Horror Films? Bring It On!

"I will be the first man to kiss you, to bed you. Whether you come willingly or not, you will b-"

"Mine and mine alone. Do you understand?"

I jumped a mile as a voice came from behind.

"Why do you watch these?"

"Because..." I said, sliding out of my chair and standing up beside him, putting my fingers along his back, crawling upwards like a child does. "I love you...and Doctor Who." I smiled and he frowned.

"Sorry but I don't understand what that has to do with this?"

"It's a multi-fandom video."

"Multi-fandom?"

"Thor and Doctor Who."

"Righttt."

"In this one you've, I mean Loki, has taken over Amy Pond and is threatening to...why are you laughing?"

"Because, you're adorable."

"Thank you. Now if you don't mind."

I put my hand on his back and attempted to push him out of the door when he sighed and frowned.

"Rach? Are you kidding me?"

I looked at him and dropped my shoulders. "What?"

His face looked hurt and he folded his arms in a strop. "Why on earth would you want to watch those fan vids, when I could, 'renact them with you?" His eyebrows shifted and he smirked. I frowned in disgust. "You kidding me? Nope sorry Tom. I love you but you can't do sexy."

"Huh? I think you'll find that many fangirls across the world would disagree with you!"  He sighed again.

"Now please. There's a horror film I want to watch."

"Ahh I love horr-" I put my hands on my hips and frowned. "I'll be learning my lines 'Mum'(!)".

"Christiana, move away from ther-" 

"Arrgghhh!"

"Arrgghhh!!!!"

I sat there, cradling my cushion and covering my eyes in fear. Twenty minutes into the film and I was already running low on popcorn and a voice box. "T-Tom?"

"Yeah?"

"C-can you come i-?

As quick as a flash, he came running in, bounced on the sofa and wrapped his arms around me. He sighed and smiled and I leant back to rest my head on his muscled and toned body. He was wearing a fluffy, navy blue jumper that felt like on heaven to rest on.

"Tom,"

"Hummh?"

"I love you."

"Yeah, yeah." He joked. "Love you too."

"No I mean it." I said, fondling the bobbles of his jumper between my thumb and index finger. I felt him shift and turn and in a moment, his eyes were fixed on mine, dreamy and beautiful. He smiled and I watched the tiny crinkles around his eye appear. I reached up to touch his soft, tanned cheeks and gorgeous brown, wavy locks of hair. His lips moved slightly and he said "And I love you, with all my heart. Every single minute of every single day, I spend thinking of you and I can't wait until I get home when I can see your beautiful face, hear your angelic laugh, feel your perfect touch..." His voice trailed away as he moved in closer.

"Will you kiss me?"

"It would be my pleasure..."

A cackle came from the television and we both jumped away, screaming. Then with a flash and a click, the lights went out, car and house alarms started and we were left there, sat on the sofa in the dark, terrified yet still holding each other's hand.

"Power cut. Do you know what we should do now?" He whispered and I turned to face him.

"I've got some idea."
