Word count: 537ish

"Come on, Y/N. Let's see a scary movie." Percy bugged you, poking your shoulder as you waited in line to buy your movie theater tickets.

You sighed, squinting to read the sign of movies that were playing. Percy moved in front of you, blocking your view with his face.

"Please please pleeeeeaaase." He begged.

You continued to ignore him, still reading the movie sign. You had figured he'd want to see Finding Dory for the thirtieth time, but for some reason he would not stop pestering you on seeing a scary movie. You had the thought that maybe he wanted to see one so you'd hug or cuddle him in fear of what was on the screen, but you weren't scared that easily. You didn't want to disappoint him.

Percy tugged at your hand that he had been holding, the puppy dog look still cemented on his face.

"Can we pleeease see a scary movie babe?" He pleaded, and you nodded, sighing as he jumped up with excitement.

You swung his hand back and forth in yours."And explain to me why exactly you want to see a scary movie?"

He shrugged. "Don't know."

^.^

After about fifteen minutes of repeatedly switching seats, Percy finally chose a pair of seats, claiming they had the best view. You didn't really care but went along with it anyway, munching on the popcorn before the movie started. Percy put his arm around you and you leaned into his chest, making sure you had access to the food from your position.

When the trailers started playing, Percy began  nudge you, letting you know he wanted to see that movie.

The movie started and you as it went on you could feel Percy tense, gripping you tighter as it went along. You were pretty emotionless through out watching it, it was alright but the jump scares were obvious and the plot line was horrible.

One of the jump scares occurred and Percy threw the popcorn container into the air, it landing and spilling all over the couple in front of you. While Percy didn't take his fear-filled eyes off of the screen, you were more horrified at the fact that he just spilt popcorn all over that couple. You rushed out of his grip and immediately apologized, offering them your unopened candy box. They took it and you took Percy's hand trying to tug him out of the theater, the movie obviously not for him.

"No, Y/N. It's alright, I'm not scared." He whispered, green eyes still locked with the screen.

You rolled your eyes. He was trying to be a "bigger man". This would take some guts, but you decided to do it anyway.

"But I'm scared, Perce. Can we leave and see Finding Dory instead?" You pleaded, and you could see the relief in his eyes as he looked at you.

He nodded and the two of you quietly left, sneaking into the screen that was playing Finding Dory.

"Thanks, Y/N." He smiled, giving you a kiss on the cheek.

"Anytime, anytime." You said, leaning into him as you two sat yourselves in new seats for Finding Dory.

Needless to say, Percy liked Finding Dory much better.
