Part 1
When my parents told me they'd be out for the next days, I happily told my friend about the movie nights we could have.
Most of our family members live quite a distance away from us, so whenever my parents go to visit them, we watch a couple of horror movies, that my parents wouldn't allow me to watch otherwise.
After school, while I prepared the snacks he put on the movie and we were prepared for a couple more tonight.
As always we sat down with a blanket and put the snacks in front of us, while starting the movie.
We had a long day at school today, so it was 6pm already. The fact that it was winter, made it way cozier with the blanket and the hot chocolate we had.
His living room had a cozy aesthetic anyway. It was already dark outside as well. The first movie wasn't scary at all but the second one got me.
I can't stand ghost stories and this one had a lot of mentally unstable Characters too, which made the overall feeling really creepy...
I started to get more and more scared with each jumpscare but tried to shrug it off. He'd make fun of me for an entire month for getting scared if he'd notice.
That was a one time thing, when i got so scared by a movie that he had to hug me for the other half of it's runtime.
He instantly made me feel better and safe but there was a weird tension between us that day.
Maybe he was kinda scared by that movie too that day? I still don't know how to categorize what i felt that day...
Another jumpscare snapped me out of my thoughts and i tensed up even more than before hoping that the scariest parts would be over soon.
Right now we were sitting next to each other in order to share the blanket, I knew i would cling onto him by the next moment, when another surprising event occurs in the movie, which of course happened in a few seconds.
Jolting up and clinging onto him I held him tight and closed my eyes, resulting in him jumping up as well before realizing what happened and hugging me back.
"Scared?"
He said.
I could hear the teasing in his voice but i was just too creeped out to fight back.
"yeah..."
I said and closed my eyes hugging him tighter. His expression now kinda changed and he held me tighter putting the blanket up again, since it fell down from our movements.
"We can stop watching if you want"
"No, it's okay"
I looked up at him and smiled for reassurance before shifting my gaze back at the screen. He chuckled
"If you just wanted to hug me you could've told me"
"Hey! I was really scared"
"woah~ you're admitting~"
But that interaction got interrupted by the movie. We both closed our eyes and held each other tighter. The worst parts of the movie were over and it just started to become boring, when i started to doze off
"Oh, come on! You're already sleeping? What's with 'I'll stay up all night'?"
"I wanna sleep"
I mumbled. I heard him sigh before he let me lay down on the couch and went into the kitchen probably to drink water i don't know.
I must've fallen asleep after that. I woke up and realized he was still sleeping in his bed so i decided to go make some food.
"You awake? How long did I sleep? Who are you? where's my sleepy girl?"
He was still half asleep saying that.
"You just woke up, why so witty?"
I said. Still, I was wondering why him calling me his sleepy girl made me feel some type of way...
"Can we eat now?" He whined.
"Yeah, soon." I answered.
After hearing this he prepared the table for the both of us and not long after that we started eating. We didn't really talk much though. I noticed that he was probably still hungry. I knew I should've made more....
Cleaning everything up i was thinking about what we should do when he asked the same question out loud.
"I don't know."
I said.
"We're ditching classes today, so going outside would be risky."
"No risk,-"
"no fun"
I interrupted having heard this about a trillion times from him already. He smiled upon hearing it. Seconds of silence followed, since we were both thinking about what we should do.
"Monopoly?"
He asked. I hummed not having a better idea. I was about to sit next to him, when he got up to walk into his room and came back shortly after with the game.
We prepared everything and started playing. The first few turns were quite boring since nothing really happened. Throwing dice, walking, buying, next, repeat. He sighed before he said
"You know what? Let's switch things up."
"How?"
"I don't know what could we do to make it more exciting?"
I shrugged. We ended up looking for different monopoly versions on the internet.
"How about this one?"
He said showing a website with instructions for a 'quick exciting monopoly rush'. The title wasn't convincing but i quickly scanned over the text to get a rough idea on the rules. Surprisingly, it was interesting so i said
"Let's give it a try."
We started mixing the cards then giving half of them to each of us. After that we threw one dice each, added two zeros to the number and got that amount of money.
Now we played with the regular rules. The game was more exciting since we immediately started trading and trying to get more money to buy houses but it wasn't quite it.
Suddenly, his stomach growled and we looked at each other in amusement before breaking out in laughter.
"Let's eat something"
"Sure, what?"
I asked back.
"Wanna cook or order?"
He asked, already knowing what my answer would be.
"You know i prefer homemade food-"
"Though you're lazy."
He interrupted.
"Yeah."
We chuckled again.
"I love how well we know eachother."
I said getting up to cook some food.
"That's why everybody says we'll end up together."
He exclaimed proudly.
"Especially our parents."
Now he was imitating our parents talking to eachother.
"Oh, they are so lovely together, aren't they? Oh dear, i wonder when they'll finally tell us they're dating. It's so obvious. Honestly, i'm waiting for a wedding invitation."
I lost it instantly, because of his imitation of my mothers british accent. It was way too hilarious. His hand motions were so accurate.
"Legendary!"
I said cracking up at it. We kept joking around, almost burning the food a couple of times.
"You're so cute"
He mumbled. I looked at him and realized how precious he is to me. I put the food on the plates and we ate.
Since we still had no clue what we should do now and it were just two plates i decided to wash them now instead letting them wait in the sink.
I thought he was in another room because of how silent it was but suddenly I felt two hands on my waist hugging me from behind.
I tensed up a bit before calming down and realizing that it's him.
"What are you doing?"
I asked.
"You don't like it?"
He mumbled, sounding a bit sleepy - or dreamy?
"No, it's not that..."
I said shyly.
"I'm pretty sure you're blushing right now... I wish i could see it."
This made me blush even more and when i finally dried my hands he turned me around to face him. I couldn't look at him at all but we were too close to look somewhere else.
He saw me, obviously struggling to avoid eye contact so he put his hand on my cheek and gently made me look at him. Now I was pretty sure my cheeks caught fire.
Why was he so close? Why was my heart beating like crazy? How could he make me feel like this?
