Eddie Van Halen; Scary Movie Night 🌸

Requested by ~ kiichirose (Bats)

~ Bats' POV ~

I woke up with the biggest smile on my face. I couldn't believe today was finally the day that Eddie was getting back from Van Halen's summer tour. It felt like ages since we've had the chance to see each other and I couldn't wait to see him again. I wasn't sure that he was going to feel that same way about me, though.

We weren't exactly what you would call 'boyfriend and girlfriend', I mean he was in a rock band that toured the world. He wasn't ready to settle down, especially not with one girl. But part of me wished that if he ever did choose to, that it could be with me.

I sprung up out of my bed so that I could start getting ready. He told me he'd stop by my place before heading to a party tonight. I couldn't believe that after all the partying he did on tour, that he really wanted to do even more. I'm hoping that he'll ask me to come along, but part of me didn't want to get my hopes up too high.

I put on a pair of tight skinny jeans and a black tank top with my red jacket. I carefully put makeup on my eyelids and bright red lipstick on my lips. And I went the extra mile and painted my nails a stunning shade of red.

I must've spent most of my day getting ready because as I was putting the finishing touches on my look, a knock at my door made me jump. Tingles ran through my arms and to my fingers when I remembered who would be standing on the other side of the door once I open it.

I made my way over to the door and took a deep breath before swinging it open.

"Bats," Eddie said with the most adorable smile now resting on his face.

"Eddie...," I said, trailing off as a smile fell across my face as well. It was hard not to smile when you're around him.

"You don't know how long I've been waiting to see you," he said after walking into my apartment. My stomach started to fill with butterflies after hearing that. I didn't realize he would've been thinking of me so much.

"I've really missed you," I said back as I shut the door. He walked in further and sat down on my couch, waiting for me to come and join him. "I thought you were heading to a party," I said as I made my way over, sitting down next to him.

He inched closer to me so that our legs were touching. I felt my heart beat faster as he looked at me with such a strong feeling of lust and passion it practically sent my heart melting.

"I was going to," he started, another smile falling across his face. "That was before I remembered how beautiful you are."

"Really," I said back in a flirtatious tone. "So I got dressed up for nothing?"

"We could go to the party," Eddie said. "But I'd rather just stay here with you. If that's okay."

"Of course," I said, a smile flushing across my face as my cheeks started to feel warm. I couldn't imagine tonight going any better than it already was.

Eddie put his arm around me and I rested my head on his shoulder. I forgot exactly how much I had missed him these past few months, all of my thoughts and intentions building up to this exact moment. And it was all proving to be worth it.

He moved his arm lower and pulled me closer to him. I lifted my head up to see if I could read his face as to what he was thinking. Our eyes locked together and he quickly, but gently, pressed his lips against mine. I kissed him back eagerly, not wanting the moment to end. But it seemed to, all too quickly.

"What's your favorite movie?" He asked after he broke off our kiss.

"I have a lot of favorites," I said, smiling as I thought about how badly I just wanted to keep on kissing him. I started to lean in to kiss him again but he moved back ever so slightly.

"What's the rush?" Eddie asked, in a whisper so low I could barely hear. "We have all the time in the world now."

"Fine," I said, moving away from him and standing up off the couch. "If you want to watch a movie, we're going to watch 'The Shining'."

"Perfect," he said, moving his arm to the back of the couch and spreading his legs out onto my coffee table. He smiled and waited for me to put the tape in and get the movie started and I rolled my eyes as I went to do so. I forgot how charming he is.

I put the tape into the player and started to rewind the movie. Truth is, I actually hated horror movies. I wish I liked them because there's so many good ones out there. But they just scare me too much, especially when I'm alone at night and the furnace kicks in. Or worse, when I need to walk through the dark to get to the bathroom in the middle of the night.

I hit play and moved back to where I was sitting earlier. Eddie moved closer to me, again, and the satisfaction in that made me so happy. His arm rested on my shoulder and I laid on his chest as the movie started.

As the movie went on, I couldn't help but feel panicky as the scenes intensified. At some point I even jumped so much that Eddie chuckled at me, tightening his grip on my shoulder.

"I'm just a little scared, is all," I whispered, not wanting to interrupt the suspense of the movie.

"Just a 'little' huh?" He asked, reaching his other hand and rubbing the back of it against my cheek.

"I'm sorry, I should've picked another movie," I said, regretting my choice deeply right now.

"Don't be, you're so cute when you're scared," he replied, charm laced so heavily in his voice.

A smile fell across my face as I felt so comfortable with him, even watching this horrific movie. I never wanted to move. I was so glad that we had spent this time just being with each other instead of going to a wild party tonight. That would've been fun too, but this was so much more meaningful.

- the next morning -

The last thing I remembered was Eddie holding me and comforting me through the movie. But I must've fallen asleep because I didn't remember anything after that. And I was laying on my couch with a blanket draped over me.

I sat up and looked around the room, noticing Eddie asleep on the chair. Or at least he was asleep, somehow the creaking of the couch springs had made his eyes slowly start to open. I was so glad that he was still here.

"Mornin'," Eddie said with a groggy voice as he poised himself up in the chair.

"Why didn't you wake me up?" I asked, sad that I had slept through our entire night together last night.

"I just couldn't," he said with a friendly expression on his face.

"When did you get all sensitive?" I teased, grabbing the pillow that my head was resting on all night, and throwing it over at him.

He caught it with ease and tossed it back to me with a playful look falling across his face.

"What was that?" He asked, now standing up and sitting himself down next to me on the couch.

We both laughed and looked into each other's eyes again. I leaned in and started to kiss him, him following me without hesitation. He put his hand on the back of my head, pulling me in closer. His other hand trailed up and down on my leg and I started to smile through the kiss.

"What?" Eddie asked, stopping the kiss. He started to kiss my cheek, moving closer to my ear, as I thought of what I wanted to say to him.

"I'm just so glad that you're here," I said. He stopped and looked into my eyes again, my heart absolutely falling apart as he looked to me with those soft brown eyes.

"Me too," he said quietly before starting to kiss me again.

Nothing could've been more perfect than this moment together. And I had a feeling there would be many more moments like this to come.
