Soft Blue Eyes

15: Comfort

You and Freddy were closely huddled together as you held onto him, watching the movie in fear. You all were watching the movie "It", and to say the least, you weren't doing too well with the movie.

Horror movies had never been your favorite, and there was one part of It that made you hate the movie even more. And that thing, was clowns.

Ever since you were little, you had always been afraid of them. However, as you grew older, that fear never went away, and you always felt uncomfortable seeing or being around them.

Everyone else seemed to react to the movie normally, occasionally getting startled, but nothing over the top. However, you just cling to Freddy the entire time, and he didn't seem to mind. He could tell how much they frightened you, so he just held you, making sure to comfort you as much as possible.

Meanwhile, laying on the couch beside you guys, Bonnie and Matt were also huddled up together. Matt was laid against Bonnie's chest as Bonnie held him close, a blanket being pulled up over them. They seemed to be enjoying the movie, jumping occasionally at certain scenes.

You continued to hold onto Freddy throughout the entire movie, shaking a bit as you did. You tried to tell yourself that you were overreacting and that you were letting it get worse, but you just couldn't help it. The things terrified you.

Eventually, the movie ended, and Bonnie, Freddy, and Matt all started to chat about it, expressing their likes and dislikes about the movie. Meanwhile, you were just laying there, still holding onto Freddy, and zoned out, your mind going blank.

All that could be repeated in your thoughts was the entity from the movie, especially its clown form. You shuddered, and finally snapped out of your zoning out, and you heard Bonnie mention your name.

"What was that Bon? Sorry, I kind of zoned out for a second.." You muttered. Bonnie chimed once again, "Oh, that's alright! I was just asking you about what you thought of the movie?"

You tried to seem upbeat about it, but you failed. "I- well uhm- it was certainly.. I didn't like it.." They all looked at you with confused expressions, well except for Freddy, he could already tell. "Oh, why's that Y/N? We could've changed the movie." Matt explained.

You sighed, embarrassed of why you didn't enjoy the movie. "Well erm.. I kinda have a fear of clowns, and I don't do well with horror. I think I would've done worse if it was for Freddy here to kinda comfort me throughout it." You explained.

Everyone understood, and didn't really mention what you said again, going back to chatting about the goods and the bads of the movie. As they did that, you sat up from the couch, and walked to the kitchen.

You opened one of the cupboards and picked up a glass, shutting the cupboard back, and then walking over to the fridge. You pushed the cup against the ice dispenser, and then pushing it against the water dispenser, letting it fill up about 3/4 of the way full.

As you finally backed away from the fridge, you took a sip of the water, trying to calm yourself down. You were still tense from the movie, and you just needed a moment to calm your nerves.

After a couple minutes, Freddy walked into the kitchen, approaching you. "Hey Y/N, are you feeling better from earlier? I just came to check on you, thought I'd give you your space." He explained.

You nodded your head, "I'm fine I think, I just don't do well with horror is all. I might just go hang out in the bedroom for a bit if you wanna join me." You said softly, and set your glass down on the counter.

As you walked to the guest room, you were stuck with your thoughts. It's like you were feeling annoyed, but for what reason? You felt like you were starting to get into a bad mood, and you thought resting would help.
