5SOS IMAGINES

night paranoia - michael (bf)

it was the night of a halloween and you knew exactly what michael was going to ask you as soon as he walked into the room.

he had been begging you for weeks to watch his favourite horror movie with him. you'd refused every time but yesterday you agreed to watch it today.

he walks into the room with a huge smile on his face.

"i put all the candy in the witch thing near the door for the trick or treaters." you smile and thank him.

"can we start the movie now?" he whines. you groan at his question. "please?" he asks you, bringing out the puppy dog eyes and his pout. he knows how to manipulate you.

you laugh at his face and then walk away. not being rude but trying to stall.

"come on, baby! you promised!" he gets up and starts sorting through the movies under the television.

"but it's scary." you drag out the last word, trying to imitate him. he only laughs and comes up to you, wrapping his arms around your shoulders and pulling you towards him.

"come on, baby girl, i'm here and i won't let anything get you." you can hear the teasing in his voice.

"shut up, mikey." you whine. "you know i don't like scary movies." he spins you around so he's face to face with you.

"baby, it's a movie, it's not real. i promise this one isn't even based on a true story." you sigh.

"fine." you give into him. he cheers and runs into the lounge room, quickly putting the dvd into
the player and running over to turn turn the lights off.

"no!" he stops and looks at you. "wait till i sit down and then the lights can go off." he laughs at you.

"okay, little baby. go sit down." you stick your tongue out at him and walk over to the lounge, grabbing a blanket and wrapping yourself into.

michael turns off the lights and runs over to start the movie. he sits next to you and puts his arm around your shoulder so your head rests on his.

as the movie began, you saw the man walking through the hall, the lights turned off and you knew something wa going to happen. you heard a demon like scream and the man was attacked.

you snuggle closer to your boyfriend as the lights come back on and everything calms down.

the demon comes back when the lights go out a second time and the man ends up dead.

you have had a fear of the dark since you were young, this movie wasn't helping.

all throughout the movie, the scenes represented your worst nightmares. especially the scene where the demon grabbed the young boys ankles from under the bed.

after the movie ended, you knew you wouldn't be able to sleep that night. as michael got up to turn the tv off and the lights back on, you grabbed his arm.

"no." he can see the genuine fear in your eyes.

"baby girl, i'm turning the lights back on, there's nothing here." you shook your head, burning yourself in the blankets more, making sure your feet were tucked up under just incase.

michael walks towards the light switch and he turns it on, it flickers slightly and your breathe catches in the back of your throat.

"baby, it's ok. it was just a movie. it's not real, love." he comes closer to you picks you up.

"michael, im scared."
