   Alfred looked around untill he finally found (Y/N) near the front of the school. She was saying bye to Matthew. Alfred walked over to them. They waved to each other when Matthew caught sight of Alfred. He waved to him, and Alfred returned the gesture. (Y/N) turned around and grinned. Matthew then walked away saying one final goodbye and that he would be back by 9:30 PM.
Alfred approached (Y/N) and felt himself tense up. He had never felt like that before... He really did like her...
"Hey, (Y/N)!" Alfred says in his normal loud voice, trying to act as normal as possible. "Hi Alfred," she said with her small smile. Alfred loved that smile, he wanted to be able to see it more.
"You ready to go, dudette?" (Y/N) nodded and together they walked to the house. Alfred was nervous. He had never really liked a girl before. He wanted her to like him back, but he wanted for her to be happy... No matter what.
"So, what movie are we gonna be watching," (Y/N) said, bringing Alfred out of his thoughts. "Oh, yeah! My friend Kiku lent me a horror movie not to long ago. I was thinking we could watch that."
(Y/N) was nervous. She had never watched a horror movie before, she had always been too timid to. Since Alfred is going to be with me I think I'll be okay.
"Y-yeah, sure. Sounds good," (Y/N) said with a small smile, covering up her fears.
"Alright let's go! I already ordered a pizza! So we need to get there before it comes!" Alfred grabbed (Y/N)'s hand and began running down the street. The feeling of her hand in his made his face heat up a little, but he was too excited to dwell on it.
(Y/N) giggled. Alfred could be childish sometimes, but he was fun to be around. She was so glad she had found friends as good as Alfred and Matthew.
They ran all the way untill they reached the house. They went inside, panting and laughing. "G-give me a heads up next time you wanna run," (Y/N) said between breathes. Alfred simply smiled and said, "You got it, dudette." He was happy, (Y/N) had started opening up and talking more often. He liked seeing her like that.
The two of them went into the living room and collapsed on the couch. They sat there for a while, trying to catch their breath. "So what do you have planned?" (Y/N) asked after a while.
   Alfred sprang up out of the couch. "Well I ordered the pizza, it should be here soon. I'll go make the popcorn and grab some pillows and blankets. Oh, and also...," he went over to the window. He closed the blinds and turned out the lights in the room. "It wouldn't be a scary movie if we didn't turn out all the lights." He grinned and (Y/N) grinned back, but she was actually kind of scared.
   Alfred left and came back with two blankets and pillows. He walked up behind (Y/N) and dropped them all on her head. She  threw them all off of her and turned to glare at Alfred. He just started laughing. (Y/N) tried to keep a straight face, but soon enough she was laughing along with her American friend.
   "I'm gonna go make the popcorn now," Alfred said and left to go to the kitchen. (Y/N) started to pick up and arrange the pillows and blankets that had been thrown about.
   She heard a car come into the driveway. She waited for a knock on the door or for the doorbell to ring... But it never came. She then heard the car leaving. Strange she thought. Then came a knock on the door.
   "Hey (Y/N)! Could you get that! The money's on the table!"
   "Okay." She was confused, and wanted to find out what had happened.
   She picked up the money on the table and went to the door. When she opened it, there wasn't someone wearing a delivery boy's uniform, but someone wearing a black suit and dark sunglasses.
   "Here you are, love," the boy said in a horrible attempt to hide his accent. The sunglasses did not do a good job covering his eyebrows either.
   "Arthur? What are you doing?" She asked. The Brit let out a sigh of frustration. "Bollocks, how did you know it was me?"
   "W-well... You're not a delivery boy, i can clearly see your hair and eyebrows, and you did a horrible job of hiding your accent," (Y/N) said a bit timidly, not really wanting to offend him. "W-well anyways, what are you doing here?"
   "Well, Francis and I made a little... Wager and I need to make sure I win."
he said with a smirk.
   "What kind of wager?"
   "YO! (Y/N)! What's taking so long?" Alfred shouted from the living room.
   Arthur took the money from (Y/N)'s hand and gave her the pizza. "Bye, love," he said and then ran off.
   "W-wait A-Arthur?!" But he was already gone. She sighed and went back inside. She set the pizza on the table and took her seat next to Alfred.
   "What happened?" He asked as she wrapped herself in one of the blankets. "O-oh, it was nothing," she said. Alfred was curious, but he trusted her.
"Okay. You ready to start the movie?" Alfred asked as he grabbed the bowl of popcorn. (Y/N) gave a small smile and nodded.
The movie had barely begun and (Y/N) was already trembling. She tightly hugged the pillow and shoved popcorn in her mouth. Alfred put a reassuring hand on her shoulder, but it did not help much because he was trembling too.
"I-I-It's g-gonna be f-fine (Y-Y/N)," he said shakily. They both continued to shove popcorn into their faces.
Suddenly, there was a jump scare. The two jumped, throwing the popcorn into the air, and hugged each other for safety. At first they were both just terrified, then Alfred realized... He was hugging (Y/N). He gave her reassuring pats on the back, but his hand was still shaking. It was nice, but he was still terrified.
~~~Timeskip of Movie Watching~~~
By the end of the movie, both (Y/N) and Alfred were trembling and hugging for a sense of security. Neither wanted to let go, they were both too terrified (and Alfred, of course, had another reason).
   "Heh... W-well it w-was a pretty g-good m-movie... T-terrifying but g-good...." Alfred stuttered.
   "Y-yeah... I-it w-was s-scary but... I-I had f-fun..." She said with a shaky smile. Despite all that... She says she had fun and smiles... She really is amazing... Alfred thinks as he pats (Y/N)'s back.
   They broke away from their embrace and sat staring blankly at the TV.
   "W-well what do we do now?" Alfred asked, he noticed the time was 7:30.
   "I-I don't know... I-I'm kind of too terrified to do anything..."
   They both chuckled softly. They decided just to talk to get their minds off the movie they had just watched. It was mainly Alfred talking, and (Y/N) laughing and making occasional comments.
   ~~~Timeskip~~~
   Matthew came home around 9:30 just like he said he would. When he approached the house he saw all the lights were out.
    He quietly opened the door and stepped inside. He walked past the living room and saw Alfred and (Y/N) both asleep on the couch with the TV still on.
   He sighed. He walked over to the TV and turned it off. He looked over at (Y/N). She looked adorable while she slept. He lightly pat her head, causing him to blush slightly. He hoped he'd be able to do something alone with (Y/N)....
