Takes place after ii season 2 ep 15; i'll try to carry on a narrative and story but this fanfic is really just something to work on when I get bored lol.
Characters aren't mine, all characters are from inanimate insanity and belong to Adam Katz
(yippee a fluff chapter!! Again, like the previous chapter it's a oneshot unrelated to the current story)
"You got the movies ready?" Paintbrush shuts the door behind them in the dark room, with two bowls of popcorn in their arms; neither of them could quite agree on either sugary or salty popcorn, so they just made one bowl of each.
Lightbulb poked her head out of the pile of pillows and blankets she had buried herself in.
"Yep! I got like, a dozen of em!"
"That many? Didn't know you watch so many horror films."
"Oh I don't, all of these are just recommendations from fan"
"Riiight..so you don't know if any of them are good or not?"
"Hey, I got some faith in him. Besides, even if they aren't that good, we can make fun of em."
Paintbrush shrugs, sitting next to lightbulb and pulling the duvet off of her head so they can properly look at her.
"Ok, ok. But not too many, alright? We got that Halloween party that OJ is hosting tomorrow, so I want to actually go to sleep on time."
"I'm gonna be the one doing all the partying, you normally just stand around and chat a bit."
"And make sure you don't go overboard. Do you even remember how many times I'd have to carry you back to my room In the aftermath of it all?"
"I dunno, 2?"
"2 too many." Paintbrush huffed, before picking up the duvet again and putting it on top of both their and lightbulb's shoulders, leaning into her.
"I just want to keep you safe, I don't like seeing you hurt." They blurt out, which lightbulb responded to with a nuzzle in their neck, making paintbrush jitter.
Despite lightbulb being a bit touchy and them having been together for a while, it still got them every time. Every touch from her made them feel just as fuzzy and disheveled as the last, yet they still yearn for it every moment that they are apart.
They look down at lightbulb, moving their hand in patterned motions along her glass.
After a few moments, paintbrush snaps out of their dazing and looks over at lightbulb's laptop in front of them.
"Ok enough waiting, lets watch these movies" paintbrush chuckled, lightbulb pulling away to press play on the first movie she had up.
——————————————————
They...weren't that good. The movies were a bit stereotypical and basic, most of which lightbulb's or paintbrush's jerks of fear coming from cheap jump scares.
"Ugh, this is what I hate about most horror films! They don't know how to built tension, and when they do they throw it all away with something stupid ruining the suspense!"
Lightbulb just rolled her eyes. They were on their third movie now, and she had heard their ramblings a hundred times over.
Not that she minded though, In fact she actually found it endearing at how passionately they talked about it.
Especially their voice, how they started with a frustrated rant before softening their tone to a more hush, but still annoyed level, remembering that lightbulb was probably trying to focus on the movie.
Which she, most of the time actually wasn't. She actually focussed much more on just them, finding the right time to shuffle closer to paintbrush or tighten her grip around their torso as she pretends to get caught off guard by a jump scare, enticing them to reciprocate her embrace back with a head pat or any other form of affection to comfort her.
Aka, she was a bit needy for touch and was trying to find subtle ways paintbrush could satisfy her.
But if you know anything about lightbulb, she's anything but subtle. She doesn't get scared very easily at all either, so it was pretty out of character to see her act like this by something so tame and unapprehensive, heck most of these movies could probably be described as whacky aswell.
So it didn't take too long at all for paintbrush to catch on - only half way through the 3rd movie, about an hour after she had started.
Their furrowed brows and clenched jaw relaxed at the realisation, almost making them chuckle at how silly she was acting.
"Y'know, you don't have to act all spooked for me to comfort you.." they mumble, turning their face from the movie to give her a light peck on her forehead.
"Cuddles are free when I'm with you, ya doofus." Teasing her, paintbrush grabbed the sides of her waist and pulled her up to sit in their lap.
She snuggled up to them, putting her arms over their shoulders.
"I know, just wanted to see how quickly you'd catch on." She lied. Honestly, she mostly just forgot how close they really were. That paintbrush really didn't mind just cuddling with her without her owing them anything back.
They both let out a laugh before settling down to continue watching the movie. It didn't take long for either of them to get pretty tired, and with the extra coziness of their partner laying in their own arms, held in each other's embrace, they found themselves dozing off with the movie still playing in the background.
