Dirk x Reader

Sweet Dreams

 You stared at each other, neither of you not quite sure what to say. Both your cheeks darkened, but it felt awkward to do anything else. You finally took a breath and brought your smile back, then spoke up.

"How about we just relax and watch some movies... Sound good?"

"Yeah... Sounds good."

He nodded and got off you, then you went over and turned on your favorite movie. During the previews, you went to the kitchen and popped some popcorn to the two of you. You brought it over once it was done, and he shifted a little. He looked uncomfortable. You handed him a bag of popcorn. He took it. That was that. The two of you sat on opposite sides of the couch. It was like that for a while until you got annoyed and spoke up.

"It was an accident, Dirk."

"Hm?"

"It was an accident. Just don't worry about it, okay? It was nothing. Can you please just chill and relax with me?"

His shoulders fell a little and he smiled. "Yeah. Come here, I ran out of popcorn." He raised his arm and you scooted over, popcorn in your hand. You curled up under his arm and shared your popcorn with him. When that movie ended, you got up and put in another movie, then sat back down next to him. It was nice sitting with him like that. He was warm and comfy. It just felt nice. It felt kind of right.

The day went on and you guys just kept watching movies. When it started getting dark, the two of you ordered some pizza and he got up and paid for it, then brought it back for the two of you. You ate 2 slices, he ate 4, then you went and put it in the fridge. During that time, he quickly went and put a horror movie into the DVD player. Then he went and sat on the couch.

"Hey _____, bring us some sodas!"

"You got it!"

He pressed play and sat back, then you came back and curled up next to him again.

"What movie is this?"

"Oh, just a random movie I chose."

You shrugged and decided to lay your head on his shoulder. You curled up a little tighter as he movie went on. He looked over at you and grabbed your hand, nodding reassuringly. You nodded back and continued watching the movie, squeezing his hand every so often. Eventually, the jump scares got to be too much for you and you hid your face in his chest. He wrapped his arms around you and looked at you worried.

"You good? I can turn it off if you want."

"Nope. I've never gotten through a horror movie and I really want to."

"Never? I mean, we can take a break from it and continue it later."

"I'll be alright... Really, don't worry."

"Well... Okay..."

You looked at the screen once more, but he continued to hold you close. A few more jump scares caused you to look away, and one even made him jump a little and hold you tighter. You couldn't help but smile just a little. You turned your head back to the movie and held onto his arm. At the next jump scare he squeezed you a little again. It helped you to keep watching the movie.

By the end of the movie, the two of you were holding onto each other pretty tightly. You grabbed the remote and switched over to Netflix, turning on some cartoons so the two of you could relax. Dirk didn't object. You turned on the new Age of Voltron and blew through it. Unfortunately, the show wasn't finished so you were left with a cliffhanger. By the time you looked at the clock, it was already 12:32 in the morning.

"I think we better try to get some sleep..."

"Yeah, I'm pretty tired. I'll see you in the morning. Sound good?"

"Yeah. Sounds good, Dirk."

"Alright... Then good night. Sleep well."

"You too. Sweet dreams."

You got up and went to your room, getting changed into your pajamas and climbing into your bed. You laid there awake for a while, still shaken up from the movie. You curled up tight in your blanket and shut your eyes. Eventually it got to you and you got back up, going to the kitchen and making a hot cocoa.

"Still up?"

"Huh?! Oh... Hey Dirk... Yeah... I couldn't sleep..."

"Neither can I. That movie was worse than I thought it would be."

"Yeah..."

You turned and kept making your hot cocoa. You took a few sips and set it down. You turned to talk to Dirk again and jumped when you saw him right there.

"You look tired, _____."

"Y-yeah... I am..."

"Come on. Let's go, you need your rest."

You were too tired to even argue just to finish your drink, so you nodded and followed him to your room. He made sure you got in bed then left, assuring he'd be back. A few moments he was back with pajama pants on and no shirt. He turned off the light and climbed in next to you, laying on his back. He placed his shades on the night shade and closed his eyes. With him there, you fell asleep within seconds.
