I dashed out of the living room into the kitchen because the smoke alarm went off. I saw Wilbur rushing around the kitchen, cussing like a sailor while he took the burnt unidentifiable thing out of the oven. He placed it on the stover and sighed in relief that there was no fie. He turned around and gave me a concerning smile.

"Are you okay?" I asked him. "Yeah, dinner might take a bit longer than supposed to though" Will mumbled, walking to the cutting board where he attempted to chop a carrot. I stifled a laugh and walked over to him. "Here, let me do it" I said.

Will sighed, defeated, and moved to the side for me to have more room. "See, you can't put your fingers that way" I said, mimicking how his fingers were positioned on the carrot before he attempted to cut it.

"You could easily slice your fingers that way. You want to bring your fingers in, like this" I curled my fingers to keep them further away from the blade as I cut the carrot.

"Oh, okay. Thanks, Remy" Wilbur said. I raised an eyebrow at him. "You know, like from Ratatouille!" I snickered and looked back at the carrot, "You're such a nerd."

"The roast couldn't be saved, but thank God for UberEats" I said, watching over Will as he poured wine in two wine glasses. He smiled up at me and gestured for me to sit next to him on the couch. "What are we watching?" I asked Will, plopping down next to him.

"Well, a new horror movie came out, so I was going to put that on." "Ooh, spooky! What movie?" I asked. "Morbius" Wilbur replied smiling at me. My face instantly dropped and Will laughed out loud at the quick change in my facial expression. "I'm kidding! Remember, I never want to put you through any sort of pain" Will said.

I rolled me eyes, "So, what are we actually watching?" "It's rated as a horror movie but it looks more confusing than anything. Don't Worry Darling."

"Oh, that looked kind of good! Let's watch!" I exclaimed. I put portions onto two plates for the two of us while he sipped his wine and put on the movie.

I set the plates on our laps and I snuggled into Will's side. He wrapped an arm around me and kissed the top of my head before turning towards the movie. "Can't wait to see Harry Styles" I said. "Please don't tell me you're obsessed with him! I will call off the date right now!" Will joked.

"I wouldn't say I'm obsessed. I'm just curious how his acting will be." I explained. "Oh, do you think my acting is good?" Will asked me. "You act?" "I used to roleplay on a Minecraft server!" I burst out laughing.

"No wonder you feel for me out of everyone in the world. You really do pull no bitches!" I wheezed. Will frowned and shook his head, "Laugh all you want, but just know I got an army of simps from streaming on that server" Wilbur told me. "I wouldn't doubt it for a second."

TIME SKIP

The movie ended and Will and I stared at the credits rolling. "What the fuck?" Wilbur broke the silence first.

"Wait, I'm actually really confused. What does that mean?" I asked, pointing at the screen. "What? The ending or the entire movie?" Will asked me. "Um...yes?"

Will laughed and shook his head. "Oh, don't worry darling about the movie." "Don't you dare quote this movie ever again! I swear to God" I whined. "Whatever you say, darling."
