Work Text:

“It’s not cheating, Snow,” I tell him for the dozenth time. “Bunce got us good and lost, it’s a life saving measure at this point.”

“I didn’t see you having a strong opinion about which way we should go at any point!” Bunce stomps her foot and crosses her arms, corn husks crunching under her tantrum.

“Everyone knows you just stay right,” I tell her. “I didn’t think I needed to lend my opinion.”

“What if someone sees me above the maze?” Snow asks, nervously looking around.

“We’ll say it was Mothman,” Shepard says with a shrug.

“Problem solved,” I say with finality. “Up you go.”

Corn falls from the stalks as his red wings spring from his back, making him look like a demon in a horror movie.

A very sexy demon.

He jumps up and is in the air with a whoosh, the force of it blowing the hair from my face. He hovers above us, taking it all in before floating back to the ground as gracefully as a bird.

“We stay right until the last fork and then it’s left straight to the exit,” he tells us, folding his wings back up neatly.

I give Bunce an “I told you so look”.

She falls for it, stomping her foot again and pointing a finger at my face, “You lead the way next time, Pitch!”

“Happy to,” I say, confidently walking the way Simon directed, hearing the rest follow suit, Bunce’s defeated huff bringing up the rear.

“Next year can we just go to a pumpkin patch?” Simon asks, grabbing my hand with a squeeze.

“Next year let’s do the haunted maze!” Shepard says, and as if on cue we hear a chainsaw rev up and a chorus of screams following.

“NO!” we all say in unison.
