Bullied Little Hipster

Chapter 8: Movie Night

                           Eridan POV

Now that Sollux and I are friends things have been quite weird lately. Sollux looks at me with these strange looks. He's always looking at me when he thinks I'm not looking, but I can practically feel his eyes on me. It's strange, yet I'm not complaining about it.

To celebrate our new friendship, Sollux decided that we should have a movie night. He's currently picking the movie, while I'm setting up the snacks. I'm so happy about this because I've never had a movie night before. Sollux is going to educate me on what to do on a movie night.

"Hey Eridan! I'm back! I got uth a horror movie." Sollux yelled out. I could hear him walking into the living room and sitting on the couch. I was finishing the last of the snacks as Sollux was preparing the DVD player.

"Yo ED where you at?" He called out.

"I'm in the kitchen finishing the last of the snacks." I replied. When I finished I grabbed the snacks with expert grace as I walked into the kitchen.

"So, wwhat're wwe wwatching? It better be a good movvie." I warned. He just chuckled and ruffled my hair which made me whine at it getting messed up. How dare he fluff up my hair?

"We're watching a horror movie. The movie ith Nightmare on Elm Street." He said in what was supposed to be a spooky voice. I just chuckled at his attempt. We turned the lights off so that it could feel like a movie theater. We put the bowl of popcorn in between us so that we could both get some. We saw some interesting previews of movies like, Friday the 13th and Chucky. When the previews were over the beginning of the movie was dark. I was so excited. This was going to be epic.

                           Normal POV

This movie is insane. This was the thought of our resident little hipster, Eridan Ampora. Currently Eridan was squeezing a pillow to death because of the newly realized fact that Eridan was terrified of horror movies. He flinched at the gory parts and the screams. Although he wasn't paying attention, Sollux could see that Eridan was scared. He held Eridan's hand to reassure him. Eridan looked up at Sollux.

"Hey, it'll be alright. It'th just a movie. It'th not real." He comforted.

                             Sollux POV

Damnit I didn't know that Eridan was afraid of horror movies. I feel bad now. I kept my hand on Eridan's just to reassure him and that wasn't working too well. He was still shaking although not as bad as before. His skin was pale and clammy. He had a death grip on a innocent pillow.

When I decided to turn off the movie, a scream rang through the apartment. Eridan jumped and clung onto me with his face buried in my shoulder. I was so embarrassed and a little happy that he hung onto me. I didn't know what else to do except pat his back.

"Um, there there?" I said. His shivering stopped for a second and he slowly removed his face from my shoulder. He blushed and stuttered out multiple sorries. Then I realized the position we were in and blushed too.

I was on my back with Eridan on top with my hand on his lower back. His hands were on my chest with his legs entwined with mine.

All in all, was a strange movie night.
