The evil shadow (Despicable me x reader)

29. Movie night

The call with Bratt took another half an hour. Instead of just telling what he will do in short, he had to explain every single detail of his plan. In between, I checked if Dru was still listening. It surprised me, as the spaghettis were still on the kitchen table. However, the freezer box was open.

I found Dru in the living room, eating away several boxes of ice cream.

"Is everything alright?" I asked, seeing his cheeks getting larger from the ice cream, making him look like a hamster.

Aware of his full mouth, he tried to speak anyway, "Iampfine"

"English please"

He needed a minute before replying, "I am fine"

Inspecting the third box empty, I got concerned, "I don't know if you are a sweet tooth or heartbroken."

As if he was caught red handed, he got tense. Afraid that I have found out, he changed the subject, "Where is the spaghetti?"

"Spaghetti ice cream or the real deal?"

"The real deal."

"In the kitchen, we might have to heat it up though"

But once as we both were waiting for the microwave to do the trick, he stayed silent the whole time. At least till the food was ready.

"Who was that on the phone?"

I shrugged, "Just someone I know."

To see him fiddle with his fingers was new, "Are you too...close?"

Close...I never really thought of that. Are henchmen close to their boss? I think they do, since there is a certain kind of trust that we have for one another, "I guess so."

Ouch! An answer Dru didn't like to hear, "How close...exactly?"

He was acting really weird just now, "why do you want to know? He is close, that is all there is to it." My harsh tone seem to have got him out of his odd behaviour. Dru sees his opportunity to get closer to me than the person,grabbing the plated and forks, "Lets eat before the girls come home." This guy is not right in the head, I thought, his constant change of moods are disturbing. In the living room it didn't change either, his smile was gigantic as he placed a DVD into the DVD player.

"I am sure you will like that movie"

I checked the DVD cover, "You know that this is a horror movie, nothing for kids."

"We are no children N\A"

"But the three girls, that will come home very soon"

He said, that we will watching it till then. Dru had a plan and assumed that this will work. The beginning was not so special, which gave us enough time to finish our spaghettis. As we leaned back on the couch, I felt him move around, with an arm crawling over to my site. Once the first scary scene appeared, the arm was withdrawn and a scream erupted...from Dru.

Amused by this, I asked him sweet, "Uh, jumpy are you?"

With his hands on his face, only revealing his eyes, he pretended to scare me instead. Nice try Dru, I thought, shrugging it off. However, it seems that the movie turned from a horror movie to comedy, at least for me. Dru reminded me of a certain comedian in a cinema. Using his hands to cover his eyes, I couldn't help but laugh at this every time. I never met a man like that before. In the middle of the movie, the door bell rang. Dru breathed out relieved, turning the player off.

I heard how Margo called out to us, "N\A, Uncle Dru?"

"In the living room!"

Pretend to be interest, I asked how their school day was. The three looked at each other, before looking a little irritated, "Weird. The day was like any other, not like the one yesterday."

"Is that so?" I asked, while thinking, wait till tomorrow.

Now fully recovered from his shocks, Dru joined in, "How come?"

Edith answered, "All our teachers are back to normal. It is like they weren't themselves the last time." Margo nodded, "like they were someone else." I had to resist an evil smile, that the girls were still unaware of the truth, it was simply hilarious for me. Dru however, wants to lift up their moods, "I got some candy and movies. Tonight is movie night!"

And indeed it was.

The girls were stuffing themselves with the stuff. A little concerned of the amount they take, I whispered over to Dru, "Don't you think it is a bit too much"

"Relax, they will be fine."

"As their babysitter I don't think it is such a good idea"

Dru grinned, "And as their second babysitter, I find it okay."

Now that is new to me, "Second?"

He nodded, "That is right,we babysit them together"

"Gru never told me about it"

"I am sure he just forgot to tell you. Don't worry N\A, together we will be the best babysitters ever."

I got to admit, he sure has a lots of confidence. His movement has also got more. While the girls sat on the floor, we stayed on the couch. Dru pulled one leg over the other and the arm closer to my shoulders. Edith looked over to us, "Is there more candy?" I raised a brow, seeing her face covered with chocolate and other sweet stuff, "You had enough. There were over nine packages of candy and already gone in half an hour?"

"Stress eating" replied Margo.

"You are way to young to be stressed and besides, this is not a way to deal with it." I faced Dru for support, "Got anything to say to this?"

"...there is more in the fridge."

"Dru!"

With the sugar in their bloodstream, they were quickly out of my sight. I gritted my teeth at the man, "If they get sick, you drive them to the hospital!" Dru shrugged, "Keep calm and have fun. They will be fine,trust me."

I couldn't be as laid back as him. Moreover, I could never trust the enemy.
