The Curse of Horror Movies(The Curse Being You Are 100% More Likely to Make Out)

"Please, Sam? Please, please, please?" Gabriel begged, looking up at Sam with the saddest eyes that he could muster, his fingers digging into the sleeve of his hoodie before he loosened his grip, lightly stroking the fabric in a subconscious apology. Sam stood across from him, halfway turned to leave his room, to close the window on Gabriel, a slightly annoyed look on his face at the whining teenager standing in front of him.

"Why don't you just get Cas to watch the movie with you? Surely it'll be more fun than hanging out with me," Sam reasoned, but Gabriel shook his head stubbornly, the hoodie falling in his eyes and the ears hanging down and pointing towards Sam. He pushed the mouse ears back a bit, ruffling his hair as he gave a pout.

"I don't know Cassie well enough to know what he likes, and I wanna watch it with you," Gabriel argued, feeling suddenly shy as he watched Sam arch one eyebrow as if he had said something wrong. Nevertheless, Sam finally relented, letting out a frustrated sigh and shuffled a bit, putting on his shoes before he was climbing out his window, although it would have been perfectly okay for him to go through the front door. Then again, Gabriel wasn't complaining, feeling a stir of excitement at the thought of the secrecy that sneaking through the windows brought.

"One movie, alright? Just one," Sam huffed, giving Gabriel a glare that made it clear that he was serious before he headed to the living room, kicking off his shoes as he went. Gabriel followed, giving him a bob of his head despite Sam not seeing, and bouncing a little in excitement. He couldn't remember the last time that he had watched a movie together with someone.

He dived past Sam in his excitement, thrusting his hips and knocking him out of the way so he could get through to scramble to the couch and turn on Netflix on Castiel's tv. Sure, Netflix never had any good horror movies, but they were fun to watch, especially when he and his mom had stayed up for nearly an hour afterward, giggling and making fun of the bad plots and effects.

Sam plopped down beside him on the couch, sitting as far to the edge of the seat as he could so he didn't touch Gabriel. It made the smaller teen frown but he pushed his disappointment to the side. After all, it was a big step for Sam just to sit and watch a movie with him.

"You gonna pick something or what?" Sam asked in frustration, pulling Gabriel from his thoughts about Sam. The boy still looked annoyed, though Gabriel could tell by a certain lack of heat in his eyes that he was just doing it to keep up the front he had when he was around Gabriel. It was his only reassurance that Sam actually liked him, that and the way that his fingers twitched towards Gabriel, like he wanted to touch him.

It was really hard for Gabriel not to get a smug little grin at that thought.

"We'll watch The Curse of Sleeping Beauty. That was the next on my list," Gabriel stated, clicking on the movie when it popped up. His list was long, containing every horror movie on Netflix, and forever growing as they added more and more.

Sam snorted, crossing his arms over his chest and hiding his hands from Gabriel, "Sounds stupid," Sam mumbled, though he said nothing further as he sunk back on the couch, watching the studio logos that appeared on the screen. Gabriel grabbed the pillow beside the couch that he kept for his special horror movie night, pulling it into his lap and ignoring Sam's stare as he curled his knees up to his chest, cradling it. If Sam wasn't going to touch him, fine.
