.

“You just better remember our deal. I do this for you this year and next year I get to say what you go as.”

“That’s the deal.”

Once Hutch’s whole body was generously covered in gold paint, Starsky took a moment to admire his creation. Unfortunately Hutch wasn’t posing like a God and kept trying to hide his figure with his arms.

“Trust me, everyone will love it. Now, I need to get out there and get ready myself.” Starsky left Hutch to put on his loin cloth, trying his best not to get paint anywhere else. He’d have to spend the whole night being careful where he sat and what he touched. He’d be lucky if he had any fun at this thing.

After getting dressed it took a few extra minutes for him to build up the courage to leave the bathroom. Stepping out he tried to strike an heroic pose, but was stopped when he saw no one in the room. He checked the clock; it was 8pm. Someone should have arrived by now. It’s then he noticed Starsky sat in his fan chair, also dressed in a loin cloth.

“Where is everyone?” Hutch asked

“I told them to come at 9:00,” Starsky said. “I need an hour to worship my God.”

Hutch came over and knelt down next to Starsky. “We’re going to get golden paint everywhere.”

“Don’t worry, I got you an actual Zeus costume. This was just for me.” He wiggled his eyebrows. He leaned in to give Hutch a deep long kiss, smearing paint all over his face.

They broke apart briefly. “Happy Halloween.”
