ma belle evangeline ♡

in which: you and jonah decide to go to a screening of  the princess and the frog

"come on we're going to be late!" you laughed as you grabbed jonah's hand. you rushed into the movie theater.

"we'll be ok. the movie doesn't actually start for like 20 minutes, y'know previews and such." jonah slightly tugged at your hand to get you to slow down. the two of you decided to book a screening of The Princess and The Frog. it was back in theaters for its anniversary, and jonah thought it would be fun to go see it. you had of course been the cause of being late. doing your hair had taken longer than expected. 

"you know that i like to watch the previews." you shoved yourself into him, tipping him off his balance slightly. he shoved you back, lighter of course. 

the two of you had been friends for a while now. ever since you met on set about a year back. he's been your partner in crime, literally.  the two of you found the most fun in pulling pranks on everyone you know. he had been with you through everything, and it has not gone unnoticed the flirtation happening between the two of you. the tension was recent, nothing out of the ordinary until about a month ago. 

"good point." he held up the tickets you had purchased to the worker holding the scanner at the front. when the two of you were cleared, he headed straight for the theater. 

"what about snacks?" you glanced over at him, then over to the concessions, your hands still laced together. he glanced back at you with a smirk on his face, as he began to dig into the pocket of his jacket. you giggled, not sure what to expect. he pulled candy out of his pocket. Sour Patch Kids and M&M's. 

"my favorites." you grabbed the candy from him as he chuckled. jonah opened the M&M's for you, unnoticed as you entered the theater. you searched for your seats and finally found them, settling yourselves into the comfy recliners. you got there just at the end of the first preview. 

the crackle of you attempting to open the bag of  Sour Patch attracted attention from the people in the surrounding seats. jonah looked over at you and the two of you couldn't help but laugh. you tried to stifle your laughter in your jacket, but you could tell the people around you were getting annoyed. 

...

after what felt like one hundred previews, the movie finally started. you sunk down into your seat as the movie progressed. 

at this point, the firefly Ray, was speaking about Evangeline, his 'lover.' it was a star, but he believed that she was his. you were entranced by the animation as you felt a hand creep towards yours. you glanced down to see jonah's hand reaching for yours. you inched your hand closer to his, finally interlacing your fingers. the two of you had held hands before, but not like this. this wasn't friendly. it felt different. it felt more intimate, more intentional.  he began to run his finger up and down yours. 

you tried to focus back on the movie. it was harder now. the firefly began to sing about the star. the elegant tune gracing your ears. jonah picked your hand up and placed it on the armrest the two of you had been sharing. you slowly glanced over at him, moving your head first before you eyes, still captivated by the screen. you found him glancing down at your hands, slowly up to your chest, then your lips, then your eyes. his look gave you goosebumps. he had never looked at you this way. 

"je t'adore, je t'aime, evangeline. you're my queen of the night, so still, so bright." you heard on the screen. 

"love always finds a way, it's true, and i love you, evangeline."  the song continued.  you glanced back at the screen to find the beautiful animation. the two frogs dancing across the screen, in love. the trumpet in the backround. jonah grabbed you by your chin and brought you to face him again. 

"what are you doing?" you whispered, the lowest volume you could. you could feel your cheeks growing pinker by the second. 

"nothing." he said. the two of you leaned closer to each other, neither one of you pulling back. you couldn't think of anything else when your lips pressed together.  you closed your eyes as the sound of the trumpet in the background flooded your senses. when jonah finally pulled away, you made sure to keep eye contact with him. you sighed, not sure what to do next. no one around you seemed to notice the kiss, all their eyes locked on the screen. 

"look how she lights up the sky."  the screen serenaded. you finally mustered up the courage to look at jonah.  the way his hair curled in the dark light. the way the light reflected on half of his face. the way that you could see the reflection of the movie in his eyes. he seemed to sense you looking over at him, so he faced you. 

"y/n?" he questioned your name. 

"yes?" you replied, still at a whisper. 

"this is going to sound cheesy, but it's true." he glanced down at his lap quickly before looking back up, and taking your hand once more. you looked down at his hands, noticing every detail you hadn't noticed before. 

"what?" you shook your head slightly, a small smile forming on your face. 

"you're my evangeline." 

"i love you, evangeline"
