Eddie The Bloody Handed *STEVEXEDDIE*

Steve Watches A Scary Movie

Back to Steve's P.O.V-

I slowly open my eyes and sit up in my bed. I look around and my eyes fall on the clock on my bedside table that reads eleven thirty am. I sigh and run a hand through my hair. I stand and walk over to my desk to see a sticky note on it.

"Nancy MY FRIEND called and asked if I could come over so I left early, see ya later! - Robin"

I smile and shake my head at the note. I sit the note back on my desk and walk out of my room. I walk downstairs and see Eddie sitting on the couch flipping through channels on the TV. I turn and walk into the kitchen to make myself breakfast. I grab a bowl, a box of cereal and a jug of milk from the fridge. I pour the cereal into the bowl but stop when I feel eyes on me. I turn my head slightly and Eddie is right next to me. I scream and lose my footing but I'm caught before I can hit the ground. I grab onto his shoulder to try and catch myself. 

"Sorry I didn't mean to scare you Harrington."

I try to catch my breath as I look at him. "You should be. You nearly gave me a heart attack."

"Your heart is beating really fast."

"No shit, you just scared the hell out of me Eddie." I use his shoulder to pull myself up but stop when our faces are inches from each other.

I can feel heat in my cheeks but I can't move. We stare at each other for what feels like forever.

"S-Sorry.." I mumble as I move my face away and stand back up. He leans against the counter saying nothing as I go back to making my breakfast. 

I grab a spoon and begin eating my breakfast. 

"Do you maybe want to watch a movie or something tonight?" Eddie asks after a few minutes of silence.

I swallow the food in my mouth and look at him "Sure, got a certain movie in mind?"

He nods "Yeah, but it'll be a surprise. I'll ask Robin if she'll pick it up for us."

I raise my eyebrow "Alright? Well it better be something good Munson."

"Oh it will be."

I really should have said no when Eddie asked if I wanted to watch a movie. I should have known he'd pick something awful. He didn't tell me what the movie was until I found out for myself. And of course he'd chose a horror movie of all things, but I'd just have to tough it out so he didn't think I was a baby.

All the lights in the house were turned off and we both sat on the couch in the living room. I tried to keep my eyes on the TV screen but every time something popped out I'd turn my head away.

An hour and a half later and the movie was over, thank god. That movie was horrible and scary an I will never sleep again. I don't care how many horrifying things I've seen in my life, this takes the cake. 

Eddie went over to the VHS player and popped the tape out. He puts it back in the package and sits it on the coffee table. I stay on the couch with my legs pulled up to my chest.

He looks at me "You alright there Harrington?"

I nod and pry myself up from the couch "Yeah, yeah I'm fine, just tired."

He nods "Alright well then I guess I'll let you get to bed then. Sleep well."

I turn and walk upstairs to my bedroom, immediately flipping on all the lights in my room on. I begin to get ready for bed, stripping down to my underwear. I take a deep breath once I'm ready for bed and flip the lights off. I stare at the darkness for no longer than two minutes before I deciding I won't be able to sleep tonight.

I quickly flip the light back on and lay down in my bed. I try to fall asleep but the light is too bright. I turn the lamp on my bedside table on and turn my room light off but it only lit up a small portion of my room. I sit up and bed and try to think of a solution. 

Finally I decide to do the only thing that might let me sleep. I get up and throw on a t-shirt then I open my bedroom door and quietly walk downstairs to the living room. All of the lights were still off and now so was the TV. 

"Eddie?" I asked quietly to the dark room.

I take a couple of steps forward and squint, trying to see anything in the darkness. 

"Thought you went to bed." A voice came from behind me. I scream and almost hit the ceiling with how high I jumped. 

Eddie quickly flicks the living room light on "Little jumpy are we Steve?"

I could feel myself shaking now and when I tried to respond nothing came out of my mouth.

Eddie frowns "Steve you're shaking." He walks over and gently puts a hand on my shoulder "Are you alright?"

"W-We shouldn't have watched that movie.." I said in a quiet shaky tone.

"Is that what's got you so jumpy? I didn't know it would scare you this much."

"W-Well it did..." I stare at the floor.

"I'm sorry. Hey look at me." When I don't lift my head he places his fingers under my chin and lifts it up. "What can I do to make you less afraid?"

I swallow any pride I had left which was probably closer to none right now. "Come sleep with me. I don't want to sleep alone."

His face turns a light pink color and he doesn't respond for a moment. He sighs "Alright fine, if that's what you want."

He turns and walks up the stairs and I follow a few steps behind him. I follow him into my room and watch him as he pulls the curtains on the window closed. 

He looks at me "Don't want to burn to death in the morning."

I nod a little and sit on the edge of my bed, my back towards him. I felt so embarrassed for acting like this but I was genuinely scared of any horror movie that isn't one of those cheesy black and white films.

I feel the bed dip behind me and Eddie puts his hands on both of my shoulders "I'm sorry that you're so freaked out. I promise no more horror movies."

"I don't know who I'm more upset with, you for playing the movie or Robin for telling you how I feel about scary movies."

"Well blame me, not Robin. I was the one who got the movie."

I turn my body to look at him "Fine then I'll blame you. I'd guilt trip you if I could."

"Well you can get right on it tomorrow when the suns out. Right now it's sleep time."

I roll my eyes at him and get under the covers. I turn my back towards him and click the lamp off. I close my eyes and listen to the sound of him moving around on the bed. Eventually he stops moving and his presence allows me to fall asleep.
