Tongue-Tied (Jamie x Reader)

8: Movies

That's when a knock on the door could be heard. [Name] paused her game, went to open it, and saw a man with shaggy and unkempt blonde hair with black roots. He wore red pants, a black shirt, a camo-green jacket, and brown boots. He, similar to Ryu, had facial hair. But he didn't have a lot. "Hey, your [Name] right? Nice to meet you."

"Hi, Ken!" Chun-Li called.

"Don't start that Barbie doll shit–"

Ryu chuckled and patted a spot next to him for Ken to sit. He took his shoes off and sat beside the black-haired man after getting himself a cup of coffee. "So, people outside Chinatown have been talking about The Hula Hale? ... I may wanna try some. Hey, [Name], have you thought of takeout services?" Ken asked.

"Yeah, but I'm not sure what my mom would think," she replied.

"Oh, screw what she thinks! She's in Hawaii! You're in Metro City where you can do what you wish with your business. I like the idea of takeout services," Chun-Li said.

"Same here," Ryu added.

Another knock was heard. This time, Chun-Li went to answer it, seeing that it was Manon, Marisa, and Lily. "We're here!!" they said in unison.

Ryu waved to them as they came inside, setting their things down by the window. As the hour passed, Dee Jay, Luke, and Kimberly made their way to Hong Hu Lu. "Is there anyone we're missing?" Kimberly asked.

Before anyone could say anything, there was a final knock on the door. Luke snickered and whispered it to Kimberly. Her eyes widened and she giggled. "Who votes [Name] to open the door?" she called.

Almost everyone raised their hands. [Name] sighed and went to open the door, seeing that it was Jamie. He wore a Pompompurin onesie and had a Pikachu plush in his duffel bag. Why did he look worthy of cuddling? "Oh! Hey, Jamie!" she said softly.

"Hey, [Name]! Long time no see!" he replied with a bright smile.

[Name] giggled and let him enter the room, ignoring the flush on her cheeks. "Finally! You, of all people, are here! We waited an hour for you to arrive!" Luke said with a laugh.

"Oh, hush up, you random voice in my head!" Jamie called like he wasn't there.

"We're all here now! Everyone, get settled! We're gonna start a movie! Li Fen, wanna get the popcorn ready?" Chun-Li asked.

Li Fen nodded and ran to the kitchen, sliding in her socks. She got 18 bags of popcorn and put one at a time in the microwave. "Jesus, that's a lot," Marisa muttered.

"But it's for good measures," Manon replied.

"I have many cards here, and whatever one [Name] picks, that's the movie we're watching. Now I have the key; each card from a different game represents a different movie," Chun-Li explained.

She set the cards face-down. [Name] looked at the cards, thinking. Her mind wanted to choose the Go Fish card, but then there was the Solitaire card. However, she chose the Uno card, flipping it over to see a Reverse icon. "Uno Reverse," [Name] mumbled.

"Ooh! That means... Slumber Party Massacre!" Chun-Li exclaimed happily.

"NO!! I'M NOT WATCHING THAT!!" Luke shrieked.

"It's just a bunch of high school girls talking about sports, being friends, showing off their tits and asses, and getting murdered by a dude with a drill. It's nothing much. I mean, giving some credit to another dude means they have to follow the criteria. And thank God I remembered what it was," Ken added.

"What were the criteria for this movie?" [Name] asked.

Ken leaned back and responded. "Well, since screening rights were given to Roger Corman, you had to incorporate three things into a movie. And they go as follow; tits, butts, blood."

Lily shook her head rapidly as Manon sighed, giving her the eagle plush as she ran out of the room. "Gracias."

"Je t'en prie," she replied.

(A/N: means You're welcome in French)

Li Fen came in with two large bowls full of popcorn as Chun-Li went onto TubiTV to search for the movie. "Found it!"

Marisa took out the protein shake that she'd made earlier and took a small sip. "This is nothing like the kills that gladiators brought out on their victims," she said.

"Well, shit. It may be different. I mean, there's that psycho dude with a drill that Ken mentioned a few minutes ago," Jamie replied.

Chun-Li and [Name] giggled as she started the movie, going to sit next to Ryu. He smiled softly and wrapped an arm around her as he glanced at a trembling Luke. "Hey, man. We're 6 seconds into the movie, and you look like you're gonna crap yourself," [Name] said.

"I hate horror games and horror movies!!" he exclaimed.

Ryu chuckled as Kimberly got on his back, roughly ruffling his hair. "There's that, ladies and gentlemen."

Jamie sighed and took out a bag of kettle popcorn he'd brought. He put it between himself and [Name], saying she could have some if she wanted. Her cheeks went red at his proposal, and she nodded, taking one bit of popcorn and popping it into her mouth. "And if you get scared, we're right here for you," he added.

This was already going to be a fun night.

...

By the time the movie was over, Luke had covered himself up with a blanket to avoid the scares and blood. [Name] was hiding behind Jamie, who was majorly spooked by the pizza guy who had his eyes gouged out by the drill. "That got me good!" he said shakily.

[Name] gave him a gentle pat on the shoulder, which seemed to calm him down a lot. Lily, whenever a kill came up, had her eyes covered by Manon. Chun-Li had been burying her face in the crook of Ryu's neck whenever a scream was heard. It was a sign of something bad, according to her. Marisa hardly flinched, but only once or twice. Ken hadn't enjoyed the scenes incorporating nudity, but he had only flinched whenever someone was killed or the scene looked tense. "Thanks a lot, Roger Corman. No wonder all of your movies have tits, butts, and an ass-load of blood," he grumbled.

Manon had been caring for Lily's safety while getting the scares herself. Li Fen had avoided the movie as much as she could. She wasn't ready for those movies yet. As for Dee Jay, he jumped each time the music spiked to show suspense. "Dat did quite di movie!" he exclaimed.

"DON'T MAKE ME WATCH THAT AGAIN!!" Luke yelled.

He fell onto the floor, curled up in a ball. Horror games scared him already. Why make him watch a scary movie? But what surprised him was that Jamie never commented about how scared he got sometimes. It relaxed him a tiny bit. "Yeah! Now, to get that off our minds, what do we wanna do?" Manon asked.

Marisa shrugged, taking another sip of her protein shake. Lily walked over to Li Fen and brought her in, saying the movie was over. Luke then got up and out of his blanket, tossing it straight at [Name]'s face. "How about a nice, classic game of Uno?"

Jamie rolled his eyes, a playful smirk on his face. This was going to get pretty chaotic. With the number of people in the room and the countless possibilities of someone turning their back on the other, he knew damn well to not spare anyone. Not even Luke.
