Guts, either pre-Hawks or post-Eclipse: sitting alone in his house with the lights off so no one comes to the door
Current Guts: moping but his outdoor lights are on and he has a bowl of candy by the door.
Golden Age Guts: at Griffith’s house party wearing a costume that
matches Griffith’s, spending most of the night denying that they’re a
couple whenever anyone gushes over their cute couples costume. but those
denials get more tentative and uncertain as the night goes on and he starts to wish he wasn’t denying it. (I couldn’t think of a good matching costume idea but after seeing that last ask i want to go with angel and demon costumes tbh.)
Also Guts has been there all day helping Griffith decorate.
Golden Age Griffith: throwing a house party, taking great care in dressing himself and Guts up right before everyone starts showing up so they look perfect together, not exactly spending the whole night at Guts’ side but they keep ending up together, side by side on the couch or leaning against the wall observing people, or heading out for fresh air together.
The party goes til 3 am, and Guts and Griffith are the last ones up, drunk and cuddling on the couch together watching some horror movie on tv. Griffith rests his head against Guts’ shoulder and Guts is like, fuck it and impulsively leans down to kiss him. They end up making out for a while before passing out on top of each other.
Meanwhile Casca has met… let’s stick with Golden Age characters and go with Charlotte this time. Casca’s dressed as a pirate and Charlotte is a princess and Casca ends up say… rescuing Charlotte from a boring conversation. They end up in the kitchen getting drinks together and talking. Charlotte only just met Griffith recently and doesn’t really know anyone and is shy and awkward, Casca takes it upon herself to keep her company because Griffith and Guts are wrapped up in each other and she’s not in the mood to hang out with Corkus or Judeau all night. Eventually they ditch the party early to go walking around the neighbourhood, and find themselves sitting on swings at a playground together at 11pm, just talking about whatever. Maybe they go to Casca’s place and hook up or maybe they start a slower thing, either way.
NeoGriffith: throwing a joint house party with his platonic bff + roommate Charlotte, but Charlotte seems to be the main host and people only see Griffith around for the first hour or two. Locus and Grunbeld showed up early with extra booze in case they needed help setting up (they didn’t), and have a good time just chilling. Raksas is dressed as the scream ghostface, Irvine doesn’t show, and Zodd’s just there for the beer. Owen and Laban put in an appearance towards the end of the night, showing up between parties. Everyone leaves at a reasonable time, either to go home or to go to a wilder party. Anna and Charlotte are gfs and they stay up together to finish off the food and a few more drinks, then have great sex.
Griffith has spent the night watching the movie from that first golden age party, crying, and telling himself not to call Guts while scrolling through his facebook page hoping he doesn’t see pictures of him having fun at another party.
These scenarios can’t really be in continuity with each other bc Casca and Charlotte (or idk maybe there’s a convoluted modern au scenario that makes it work) but Griffith and Guts still first hooked up on halloween, just bc.
