Until Dawn: My Nerdy Superhero (ChrisXReader)

Just Like Old Times

MATT POV:
"Seriously, couldn't they have built the lodge like right where the cable car ends?" Emily complained. We started walking towards the lodge.

"I don't think it would have been, like, as pretty, you know?" I said.

"And where's a bellboy when you need one!" Emily asked as I picked up our bags. Ever since her and Mike broke up and we started dating, I've been doing everything for her.

"Brr... Gettin' chills..." She shivered.

"We're almost there-" I assured her.

"No I mean... Gettin' kinda creeped out." She clarified. "Gonna be weird seeing everyone up here again."

"Definitely not going to feel like a regular party." I agreed. "I mean- what do you think-"

Mike jumped out of nowhere and scared the hell out of us. "JESUS!" Emily screamed.

"Whoa! Dude!" I yelled.

Mike just laughed at us, "You guys!"

"MICHAEL!" Emily scolded him.

"You really should have seen your faces right there." Mike laughed.

"Dude I almost clocked you just now." I warned him.

"Michael, you're a jerk." Emily insulted.

"Come on guys, we're all friends here, right? No need for violence, just a little harmless fun! We're up in the woods! It's spooky! Come on, let's get into the spirit of things!" He said.

"The spirit of things? Seriously? What's wrong with you?" Emily asked.

"I'm just trying to lighten the mood, Em, don't be like that." He told her.

"Like what?" Emily scoffed.

"The way you're being, you always get like this." Mike explained.

I tried to calm things down a bit "Michael... I'm just gonna lay it out, otherwise this weekend's gonna suck ass for everyone. This is super awkward and we all know it. Let's just acknowledge it now and move on. Okay?" I asked.

"I hear you, man. I get it. I don't wanna make this weird." He agreed.

"Cool. So we're good?" I asked.

"All good." Mike confirmed.

"You guys gonna make out now?" Emily teased.

"Oh my god totally, we're sooooo gonna make out!" Mike joked in his best white girl voice. "Uh... No, seriously, I'm gonna go check out the cable car back down the trail."

"See ya, man." I said.

"See ya!" He said before walking back down the trail.

"Ah, crap." Emily breathed. "Hey, could you take these the rest of the way?"

"The bags?" I questioned.

"Yeah, just... All the bags." She said.

"Uh... Why?" I asked.
