Y/N AND JACE WERE SPRAWLED OUT ON THE COUCH IN THEIR SHARED APARTMENT,
the dim light of the TV casting eerie shadows on the walls. The Nun was playing, and the tension in the air was thick as hell.
Jace took a drag from his cigarette, the smoke curling around his face. "Yo, you sure you wanna watch this?" he asked, glancing at Y/N.
"Yeah, I'm good," she replied, her voice steady but her eyes betraying her nerves.
As another jump scare flashed across the screen, Y/N yelped and dove behind Jace, her fingers digging into his side. "Fuck!" she exclaimed, trying to catch her breath.
Jace chuckled, shaking his head. "I swear you told me you liked scary movies..."
"Yea, yea... I do," Y/N muttered, peeking out from behind him. "Just... I don't, okay? This shit is wild."
He smirked, taking another puff. "You ain't gotta front for me, ma. It's all good."
She rolled her eyes, but couldn't help the smile tugging at her lips. "Shut up, Jace."
Another scream from the movie had her jumping again, this time into his lap. He wrapped an arm around her, his cigarette still balanced between his fingers. "Damn, girl, you really ain't built for this."
Y/N glared up at him. "I ain't scared, I just... wasn't expecting it."
"Yeah, sure," he teased, flicking ash into the tray on the table. "You know, it's cool if you wanna turn this off and watch something else."
"Nah," she said, her voice firm. "We started this, we finishing it."
Jace laughed, shaking his head. "Alright, tough guy. Just don't squeeze me to death, aight?"
She settled back against him, her heart still racing but her determination unshaken. "I'll try not to."
As the movie continued, Y/N found herself clutching Jace a little less tightly. Maybe she didn't love scary movies as much as she claimed, but with Jace by her side, she felt like she could handle anything.
Jace took one last drag from his cigarette before stubbing it out. "You good?" he asked softly, his arm tightening around her.
"Yeah," she whispered, her eyes never leaving the screen. "I'm good."
And for the rest of the movie, despite the scares and the jumps, she really was.
The movie dragged on, each scene testing Y/N's nerves more than the last. Jace, on the other hand, seemed unfazed, his steady presence grounding her. The final act was a whirlwind of chaos and terror, but somehow, they made it through.
As the credits rolled, Y/N let out a heavy sigh of relief, sinking deeper into the couch. "Thank God that shit is over," she muttered, wiping a bit of sweat from her brow.
Jace smirked, rubbing her shoulder. "You did good, ma. Proud of you."
She shot him a look, but there was no heat in it. "Whatever. Next time, we're watching something I pick."
He laughed, the sound rich and warm. "Deal. But no rom-coms, aight? Can't handle all that mushy shit."
"Fine," she agreed, rolling her eyes. "I'll find something you'll like."
