𝐲/𝐧'𝐬 𝐏𝐎𝐕:

It's FINALLY Friday night and me and Ume have been begging sensei for like a week now to let us stay up really late at night so we could watch movies.
He refused at first, but I guess he got tired of our nonstop nagging (well, it was mainly Ume nagging him, not me) that he gave in and agreed, and he even made snacks for us, how nice.

Now it's 11 PM and we're both sitting down on the living room couch arguing about what to watch.

"C'mon, just listen to me and let's watch horror movies.
It'll be so fun, I promise."

"No way.
I am NOT watching anything even remotely scary tonight.
Do you want me to have nightmares?"

"Are you really that much of a wimp?
Just trust me on this one.
Let's watch The Conjuring.
I heard it's really good."

"Seriously?
The Conjuring?
No.
I've heard it's really scary.
AND that it's based off a true story?
There's no way you're making me watch that."

"A horror movie is supposed to be scary, dumbass.
And besides, who cares if it's based off a true story?
Nothing's gonna happen to us if we watch it."

"Are you sure about that?"

"Of course I'm sure.
Let's watch The Conjuring, and then afterwards if you don't feel like you're gonna rot in bed having nightmares every night for the next three weeks, then we can watch The Conjuring 2.
If you feel too scared though, then I guess we can watch something else.
You can choose."

He ponders over my deal for a few moments, then answers.

"Okay, fine, but I'm probably gonna yell everytime there's anything even close to a jumpscare, so be prepared to deal with that."

"Damn, okay.
Just don't yell too loudly.
Everyone's asleep, and you don't wanna wake anyone up at this hour.
But anyways, lemme start the movie."

[𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐩 - 𝐭𝐰𝐨 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬 𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫.]

At this rate, I think I'm gonna go deaf by morning.
This idiot next to me wouldn't stop shrieking at every jumpscare and he kept falling on me so many times that I wanna sit on the floor now.
I actually might.
And he ate all the popcorn.
Jerk.
The movie's done (and it was really good, I liked it), and now Ume's clinging onto my arm, his head on my shoulder.
He breathes out a sigh of relief.

"Oh thank God it's over."

"It was great.
I liked it.
Should we watch The Conjuring 2?"

"What do ya think?"

"I think we should.
I'm gonna play it."

"I didn't mean that-"

"I know you didn't.
And I don't care."

"Ugh.
Rude."

"You're the one who's rude.
You ate all the popcorn!
Imagine how I feel right now."

"Uh, sorry?"

"It's fine.."

I turn on The Conjuring 2, and we both shut up to watch the movie.

[𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐩: 𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫.]

We're halfway through the movie, I guess, and I can't bear sitting on the sofa anymore.
It's torture.
I push Ume aside a bit and sit down on the floor instead.
He looks down at me.

"What are you doing?"

"Sitting on the floor.
You're annoying me."

"Then what am I supposed to hold onto while watching?"

"Nothing.
Stop being a coward.
You'll be fine sitting by yourself.
It's not like I'm leaving you alone to watch the rest of the movie."

He scoffs.
I have to admit he looks adorable when he does that.

[𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐩 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫.]

We've finally finished watching The Conjuring 2 as well.
I liked this one more than the first, though.
I'm lying down on the floor, so I turn my body around to face the couch and look up at him.
He's wrapped up in a blanket and has a pillow in his lap.
I realised he can see the clock, so I'll ask him the time.

"What time is it?"

"Around 3 AM, I guess..
Why?"

"It's that late already?
Damn.
Should we go to bed, then?"

"Sure..
But I just know I'm gonna get nightmares tonight, so I'm blaming you for it."

"Okay?
I don't care.
Blame me all you want."

"Fine."

He scoffs again.
I get up and turn the TV off.

"Come on, let's go inside."

He gets up as well and grabs the pillow and blanket in his hand.
We walk inside quietly so as not to disturb anyone and lie down in our respective beds.
God, I didn't realise how tired I am till now.

[𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠: 9:20 𝐀𝐌.]

I've been awake for around half an hour now.
Ume's still asleep, and I didn't bother waking him up for breakfast.
I just ate breakfast and now I'm sitting next to Kotoha on the living room floor.
She taps my shoulder.

"Is Umemiya still asleep?"

"Yeah."

"Go wake him up."

"Why?
He's probably tired since we stayed up so late."

"He gets all cranky whenever he wakes up late.
You know how annoying that is.
So go wake him up."

"Fine..
Why me though?"

"'Cause there's a better chance of him listening to you."

"Okay, understandable."

I get up and go inside the bedroom.
He's sleeping soundly, so calm.
I don't even feel like waking him up.
I stand right beside his bed and kneel down, then shake him a little.
That should do it.
He stirs a bit and yep, he's awake.
He groans and turns around just to see me.

"Why'd you wake me up..?
I wanna sleep.."

"It's almost 9:30.
Wake up and eat breakfast.
You can sleep later if you want."

"Ugh..
Fineeee..."

I pat his head, though a little harder than I intended to, and stand up straight.

"Good.
I'll be waiting for you outside."

Then I leave.

Finally, I'm back and I'll be publishing weekly chapters again!!
Sorry, I know I made so many timeskips in this one but I didn't wanna write about the movies much. 😭
I watched The Conjuring and The Conjuring 2 and thought a movie night would be a good idea.
And I'm thinking from now I wanna make our main couple a similar duo to Kenji and Juliette from the Shatter Me series 🤭 (I'm seriously in love with it), but of course it'll be a bit different from them.
And I couldn't decide on a picture for the starting so.. 😪
So yeah, that's all for now. :D
