The Black Phone (One shots!)

"Don't be a wimp" (Finney + Gwen) (Gender neutral)

Since you were a little kid you've loved horror movies it didn't matter if they were a horror-comedy or just a plain old horror movie. As long as it had anything scary in it, you would watch it. You had to give credit of this obsession to your dad, he was your go to person to watch that stuff with. He was the person who introduced you to your first ever horror movie.

Your friends don't like horror movies much but Finney on the other hand atleast tried to sit through them. Most of the times he can, his sister although also has a love for horror movies, of course not as much as yours. You and Gwen enjoy teasing Finney saying stuff like "You probably can't sit five minutes through a Saw movie" "You can't handle even a little bit of blood". Of course Finney and his big ego did not take well to the teasing, he gets offended and tries to prove you guys wrong.

Currently he is trying to prove you guys that he can sit through a whole saw movie. During lunch break he got tired of the teasing about a Saw movie and made a bet that he could sit through a whole movie. Both you and Gwen knew it was a easy bet to win, because when it comes to blood, Finney is the worst. He paces around his and Gwen's living room trying to mentally and possibly physically prepare himself for this movie. Gwen is trying not to laugh at his silly antics as she sets up a comfy looking diy bed on the floor consisting of layers of blankets to lay on and cover up with, tons of pillows and to finish it off some stuffed animals.

You are standing in the kitchen waiting for the popcorn in the microwave to finish so you can put it in a bowl with salt and melted butter. Gwen finished the 'bed' a while ago and started rewinding the vhs tape, this part was the worst part of watching any form of movies. Having to rewind the tape if it already wasn't, it felt like an eternity especially when you were excited to watch it, even though in reality it took five minutes or more. It depends on how long the movie is and how far into the credits the vhs was before taken out.

Gwen looks over to you announcing that the movie is ready, which was perfect timing because you just finished the popcorn and was grabbing soda for everyone. Everyone takes their spot on the 'bed' with you in the middle, Gwen to your right and Finney to your left. The movie begins playing and all three of you are immediately met with a scene with blood in it. You smirk and look over to Finney who seems to be almost unfazed but still slightly shooken, he seems to be doing alright. Everyone finished the popcorn before the movie was even halfway through.

A scene where a person was getting cut in half was shown and that broke Finney's pride because he psychically recoiled from the scene, leaving the room. You and Gwen burst out laughing as Finney tells you two to shut up, his face red with embarrassment. He looks at you and you smile at him saying, "Don't be such a wimp".
