"do you want popcorn?" i ask as i start the movie.

"sure" he says and i get up and walk into the kitchen where i open the cabinet. "kettle or butter?" i ask.

"butter" he says from the living room.

a couple minutes later the microwave goes off and i grab the bag.

my feet stop where you can't see me, but i can see in the living room. daniel sits there slightly wide eyed as he looks at the tv.

he really doesn't like scary movies, he could've said no to the idea.

apparently a jump scare happens, because daniel covers his whole face and looks away quickly.

which causes me to flinch at his sudden action.

i walk in and he quickly moves his hands.

"here" i say as i pass him the bag and he accepts it with a slightly shaking hand.

"wanna watch a different movie?" i ask and he simply shakes his head.

i fall on the couch beside him and he takes a handful of popcorn before sitting the bowl in between us.

thirty minutes later daniel has pressed into his own chest with his arms wrapped around them.

my feet are propped on the coffee table and i'm tired.

"jump scare" i say as i count with my fingers. i point when the scare happens and daniel looks over at me, his eyes shut though.

"how do you watch's these so calmly?" he asks as he look over at the tv to see if the scary part is done. "still going" i say before his whole head is turned.

"tip, always have someone to watch them with" i point over to jonah who is curled into the chair.

"that's mine" i say "and besides they aren't that scary after you've seen them".

he looks at me like i'm crazy, "why would you want to watch them again?"

"for reactions like this" i say and i point to the tv and his dumb ass looks at the tv.

he screams as soon as his eyes land on the screen, "why would you do that?!" he squeals as he hides his face in his shirt.

"because its funny" i laugh and he glares at me, "no its not".

he grabs the pillow that behind him and hits me with it, a couple times.

and i hit him back with the one from behind me.

"children, children let's calm down now" jonah says and we both stop swinging at each other to look at the boy who looks half asleep still.

then he's back asleep, "he's like an old man stuck in a teens body..." daniel says and i laugh.

"i've told him that a few times" i smile and daniel smiles back before taking his spot on the couch again.

"do you watch stranger things?" i ask and he nods and i simply turn off the dvd player before turning netflix on.

"season?" i asks and he simply says "one or two i've already watched them all".

"can we agree steve is great?"

"agreed".
