I sat next to the microwave, hearing the constant pop as popcorn heated. Jerome stood in the hallway holding a bag that he refused to show me. I looked back at him when he wasn't paying attention, studying his perfect features before moving my gaze to a picture of a pear.
"Is it done yet Mitch" Jerome called as I pulled the hot bag from the microwave. I yelled back a yes before going and sinking into my favorite creves in the couch.
Jerome came running into the room and covered my eyes as he shoved something in my mouth. When he pulled away, all he needed to see was the look of disgust in my eyes.
"What you think" he said as he plopped down on the couch. I couldn't tell what I was eating, but the taste was indiscrible.
"Simply amazing" I said as I reached into the bowl and grabbed a handful of the concoction.
"Okay, now we are truly ready to watch the movie" he said as he turned it on, a horror movie of some sort began to play.
-Thirty minutes later-
Jerome was laughing as a monster jumpscared us. The reason? I had climbed onto his body as I shook in fear.
"Mitch, it's just a movie" he said before hiccups.
"That's easy for you to say" I said as I let go of him. He looked me in the eyes, his own becoming soft He held me close to him and hugged me.
"You don't need to be scared okay" he said, rubbing my back. I looked at him and felt myself blush. He just cupped my cheek and kissed me.
"Okay, crazy bacca" I said as laid against him, continuing to watch the movie.
