One Shot at Dreaming

Here's for 1 shot. (Ch.23. Dreamers)

Marshall's P.O.V

I was watching the screen, attempting not to yell at it because of the Prince's stupidity. Emma had her head on my chest but I barely noticed- I was too wrapped up in the movie. She had offered to give me ride home because my car was in the shop, but instead she abducted me and was forcing me to watch the third Cinderella movie.

I was so engrossed in the movie (something I wouldn't dare to admit) that I almost jumped out of my seat when I heard a loud snore. I looked down and saw Emma, asleep on me. Of course... "Wake up!" I called out to her. Really, doesn't she know what boundaries are?

"Of course you snore. Jeez. Wake Up!" I said again, my tone exasperated- however the smile on my face gave me away. Of course nothing happened... She sleeps like a log. I poked the side of her head and blew in her ear now, another failed attempt.

"I don't even let my girlfriend fall asleep on me." I said matter-of-factly, crossing my arms over my chest indignantly. But she's nowhere near as damn adorable as- Oh no Marshall, you keep your head in the game. You are not falling for the Disney addict. Nope. Not at all.

"Are you even asleep? You're not are you." I said after a few more minutes of the movie. "You're just enjoying pissing me off. And that stupid smile on your face-" I never want it to go away..  "Who even smiles when they sleep!?" I added loudly, trying to push the thoughts away.

I waved my hand in front of her face, finding myself leaning towards her. Before I knew, it my lips were pressed lightly against her forehead. I immediately shot back up and stared at her face, hoping she hadn't felt that. What was that anyway? Get a grip Marshall! I sighed. Okay, she must be asleep.

"You're actually not that bad..." I started, voicing the thoughts I couldn't say to her face because I was afraid: afraid of the fact that I was falling for her, falling hard.

"I mean, it sucks that your friend group consists of a possessed car, a baby deer, a bunch of princesses and a snowman, but you're not half bad. Your obsession with Disney is still out of hand though." I added. That's what makes you special- you've never cared, because it's something you love. I had said the previous statement in an attempt to regain some of my manliness- You know, just in case she was awake, right? But my thoughts never failed at betraying me.

After all, 'The flower that blooms in adversity is the most beautiful of all.'  I thought, referring to Emma. Oh no. I'm quoting Disney now. Oh god, this girl will be the end of me. But there's no other way I'd rather end... Wait what? What kind of cheesy bull- Nope, okay, moving on.

"You know, Jess thinks I'm doing community service." I said, interrupting the silence. "She thinks I'm volunteering at an age-care center." I added, just in case she was awake. She was making me into a Disney sap so the least she could do is feel guilty. Right?

I don't think its working...

"...How messed up is that? I can't even tell her I'm hanging out with you. Although she'd probably question why I was spending hours a day watching Disney." Or why I'm spending so much time with you.. With good reason too!

Why am I even here? Oh right... You're my ride. And I wouldn't want to leave anyway. I looked at her, brushing some hair from her face. "You're ruining my reputation." I said softly. She wasn't just ruining my reputation. She was ruining me- I wouldn't take back any second of it though.

"And you're enjoying it." I added. I mean that smile on her face that appeared every time I came over for a Disney movie, or any time I talked Disney. It must mean something, right? I found myself hoping it did.  "And so am I." I whispered with a sigh, brushing some hair from her eyes and knowing that it wouldn't be too long before I fell completely for the girl who dreams.

OOF OKAY, fast forward to three years later (June, 2018) and I fixed some grammar on this bitch, cause damn, I be cringing. (yes I know that's not technically correct). This was a damn cute story though ( the og one- not that mine wasn't )

And wow can I take a second to point out the difference in lingo? I mean daumnn, social evolution much?
